After several days in the eastern province
Darius, after obtaining the Colonel's permission, explained the full details of his plan to the members of the Military Council and after one of those present raised his hand and asked
General Darius, your plan depends on the element of surprise and deception, then what will you do if the enemy discovers your place and launches a surprise attack, as your troops are not prepared for direct combat operations and do not have firepower capable of repelling enemy destroyers
A good question, General Rustin
That is why I chose the triple satellite orbit of the zimn03 system to hide our troops.no fleet can venture its destroyers along this path, and we saw this two years ago when the enemy tried to rally around our troops to launch a surprise attack before his fleet was severely damaged and forced to retreat. Darius answered, seeing the tacit approval of some of those present
Then you will be at a disadvantage if the enemy decides to blockade the path to cut off supplies on you. One of those present said
Darius smiled and answered
Then only if we trap the enemy in the trap we want
The interviewer did not understand what he meant by his words, but before he asked, moral spoke and said
General Liam, how many paths do you think lead to the three moons
General Liam thought and answered
Only one
There are two tracks. The Colonel replied and continued
But the other one was neglected by the eastern province for being useless and full of risks
The silent cliff path is considered one of the most dangerous paths that you may take if you do not have sufficient knowledge of its hidden dangers, especially the gravitational field of the double planet
Everyone present thought about the Colonel's words and then fell silent
Darius looked at the council members and said
Do any of you have any objection to the plan I have offered
What calls you to take these risks to achieve victory, general Darius, what is the purpose of all this. General Liam asked
Darius looked at the faces of those present, who raised their heads to him and waited for his answer
General Liam, how many fighters have we lost in the eastern province alone so far
About twenty-three million fighters. General Liam replied
And then how many of them had dreams and ambitions to realize. Darius answered sadly, looking at the faces of those present, who seemed to be affected, and continued his speech, saying
General Liam, I lost my brother and most of my friends during this war, and I think most of those present share this feeling
None of our previous wars, with the exception of the Christmas war, has ever reached such a level of bloodshed and destruction
Every time I come home and see my father, I find that he has grown old quickly and gray hair has invaded his head, however, I always find him trying to be friendly with me and encourage me, but I realize that something broke inside him after the death of my brother could not be repaired, and then this matter was passed on to all families and look at the terrible reality that we live because of the war, it broke us to the point of losing the simplest elements of life, which is a sense of security, safety and peace
General Liam I understand that as the heir to one of the seven families makes you doubt the intentions and goals of others, and you're right, but I'm not like you, I'm someone who does not have the ability to exceed the ceiling of ambition of being more than a good general who seeks to preserve the lives of his men or do you think that Mr. Orion and Mrs. lodrina will prefer people like me to people like you, especially after the end of the war, the eastern province will need all the support that can be provided through the seven families to restore the infrastructure destroyed during the war
Liam stared at Darius's face and said
And are you confident of achieving victory through this plan
No one can predict the future, but at least it can raise the morale of our men and weaken the morale of the enemy
The meeting ends with the approval of five members and the rejection of three, which makes the plan come into force
I didn't know you were such an articulate and persuasive orator. Moral said
It is preferable to eliminate their obsessions before they swell up and turn them into irreconcilable opponents with whom some catarrh cannot be resolved by the sword, but you must show others what they want to get their support. Darius replied
Well, I'll start by calculating the necessary supplies you need and send them to the logistics department at headquarters. Moral said
Then we meet a week later to make sure of all the preparations. Darius said that and walked down the right lane while moral took the left lane
Darius has been busy all week reviewing the details of the plan with the team leaders and making the necessary adjustments
When Darius completed his preparations and distributed the roles to the various teams, he decided to return to his room to rest a little and woke up at noon to the sound of the communication device and opened the line to find out who was calling
I hope I didn't wake you up. Natalia said
It's not important, honey, how the kids are doing. Darius said
They are active and like to accompany their grandfather abroad. Natalia said
Darius did not want to get married in these circumstances, but after the death of his brother and the fear of his parents to lose him too, he decided to get married in order to alleviate the size of the loss, after twelve years of marriage, Darius had his wife Natalia, who is his cousin, five children, two sons and three daughters
I'll be busy for the next while.Do you need anything. Darius said
