Chapter 784: Everything Under Control

“It doesn’t matter whether he is strong or not.” As a Hail Cloud citizen, Redington was very clear on what sort of place Aisbotan was. He was even clearer how insignificant humans were under this type of snow storm.

You don’t say, Wang Zheng’s disappearance actually gave him a feeling of relief. This person could always give his opponents great stress.

“That’s true, let’s wait a few day before the good show starts.”

Shien laughed. A person who did big things never cared about the details. He would let Ai Xiaolu live for a while. The bait had already been bitten, so the plan had no more problems.

Looking at Ai Xiaolu’s back, Shien let out a smirk. What the Ai Financial Group caught was only the bait that they released. That was prepared just in case. He did not expect that the Ai Financial Group really caught it. This was really unexpected. But then thinking about it, that was logical. They were after all they were an old family of the Hail Cloud Alliance. They were like a big tree with deep roots.

Except even in their dreams, they would not expect the biggest killing move to have arrived.

This snowstorm came at the right time!

The patrolling team’s search range was very wide. The other people on the other hand continued training as planned. Snow Li and Ai Xiaolu could only wait. After waiting the whole day, there was still no news at all. But not only were there no news on Wang Zheng, even the search team was gone.

No one would ignore this matter. The whole base entered a state of alert. Wang Zheng was after all one of the true elite students of the Elite Academy X and had a secretive background. Even though they knew for sure that there was no hope, they still had to make a show and carry out the necessary moves. They sent out six patrol teams and not one actually made it back. This obviously meant that something big had happened.

At this point, the alarms of the base suddenly sounded. The Ice Spear City had entered a complete state of alert. There was an incoming attack on the base!

Aisbotan was a very deserted planet. The armies that were based here were very small. They only handled the daily maintenance of law and order, or some other little matters. After all this was the territory of Hail Cloud Alliance. In addition, the order in space was always very good. Besides, there were only mines here. Even if the pirates came, how much could they ferry away?

After all this was not as valuable and rare as the super gravitational energy ore mines. Hence, even using their butts, they could see that there were no benefits to robbing the mines here.

However, if this was for political advantages, then it was another matter.

The alarm sounded. It was especially melodious to Shien and Redington’s ears. Originally, the military power in the base was not much and they had sent out many to search for Wang Zheng. Just right, all was lost. This also reduced a lot of trouble for attacking and invading Ice Spear City.

“I didn’t expect Wang Zheng’s death to be so useful.” Shien smiled. He did

not have much contact with this person. He did not expect him to unexpectedly aid him.

Redington smiled slightly. “Not only that, we might make a big story out of this thing.”

“Oh?” Shien thought about it and immediately understood. Wang Zheng and Ai Xiaolu no doubt were good friends. This thing was not a secret in Hail Cloud. Ai Financial Group and KING Company’s cooperation was also considered a beautiful tale of the business world. Even the Hail Cloud Alliance wanted to strengthen their ties with the Solar System Federation. The Solar System Federation had a political position but no power. To ally with such a federation was no doubt very suitable for the current international situation. Hence, recently there were quite a number of good news for the Ai Financial Group but this was not good for the Cronode family.

However if this was a trap for Aisbotan laid by the Solar System Federation, represented by Wang Zheng and Ai Financial Group, the whole situation would change.

This was most likely even more offensive than the original plan by the Cronode family, especially when Wang Zheng was dead and could not speak for himself. To the outside world, they could even say that Wang Zheng actually did not die and he was the bait.

As for whether the members of the council would believe, that was not important as long as they did not have the evidence.

Most students had a blur facial expression. They did not know what had happened at all. Ai Xiaolu’s facial expression was on the other hand extremely bad.

She knew that she fell into a trap this time. Not only did she fall into a trap, the results were most likely to be difficult to control.

Snow Li was after all not a normal person. After listening to Ai Xiaolu’s analysis, she had already at the moment pushed down her worries for Wang Zheng.

“Xiaolu, could it be that you have over thought this. It is not easy to air drop a troop of soldiers onto Aisbotan. To do it without anyone knowing is even more difficult.”

Ai Xiaolu shook her head. “Under normal circumstances this may not be possible. But previously, Hail Cloud Alliance had a large scale mine business deal. If it was arranged at that time, then the situation is different.”

“You mean that this group of people had always been hiding at Aisbotan?”

Snow Li was also very horrified. It also meant that this plan had been prepared for at least half a year of time. And of the surrounding planets, only Aisbotan was the most suitable. The environment here was harsh and there were ice beasts. Not to say hiding an army, even hiding a fleet would be easy.

And with the cover from Cronode family, this would be easy. You could only say that the Cronode family was very ambitious.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Their opponent was the Ai Financial Group. How could they not take it seriously? It was also no wonder why the Cronode family could grow so quickly. They executed plans with careful details and were ruthless.

It looked like Shien’s entrance into the Academy and coming here was part of the plan. It was obvious that he as the family heir was here so that he had an alibi. He would not be considered as entirely innocent but at least he had some defence. The Cronode family was all along bold and ruthless. They never sought total perfection. As long as there was a 70 to 80% chance of succeeding, it would be worth the risk. Hence they were always the victorious party in the end. At a time when others would have plenty of considerations, they had already started to execute their plans.

Ai Xiaolu looked at the world outside. The Ice Spear City now had become a visibly vacated city.

It was difficult to rely only on the remaining troops of the Ice Spear City and these Elite Academy student soldiers to repel the invaders.

And at this moment, an announcement was made in the base.

“All warriors and students of Elites Academy please pay attention. I am Shien Cronode. I will be temporarily in charge of commanding what will happen during this emergency situation.”

Who was Shien?

Obviously no one would care, especially at such a moment. Who were you to take responsibility just by declaring that you would take responsibility, who did he think he was?

But the surname Cronode was famous throughout the Hail Cloud Alliance. If you did not know this, you would not really be considered as a Hail Cloud citizen.

“Students of the Elite Academy X, please pay attention. I am Redington from Xuan class 1. I will be supporting Shien Cronode’s command. Now that it is an emergency situation, please prepare for battle. All students report immediately to the armoury.” Redington’s voice was filled with an unquestionable aura.

As a famous powerful person from Xuan class 1, and with outstanding performance during the Elites competition, at this moment there were not really anyone who could rebut him. The quality of Elite Academy X was relatively high and the students immediately rushed towards the armoury. There was even a hint of excitement. They did not expect to experience a war here.

In the command room, Shien Cronode and Redington exchanged a confident smile that showed that they had everything under control.

The events unfolded even more smoothly than imagined. What if they were met with an attack?

Of course, the first thing was to contact the outside world but the reception was interfered with. The enemy had strong interfering jammer which was now being handled by the specialised technicians. They were responsible for solving this problem. The second was to protect the safety of Ice Spear City. action

There was no doubt. It was a matter of human life.

Then as for the other matters, they could not spare extra concern.
