The next day, they met up in Lion's group room before setting off with their helicopters together.

Kai looked at the same middle-aged man, their pilot. He shook his hand and nodded with a smile. "We will be counting on you again."

"Leave it to me."

They flew to the sky and arrived at British Columbia Military Base in a few hours. Luckily, they flew at dawn, so they arrived before noon.

A guy with orange hair immediately approached them as soon as they descended as if he knew Kai and the others would arrive at this time. He straightened his back and saluted to Kai.

Kai looked at him and furrowed his eyebrows. Of course, he didn't forget to salute back.

"First Sergeant Baran greets Sir Kai Carter. I'm honored to be under your command again, Sir."

"Again?" Kai widened his eyes and wondered which battle he was talking about.

"Yes. I was with you in the battle for Underground Nest Subjugation. I was a part of your unit previously, Attacker Units."

"Oh!" Kai nodded and smiled. "I am sorry to not recognize you."

"Haha… It's normal for Sir. I only need to take care of a hundred men below me while Sir has six thousand men. This time, Sir will lead one hundred men to the magical beast's territory, so I will be your assistance in this battle to make sure the soldiers here follow Sir's order." Baran said excitedly. He was one of the few people that had been graced by Kai's strategy, so he knew Kai's prestige was genuine. He originally hailed from this base, so he was excited when he heard that Kai would lead another mission.

Kai nodded solemnly, "I want to talk it out later since I still need to meet with this base's general."

"Yes. I will lead you to him." Baran smiled while stretching his hand to the side, asking Kai to follow him.

"How about the others?" Kai didn't follow him immediately and glanced at Michelle and the others.

"Oh. I was too excited earlier." Baran shook his head before looking at the guy behind him. "Herman. Can you guide the others to their places? I will be taking Sir Kai Carter to the general."

"Sure."

Kai glanced at him and thought for a moment. 'Now… I need to see this person who is called a demon by his own son. After that, I will pick up the soldiers, rest for a day, and immediately leave the base… Unless I can cooperate with him.'

He followed Baran silently, going inside the base before reaching a door at the end of the corridor. He had no interest in the base itself since it was only for a resting place for him.

When the door opened, he felt a fierce aura coming from the room, raising his instinct. Kai put his guard up and narrowed his eyes, looking at this middle-aged man. His spiky yellow hair increased his fierceness. Coupled with the beard running through from one side of his ear to the other ear made him look like a lion. His muscular body was perfectly hidden underneath his green military uniform.

"So, you are Kai Carter… No, should I say Second Lieutenant Kai Carter?"

Kai saluted. "You can call me anything you like, Sir."

He released his killing intent that he got after killing so many magical beasts in the front line.

Kai furrowed his eyebrows and stood without having a single change on his expression as if he didn't feel a single thing.

"Hmph!" Brad harrumphed as he retracted his killing intent and said. "Come in. I have received the mission for the headquarters to assist you, and that guy over there will lead the rest soldiers for this mission. Because of the danger of this mission, I decided to send at least Corporals to assist you. They, at least, have a year of experience as soldiers. Do you have any problem with it?"

"No, Sir." Kai shook his head.

"The headquarter said your brain is exceptional, and if possible, I should listen to what you have said. I will give you a chance. What will be your order if you have the command over this mission?"

Kai was surprised. He thought he wouldn't have a chance to give even a single input, but the general didn't seem to be like the one Bryan described yesterday. Although he released that killing intent, he only wanted to test him. Kai couldn't sense a single thing as to why such a person would sacrifice his own wife.

Little did he know that Brad only let him speak because he passed his test with flying color. It was rare to see someone standing in front of his aura, and that person was also this young. The same as Kai, he didn't know that Kai was immune to killing intent, not because of his strength and experience, but his memory of dying almost eleven thousand times.

"If I may speak, then I would like Sir to be ready to deploy the soldiers. At least, prepare the missiles. I know it's costly due to the fact that we need more powerful missiles to kill magical beasts, it is still more effective than deploying the soldiers." Kai said with a solemn expression.

"You brat, are you going to joke with me? Don't spew a bullsh*t in front of me!" Brad slammed his table and showed his teeth a little bit.

"I am not saying bullsh*t. I have two people in my group that can be useful for this operation. The first one has a kind of time bomb while the other one has a Space Element. By combining these two powers, I can gather many Magical Beasts nearby. If General deploy the soldiers at this moment, we can strike many magical beasts at once. I am sure it will help Sir's problem too." Kai wasn't flustered and explained his reasoning.

"Hmm…" Brad furrowed his eyebrows after hearing about the two people under Kai. He realized that Kai already prepared the plan previously. "You still haven't calculated two things. Firs is the potential of flying magical beasts. Bringing those land beasts is indeed easy, but it will be different for Flying Beasts. The moment they come, my soldiers will become their prey.

"The second problem will be the reaction of nearby magical beasts. You must have known that the magical beasts will join forces if they hear other magical beasts screaming for help. There will be a huge chance that the beasts will come and attack our base. As expected, your brain is exceptional, but you need more experience to make sure you don't make a mistake." Brad threw hard criticism.

Kai furrowed his eyebrows. "It is true that there will be a chance for the magical beasts to attack this place as an after effect. That's why I am going to check whether such a plan is possible with my ears. Just like Sir knows that Magical Beasts has their own territory, so I am searching for a gap."

"You want to utilize the gap between them and measure how loud an explosion you can make?"

"Yes. My hearing can range up to five kilometers, so I can observe them and signal the soldiers to bombard them. On the other hand, we will leave without doing anything if we have no gap to exploit."

"Hmm…" Brad looked down, weighing something in his mind. "Can you even control the sound? The explosion is hard to control, let alone the sound."

"I can simply look at it right now. The most direct method will be to check how big the explosion should be, and my ears will check it. It's that simple." Kai shook his head with a smile.

"Enough of your babbling. I won't take this suggestion because there are many uncertainties."

'It's still useless, huh…' Kai closed his eyes and thought. 'Still, there is another thing that concerns me…'

"If you don't have anything to say, have that guy explain the current situation, location, and path."

"Still, General, I need to ask you to ready the soldiers," Kai said with a solemn expression.

"Haven't you said enough?!" Brad slammed the table once more. "I am still the general of this base while you are only a mere second lieutenant. Even if the Government acts, I am still not in the wrong!"

"I only want to tell you one thing that is coming from the so-called experience," Kai said in annoyance, taunting him. "In the last Subjugation Mission, I learned that they could control the magical beasts with a single roar. If they were to unleash it, it would be catastrophic for your base, especially your unprepared base."

Brad wanted to release his aura but retracted it before even letting them out. He knew that he was taunting him, but it would be trouble for a general like him if he couldn't see the severeness of this matter. "Alright. You have my words. All soldiers will stand by tomorrow."

"Then, I have one last thing to ask."

"What?!"

"I want to bring a radio with me. I will not use it if there is no real threat, so it should be safe to bring it. The moment the magical beasts suddenly have a weird movement, I will inform you and come back to the base. Will that be alright?" Kai asked with a serious face.

Brad thought for a moment and nodded. "Fine. I will give you a radio and clear the channel just for tomorrow. Your team will need to cross the road for three hours before reaching the front line, where you need to go on foot. Prepare yourself."

Kai saluted. "Yes, Sir."

"Have that guy explain everything." Brad pointed his finger at Baran. "You two are dismissed here."

Both saluted once again and left the room.
