Just days after Duan Jiangwei returned to Duan Family Base, a helicopter dispatched on an emergency mission arrived carrying an Encrypted Letter. The messenger was dressed in plain clothes and looked entirely unremarkable, yet Duan Jiangwei personally received him at once.
"A meeting?" Duan Jiangwei held the Encrypted Letter, staring at the stranger before him in shock.
The messenger smiled. "Yes. The specific details can only be disclosed once you arrive in Shangjing. Please forgive us; the circumstances are unusual."
Duan Jiangwei narrowed his eyes. "All fourteen generals must attend?"
After Jinyang Base had been destroyed by some outrageously bold bastard, the number of generals in the Apocalypse Era had dropped to fourteen. Although there was still room for more, major incidents had arisen one after another, so many well-developed bases had been temporarily set aside, and the conferral of new generals had been repeatedly delayed.
"Yes," the man answered with certainty. "Not only that, some lieutenant generals and major generals from small and medium-sized bases that are not protected by a major base are also on the list. As long as they can be found, they must head to Shangjing in fifteen days."
Duan Jiangwei's pupils constricted. "What do you mean, not protected by a major base?"
"Oh, like this." The man smiled as he explained, "The bases around Duan Family Base all follow your lead, correct? Then regardless of whether their leaders are lieutenant generals or major generals, there is no need to send them invitations. Likewise, Jianyi Base near Wolf Fang Base will not receive an invitation, nor will Lu Yi."
This answer made Duan Jiangwei even more wary. Were they trying to prevent too many generals from mobilizing at once and forming small-scale factions?
That was truly ruthless. Just what had happened that required such caution?
