Chapter 237: Talking about Mysterious Monuments (2/2)
”There is something still I can't understand.” Michelle scratched her head in frustration. ”The other two were constructed a few thousand years ago while the statues from Easter Island were built around a thousand years ago. I think there is less chance for this to be something extraordinary.”
”It's normal to see it that way. Now that we live in the 24th century, it's hard to believe such a thing. But I want to tell you that the Earth is more mysterious than we thought.” Kai used Ria's line to convince Michelle.
She contemplated for a moment and looked at the information about Moai. ”Moais are human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people on Easter Island between the years 1250 and 1500.
”Well, there is a theory here saying that these statues are symbols of authority and power, both religious and political. To the people who erected them and used them, they were actual repositories of sacred spirit and believed to be charged by a magical spiritual essence called mana.
”These statues were a representation of the ancient Polynesians' ancestors. Thus, there might be something hidden in these statues.” Michelle furrowed her eyebrows.
”Well, rather than discussing the theory behind it, it's best to prepare to see it with your own eyes.” Kai shrugged. ”If something like this is real, it will open many opportunities for us because we might reach closer to the truth as to how animals turned into magical beasts and why magic power started to appear on Earth.”
”Fair enough.” Michelle nodded.
”This might be something different than any other things we have encountered.” Ayaka clasped her hand and smirked. ”If there is really a mystery on the island, we might also fight something hidden there. So, I think we should proceed with caution.”
Kai and the others agreed to her.
”Anyway, let's wrap it for now. I only want to inform you about this and don't want to talk too deep. After all, I need to do some planning for the upcoming raid mission.” Kai sighed, brushing off the matter. ”Evan. Go to the Eagle Group and tell them about the mission.”
”Eh? Why me?” Evan seemed to be reluctant to do it. Whether it was because of his relationship with Isabelle or another thing, he didn't care and said, ”If it's not you, then who will?”
Michelle and the others only smirked at him, throwing a teasing glance as if they knew he was just embarrassed.
Evan clicked his tongue, rose from his seat and left the room.
Kai looked at the closing door and nodded his head, starting to make a plan. He didn't forget to ask about everyone's opinion since there might be something unique in their mind. As expected, Sofia and Michelle were above the rest about this since they sometimes asked major questions and gave some advice.
Of course, Kai didn't say anything if it was a secret like the secret code. As expected, it was indeed good to have only the generals to know about the secret code. This way, they wouldn't have a clash of opinions.
He ended up refining his strategy and polishing it to the best level possible for a week of planning. It seemed that Ria Ross wanted him not to have so many thoughts because the ones who mostly commanded the armies are the generals.
If they were too restricted by the plans, they would be too stiff to perform an emergency measure. In that case, it would be better to give them a casual plan where they could improvise according to their own need.
The challenge in this plan was to know the characteristics of each general and their positioning. Kai took every information he got from Ria and incorporated it into his strategy. Although it was rough around the edges, it should be enough to satisfy every general… No, he should be calling them commanders. There is only one general in this battle, and she is Ria.
After finishing his planning, he was invited to the embassy, where they were supposed to be meeting with the generals and the president. The president only wanted to know the probability of them succeeding in the battle and won't interfere in their battle.
Of course, someone drove him to the meeting place, where he met two ladies and five old men.
”Good morning, Mister President.” Kai saluted and greeted the number one person in the US Base before looking at others. ”Teacher, Sir Nathan, Ethan, Paolo, and Jose. And this lady is…”
”She is…”
