"What? You want me to lead the Fourth Legion to Lava Planet and repel Slug's invasion? Are you kidding me? Slug has at least several million in battle power, if not over ten million. I only have fifty thousand! The chief of staff wants me to lead the Fourth Legion to Lava Planet—is he sending us to our deaths?"
Leige pretended to be angry after hearing what the soldier had to say.
After speaking, Leige didn't bother with the soldier any further and went straight to find Sorobe.
Five minutes later, in the chief of staff's office.
"Lord Sorobe, Prince Leige is here."
A soldier spoke to Sorobe inside the office from outside the door.
"Show him in. No, I'll greet him myself."
Sorobe said.
"No need. I'm already here."
Leige pushed open the door and walked into the office as he spoke.
"What brings you here, Prince Leige?"
Sorobe looked at Leige and asked.
"Chief of staff, is it true that you want me to lead the Fourth Legion to support Lava Planet and repel Slug's invasion?"
Leige asked Sorobe.
"Prince Leige, the strongest fighters in our army are you and the Ginyu Force. The Ginyu Force has to guard Planet No. 2 and Planet No. 3, so you're the only one I can send with the Fourth Legion to support Lava Planet."
Sorobe said.
"Chief of staff, I think you've heard of Slug. He has at least several million in battle power, if not over ten million. I only have fifty thousand. Even if I undergo the Great Ape Transformation, I'll only reach five hundred thousand. You're sending me to fight Slug. Are you trying to get me killed?"
Leige pretended to be angry.
"Prince Leige, you're a Saiyan. Are Saiyans afraid of anything?"
Sorobe looked at Leige and asked.
"Saiyans fear no enemy. But that doesn't mean we're stupid. You want me to fight an enemy I can't possibly defeat. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Leige said.
"Prince Leige, His Majesty is in seclusion right now. If we don't support Lava Planet, and His Majesty emerges to find that Slug and his men have taken it over, you, Marshal Lyle, and I will all be punished."
Sorobe said.
He didn't want to force Leige to support Lava Planet either, but there was no one else who could go.
"I have an idea. Would you like to hear it, Chief of Staff?"
Leige said.
"Please, go ahead, Prince Leige."
Sorobe said.
"Chief of staff, we can use the Energy Heavy Cannon aboard the Frieza Ship to turn Lava Planet and Slug's forces into cosmic dust."
Leige said.
"But even if we use the Energy Heavy Cannon aboard the Frieza Ship to turn Slug and his men into cosmic dust, Lava Planet will be gone too. We still won't be able to explain that to His Majesty. And if Slug's scouts discover us, they could destroy the Frieza Ship."
Sorobe said.
"Chief of staff, if my father could sacrifice a planet to eliminate a powerful enemy, do you think he'd care about that planet? And I'll order the soldiers to eliminate Slug's scouts."
Leige said.
Leige knew Frieza all too well. If Frieza had to choose, he'd definitely turn both Lava Planet and Slug into cosmic dust.
"Well, all right, Prince Leige. I'll order the captain of the Frieza Ship to head to Lava Planet immediately and turn it and Slug's forces into cosmic dust. But you must promise me that you'll keep the Frieza Ship safe."
Sorobe said.
"I promise. As long as I'm there, the Frieza Ship will be safe. Also, I'd like you to send a message to the Ginyu Force and have Guldo come with me to support Lava Planet."
Leige said.
Leige thought it would be even better if he could take the opportunity to recruit Guldo. Guldo might not be as strong as Jeice, Burter, or Recoome, but he had an overpowered technique like Time Freeze. If used well, it might even let him kill Frieza with ease.
"Why do you want Guldo to come with you to support Lava Planet, Prince Leige? Guldo isn't very strong. He's even weaker than Lord Dodoria."
Sorobe said.
"Guldo can stop time. If Slug and his men find us, we can use his Time Freeze technique to escape."
Leige said.
After that, Leige went to find Gele and assemble the Fourth Legion. Sorobe hurriedly ordered the radio operator to contact the Ginyu Force and have Guldo report to Planet No. 3.
March 18, 12:00.
"Prince Leige, I'm sorry. Your subordinate Guldo arrived late and kept you waiting."
A short, plump man with pale green skin and four eyes said.
