Chapter 1051: Decision - Part 2

Marshal Alton clapped his hand once he heard everyone\'s opinion for their next move. Everyone in the room agreed to the war against the Divine Church.         

Zhang Mengyao wanted to object, but she had nothing to say. She could not bring any advantage to the army. While she might be the Supreme Commander, she lacked experience compared to Marshal Alton. She was not the strongest individual here, but Marshal Alton and Vice Marshal Moonsong were. Strategy? She lacked the experience of war, let alone coming up with a strategy.     

On top of all of that, Marshal Alton was right. The Tang Empire lost its leader, the emperor. The empire needed someone to assume the position temporarily until the next emperor was chosen. The news of the emperor\'s fall might bring additional chaos.     

"Do you agree, Supreme Commander Zhang?" Marshal Alton asked for her decision.     

"Yes, I agree. I will return to earth with Division Head Kang Xue." Kang Xue let out a sigh. She really wanted to join the fight, but her role in the empire was too important for her to ignore the potential trouble that might happen to the empire.     

"Good. We can be at ease with Supreme Commander Zhang taking over the command of our home." Marshal Alton led the conversation to the next topic, strategy. How they should fight the Divine Church. "I agree with Vice Marshal Moonsong\'s idea" The old man pointed his finger at Chief Moon. "I want to avoid the frontal battle as much as we can. That way, we can control the flow of the battle and avoid the casualties."     

The meeting continued, and it ended an hour later. Zhang Mengyao and Kang Xue retreated to the earth while a big flock of Tarriors entered the Dimensional Tower. The big movement surprised the other factions. Some factions tried to find out what happened, but everything was tight-lipped.

Saintess Marisha sat behind her table, reading the movement report from his subordinates. She was at ease after receiving the report that the Tang Empire\'s emperor had died. She became increasingly worried after a squad of Executioner Knights failed to kill Tang Shaoyang. One of the biggest threats for the eleventh floor disappeared, and her only concern was now the federation.     

Marisha put the report in her hand and read the new one. She furrowed her brow after skimming over the report in her hand. "It\'s another late return from the squad that scouts the new area. This is the sixth squad…." She muttered in a low voice.     

She then glanced over at the piling report on her left and took all of them. She skimmed over ten reports, and all of them were the same. Returning late was a normal occurrence for scouting duty, but if everyone returned late, that meant there was something wrong.     

"Is there someone outside?"     

Someone opened the door as a maid entered the room and bowed. "Yes, Saintess."     

"Call Captain Ruben for me. Tell him it\'s an emergency!"     

"Yes, Saintess." The maid bowed once more before leaving the room.     

Saintess Marisha was kinda annoyed that none of her subordinates noticed the fishy situation happening within the scout teams. It was clear that something had happened, and they needed to send the strongest squad to find out the real situation.     

"Everyone is so useless. Can\'t they use their heads a little bit?" She expressed his annoyance as she tried to read the report in detail.

Toward the west of the starter city, far to the west     

Lu An wiped the blood from his sword before sheathing the sword back. Right before him, five white-clothed individuals bathed in blood with their heads separated from their bodies. He then glanced to the back. There was another pile of bodies with the same attire. Their heads were also separated from their bodies.     

The white-clothed was the scout team from the Divine Church. Each of the scout teams was followed by three individuals from the Intelligent Division. Thanks to his anticipation, they managed to track them one by one and killed them all.     

"Collect the heads!" Lu An ordered his subordinates before looking at his two assistants, Viona and Yeon Hee. "How far is the next group from our location?"     

Marshal Alton\'s strategy was quite simple. They just needed to eliminate all of Divine Church\'s forces outside the city, reducing their numbers before the final confrontation. The one Lu An\'s team just killed was the seventh group, tallying the number to a hundred and forty people. Each group comprised twenty scouts.     

"The next group is twenty minutes away from our current location to the north. However, there is an error with our calculation. We missed the timing to intercept the big group. Should we chase the big group, or should we continue with the most effective path?" Yeon Hee furrowed her brows as she read the message relayed by the three individuals who followed the big group from the Divine Church.         

"There\'s no need. Send the message to Sir Alton. We will leave the missing fishes to Sir Alton and Sir Moonsong!" Lu An waved his hand.

Marshal Alton scratched his nose, ignoring the question from the leader of the Holy Knight. "The leader is Ancient Rank, Five Epic Ranks." Those were the ranks of the notable figures in the group. The old man turned toward Chief Moon. "People start to gather. I want to avoid the big confrontation for now. We should finish this quickly."     

"On your mark, Sir Alton." Moonsong nodded.
