BXBX NOVEL Chapter 467 - Mission
Three days later, Sofia and Roselyn had finished their assessment and returned with their own proof as one of the S Rank Magicians.
Sofia didn\'t really release all her power to make Roselyn stand out more. After all, if she was known to be stronger, the Union might not let her go.
But with them knowing Roselyn was stronger and could defeat Jules and Arnaud, they would place more importance on Roselyn, not caring if Sofia would leave this place or not.
The only doubt in this scenario would be their attitude to Kai. Because their memories were removed, none of them knew Kai\'s real strength. They simply knew Kai was strong, but they didn\'t know how much stronger he had become.
Due to this unknown threat, they decided to leave Kai in Rose\'s hand again while handing one mission. This was also part of the agreement with the US Base. And they planned to use Kai to the fullest to expand their territory.
When Sofia and Roselyn returned to the school, Roselyn asked for a meeting with Kai.
They decided to do it in Kai and Sofia\'s room. Before the meeting started, Roselyn activated his device and showed him a map.
This took Sofia by surprise while Kai frowned. "It seems they are indeed planning to work me to the bone…"
Roselyn made a weird expression, knowing Kai must have predicted what kind of mission they would receive. After all, the map she showed earlier was a map covering Poland, Ukraine, Moscow, and Finland, creating a giant square.
"So, what is the mission?" Kai asked. "If I\'m not wrong, you have taken over Belarus… So, you are not planning to say we are going to Moscow, right?"
Roselyn gulped down and looked away.
"As expected…" Kai let out a long sigh and asked, "Why not Ukraine?"
"Let me explain the whole situation first." Roselyn stroked her cheek with her finger gently while making a forced smile.
"Sure." Kai nodded.
"After taking over Belarus and Filandia—"
Before she finished, Kai already understood their goal. "I see. You want to attack Lituania, Latvia, and Estonia."
Roselyn was speechless before remembering Kai was a genius in warfare. She simply nodded her head without talking back. "Our front, Belarus, is surrounded in three directions. In the south, we need to face so many magical beasts from Ukraine. Then, there is Moscow, which is basically the main threat. Lastly, the north… Lithuania and Latvia.
"Many of our soldiers remained in Finland, so they had enough confidence to break through Saint Petersburg and attack Estonia. Then, according to the mission, there will be a huge shift in Belarus. Instead of taking three fronts, they will move fifty percent of their force to stop any threat from Ukraine.
"Twenty percent of the soldiers will back you up in the mission, which is to destroy all the threats coming from Moscow. The remaining soldiers will join the soldiers from Poland to hit Lituania before making their way to Latvia.
"And our specific mission is to stop all magical beasts from Moscow before making our way to Latvia to prevent any beasts from interrupting us when we attack Lithuania and Estonia."
Kai sighed. "You are asking too much. How many monsters do you think we need to handle in Moscow?"
"That…" Roselyn also understood the difficulty of this mission. "I will be the commanding officer in this mission, meaning you can order me as you like and use the soldiers as you see fit."
"Roselyn." Kai shook his head. "I\'m sure you know this is not a matter that a few thousand soldiers can handle, right?"
"I know." Roselyn sighed.
"I have one demand."
"May I know what it is?"
"I won\'t accept this mission unless there is another S Rank Magician handling all those soldiers. You, I, and Sofia will go to Moscow to wreak havoc there without thinking about the defense in Belarus."
Roselyn widened her eyes, never expecting Kai to accept.
"If it were the past me, I wouldn\'t accept it because I heard Moscow is extremely dangerous. But you and Sofia have gotten stronger, so I won\'t mind accepting it as long as they fulfill my own demand." Kai narrowed his eyes.
"I understand. I will convince them… No, I will force them to agree with your decision." Roselyn nodded with a serious expression.
"Then, give me the information about Moscow."
Roselyn then showed another map. There were many red dots in Moscow as she said, "There are at least one thousand A Rank magical beasts in Moscow right now. But the most dangerous ones are thirteen Intelligent Beasts among them. Ten of them are near our border."
Kai nodded. "We can kill them one by one, but I\'m not sure whether they are in contact or not. You should take another look at their positions."
Roselyn frowned and turned around, looking at the red dots shown on the map.