Guldo had been dancing with Jeice and the others on Planet No. 2 when Sorobe's message summoned him. He'd taken the fastest aircraft available, and it still took him a whole day to reach Planet No. 3.
"Guldo, if we manage to eliminate Slug and his men this time, the chief of staff will reward me with one hundred gold taels on His Majesty's behalf, and I'll give you ten. Of course, even if we fail to eliminate them, I'll still give you three thousand Universe Coins as a bonus for fighting alongside the Fourth Legion."
Leige looked at Guldo and said.
"Just watch, Prince Leige. I guarantee I'll kill every last one of Slug's soldiers."
Guldo said.
Guldo hadn't said he'd kill Slug, only that he'd kill all of Slug's soldiers. He knew how strong Slug was.
12:20.
Leige boarded the Frieza Ship and set off for Lava Planet at the head of the Fourth Legion.
"Captain Jero, how long will it take us to reach Lava Planet?"
Leige asked a blue-skinned man in a captain's uniform.
"Prince Leige, even though the Frieza Ship is fast, it'll still take us ten days to reach Lava Planet."
Jero said.
"Ten days is too long. Use up every last energy stone if you have to, but get us there in five days."
Leige said.
By the time they arrived in ten days, Slug and his men would probably have already taken Lava Planet.
"Understood."
Jero said.
Leige had ordered them to reach Lava Planet in five days. Jero couldn't exactly refuse. They were going to support Lava Planet, after all. If they took ten days to get there, Slug's forces would probably have conquered it. So even if they used up every last energy stone, they had to arrive within five days.
"I'm going back to my room to rest. Don't disturb me unless it's important."
Leige said.
With that, Leige went to his room.
Two minutes later, in Leige's room.
"We have five days. I'll spend the first three training in the Combat Space, then take it easy for the last two."
Leige said.
After speaking, Leige entered the System Space.
"Let's see which character I'll draw as my sparring partner this time."
Leige said.
He began spinning the arrow, which finally stopped on Super Perfect Cell's portrait.
"I'm so damn lucky! First I draw Perfect Cell, and now Super Perfect Cell. It can't get any better than this!"
Leige said.
Of course, anyone who knew Leige understood what he meant.
"Leige, I'm here to avenge myself. Prepare to die!"
Super Perfect Cell said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Super Perfect Cell punched at Leige.
"Boom!"
Leige hurriedly transformed into Legendary Super Saiyan 1 Full Power and dodged the punch. Super Perfect Cell's fist smashed into the ground, leaving a crater ten meters in diameter and more than ten meters deep.
"Looks like Super Perfect Cell retained Perfect Cell's memories. Xiao Bai, can I switch to a different sparring partner? I'm afraid he'll kill me."
Leige said to Xiao Bai.
"Boom!"
Before Xiao Bai could answer, Super Perfect Cell fired an energy blast at Leige. Leige hurriedly dodged it.
"Bang!"
Super Perfect Cell teleported beside Leige and punched him hundreds of meters away.
"Bang!"
Super Perfect Cell immediately chased after Leige and punched him into the ground. Leige smashed into it, leaving a crater more than ten meters deep.
"Damn it!"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Leige roared angrily.
Leige gritted his teeth against the agony of his shattered left arm and right leg bones and charged at Super Perfect Cell.
"Great Ape Fist!"
Leige shouted.
Leige unleashed Great Ape Fist and punched at Super Perfect Cell.
"Boom!"
Super Perfect Cell activated an energy barrier, and Leige's Great Ape Fist struck it.
"Kamehameha!"
Super Perfect Cell shouted.
After shouting, Super Perfect Cell poured all his energy into firing a Kamehameha at Leige.
"Flame Impact Wave!"
Leige shouted.
Leige also poured all his energy into firing a Flame Impact Wave at Super Perfect Cell.
"Boom!"
The two massive energy waves collided. Since Super Perfect Cell's battle power was greater than that of Legendary Super Saiyan 1 Full Power, Leige's Flame Impact Wave was forced back.
"Ah!"
Leige was swallowed by the Kamehameha too, but he wasn't blasted to smithereens. Leige realized that Xiao Bai must have done it again. Although he hadn't been blasted to smithereens, all his energy and stamina were spent, and he reverted from Legendary Super Saiyan 1 Full Power to his normal state.
"Super Perfect Cell, stop! Wait until I heal my host's injuries before you beat him up again."
