At Citroën Machinery Company, an emergency meeting is currently taking place in the large conference room on the sixth floor of the main building.
An entire floor-to-ceiling window was covered with blinds, blocking out the midday sun and all prying eyes.
Some of Citroën's senior executives and managers sat around the spacious conference table.
The light from the incandescent lamp above their heads fell, casting a shadow over the serious-looking participants.
"Chief Engineer Xu, when will the warship thrusters and psychic blockers be shipped?"
Li Hao, the company director sitting at the top, tilted his head slightly and asked Xu Xing, who was sitting in the first position on his right.
Xu Xing reported in a blunt and cold tone.
"The warship thrusters and psychic blockers ordered over there have been completed."
“All products undergo finished product testing, three rounds of quality inspections, and final testing.”
"Currently, all psychic blockers have been loaded onto the ship, while the warship thrusters are still being transported."
"We expect loading to be completed before 5 p.m. today."
Li Hao frowned when he heard that the move had not been completed.
Xu Xing immediately knew what the other party was thinking. He spoke in advance, "We have confidentiality requirements, so there shouldn't be too many shipping workers."
Li Hao thought for a moment, then said to the head of the loading and filling department who was sitting some distance away from him.
"Let the workers currently at the harbor warehouse seal the containers first, and then we'll assign more people to load them onto the ship."
"Also, you and the route management should go to the scene and keep an eye on it to make sure nothing goes wrong."
He also knew that the more people there were, the easier it would be for the news to leak out.
But this batch of goods is of great help to the front line. If used properly, it can even influence the situation of some small and medium-sized battles.
Every second counts on the battlefield, and he doesn't want to delay any longer.
So he gave the order.
"All preparations must be completed before four o'clock. The cargo ship must depart at four o'clock!"
"clear."
A group of supervisors in charge of product production and transportation responded in unison.
Then, this impromptu meeting ended quickly.
Those who had received tasks and those who already had work all left the meeting room at a rapid pace.
After a while, the mahogany door of the conference room closed again, and only Li Hao and Xu Xing were left in the huge place.
"Chief Engineer Xu, how's the lunch break going?"
Hearing Li Hao's question, Xu Xing said in his heart, "As expected."
He didn't waste any time and blurted out the contents of the report he had read before the meeting.
"That bastard has temporarily taken control of the Bo Xi family and is now leading his men to Mao City."
"With the resources above as bait, more than half of the noon market families have moved out together."
"They are expected to arrive at Shengtian Public School around five o'clock."
Li Hao pondered for a moment, then said, "Delay them a little so they arrive at dusk."
"The turmoil at Shengtian Academy caused more losses than expected. Let's give the people from the aristocratic families some time to recover."
"Although we all aim to weaken their strength and influence, they are still the fighting force of the human race. It is better to have fewer deaths."
"Um."
The two of them quickly discussed the next general action plan and left the meeting room one after the other.
Xu Xing walked quickly towards his office on the sixth floor, where his assistant was waiting for his next instructions.
The eyes behind his square-framed glasses were filled with cold calmness, making him look like a machine operating efficiently.
When he entered his office and closed the door, the first thing he said to his assistant was, "Let the defense team go out to sea for patrol now."
"yes!"
The assistant took immediate action and connected to the communication equipment of the Academy Island Defense Force.
He made an exaggerated report to the guards and then cut off the communication.
Xu Xing, who had already walked to the bookshelf, immediately gave instructions again after his assistant calmed down.
"Have someone keep an eye on the changes in Shengtian's situation and guide the unrest to calm down as soon as possible."
"We'll tally the casualties of the academic clique later."
"Also, let's keep those of us in the lunch hour hidden and don't act rashly."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
He spoke very quickly, but his assistant was obviously used to it.
The assistant bowed the moment he finished speaking, then immediately retreated to the door, turned around, opened it and left.
Relying on his memory, Xu Xing found what he wanted among the identical folders on the bookshelf on one wall.
He pulled out three documents and opened them. Two of them contained all kinds of intelligence on all forces in Mao City and Wu City.
The last one is a notice about assisting in regaining actual control over the estuaries of the two rivers.
The signature on the notice seems to be from an agency directly under the leadership of a high-level human being.
…
On the other side, in a dark and damp palace, a group of guys with horns and scales on their foreheads stood in a row respectfully.
They had just finished reporting the unusual movements at Citroën when they heard a majestic yet young male voice coming from the darkness.
"Well, next, the human race's top leaders will start to control the situation in secret."
The leading guy answered immediately.
"Yes, Your Highness, our people in the Seeking Knowledge Society reported that some humans are deliberately guiding the unrest to subside."
"Also, the tribesmen monitoring near the shallow sea have discovered the supply ship of the human leaders."
"It is expected that friction will occur between the two human forces tonight, and most of the combat power of Mao City will gather on Academy Island."
"By then, there will be loopholes in Mao City's defense."
The shadowy figure in the dark was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then gave the order, "When the time comes, fight quickly and decisively."
