Chapter 2774 Defenders of the Galaxy
A plot is under way. I can smell it.
Before Black Hawk had managed to say a word, a scout emerged with the results of their
investigation.
“The weapons are of Diviniterian origin! We had just gotten word! The weapons that had
attacked us are from Diviniteria! The guns are arranged in a row to be fired upon us! They
must be testing the waters before a large-scale attack. What do we do, Sir?”
Every eye in the room fell on Smythe and the other high-ranking officials to await their
verdict.
Smythe became even more certain of the existence of a ploy as the enemy forces had
contented themselves with an ambush instead of a large-scale attack.
Diviniteria must be afraid to aggravate the relations between them and Zarain as it would
be costly if Zarain were to take up arms against them alongside the World Alliance.
As Smythe and the other officials discussed matters in low, urgent whispers, every one of
them wore the same grim look.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, they departed the command center in a group to confer with their superiors.
At that moment, Black Hawk received a message from Levi that unnerved him.
Levi had ascertained Black Hawk’s exact location. He even knew where in the command
center the latter was standing.
Black Hawk hurriedly made an excuse to leave the room to reply to the text message in a
secluded corner.
Levi’s order was clear. Black Hawk was to instigate the Zarain army to go into battle by
alerting the Zarain officials to the appearance of Sacroria, the true mastermind behind the
Lab of Gods.
Coincidentally, Levi’s instructions aligned with Black Hawk’s opinion of the necessity of
Zarain’s immediate participation in the war regardless of who their foe was.
It doesn’t matter as long as Zarain remains the last one standing! Now that both sides are
already engaged in battle, it doesn’t matter how powerful the Zarain army is, now is as
good a time as any to join in.
Black Hawk was a smart man. Despite his appearance of being Levi’s puppet, he only
agreed to do so because his own interest in controlling the situation to become its
greatest benefactor happened to align with Levi’s instructions.
Seizing the opportunity, he hastened back to the command center.
“It was Diviniteria!” he shouted. “I thought that the destruction of our coastal defense had
been an instigation, but we’ve seen how the World Alliance couldn’t even handle
themselves, how would they have the resources to attack us? The reason for Diviniteria’s
attack on us is…”
Even Smythe and company returned hurriedly at Black Hawk’s proclamation. “What’s the
reason?” they urged.
“The actual mastermind behind the Lab of Gods, Sacroria has finally revealed themselves!
With the support of their leader, Diviniteria will have nothing left to fear to launch an all-
out attack against the entire world. The attack they carried out against our coastal regions
earlier was merely to test out their firepower and resistance! I vote we go to war!”
Black Hawk hesitated slightly as he did not know whether invoking Sacroria’s name would
gain Smythe’s approval.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI certainly hope so! Only then could my goal to gain control of all three forces proceed!
Smythe and the other officials gaped at him in surprise. “You’ve managed to learn of
Sacroria’s movements? Are you certain that they would show themselves?”
“Affirmative, Sir,” Black Hawk concurred as he averted his gaze ever so subtly. “That is
how I have eliminated the possibility of an instigation.”
“Very good!” Niel exclaimed. “If that’s the case, relay the order to the troops that the
Defenders of the Galaxy will launch a retaliation against Diviniteria!”
The Defenders of the Galaxy comprised Zarain’s elite with the addition of forces provided
by other nations via treaties and alliances over the years.
The ruthless ambition embodied by the group to commit to their objective could be seen
in their name alone.
Black Hawk was flabbergasted at the speed with which the decision was made without
even consulting the higher-ups of Zarain just by the mere mention of Sacroria’s
appearance.
Suddenly, even the recent consultation Smythe had that was awaiting confirmation was
no longer needed.
Everything has changed, just because Sacroria is coming.
