Chapter 415 Planning
On October 12th, at an alien base on Mars, seven representatives from various factions, including the Setan, Kiel, Dane, and Bozan aliens, attended a meeting to discuss their Earth conquest strategy. They were gathered to discuss the repeated setbacks they had suffered in their attacks on Earth.
General Babar, the commander-in-chief of the Kiel aliens' Earth conquest, looked at the conference room, which was packed with people. Today, not only were their seven main representatives present, but also many high-ranking officials from various planets. At the same time, these highest-ranking officials from their respective planets were watching the live broadcast of this meeting.
After everyone was seated, Keltilan, as the commander-in-chief of the Earth conquest operation, summarized the current situation. He slowly said, "On September 21, 2026, our allied forces simultaneously dispatched troops of varying sizes from the lunar base, the Earth's deep-sea base, and the ground base to launch an attack. However, apart from South America, Africa, West Asia, and Central Asia, we encountered fierce resistance in other areas. After several hours of fierce fighting and heavy casualties, we still failed to completely capture the main strongholds of the Earthlings."
Bozan representative Bos stood up angrily and said to Ingram and Little sitting to one side, "This is all the fault of these two good-for-nothings, especially Little. I strongly suspect that he is a traitor to our allied forces." Although Little was only a science officer on Kiel, a rank lower than Ingram, he naturally wouldn't back down when facing the relatively weak Bozan aliens.
He slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Boss, you are making baseless accusations, saying I am a traitor to the Allied Forces. Do you have any evidence? If you are just making baseless slanders, I will make sure you die here today."
Bozan's representative, Bos, stood firm and addressed the crowd: "Gentlemen, you must know why our attacks on Earth have repeatedly failed. It's because Earth has seen a surge in superhumans and awakened beings. And incredibly, not long after, level 12 and even level 13 powerhouses have appeared among humanity. The Asian campaign commander, Arales, a level 13 powerhouse, died at the hands of an Earthling. Tell me, isn't this Little's fault?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to whisper amongst themselves. Heynckes, the representative of the Dane aliens, then stood up and said, "Spreading a virus that wasn't fully understood onto Earth, while it did drastically reduce the human population, also created a group of very strong human warriors. According to our careful investigation, currently, apart from South America, Africa, West Asia, and Central Asia, which we have occupied, there are approximately 10 billion humans in other regions, and among them, the number of those with superpowers and awakened individuals is at least a million."
An adjutant added, "Moreover, the growth rate of human superhumans is very fast. We put the data we collected into the computer and made a relatively reliable conclusion. Based on the assumption that there are one million superhumans, the number of superhumans at level 10 and above will not be less than 300,000."
Upon hearing this number, gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd, and the discussion grew louder and louder. Keltilan patted the table, signaling for everyone to quiet down.
He slowly began, “We’ve gathered here today not to boost the morale of others and diminish our own. We’ve come all the way from the center of the Milky Way and have already conquered more than a dozen planets. Even the Interstellar Alliance’s Hylan Star doesn’t dare to say anything to us, and we’ve also conquered Merar Star, which has a history of tens of thousands of years. Even if Earth’s combat power is indeed the strongest we’ve encountered so far, it’s still just a third-level intelligent planet. Conquering it is only a matter of time.”
He continued, "Currently, Emperor Notos of Kiel, King Beman of Bozan, and King Ismail of Dane are all on their way to this Martian base to personally oversee the battle. Marina, the strongest of our seven executives from Setan and ranked first, has also set off and will arrive here soon to assist us in the battle."
Marina, a member of the space pirates and the strongest being on the planet Setan, is at the pinnacle of the seven executives. Deeply loved and respected by the other six, she is the de facto leader of Setan. Because the other six are already incredibly powerful, during the conquest of other planets, neither the Setans nor the inhabitants of other planets have ever witnessed her in action. Keltilan, the strongest of the six executives, once said, "Even if all six of us attacked at full strength, we would struggle to withstand three moves from Marina."
Hearing Keltilan's words, everyone's confidence returned. Sitros, standing nearby, pulled up a large map of Earth and began making arrangements: "Currently, we have three main areas of attack. The first is Western Europe, which will be handled by the combined forces of the Kiel and Bozan aliens led by Babar. The second is North America, which will be handled by the Dane aliens and the remaining allied forces. And finally, China will be handled by the Setan warriors, personally led by Keltilan and myself. You all have 24 hours to prepare. We will attack together, and whoever defeats their opponent first will have the right to distribute the various regions after the complete conquest of Earth!"
Everyone stood up, staring intently at the map on the large screen, their minds racing with various thoughts. Meanwhile, in Dawn City, Li Chenglong, Yunlan carrying Li Yunhao, and their companion disembarked from the X2 passenger plane. They had set off at 7 a.m. that morning to visit their former commander, General Sun Tianlong, at the Qianyun Base.
