Settling on a plan
"Ebson is at a base near Aikent City. I'm not entirely sure why he's in the Middle East, but according to him, being closer to the front lines makes it easier to obtain experimental and clinical data. As for what he's researching, I don't know, but he's always talking about something like Life Evolution. If you want to launch a surprise attack, I can lead the way," Ivanor shrugged, looking completely indifferent.
Inside the office, the group of people looked at each other in bewilderment. Ackerman A-Yi his companions looked completely confused, as if to say, "I don't understand, but it sounds very impressive." The other Titan Warriors, on the other hand, kept their eyes downcast, but they understood some of the meaning behind Ivanor's words. It turned out that Yago was planning a surprise attack on Ebson.
But a question arose in their minds: was a surprise attack on Ebson really necessary? After all, Ebson was just one person. Even if he had several Titan Warriors with him, what difference would it make? There were seven Titan Warriors present: Yago, Annie, Aili, Reiner, Pieck, Porco, Ivanor. Add to that A-Yi and the other Ackerman, the Winged Titan Litt Ebson's group. Could Ebson possibly withstand them?
Furthermore, although helping the Far East Army enhance its military strength and being the mastermind behind this Far East World War, so what? Will the war stop just because Ebson is dead? Besides, many people present already know the inside story of the Rumbling. No matter how strong the Far East Army is, can it possibly be stronger than the Rumbling? Since victory is already predetermined, why launch a surprise attack on Ebson? Was it really necessary?
Yago understood everyone's thoughts, but he also had his own unspoken difficulties. The world had been dominated by the Titan Power Titan too long, and the concept that the Titans were invincible was deeply ingrained in people's minds. The former Eldia Empire and the current Marley Empire both relied on the Titan Power to dominate the world. But Yago knew that the Titan Power was not invincible. The war in the Middle East of Marley had already explained a lot.
Ebson's ambitions likely extend beyond the Titan Power. Yago also has concerns: the Far East, bolstered by Ebson, has arguably developed a military strength that is now immeasurable. Ivanor himself stated that the Far East's Airship force, or rather, its renamed Air Force, is expanding. In today's world, aside from Yago has gained his father's memories, few in the world could have predicted the importance of Air Force power. And even the strongest the Rumbling cannot reach altitudes of several thousand meters, so...
Furthermore, the Far East Army is conducting a large-scale selection of Soldiers with exceptional physical abilities and continuously sending them to various research bases under Ebson's control, the purpose of which remains unknown.
In short, no matter how many doubts people had, Ebson, this potential threat, had to be eliminated as soon as possible! Yago made up his mind.
Aili looked at the people around her, then at the idle Ivanor beside her. This was Ivanor's office, which was also the highest Command Headquarters of the Far East Army in Twilight Town. There were more than fifty fully armed elite Far East Guard outside the door. She had a strange feeling. Were we discussing how to deal with the big mastermind behind the Far East people in Far East Soldiers' territory, with people who were originally from the Far East camp under the Guard of Far East Soldiers?
After a brief discussion, Yago finalized the raid plan.
"Aili, well done! If this operation succeeds, you'll definitely deserve a huge credit," Yago said with a smile.
Aili quickly waved her hand, "No, no, boss, don't misunderstand. Actually, I didn't play much of a role. It was mainly because Ivanor was willing to cooperate with us. Hehe, why don't we give the credit to Ivanor!"
Yago chuckled, but Ivanor's initiative to join their Eldia Revival Army had indeed been a great help. She had somehow obtained the Far East Army's operational mobilization plan. With this, victory was indeed within the Eldians' grasp. Indeed, the Eldians' victory!
From beginning to end, Yago never genuinely intended to help the Allied Army. Marley and the Middle East had always seen the Eldians a thorn in their side. Given this situation, was it necessary to share the spoils of victory with them? On the contrary, the Eldians would not be stingy with those good friends who had always been willing to help Eldia.
As for Marley and the Middle East, Yago gave a sinister smile. He believed in keeping his promises, Marleyan would probably be quite happy about it, after all...
"Iva? I see that's what Aili calls you too. You don't mind if I call you that too, do you?" Yago said, looking at Ivanor.
Ivanor nodded. "Whatever. You're Aili-chan's boss, so you're my boss too."
Yago chuckled, his dark pupils possessing an indescribable depth. For a fleeting moment, Ivanor was momentarily dazed, for through Yago's Black Eyes she actually saw a glimpse of Ebson's shadow, causing her body to tremble slightly.
"Um, Yago, there's no one else here, but I still have to say, Ebson is really something else, are you sure..." After hesitating for a moment, Ivanor couldn't help but ask.
But Yago's face suddenly turned serious. He looked intently at Ivanor and said, word by word, "Don't ask so many questions. We don't have many choices. This isn't just about stopping Ebson, but also about the future of the Eldians. Iva, you should understand."
Ivanor nodded, his expression somewhat somber.
In the brightly lit Laboratory, Ebson, dressed in a white lab coat, slowly and methodically handled the entire set of glassware in front of him. In a small crucible resting on an alcohol lamp beside him, a scarlet, viscous liquid bubbled and gurgled.
Suddenly, the Laboratory door was violently flung open, and a burly figure strode in, accompanied by a pungent smell of smoke. Without even looking, it was clear it was Bill.
With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Bill grinned and said, "Everything's going smoothly. Those idiots in the Far East were too obvious with their little tricks, but they underestimated the power of the Air Force. The Allied Army are probably finished. Also, the fish have taken the bait."
Ebson's expression had been calm and unperturbed, and he seemed completely indifferent to everything Bill said. But Bill's last sentence made his hand tremble violently. Crack! A glass bottle filled with scarlet liquid shattered, and the viscous liquid inside seemed to writhe on the ground as if it were alive.
A chilling smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as Ebson turned his head. "Alright, hurry up and get ready, our guests are about to arrive."
Bill chuckled coldly, "What about that traitor? Should we just chop him up?"
Ebson let out a dry laugh and said lightly, "No, that's too wasteful. Let the child try the latest Life Fluid, let him be the first to entertain our guest, hehehe."
"Yes!" Bill responded, turned and walked out of the Laboratory. Lately, he had been spending time with Ebson and could clearly feel that Ebson's personality was becoming increasingly strange, and that some kind of humanity seemed to be disappearing from him.
