Chapter 834 - Baited (1/2)
”General! A large number of martial artists have been detected in Area Z7041. They appear to be surrounding an odd structure!”
When Jiang Fei removed the camouflage field, the American Naval fleet detected their presence via high altitude surveillance drones.
”What structure? Enhance the image!” said Robert.
”Yes, sir! The image is being captured once more. Acquiring high-resolution images in 5 seconds!” said the operator.
”Image is being displayed now, sir.”
”T-That is no random structure! That's an alien artifact!” cried Robert.
”Contact the Mutants!” Robert turned around and informed the communication operators.
With speed, a communication line was established and Desir was called. Unlike martial artists, the Mutants and Americans had a high interest in obtaining alien technology.
”Why the sudden call?” Desir asked. He was the one being contacted since he was the man in charge of all the Mutants deployed in Japan.
”Mr. Desir, we have found the main group of the enemy. We have also found an… unexpected surprise!”
”What is it about?” Desir asked nonchalantly. If they had found the martial artists, Robert would not have informed Desir about it. He could simply fire all his missiles, bombarding them to hell.
”It's an alien artifact! A large silver-white metallic structure! It's been hidden in a canyon!” said Robert. He also transferred the image he had obtained to Desir.
”This… a pleasant surprise!” Desir smirked. Based on the reports from his spies planted deep in China, he had known about the Chinese discovery of an alien artifact. Although the authenticity of the report was questioned, the discovery of an alien artifact was too important to let go. When Desir obtained the images Robert sent to him, all doubts were erased. There was no way any Earth-based technology could replicate the alien metal.
”Since the enemies are gathering around the structure, I am not going to launch an airstrike on them. The chance of getting the alien structure destroyed is very high!”
”Smart move. Cease all attacks and focus solely on tracking martial artists. I want to know where they are at all times! We will handle this ourselves,” said Desir. He could not agree more with Robert on his decision to abort an airstrike. The alien artifact was too important to them!
Desir hung up the call and started to think of an attack strategy.
”Who is closest to them?” Desir asked his assistant.
”Vine Demon is the closest to them. They can arrive in about an hour!”
”Good. Sent them over but do not let him engage the enemy. There are too many of them. Have him survey the enemies and wait for us to arrive,” said Desir.
”Yes, sir!”
”General Robert, remember to keep me in check if there are any changes to the enemies' position,” said Desir.
”Yes, sir. The 7th Fleet will not disappoint,” said Robert.
”I expect not.”
