Chapter 358: New Mission

Upon hearing Elsie's resolute declaration, the atmosphere on the scene became lively once again. The soldiers of the Skull Special Forces couldn't help but feel excited, raising their fists in unison and shouting, "We believe in the leadership of the Savior! The Savior is humanity's savior! Following the Savior, we can win the battle! Under the wise leadership of the Savior, humanity will surely rise again! Long live the Savior! Long live humanity!"

Watching the loyal soldiers express their loyalty, Elsie and the group of saviors behind her all smiled with satisfaction, occasionally raising their fists in response to the soldiers' support. However, for some reason, Haoyun, who stood far behind the crowd, always felt something peculiar behind the smiles worn by these saviors. How should he put it? Haoyun always felt that the saviors were using their smiles to cover up their smugness and arrogance.

"Lady Elsie, can you now assign us the new mission?" Eva respectfully asked Elsie after the atmosphere had been warmed up.

Upon hearing this, Elsie pinched her chin with her fingers and thought for a moment before saying, "Due to last night's sudden attack, the enemy forces stationed in the three o'clock direction of Reynata City suffered heavy losses. The Sabbatarians should also be afraid of their mothership being attacked again by that unidentified force, which is why they have shrunk their offensive formation into a defensive one. Therefore, we speculate that Sabbatarians will not rashly launch an attack on us again in the near future. However, considering that Sabbatarians' military forces are not completely eliminated, this ceasefire is only a temporary adjustment made by them."

"In addition, based on our recent predictions, the lighthouse in Terlayeh City is highly likely to be lit again in the coming days. We are not sure whether the event of Sabbatarians' mothership being attacked last night is related to the upcoming lighting of the lighthouse. But what we can be sure of is that it was the abrupt interruption of Sabbatarians' attack on Reynata City that gave us the opportunity to observe the lighthouse."

Elsie took a deep breath and continued, "Therefore, we have to speculate whether the mysterious force that attacked the Sabbatarians' mothership last night intended to create an opportunity for us to observe the lighthouse. Because the appearance of that force just before the lighthouse in Terlayeh City is about to be lit is indeed too coincidental. Especially when we were just one step away from deciphering the Sabbatarians' code, the appearance of that mysterious force becomes even more suspicious!"

Then, Elsie pointed to the Skull Special Forces and said, "You must take advantage of Sabbatarians' temporary peace and hurry to Terlayeh City to observe the imminent beacon. However, since this opportunity was created by that unidentified force, and we do not know if their purpose was really to help us? Therefore, you must be extra careful when you act, to avoid falling into the enemy's trap!"

Upon hearing that they were going out again to perform an observation mission, the members of the Skull Special Forces were immediately interested. Everyone was now eager to move, looking at Elsie as if expecting her to immediately announce the start of the operation.

Seeing the eager appearance of the soldiers, Elsie smiled satisfactorily and said, "Brothers, there's no need to rush. If our speculations are correct, there is still some time before those beacons are lit. Therefore, we have plenty of time to rush to Terlayeh City. However, before that, we must focus our energy on the Sabbatarians outside. Because apart from confirming when the Sabbatarians will launch another attack on Reynata City, we also need to determine if they will make any other moves in the next few days. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous for you to pass through the Sabbatarians' defensive positions without knowing the situation. Moreover, we don't know if that force will strike again tonight. Therefore, in the next few days, we should stay put and continue to closely monitor the direction of the Sabbatarians' defensive positions."

Haoyun and the others could tell from Elsie's words that she valued the force that attacked the Sabbatarians last night more than the Sabbatarians' military forces stationed around them, which made them even more vigilant. Because although Haoyun and the others could shield their own aura, if Elsie was also a priest from the Spirit God Realm, then she might indeed have sensed a trace of the divine energy from the series of explosions last night. And once they discovered the divine energy from the Spirit God Realm, they would inevitably react.

Therefore, Haoyun and the others must not easily use their divine power now, and must hide their actions well. In this way, once Elsie and the others react, Haoyun and the others hiding in the dark can judge based on Elsie and the others' actions whether they are priests sent down from the Spirit God Realm to perform special tasks? Or are they rebels who deliberately caused trouble here because they betrayed the Spirit God Realm?

Since Elsie determined that the Sabbatarians were unlikely to launch an attack on Reynata City tonight, coupled with the fact that the Skull Special Forces would go on a more important mission in a few days, Elsie announced that the Skull Special Forces could stay in the city to rest, so that they could go to Terlayeh City with a better mental state to perform the upcoming observation mission.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

Time passed quickly until the afternoon. With a series of lazy yawns, Karl finally stretched lazily from the bench, sitting up, "Ah—hoo—! Hey, guys, are you awake?"

"Oh, I just woke up too. Ah! Sleeping for a while makes me feel so refreshed!" Haoyun hurriedly pretended to yawn in response. But although he said so, Haoyun, who had long been a half-human and half-god physique, did not actually sleep just now. He only pretended to sleep and integrated into the sleep of other teammates, using this time to restore his mental strength and discuss various insights from last night to now with Dao Lao and Dream Jia in his consciousness.

