Re: Evolution Online - Chapter 999 Carefully Made Plans...?

After the initial shock and awe, Crimson Abyss quickly settled in the crowd. Even though they were still sticking out with all their glitter and glamor, making other people glance at them every now and then, at least this did not create any large-scale disturbance.

In the midst of this gathering, Rey quickly whispered to Alex. “Sis, they did not ask a single word about our legendary items.”

“Everything else can be purchased from the store, but even the dumbest of them should know that we somehow transferred the legendary items directly from the game.”

“If they really wanted to make us look bad, shouldn’t they have tried to rally everyone by talking about this?”

“Hmmm…” Alex silently nodded.

“This means that-” Rey began speaking, but Alex interrupted him.

“This means that they are definitely plotting to get rid of us during this war.” She spoke on his behalf, then unexpectedly broke into a smile.

“But, isn’t that why we are here? Heh. In fact, I can’t wait for them to start. My hands are itching.”

“He He.” Rey also chuckled and shook his head. He was usually more gentle than his sister, but in this particular matter, he absolutely agreed with her. Some people only learn when the lesson was taught the hard way.

After Crimson Abyss settled themselves amidst the rest of the army, there was no more unnecessary loose talk. The Generals conducted themselves with a proper military attitude and stuck to the topics related to the war.

First, the discussion about the terrain began. The current red zone they were tackling was in Africa, in the middle of a dense wilderness.

“Our scouting reports show that many of the plants here have become carnivorous, and we have to watch out for not only the insects but also these plants.”

“Unfortunately for us, the plants do not seem to want to consume these insects, so the two groups are not fighting with each other. This would have greatly reduced the burden for our army, but now we have to tackle both of these problems.”

“It is also important that the carnivorous plants have a huge weakness for fire-type attacks. Please make a note of this and act accordingly.”

“Apart from the plants, our scouts have also encountered dangerous Level 30 and above predators lurking in the area. These are postulated to be mutated beasts from the violet gates that appeared on earth on the first day of the apocalypse.”

“They were weaker back then. However, now they have grown to be stronger and have evolved. Some of them are also capable of using magic attacks. So be prepared to face these beasts as well.”

“Along with these threats, please be on the lookout for evolved birds in the territory. High-level dangerous beasts with flying abilities have also been sighted in the region.”

“On the brighter side, the numbers of these beasts and carnivorous plants are manageable, and this is also why we have assigned enough fighters for each battalion so that no one would be caught off guard.”

“We have already thoroughly scouted the area, and apart from the dangers listed here, there should not be any other surprises. Despite this, if any battalion encountered an unexpectedly strong enemy, please immediately use the red flares distributed to the group.”

“The General commanding the respective battalion would then take action and nullify the threat immediately.”

Heh. Alex chuckled quietly. “These people have really done some research. Or at least they are putting on a show that they have.”

“Everything so far looks legitimate.” Lan Deming also added.

As a person who had been training in military affairs for a long time now, he could see how everyone was handling things professionally, despite the small unnecessary outbreak at the beginning when they had first arrived here.

“They still haven’t talked about the main strategy. Let’s decide after that.” Alex shrugged. In her eyes, no matter what these fools do, her opinion of them was not going to change.

The moment they decided to entangle their personal vendetta when they were fighting a common enemy, a very strong one at that, they had lost all respect.

A true patriot would have set aside their differences and first focused on the enemy in front of them, especially if this enemy was capable of single-handedly destroying their planet.

Hmph. Alex scoffed and continued to listen to the General who dawdled on the strategy the government had picked out.

The strategy itself was not very complicated. The entire army was already divided into six battalions, and each had their leaders assigned. Apart from this, there was also a central elite army that was prepared for the stronger isons.

In the next hour, the six battalions would disperse and then reassemble at six positions surrounding the entire red zone.

When everyone was in position, the battle drums would sound, and the elite army would charge first. The six battalions would then charge after giving them a head start.

In this way, the elite army would be free to deal with the stronger isons, leaving behind the weaker ones for the other guilds to pick apart.

Also, the entire terrain would be covered at the same time, not leaving a single zone unexplored. This would ensure that the isons do not all swarm together in the same spot.

The big swarm that was overwhelming to deal with by any single guild would be easily split into six different parts and attacked simultaneously. Meanwhile, the elite army would deal with the bigger isons.

When more and more of the army is freed up after taking care of the weaker ones and culling down their numbers, then more people would be able to assist the elite army from the sidelines and provide them some additional support.

Moreover, these fighters would be stronger than their initial condition, so the support they provide would really make a difference.

Other than this, there were also several items prepared beforehand for the grand war, such as antidotes, medicine, food, and poison gas masks.

In terms of weapons, the United Nations guilds were once again quite generous in their distribution and had given away several military-grade weapons to various guilds.

There was also a battalion of civilian soldiers who would be dispatched at the end to assist the battalion that was taking the maximum damage and to help clean up the weaker isons faster.

Overall, the battle plan sounded quite solid. However, only Alex knew that this was never going to work out.

This was because she was pretty sure that the competent scouts that the United Nations guild used would never in a million years have found out the real terror that was hiding amidst the swarm of isons.

In fact, she herself had almost suffered a heart attack when she heard about this. Even she could have never guessed that the isons were this terrifying. If today went wrong, everyone here would be instantly wiped out. There was simply no way out.

But despite everything, the only reason she was still standing here and risking her life and numerous other lives was that one person.

This was also why she knew that today was going to be explosive, to say the least. History was going to be made, and things were going to change forever!
