Chapter 260: Long-Planned
Hearing the soldier's explanation, Kate stepped forward and stood in front of Annie. She politely asked the squad leader:
"As soon as we heard the alarm, we ran out. We left all our belongings in the room. Could we have five minutes to get our personal items"
“This”
"It won't take long. I'm only having three people make the run. If they leave base to hide, at least they should bring enough supplies!"
Kate explained, then looked at the captain with some questioning eyes.
"Okay! Please hurry up. After we finish the escort mission, we also need to take our positions and be on alert. We can't delay too long."
The squad leader finally reluctantly opened up.
"Anne, take people there, hurry up, only five minutes."
Anne blinked, nodded and pointed at four classmates at random, then turned and ran into her old house.
A video request popped up in Liàn Yī's intelligent brain. She quickly answered it, and the other party immediately asked:
"We're being escorted by a group of soldiers to safety, according to them. Kate doesn't feel right about this and fought for five minutes to convince me that we need to confirm with Mr. OuYang if there is an arrangement for us to be protected during the transfer to another location"
As soon as she finished speaking, General Nays dismissed it immediately:
"I have not arranged for anyone to pick up your school's students."
Anne naturally heard it, and immediately composed herself, saying:
I now notify everyone, be prepared to take cover.
After thinking for a moment, Lian Yi spoke directly:
"Annie, don't send messages for now. Act like you know nothing and gather with the others first. Keep your video on so I can see your exact location."
"That squad's compromised, you need to restrain them. Don't let them breach the base defense grid from within. I'll join up with you shortly and explain the details."
After Ripple finished speaking, she looked at OuYang. The latter nodded, while Major Nies had already begun retrieving the garrison's surveillance footage. Unfortunately, there was no trace of the soldiers and students.
Turning back, he heard Lian Yi's instructions again. After Lian Yi hung up the video call, he immediately said:
"That's too risky. We don't know how these soldiers infiltrated here or what they did after entering the base! It's too dangerous to let the students follow."
"So I had Anne put on the video, at least to know what kind of person it was Where were they taking them"
As expected, Annie met up with her companions shortly after. On the video call, their faces could be clearly seen. The control center's screen immediately displayed information about this squad of soldiers.
"Reporting, Colonel, they are stationed soldiers. That,"
"Please ask the captain to get in touch with the squad leader and find out why he hasn't returned to his post. See what he has to say."
Ripple spoke up immediately, she felt that things weren't so simple.
Nice nodded in agreement, the contact immediately connected with that team's commander.
"Jonathan, where is your squad Why haven't they returned to their posts"
"Reporting, officer, we are currently escorting cadets from the First Military Academy to the internal hangar. There was a slight delay earlier, but we will return to our post immediately upon mission completion."
"Who gave you this order"
"This is an emergency mission sent directly to my neural implant from the central hub."
The captain seemed to have realized something and stopped walking.
And the ripples' companions, they were already tense, ready to react instantly if things went wrong. They would never just surrender.
Because Ripples was video-calling Annie, she sent text messages to all the members of Class A, letting them know the current situation. Everyone made eye contact silently and got ready for battle. Nineteen against nine, they were confident they could hold off this squad of soldiers.
The attendant on the side, having heard this, quickly retrieved the message sent by the control center and turned to say:
“There is a hidden command, once the base defenses are activated, it will be sent immediately. The content is to escort the students to transfer to the Inner Navigation Building. The soldiers receiving the order are also random. The small spacecraft docked there has also been set with its course! Major General! What should we do now”
"Bring back all those children!"
Nays's temples throbbed with a vein pulsing visibly. He didn't need an investigation to know, it was Sergeant Major Kan's doing, the traitor. He was just waiting for his trial by military court.
"Nice lieutenant, please wait a moment. I have now clarified the situation at the base. I believe we should board that spaceship."
After hearing the ripples' words, Nice's head started to hurt. Without hesitation, he refused:
"I won't let you take any risks."
"Lieutenant Nice was wrong, leaving here is the safest option. Now that we understand their intentions, only we surviving has any value. They won't easily harm us."
Once the pirates have successfully carried out their heist, they will definitely evacuate their hideout immediately out of fear of being pursued. This gives our lieutenant time to deploy personnel for tracking, ensuring our safety while also leading us to the hidden pirate lair. If we can capture this gang of pirates in one fell swoop, it would be a significant accomplishment.
What Liàn Yī says is always the truth.
As a result, he was slapped on the head by Mr. OuYang. The latter's face turned black as he said:
"Great ambition, your idea is good, but this plan doesn't require you to take any risks. We'll be sending stationed soldiers onto the ship instead. You all stay here, that's an order!"
"
Liàn Yī rubbed her head, this time Ou Yang Teacher really didn't show mercy, it hurt quite a bit.
"Colonel Nice, although General Hongtu's plan is a bit adventurous, his analysis is correct. Having such a band of pirates hiding near our base is not good. We might as well take this opportunity to eliminate them completely."
Ouyang turned his head and said.
Only then did Colonel Nice's face soften slightly, and he nodded in agreement with Ou Yang's proposal. After all, these precious darlings were almost in danger because the Sergeant Major colluded with pirates. If the pirates had succeeded, where would this colonel’s face be This annoying mosquito must be dealt with.
Fifteen minutes later, Teacher Ou Yang arrived with Lian Yi and joined the other companions. This time, General Nies directly arranged these treasures in the core area of the base, at the officers' quarters. Then he began to deploy troops and plan for subsequent missions.
As soon as the ripples appeared, they were surrounded by their companions. She also explained the general situation to everyone.
These pirates must have planned this in advance, otherwise they wouldn't have even bribed their own people.
Hill pounded his little chubby fist and said.
"Of course, otherwise there wouldn't be two plans. Outsiders would tie up Sean and his team, create chaos, then seize the opportunity to alert the others at the base, taking advantage of their time rushing out to help. With that sergeant's assistance, we could quietly slip away."
If the first plan fails, there will be a second one to pick up the slack. The defense system will activate, and soldiers will, according to central orders, transfer us. No one will suspect anything, after all, as minors are not allowed to participate in combat, and we wouldn't suspect the garrison soldiers either. Then we would walk right into the trap.ilizing the entire Phoenix Nation army, had arrived along with a letter, delivered by a flying eagle.If a falcon were to lose an eagle talisman in the middle of flight, there would be a risk of it bei...
