307 Duehiri Part-2

Duehiri a desolate barren planet at first glance is actually home to a very important flora otherwise known as 'Rejuvenation Rose', a plant that is used to create most if not all of pills to treat petrified victims, an essential plant that is very difficult to grow and if not outright impossible, as such it is mostly harvested from the wild and Duehiri is one of the largest supplier as such it came as a shock for that place to be targeted when the place itself was highly guarded. Petrifaction a very dangerous condition as it causes every muscle in the body to freeze thus causing death due to suffocation, among many other ailments.

Elyrin frowned as she bit her lips as she spoke, "How fast the other battalions will be here?"

A Lieutenant Colonel by the name of Henry replied to her in gruff voice, "Madam, they will be here within 5 minutes."

Elyrin bit her lips and spoke in tense tone, "Not fast enough."

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "Madam we cannot hold any longer we have to act now, and I believe if we make a move now we can at least delay them long enough for the rest of them to join."

Elyrin nodded her head as she spoke, "Well my thoughts exactly as such Henry you…", whatever she was going to say was stuck on her throat as a messenger appeared, even if he had a stoic look on his face the messenger had looks of terror in his eyes.

Elyrin huffed at that as she spoke, "Report."

The man saluted to her as he spoke, "Madam a very odd gigantic contraption had been sighted near Duehiri."

Elyrin raised her eyebrow as she commanded her subordinates, "Follow me to the bridge."

As they arrived at the bridge Elyrin went a few shades pale as she spoke in a whisper, "I underestimated them, I severely underestimate", as she whispered she gritted her teeth before she took a deep breath to calm her raging emotions.

In front of them was a giant crab like being with 5 long legs, it was big enough to be as big as planet Duehiri and from Ryuu's memory it was at least twice as big as his previous home world Earth he had never seen o heard something like that not to mention at least a dozen ships as big as theirs standing by its side guarding it.

Ryuu turned towards Elyrin as he spoke, "Colonel Madam, if I may what is that contraption?"

Elyrin sighed as she spoke, "What you are seeing is something that had appeared only a couple of times and higher ups are treating it as a secret, we have named the thing 'The Snatcher', its purpose is to steal a planet and bring it to Preta Lok, and they have already stolen 2 planets in this manner, if we do not stop them it will be the third planet stolen."

Ryuu openly gaped at that as he thought, 'Steal an entire planet, how…..', before he felt a sudden urge to bash his head for his stupidity, 'How can I be so stupid, there are cultivators who could one shot a planet and I am thinking why a planet cannot be stolen, I am a colossal fool.'

Elyrin gritted her teeth as she spoke, "Change of plan, have everyone present engage 'The Snatcher' only after we have dealt with will we move to the enemy forces on the planet, when the reinforcement arrives divide them according to the situation as one will be our backup and the other will deal with those mongrels on the planet.", she then turned to Ryuu as she spoke, "You are a very high level array master are you not?"

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, "Yes Madam I am a GrandMaster Tier Array Master."

Elyrin had a small smile on her face as she spoke, "Excellent, you will join me, you lot will create a distraction while a group of 100 good soldiers will accompany me along with Ryuu as we board the Snatcher, it is a very good chance for us to capture one of them or at the best destroy it at the very least now move."

Ryuu bit his lips as he watched a strange gleam in his superior's eyes, he did not know what to feel about it, his superior was surely ambitious to assault a possible enemy stronghold like that took guts, but there was nothing he could do here that could produce possible better result than to deal with the snatcher first and foremost after all how are they going to be victorious if at the end of the day they still wound deep inside the enemy territory with no way for escape, although if he were in his superior's place he would have ordered the entire 139th to be mobilized, instead of a part of it at least then the superior numbers would have been evened out a bit.

Ryuu followed after Elyrin as she spoke, "Ryuu listen carefully we have to deal with the snatcher at all cost even our lives so do not hold back, from what we know that those things are heavily surrounded by arrays and you are our ace in the hole as such you are not permitted to fall until the bitter do you understand."

As Ryuu was about to speak the vessel they were travelling shook as distant boom was heard, Elyrin looked at a particular direction as she spoke while balling her hand in anger and nervousness, "It has begun."

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "Madam, there might be a chance that I …"

Elyrin raised her hand stopping him speaking as she spoke, "I know the arrays might be so strong that you might fail to breach them, and I know the plan will fail but there is nothing that I can help with it specially at this moment since any help we would request would take some time to arrive because of various reasons."

Ryuu nodded at that as they reached a large open area where at least a hundred soldiers were gathered who promptly saluted upon her arrival with Ryuu towing after her.

Elyrin studied her soldiers before she began in a calm tone, "You all have gathered here for a simple reason the planet sized thing is known as a 'Snatcher' it is used to steal planets and I do not have to tell you what would happen in case the planet and its inhabitants are dragged into 'Preta Lok'.", her eyes moved over her soldiers and saw some of them stiffen a bit at the news but schooled themselves fast, after all service in the military had made them more disciplined.

Elyrin began with a small sigh, "Before I begin I will say that our mission will be highly dangerous upon saying that does anyone want to leave, please do so after all upon finishing briefing you lots I will not allow to leave the mission as such does anyone want to leave."

Upon seeing no one wanted to leave a small smirk appeared on her lips as she spoke, "Good, if you would have left I would have tried you for desertion here and now, our operation is exceptionally important as our failure will cause the death or a fate worse than death for countless citizen of Duehiri, we are to board the snatcher than either commander it or destroy.", she waited for a few seconds for the information to sung into the minds of her subordinates before she began again, "Now, I know that the mission is extremely dangerous and many of you will be martyred today for the sake of the peace and stability, protecting countless lives of people in our realm for that you have my gratitude and thanks. Now move we will leave in three groups, I will take the middle group."

As they left Elyrin turned to Ryuu as she spoke, "If you see Halphine do not engage without me the man is not only craftier but extremely dangerous not to mention he is an Array master so be careful."