The main purpose of this visit was to fulfill various orders placed by the Qianyun Base, and also to treat the old commander's injuries. General Sun Tianlong was severely wounded while fighting zombies at the beginning of the apocalypse, resulting in the loss of his left arm and left eye, and severe disfigurement of his left face. Although he also became a superhuman in that battle, his injuries have prevented him from fully utilizing his combat abilities, and have also caused him many inconveniences in his daily life.
Li Chenglong first went to the relevant departments at the Qianyun Base and delivered all the items on the order. After collecting the final payment, he went to the command center of the Qianyun Base. Yun Lan was sitting there with her son, chatting happily with Generals Sun Tianlong, Han Baisheng, and Wang Juanjuan, and told them that Li Chenglong was going to treat the old commander's injuries.
Sun Tianlong was initially skeptical, because he knew his injury best. He had previously consulted many superhumans with strong healing abilities, including Li Xue. However, since he had already lost his left arm and his left eyeball, those superhumans were completely helpless.
Seeing that the old commander didn't believe her, Yunlan took out her crystal phone and played a video recorded by someone else showing Li Chenglong treating his severed limb. After watching it, everyone looked at each other in astonishment, as if they had witnessed a miracle. General Sun Tianlong watched the video again before asking, "Comrade Yunlan, is this real? It's not photoshopped, is it?"
Yunlan knew that words were ultimately insufficient, so she said, "You'll understand once he comes and treats you." Little Li Yunhao, who was eating a Flame Fruit, heard his mother say this and replied in his childish voice, "Grandpa Sun Tianlong, calm down, calm down." His childish voice and earnest expression made everyone burst into laughter.
At this moment, Li Chenglong knocked on the door and walked in. He saluted and said, "Greetings, three commanders. I am Li Chenglong of the Dawn Army of Dawn City reporting for duty." The three returned the salute in unison. Then Wang Juanjuan nodded and said, "This must be Lieutenant General Li Chenglong. He has achieved such great results at such a young age. He is truly a rising star, surpassing his predecessors."
Li Chenglong introduced, "This is General Wang Juanjuan from the Yanjing Base. She's currently the only female general there, and also a Level 12 Awakened." Li Chenglong smiled and shook hands with Wang Juanjuan, then continued, "I've heard of you before, and it's great to finally meet you today. I hope you'll have the opportunity to visit Dawn City and offer some guidance to our Dawn Army." Wang Juanjuan laughed heartily, "General Li, you're too modest. I'm not capable of instructing you now; let's learn from each other. By the way, we heard you're here to treat General Sun's illness. Let's get down to business."
Li Chenglong first examined General Sun Tianlong's left shoulder, then his left eye, and had a general idea of what was going on. After a brief discussion, Li Chenglong began the treatment.
Because General Sun Tianlong had been injured for nearly three years, and his injuries were quite severe, requiring treatment of his severed left arm, disfigured left face, and missing left eye, the treatment process was rather lengthy. Twenty minutes later, Li Chenglong withdrew his life energy and said with a smile, "Old Commander, are you satisfied with what you see?" As he spoke, Li Chenglong took out a full-length mirror and pointed it at General Sun, who still had his eyes closed.
General Sun Tianlong slowly opened his eyes, immediately feeling his vision broaden. Facing the mirror, he looked at himself and rubbed his eyes. After a full thirty seconds, he raised his left arm and touched his newly formed left cheek with his left hand, his fingers trembling slightly.
Han Baisheng, Wang Juanjuan, and the others were all amazed by this miracle. Wang Juanjuan exclaimed in surprise, "Even when I saw Yunlan's video just now, I couldn't quite believe it. But now I can say with 100% certainty that this is a miracle, no, a divine miracle." Han Baisheng laughed heartily, "The newly grown arm and left cheek are just like the skin of a newborn baby. It's too delicate for an old man like you, Sun Tianlong."
General Sun Tianlong, still immersed in excitement, realized upon hearing Han Baisheng's words that his newly grown skin was indeed exceptionally good, even better than a girl's, resembling that of a child. Especially his face; the right side showed signs of age, while the left side was incredibly smooth.
Li Chenglong stroked his chin: "Old Chief, this is all we can do now. You are now a Level 11 Ability User, and you look much younger than before. I believe the skin on your left side will soon recover to be similar to the right side."
Sun Tianlong waved his hand: "No, I'll be overjoyed to grow a new arm. A slight difference in skin color is no big deal. I won't say anything to express my gratitude. Your whole family must come to our house for dinner today. I'll make the arrangements right now."
That noon, Li Chenglong, his wife, and their children had lunch at Sun Tianlong's house. The old general's entire family expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Li Chenglong. Because the battle situation was still quite complicated, the three of them flew back to Dawn City that afternoon aboard the X2 spaceship.
