After the team meeting, Shi Lang left the house again to visit Commander Silence. He needed to inform her about the resources he would need. However, he had a stock of his own, but he wanted to ask the Federation to provide him with the raw material for his expedition.


    The young mannded in front of the special camp of the shadow executioners. The specialty of the secret divisions was that none of the rules were ever overlooked. Even if Shi Lang was here for a meeting and his identity was exceptional, he needed to provide documents to guards before he could cross the post.


    The young man did not mind presenting his credentials and the message from the Commander''s office to prove that he had an appointment. After five minutes, he approached the familiar office building but could not help raising his brow. The office was now covered with defensive array formations.


    He could see that the guard posts had attack formations engraved on them too. Humans were genuinely marvelous. They would never cease to grow as long as they followed the right path. Shi Lang entered the office with his curious gaze. He sighed and came to the reception, and the soldier led him to the waiting area as there was still one minute left before the meeting.


    Shi Lang silently waited and, by habit, tried to use his spirit sense when he discovered that the ce was blocking his spiritual sensespletely. A minute passed quickly, and a slight jingle sounded. The receptiondy appeared before the center door and greeted an old man who came outside.


    This old man was surprised to look at Shi Lang in surprise. But, he stood up straight and saluted him. Shi Lang, who did not know the man, still returned his salute before he heard the attendant on the side say, "General, you can now enter the chamber."


    Shi Lang nodded and went ahead. He entered the room and closed his door. He looked at thedy behind the table and said, "Yo, boss. You look distressed."


    The Commander said, "I am wearing my mask, Lang."


    Shi Lang smiled goofily and said, "I know you enough to detect the gloom surrounding you. Wassup?"


    Archie Arkham shook her head and said, "You should not worry about this. It''s trivial. What made youe here at this hour? I need to get off work."


    Shi Lang smiled, and controlling hismunicator, he passed her the n outline and the list of supplies needed by the team. Archie Arkham began to look at the list and asked, "Are you going to conquer the gxy?"


    Shi Lang shrugged and said, "You can think of it like that. The enemy we are against could be a high-level demon. Even if the powers cannot be used to full extents, he will pose a big threat as this person could be several million years old."


    Archie Arkham was surprised and asked, "Isn''t that immortality?"


    Shi Lang shook his head and said, "You have mistaken the concept of immortality. Suppose the enemy is a demonic cultivator and is sent down to serve as a rearguard for those in the higher ne. Then he would be able to survive while facing some restrictions. However, if he tried to unleash his full potential, he would die from the bacsh of the heavens."


    Archie Arkham sighed and said, "You need to describe all these rules to everyone. Or things will be veryplicated in the future. Why don''t you publish a book?"


    Shi Lang smiled and said, "I do not need to. In the future, the two species will work hand in hand, and their elders will tell you all about it."


    Thedy nodded, and, looking at the documents on the hologram, she said, "You can execute the mission any way you find convenient. My biggest concern is your safety. So, I hope you can prioritize the same. We can fight against the people if we have talents like you alive."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "I have not yet gotten tired of my life that I will seek out death."


    Archie nodded and said, "I will arrange these for you by the morning. Where are you headed?"


    Shi Lang smiled and said, "That is a secret, this is a covert mission, and I do not trust anyone other than my team."


    Commander Silence nodded and said, "Well, I have something to tell you. Don''t mind the ugly words, but the council has asked you tomit suicide by vaporization so that you cannot be linked back to the Federation."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "Well, we have also nned this attack to be a one-off deal. If we failed, we would be facing something worse than death so. Do not worry."


    Archie Arkham nodded and said, "Godspeed, Soldier."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Shi Lang saluted her and left the office. However, as he reached the door, he turned around and said, "Boss, take care."


    His tone was solemn, and Commander Silence knew what he was talking about. He was asking her to take care as he would be leaving the Federation and Amelia, the second strongest on the. Thedy nodded, and then Shi Lang left the room.


    The young terran would probably fight with his strongest enemy, and he did not n on returning to the Federation before he could deal with the hidden threat. Also, his family and friends were still here. When he returned home, Unity sensed his mind was not focused.


    She asked, "What is bothering you?"


    Shi Lang sighed and said, "The inability to cast aary defense array bothers me. If only I had that high skill, I would have been able to calm down. Unfortunately, the possibility of another attack when we are gone is very high, and too much is at stake."


    Unity nodded and said, "I know. That is why I told Amelia to gather the spaceships from the resting fleets of your army around the twos and guard them in case of an attack. They all have defense arrays engraved on them. Then, in case of an attack, the spaceships could link with each other and form a defense array formation."


    Shi Lang was surprised, but then he breathed as he said, "Thank you, Senior Unity."


    Unity nodded when she saw the sincerity in his eyes. Shi Lang was someone who valued favors and cherished rtions. She did not mind helping him out. Another factor that helped her was the rtionship he had with her past. He was the closest tie she had in this ever-changing world.


    Shi Lang looked at Shi Tao and Crystal in the living room. He said, "Tao, you will stay home with grandpa and grandma. You will have to look after them, okay? Baba and Mom will take some time toe back from the mission. Will you be good?"


    Shi Tao''s smile vanished. She did not want her family to go away. However, she knew that it was an important thing. While Shi Lang was out, Amelia had already coaxed the girl into not demoralizing Shi Lang.


    The young girl nodded and tried to smile, but her eyes were too calm to express joy in her heart. Shi Lang carried her in his arms, and the girl embraced him. Then, leaving Crystal alone, the two came to the second floor of the vi, where Shi Lang took the girl to sit on the roof in his arms.


    He did not say anything to coax her. He knew the more affection he showed, the weaker his resolve would be. The two just sat there in silence before he stood up.


    Shi Lang did not move until the sun appeared on the horizon, and Shi Tao said, "It''s okay. You can go now. I will be good. But you must be careful and look after mom. She is very clumsy at caring for herself."


    Shi Lang nodded as the child passed him the instructions as if she was the elder and he was the child. He took her down and found everyone gathered in the living room.


    Unity said, "Crystal, return to the Citadel. Take young Tao and Shi Lang''s parents with you. Tell the council to look after them."


    Shi Lang was surprised and wanted to say something when Unity said, "I only want you to act without worrying about anything. Understood?"


    Shi Lang nodded, and Crystal said, "I understand, but senior, who will tend to you if I leave?"


    Unity thought briefly, saying, "That kid from the hawk n, Tick. Yes, send him over. He knows sword too."


    Crystal almost did not buckle over inughter and said, "But we may not have that much time."


    Unity rolled her eyes and said, "I will take you to the teleportation formation with my space portal. You can inform that guy right away. In fifteen minutes, everything will be sorted. Go."


    The young girl realized she had been shut down and nodded helplessly. Unity gave the people time to pack their belongings, and then she opened a space portal to the federal war.
