"Frieza and Cooler perished together?"
King Cold asked after hearing the soldier's report.
"Although the scout team managed to bring back a severely wounded Cooler, they were unable to locate Frieza."
The soldier replied.
"Order the scout team to return at maximum speed. I am well aware of the destructive power of a planetary explosion; even if Cooler wasn't killed by the blast, I fear he is not in good shape."
King Cold stated.
The Frost Demon race was now reduced to just him, Frieza, and Cooler. With Frieza's fate unknown, if anything were to happen to Cooler as well, he would be left standing alone and unsupported.
"Understood."
The soldier said.
The soldier turned and left to relay the orders to the scout team.
March 8th, Combat Space.
"Congratulations to the host for finally mastering the Full Power Legendary Super Saiyan 1."
Xiao Bai looked at Leige and praised him.
"Even though I've mastered the Full Power Legendary Super Saiyan 1 and my combat power has reached thirty billion, I still can't land a hit on you."
Leige said.
After mastering the Full Power Legendary Super Saiyan 1, Leige's combat power had surged from 2.5 billion to thirty billion.
"Don't be discouraged, host. You must realize that your current combat power is already on par with Perfect Cell; there are very few people left in the entire universe who are your match."
Xiao Bai said.
A combat power of thirty billion was enough to rule as an emperor of the universe, and that was not to mention that Leige was only three years old; his future potential was immeasurable.
"By this time next year, I will definitely reach Legendary Super Saiyan 2."
Leige declared.
At the same time, Leige set a small goal for himself.
"Keep it up, I will help you."
Xiao Bai said.
Three days later, March 12th, Frieza Planet No. 3, hospital.
"How is the King's condition? When will he wake up?"
Leige asked the lizard-man beside him.
"Reporting to Prince Leige, the King's injuries are severe; it is already a miracle that he survived. As for when he will wake up, that depends on the King himself, but Prince Leige, you had best prepare yourself mentally."
The lizard-man said.
Frieza, you really are something. You couldn't beat Cooler, yet you insisted on provoking him. And now look at you—you detonated Frieza Planet No. 4 and ended up in this state. You get to lie comfortably in the medical pod, while I'm worked to the bone, Leige thought to himself.
"Report, Prince Leige! Scouts have discovered two Cooler Force fleets heading toward Frieza Planet No. 3."
A soldier ran up to Leige and said.
"How many men do they have?"
Leige asked.
"Reporting to Prince Leige, according to the scouts, the Cooler Force is estimated to have the strength of four legions."
The soldier said.
"Pass the order: have the Fourth and Fifth Legions prepare for battle."
Leige commanded.
"Yes!"
The soldier replied.
Hurry up and wake up, Frieza, Leige thought as he looked at Frieza in the medical pod.
Frieza Planet No. 3, Command Center.
"This subordinate greets Prince Leige."
A tiger-headed man wearing a commander's uniform knelt on one knee before Leige.
"Commander Lyle, I am only a regiment commander. Why is a commander like you bowing to me? You are making things difficult for me."
Leige said, helping the tiger-headed man up.
"Although you are only a regiment commander, you are also the King's adopted son. We subordinates must pay our respects when we see the King's adopted son; otherwise, if the King finds out we were disrespectful to you, he will surely be furious."
Lyle said.
"Commander Lyle, let's skip the pleasantries. Soldiers just reported that a Cooler Force is heading toward Frieza Planet No. 3. Scouts say they've brought four legions this time. How many troops are currently stationed on Frieza Planet No. 3?"
Leige asked Lyle.
"Reporting to Prince Leige, there is only one division stationed on Frieza Planet No. 3. Perhaps we should request reinforcements from Planet No. 2."
Lyle said.
"Even if Planet No. 2 sends reinforcements, it will take at least five days. Commander Lyle, gather all the officers immediately. We are holding an emergency meeting."
Leige said.
"Yes, I shall go at once."
Lyle said.
After speaking, Lyle ordered his soldiers to notify the officers to assemble in the conference room.
Five minutes later.
