" Hattori, Zemu, you two go immediately to support Nakajo! Do not fail!" Katsuto Jumonji ordered sternly.
"Yes, sir!" the two replied in unison without hesitation, then quickly turned around and sped off like arrows toward Azusa Nakajo Azusa's location.
Watching their departing figures, Katsuto Jumonji breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then his brow furrowed again, and he muttered to himself, "No, I need to check again carefully to see if anyone was missed."
Before he finished speaking, he resolutely turned around and left the control room with firm steps.
Before leaving, Katsuto Jumonji seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to look at Kirihara, and called out, " Kirihara, come with me on one last patrol."
It turned out that, due to previous arrangements, his two subordinates had been sent to support Nakajo, and he was currently lacking a capable assistant. Kirihara was always shrewd and capable, naturally became the best choice.
"Yes!" Kirihara replied without hesitation, quickly following Katsuto Jumonji's steps.
" Shiba- kun, please go and check on the equipment in the other rooms," Kei then instructed.
"No problem." Tatsuya Shiba readily nodded in agreement, then turned around and began to carefully check each room to see if any experimental machines were still running. After confirming that, he went to the preparation room to meet the others.
"Once everyone has completed their tasks, we'll gather in the preparation room to discuss the next steps," Mari Watanabe added.
About half an hour later...
As everyone gathered in the preparation room, enthusiastically discussing what measures to take next, Tatsuya Shiba suddenly became alert—he noticed a giant truck approaching from directly in front of the building at an extremely high speed, seemingly about to crash straight into it!
Without a second thought, Tatsuya Shiba decisively raised his hand and unleashed a powerful Decomposition spell on the oncoming truck outside the building. In an instant, the entire truck vanished into countless tiny particles, as if swept away by a gust of wind. The people inside the truck were caught off guard and fell flat on their backs. When they came to their senses, their faces were filled with terror, and they fled the scene in a panic.
When Katsuto Jumonji and his Kirihara arrived at the scene, all they saw was powder everywhere. "Judging from this, it seems someone else acted before us," Katsuto Jumonji thought. Just as he was pondering this, countless missiles suddenly rained down from the sky.
Faced with this sudden attack, Katsuto Jumonji showed no fear and instantly unleashed the Phalanx skill. A transparent energy shield rapidly unfolded, enveloping himself and his Kirihara. Accompanied by a deafening roar, missiles crashed into the shield, but none could penetrate this solid defense.
After successfully withstanding all the missile attacks, Katsuto Jumonji breathed a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, on the other side, Tatsuya Shiba successfully resolved the crisis on the truck and was preparing to head to the preparation room to meet up with the others.
However, when Tatsuya Shiba pushed open the door to the preparation room, he found a familiar figure standing inside. "Sorry to keep you waiting," Kyoko said with a smile.
"Could it be Kyoko. Kyoko?" Mayumi Saegusa exclaimed in surprise. "Long time no see, Mayumi," Kyoko greeted her warmly.
Shortly after Kyoko arrived, Major Kazama followed closely behind into the preparation room. With that, Katsuto Jumonji and his group were all back inside, and the atmosphere in the preparation room became somewhat heavy.
"Teresa, the intelligence controls have been temporarily lifted, "Kyoko said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Tatsuya Shiba's eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he straightened up, faced Major Kazama, and quickly and forcefully gave a standard military salute.
"I am Major Harunobu Kazama of the National Defense Army Department." Harunobu Kazama introduced himself in a calm voice. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, revealing a firmness and decisiveness.
Upon hearing the name, Katsuto Jumonji couldn't help but show surprise. He had clearly heard of Major Kazama, but hadn't expected to meet him in person. He quickly introduced himself, "So you are Major Kazama. I am Katsuto Jumonji, the acting representative of the Jumonji Family at the Master Clans Conference Katsuto Jumonji."
Harunobu Kazama nodded slightly in response. Then, he turned to the crowd and said, " Fujibayashi, please explain the current situation to everyone."
"Yes!" Kyoko Fujibayashi stepped forward in response. She took a deep breath and then explained the current tense situation and related information in detail to everyone in the preparation room. During this time, everyone listened attentively, their expressions becoming increasingly serious.
After Kyoko Teng Ling explained, Tatsuya Shiba and the others roughly understood the current situation.
"Well then, Lord Tewei, considering the extremely serious and unusual situation, the higher command has just issued an order: all personnel currently carrying out other missions must immediately join this operation. According to the relevant regulations and rules of our National Defense Force forces' special operations, you are also subject to this deployment order," Harunobu Kazama said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked astonished. However, Harunobu Kazama quickly reassured them, "But please rest assured, Uesugi Tetsuwei, we informed Lord Uesugi Tetsuwei before we came here. He is on his way and is expected to arrive soon."
Then, Harunobu Kazama continued, "Furthermore, as requested by the National Defense Force, we hope that everyone present will shoulder the responsibility and obligation to protect Tei's true identity. This is a necessary measure implemented in accordance with the National Defense Force Secrets Protection Act, and we hope for your understanding and cooperation."
At this moment, Miyuki Shiba suddenly asked, " Major Kazama, is the Bai Feng brother you just mentioned coming too?" Her voice carried an undisguised gloom, and her face also appeared particularly heavy.
"That's right, this arrangement is also to help Tewei complete this difficult task more smoothly." Harunobu Kazama patiently explained. After hearing this, Miyuki Shiba had no choice but to retreat to her original position with a heavy heart.
"Tevius, the transport vehicle is ready with the Mobile Armor' you designed." Shigeru Sanada said solemnly as he opened the door. Tatsuya Shiba nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then quickly got up and began to work.
