When Valdis heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Dylan beside him.
When the latter saw the other party's gaze, he lowered his head in shame.
Obviously, such an abnormality occurred on his own territory, but he did not notice anything. In the end, an outsider discovered it first, which made General Valdis very dissatisfied.
But Dylan was really helpless.
The shadow in that area was indeed too hidden, and it was impossible to detect it with the technology he possessed. He really couldn't blame him for this.
Valdis also knew this, so he did not dwell too much on this matter and asked instead:
"Sir Michael, may I ask if the Covenant has ever encountered a similar situation? What does this shadow mean? Can we find a way to deal with it effectively?"
The general asked the most crucial question.
Dane nodded and said:
"There are currently two speculations on our side regarding this shadow."
"The first one, judging from its form, is very similar to a monster called the 'Shadow Demon' that we once eliminated. It is possible that this one is just a higher-level evolution of it."
"However, according to our observations, the probability that this is the Shadow Demon is not high, because the opponent does not reflect the characteristics of the Shadow Demon in many aspects..."
"The second possibility is that it was a projection before the monster appeared. If this is really the case, the situation may be more serious than we imagined..."
"Because so far, among all the alien species we have discovered, none of them can have such an impact just by relying on projection..."
"If this is the case, then we will need more defensive power to be prepared to deal with the upcoming threats..."
After he finished speaking, he paused slightly to give everyone time to digest.
The conference room also fell into silence, including General Valdis, and everyone on the Obaglia side fell into silence.
After a moment, Dane's voice sounded again.
"Of course, the above two situations are just speculation, and we do not rule out other possibilities."
"Although the Covenant has been fighting these monsters for hundreds of years, we can't say we know them very well..."
"They come from another completely unknown world, and their types and numbers are countless. New types often appear that we have never encountered before..."
"This part of the extraordinary realm has always been shrouded in a layer of fog, and we still need to continue to explore..."
"So, my suggestion is to prepare everything according to the worst-case scenario. With your current defensive strength, I am afraid it is still a bit empty. I will also apply to the organization to mobilize other awakened people."
After listening to his story, Dylan and others had a new understanding of this incident.
Although Valdis wanted to ask some detailed questions immediately, such as what the shadow demon in the opponent's mouth was and what its so-called characteristics were.
How many alien types are currently known to the Covenant, and how can extraordinary powers be obtained?
These questions were lingering in his mind like maggots on his tarsus. Without answers, he felt extremely uncomfortable all over his body.
However, he also understood that before the alien information sharing plan was fully signed, the other party would not easily disclose those things to him.
What I have to do now is to go back to the parliament, and then discuss this matter carefully with several other old-fashioned people, trying to get my side to reach an agreement as soon as possible and join this plan.
On the side, Dylan showed a surprised expression after hearing what he said.
"Your Excellency...are you saying that the power we have deployed here is not enough to fight against that monster...?"
He really didn't expect the other party to say that.
Because the top management attaches great importance to this operation, the army stationed here is an entire legion - the Third Army.
This is also their elite army. This size is more than enough for even a local war.
However, even with such a force, the opponent still said it was "a bit empty", which made Dylan confused.
After thinking for a while, he seemed to understand why Lord Michael had such a reaction.
Perhaps, he may not even know what the Third Army here means.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the other party, these legions are just larger in number, and their strength is still similar to that of the previous group of special forces members, right?
hehe……
It seems that this so-called Star Alliance is not proficient in everything...
At least the understanding of military strength is still somewhat lacking.
"Your Excellency, you must have misunderstood... What we stationed here this time is the most elite Third Army. It has the most advanced equipment in the world, with more than 6,500 people, and even has remote support from the sea... "
Dylan had a wry smile on his face, but there was already a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Please forgive me for being presumptuous. I know that you control powerful extraordinary power and have rich experience...but you may not understand the destructive capabilities of our modern army..."
"Without considering the hostages, purely in terms of lethality, we can destroy all living creatures in this world in an instant, even if it is a monster. If it really dares to appear, we will definitely let it see what it will do. That’s the real destruction!”
Dylan finished speaking in one breath, and his tone became a little impassioned later on.
At this moment, he felt that the depression that had been bothering him had subsided a lot, and he finally took a breath in front of this mysterious extraordinary strength.
In fact, considering the other party's face issue, there was something else he didn't say. Even if he did say these words, they were already careful words after careful consideration.
In Dylan's view, you are indeed the master of a powerful supernatural power, and you can destroy so many terrifying monsters by yourself.
If his special operations team had a head-on confrontation with the other party, it might not really be his opponent.
But that’s all.
No matter how powerful the extraordinary power is, it is still not enough when faced with real military strength.
"Haha, Blanco is right. Our place belongs to the border of Candor Creek Grassland. Apart from Alterac Village, there are no other towns around it."
"So, I have the authority to authorize them to use weapons of mass destruction if necessary."
Valdis's meaning is also very clear, that is, the force he deployed here is actually enough, and there is no need to increase the number of troops.
In fact, as one of the members of the cabinet, he naturally knows much more than Dylan.
