Chapter 698: Chapter 76 Unswervingly Delbon
The situation is very bad?
"We have recently captured 23 scouts, and more than six ‘infiltrators’ have again been exposed, all targeting the location of the ‘Kirin Flagship’.”
Cortana said, her gaze shifting to Bolun.
"There is still something going on with Emily; I’ll go check on her.”
"Better than the rumors had it,” Cortana appraised.
"Among the young people I know, he should be one of the best, both in terms of ability and potential,” Jason once again, did not skimp on his praise.
Then, he looked up at Cortana.
He remembered that the ‘Kirin Flagship’ should be in a nearby secret base, and this secret base, for the Sabie aliens’ ‘infiltrators’, shouldn’t be a secret at all.
Suddenly, Jason thought of a possibility.
Cortana noticed the look on Jason’s face.
The aide-de-camp nodded and said directly, “Just as you are thinking, Master Sergeant, that ‘Kirin Flagship’ is nothing but an empty shell.”
"Or rather, it is indeed a third-generation battleship.”
"But the ‘Kirin Flagship’ is of the fourth generation—it is the newest type of flagship we have built with the help of a member of the ‘Undying Diamond’, based on Sabie alien technology and knowledge from the Mystical Side of the planet!” ṛ𝙖ɴȪᛒƐs
"It is our true secret weapon,” the aide-de-camp continued, pausing for a moment, her voice growing somber.
"But, it’s been ‘discovered’.”
Jason keenly picked up on the description in Cortana’s words.
"When you say ‘discovered,’ do you mean?”
"In our plan, tomorrow’s new recruit expedition had always been semi-public, with the ‘Kirin Flagship’ stand-in set to rise into space and return to the lunar base, while the real ‘Kirin Flagship’ would stay hidden, ready to launch a devastating attack on the Sabie aliens. However, the Sabie aliens may have ‘discovered’ it, as they keep sending out scouts, and even more deeply hidden ‘infiltrators’ are beginning to emerge.”
"General Rael Fono was also the target of an assassination attempt yesterday!” Cortana dropped the surprising news to Jason.
General Rael Fono was undoubtedly one of the linchpins of the ‘ground’ forces, not the highest in power, but in some ways a ‘spiritual leader.’ If assassinated, it would truly be a disaster for the ‘ground’ forces.
"Is the injury severe?”
Since Cortana was able to sit here and discuss tomorrow’s ‘new recruit expedition’ with him, it meant that the old general was still alive.
"Just took a bullet to the right arm.”
"And the one who tried to assassinate the old general was one of his staff members,”
"Someone who would never betray the ground forces.”
"Moreover, he was not under the control of an ‘infiltrator’.”
As she spoke this, Cortana’s gaze turned sharp.
Undoubtedly a betrayer!
And moreover, a traitor within the high ranks of the ‘ground’ forces.
Jason’s brows furrowed tightly.
He knew what this meant.
The secrets and plans of the ‘ground’ forces would be known to the Sabie aliens.
The already challenging military situation could once again fall into a highly unfavorable state.
"Is the real ‘Kirin Flagship’ powerful?”
After a moment of thought, Jason brought the topic back to the ‘Kirin Flagship’ again.
Clearly, all of the problems centered on the ‘Kirin Flagship.’
Whether it was the Sabie aliens’ scouts, infiltrators, or the subsequent assassination, it was all for the ‘Kirin Flagship.’
And for the ‘ground’ forces to hide it so deeply,
And for the Sabie aliens to value it so greatly,
Jason had a considerable curiosity about the ‘Kirin Flagship.’
"If the timing is right,”
"It can turn the tide of battle,” Cortana replied.
"Then what do I need to do?”
Jason asked after nodding.
He didn’t probe further about the ‘Kirin Flagship.’
Because he knew Cortana wouldn’t say more.
And with tomorrow’s mission of ‘new recruit expedition,’ Cortana couldn’t stay here for long.
Jason wasn’t one to beat around the bush.
With these considerations in mind, he cut straight to the point.
"Ensure the ‘new recruit expedition’ goes smoothly as much as possible. We suspect the Sabie aliens will take a desperate risk to disrupt the ‘new recruit expedition’ ceremony, forcing us to reveal the real ‘Kirin Flagship when the ‘new recruit expedition’ is disrupted, and we urgently need to boost morale, surely we’ll need new weaponry, and what could be more appropriate than the ‘Kirin Flagship’?”
"However, this is also our chance,”
"A chance to completely purge our rear,”
"And this requires your cooperation, we need you to appear at the ‘new recruit expedition’ ceremony as one of the top combat powers,” Cortana looked at Jason with a plea in her eyes.
Jason agreed without hesitation.
He was already inextricably linked to the ‘ground’ faction.
Not to mention, his main mission was closely related to the ‘ground’ forces.
Both morally and rationally, he would help.
"Plenty of heavy weapons.”
