The Conspiracy of the Elites

Chapter 394: 4 days

This is Captain Madara, an ex-soldier of the nearby Timber Republic. Captain Drake introduced smoothly as the said Captain greeted the others harmoniously.

Clark nodded in understanding after hearing that.

After listening to Clarks initial plan that they needed a great distraction to have a higher chance of success, Captain Drake immediately started brainstorming on how to make this a reality.

Though apart from the Pendragon mercenary group, no other mercenary group agreed to help them, he was not exactly cornered by that.

Just like the Radan republic, most of the other neighboring low-grade countries were suffering from the exact same problem plaguing the republic, so those countries also had secret organizations opposing their government.

In search of manpower to carry out the distraction, he went out beyond the Radan republic to contact these organizations and plead for help.

Despite all his efforts, only Captain Madara of the Timber republic agreed to help him. He was the leader of the Secret Order organization that opposed the Timber government.

He was not too surprised when only one person agreed to help him.

Most of these organizations already suffered so much that they no longer believed in the feasibility of overthrowing their government, so they mostly saw his plan like that of a lunatic courting death.

He didnt blame them though. If Lieutenant Colonel Clark didnt appear in his life, he would have been just like them.

After listening to the captains explanation, as Clark wanted to start talking about the elite assassination squad, he was interrupted by a new chair that suddenly appeared in the blue mist virtual world.

Turning his head, he was surprised. Diana?

Diana politely greeted him and everyone else in the virtual world before going silent, she sat as still as a statue.

Seeing her appear just a few hours after he told her of the commission, Clark could only marvel at how efficient Captain Drake was. The soldier really meant business, and they had the money too.

He turned his head back before clearing his throat. For the elite assassination squad, I want the squad to comprise of only 10 soldiers.

This is not a war; it is more of an assassination attempt. So, I want us to strike fast and hard before the Radan army can react properly.

Leaving it at 10 people will make us much more flexible and adaptable.

For the elite squad, it will include me, Albert, Captain Drake, Captain King, Captain Josh, Captain Daniella, and Captain Madara. For the remaining 3, Captain Drake, I believe that you can provide them from your elite assassins.

If theres anyone who opposes my selection or the overall plan, you can present your reason now for revisions.

Seeing no one speak out, Clark nodded before he continued. We only have 4 days remaining, so we need to start our final preparations now.

I want everyone in this elite squad to converge in my underground base, we have to familiarize ourselves and understand each of our strengths and weaknesses before the D-day.

That is the only way for us to get the most efficiency.

For the elite squads main assassination plan, this is my idea

After explaining everything to the attendees of this gathering, Clark finally asked a question that has always been in his mind.

Did any information come from Ares?

Captain Drake answered. Yes, he successfully infiltrated deeper, and now has access to the schedule of the President for the next 5 days.

Good. Clark felt sincerely relieved.

For this plan to be successful, we need individual brilliance but we need collective brilliance the most.

Everyone matters in this plan; I want sincere and undiluted cooperation from everyone who agreed to help. Only when we act as a unit can we succeed, that is our only hope for success.

I hope to see all of you in a few hours.

Then, he stood up. He was about to say for the Spartan republic when he remembered that this was a different country, he quickly improvised with a smile on his face.

For our planet, Earth!

For our planet!

The gathering finally came to an end.

In Neon City, Oliver mansion, Captain Drakes eyes regained focus again as he immediately turned to face his female companion that sat a few inches away from him.

Looking into each others eyes, they could detect the excitement, relief, and gratefulness that was shining from deep within.

They knew that the time was here. After 4 days, it was either they gained everything or they lost everything, there was no other alternative than that.

This plan could easily lead to the annihilation of the old warriors club if any complication cropped up at an unexpected time.

Despite the huge stakes placed in this, they were not deterred. No pain, no gain; this was firmly ingrained in their minds already.

For Radan!

Captain Daniella echoed her leader. For Radan!

After chanting this, they seemed to have regained their strength. They stood up and started walking out of the office with boundless confidence radiating from their steps.

As soon as they came out, Captain Drake gave his subordinates the go-ahead.

In seconds, the whole Oliver mansion was aroused. In minutes, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd deep bases received the order and the old warriors club finally started a country-wide preparation.

Just 4 days later, and a major upheaval will befall the Radan republic.

In the Reagan republic, as soon as the virtual gathering came to an end, Emily sighed as she slumped down on her chair. For some reason, she didnt know exactly what she was feeling now.

She knew that what Clark was doing was a good thing, but for some baffling reason, she felt sad for him.

Dont you ever want to settle down? She asked thoughtfully.

Thud!

Without even turning to look, she knew who was coming already. Jack entered the office naturally before coming to her chair, he hugged her from behind.

How was the gathering?

Emily turned to face him. You guys will be there in 4 days.

Ok, but why do I feel that youre down? Jack went to the front to look directly in the eyes of her fiance.

Emily sighed. It's Clark, hes doing charity work now.

Is that not good, hes saving a country.

I know, but I feel that it's at the expense of his happiness. He still doesnt have a girlfriend yet, and I dont see him putting in much effort into it. This life is short.

Jack laughed. I believe that he already has plans for that, a soldier of his caliber thinks ahead more than you can imagine.

Emily could not help but laugh. I hope so.

Jack brought a bottle of wine from the nearby cabinet and poured it into 2 cups. To saving a country!

Emily smiled. To saving a country!

Activities in the Radan republic went on like usual, the citizens still had no idea of the plans brewing in the dark. A great veil of upheavals was slowly covering them but they had no idea.

Civilians went to work, as usual, the poor remained poor like always, the rich grew richer like always, and like these 4 days passed.

It was the D-day.