Valdis still knew something about the strength of these monsters.
Judging from some of the intelligence collected, some individuals do possess strong strength and can even fight against small armies.
But there are too few such examples, at least among the information Valdis knows, there are only one or two.
Moreover, what they faced were just ordinary marine troops, and even these troops had not touched any real killer weapons.
Take the incident that happened in China as an example. The giant, which was as huge as a mountain, was also solved by extraordinary beings. The army did not launch a devastating blow on it.
Valdis knew that this was because the monster appeared on the edge of the city. In order to avoid harming the civilians in the city, it was impossible for the military to directly dispatch weapons of mass destruction.
But Obaglia is different.
This time the incident occurred on the deserted Cando Creek grassland. Even if the military detonated a nuclear bomb here, it would not cause accidental damage.
Of course, Obaglia currently does not stockpile nuclear weapons.
But if it does get to that point, with current domestic technology, uranium or plutonium bombs can be produced within 24 hours.
Valdis believed that the matter was not that serious. It was probably because these extraordinary beings did not know much about modern military power that they would say such ridiculous things.
Seeing the relaxed expressions of the people in the room, Dane and Remy felt confused.
They couldn't figure out who gave these guys such courage and confidence.
And you say you don’t understand military power at all?
Are you kidding? The Covenant has almost built a space mecha now, and I have been to a space destroyer like Dawn more than once. Are you telling me that we don’t understand the power of technology?
It’s because you don’t understand alien species at all!
Who is ignorant?
Dane couldn't complain anymore. He just felt that there were too many flaws and he didn't know where to put it better.
"General Valdis, we all understand what you said... However, the strength of the alien species is by no means as simple as you think. Based on our experience, the defensive strength here must be more than doubled..."
It was Remy who spoke this time. He said it more euphemistically, but his meaning was very clear.
Before the other party could give an answer, Dane spoke up first.
"General, I have faced all kinds of weird creatures. The only fear I know is far beyond what you can imagine. Your team knows nothing about the aliens!"
His tone was very serious, and the expression on his face was extremely serious.
"Believe me, this is definitely not a joke on you, and it is definitely not alarmist! Based on our current judgment, if the worst situation develops, the monster on the grassland will definitely not be able to be dealt with by these people!!"
Dane spoke with a trace of anger in his words.
He was angry, how could these people drop the chain at this time and turn a deaf ear to his warning? This is completely irresponsible to all the people of this country.
Although Valdez made some empirical mistakes before, he is ultimately a qualified general and a qualified parliamentarian.
After Dane said the following words, he immediately woke up.
Maybe, things are not as I thought, the other party is not a military novice at all, but the monster is so terrifying, it really exceeds my imagination...
At the end of the day, they are the real professionals after all.
"This... Sir Michael, is the strength of that monster really so terrifying...?"
Dane nodded very seriously.
There are some things that he won't explain too much to the other party, because even if he does, he can't understand them in just a few words.
If this monster is really just a projection before its arrival and can have such an impact, then its true strength will definitely be unimaginable.
Maybe, it's not necessarily that this is another extraordinary dark spirit user.
In this situation, even the Covenant has no experience and cannot judge the level of a monster through projection alone.
For example, Ore Stokes last time. Although it was an extraordinary God of the Old Ones, it was in a sealed state when it was projected, so its power may not be able to affect it here.
This also caused the Covenant to lose an important criterion for judgment.
In this regard, they can only prepare for the worst.
"I see……"
The expression on Valdis's face became equally solemn.
Although it is said that mobilizing a legion will consume a lot of funds.
But he didn't dare to bet. On this matter, he still chose to believe the other party.
That is to say, if he were here, if he were replaced by several other old antiques in the Council, I am afraid that he would never agree to this seemingly absurd request.
Dylan on the side said it was a bit incredible, he didn't expect his general to say that.
But since the boss has agreed, then he, the younger brother, doesn't have any objections.
Finally, the meeting ended with both parties reaching a consensus.
Obaglia will also transfer the Fifth Army Corps stationed at Fort Stein to assist the Third Army in defense.
However, due to the distance, the transfer may not be that fast this time, and it will also incur a huge expense.
As for the Covenant, Dane and Remy will stay. As for the number of other awakened people who can come to support, he has not yet made a clear guarantee.
But one thing is certain, according to the reply from the organization, there will be at least one controller and more than three spiritual enlighteners coming.
Valdis didn't know what controller and spiritual enlightener meant, but judging from the other person's tone and expression, this should be considered a force that should not be underestimated.
Although before seeing it with his own eyes, it was really hard for him to imagine what kind of impact just four people could have on the occupation.
"Now, we will stay here temporarily. The Star Alliance's satellites are also keeping an eye on the situation on the grassland. If anything unusual happens, we will contact you immediately."
Dane and Remy went to the house specially prepared for them by the Third Army. The environment here was actually quite good, and there was no trace of it being a temporary camp built in just two hours.
However, before they could rest for a long time, a piece of news came from the organization, which made them immediately change their expressions and quickly called Valdis.
