Chapter 275
“These Kamen people are quite hostile to visitors and while you were away, we sent a few envoys but none returned as such we have no choice but to retaliate with force...” Jalic Gale said the last part with a bitter smile.
“You guys can’t fight underwater, leaving only seed pilots to do the job but they are limited” Alex said with a frown.
The others in the room nodded with stern faces. The location of the battlefield was different and not many would survive there.
“The Kamen race are primitive and lack advanced equipment.. to be honest just a squad of Earl class seed pilots would wreak havoc in their lands but the problem is the location... their control over the location is so vast and strong even the alliance gave up on taking them on... they even sunk a carrier ship alongside the thousands of soldiers in it” Sharyn said and everyone eyes widened in shock
At first, when she started speaking these people didn’t think much of it. But the more she spoke the more they couldn’t help but pay attention. Everything she said could be considered a piece of vital information.
“So how do you suggest we deal with it?” Riviz suddenly asked with a thoughtful look on his face.
The difference between other races and the human race was the deviant abilities. Humans have diversified abilities and powerful abilities. The seeds are nice since they could allow one to manifest their abilities through their mechs but other mechas may not be the same.
“You humans are special and powerful. Alongside the team of seed pilots, I suggest you all seated here use the combat suits, Z series! With its adaptive qualities, you should be able to deal with the problem of oxygen and water pressure while using your abilities” Sharyn said thoughtfully and everyone nodded slowly. The plan sounded feasible at least so it was worth the try.
.....
As Alex said, the lady was quite useful.
“That won’t be enough. Or at least, I prefer not to take chances” Alex suddenly spoke up with a frown on his face drawing everyone’s attention.
“Don’t forget that this is an entire planet we are fighting against. Not just one kingdom or just an empire. Billions of people prepared to die for their world. I wish to know right now... what is the goal of this operation?” Alex asked with a deep frown
.
Hearing him, everyone couldn’t help but frown. When Alex spoke about the population he was trying to point out that they would be greatly outnumbered, making their plan almost difficult to carry out. Also, the last question meant two things.
The first was that if they were to go through with this plan of attack they should be prepared to wipe out the entire population of that planet in a decisive battle. Such large scale murder is not something they should be willing to partake in.
The second was simply him trying to state that, if the first option was not their intention, then they should find a way to minimize bloodshed.
Kill only when necessary!
“Wow! Silver was right, you have changed” Damon Briggs said with a hint of surprise in his voice causing everyone to laugh while Alex frowned.
Although he was pissed he couldn’t blame them. He didn’t have a history of being kind so seeing him act this way was totally new to both him and these people.
Did he really change?
That question filled his mind, making him feel a bit agitated. He turned to the side and looked at Sharyn who was gazing at him strangely. He began wondering if this lady was really toying with him or if this was her way of showing her support.
“We have already tried to contact them peacefully, yet they keep showing aggression towards us... Those we sent, never returned so I suggest we use force!” Elder Tyron said with killing lights flashing in his eyes.
Hearing this, Alex frowned and leaned back. While he pondered, everyone remained silent and dared not to speak. In the end, he was the one in charge of all the operations taking place here, he was the crownless king of this small group.
“The consequences of fighting would be far too much... this may all be a misunderstanding... If you were a country who have lived in seclusion from the rest of the universe for years now, wouldn’t it be strange if mighty seeds appear in the skies, claiming to come in peace?” Alex asked and everywhere fell silent.
Thinking about it, it is almost impossible for someone to see the mighty seed and not feel threatened. Imagine a situation where a less developed race sees something as powerful as the seed, even they would feel threatened and be compelled to attack first.
“We can’t risk losing more seeds... we barely have over two hundred pilots” Jalic Gale said with a dejected look but Alex chuckled slightly and waved his hand in dismissal.
“You don’t have to worry, I will be the one going in alone this time, I would like to see how they plan to reject me” Alex said with a smile as he leaned back and rested his chin on his fist.
Buzzz!
His words sent chills down everyone’s spine. The hidden message behind Alex’s words couldn’t be any clearer. He wanted them to see the real power behind the force reaching out to them and if they decline his offer again, the war would start there and then with him and end with him!
“Scout the other possible planets and reach out to them. We have members of the culture who are not inferior when compared to me, so there is no reason to limit ourselves to one planet at a time... Get it done fast, I will be leaving as soon as possible.” Alex said with a sigh as he stood up but someone held his hand.
