Xiu Zetian had a gloomy expression on his face, his eyes turning purple from his excitement. His fists were clenched as if he was holding back his anger.
Seeing Xia Fei, Xiu Zetian nodded to him and said, "There's no time to prepare. You need to join the operation immediately. Get on the ship and set off in five minutes!"
"Yes!" Xia Fei puffed out his chest and replied.
* Whoosh ~ *
The fastest and most advanced battleship of the 29TH Corps, the Dark Harbor, quickly entered the sea of stars and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Xia Fei and his colleagues from the 29th Division stood guard in the assembly room, quietly waiting for Xiu Zetian to assign them the mission. Those newcomers clearly had killing intent, and it was obvious that they were people who had been on the battlefield all year round. Not only were their ranks high, but their auras were also aggressive. It was unknown where Xiu Zetian had gotten these people from.
Xia Fei chatted with Xiang Ying and Hao Lin, who he was familiar with, hoping to get some information about this operation. Unfortunately, this operation was very sudden and mysterious. Even these two old men from the 29th Division had no idea.
* Bang ~ *
The alloy door opened, and Xiu Zetian strode in, clad in silver armor. All the warriors present stood up and saluted.
"Sit!" Xiu Zetian sternly said. "This operation is very sudden and of great importance! That's why none of you know what our objective is, but I can clearly tell you that this operation is very dangerous, very dangerous! If anyone is unwilling to participate in this secret mission, please leave the conference room immediately! "
The room was silent. Though there were people muttering, no one was willing to leave.
"Okay! I'll begin assigning orders. All teams from the 29th Division will maintain their current organization. The new brothers from the Black Ops will form the sixth, seventh, and eighth teams, a total of eight teams. All of you, listen to my orders! "
There was a stir in the crowd. It turned out that these temporary warriors were from the Black Ops!
The Black Ops had always been known for their ferocity, and they only carried out death missions. In other words, they took lives! They were basically a bunch of executioners! Unlike the 29th Division, though they also killed people, they were mostly on investigation missions.
Sweeping his gaze across the room, Xiu Zetian continued. "Deserters will be killed! Defiant and disobedient will be killed! Collaborators will be killed! Cowards will be killed … In an elegant garden. In a newly built wooden hut.
An old man was playing chess with a yellow-faced middle-aged man.
Xia Fei had guessed correctly. Elder Ye was Zhiqiu, one of the Five Elders Peaks of Annihilation! The yellow-faced man opposite him was Zhi Qiu's military advisor, Liu Shuting.
"Old Ye, Xiu Ze Tian's people should have already moved, right? Liu Shuting asked as he picked up his teacup after placing his stone. It was not just Xia Fei; even Liu Shuting addressed him as Old Ye. Because old man Zhiqiu's full name was Ye Zhiqiu.
Zhi Qiu was no longer a member of the Ye Family, but the backbone of the entire Annihilation. Ye Zhiqiu needed to hide his surname.
Zhiqiu nodded and said, "They're moving out. With the twenty-nine locations and the pursuit location, they shouldn't lose."
Liu Shuting smiled faintly and said, "Xiu Zetian wants to know who killed his wife, and he's almost going crazy thinking about it. Leave this matter to him, and I'm sure he'll take out 200% of his energy. It's just that I'm a little worried that if Xiu Zetian really finds out who it is, it might create a disadvantageous situation for you."
Zhiqiu chuckled. "I want to know the truth, too. Otherwise, I wouldn't have placed Xiu Zetian in such an important twenty-nine locations. No matter who it is, hiding it from this old man won't make me happy. Let's get to the bottom of this first. Let's find out who's behind this. "
Liu Shuting asked without batting an eyelid, "What if we find out who those four are?"
Zhiqiu was startled, then he asked in a deep voice, "Are you referring to us brothers?"
"Yeah." Liu Shuting nodded. "Aside from you guys, there's only Wang Dingtian and the others left, and Wang Dingtian and the others no longer have much to do with Annihilation, so they can be considered their own faction. That's why I have a feeling that the chances of you finding out who those brothers are is very high. "
Liu Shuting's words were not without worry. As the military advisor, he also had to warn Ye Zhiqiu.
Annihilation's Five Elders Peak was the last five members of the older generation of Hero Alliance who were still alive. Though Zhiqiu had the highest status in the Five Elders Peak, it would not be good if he really found out who the other four were and they got into a fight, for it would affect the unity of the upper echelons of Annihilation.
Based on Liu Shuting's opinion, it was better to turn a blind eye and muddle through it.
Zhiqiu disapprovingly said, "I'm not trying to fall out with anyone, but I don't want anyone to do things behind my back. Take that little monster Xia Fei who recently appeared as an example. As long as he's loyal to me, it doesn't matter even if he has the Demon Race bloodline. Isn't he still living well?"
Liu Shuting nodded and said in admiration, "Your tolerance is naturally impressive. Not only is Xia Fei a descendant of the Demon Race, but he's also related to Universe 8's Sunshine Family, the Chu Family that protects the Garden of God, the soul pets of the Four Great Sky Demons, and Wang Dingtian and the others. Even so, you can still tolerate it, which shows that you're not narrow-minded."
