Ace Of Terrans

174 First Strike.



Shi Lang stood at the spaceport with his team and Cara. In the past two days, the girl had become a tail of this group. She would follow whoever she thought was going to do something important and patiently learn from them. Every evening, she will ask them various questions.

The team also did not have any hesitation with her around, the reason? Her questions allow them to improve faster as well. Today was the day when the Secret division forces will arrive. Shi Lang was not wearing his normal uniform (They did not bring it with themselves, but can have it tailored here.)

Shi Lang was carrying his secret division mask with him, and his black clothes. In the morning, when he stepped out of the room. Cara was shocked and even feared him. Amelia told her that this was his uniform, only then did the girl calm down. Zysha was the especially friendly one with Cara. Feline maternal instincts said the big cat when asked by the others.

Nexalia, Ameris, and Claut were also present at the spaceport at the moment, they were going to welcome the delegation coming back home. Soon they could see the ships descending from the cloud.

Shi Lang used his mask and recognized a small vessel, he said, “Commander came personally.”

Darcx shivered, “You mean, her?”

Shi Lang nodded and Quinn asked, “What is happening?” in a confused manner.

The young man sighed and said, “You may not know, but this lady is the goddess of our secret divisions, her records if piled up, might shame a fleet general. However, she is a terror when she acts personally.

During one mission, it was suspected that someone leaked the information about her team to the target. The outcome was the death of one of her comrades. That was when she had just been enlisted. From then on, for the next three years, she hunted down every target alone, no one could catch her or know about her, finally after three years when she found the culprit, she killed him, and disposed of his body in the parliament.”

Rosa asked, “Why the parliament?”

Shi Lang said, “That person was a cabinet minister. This action was done to send out a message to them all. The secret divisions are not to toyed with and looked down on.”

The people nodded and Jenkins said, “No wonder you people from Secret Divisions are feared everywhere.”

As the crowd was talking, the spaceships landed at the port. Nexa came down and the guards gave her a guard of honor. The girl was very beautiful and she was followed by five people. Nexa smiled and came through the guard of honor, she bowed to Nexalia, who shook her head and embraced her sister.

The welcoming ceremony ended and the guards went back to their duties leaving the palace guards for security. The hatch of the black spaceship opened and Shi Lang took a few steps forward. His actions were noticed by everyone else. From the black spaceship, seven people wearing black uniforms similar to Shi Lang walked out, their faces covered with masks, with different patterns on them.

The atmosphere had turned solemn. Cara huddled closer to Amelia and Zysha. While the other Terrans sucked in their breaths. Nexalia asked in a low voice, “Is she strong?”

Her indication was obviously to the female leading the group. Ameris said, “She is at the minimum thrice stronger than Shusha Ace. That is a conservative estimate.”

Nexalia was alerted, this meant this lady could kill her. Do not judge her by her seductive figure, Nexalia was equivalent to a five-star Terran, however, she lacked battle experience.

Shi Lang saluted the lady and the group in front of him, and the lady asked, “Why have you put up the mask, did they not make you the honorary general of the allied forces?”

Shi Lang replied, “I have declined that position, Sir. I would like to serve under your command and learn better.”

Archie Arkham chuckled and said, “You despise the frontier forces?”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “They just lack the edge of our secret division.”

Archie Arkham nodded and said, “Here, before I left I had you reinstated under my command, also, you still hold the power to vote during the meetings, you know this place better.”

Shi Lang shook his head, “I am just put on the plate because the empress trusts me. The battle is being held in space, it has nothing to do with knowing the terrain better.”

Archie Arkham nodded and casting a gaze to the group of royalty she asked, “Introduce me.”

“Yes, Sir.” then Shi Lang led the group to meet Nexalia, he said, “Your Excellency, Nexalia Neytiri, the empress of Neomon Empire. Commander Silence, head of the secret forces.”

Nexalia nodded and said, “Thank you, for coming over and helping us in the time of trouble.”

Archie Arkham nodded and said, “We are allies. Pardon me for cutting the chase, I would like your permission to investigate the courtiers, and every one suspicious on the planet.”

Nexalia was shocked, she said, “I understand that you wish to make sure that we do not have any spies, but I also hope that you do not mind conducting this investigation under the supervision of my intelligence department?”

Archie Arkham cast a gaze to Claut, and then looking back at Nexalia, “We do not have any such problems, but if there is a leak in the intelligence department, pardon me for being rude, I will have it fixed.”

Nexalia nodded and then said, “Although you do not know diplomacy Commander Silence, I just hope that you win us the war, as for traitors, you can do what you see fit. They are a disgrace in our eyes as well.”

Archie Arkham nodded and said, “Here is a letter from the president. I apologize but Ace will be working beside me, his skills are better in the field. However, his team will be on the war council.” She took out a paper envelope from her side pocket and handed it to Ameris.

Shi Lang said, “Paper letters are the highest level of courtesy in The Federation.”

Nexa said, “He is telling the truth.”

Shi Lang cast a gaze at Nexa and nodded, the girl returned the gesture. Nexalia asked, “Shusha Ace, you had to secretly pull strings to get out in the battle, did you not?”

Shi Lang replied, “I apologize, Your Excellency, but when my brothers and sisters shed blood, I cannot stay inside the safety of the glass cages. However, my team will stay on the council and they will monitor the situation.”

Nexalia nodded and said, “I understand, I wonder if you can still take Nexa along. She will be able to learn, and I assure you, she will listen to all your commands.”

Shi Lang turned his head to Archie, who said, “The more hands the batter. We are going to initiate the first strike tomorrow, her highness is welcome to join the team under Captain Ace.”

Nexalia nodded and said, “Very well, then I will have her meet you before you leave for the attack.”

The people nodded and after settling an understanding they left for their respective accommodations. The seven from the secret divisions were staying in the palace with Shi Lang and the team.

In the evening, a war meeting was held, and it was attended by, Commander Archie, Shi Lang, General Ameris, Director Claut, and Her Excellency Nexalia.

The rest of the team stood at the side, with Nexa standing behind Nexalia. Shi Lang said, “The first thing is to settle the inside, the Shadow Executioners will be investigating the intelligence agency. While some the people will train the Queen’s snare.”

Archie Arkham nodded and said, “That is correct, Your Excellency, if there is no problem, please recruit more males to the forces. They will be giving us more power in these times.”

Nexalia nodded and said, “Although Neomons prefer to be led by Females, we do not have much bias against men. It is just a few things in history that led things to be this way. The throne will issue the command for recruitment with the first light.”

Claut then said, “Here is the initial war plan we came up with Captain Ace and his team.”

He began to show them all a holographic model of the schemes and strategies they all devised. Archie asked, “The authenticity of the intel?”

Shi Lang said, “The source is an offspring of the royal family. She has suffered a lot and gathered all this in order to seek revenge. It has been confirmed.”

Archie nodded and asked, “So, you plan to take out the battery first?”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Yes, sir.”

Archie asked, “Why not take the frontal forces?”

Shi Lang replied, “Frontal forces will reveal the attack. Plus they will also be preparing for war. Their fleets will have an easy time dealing with us. The navigation advantage is with them. What if we take the battery and then deceive them?”

Archie Arkham sat up straight and said, “The Blank Round?”

Shi Lang nodded.