"Hey! I'll have another piece of chocolate cake after waking up. Life is simply better than a fairy!" After greeting Haoyun and the others, Karl took out a piece of chocolate cake made by Delon and said.

"Brother, do you eat it? I only have a few pieces of cake here! Ah! After eating these cakes, I have to wait more than ten days before I can eat the cake made by Delon again!" Karl carefully examined the piece of chocolate cake in his hand, and then sighed after taking a light bite.

Although Carl handed over the backpack containing the cake to Haoyun and the others, his expression betrayed reluctance. After all, these cakes were mere sustenance for others, but to Carl, they seemed more like an emotional anchor.

Seeing Carl's melancholic expression, Dream Jia first pushed away Haoyun and Dao Lao's reaching hands from the backpack, then said with a wry smile, "Forget it! We still have plenty of military rations here, so we won't eat your rich chocolate cakes! But seriously, why are you so melodramatic? We're just going out on a mission, not leaving forever. Why make it seem like a farewell? Aren't you afraid of jinxing us?"

Carl looked at the chocolate cake he had bitten a small corner of for a while, carefully wrapped it back up and put it back into the backpack. Then, he spoke with a rather mature tone, "Ah! How could those of you who are always together understand the longing of those of us who wander around?"

Indeed, when it comes to emotional matters, once men break free from thinking with their lower body parts, they can reclaim the high ground of emotional intelligence and even become more sensitive than women. Moreover, they might become profound philosophers who understand the hardships of life and speak eloquently.

Seeing the envy in Carl's eyes as he spoke, Dream Jia immediately frowned and interrupted, "Alright! Alright! We know you're a big romantic at heart! Enough already! Carl, since you're awake now, can you please give us a detailed introduction to the observation mission?"

Dream Jia's question was direct because she had been very interested in the missions undertaken by the Skeleton Special Operations Team from the start. However, due to their status, they hadn't been privy to the details of the team's missions. Even after passing the assessment and officially joining the team, the sudden attack by the West Bo people on Leinata City had delayed their inquiry. Now, with the team receiving another observation mission, Dream Jia finally had the opportunity to ask Carl in detail about it.

One might wonder, since Haoyun and the others had already joined the Skeleton Special Operations Team, why not ask the other members? Why wait for hours for Carl to wake up and provide answers?

The reason was simple. Previously, Eva had handed Haoyun and the others over to Carl's leadership, and they preferred not to interact too much with other team members to avoid trouble. Therefore, although Haoyun wanted to know more about what Elsie had mentioned about the observation mission and the lighthouse, they patiently waited for Carl to wake up and explain. Given their rapport with Carl and his easy-going nature, even if they touched on sensitive questions during their inquiry, they could expect detailed answers.

Carl straightened up and began to explain earnestly, "Our squad specializes in executing missions that are both important and unique. Among these specialized tasks, the most crucial is the lighthouse observation mission. This mission is primarily conducted in cities controlled by the West Bo people. We enter these cities and wait for the lighthouses within them to be illuminated. Then, our observers measure the flashing lights atop these lighthouses and bring back this data to headquarters for the Savior to analyze. Once we gather sufficient data, the Savior can decipher a code. With that code, we can unlock the doors to the West Bo invasion command center. If we can breach their command center directly, we might dismantle their entire offensive and reclaim our world!"

"I see! So, what exactly is this lighthouse then?" Dream Jia asked. Given the wealth of information in Carl's explanation, Dream Jia felt it best to ask her questions first and then request Carl to respond in order.

"The so-called lighthouse is those tall, ugly-looking, red buildings with a lot of eyes all over them! I think you must have noticed those massive lighthouses in Terlaih City, right?" Carl said, illustrating the shape of a lighthouse with his hands.

"Oh! You mean those giant smokestacks? So those buildings aren't chimneys but lighthouses?" Haoyun exclaimed, finally understanding.

Carl continued with exaggerated gestures while describing, "Exactly! Those red, pillar-shaped buildings that resemble chimneys are the lighthouses. The West Bo people occupy our cities and construct these types of lighthouses in many urban areas. These lighthouses remain in standby mode throughout the year and only light up once during extremely rare circumstances at night. When illuminated, a powerful beam of light shoots up from the top of the lighthouse, piercing through the NX atmosphere of the Earth and extending into outer space."

"According to the Savior, these beams of light serve as a means of communication between the West Bo people and their command center. However, since the West Bo people do not frequently contact their command center and have built numerous lighthouses on Earth, it's challenging for us humans to pinpoint when and where exactly they will use these lighthouses."

"So, you rely solely on the information provided by the Savior to timely and accurately locate which lighthouse will be illuminated and then rush to observe it based on the Savior's information?" Dao Lao asked.

"That's right. Only the Savior has the ability to foresee the time and location of the lighthouse lighting," Carl nodded in response.

"But how did Elsie make such precise judgments?" Dream Jia asked, furrowing her brows.
