All eyes turned toward Isaac, who extinguished his cigarette and smiled, saying, “I think Lupinus is right. Each of the generals of the seven armies needs to hold their ground, and not a single one should be missing…”
“Dragon One, Dragon Five, Dragon Seven, do you have any objections?”
“We’ll follow all arrangements made by Drakon,” the three responded in unison.
Isaac raised his hand and slapped the table. He stood up and declared, “Alright, that’s settled, then. Leave five thousand Dusk Soldiers for me. The rest of you discuss and coordinate the deployment plan. By lunchtime, I want a plan from each of you. All of you must be back in your respective positions before 3:00 pm…”
“After nightfall, I will instruct Black Phoenix to spread the news. Three days from now, we will reclaim the three uranium mines.”
Lupinus stared wide-eyed. “Drakon, isn’t this equivalent to telling the enemy that we’re coming?”
“Yeah, Drakon, revealing our movements has always been a taboo in military strategy,” Willis exclaimed passionately.
Isaac snorted and turned his head, saying, “Why did the Brewer clan choose to find Elliot when I entered the secret realm? What strength do they have to establish contact with the major general of Darkit? Are we sure the Kingdom of Aquila is not behind all this?”
Isaac sighed heavily. “We’ve only enjoyed peace for a while, and now they’re starting to stir trouble again… In this battle, at least three or four pairs of eyes are watching us. If we’re going to fight, let’s make them all shudder!”
With a determined proclamation, Isaac took a step and walked outside.
His final words resonated like a sudden thunderclap, lingering in everyone’s ears for a long time.
Todd stood up, his face full of excitement. “Damn, it feels amazing! Isn’t the Kingdom of Aquila very powerful? Those guys are getting involved, too?”
“Anyone who wants to give up their general title? Do you think I’m capable of being one? Should I discuss with Isaac and create ‘generals of the eight armies’?”
“We’re having a roasted whole lamb tonight. Todd, go find a lamb and slaughter it,” came Isaac’s voice from outside the tent.
The people inside were momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
“Damn, do you see me as just a butcher?!” Todd grumbled as favonovel.com walked out.
At noon, the Temple of Drakon team handed over the adjusted plan to Isaac. After a glance, favonovel.com found the allocations to be reasonable.
After signing the documents, the plan was officially put into motion.
At 3:00 pm, all the Temple of Drakon soldiers were divided into eight formations. A high platform had been erected at the forefront, and the generals stood at the front of their respective troops.
Isaac ascended the platform, announcing the promotion of Dragon One and the other two as the newest generals and presenting them with general order.
***
After dark, a piece of information unofficially made its way to Kellan.
In the study of the major general’s residence, Kellan stood in front of his desk, gripping the phone with a solemn expression. “Is this information reliable? Are those rebels really planning to reclaim the uranium mines three days from now?”
“General Kellan, the information comes from within the House of Custos. It’s undeniably valid.”
After hanging up the phone, Kellan shouted angrily outside the door, “Bring Zeppelin to me immediately!”
An hour later, Zeppelin hastily entered the study and nodded deeply to Kellan. “Did you summon me?”
“The Temple of Drakon will attempt to seize the three uranium mines in three days. The information is reliable, Zeppelin. You must understand that these mines are highly valued by Lord Paramount. We’ve only just acquired them and can’t afford to let Cynea disrupt…” Kellan explained the situation.
“Please, General Kellan, rest assured. I will personally go to the front line to protect the mines. As soon as the Temple of Drakon arrives, I will make sure they know the ferocity and resilience of the Darkit Army!”
“They need to understand that Darkit is an absolute force that can’t be messed with!” Zeppelin declared with confidence, saluting Kellan.
