The Conspiracy of the Elites

Chapter 404: elite commanders

All over the Radan republic, absolute silence suddenly descended.

No one knew who pressed the fuse to stop, but just like a movie, the riots stopped as abruptly as they started. The soldiers stopped shooting; the rioters also stopped shooting.

As one, they all looked in the direction of Arial City where the greatest battle of all today was fought.

For the mercenaries of the Pendragon mercenary organization and the Secret order organization, their superiors sent them the results of the battle and they silently retreated.

For the soldiers of the Radan army, there was no explanation for them, they just received an order from one of their Captains that they should stop shooting.

Even if they were dumb and could not deduce much, they could still read the atmosphere. They knew that something significant just happened.

For the civilians that couldnt participate in the battle, their hearts skipped beats after the raging battle stopped.

They didnt know what happened, but they knew that something happened.

Arial City, Presidential Villa District.

Unlike in other parts of the country, the civilians living in this district felt the impact of the battle more. They felt the intensity, they suffered from the shockwaves, and they faintly saw details.

All of them living in this district were rich men and women, so most of them had access to gadgets that could see far into the distance.

Though everything was blurry, they were still able to keep track of the battle. From the beginning, they saw how the assassins came to blow with the soldiers guarding the Presidents mansion.

In the end, they saw what looked like a giant machine battling with a soldier.

They felt like they were in a dream, the things that theyve seen today, to normal people were things that could only be imagined in fiction.

As the repercussions of what they just saw started being digested into their brains, something suddenly appeared in mid-air without them knowing.

Above the Presidential villa, a crack seemed to appear in the void, and through this crack, a burly man with the figure of a Pugilist stepped out.

He was dressed in a special silver and blue uniform that looked like a work of science fiction. His boots glowed in a soft blue color, granting him the ability to freely hover in mid-air.

His hair danced to the movement of the wind behind him.

Elite Commander Titus surveyed the situation before him with a calm expression. His special glasses seemed like they could see through all concealments in the world.

He could see the mech that was rapidly disappearing into the distance on stealth. He could see underground where the dead robot President was, and he could see the surface where the Generals dead body lay.

Then, he looked into the distance, at the nearby houses where the civilians who faintly saw the situation of the battlefield lived.

He raised his hand which held a device, then he pressed a green button. Invisible blue lines seemed to spread through the air, covering the whole Arial City in less than 2 seconds.

Suddenly, the rich men and women who were trying to digest the sight that they saw from the battlefield revealed confused expressions.

They felt like they saw the details of the battlefield, but it kept on eloping them like their memory suddenly grew bad overnight.

They kept on cracking their brains but they could not recall anything, so they just forgot about it and continued looking at the ruin of the Presidential Villa.

For minutes, Captain Drake and every other soldier who participated in the battlefield looked on at the corpse of the revered General Cable in a daze.

Everything that happened still seemed like a badly made movie to them.

A mech, the fierce battle, the destruction of the Presidential Villa, a general dying, each of the different scenarios was more unbelievable than the first.

Surprisingly, Captain Drake noticed that only he and the other Captains seemed to recall everything that happened. Except for Albert and some few exceptions, all the other soldiers revealed confused expressions.

Seeing this, he seemed to guess at something.

Without probing deeper into what happened, he stood out among his allies and addressed the Radan soldiers. With Captain Odin not opposing him, none of the soldiers did either.

His voice was loud and calm like he was a veteran orator.

As he addressed the soldiers, Captain Josh, Captain Madara, King, and the others from the Pendragon mercenary group and the old warriors club silently left the scene.

King calmly excused himself mid-way from the others and left.

Master. Clark and King greeted the man in a silver and blue uniform at the same time.

Elite Commander Titus was calm as he directed a scrutinizing look at Clark. You killed a 4th rank high-grade soldier?

Yes, master. Clark answered humbly.

He did it with my help. King quickly butted in.

The Elite Commander ignored what his senior student said before directing a look of approval at Clark. You did well.

I saw the battle; I didnt expect you to become so proficient in controlling a mech in so little time.

I followed your advice and trained hard. Clark calmly replied.

After nodding his head, Elite Commander Tituss face became solemn. You did well, but next time you should employ more measures to hide your secret.

You know the repercussions if people know that you can pilot a mech.

Yes, master.

Good. I helped you resolve it this time, youll have to settle it with the 3rd rank high-grade soldiers who participated yourself.

Ok, master.

Take this. The Elite Commander handed Clark 2 devices.

The first device is for you to hide all traces to your mech, I believe that others like me from the big 5 will be coming to investigate soon. All you need to do is install it inside the mech.

The second device is for you to distort any observations next time when youre battling with your mech. That way, you can use it and most observations wont be able to see what exactly it is.

Thank you, Master.

Elite Commander Titus finally smiled. I saw your performance with the Deitys Fists. Keep training hard, if you continue with this improvement speed, you may get to see my leader soon.

Clark was surprised. I cant wait for it.

Seeing his master nod and was about to leave, King asked indignantly. You gave him 2 devices, what of me?

You already have enough.

The Elite Commander calmly answered before he disappeared.

King twitched his lips before sighing in exasperation.

A few minutes later after emergency recovery methods were already started by the Radan army after being calmed by the presence of the captains, a new figure appeared in mid-air.

The man had wine-colored hair as he surveyed the surroundings of the battlefield calmly. He brought out a device from his bag and swiped it at the dilapidated Presidential Villa.

A holographic projection suddenly appeared before him in mid-air, and the scenes of the previous battle were all shown to him.

His face suddenly became weird. A group of 3rd rank high-grade soldiers mobbed and killed a 4th rank high-grade soldier?

Strange.

He muttered in thought before disappearing.