"Gentlemen, we have just received word that a Cooler Force is heading toward Frieza Planet No. 3. According to our scouts, they have four legions. Currently, we only have two legions and one division. I have summoned you all to ask for your stance. Those willing to remain with this commander and hold Frieza Planet No. 3 until reinforcements arrive, stand to my left. I will not force those who are unwilling; stand to my right."
Lyle said, looking at the officers in the room.
"Commander, I will stay and hold Frieza Planet No. 3 with you."
A crow-man wearing a colonel's uniform said.
"I will also stay and hold Frieza Planet No. 3 with you."
Another dog-headed man in a colonel's uniform said.
Soon, more and more officers decided to follow Commander Lyle and hold their ground on Frieza Planet No. 3.
"You are all indeed capable officers of my father's army."
Leige said as he entered the conference room.
"Greetings, Prince Leige."
The officers in the room knelt on one knee in unison.
"No need for such formalities, please rise."
Leige said, helping Lyle, who was at the head of the group, to his feet.
"Thank you, Prince Leige."
Lyle and the others said.
"Commander Lyle, how do you intend to fight this battle?"
Leige asked Lyle.
"I intend to eliminate the Cooler Force through urban warfare and guerrilla tactics."
Lyle said.
The Cooler Force had brought two legions; engaging them head-on in a frontal assault would be suicide. Therefore, Lyle planned to use urban and guerrilla warfare to stall for time, hoping to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
"Commander Lyle is truly a renowned general in our army. If we can wipe out these two Cooler Force legions, I will put in a good word for you before my father and guarantee you a promotion to Marshal."
Leige said.
"Hahaha, I thank you in advance, Prince Leige."
Lyle laughed.
"Lord Apocart, we are still two hours away from Frieza Planet No. 3."
Lan Tailang said to Apocart.
After resting for a day on Cooler Planet No. 6, Apocart had set out on March 8th with the 12th and 13th Legions of the Cooler Force toward Frieza Planet No. 3. Simultaneously, he ordered the 19th and 20th Legions on Cooler Planet No. 7 to head to Frieza Planet No. 3 as well. They intended to annihilate the Frieza Force while it was leaderless. Apocart utilized the fastest spaceships and warships of the Cooler Force, finally reaching the vicinity of Frieza Planet No. 3 in just three days.
"Tell the brothers that after we wipe out the Frieza Force on Frieza Planet No. 3, they will have three days of leave. They are free to plunder all the space credits, gold, and beauties they can find."
Apocart said.
"As you command."
Lan Tailang said.
Lan Tailang then went to notify the officers.
Frieza Planet No. 2, Headquarters.
"Report, reporting to Lord Sorobe, an urgent telegram from Prince Leige."
A soldier ran into the conference room and said to Sorobe.
"Read it."
Sorobe said.
Sorobe did not blame the soldier for his lack of decorum; had it not been an emergency, the soldier would not have been so impolite.
"March 4th: We suddenly lost contact with the troops on Frieza Planet No. 4. Prince Leige sent a scout team to Planet No. 4. March 6th: The scout team discovered the Great King on the former Planet No. 4; the Great King is severely wounded and unconscious. March 11th: Another scout team discovered a Cooler Force heading toward Planet No. 3. Scouts say this Cooler Force has four legions. Prince Leige requests support from headquarters."
The soldier spoke.
"I never expected so much to have happened in these past few days. Order the First Legion to remain stationed on Frieza Planet No. 2, and have the Second Legion accompany me to reinforce Frieza Planet No. 3. Equip the combat units with the fastest spaceships and warships; Frieza Planet No. 3 only has two legions and a single division, they won't be able to hold out for long."
Sorobe said.
"Understood."
The soldier said.
The soldier left the command center after speaking.
"Go to the Ginyu Force's quarters and tell them that I, Sorobe, request Lord Recoome and Lord Bada to accompany us to reinforce Frieza Planet No. 3."
Sorobe said to his trusted aide beside him.
"Understood."
The aide said.
The aide left to find the Ginyu Force after speaking.
12:10 PM.
The Cooler Force entered Frieza Planet No. 3. Strangely, they did not encounter any resistance before entering Frieza Planet No. 3.
"BOOM!"