"Focus on the ones near Latvia."
Roselyn nodded and focused on four beasts near Latvia before she saw the bigger picture. "Wait… This…"
"Yeah. This kind of formation, they are luring us." Kai nodded. "The moment we enter Moscow, they will force all the Magical Beasts in Ukraine to go to hit Belarus to devastate them. We won\'t have any reinforcement. Then with this kind of formation, they will be able to send reinforcement to surround us, especially from Latvia.
"In other words, they truly want us to hit Moscow first before going to Latvia. And this deliberate plan…" Kai closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. "There must be a very intelligent one. I\'m suspecting that US Base\'s enemy is among them to arrange everything. They are literally trying to kill me."
Sofia squinted her eyes before getting worried about this mission. Even Roselyn started doubting herself, wondering if it was a good idea to proceed with this mission."
"Even so, I\'m curious what they have for me. I don\'t think we will see many of them… Probably one or two. I can handle one, but you and Sofia will fight the other one for me." Kai smiled. "That\'s why I want one S Rank Magician in this mission to manage the defense since I can\'t predict what will happen in this mission."
Roselyn nodded seriously, taking note of what Kai said.
"Do you have anything to say about the mission or the plan?"
"Nope. Since they\'re trying to work me to the bone, I\'m going to stay at least one and a half months in this one mission alone. Three weeks in Moscow and the other three weeks in Latvia. Still, this feels weird." Kai let out a long sigh.
"What do you mean?" Roselyn frowned.
"The plans make it look like I\'m being targeted…" Kai narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is there a spy from those guys within the Union?"
"!!!" Roselyn widened her eyes in surprise. She certainly didn\'t expect Kai to doubt the Union. This wasn\'t as simple as Union working him to the bone, it was more like the Union sent him to his death. If Kai actually publicized the reason and his disappointment, the citizens would have lost their trust in the Union. "I don\'t know… I can pass this message to Sir Arnaud."
Kai nodded. "Sure. Anyway, there is no change of plan. We will go to Moscow and kill the Intelligent magical beasts while murdering a few thousand beasts on our way. Then, we will hit Latvia and wreak havoc in that place."
"I understand."
"When do we leave?" Kai asked and tried to calculate the battle plan.
"In two days."
"What is the number of soldiers that will defend Belarus from Moscow?"
"There are forty thousand soldiers. But all the elites from schools who have equipped the exoskeleton won\'t be there, so we can\'t count on them."
Kai contemplated for a moment and nodded. "I think that\'s good enough. This mission will be more dangerous than the one we had a few days ago, you know."
Roselyn nodded with a serious expression. "I have prepared myself. Since you have given me the opportunity to become an S Rank Magician, I should repay you as much as possible even if you think it\'s fine."
"Suit yourself." Kai shrugged, knowing Roselyn wouldn\'t budge in this matter. He then turned to Sofia, "Are you going with me?"
"You are still asking that question?" Sofia tilted her head in confusion.
"It\'s your hometown after all." Kai shook his head with a smile.
"You have included me in your plan this whole time and you\'re asking me that question now? Don\'t you dare to leave me out of this mission…" Sofia pouted. "Besides, I\'m curious as to how strong I have become. This is a perfect mission to see the extent of my strength."
Kai nodded and looked at Roselyn. "That\'s all. I will leave the rest to you."
"Yes. I will handle everything perfectly." Roselyn nodded with a serious expression while bringing the device back with her, walking to the door and opening it. "Good night."
"Yeah, good night. Rest well." Kai waved his hand.
Roselyn then left the room with a serious expression. In front of Kai\'s door, Roselyn closed her eyes and leaned to the door with a tired expression. The pressure she received from Kai was indeed extraordinary.
It wasn\'t the aura of a fighter or veteran. It was a simple aura from a General that ordered the soldiers to fight with their lives on the line while minimizing their casualties. If Kai actually used the soldiers to the front line, he would surely become a good commander that could devastate the magical beasts. But Kai chose to go with only her and Sofia to avoid any unnecessary casualties.
\'So, this is General Kai… No wonder he has become a General this young… Lieutenant General.\' Roselyn thought before taking out her device. Arnaud\'s name was on the screen as she pushed the call button.
"Hello, Sir Arnaud."
