Chapter 109 - Shadow Moon XLIX

"Chinese? What's that?"

"It's an Old human language, many languages were lost after the apocalyptic war, and more were left unused after the integration of galactic language in the Age of Space Exploration." Said Eve.

"I see I remember learning about it in school that Earth used to have more than 1000 different languages. I still find it stupid whenever I think about it, I can't imagine a planet so small having more than 6000 different language how the hell can they effectively communicate with each other. Well, whatever. what does the inscription means?"

"According to the translation it's (Death Valley)" said Eve.

"That's it? What does it even mean? Well now that I think about it maybe it does make sense since there's a gigantic monster in there that are capable of piercing through a 10 or so meters solid reinforced steel wall. It should be some kind of warning I guess." Said Arc scratching his head.

"Eve do we know anything about this Death Valley?"

"They're a lot of reference regarding Death Valley but none actually referring to that steel door." Said Eve.

"I guess as much. I'm worried if that thing can disrupt our plan in Enigma City it'll be a waste if we have to abandon it after spending so much on the operation to take over it." Said Arc with a furrowed brow.

"Boss I don't think it will come don't to it Tom and the rest have bought significant firepower in that operation, after all, I don't think a mere monster can defeat them." Said Tiffa.

"No you got it wrong Tiffa, I'm not worried about them being defeated because I know they won't be, what I'm worried is the number of casualties it will bring to get that victory, I hate unnecessary death especially if it can be prevented." Said Arc.

"I see," Tiffa dint speak more as she knows her Boss personality it's useless to convince him, since to him the life of his men is more important than any money spent.

"We need countermeasures against the thing inside that Death Valley. Eve runs a simulation to counter-attack those things."

"No problem Boss"

...….

"Speed up the process of taking over the rest of the City, and send the remaining Idle force to back up Wedge. Ordered Tom."

"Yes, sir." Although they were curious about the sudden change of plan they didn't ask any question.

Tom massage his glabella it has become a habit as of late.

"Biggs! Hmm, what's up to Tom? Something happens?"

Biggs was surprised by the sudden call from Tom in his private Comm.

Something indeed happens, check your comm I've sent you a file.

Very quickly Biggs checks the Video file, it's the same report of Brutus from Shadow Unit.

"Hmm, that going to be a problem," said Biggs.

"I know what to do, Tom. Where almost done here I'll back up Wedge as soon as possible." Said Biggs.

"That would be for the best, the faster we ended this fight the better we can prepare." Said Tom.

"But doesn't that monster makes your blood boils Tom?" Said Biggs Grinning.

"Haha that so like you, to tell you the truth it does. I really want to fight with it." Said Tom.

"Well we will have our chance, for now our Boss dream is more important than any desires we have." Said Biggs.

"You don't have to tell that, well I'm also looking forward to seeing our Boss dreams come through." Said Tom with a smile.

Talking to Biggs relaxed him a little, after that he continues to Command the Army but this time they are no longer taking their time.

Wedge is busy making preparation for the coming assault from Li Fang Army.

Sheng too was busy briefing Li fang Army on the strategy on how to deal and fight the Grand Army.

"Sir the additional Swarm is here"

Good! Said Wedge with a smile he was excited about the coming battle.

Bang! Boom!

Artillery and long range Canon continues to fire nonstop preventing any enemies from getting close, and drones continue to defend the air above the grand army, making all long-range missiles ineffective.

But enemy canon also continues to fire preventing the Grand army from recklessly charging in. But one step at a time the Grand Army is advancing.

"Sir we spotted warbots in the enemy camp."

"How many?" Ask Wedge.

"200 and counting look like it's coming from the underground, so we're unable to spot it before."

Land mine is an effective way to counter warbots, but this time they can't use it as they want to finish this war ASAP.

"Prepare the mini guided missiles. Those things are ineffective against jet fighter but against any land machine it's deadly, unfortunately, we only have a limited number of them but this time I'm authorizing the use of all of them." Ordered Wedge.

"Yes, sir!"

"And equipped the Beta and Gamma squad of rocket launchers have them prepare to intercept the enemy warbots"

"Right away sir"

Wedge step out of command vehicle, the moment he steps out the sound of artillery and cannon fire welcomes him in full blast. Inside the command vehicle is soundproof so can't hear the actual explosions, he can only hear it through the speakers.

But the loud sounds of Artillery and canon fire didn't bother him, in fact, he kinda enjoys it. Every fire of the artillery and canon is like music to his ears.

He steps in the viewing platform, its an elevated platform to better observed the ongoing fight many soldiers are in the viewing platform they all wearing advance binocular, and they are observing and reporting at the same time many elevated platforms are scattered at the back of the army 10 kilometers away from the battlefield above one of the tallest hills, in here they can safely observe and command the battle field.

Countless drones are in the air above the command center to prevent any air attack.

Looking at the battlefield he can see the ongoing stalemate. And although the Grand Army is advancing their advance is so slow one can barely notice it.

Then he notices something and smile... "Its time," said, Wedge.
