Planet Crimson Ring…
“…”
Admiral Nathan was as quiet as a mouse, so also was Admiral Zhao.
Like all the others, no matter how close he was to them, Legolas refused to tell anyone about his plans and what would happen in the future.
He had to maintain his persona of a true seer that he spent so much effort in building, he had to solidify the truth that he crafted to them that looking into fate took a lot of effort and sacrifices from him.
This was why he revealed information about the future only when necessary for maximum dramatic effect and this moment was no different.
‘Legolas!’
‘Legolas…!’ Admiral Zhao could only call this Summoner’s name in his head; he was too stunned to speak or react.
Despite his shock though, he still remembered his mission at this moment.
He did his best to stay focused and keenly observe Admiral Nathan’s reaction.
Admiral Nathan was the one suffering the most from all these reveals.
It was like sleeping only to find yourself in a nightmare, then striving to wake up from it only to find yourself in another nightmare, striving to wake up again only to find yourself in another nightmare, and another, and another again.
The shock and experience were traumatizing.
At this moment, Admiral Nathan was traumatized.
So many thoughts went through his head that he felt that his head would blow up any moment, he was sincerely scared now.
‘How is Legolas real?’
‘Is he truly a human?’
‘I’ve heard about seers but never any one like him…’
‘No wonder he was able to match the Soul Emperor’s record, Legolas is simply one of those once in countless lifetime geniuses’.
At this moment, this Admiral was panicking. ‘How should I react to this?’
‘Legolas cannot be left unchecked, the Beast King needs to know but…,’ His eyebrows furrowed in worry. ‘I already pushed my luck to contact them twice this month alone, I have no doubts that I’m currently being watched’.
‘Besides, President Dunk is not foolish’.
‘I’ve been serving under him for years now and without a doubt, I believe he already suspects that there is a traitor though he refuses to believe it’.
‘Legolas could have decided to reveal all this to only President Dunk and Fleet Admiral Elyon to make a plan but no…, they revealed it to all the higher-ups’.
His eyes narrowed. ‘This smells like a trap’.
‘If I contact them now, I’m 100% certain that I’ll be caught’.
‘But they need to know…,’ This Admiral was worried, he fell into a dilemma that lasted a long time in his mind that was already on overdrive.
In reality, it didn’t last too long though, Admiral Nathan made his decision.
‘I can’t risk my cover’.
‘Remaining a spy is more important than anything’.
‘I may be able to tell them but once they know that their plan is leaked, they can simply tweak it and who knows? Legolas may have another plan’.
‘I can’t risk it’.
‘I believe the Beast King and the others will be able to cope, at least they’ll survive, I should be the last card of the Beast King’.
‘With me in here, even if we’re losing the war, we can mount a last-minute twist and counterattack to completely demolish their forces’.
Admiral Nathan’s face finally recovered and like nothing happened, he paid attention to Champion Onana whose breakthrough was close to being done.
Admiral Zhao was calm like nothing happened but he noticed everything.
From when Admiral Nathan’s eyebrows furrowed, to the wrinkling skin on his face, to the tiny sweat that gathered on his forehead at times, he observed everything and he was able to read meaning to them all.
Like Admiral Nathan, he also focused on Champion Onana.
In his mind though, he knew that things were about to go down.
…
Planet Nak, the underground bunker… 𝗈𝐕𝑳xt.𝚌𝒐𝕞
Legolas dropped the book back on the table and looked at his guests.
“And these are the Beasts Priests of the Beast Coalition”.
“…”
“…”
“…..”
No one could say a word.
They were too stunned to speak.
It took more than 10 seconds before anyone could speak and it was Fleet Warlord Elyon. “1,2,3,4,5…, 5 Upper Beast Priests”.
“1,2,3,4,5,6…, 10…, 17 normal Beast Priests”.
“And the Beast King”.
Fleet Warlord Elyon looked at Legolas again and for the first time, his face showed genuine respect and awe. “You are a true seer”.
“I finally understand why President Dunk holds you in such high esteem”.
Chief Admiral Gregory stood up. “1 plus 17 plus 5, that’s 23 Calamity Grade Beasts to deal with…,” This Admiral’s face turned solemn. “That is far more than anything we ever estimated of the Beast Coalition”.
“I can’t believe we still underestimated them”. Admiral Skriniac muttered.
President Dunk finally spoke, his eyes fixated on Legolas. “Is that all?”
“Yes, Mr. President”.
“With this, I believe I’ve done more than enough to aid in the war between the Nak State, Ackermann State and the Beast Coalition”.
“With this book, you can plan the finer details of the war adequately to properly target the high-end powerhouses of the Beast Coalition”.
“Once they’re nullified successfully, the war is more or less won already”.
President Dunk nodded solemnly. “Thank you, Legolas”.
“Without you, dealing with the Beast Coalition would have taken far more effort and sacrifices on our part”.
“Once this war is over, you shall receive your due honor”.
Legolas only smiled without saying anything.
Well, that was all that they needed.
The war plan kickstarted.
Chief Admiral Gregory looked at Legolas. “How long will it take for you to override the node of the Shelter Priest to enable our invasion?”
“1 week maximum”.
“Good”. This Chief Admiral nodded. “That is enough time for us to finetune our war military strategy and adequately prepare for this war”.
The Chief Admiral looked at everyone present. “I hope you all are ready”.
They all nodded solemnly.
“In a week, we’ll be going to fight for the fate of our states”.
With that, this gathering finally came to an end.
And with its end, all attention returned to Planet Crimson Ring where the newest Calamity Grade warrior of Nak State was almost done with his breakthrough.
