While the matters within the virtual world were reaching their most exciting state, another wind was brewing in the real world.
Most of the younger generation were too focused on the grand finals of the United Cup with a few old n, who were capable of logging in the ga or did not bother with the uncomfortable and heavy restrictions on their virtual avatar.
Did not bother about the secrets that they had within their body, not caring if so other party would learn them.
After the most recent announcent, these older generations had confird that the World Gaming Organization had most likely settled everything on their side and made sure that the almighty system of the ga would tightly guard these so-called secrets.
They also knew that this system hid a secret of its own, which was not necessarily related to the gaming company itself. It was a secret to limit and restrain the people within the World Gaming Organization when it ca to matters of the ga.
...
Inside Military Headquarters under the Springfield Family, Nathan was currently skimming through the reports piled up on his table when his subordinate suddenly knocked and sowhat interrupted his thoughts.
Seemingly having the idea who it was, Nathan lowered the pile that he was holding and closed the virtual screen projected not far from him.
He then turned at the door and said in a calm voice. "Co in."
Not long after, his lieutenant suddenly entered and gave him a salute.
Nathan casually accepted and returned the salute before asking. "How are the preparations. Is everything ready?"
Lieutenant Steeves nodded his head sowhat nervously. "Sir, Yes, Sir! Everything is already set in motion. Everything about the first part of the operation is already going according to the plan."
"We are only waiting for your orders and the other part of the plan before making our move, Commander," he swiftly added.
He had been working under Nathan for quite so ti already, yet he still could not help but feel imnse pressure coming from the latter every ti he saw this Commanding General.
This even beca worse the more he got familiar with the commander. The sa for his strength – the stronger he beca, the more he beca aware of the huge gap between them that seemingly did not shrink in the slightest. It might even be growing larger, the stronger he got.
In response to this, the pressure that he was getting from the latter was only growing heavier despite Nathan not actively releasing it.
Nathan slightly nodded. "That’s good. You can focus on this operation for now and forget about everything else. I have already made the arrangents ahead of ti, so you don’t have to worry about the other duties that you have within the base for the ti being."
"Tell everyone that they can proceed according to plan without waiting for him. Let General Anderson take over the main fleet that is heading out, and tell General Boris and General Baria to always be on standby and not leave their respective post."
"I will imdiately pass your orders to them, Commander!" said Lieutenant Steeves before preparing to leave.
He was just about to leave the office when Nathan suddenly called him again.
"Ah! Before I forget! Tell Anderson that he can’t engage in any conflict with Sauron during this entire operation. Make sure that he keeps it in mind," said Nathan with full solemnness.
’Sauron? General Sauron Green from the Ghost Corps of the Green Family’s cha Army?’ Steeve paused for a mont when he realized who Nathan was implying before trying his best to recover himself.
He then nodded his head heavily. "I understand, Commander!"
Even though he was confused about why Nathan would ntion soone from the Green Family, he knew better than anyone not to question the words of his superior.
A soldier’s job was to follow the orders of their superior.
He then gave Nathan another salute before leaving the office and closing the door behind him.
Nathan waited for a while before pressing one of the buttons on his table, projecting a call.
Not long after, the line imdiately connected, showing the face of a fierce-looking man.
This man had a standard army cut, clean yet also intimidating. He had a huge scar at the corner of his right eye, which extended between his temple and chin.
His left eye seed to be blinded, but it was implanted with a chanical eye that had noticeable features, particularly the visible chanical components around and on the side of the eye.
This person was also wearing a military uniform that was similar to Nathan’s but also showed noticeable differences and design.
The multiple pins on his left chest showed the number of achievents that this person had rited. There were also the dals on his right chest, which indicated the much bigger achievents.
The five-star badges on each of his shoulders indicated his high rank within the military.
"dici," said Nathan, seemingly greeting the other party.
At least, that’s what he was showing on the surface. But the cold tone in his voice seed to be indicating sothing else.
"Hmph!" the other commanding general snorted, displaying his displeasure, but did not say that much.
These two were rivals in a lot of things, making them hate each other’s guts. If not for their elders telling them to work together for this upcoming operation, they would never have agreed to this idea.
They might hate each other’s guts, but they also silently acknowledge the strength and abilities of the other party.
After being silent for quite a while, Nathan finally opened his mouth and started the conversation. "Everything is already in motion on our side. You can now start making your move on yours."
dici Green kept his silence for quite a while before finally opening his mouth. "I don’t know how your father has convinced my uncle, but I must warn you that this may not work that well."
"You should know our close ties with the Sun-Moon Continent and their connection with the Silver Wing Continent. This will set huge waves on the current ’peace’ that we are experiencing."
Nathan snorted when he heard the word ’peace’ from the other party, especially when both of them were fully aware of what truly lay underneath the mask that the world was wearing.
After the brief pause, Nathan suddenly smirked. "The elders had their plans and thoughts, so there is no need to be concerned about it."
"All we have to do is follow their lead, and they will take care of the rest. The tallest n will always hold the sky first when it crumbles," he added with full solemnness.
dici went silent for another ti before nodding his head. "I understand. But you must warn your n not to engage in any conflict with our side when the ti cos. Things will be difficult once it happens."
"You don’t have to remind of this. I have already made my preparations," snorted Nathan.
"See you on the battlefield," said dici before ending the call, without even waiting for Nathan to say anything else.
Nathan shook his head when he heard that before closing the projected screen.
They had always been saying those words to each other whenever there were so conflicts between their sides. But the aning this ti was a bit different since they would be working on the sa side on this operation.
Not long after, Nathan received a ssage from one of his n, informing him about another matter.
Skimming through the contents of the ssage, he went silent for another ti before sighing helplessly. He closed the projected screen before turning his head outside the window.
He looked at the clear blue sky before mumbling to himself. "Is it that ti already?"
"I guess all the preparations that you have done up until now will be bearing fruit sooner or later," he added, seemingly talking to soone else.
He recalled that ti when Adam had told them about his plans before using his forbidden technique on all of them.
Using the highest level of the Dream Heart Sutra to erase all their mories, saving them from the curse of that place, further adding to the ’cris’ that he already had.
He then beca the most notorious fugitive, constantly pursued by the World Governnt and other organizations, who sought to uncover the secrets he carried.
They first painted him as so sort of evil, before slowly erasing his na from the river of history in a short ti.
The achievents that he had engraved in history might be short, but all of them far surpassed what everyone, including those legendary figures and old monsters that were already hiding in so places as a form of retirent.
Nathan sighed helplessly for another ti before turning his head and casting his gaze on a certain corner of the office where a certain helt was located.
A nostalgic feeling quickly overwheld him as he reminisced about those mories. With a sad and helpless sigh, he smiled bitterly before mumbling to himself. "You promise that we will naturally recover our mories once we have achieved sufficient strength to nullify its effects."
"Just how much strength do we need to have to carry before we can share that burden?"
