Chapter 497 Emergency Plan
DarkStar Outpost. A bruised and battered Owenvell lay in the center of the room, with three clones tied together in the corner.
Xie Man, shouldering a giant gun, said in a deep voice, "There are a total of five Owenvells, four clones and one main body. The Godorans saved one of the clones, so the main body is him. He hid very well. Xin Haisa was able to read the mind waves and compare them with the thinking patterns of the clones, conducting a carpet search and finding the traitor's main body in a very secretive place."
The tall, thin man beside him, known as Xin Haisa, nodded. He was also a Grade B esper in the pursuit team, a psychokinetic. The clones were exactly the same as the main body, even with the same mental fluctuations, making it impossible for outsiders to distinguish them. However, this also became a clue for tracking.
Anul smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, your efficiency makes the organization proud. In this way, our operation can end early. Ash, do it."
Ash nodded, and with a lift of his finger, Owenvell's main body instantly turned into a pile of dust, dying without any fanfare or noise.
The others were expressionless, having long been accustomed to the feeling of killing enemies for the organization.
Just as they were about to pack up and retreat, suddenly, everyone's movements froze, their eyes filled with surprise and suspicion, and they slowly looked towards the corner.
They saw that Owenvell's three clones were still there, their faces covered in blood, all revealing a playful look.
"The main body is dead, how come the clones haven't disappeared?!" Anul's face changed, and he suddenly looked at the dust on the ground, "Could it be that he's not the main body?!"
"Hahahahaha—" The three clones burst into laughter, gasping for breath.
This burst of laughter made the DarkStar warriors show angry expressions, feeling that they had been played after working so hard for so long?!
Anul's face twitched, and he shouted, "Kill them all, one of them must be the main body!"
Swish, swish, swish...
The three clones turned into ashes one after another. The first two died, but the other clones were still fine. When the third Owenvell died, DarkStar couldn't be sure if the last one was the main body, but they already had some expectations.
"The Owenvell in the hands of the Godorans is the real main body. He's so bold, he actually used his main body to impersonate a clone to mislead us, risking going to accept Nagokin's protection, and tricked us! If I could have caught him sooner, he would have died long ago!" Xie Man's anger erupted.
Bang!
The more Xie Man thought about it, the angrier he became, feeling that the gazes of his companions were filled with blame (actually not), so he couldn't help but smash his fist hard on the chair (because he couldn't reach the table).
Anul's face was gloomy, "The four clones died at the same time, Owenvell will also feel the feedback of the injury. Time is of the essence, everyone move out, and directly kill the real main body hiding in Nagokin's place!"
With the four clones exposed, the target was locked. As long as they killed the real Owenvell, the mission would be completed successfully. Anul was unwilling to waste time and prepared to lead everyone to directly attack with thunderous means and end the mission!
...
After Han Xiao received the news, he hurriedly rushed back to the stronghold with the two of them, finding that everyone had a serious expression on their faces. They came to the conference room, where the main combat forces were gathered. He saw Owenvell sitting at the end of the table at a glance, and was immediately stunned.
Wasn't it said that the main body was captured? According to DarkStar's nature, they must have already killed the main body, but now Owenvell was still alive and well, and the mission hadn't failed. In an instant, Han Xiao guessed the truth and shook his head helplessly.
"You should have told us earlier that you were actually the main body."
"Sorry, I was afraid of leaking the news. Information that rots in my stomach doesn't risk being controlled by the enemy, cough, cough..."
Owenvell covered his mouth and coughed, blood foam spraying from between his fingers, leaving bright red spots on the table. His eyes were dull and lifeless, his face sickly. The senses of the clones were connected to him. The death of the four clones in a short period of time caused serious damage to the main body's spirit and body, and his condition was extremely poor.
He had quietly taken a risk, switching the main body for a clone, and accepting the protection of Nagokin and others. He supported waiting and seeing, precisely because the "main body" that DarkStar was searching for was actually his clone, so he had the confidence. He didn't like being passive. Instead of hiding and praying that DarkStar wouldn't find him, it was safer to be protected.
"But DarkStar has already seen through my little trick. Their next action must be to take the initiative to attack and kill me." Owenvell said weakly, "I can only rely on you to protect me, please."
