Chapter 759 - Departure (1/2)
Jiang Fei contacted the Martial Artist Alliance and informed them the location to meet before departing. There were going to be people in charge of escorting the martial artist to the military-used harbor.
"We are all ready. We can depart at any moment," said Ding Tianqing. He was elected as the spokesperson to liaise with Jiang Fei. It was a moment of bliss for him.
The reason he was so happy was due to his position in the alliance. The man was only the master of a lowly second-rate sect. However, he was selected to be the man to liaise with Jiang Fei because of the previous incident where Jiang Fei and Ma Xuantong had a fallout at his own turf. The result of the fight was bad as many of his sect's structures and buildings were destroyed. As compensation, Ding Tianqing was elected to take on the important task.
Since the alliance was informed earlier about having to go to war, each sect had already selected a number of their students. When Jiang Fei had contacted them to depart, everyone proceeded to arrive at different small military bases around the country. Han Tianyu had made transport preparations for everyone. Even though it was the government military base, the location of the secret harbor was kept tightly. There were special Humvee tinted with black inside and outside the vehicle to prevent anyone from knowing about it.
After Jiang Fei was done with Ding Tianqing, Ariel and he made their way to the harbor by themselves. Even though Si Tuying and Shang Guanqi were martial artists, he did not want them to participate in this war. Si Tuying was only a Level 3 fighter. Even though she was capable of fighting, she lacked proper training and actual fighting experience. Shang Guanqi, on the other hand, was more than capable of taking care of herself as well as others in a fight. However, he needed someone strong to stay with his parents.
When Jiang Fei and Han Tianyu both arrived at the harbor, they saw the other martial artists that had departed earlier. When Jiang Fei saw the crowd of martial artists, standing at one corner away from the military men, he could not help but sigh. They were all purposefully ignoring the military men since they looked down on normal humans.
"There's nothing I can do now…" said Jiang Fei to himself.
He understood that the mindset of looking down on normal humans was hard to just throw away. Even so, if they did not change their attitude about normal humans, they would be digging their own graves sooner or later. Perhaps sooner…
Jiang Fei greeted the rest of the martial artists first before heading into the administrative building near the harbor.
"Hey, who is the person of the highest rank in this harbor?" Jiang Fei asked Han Tianyu.
"It was Colonel Lu Ze. Now, I'm not sure," said Han Tianyu.
"Well. Let's just go inside first," said Jiang Fei. He understood that Han Tianyu was not someone high in ranks. It was hard for him to obtain information about the military.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Jiang Fei?" said a military officer wearing a uniform with Major General insignia on his uniform.
"That is correct. Who am I speaking to?" said Jiang Fei politely as he reached out for a shake. It was obvious then that someone of higher ranks had taken over this facility since the martial artists were involved in this mess.
"My name is Qin Tian. I am a Staff Officer of the Special Navy Force," said Qin Tian as he stood up straight and shook Jiang Fei's hand.
"A pleasure to work with you," said Jiang Fei. When he heard the term "Special Navy Force", he immediately understood that it was a newly-formed branch of the military force that operated the alien machines that Jiang Fei had just given them. It was only natural for them to incorporate a few members of the Navy Force into this new branch. Jiang Fei did not care about that since everything about operations should be handled by the military.
"Mr. Jiang Fei, I am responsible for all operations for this coming war. If you have anything that needs an inquiry, please ask without reservations," said Qin Tian politely.
"I will. We will be in your care," said Jiang Fei.
