Chapter 422: Monitoring Zefa, a Strange Mission

Chapter 422: Monitoring Zefa, a Strange Mission

"But this time, after Zefa came back, he always smiled and was very polite to everyone. No matter what others said to him, he listened patiently with a smile on his face, but he would not express any opinions.

"Perhaps to others, Zefa's action would make them feel that he knows how to respect others and is a good listener, but he is the same to us, giving us, a group of old comrades, a strong sense of strangeness and distance.

"Not only that, Zefa's scheming has become much deeper than before. In the past year, he has done some seemingly random things, but after a while, he discovered that there were other meanings. If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal..."

Zhan Guo frowned even more tightly and said, "The most important thing is that Zefa is deliberately trying to win people's hearts. In this year, apart from your direct lineage, many people have become very close to Zefa.

"I don't even know how he did it, but many people praised him and admired him. Considering his current deep scheming, I have no idea why he bought people's hearts, but it gave me a bad feeling."

"Do the Five Elders know about the situation you mentioned?" Lu Kai asked a crucial question.

Zhan Guo nodded and said, "I reported it to the Five Elders, but they didn't take it too seriously."

"Maybe this is what they want to see!" Lu Kai said nonchalantly, "Teacher Zefa may just be going with the flow."

Zhan Guo suddenly smiled and asked, "You don't care?"

Lu Kai naturally knew what Zhan Guo was asking, and shook his head and said, "The Five Elders have always liked balance, and they would never allow me to dominate the navy alone. It is only a matter of time before such a day comes. I have actually been mentally prepared for this, and I don't find it strange. As long as I can fight crime and evil, I don't care about my status."

Zhan Guo nodded and said, "Perhaps the Five Elders did do it on purpose, but if it was the old Zephyr, he would never go with the flow."

From what Zhan Guo said, Lu Kai could clearly feel that Zhan Guo was resentful towards the Five Elder Stars.

You have to know that Lu Kai had never heard Zhan Guo say a word against the Five Elders before, but now he actually expressed it in front of him. When he heard Lu Kai talking about the Five Elders, he did not stop or scold him.

"Do you know why when Zefa was the chief instructor of the Navy and trained so many disciples, the Five Elders, Mr. Steel Bone and I all had great confidence in him?"

Without waiting for Lu Kai to answer, Zhan Guo continued, "Because Zefa has always been wholeheartedly training the new generation of navy, and has never tried to buy people's hearts or form cliques. If Zefa is willing, he can work in this position until he can no longer do it. No one is more suitable than him."

"Marshal Zhan Guo, you are telling me all this today. Do you have a mission for me?" Lu Kai suddenly asked.

Zhan Guo has never been a person who likes to talk nonsense, but he talked so much to Lu Kai today. There must be a reason for that, so Lu Kai asked directly.

"That's right!" Zhan Guo nodded seriously, "I want you to monitor Zefa's every move as much as possible from today on. No matter what he wants to do, we must at least know what's going on.

"I don't want to speculate about my old comrade with malice, but my duty forces me to do so. If it turns out that we were overthinking, then that's good, but if our concerns are true, then we have to prepare early."

Lu Kai nodded solemnly and accepted the task.

In fact, there is really no one more suitable for this task than him. Only he can monitor Zefa without being discovered.

Lu Kai and Kuzan had long been suspicious of Zefa, and after hearing about the results of the battle today, Lu Kai's suspicions became even stronger, so Lu Kai immediately contacted Kuzan to inquire about his location, and then immediately opened the space channel and rushed to Kuzan's location without stopping.

A year ago, Lu Kai and Ku Zan noticed that something was wrong with Zefa and decided to monitor Zefa. The task of monitoring Zefa over the past year also fell on Ku Zan. There were some things that Lu Kai wanted to discuss with Ku Zan.

……

On the other side of the world, in the South China Sea, on Pakaleli Island, the Third Iron Army's warship 'Iron Army No. 3' was docked at an uninhabited coast.

On the deck of the 'Iron Army No. 3', Captain Sato, Deputy Captain Pameron and Sabin of the Third Iron Army were playing cards around a table out of boredom, with many soldiers of the Third Iron Army watching from the side.

Senna, who has now become the chief instructor of the Third Iron Army, did not join them. Instead, she sat alone about ten meters away from them, holding a piece of paper and reading it repeatedly with a frown on her face.

What was written on the paper was a support mission received by the Third Iron Army, saying that an unexpected enemy had appeared on Pakalelli Island, and that all members of the Third Iron Army were to be on standby outside the island. Once the battle started, all members of the Third Iron Army would be dispatched immediately to assist the World Government and another team sent by the Navy Headquarters to capture this unexpected enemy.

This task seemed to be fine, but Senna always felt something was wrong.

It’s just the South China Sea. What kind of enemy could be worthy of the joint efforts of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters?

If there really is such an enemy, the Third Iron Army should be the main attacker, while the others should play supporting roles. After all, the Third Iron Army has been famous over the years, and its powerful combat capability is known to everyone in the world.

Although the World Government also has powerful fighters, most of them are in the major CP organizations.

CP is an intelligence organization. The stronger their members are, the more their identities need to be kept secret. Therefore, they rarely appear on the front battlefield. It is most reasonable to let the Third Iron Army take the lead in the counterattack.

But the order specifically asked the Third Iron Army to provide assistance.

It would be fine if it was just to provide assistance, but the entire Third Iron Army was required to be dispatched instead of just transferring some elite troops to provide support. Does this mean that the mission does not need to be kept secret, and it doesn't matter if many people know about it, but the enemy is an existence beyond imagination?

But this brings us back to the first point. If this is really the case, the Third Iron Army, which is better at frontal combat, should be the main attack.

What's more, the order specifically mentioned that the Third Iron Army should be on standby at a designated location outside the island and would go to provide support after hearing the sound of fighting. Isn't the person who issued the order afraid that the Third Iron Army would not be able to arrive in time, resulting in mission failure?

This strange order made Senna feel very uneasy, but the order did come from the operations room of the Navy Headquarters, and it could not be faked.

Senna just felt a headache at the moment. Although she was very smart and had learned a lot from following Fuya for so many years, she could not make an accurate judgment without any other information.

West of Pakaleli Island, in the center of Fushan Town, two figures were confronting each other, while hundreds of people were surrounding them.

One of the figures was wearing a dog-head mask and a white hooded cloak. The word "Tengu" was written on the left front of the cloak, and the word "Divine Punishment" was written on the back.
