The brief moment of warmth drew to a close, and the emotion in everyone's hearts turned into motivation.
Everyone in the Science Kingdom quickly gathered themselves and threw themselves back into the tense preparations for battle.
Successfully developing the Communication Telephone meant they now had complete command of long-distance communication.
They seemed to have seized the initiative, but in reality, they were still missing the most crucial step toward a true strategic victory!
For a call to go through, there had to be a phone at both ends!
Senku stood on the high ground at the village entrance, gazing thoughtfully at the mountain forests stretching into the distance.
"Communication equipment alone is nowhere near enough."
Senku then assigned their tasks. "This operation requires close teamwork."
After careful consideration, he settled on a two-pronged operation.
The first team would handle infiltration and reconnaissance, slipping into the outskirts of the Tsukasa Faction's territory to deliver a telephone to Taiju and the others.
After carefully screening the candidates, Senku chose Kohaku, Chrome, and Gen Asagiri for the team.
With her outstanding combat prowess, Kohaku would provide protection, while Chrome would accompany them.
The most crucial work-guiding the team and scouting under cover-would fall to the meticulous Gen Asagiri.
With Gen leading the way, they would be much harder to detect and could avoid enemy sentries as much as possible.
Once the plan was settled, Little Watermelon immediately raised his small hand, his eyes sparkling as he earnestly volunteered.
"Senku, I can help too! I run really fast, and I'm great at hiding!"
Seeing the child's sincere enthusiasm, Senku gently shook his head.
"No, Watermelon. This mission is too dangerous for children."
Meanwhile, a second team was formed to provide logistical support and keep the enemy in check by setting things up upstream.
