My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 443: Pre-war Rehearsal

Two burly men carried the Rebel Army’s flag at the forefront.

A large crowd filled with anger followed the direction of the flag, marching grandly under the night sky.

Wooden sticks, daggers, cleavers…

The weapons in these Rebel Army’s hands were of all kinds.

After all, the quantity of firearms was insufficient, and there was no way to equip everyone fully, so the vast majority of the Rebel Army could only use whatever was at hand.

But compared to the crude equipment, the Rebel Army’s gaze was quite resolute.

With so many comrades together, in a state of surging emotion, even death was nothing to fear.

Along the way, those civilians seeking a way out were, either voluntarily or forced, in all but one in ten cases, swept into the Rebel Army’s ranks.

This made the already numerous Rebel Army even larger in scale.

Seeing that the momentum was set, the sports student and that woman quietly slowed their steps and fell to the rear of the group.

And taking advantage of no one paying attention to them, they detached from the Rebel Army’s ranks.

The woman watched the Rebel Army’s ranks gradually recede into the distance, stretched lazily in a charming manner, and said, “Next, we still need to help them out, otherwise, with just this motley crew, it’s hard to pose a threat to the Forward Base.”

“I think the other colleagues will probably not miss such an opportunity, no need for us to intervene.” The sports student looked straight ahead, completely unaffected by the woman.

Their true identity was actually Mona Warriors.

Without a doubt, Li Shan’s whereabouts being exposed was no accident.

To be precise, including Li Shan subsequently using the [Empress Lü’s Human Pig Ritual] ability, it was all deliberately orchestrated by these two Mona Warriors.

……

So many people moving grandly together, even at night, made it completely unrealistic to hide their tracks.

In fact, when this Rebel Army was still a full thirty kilometers from the Forward Base, it had already been observed by the Security Department under the Unified Management Committee, and the matter was reported to the Unified Management Committee.

Faced with such a sudden event, the Unified Management Committee didn’t feel any threat at all, it was just that the number of Rebels was a bit troublesome.

After all, the Forward Base was established precisely to prepare for the war with the Mona People.

Although many facilities were not yet fully built, the Forward Base, existing as a war fortress, absolutely would not lack means to counter external enemies.

Some cold-hearted Unified Management Committee members even saw it as a good thing, barely usable as a pre-war rehearsal.

Inside the Forward Base, lights burned brightly as soldiers fully armed assembled at the fastest speed.

The already established Combat Command Center began to operate.

“From the currently known intelligence, the number of rebels is about 100,000, ninety percent adult males, few firearms, no heavy firepower…”

“Cannot rule out the presence of Death Fighters retaining abilities among them, request City Direct Martial Second Detachment for coordinated combat.”

“The rebels are still sweeping up civilians, total numbers continue to increase…”

A young staff officer stood up and asked, “I’d like to confirm first, what is the established objective for this battle?”

The hook-nosed middle-aged man tapped the table and said gravely, “The latest order from the City Association is—annihilate the rebels completely.”

These four calm words represented unimaginable bloody slaughter behind them.

However, no one in the command post raised any objection, accepting the order completely naturally and immediately beginning discussions.

“Understood, we can first build three-dimensional defense works and deploy high-saturation firepower strike platforms.”

“We lack satellites, heavy mechanized composite forces cannot use satellite guidance.”

“Correct, drone and communication balloon guidance has too many defects. Given that we cannot gain advantage in outer space combat with the Mona People, I suggest launching modular wartime satellites.”

“Agreed.”

From their heated conversation, it was clear.

These senior officers in the Combat Command Center didn’t take the Rebel Army seriously at all, their considerations were all for the subsequent war with the Mona People.

The Staff, based on the Rebel Army’s movement speed, estimated that the Rebel Army’s vanguard troops would arrive at the Forward Base in three hours, plenty of preparation time.

To avoid affecting the civilians’ return to the surface work, the command post decided to advance the battlefield, resolving this Rebel Army more than ten kilometers outside the Forward Base.

Therefore, a Mechanized Infantry Regiment from the Armed Forces was mobilized first, followed closely by three Field Camps.

At the same time, a drone swarm exceeding 50,000 units arrived over the Rebel Army, constantly surveilling their movements.

In fact, with the drone swarm’s firepower, one wave of dive shooting could easily crush this motley Rebel Army.

It was just that even if this Rebel Army was dispersed, it wouldn’t fully resolve the issue; instead, it would turn them into scattered guerrilla forces.

At that point, endless security operations would be too draining, so better to let these Rebels gather together and settle it all at once.

……

Forward Base, Third Canteen.

The existence of curfew meant ordinary civilians could only stay obediently in their houses at this hour.

So the vast canteen had only two or three tables of people still eating, with echoes, appearing incredibly empty.

Tap~

Feng Yixuan tossed the gnawed-clean chicken drumstick bone onto her plate, her other hand’s fingers sliding back and forth in her mobile phone’s contact list.

She still chewed chicken in her mouth, mumbling unclearly, “Strange, why isn’t that guy Li Shan picking up?”

Lu Bai glanced up at her: “Maybe he’s still busy.”

“Tch, who knows what he’s busy with, not even picking up the phone, wonder if he’s off fooling around somewhere.”

Feng Yixuan was complaining halfway when her peripheral vision caught the Armed Forces assembling outside the canteen, and she curiously said, “What are so many people doing?”

For normal order maintenance, there was no need to assemble troops at all.

On this point, Lu Bai was well aware.

“Looks like something happened somewhere.”

Feng Yixuan was bored anyway, and upon seeing this, she immediately got interested.

“Deputy Captain Lu, let’s go check out the excitement.”

Lu Bai nodded thoughtfully.

He figured this sudden event was probably another Mona Warrior ploy.

With nothing else to do, going to take a look wouldn’t hurt, maybe catch a few more unlucky eggs.

Lu Bai set down his chopsticks, stood up and said, “Then let’s go.”

The Unified Management Committee didn’t take that Rebel Army seriously, nor did the Combat Command Center.

Except for mobilizing the City Direct Martial Second Detachment out of caution, the other City Direct Martial distributed around the Forward Base weren’t even bothered to be notified by the Combat Command Center.

Thanks to this, Lu Bai and Feng Yixuan could wander pretty much wherever they wanted, like they were in the dark.
