Therefore, the Sakura Nation’s warships were just like the Western Empire’s warships, outside the Eastern Ancient Nation’s warning circle. However, this seemingly calm situation was actually just a cover-up for the conspiracy behind the scenes.
In the main ship’s conference room, Commander Matsushita looked at everyone present with a puzzled expression and said, “The genetic animals have clearly successfully landed on the island. Why is there no movement for a long time? According to their speed, they should have already appeared in the other party’s camp. Why didn’t they react?”
The officers present were also confused. They did not know much about genetic animals, let alone grasp their dynamics. Therefore, everyone’s gaze landed on the representative from the Mysterious Research Institute, Merrick. However, because of his high status, no one dared to ask.
Matsushita knew that if he continued to delay like this, he would not be able to complete his task. Hence, he quickly came to Merrick’s side with a flattering expression. “Mr. Merrick, why is there no movement after the genetic animals landed on the island? Did something happen?”
Merrick’s expression was gloomy because even he did not know what had happened on the island. The genetic animals did not bring the expected feedback. The military of the Ancient Eastern Kingdom still followed the same routine without any changes.
There could only be two possibilities for this outcome. Either there was something wrong with the genetic animals, or the other party had already been attacked and was deliberately pretending not to let anyone see through it.
Merrick and the others did not know that the genetic animals they had sent out had long died at the hands of the white monkey. And now, it was even buried.
In response to Matsushita’s query, Merrick snapped, “If there’s no movement, send out another batch of genetic animals! As long as we take down the ruins of the extraterrestrial civilization, would your country still care about such a small loss?”
When Matsushita heard this, he immediately revealed a troubled expression. Although Merrick made it sound so easy, the research of these genetic animals was almost exhausting the national treasury.
Merrick was only providing technical support, but Sakura was not going to save a single cent. Moreover, the mysterious research institute overseas was behind Merrick, and all the money would eventually flow back into their pockets.
The current peace seemed to be only because everyone was developing. No one could guarantee that the money would not turn into bullets and hit their own soldiers in the head. Therefore, among the orders Matsushita received, one of them was to minimize the losses of genetic animals and geneticists.
But so far, the 30 geneticists had already sacrificed themselves without contributing to the firepower. More than ten genetic animals had yet to return after landing on the island. This price was already not small. Now that he had to send out the remaining genetic animals, Matsushita naturally felt a little troubled.
However, this dilemma was noticed by Merrick, who immediately snorted coldly. “Matsushita, are you trying to disobey my orders? If that’s the case, we have to reconsider our cooperation with Sakura Country.”
Matsushita quickly waved his hand. He could not bear this responsibility. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and vent his anger on the soldier. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and carry out the order. The genetic animals from before must have attracted the attention of the ancient country of the East. We’ll change the route this time, send all these genetic animals up before they could completely seal off the island! If you can’t complete this mission, you can just wait to commit seppuku together!”
The soldier quickly passed down Matsushita’s order. The hatch that locked the genetic animals opened again. Currently, there are only 20 genetic animals left on the Sakakyo. This was one of Matsushita’s few trump cards.
Naturally, there was still a batch of the newest generation of genetic warriors on the ship that had yet to be mobilized. However, this was their greatest trump card. They would have to wait for the right time to strike and deal a heavy blow to the Eastern Ancient Kingdom so that they could take down the ruins in one fell swoop.
This was also the reason why they had spent so much effort and effort to finally drive the warship here silently, but had not done anything. They were waiting for the best opportunity to strike. Once they attacked, they would hit the vital points and take drastic measures.
After giving the order, Matsushita smiled and comforted Merrick, but when he turned around to leave, his expression suddenly became ruthless. It was obvious that he did not have a chance now. Otherwise, he would definitely vent his anger.
However, Matsushita still had to pretend. After entering the command room, he immediately began to try to contact the commander of the Western Empire’s warship. After the signal was connected, Matsushita changed his flattering attitude again and respectfully asked for benefits.
“General Hest, I’m Matsushita, the commander of the Sakura Nation’s fleet. The current war is already in a state of anxiety, and we have suffered heavy losses. Therefore, we hope that you can provide more support. If we work together, we will definitely be able to take down the ruins of the civilization!”
However, the bearded Hester was very impatient with the voice coming from the earpiece. “We won’t interfere in this battle. This is a matter between your Sakura Nation and the Ancient Eastern Nation. Of course, as friends, we will not sit back and do nothing.”
