Chapter 1390 - Unit

Philip, Watt, and Jack arrived at the base wherein a large room that looked like a training room there are a group of ten people standing in the middle.

They all stood in attention and they are all wearing this big cloak attire with a hood covering their heads and their faces covered with translucent red crystal masks.

The masks didn't cover their faces completely. Most of the upper part of their face is covered with only a bit of forehead right below the scalp is revealed.

The bottom half of the mask is uncovered at the mouth part with both sides of the jaws covered.

Their eyes are not visible outside as they are covered with black lenses too.

The trio took a quick look around and Philip stopped in front of one of them and touched on the cloak.

The arms of the people are covered with red metallic fiber gloves and when their cloak is moved a bit, there is this very fine armor underneath. The armor is very thing almost as if it is a scuba diving suit tight to the skin.

The whole body is completely covered and it could be said that there is not a single millimeter of the flesh that revealed out except for the little skin on their face.

On that well-designed armor, there is a small bump on the chest which is actually a bump created to place something from inside.

After examining everything, Philip looked at them once again and said.

"You guys are the First Fire Unit. You can name it however you like it after the final test. But no matter what you call yourselves, you are but a death squad under the Dusk Organization. You will be under the direct command of your boss Sam and in his absence us three.

You wouldn't take any commands from the rest of the members of the organization. Whether they are the elders, administrators, or even our own wives if they are present.

Between you, choose a leader by the end of the week, and in the absence of everyone else, you will follow that person's orders.

But do remember, that the leader's head will be the first one to roll if he leads you all into something against our wishes.

You are not for sale and you are not going to be bought by someone promising you any benefits that are known to man.

I am pretty sure, your training under Sam's special squad has already made sure that you understand that.

Now, let's go for your test and we will talk again later."

With that, the unit of soldiers moved simultaneously in an order out of the training hall and they were led out of the base.

Soon they arrived in front of a large wall where an elevator awaited them.

They went to the top of the wall and from within they can see a lot of massive beasts roaming here and there. It is a large area surrounded by a big wall with a large patch of forest inside.

The trio stood there and Philip spoke once again.

"You need to get rid of every creature in this place. Every one of your cultivation level is of Middle-stage Astral Plane transcendence and every single creature has a cultivation level at the minimum of Late stage Transcendence and the last one is at peak of Astral Plane transcendence almost one foot into the Astral Plane Consummation.

Your goal is to make sure that not a single living creature is present. I don't care if you are going to be discreet. I don't care if you work together, use the strategies you learned in your training, or if you are going to work together as a single entity. 

But All I need is that everything there needs to be burned to nothing. Do you understand?"

"YES SIR."

"Your test starts now."

As soon as he spoke, the squad took out their weapons, one had a bow, the other had a staff. One spear user, a saber user, some don't have weapons.

But all ten of them immediately jumped off the wall as their whole bodies are covered with flames.

Philip stood there as he looked at the move while Jack and Watt checked the data regarding what kind of targets were left in the large area.

"This test is really a bit troublesome. Do you think they would pull it off? This kind of reminds me of the first test I had back in Marquis city during that large selection process.

"Yeah, I remember that too. You almost got your ass handed to you." Jack said from the side.

"What do you mean by that? Did you remember? I hung down ten guys from an arch. Do you think you could have done a better job?" Watt who is obviously pissed shot back.

"Of course, I would have. It seems like you don't remember how badass I was even at that time. I am the best swordsman there is."

"Like hell you were. You might be good now, you were just so so."

"Stop it, you guys? When did you become so childish?" Philip interrupted their banter and Watt couldn't help but chuckle.

"Since when did you become so uptight. Weren't you the clown of the group? You were like this since we came back. Relax a bit alright?"

Philip sighed and sat on the edge of the wall. Watt and Jack joined him as they popped open a bottle.

"I am just pressured alright. That asshole just gave me this information and left. What does he expect me to do? And I couldn't even fathom how he managed to cook up such a large plan in such a short time and even thought of sending it to me.

The next time I meet him, I will beat the crap out of him."

"Like you could beat him up. Anyway, currently, every single of our plans is going well. Even the first unit got ready. If everything goes well. We would be finished by the end of this year. Another six months and we can start the war.

So, breath in a bit."

"I know. But it is still a bit of pressure. But I couldn't help but wonder one thing. Why did he hide all of these things? In six months we managed to build half of these things without a hitch when we delegated it to the rest.

Most of the research for the second half of the remaining products was also done. The whole thing leaps and bounds ahead of his regular research. Most of the products are also extremely saleable. People would take auctions for every batch even if we mass-produce them.

Why is he is not doing that?

Instead, he was stuck with this energy efficiency thing, the food, liquor, even clothes.

If he made these things, he would have a proper army that could help him in any way possible and he could also earn a lot of money and expansion would be easier, in fact, he wouldn't have had to resort to so much effort when he is fighting"

Philip said with a sigh as he looked at the raging flames far away in the test area.

"I don't know why, but there is one thing I could tell you. One thing I noticed in particular." Watt said as he took a huge swig.

"What is it?"

"All the products we are manufacturing from the past six months are either things that could kill or things that aid the things that could kill.

This is one big production of destruction. That is what we are doing.

Maybe, just maybe he just doesn't want to go down the path of destruction once again and even then he couldn't help but create one or two dangerous things.

You have seen what the controlled explosion formations created by those liquid energy cells could do right? They are way too lethal and destructive."

All three of them turned silent when Watt said this, they couldn't help but feel that he is right. If Sam went down the path of a pure arms dealer and with the chaos this world is actually in, he would have been easily able to rack up fortunes, conquer lands and collect subordinates without even moving a finger.

But he always chose to continue his research on making puppets, energy production, and such. Most of them are even auxiliary.

Maybe they are right, but they cannot say it for sure. After all, it is not like they completely understood what goes on in Sam's head.

As they were thinking and sighing, they saw the ten red figures coming towards the wall. The ten of them kicked the ground near the wall and the flaming explosions sent them up and they almost scaled half of the wall in one leap.

And they quickly kept on climbing up.

The trio once again focused on the test area and there is a satisfying smile on their face. The lush and green test area is currently burning down turning to ashes. Philip took out a tablet to take a look and he couldn't help but smile wider. This is the complete three-dimensional surveillance network they established in the test area.

No matter which spot he checked, everything present in that spot is completely dead and burning.
