Chapter Eighty-Three: Going into Battle

  ♂?,,

  "Finally arrived..."

  On the deck of the USS Ford, a fish eagle slowly fell down, Yan Shao said in a low voice.

  After the world government issued a summons, many high-ability individuals rushed from all over the world. The three Baltzars who came from New York were among the last batch. What Yan Shao didn't expect was that the red-haired woman he met in India would actually be the No. 2 of the Time Guardians.

  Katerina... Blade of Misfortune

  This time, rushing to Sumatra is not only Yan Shao and his team, but also a large fleet composed of hundreds of large and small warships. If you count the Liaoning of China and the Chakri Naruebet of Thailand, there are as many as seven aircraft carriers in the entire fleet. The standard displacement of Chakri Naruebet is only over 7,000 tons, and it's fully loaded with only over 10,000 tons, which is less than one-sixth of Liaoning. Moreover, this aircraft carrier was purchased before the Asian financial crisis in 1997. After the financial crisis, the Thai government had no funds to purchase new vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. It is said that by 1999, only one Sea Harrier could still fly, but now it's just the ship that can move.

  Of course, the United Nations didn't think they could rely on this aircraft carrier for combat either; as long as it can carry people, that's all that matters.

  Sumatra has a population of over 50 million, and during the ant infestation, although the world government also had evacuation actions, even adding up to Sumatran residents' self-evacuation, only a few million people were evacuated in total, and there are still many refugees stranded along the coast, hiding from the ants' hunting while waiting for rescue.

  The purpose of this UN fleet is to evacuate these refugees.

  The goal of the world government is only to stay in the coastal refugees, can withdraw as much as possible, as for those who are still staying in the inland without moving, it's really helpless.

  The world government naturally hopes that they can eradicate the ants entrenched in Sumatra, but warfare always requires some backup plans. Shao and Bartsal, even those with abilities belonging to various national governments, do not know that hundreds of nuclear warheads from the US, Russia, UK, France, and China have long been aimed at the anthill and possible battle sites. As soon as Bartsal's mission fails, hundreds of nuclear warheads will wipe out the ants along with the failed ability users and tens of thousands of civilians trapped inside the anthill. The five countries are acting together to share the responsibility, so that no single country has to bear the blame alone.

  "Long time no see, Balthazar..."

  Several people who came down from the fish eagle with a smile, Minov and other capable people went up to meet them.

  However, when the ability users surrounded Balthasar and Agustino, a few people from Sei no Michibata were watching alone on one side with an out-of-place look.

  Whether it was Yan Shao or Bartolomeo, they all noticed this point, but none of them said anything. Yan Shao didn't care about the matter, while Bartolomeo and others understood that their cooperation with Xing Zhidao was only temporary. Once the threat from the ants was resolved, they would likely have to face each other in battle next, so it was better for their relationship to remain cold, lest they couldn't bring themselves to do what needed to be done later on...

  "What's the plan this time..."

  As they were chatting, a tall and thin middle-aged man with a stern expression and shoulder-length white hair walked over and asked in a cold tone.

  The arrival of this person caused Balthazar and others to become somewhat cautious in their expressions.

  "The second person in the Star Way sign, Diamond Delinger..."

  Before Bartz answered Dringier's question, Eduardo, who was somewhat dissatisfied with his attitude, sneered.

  "Can't this guy even say thank you?!"

  Although the main object of conflict for Stellaluna is the Timekeepers, they have also clashed with the Ability Holders Association multiple times. Edwado, who serves as Baltasar's right-hand man, has fought them several times, and a few subordinates have even died at their hands. With old grudges added to new ones, it's natural that their tone wouldn't be very good.

  Hearing Eduardo mock himself, Deringer's face turned cold, but before he could react, Balthazar had already inserted himself between the two.

  "Edvard..."

  Bartolomeo shot Eduardo a stern glance, although he also understood that the future and the Starlight Path would absolutely be either friends or foes, but for now they were allies against a common enemy, so even if there was something in the future, it shouldn't cause conflict now.

  Bartol saw Barthol really got angry, Eduardo shrugged and retreated to one side.

  Fortunately, Bartholomew didn't expect him to apologize either, so after Eduardo stepped down, he himself looked embarrassed at Adelringe.

  "I'm so sorry, he's still young..."

  "Whatever..."

  Dellinger shook his head.

