Wang Teng didn't launch an attack in the end, and only asked his n to wait patiently.
He had a feeling that the lightning would land soon.
He specially asked Round Ball to look up the days when lightning fell in the past. The ti difference was no more than five days.
This was in relation to both the before and after timing.
It had been two days so the lightning would either show up that day or the following.
Wang Teng could afford to wait.
It was almost impossible for the lightning not to appear.
That is, unless the local weather had a complete change.
But, weather conditions weren't ford easily; abrupt changes wouldn't take place.
How unlucky would they be if this were to happen?
Wang Teng didn't believe he was an unlucky person.
"You're really composed." Round Ball's voice appeared in Wang Teng's mind. It clearly understood what was happening outside, and respected Wang Teng's current calmness for this.
"Being impatient is pointless. I'm in charge of the lives of all these martial warriors. I can't promise to save all their lives but I can lower the number of casualties," Wang Teng said indifferently.
"What about the criticism from the main base?" Round Ball asked.
The little fellow knew that Wang Teng really wanted to fight the battle properly. The assessnt from the people monitoring from the main base would affect the likelihood of promotions in the future, and whether he would be able to be seen by the real bosses of the military.
It was just a normal battle in the eyes of Red Scorpion and Raging Bear. To Wang Teng, it had a special significance.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't playing along.
Wang Teng was at a disadvantage from the start.
Not taking the victories from those two groups into account, they could take their ti and wait two more days as long as they won in the end.
But, having those two victories pressing down on them, the Tiger Strike Force was under more pressure.
Being the commander, Wang Teng received the most pressure.
"To hell with their criticism. I'm not afraid of anyone, even if I don't have the backing of the military," said Wang Teng with a snort.
Round Ball was stunned. Then, it laughed.
It felt that Wang Teng was indeed an interesting fellow.
The fifth day passed slowly. No lightning appeared even as dusk arrived.
The entire Tiger Strike Force was on tenterhooks. There was a growing feeling of insecurity.
…
Concurrently—within the 13th frontline, in what was once the commander's office.
An exceptionally handso young man was sitting on the chair. His face was white, so much so that capillaries could be seen underneath. His lips were as red as blood, and two fangs were faintly visible on the corners of his lips.
It was a high-ranked vampire dark apparition!
He twirled the transparent wine glass he was holding, which contained an unknown crimson liquid.
The crimson liquid ford a small whirlpool as he moved the glass.
The dashing fellow stared at the liquid in his cup. A faint purple-red glow shimred in his eyes as he lifted the cup to enjoy the succulent drink.
Knock, knock, knock!
Knocks were heard on the door.
The young man frowned. His interest in the liquid was gone and he said in a cold voice, "Co in!"
A vampire dark apparition walked in.
The latter was also good looking, but he couldn't be compared to the one in the room.
Especially his aura. The vampire dark apparition in the room had an outstanding and noble montum; he would stand out even if he was thrown into a bunch of his kin.
The new arrival was frightened. He could hear the unhappiness in the other party's tone and knew he had disturbed the latter.
"Sir Tourbe, I'm really sorry!" said the vampire dark apparition with care and bowing.
"I will send you to et our ancestors if you can't give a satisfactory reason," Tourbe replied calmly.
Cold sweat appeared on the vampire's back. He trembled in fear as he replied, "Sir, the humans have been here for six days. Shall we…"
Splat!
Before he finished speaking—a crimson beam of light shot out from Tourbe's mouth and landed on the other vampire, who instantly lted into a pile of black blood before he could even scream.
"Idiot!"
The purple-red glow flickered in Tourbe's eyes as he mumbled to himself, "They're just humans. What's there to be afraid of?
"Huntington and Joseph have already left.
"I hope they can hurry up."
He got up from his seat and walked to the window. Then, he looked in the direction of the ninth and the seventeenth frontline.
…
On the sixth day—the five deputy regintal commanders ran to the top of the battlecraft early in the morning to look at the sky. Hopefully the heavens will send us so lightning soon so we can go ho… I an, so we can fight with the dark apparitions.
Only Wang Teng stayed put in his room, inside the battlecraft. He only ca out slowly at around 9 am.
"Commander, you're really patient. We can't sit still," Wei Tong said bitterly.
"I would also be impatient if it did any good." Wang Teng chuckled.
Everyone was speechless.
They didn't know that their new commander would be so composed.
Is he a happy-go-lucky person or does he have plans up his sleeve?
Wang Teng didn't care about their expressions. He looked at the sky and closed his eyes to sense his surroundings. He smiled.
It's here!
The lightning is coming!
He could sense lightning power congregating in the sky before him using his lightning talent.
"Everyone, get in position. I did so calculations and just found that there will be lightning in the afternoon," Wang Teng said.
"Did so calculations?"
Huo Qiya and the others exchanged silent looks. They had a terrible urge to curse.
Do you think you're a fortune teller?
Can't you be more reliable at a ti like this?
"Commander, don't joke around," said Deputy Jira with a bitter smile.
"I'm not joking," Wang Teng replied calmly.
Everyone was stunned. They looked into the sky but they couldn't sense anything, because their skills weren't lightning-based.
"Commander, can you sense the lightning Force in your surroundings?" Wei Tong exclaid in surprise.
Wang Teng knew they wouldn't believe him unless he gave them so assurance, so he nodded and readily admitted.
"You can sense it!" Wei Tong was flabbergasted. He could not believe it.
It was just a casual remark, but Wang Teng had actually admitted it.
What did that an?
Wang Teng was a rare lightning elent martial warrior.
How else would he have the ans to sense Lightning Force?
Huo Qiya suddenly rembered that their new leader used a weapon that could harness lightning to defeat him. At first he thought that Wang Teng just had the advantage of having a good weapon; but now, it seed that he did have the ability.
"Let's inform our n and ask them to make preparations." Everyone was motivated, so they hurried to prepare.
