Chapter 473: Victory Conditions

Stannis glanced at all the people he had left behind, who could be said to have sworn to follow him after a hundred battles, and he could trust his life to them.

"Boss, I have a very bad premonition, you deliberately left us behind to definitely have an extremely dangerous task for us to help you complete, isn't it? Is it too late for me to apply for withdrawal?"

Robert, who already knew everything about what Stannis was thinking, guessed what he was thinking at once.

"Yes, only a few people present are aware of this mission, and apart from that, only Patkins and Hillier know about the plan. ”

"Brother knows, too?" Evelyn glanced curiously outside, as her brother hadn't told her about it.

"Yes, Yoyo, your brother knows about this, so he also knows that his mission is to drag the enemy in front of us to buy time. "Finally, this time Stannis said his true purpose, and this is how this last battle ended.

Robert nodded a little knowingly, "I see, boss, you want to use all your forces to launch a feint to make a decisive battle with the enemy, and you launch a decapitation operation against the enemy's leader." ”

Stannis snapped his fingers and threw an approving look at his little brother, "That's right, so this operation must be kept absolutely secret, and I have selected the most elite people." ”

"So, my lord, do you know where the Abyss Lord is hiding?" asked Korodov this time.

Stannis smiled confidently, "You don't have to worry about this, I have roughly confirmed the location of the King of the Labyrinth through the information obtained through Jebertai's reconnaissance, and now the fate of this country and even this world has been pinned on us, if we fail, then everything here and behind us will be in ruins as we see." ”

"Then how do we enter the city, Your Excellency, I have seen that the city has laid an anti-hidden barrier, and if you want to enter by airship, you are destined to become a living target!"

Of course, Stannis also knew that Romon Advisor was worried, so this was also the reason why he carefully asked Speer, who was driving the airship, and from his mouth, Stannis knew that the direction of the retreat of the Kuroshio of the besieging northern army was in some mines 15 miles away from here, and those underground monsters used the dark web composed of underground rivers and abandoned mines to move back and forth freely, and they were elusive.

And now they are going to use these underground network tunnels in reverse to smoothly approach Baili City.

"But, Boss......"

Robert wanted to say something more, but was ruthlessly rejected by Stannis, "I'm sorry, this mission is not successful, so this plan will not accept any rebuttals, and to be honest, I have already told Hillier that if this operation is not successful, let him hunt down anyone who survives." ”

Robert gasped, he didn't expect this guy to be so ruthless.

"Alright, let's all get ready, I'll tell Pedro, he'll send us to the tunnels where the Kuroshio Tide has receded in an hour, and then wait for a general attack here to draw all the enemies through. ”

With that to the point, the others had to go out at once to prepare, and soon, Stannis was left alone in the conference hall.

He carefully checked the equipment to be prepared for this operation, especially the weapons to be used, a large sword, two long swords, a war hammer, and seven throwing knives for self-defense.

The surface of each weapon had been carefully wiped by him, and the cold glow reflected was unbearable to look at.

Just as he was about to clean it up again, he heard someone walk in behind him, and even if he didn't, he could tell who it was.

"You should be lying in bed and recuperating. ”

It was Jebertai, who was badly wounded, but the latter appeared to have recovered from his injuries, and the bandages he was wearing had been torn off by himself.

"It doesn't matter, Khan. In the final moments, you always need the best warriors. ”

Now that Jebertai has said so, Stannis can't say anything more, he just happens to be in desperate need of manpower, and one of the best Eastern Scouts is indeed his ideal teammate.

"Well, since you insist on going, I have no objection, but you have to go back and get ready, for we will leave in half an hour. ”

Stannis smiled back at him, he didn't really want to put too much pressure on his people before the big fight.

It's just that this smile is too fake, Zhebotai didn't say anything, but he suddenly pressed his hand on Stannis's shoulder, and said in a heavy tone: "Stennis, are you sure you are ready to face everything, even if this truth may not be what you imagined?"

Stannis was baffled by what he said.

But he didn't know that the Oriental man in front of him had a thousand years of wisdom, and unfortunately, the Oriental man was always right.

Soon, the most elite team of this team was ready, and they all stepped on the deck of the airship in silence, because in order to stabilize the morale of the army, of course, Stannis and they would not leave here in front of everyone, and in this remote corner, no one would know what kind of great thing they were going to accomplish.

"Alright, everybody's on board, take off!" Stannis made a spiral take-off gesture to Speer, the engineer, and after a palpitating crunch, the airship finally wobbled to its feet, and soon turned on stealth mode and disappeared into the sky.

"Are you sure it's here?"

Stannis looked back and asked Speer again, but the engineer, who had always been arrogant, gave him a thumbs up and signaled good luck.

"What the hell is this!" Stannis shook his head helplessly, since everyone else had jumped, then he couldn't stay here anymore, and then he had to jump vertically off the deck of the airship with black armor, and after touching the ground, he didn't even bend his knees before rolling sideways and hiding in the rubble.

"Is there anything unusual?" he immediately asked Robert, who was coming down earlier than him, who shook his head and said there was no problem.

Under the cover of the stone, Stannis slowly poked his head out to look at the entrance of the cave, and the dark underground entrance seemed extremely calm, and it seemed that there was not even a single scabbed xenomorph guarded inside.

Robert said to him in the lowest voice, "Shall we go in?"

But Stannis shook his head and said that there was no need to hurry, now all they had to wait for was for the army of the large battalion to launch a general attack on Baili City, and at that time, it was time for them to act.