Zhiqiu laughed heartily and said, "This is the difference between hiding it from me and not hiding it from me. I naturally have something on Xia Fei. His family is under my control, so I'm not afraid of him disobeying me, but there's always someone obstructing my investigation all these years, and that's something I can't tolerate.
"No matter what, I must find out who it is and why they're hiding it from me."
Liu Shuting said, "That's why you borrowed Xiu Zetian's knife."
Zhiqiu's eyes revealed a hint of pride as he lightly said, "So far, Xiu Zetian's knife has been quite useful. That demon Xia Fei has also cured this old man's chronic illness. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"
At this point, Liu Shuting and Zhiqiu smiled knowingly.
…
* Whoosh ~ *
The Dark Harbor stopped on a brown planet. Looking out, there was an ancient city on the planet, occupying half the planet.
The people from the 29 Divisions and the pursuit division gathered in the command center once more. Everyone curiously looked out the window at the planet, guessing what kind of place it was.
"There's no need to guess. This is Britania, once an important and largest secret base of the Demon Race!" Xiu Zetian said.
Everyone exclaimed, and even the people from the pursuit division appeared quite surprised. Xia Fei pursed his lips. This operation was indeed related to the Demon Race, or else Xiu Zetian would not have deliberately waited for Xia Fei to arrive before setting off.
Sweeping his gaze across the long-abandoned planet and the ancient city, Xiu Zetian said, "I've received news that Britania is hiding a group of people, and these people are very likely traitors of Annihilation! Our mission is to dig this army out of Britannia! Even if we have to dig three feet underground! We won't hesitate!
"Right now, Annihilation's hyperspace chain has locked onto Britania. No one can leave this planet, and there's no communication device to contact the outside world. Those enemies already know that we're coming and are insidiously hiding in the abandoned city.
"Once we enter Britania, we'll lose contact with headquarters, and we can only rely on ourselves! Headquarters has already given a death order! Unless we completely wipe out the enemy, we won't be able to leave, so this is a thorough clean-up operation. There's no way out! "
Everyone was stunned. It turned out that other forces of Annihilation had already taken control of the planet, but in order to capture them alive, they needed to take the risk to enter and engage the enemy in close combat. The 29 Divisions and the pursuit division were responsible for the clean-up mission of entering Britania, clearing out the enemies one by one.
Such a mission was, of course, extremely risky. After all, it was a charge where blood was shed, and the order to leave as many people alive as possible added a lot of uncertainty to the mission. If it was just killing, it would be easier to destroy the planet. It seemed that this group might be hiding some secret, perhaps even related to the death of Xiu Zetian's wife, which was why Xiu Zetian looked so angry.
After thinking about it, Xia Fei followed Xiu Zetian and the others into a landing ship and landed around Britania.
There were five teams from the 29 Divisions, three from the pursuit division, and Xiu Zetian's command team. Nine groups of people were scattered around the abandoned city, entering from nine directions at the same time to thoroughly investigate this city that used to belong to the Demon Race.
Xia Fei was in the command team, working together with Xiu Zetian, Xiang Ying, and the others.
Britania was very much in the style of the Demon Race, and it used to be the place where the Demon Race trained their secret warriors. Just like Annihilation, the Demon Race also had their own secret division. All warriors had to live here and undergo cruel trials and tests before they could finally enter the most mysterious department of the Demon Race.
From now on, no communication equipment could be used, and everyone could only rely on their own abilities to deal with unexpected situations.
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh *
Xiu Zetian took the lead, leading the command team along the wide road into the abandoned city. There were searchers in every team, and without the support of any equipment, it was all up to them to find traces of the enemy.
The speed of the operation was not fast for Xia Fei, and he did not encounter any resistance along the way. About twenty minutes later, the eight teams met in the square in the center of the city.
"Where's team three?" Xiu Zetian asked in a low voice.
"The third group is being led by Hao Lin, and they're going southwest. According to their schedule, they should be meeting us here. Could there be any problems?" Xiang Ying was startled and said.
"Speed-type, fall out! Head southwest to pick up team three! "Xiu Zetian ordered in a deep voice.
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei received the order and sprinted southwest. He did not expect that there would be two other warriors in the team who were also speed-type, and they were both from the pursuit team.
However, these two were far inferior to Xia Fei, at most five million meters per second. Xia Fei had no choice but to lower his speed and move alongside them.
"There's a sniper ahead at eleven o 'clock," the man on Xia Fei's right said in a low voice.
With that, the two warriors from the pursuit team suddenly separated, leaving Xia Fei in the middle of the road as a target while they moved into the shadows.
Xia Fei frowned. These two speed-type warriors were from the same department and had great teamwork. It seemed that they did not take him seriously and did not intend to team up with him.
That was when he saw a cold light coming toward him. Xia Fei, who was originally moving at five million meters per second, suddenly accelerated diagonally! In an instant, he increased his speed to thirty million!
He dodged and attacked in one go!
