Chapter 828: Chapter 828. Is this Kailen guy a god or something?
200 light years away from the Tesla Domain.
7000 light years away from the Tyrant Domain.
Several celestial bodies were clustered across the vicinity.
Several individuals were currently standing somewhere on a moon in this region.
These people were naturally Kailen Darkhaven and the rest of the tactical Division members. There were also a couple of unit heads of the assassin division and combat division with them. They came here to guard Kailen and the tactical Division people.
The tacticians were elite among the elite when it came to tactics. They were well versed in the matters of warfare and tactics. Before they became transcendents, they were well known throughout their various regions in the edge region of the universe for their uncanny tactical acumen. Even among the various organizations they were part of in the Venzula Empire, they were not ordinary.
As for the unit heads of the assassin Division who were here, Julian was part of them.
He had opted to come with Kailen. Kailen was not against the idea. In the chaotic region, Julian was the only person he could trust. Having him here was a good call.
Mara Harven, the vice president of the NGU, was also here. She was one of the unit heads of the Combat Division who came here.
The ground suddenly shook.
Something scanned the group.
A small door appeared on the moon ground and slid open.
Everyone went through the door.
It closed and disappeared as if it had never been there in the first place.
If anyone appeared on this moon, they wouldn’t identify anything different about it.

The place was extremely large. There were several living rooms and bedrooms here.
There was even a lounge.
In the centre of Central command was a large conference room with a lot of holographic screens floating across the place.
"Did they build this place for us to come and have a vacation here or what?" Julian shook his head.
"Who knows?" Mara Harven said.
After a few bouts of casual conversations, Kailen spoke.
"Let’s get to work, everyone."
Those responsible for guarding Central Command disseminated to their designated spots.
Several holograms appeared before them.
They were able to observe the outside of the moon, several celestial bodies across the place and about 50 light years away from here.
This was to ensure that in case of any emergencies, they would be able to identify a threat quickly and neutralize it.
The tactical team members moved into the large conference room. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Kailen was seated at the head of the table.
He scanned everyone.
They included people from different races. Dwarves, vampires, witches, spectrals, gnomes, titans, among others.
"Ladies and gentlemen... The war has already begun. To the royal family, it will begin a week today... but to us, it’s already started. Let’s all have this thought at the back of our minds," Kailen said.
"Noted, Chief Commander," everyone responded.
"Good. Hit the signal."
At Kailen’s words, someone tapped on something.
All the holographic screens came to life.
Several tiny spots mixed with a lot of lines and colored spots came into view.
"Don’t zoom into the capital. The royal family definitely has intelligence agents trying to track our location. Zoom into Red Tide Island."
"Roger, sir," the titan replied.
He zoomed into Red Tide Island. A particular part on the schema enlarged and turned into the view of red tide Island.
Eventually, everyone in the conference room saw Principal Luther, leading a number of people across the oceans.

Red Tide Island.
Somewhere on the crimson oceans.
"Incoming signal, sir," someone said.
"Must be the chief commander," Principal Luther said. "Connect."
"Yes, sir."
A holographic screen appeared before Luther. freёweɓnovel.com
"Mr. Darkhaven... you finally managed to secure Central Command, I suppose," Luther said.
"Yes, sir. Try to turn on your comm. I would prefer having access to you directly," Kailen said.
"Alright," Luther said and turned on his comm.
A holographic image of Kailen appeared before him.
Everyone looked at the holographic screen.
They saw Kailen and the others in the conference room of Central command from Luther’s holographic screen.
"How’s it going at your end?" Kailen asked.
"We are almost wrapping up. We’ve slaughtered dozens of rank 6 novice stage and rank 7 novice stage Aquamarine Herculean Crabs and extracted their blood," Luther said. "However, we are yet to slaughter a rank 1 intermediate stage chaotic beast."
"Nicely done, sir..." Kailen suddenly paused midway.
His eyes widened across the holographic screen.
"Something is not right. How long has it been since you last encountered any Aquamarine Herculean Crab?" Kailen asked.
"Almost seven hours have passed," Luther said.
"That’s unusual. These creatures are very vengeful. If a number of them are killed, several will make an appearance. It’s either you’ve managed to kill those in the vicinity or there’s a trap ahead of you. Kindly retreat from your current location as fast as you can."
The moment Kailen spoke, Luther and his operatives turned into streaks of light and disappeared from their current location, appearing almost at the shore of the island.
For a brief moment, nothing happened.
Then, the island shook.
A very colossal crab-looking creature emerged from somewhere in the ocean.
Everyone stared at it.
It’s pair of stick-like eyes stared at everyone.
They all felt like they could die from just a single breath of the creature.
It was unlike any Aquamarine Herculean Crab they had encountered ever since they arrived here.
The creature’s eyes were full of hatred.
"It was a trap," Kailen sighed. He could have lost the Principal, someone who would play a very key role in the war had he not been discerning.
Principal Luther and his operatives stared at the screen before them.
"Thank you, chief commander."
Their eyes flashed with respect for Kailen. This fellow was the real deal. Had it not been for his sharp deduction, they would have all died.
As for those in the conference room in Central command with Kailen, they looked at him with profound respect.
If at first they respected him because of what they had learnt about him concerning his past feats as a tactician, it was because of what he had just pulled off.
Chief Commander Darkhaven was simply abnormal.
"No worries," Kailen replied to Principal Luther, his expression calm.
"The crab is not alone. There are most likely others like it in the vicinity," Kailen said.
The moment he spoke, several rank 1 intermediate stage aquamarine crabs emerged from the waters.
They were so large that their legs could literally stand in the red oceans.
Even principal Luther was terrified.
He could take on one of these creatures, but all of them, he was not sure....
Kailen gave principal Luther and the others a calm look through the hologram.
Those with him in the conference room wondered. How would he handle this?
The most rational option was for them to retreat and leave these creatures behind. Right?
Kailen was calm. The crabs were approaching the shore. Each step they took caused the ground to shake and several crimson waves to rise.
"Principal Luther, launch attacks towards their chests. It may not do much damage, but it will disorient them. Use that moment of disorientation to slaughter them all," Kailen said.
He knew these creatures very well. Since they behaved just like the ones he had dealt with in a simulation in the pocket world when he was in the light region before he became a Transcendent, this would work. He thought.
Luther nodded without hesitation.
He didn’t approach them. He stood on the shore, his operatives behind him.
A large thunder bolt formed from the principle of lightning appeared in his hand.
Would this work?
Those at the shore and those in the conference room of Central command wondered.
Luther launched one lightning bolt after another towards the chests of the creatures.
The lightning bolts blitzed through the air with terrifying speed, landing on the chests of the creatures.
The creatures staggered and squealed weakly, staggering in the crimson ocean.
It worked. Everyone thought.
Luther’s eyes glinted.
"Is this Kailen guy a god or something?" He sighed, his thoughts mirroring that of several witnessing this, then blitzed through the air in a streak of lightning. A large hammer made of lightning appeared in his hand.
The hammer came down on the Aquamarine Herculean Crabs with overbearing might.
Their moment of disorientation was their downfall.
Zsrrrtth..
Brzzzzztsss.
The hammer cleaved through them with overbearing might, causing their bodies to turn into charred corpses. Their corpses fell on the ocean, floating atop the crimson waters.
Everyone in Central Command and the seashore where combat division operatives were, was silent.
As expected of a rank 1 intermediate stage Transcendent.
Principal Luther was so powerful.
But... Why did they feel like Kailen Darkhaven was the one who fought this battle?
It was because he was the one who engineered it from start to finish.
When did Tacticians become this terrifying?
