Free Web NovelChapter 829: Chapter 829. Ambush?
Principal Luther was shocked.
"We really made the right choice making him the chief commander. Fortunately, I didn’t let my pride cloud my judgement. We would have messed up big time," he mused inwardly. freёwebnovel.com
He faced the holographic screen. Kailen was the only composed person in the Central Command conference room.
The other tacticians assisting him were even shocked.
"That’s to be expected," Luther muttered to himself.
"Our work here can be considered done, right?" he asked Kailen.
Kailen replied, "Yeah. You can go ahead and extract the blood and we will proceed from there. I need to contact the assassins and see how they are making use of the info provided by the Intelligence unit to their advantage. Sir, kindly try to extract the blood and vacate the oceans as soon as possible. After that, let’s hand over assassin division’s portion to them."
"Noted," the principal replied.
The holographic screen dimmed and disappeared.

The Central Command conference room was now quiet.
No one could say anything.
What they had just witnessed was unlike anything they had ever witnessed since they started their journeys as awakeners till now.
This man’s capabilities were too terrifying.
Not only was he a dangerous space principle transcendant, his tactical abilities were too terrifying.
Were they even needed in this room?
Kailen didn’t care about what they were thinking.
He broke the silence.
"Kindly connect to the Assassin Division on Red Tide Island."
"Roger." Someone hit something.
A view of a region of the Red Tide Island appeared.
A feminine figure was standing on top of a mountain. Her hair billowed through the wind.
A holographic image appeared before her.
"It took you a while to reach out," Morgana said.
"Duties," Kailen shrugged. "Status?"
"Right," Morgana replied. "Terrain is advantageous. What are your orders?"
"The blood of the Aquamarine Herculean Crabs are ready. The Combat division people will hand over your portion to you. Since the Intelligence Division members have accomplished their primary duties, they will partner with the Assassin’s Division," Kailen said. "Kindly proceed as we discussed when I give the signal." freēwebnovel.com
A glint flashed through Morgana’s eyes. Was this war going to end this quickly because of this plan The Mad Tactician had cooked up?
She could not wait to see it unfold.
"Alright," she said.
"The Intelligence unit has also reported that they’ve spotted an unusual spaceship outside the island. I’m thinking the royal family members are sensing something is off. They could even be planning on arriving here earlier to plan an ambush," Kailen said.
"They will most likely arrive here tonight or tomorrow morning. Let’s start to covertly move in all our troupes before their arrival. Kindly inform Principal Luther."
"Noted," Morgana replied.
This fellow was a natural-born Tactician. They had really made the right choice to make him chief commander.
The holographic screen dimmed and disappeared.

Venzula Empire.
Chrysanthemum city.
Several troupes marched out of the capital in spaceships, covertly headed towards Blood Tide Island.
In the leading spaceship was a beautiful female elf with a crown on her head, radiating an air of quiet grandeur and authority. She was clad in luxurious feminine robes. She was empress Venzula Huros.
Several powerhouses of the royal family were with her at a round table in this spaceship.
"Did you find their base of operations?" Venzula said.
"No, your grace. We checked all the possible locations. There was no result. We didn’t find anything or anyone there," the head of the Intelligence Division, Roman, a human with a lean compact build, said. He was the leader of the Roman Intelligence Agency, the second most powerful Intelligence Agency in the empire. Since the Axis Intelligence Agency shockingly chose to side with the academy, the Roman Intelligence Agency took advantage of the situation to get into the good graces of the Royal Family, confident the royal family would secure victory.
"Seriously. Just who is in charge of their tactical unit?" Roman sighed.
"Who do you think it could be, Boyrvora?" Venzula said.
Boyrvora, a witch, sighed. She was the leader of the Tactical Division of the royal family.
"I think it’s that guy we tried to kill," she said.
Everyone wanted to know what the empress was thinking.
Was Boyrvora right or wrong?
"Indeed. Based on his tactical feats in the light region, he’s the most likely candidate. Also, making him the tactical unit head is definitely a way of hiding him from us so that we don’t get to kill him," the empress said.
"Had the crown prince gotten rid of him, he would not be causing us such a headache. But, this war was bound to happen eventually. He just happened to give us a solid reason to move against the academy by killing the crown prince."
She sighed. "I don’t know where he could be hiding. There’s no way they are outside the Tesla Domain. That’s impossible. They are not that stupid to go there. That place is teeming with dreadful chaotic beasts that will kill him and those part of the central command he’s in charge of.
"He must be hiding in another empire’s territory. But, considering that he has a group of powerful transcendants with him in another empire’s territory, it’s only a matter of time before he’s suspected of trying to cause trouble in another empire’s territory and get killed. As for the war, our victory is assured.
"After all, I’m not the only person who has broken into the rank 1 intermediate stage Transcendent level." Everyone nodded and looked at the leader of the Venzula National Bank, a cat looking Demihuman with a buff build. He nodded.
Everyone nodded confidently towards him, then turned to look at the head of Venzula Law enforcement agency too. She was from the naga race. She was also now a rank 1 intermediate stage Transcendent, just like the head of the Venzula National Bank, and the empress.
The royal family had hidden the information on their breakthrough strictly from the Academy. This was to make the academy miscalculate and make plans only for the empress.
Discussions spread through the place.
"The academy only has one rank 1 intermediate stage Transcendent, the principal. We have three."
"These fellows won’t know what’s coming."
"Haha... fuckers."
The empress raised her hand up.
Everyone stopped talking.
"Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We may be confident, but we don’t know what they have up their sleeves," she said. "They may have trump cards we don’t know of. This is why we are heading to Red Tide Island before them to set up an ambush. If they don’t have any trump cards, our plan will work. If they have trump cards, we can ambush them and kill them all. Also, this war should be streamed live for everyone in the empire to watch. It’s time we reminded everyone in the empire that the royal family cannot be messed with."
Everyone nodded at her words, glints of anticipation flashing through their eyes.
