Chapter 534 - Beating To Submission
Kai and Ria arrived at the Chile Military Base after a long journey. They literally headed straight to this place.
They were greeted by five people that seemed to have been waiting for their arrival.
All of them saluted to the helicopter that was about to land.
The soldiers were confused because they recognized all five of them.
They were Chile, Paraguay, and Argentina Military Bases' Commanders and their vice commanders.
However, it soon changed when they saw who came out of the helicopter.
The first one to come out was none other than Ria Ross, the one and only General of the Army that had been recognized worldwide.
All of them couldn't help but salute as they finally saw hope.
And it became even more so as soon as Kai Carter made his appearance.
The world's first SSS Rank Magician, surpassing his own teacher.
"This is Kai Carter…"
"The headquarters sent him too?"
"Kai Carter and Ria Ross. I don't think we will see a stronger lineup than this."
Ria and Kai saluted back and put their hands down, signaling them to stop saluting.
The moment they put down their hands, the soldiers couldn't help but cheer.
"Uoh!"
"We have the strongest commanders here!"
"We are not afraid anymore."
Ignoring their cheers, Kai walked to the five Generals before him. "I am Kai Carter."
"Reporting to Supreme Commander Kai Carter. We have been informed by the headquarters that you are going to directly lead this battle as the headquarters also have increased your rank."
"Yes. I think I will cut to the chase right away. I need a map of this area, including the terrains we can use against them. There is also a need for reassignment since there will be around twelve Generals with a total of three hundred thousand soldiers."
"Understood. I am Raka, the commander of Chile Base. I can provide you with all the information you need." A middle-aged man stepped forward and extended his hand. "Let me guide you."
Kai nodded with a serious expression.
Before following him, Kai added, "Teacher, I want you to survey the area around to check the place for air support and other things. Their number is not a problem, but the ones leading them are… If we show any weakness, they're going to exploit it immediately."
"Understood. I will find you a good place together with the timing." Ria nodded. "I need someone to help me. The rest can settle down all these soldiers, making sure they're assigned properly."
"We understand."
They quickly went separate ways, doing their own things.
Not long after, Michelle and the others had arrived in Chile Base, followed by ten Generals, including Nathan and Ethan.
The soldiers were completely bewildered because this was the first time they saw all those famous figures in one place. And all of them were led by Kai Carter and Ria Ross.
They were excited and scared at the same time. They were excited to see all these powerhouses fighting together and suppressed their enemies. However, a war that involved all these people was surely a big one. They wondered how big it would become even though the enemies only had three leaders and one hundred fifty thousand magical beasts.
Unfortunately, their answer couldn't be answered for the time being.
Kai needed to meet all the commanders that would help him in this battle.
He assembled all of them in a meeting room.
Other than him, he invited Ria Ross, all twelve Generals, three S Rank Magicians, and one SS Rank Magician.
It was such an amazing lineup, considering this was only a small battle in most people's minds.
"I don't know if you know me or not, but I will introduce myself again. I will be leading this war as the commander-in-chief, Kai Carter."
As soon as they heard his introduction, someone slammed the table as a middle-aged guy rose from his seat.
"I don't understand this. We are fighting an enemy half of our number with these people… Are you overestimating the war, kid?" The middle-aged man glared at him.
Kai's expression turned cold as he looked at him. The middle-aged man had long blue hair. His eyes were fierce as if he had gone through a hundred battles. His aged body was still robust and wouldn't lose its shine anytime soon.
He was the last S Rank Magician Kai had yet to meet, General Shawn.
"I don't want to waste my time on you. Speak… How do I make you submit?" Kai's tone was cold as if he already expected something like this. He was looking down on Shawn directly.
"What SSS Rank Magician? That rank is just for the hype of the people." Shawn snorted.
"I am telling you right now. Stand down now or I am going to beat you up." Kai released his killing intent. "Can't you even understand our situation?"
"You are the one not understanding."
Kai had enough as he suddenly disappeared.
Shawn suddenly covered his body with some sort of shining crystalline skin that hardened into that of a stone. He raised both hands as Kai reappeared right before him with his right foot kicking his hands.
Bam.
A powerful shock wave shook the room, but none of them flinched because this was to be expected. Shawn was the hardest person in the world as his power allowed him to cover himself not with metal but with the hardest mineral in the world, Diamond.
When everyone thought Kai failed to subdue Shawn, a Magic Circle appeared on top of his foot.
They thought a Magic Circle like that wouldn't help Kai that much, albeit they found it wrong after the next second.
Bam.
This time, the sound didn't come from their level or above their heads, it was the ground that generated such a loud sound to the point it began to tremble.
"!!!"
"Gah!" Shawn spat a mouthful of blood as he was crushed on the ground by Kai's right foot.
All the people stared at Kai in disbelief as they never thought Kai could defeat Shawn in one attack.
Ria Ross only closed her eyes, knowing it was coming.
"I am not in the mood to talk right now. If you can't even stand one blow against me… How do you even plan to take on three people who are at least three times stronger than me?"
"!!!" They couldn't believe what they just heard. Kai was already strong enough, yet, he admitted that the opponents were three times stronger than him… They instantly understood why Kai didn't have any mood to talk, as this situation might turn the entire base upside down.
"I am too young, I am underestimating the war, I am just the hype that the government creates, I am just a puppet, I am just a mere high schooler…" Kai looked at the remaining people. "Those who still object about me becoming the commander-in-chief stand up right now."
None of them said anything as they realized Kai was indeed the real deal.
"I am not afraid of the Magical Beasts. However, if those three fight together, we can only repel them. Even then, there may be a huge amount of sacrifice in order to repel them. However, I am aiming to hunt them." Kai finally took off his foot from Shawn and walked back to his seat. He sat and crossed his leg like a boss. Joining his hands together on top of his knees, he said, "Alright. Let's start our meeting."
