Chapter 598

"Great Guardian, I have some suggestions regarding the layout of the refuge areas and the inner city defense line."

"Call all the squad leaders on leave over. This matter needs to be discussed with more senior frontline officers."

"Yes!"

Gepard turned and left.

Meanwhile, Cocolia continued to grapple with the endless stream of implementation issues, taking on one problem after another from the field, writing down implementation opinions, and then having them sent back the same way.

Unfortunately, Belobog has a small population, barely enough to be considered a city-state on Earth, and its political system is only marginally sound. Cocolia must personally handle the specific issues arising from this major undertaking.

Gepard quickly returned with several squad leaders from the inner city and spread out a military map in front of Cocolia.

"I believe the location of the Fourth Shelter is too risky. It would be better to use it as a front line. Its unique architectural structure not only makes it an excellent defensive point when retreating, but it can also be blown up if necessary. This would severely damage the monsters and block threats from this direction for a longer period of time."

"That makes sense. So where should the people who were originally supposed to take refuge here be relocated?"

"This..."

"Then let them move to Kriper Castle."

Cocolia said decisively, while shifting her gaze from the map and processing another report that had been sent to her.

All the officers were taken aback.

"Great Guardian, Kriper Castle is..."

"Kripper Castle exists because of Beloborg, not Beloborg because of Kripper Castle. The people are always the most important; compared to them, the so-called majesty and glory of the castle builders are worthless... Cough! Cough cough!"

Cocolia gripped the corner of the table, her face turning pale. Blood seeped from between her fingers as she covered her mouth.

"Lord Cocolia!?"

Cocolia shook her head, stopping the officers from their worried movements.

She stared blankly at her palms stained with blood, then said nonchalantly:

"It's alright, it won't affect this battle."

"Lady Cocolia, perhaps you should see a doctor first?"

"I told you it's okay. It will be alright, soon... Continue. Do you have any suggestions for adjustments? I hope we can hold the front line, but if the front line collapses, we must continue to resist in the inner city to ensure the safety of the refuge area to the greatest extent possible. Use your experience and talents to give me the best advice."

"Yes!"

Some people complain that the time was too short and there wasn't enough time to conduct sufficient simulations.

However, Cocolia's casual gesture of wiping the blood from the corner of her lips made them swallow their complaints.

The atmosphere has been built up to this point; anyone could feel the impending storm. Complaining at this time is a waste of time. It's better to make the necessary preparations and be in the best possible condition to meet the crisis foreseen by the Great Guardian.

Thus, Cocolia multitasked, dealing with a series of problems while discussing detailed adjustments to the battle lines with her officers.

By dusk, a new military deployment map had been produced.

Fortunately, Cocolia's initial arrangements were already very well done, and the officers couldn't offer any major suggestions for adjustment. At this point, it wouldn't take too much effort for the construction department and the Iron Guard to implement them.

"Then so be it, carry it out. You have 36 hours. I want everything in place before dawn the day after tomorrow... This isn't for the sake of the Great Guardian's prestige, it's for the survival of the entire Belobog. The final battle that has been awaited for 700 years, the future that generations of Belobog have longed for, will be decided in this battle... Cough! Please."

Cocolia leaned on the table, her expression cold and rational, but her shimmering purple eyes held a rare tenderness.

"Bang!"

The officers stood with their legs together, pounded their chests, and slowly bent over, their solemn expressions conveying their attitude.

"Lady Cocolia, there is one more thing."

"Explain."

"I request that Silval Landau be recalled to the Silvermane Guards. She has exceptional personal strength and professional competence, and is also highly trusted by the frontline guards. She is capable of leading an army independently and would greatly alleviate the command pressure after the reinforcements were added to the frontline."

Gepard stated unequivocally that he made no attempt to avoid suspicion because she was his sister, and completely ignored her history of falling out with the Great Guardian.

Cocolia paused for a moment, feeling that this was indeed a good way to Silval.

"Okay, go and recruit them."

"Yes, Great Guardian!"

The officers then withdrew.

Cocolia finally got a moment to catch her breath.

'It's been so tough, thankfully it's only been a couple of days. I want to just dump this on myself and leave now.'

[Haha! The performance has begun! Let's present the most perfect play to Belobog! Love comes from the lively, lovely, kind, and harmless Miss Amon!]

'Stop joking. This is the first time we've acted so hastily to accommodate Ninti's schedule, so I must be extremely focused. The others should learn from this; the Anqi Faction never fights a battle unprepared. The Star God is too powerful; we must be as cautious as possible.'

The Xianzhou Luofu, Penacony, and many other Anqi from other planets all nodded in agreement.

This Emanator them realize that they were very strong, but in a one-on-one situation, Anqi Faction was confident that she could kill any of them.

Star Goddess is different; she's way too much like a supermodel.

Even including the Cocoon of the Finality in the Solar System, the Anqi Faction is still only at the level of a single star region, while the Star Gods are at the cosmic level—the difference in scale is far, far too great. If the Star Gods weren't bound by their own destinies and basically didn't interfere in interstellar affairs, the Anqi Faction certainly wouldn't dare to do these things.

'Phew! The interstellar springboard is almost in hand. So, is the method of contacting the Solar System complete?'

'Don't worry, I've completed the argument.'

Inside the office, Cocolia and Ninti looked at each other, one in the light and the other in the shadows, and both smiled.