  Unlike the Ability User Association, which is reused by the world government but not trusted, Seidou has a considerable number of supporters within the world government and has received much intelligence, understanding the importance of this matter, so it does not want to know friction at this time.

  "May I ask, what's the plan this time?"

  "The plan is simple..." Balthazar said slowly after a moment of silence. "When the fleet takes in refugees along the coast, those ants will definitely come out to stop us. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we'll weaken some of their strength first. If we can take down a few A-level ant strengths, that's even better. After that, we'll directly attack the anthill and thoroughly eliminate these ants..."

  De Lin Jie furrowed his brow.

  "It's really simple..."

  It's precisely because it's so simple that Deringer is somewhat skeptical that the plan Balthazar gave him isn't real. It's not strange to have such doubts, after all, the nature of the Star Path mark and other organizations are different, making it hard for Deringer to trust them.

  Dellinger looks suspicious of himself, and Balthazar can't help but smile wryly.

  "This is also an unavoidable thing, our main goal this time is the Ant Queen, in other words we must take care of her before the birth of the new Ant King, so the simpler the plan the better, if not I would also like to weaken those ants' strength as much as possible..."

  When Balthazar said this, Drelinc nodded reluctantly.

  After getting the answer, Deringer returned to his own camp.

  A few days later, when the UN fleet arrived in the coastal area of Sumatra, the ants indeed took action as expected by Bartzal. However, what happened next was somewhat unexpected, that is, the number of ants...

  "How many of these guys have multiplied in this period of time..."

  When the fleet accepted refugees, hundreds of ants suddenly appeared, and Eduardo covered his head with a headache. In order to minimize unnecessary casualties, the ability of the entourage was at least B-level high-end, so there were only about 40 people in the entire team.

  Forty or so people, even if the ones in front were low-level soldier ants, would be enough to kill them for a while, let alone the fact that there were unknown numbers of captains and even battalion commanders mixed inside.

  However, since the opponent has already appeared, they cannot just stand here either. After all, the fleet has begun to accept refugees. If they sit back and do nothing, whether it's the soldiers or the refugees, they will all die there.

  "Don't send anyone below A-level out to fight, lest they become a hindrance..."

  Catherine said coldly, grasping the battle knife that had appeared in her hand at some unknown time.

  Those B-level high-ranking ability users had never heard of such a thing, but after seeing Katrina's war knife flashing with cold light, these people could only shrink their necks. Even A-level ability users have differences, like Bart Sala or Yan Shao are relatively easier to talk to, while Katrina is the most difficult one to talk to.

  The blade of misfortune... this was forged with the lives of hundreds of Ability Users...

  Since there were no more opponents, Katriona didn't plan to waste any more time. However, before she could take a step forward, Yan Shao had already blocked her path.

  Jian Shao blocked himself, and Catherine gave him a cold glance.

  This glance made Yan Shao shudder, and after glancing at the war knife in his hand, he quickly spoke up.

  "You don't have to bother, I can handle it from here..."

  After staring at each other for a few seconds, Katriona backed down, but the war knife in her hand was aimed at Yan Shao, with an expression that seemed to say she would give him a knife if she failed.

  Feeling the chill coming from behind him, Yan Shao smiled wryly in his heart. He stood out not to show off, but just to prove some things.

  "Lightning..."

  Softly murmuring, the lightning wrapped itself around him.

  Under the entanglement of thunder and lightning, Yan Shao was like an incarnation of thunder. The fierce thunder and lightning even made people like Bartelsar retreat a few steps, leaving only Katerina standing in her original position, with an air of not caring at all, but her right hand tightly grasping the war knife seemed to reveal something.

  Yan Shao didn't care about what happened behind his back, after Lei Huo, the intense pain had replaced everything...

  In this intense pain, Yan Shao's abilities are also increasing exponentially...

  Enduring the intense pain brought by the electric shock, Yan Shao whispered softly.

  "Thunderstorm..."

  Ten seconds later, just as Catherine and others were getting impatient, nearly a thousand lightning bolts struck down from the sky. The hundreds of soldier ants that had just emerged were almost annihilated in an instant. This scene left everyone in the entire fleet stunned, even Catherine, who seemed to be indifferent to everything, widened her eyes. And after doing all this, Yan Shao's mind only had one thought as he dispelled the lightning from his body.

  "It seems I'm really a strong person after all..."