Nothing important, I just wanted to check on you and also called cira to check on your parents and told me to call her saying if the opportunity arises, she says she misses you. Natalia said
Don't worry, I'm fine.tell cira I'll call her as soon as possible, honey. bye-bye. Darius said that he ended communication with his wife, took out another communicator from the stairs and called his sister
It seems that you became famous among the Third Fleet after you saved the colonel from a certain defeat during the last battle. cira's voice came through the device
This is what you see, but what I see, most of the generals of the council are wary of me and want to limit my role. Darius said
I'm sorry.I was supposed to take your place. cira said Sadly
The laws of the Federation require every family consisting of five people and above to send two of their children when conscripting for war, and the prevailing custom is that the eldest children are the ones who are sent
No, you were the most suitable person to go to war, our parents need care, and you are better suited for this task than me. Darius said
Well, let's move beyond these emotional conversations and get to the heart of the matter, what have you found. Darius said
He has discovered some mysterious things about our great-grandfather but I have not come up with any concrete evidence to support my suspicions. cira said
And these things are what they are. Darius said
Firstly, it seems that our grandfather came from outside the solar system of the eastern province in which we live now, but where he came from, I have not found any evidence, and secondly, it seems that our grandfather had relations with important people in power . cira finished her speech
Why do you think that our grandfather has something to do with the authority in the eastern province. Darius said
I tried to dig deep into my grandfather's origins but was denied access to that information. cira said
Send all the information to me, I'll try to use my license to access some information
Okay, but why are you having these doubts now. cira said
Let's say I met someone who worked with my grandfather and he told me he was an amazing person. Darius said that in a serious way
My grandfather must have been an important person before he died. cira said that and talked to Darius about the state of their parents and some other things before ending the call
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Darius sat alone in the room, recalling some events that he saw five years ago and said
If my guess is correct, our grandfather may be much more
Darius was making some notes on ways to hide the stellar ash from burning fuel in the engines when he heard a knock on the door, so he put the notebook aside and opened the door
Get dressed quickly. we're heading to the city of the red flame. Moral said so with tense facial features
After Darius and muralle left the headquarters and their vehicle flew away from him, Darius asked
What's going on, moral, and why are you so nervous
Lloyd called me a little while ago and said that he had discovered important information and wanted to tell us about it personally. Moral said
You mean information about the unidentified body that we discovered two years ago. Sal Darius
Yes, but I think he knew some secrets that exceed the value of the money we paid him and he wants more. Moral said
If the information is really worth it, I will bear the cost he wants. Darius said
At the specified place two people waited on the right side of the street of the blooming sun in the center of the city of the red flame
A flying vehicle stopped in front of the couple and the door opened
Come in. The person sitting inside said
The two people sat in front of the person inside and asked Darius
I thought you ran away with the money we gave you after you disappeared for two years
Ha ha ha, Mr. Darius, you are as interesting a person as I hear about you. Lloyd said
So what did I find out. Moral said impatiently
Hold on, Mr. moral, you'll be shocked by what you've learned over these two years. Lloyd said as he motioned for the driver to head to a certain building
After the three people got down and entered the building, Lloyd went down to the basement and Darius and muralle followed him downstairs
Lloyd opened an armored gate with an electronic lock and asked Darius and moral to follow him
Now we can talk comfortably. Lloyd said as he continued walking down the hallway, heading for a certain room
Well, Lloyd, What did you find out. Darius said
Lloyd entered the room, accompanied by Darius and muralle, and the surprise was
Lloyd What does this mean. Darius asked as he saw two seated figures
Don't worry, Mr. Darius, these are the people who will explain to everyone all the details
Lloyd sat at the head of the table and Darius and muralle sat on his right side
Pierce told the two gentlemen what we found out about the body. Lloyd said, putting his hands in his pocket
Pierce got up and said
After we were assigned the task, we thought that it was no longer just finding out the identity of the person and discovering the last place where he was, so we entrusted the matter to inexperienced informants, but after a while we noticed a strange thing is that all the informants who were assigned had disappeared under mysterious circumstances
You mean someone got rid of them. Sal Darius
Pierce shook his head and continued
That's when we realized that it was more complicated than we thought, so Mr. Lloyd decided to send the shadow unit to find out the truth of the matter and find out what happened, and here things began to take a scary and unexpected turn, we found out that this was related to the top leadership of the federation and they had withheld information for some purpose.
