Chapter 1227 (2/2)

Soul missiles had already been invented over 10,000 years ago, and following the last 10,000 years of development, the modern soul missiles had all improved significantly in power, range, variety, and functions. Not only could they be accurately controlled and strike targets a long distance away, there was also a lot of diversity among the missiles. There were radar signal jamming missiles, missiles purely for destruction, missiles that targeted large areas, as well as missiles that specifically targeted life forms or buildings, and that was only the tip of the iceberg.

Compared to over 10,000 years ago, soul missiles of the same grade had become several times more powerful. There were currently no longer any soul missiles that were below the fourth grade, so all soul missiles were regarded as the most important resources by the federation, which meant that they were also subjected to the strictest management.

”Can you wish for something good to happen? Why would this stuff suddenly explode? Less talking, and more driving! The sooner we get these hot potatoes into the storage units, the better. The soul missiles contained in these 20 vehicles are enough to equip quite a few black wars.h.i.+ps.”

The lieutenant colonel paid no heed to the senior colonel's words. ”I was just raising a hypothetical situation. Come to think of it, back when Shrek City was bombed, just two soul missiles had been enough to rase the entire city to the ground! That's downright unimaginable to me. Aren't G.o.dslayer missiles supposed to kept under the highest level of security? How could they have been stolen? This is...”

”Shut up!” the senior colonel suddenly yelled, ”Is this something that you should be asking? Shut up and drive!”

The two stolen G.o.dslayer missiles had always been a taboo topic in the federal military, even to this very day, and the military still hadn't been able to release a proper explanation to the general public.

The Shrek City bombing was also around the time when the Eagle Faction began its rise to power, and during these past two years, the military had developed and expanded at a drastic rate, with much more money being poured into the military than in the past. Sure enough, the Holy Spirit Cult had kept a low profile ever since, but as for how the two G.o.dslayer missiles had been stolen, there were still no decisive conclusions.

At the very least, the federal parliament took full responsibility and underwent a complete reform, but who were the actual perpetrators involved, and where were they right now?

The new federal parliament had stated that they were going to launch an exhaustive investigation, but there were still no results.

There were many people like the lieutenant colonel who had doubts in their hearts, but this was a strictly taboo topic in the military.

”There are many things that we shouldn't know,” the senior colonel as he continued, ”And the less you know, the better. That was not just a terrorist attack; there were definitely political elements involved as well. That's all I'll say on the matter; the rest is not for us to speculate about. How much longer until we reach the base?”

”We still have over 300 kilometers to travel, and at our current speed, it'll take around three and a half more hours to reach our destination.” The vehicles were simply too heavy to be driven too quickly, and he could only maintain a consistent and even speed.

”Alright, we need to focus on the final stretch of this journey. Transporting such important military resources will look very good on your resume.”

”Alright.”

The lieutenant colonel fell silent and focused on driving, while the senior colonel focused his attention on the screens before him. He was the only one in the convoy who was aware that aside from a large number of regulation fourth to sixth-grade missiles, the convoy was also carrying three ninth-grade soul missiles that were to be equipped to red aircraft carriers, as well as over 30 seventh-grade and eighth-grade soul missiles.

Aside from the mecha battalion in the air above, there was at least a squadron of fighter aircrafts accompanying the convoy at even higher alt.i.tudes. That was a group of at least 36 battle aircrafts, and it was sufficient testament to just how important this batch of military resources was.

Perhaps there were also some secret resources that they were carrying that even a senior colonel like him didn't have the right to know about. As such, all he wanted was to get to their destination safely, and as quickly as possible.

But then again, with so many fighter aircrafts and mechas in accompaniment, there most likely wouldn't be any issues. After all, this was the power of the military.

The distance of over 300 kilometers that they still had to travel before reaching Skysea City seemed to be very long, but to these fighter aircrafts that were capable of breaking the sound barrier, it would only take them a few minutes to reach the city.