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. This mission was indeed not so easy to complete. The formal process should be to protect Owenvell from continuing to escape under DarkStar's pursuit, but it was impossible to keep fighting. He guessed that as long as they could hold off the enemy and wait for Owenvell to split into clones again, they could confuse the situation again, thereby delaying until the Godoran reinforcements arrived.
He had never heard of Owenvell's name in his previous life, probably because he died in the Norios War, successfully killed by DarkStar. This was indeed the case. In addition to Anul and other ground pursuit forces, there must be a large number of DarkStar fleets hidden in the outer space, which was a dead end for Owenvell, leaving him only able to survive.
With the fleet ambushing in space, leaving on a spaceship would result in encirclement and death. They had to escape in the short moment before the DarkStar fleet attacked, which was almost impossible. This required extremely high spaceship performance.
However, there was currently a spaceship that could complete this difficult operation.
Resta's BlackLight Lurker!
It only needed microsecond-level preheating to enter warp, and it was equipped with anti-capture devices and anti-shielding devices. This advanced reconnaissance spaceship produced by the Shining Federation could pass through most dangerous areas and could also escape DarkStar's ambush encirclement.
"If I help Owenvell survive, what will be the subsequent impact?" Han Xiao frowned, suddenly thinking of the Grade S mission [Bloodline] in the panel list. He had a feeling that Owenvell might become a contributing factor to this mission.
Although he still had a [Mission Completion Card] left in his hand, he could only get the lowest reward. For this kind of high-level mission, he naturally had to try his best to improve the evaluation. He had finally received a high-level mission, and it would be too wasteful to use the completion card. He was still planning to keep this completion card as a backup to prevent encountering any strange missions again...
"The people from DarkStar won't hesitate, they'll be here soon." Han Xiao's tone was stern, and he slapped the table, signaling everyone to be quiet and look over. "We don't have much time to prepare. Listen, I have a plan that can directly send Owenvell out of Norios."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"We must split into two groups. I, Nagokin, and the vast majority of people will stay here to hold off the pursuers, while Aroshia takes Owenvell to find a teleporter mage, so he can quickly send you to the port, not only saving time, but also shaking off the pursuers. Then you go find Resta and take Owenvell away from Norios."
Han Xiao's face was grave. The plan sounded simple, but implementing it was extremely risky. The DarkStar pursuit force had two Calamity Grade experts, and there was also Ash, who could inflict large-scale AoE damage, which was really daunting. The main reason was that there wasn't much time to prepare, and everything could only be carried out in a hurry.
On their side, there was only one Grade A, Nagokin. He could attract firepower and contain Ash, preventing him from having time to injure others. Fortunately, they had injured Ash a few days ago, which would more or less affect his combat, but even so, dealing with two Calamity Grades at the same time was beyond their limit. Han Xiao thought that even with himself, he couldn't deal with Anul and Ash at the same time without any preparation.
Then there was only one choice, which was to divide the battlefield and separate the enemies. Therefore, they had to let the enemy know that Owenvell was escaping, so that DarkStar could divide their forces, deal with them on one side, and send people to pursue Owenvell on the other side, which was equivalent to spreading out the risk... Still very risky.
But now they could only take the risk.
Time was of the essence. Han Xiao quickly assigned tasks, and everyone mobilized, very nervous, and tried to act as quickly as possible.
Before they had prepared for even ten minutes, a loud noise suddenly rang out.
Boom!!
A strong wind pressure attacked the entire building, and everyone was swayed by the shock wave, but they were mentally prepared and jumped out, landing on the street, raising circles of dust.
In mid-air, Anul, after transforming, overlooked everyone, his body wrapped in wind pressure. Ash was also in the air, stepping on a black whirlwind of carbon particles hundreds of meters long. The other DarkStar warriors approached from the ground, quickly approaching, full of murderous intent.
"The attack came so fast."
Han Xiao's expression was grave. Nagokin was beside him, his aura surging, entering battle state. The surrounding mercenaries were on guard, and many people showed nervousness on their faces. Not everyone could remain calm in the face of a strong enemy whose strength far exceeded their own.
The strong pressure was like the sky collapsing, making everyone present feel a tightness in their hearts, as if pressing on a heavy stone.
The air waves from the collapse of the building stirred up countless dust, creating a huge commotion, and once again attracted many onlookers to stop and watch, looking pained.
Not again?!
Can you stop demolishing buildings!!