Darius and muralle exchanged glasses of caution and asked Darius
You mean it was the union that got rid of the informants
Trust Pierce with his head and continue
We tried to find other ways to find out the identity of the body through information brokers on the black market, but no one knew anything about the body and the deceased person did not exist, but using the genetic match he managed to get a place where we could look for any information
We have discovered that the name of the owner of the body is called Miller Levan and he was one of the bodyguards of the second heir to the ancestor of the abductor blade, he lost contact with the second heir during the Battle of steel sheaths on the northern front three years ago and they found him only a week later, he is between life and death and needed several months to restore his health.
You mean the body belongs to one of the bodyguard of the second heir, who supposedly fell in the Northern Territory. Sal Darius
Pierce shook his head and continued
The question is how the body of one of his bodyguards arrived in the eastern region less than a year after the battle, this led us to doubt the reality of what really happened to the second heir, so we sent some of our men to the northern region at the place where the battle took place to confirm the place and it was a surprise, our men did not find anything, not even a piece of debris in the place, which made it more strange and prompted us to try to find any lead connecting us to the truth until they found it, he was one of the technicians responsible for designing and building the star gates at one of the companies affiliated to the Joint Regional Union Council in the northern region he said he is receiving requests from the Union to increase the production of enhanced guidance circuits The location of the gates is so high that it made him suspect that the federation is thinking of transferring all its citizens through the gates
You mean the federation is building Star Gates on the northern border. Sal Darius
Is it completely illogical, building gates to transport soldiers in battle is considered an absolute folly every gate needs between six and ten tons of Star veins a month there is no sane person to build a gate in a war zone unless. Moral said it nervously before stopping and thinking of Pierce's words and understanding something and was shocked
Unless there is basically no war going on in the Northern Territory. Lloyd said
Silence filled the hall before Darius asked in a serious and serious way
Lloyd, What is the truth about what is going on in the Northern Territory to the extent that the high authorities of the Federation keep it so secret
Mr. Darius, he answered your question Why do you want to know what's going on in the Northern Territory
Lloyd and Darius looked into each other's eyes for a long time until some of those present thought that a fight was about to take place before Lloyd sighed and said
Even if it means you lose faith in the Union and the narrative of the war we've all been fighting for the last twenty years
Lloyd said that as he looked at Darius, who still hadn't softened his gaze
He gestured to pierce to continue his explanation
After receiving this information, we slowly and discreetly deployed our informants throughout the Northern Territory over a period of six months
We have checked all the movements of the military fleet, supply routes and staging points until we have drawn a complete picture of the fleet movements
Pierce opened the photographic map and showed it to all those present in a three-dimensional form and a flag on five locations in the Northern Territory and completed his speech
Through our informants, we made sure that the fleets present at these sites do not leave their place until supplies are needed to be taken by another fleet and all the residents present at these sites or near them were evacuated to other places, although some of these sites are far from the areas of engagement
You mean that these sites have been prepared to be accessed by citizens and it is likely that the Stargates that are being built are located at these sites. Moral asked as he checked the colored locations on the map
Trust Pierce with his head and continue
Over the course of several months, we collected everything we could about these sites, and then we identified the most suitable site for hacking and found out what the federation is hiding in those sites
Pearce returned the map of the Northern Territory and said
I'm going to show you the video that was sent by the ship that we sent before it was destroyed by the fleet
Pierce started playing the video sent by the ship before its destruction was only thirty seconds, but it made Darius and moral stunned and shocked
