#586 - Chapter 586: Taking Advantage of the Situation
"That's right, the Myriad Laws Sutra."
"It is said that once a Metahuman breaks through to Tier 5, their abilities will undergo a qualitative leap," Koyako Kamata affirmed.
"How much of a leap?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"One person can destroy a country." This was something he made up to exaggerate the danger of the sacrificial ceremony.
"Is the information accurate?" Dongfang Chen asked seriously.
He was preparing to feign compliance.
"Absolutely accurate," Koyako Kamata replied solemnly, secretly pleased.
It was good that he was taking the bait.
"You've done well. This matter must be stopped, or everyone will suffer."
"Please give your orders!"
"The Okshung plan is to launch a surprise attack on Modo during the military exercises. Your mission is to cooperate with their actions," Dongfang Chen said.
"So, Dongfang Chen really knows the true purpose of the military exercises!" Koyako Kamata's eyes lit up.
Koyako Kamata understood that Dongfang Chen was going to great lengths to test him. And now, he had passed the test.
"Mr. Dongfang, we are currently stationed in Damascus under orders, and it may be inconvenient to take action," Koyako Kamata said, feigning difficulty.
Agreeing too readily would seem unreasonable.
"That's your problem, I don't care. I give you 24 hours to lead the fleet to Istanbul and await further instructions," Dongfang Chen said sternly.
"This..." Koyako Kamata did not answer immediately.
"You will bear the consequences if you fail!" Dongfang Chen added.
"...Yes!" Koyako Kamata replied.
"Dongfang Chen, just wait, I'll make you wish you were dead!" After hanging up the phone, Koyako Kamata revealed a sinister smile.
He thought Dongfang Chen had taken the bait, but little did he know that the hook was caught in his own behind.
Immediately, Koyako Kamata hurried to the Council of Elders. There was no other way to communicate.
Meanwhile, the three warships arranged by Dongfang Chen, fully loaded with crystal cores and the Queen Bee, had also passed through the airspace of the Oros Republic and arrived in the Okshung Federation.
"General Weil, I need you to prepare 27 warships," Dongfang Chen contacted Weil and said.
"What? Mr. Dongfang, you're going too far. Do you think Okshung's warships are blown in by the wind?" Weil roared angrily.
He had previously promised Dongfang Chen that he could provide some convenience for gathering information on Modo.
But the cost of 27 warships was too great.
He had no doubt that once these warships entered Modo, they would be doomed.
"If these warships are damaged, I can compensate you," Dongfang Chen said.
"No, no, no. Our soldiers cannot be sacrificed at will either," Weil's tone softened a little, but he still disagreed.
"They can be remotely piloted, no one needs to be inside," Dongfang Chen explained.
"What? No one needed? Then what do you need these warships for? Don't forget, once they enter Modo, these warships will lose control," Weil reminded in surprise.
"I have my uses," Dongfang Chen said.
"Are you sure you can compensate?" Weil asked.
If no one was needed and the warships could be compensated, then it didn't matter.
Anyway, there was no loss, he could do whatever he wanted.
"Sure. And I can install protective shields for you," Dongfang Chen replied very confidently.
"Okay! Tell me, what do you want to do?" As soon as Weil heard that he would also get energy shields, he no longer hesitated.
"In a few hours, the warships of the Great Sun Nation will arrive in Istanbul. I hope that before that, the 27 warships you prepared can be in place and docked with the warships I sent," Dongfang Chen said.
"The warships of the Great Sun Nation? You're confusing me," Weil didn't quite understand.
"They are my subordinates," Dongfang Chen replied.
"I see. In that case, why do I still need to cooperate with you?" Weil asked.
"They have their own mission," Dongfang Chen replied.
"I understand," Weil nodded.
"That's it then," Dongfang Chen was about to hang up the phone.
"Mr. Dongfang, let me emphasize again, don't forget our agreement," Weil reminded.
"I won't," Dongfang Chen said and hung up the call.
Inside the Council of Elders.
"Elder, Dongfang Chen was indeed testing me. He is indeed aware of the purpose of Okshung's military exercises," Koyako Kamata reported.
"Did he take the bait?" the elder asked.
"I think he definitely took the bait," Koyako Kamata replied.
"What you think is not important, the facts are important," the elder corrected.
"The elder is right. Dongfang Chen gave me an order to go to Istanbul," Koyako Kamata added.
In his opinion, Dongfang Chen giving this order meant that he had taken the bait.
If he didn't plan to get involved in this mess, he wouldn't have sent him there.
"It seems they plan to join forces to deal with us," the elder nodded.
"Yes. So what do we do next?" Koyako Kamata asked.
"Of course, we'll play along and see what their plan is," the elder said.
