The Magician of Sound - Chapter 564

Two weeks later, Ria Ross was meeting with the president together with all generals and S Rank Magicians.

It was a huge conference room as they had so many things to discuss.

“So, how is the situation going?” President Brent asked. “Have you gotten any news from Kai Carter?”

“Our last contact was one week ago.” She shook her head. “There was nothing much to talk about to be honest…”

“What do you mean?” The president and many generals furrowed their eyebrows.

Although they didn’t admit it openly, they knew Kai was a genius in warfare and his strength was beyond their comprehension. And Kai not giving them much information truly felt like he was abandoning the battle.

One of the generals raised his hand and asked, “Do you have any idea how many enemies we are going to face? Kai Carter has a secret influence, right? He should have some information.”

The other generals remained silent, listening to Ria’s answer.

To his surprise, Ria laughed at his question.

“I’m sorry, I know that you are our General of the Army, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to laugh at this serious question.”

“Hahaha, sorry.” Ria had a hard time stopping and waved her hand. “I just couldn’t help it after getting the answer from Kai a week ago.”

“Do you know anything?” President Brent asked with a serious expression. “How many are there?”

“Truthfully… He also doesn’t have an idea.”

“Ehm…” President Brent scratched the back of his head. “Then, why are you laughing? I can’t find any reason for you to laugh at that question.”

“Y-yeah. But if you know the power of our enemy, you will stop bothering with the number and just bring all your soldiers to the battlefield.” She shook her head helplessly.

“What do you mean? We have gotten a good idea of their power. I believe our firepower and manpower are enough to deal with them.”

“Ah, you mean the ones on the battlefield back then? They can’t be compared to their king or you can say their leader.” Ria shook her head.

“Ehm… What?”

“Well, I can’t really say it this whole time because it will just anger the other party and send their army to us faster than we expected… but now that we are already in this state, I can say it freely.” She smiled. “Do you remember when our soldiers and generals lost their memory for a few minutes and the next thing they realized was an empty battlefield?”

“Y-yeah.” Brent nodded with a serious expression while other generals began to whisper, trying to figure it out.

“That was done by another party with just a single wave of his head.”

“!!!” All of them suddenly rose from their seats with shocked faces. Even President Brent was no exception.

“Why didn’t you tell us?” Another general shouted in anger. This was a piece of very important information that could overturn the entire situation.

However, Ria only laughed it off. “What? Can you do something about it? No, I should ask you this… Can you stop a tornado or a storm?”

“…” The room was silent as they had no answer until Ethan answered, “We can redirect it. With enough power…”

“Yeah. If it’s a tornado, we can stack up the walls and destroy the air current. If it’s a storm, we can redirect the water. However, we have no idea about our enemy’s power and when they are gonna attack us.” Ria sighed. “Tell me, do we have enough resources to create one countermeasure for everything?

“Then tell me where they will attack us? Argentina Base? Paraguay Base? Or even directly to this base?” Ria shrugged. “If you have the answer, do tell me. Even if you can reinforce one or two, they may change their direction and attack us from the place we least expected. At that time, we’re making our situation even more dangerous.

“Many citizens will die in the process and the damage is too great for us to bear. That’s why I didn’t tell you. Instead of increasing the unknown factor, I am going to let the enemies pick whatever they want. At the very least, they will attack us from the shore.

“If they come to our base, we fight them in North or South Carolina and so on with all directions. That’s why this is better.” Ria shrugged. “And if I leak the plan, they may know about it… Considering they have a spy on the EU Base and United Asia while we haven’t even found one in this base. You know what I mean…

“I need you to remember one thing. We are dealing with someone that can cause a natural disaster as if flipping his hand. Can you understand that a small trick won’t work against him?” Ria Ross let out a long sigh.

Ethan looked down and closed his eyes, not having the answer to her question.

If they brought a storm with them, the soldiers would have a hard time dealing with them because their movement would be restricted while the enemy was like a fish in the water… literally.

“In that case, what is his plan? Did he tell you anything?” Brent asked.

“He only told me to move as many soldiers as possible. There is a high chance that the enemies will hit our base directly, which is good. Set up several defense lines and don’t engage their king. He will take care of him.

“And because their fight will cause massive destruction, he can’t give a single command and plans. That’s why he wants all of us here to think about countermeasures ourselves instead of relying on him.” Ria smiled and said to the generals. “That’s why we are here discussing this matter, right? Let’s start the meeting for our biggest war in history…

“All of you have those four stars on your shoulders. Are they decorations? This is not a small-scale war like what you have experienced in your life. We will bring at least two million soldiers to the battlefield and the enemy will surely bring more as you can’t count how many fishes are swimming in the ocean.”

She hit the table with her forefinger and announced with a grim expression. “Everyone… Make no mistake. This is a World War.”
