Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation(Vol 5)

Vol 5/ Chapter 148: Do You Believe in God?

"The only option we have now is to start with the intel we've gathered on the nuclear weapons," said General Lee.

The screen switched back to the map showing M-country's nuclear weapon sites. The analysis was mostly done, so the map now showed bases in two colors: white and red. General Lee pointed to the majority of white bases and continued:

"Although M-country has many nuclear bases, most haven't been infected yet. Since normal nuclear attack orders are very complex, we can ignore these white bases for now and focus on the red occupied areas."

M-country's nuclear facilities were like arms threatening the whole world. If we couldn't take out the brain in one hit, cutting off the enemy's arms was a common tactic.

"Even though we have precise coordinates for almost all of M-country's nuclear facilities, we can't attack the infected targets right away. This could cause panic in other countries. Also, according to our leader's instructions, we can't let the outside world know about the space portal yet. So to solve this crisis, we have only one option—"

Finally, we'd reached the core topic of this meeting. It was clear the H-country military had already made a detailed plan, which they were now revealing to everyone.

"We've decided to send people to intervene directly. We'll infiltrate and clean up all infected nuclear facilities. This must be done quickly and all at once, taking control before the Ancestor can react. This will set us up nicely for the follow-up 'Blue Palace' decapitation plan."

As for who would attack the nuclear facilities, General Lee were very clear. They needed people with excellent skills who could work in secret without being easily discovered. Even with special training, normal Earth people couldn't reach this level, especially not with so many nuclear facilities to take over at once.

This was why the base leaders had called everyone to this meeting. They needed lots of manpower to help. The only ones who could meet their requirements were us visitors from other worlds.

Driven by everyone's desire to get home quickly, even the weakest from World 9 were willing to join in. After all, the enemies were just low-level vampires, not nearly as threatening as World 27.

In theory, the H-country military's plan seemed solid. If we could deal with the nuclear launch terminals, even if the Ancestor was still alive, they couldn't do much for a while.

But many people still thought we didn't have enough manpower. Even after narrowing it down, there were still too many targets. I couldn't help but object:

"The M-country fleet hasn't left yet. They're mostly docked in a few ports, so we don't need many people to clean up the fleet leadership. But what about the infected nuclear bases on land? Even though we've narrowed it down to less than twenty, they're spread out over a huge area. We only have people from a handful of worlds. It'll be hard to quickly deal with all the vampires in these bases without the Ancestor noticing!"

After recruiting across worlds for World 27, only a few capable worlds were left in the base. Except for the World 1, which had people about as strong as me who could handle the cleanup alone, the others seemed too weak.

"We've discussed the manpower issue thoroughly, and there shouldn't be a problem," General Lee said, rejecting my view. "I know many of you could easily clean up a base on your own. If we reassign everyone and split up, dealing with the nuclear facilities around M-country's capital should be no problem!"

I was surprised that General Lee suddenly seemed to understand our abilities much better.

Of course, he had good reason to be confident! General Lee made a quick phone call, and Number 14 Feliciana soon walked out from the intelligence analysis room.
