“We will exterminate the aliens in the valley before moving on.”

“!!!”

“That many?”

“Should we really exterminate them? Can’t we go around them?”

The girls looked concerned.

Nathan shook his head. “Unfortunately, it’s not possible. The surrounding area has a lot of alien groups. If we loop around, we are bound to encounter any of them, and there’s a high chance the aliens in this nest will come to us.

“When that happens, encircling us shouldn’t be that hard with their number. On the other hand, if we completely abandon this area and loop with a much higher radius, the time it will take is not something I want to think of. There’s also a chance of unknown variables to come.

“On the other hand, if we go straight by exterminating these aliens, we can create a path that we can use for the return trip as well. And only the groups near the hills will be coming toward us. I don’t know if it’s more or less, but it’s more definite than fighting in other places.

“Besides, the hill itself gives us a lot of advantage, so fighting in this terrain will make it easier. Hence, I choose to exterminate these aliens.”

After listening to his explanation, they agreed with the decision. Selena asked, “By the way, what’s their strength? Since there are so many aliens…”

“Yeah. According to Jinwu, there are at least 2 warrior class aliens with over ten mature class aliens. The total number is above one thousand, not counting the group that will pincer us. Fortunately, those groups don’t have warrior class aliens. Only a couple of mature class aliens. Even if they come together, the total number won’t be more than two thousand.

“However, unexpected hiding spots can’t be ignored as well, so proceed with caution,” explained Nathan.

“If we are going to attack them, how are we going to do it?” Flora asked. The main problem was not this place. It was the aliens in their destination.

Nathan nodded and raised two fingers. “Because these aliens are located in a valley, we will ambush them by using the terrain advantage. Two people will split up from the group to hold back the incoming aliens from pincering us.

“And those two people are Noelle and… me.”

“!!!” They were stunned. They didn’t expect Nathan to be the one holding them back. With his Gun Control System and commanding ability, it was better if Nathan stayed in the middle. That was why they expected Noelle and Selena to be the ones holding them off.

“What’s going on?” Selena frowned. “We have agreed that it’s my job to handle a flanking attack.”

Nathan’s expression remained calm. Instead of answering her, Nathan continued, “Alavenya and Flora will focus on dealing with the lower-level aliens. Make sure that they can’t harm anyone at the party, especially Selena and Sera.”

“Ah?!” Flora seemed to have figured out his plan. “But isn’t that…”

Nathan nodded. He finally turned his head to Layfon. “Sir Layfon. I know that this is not a part of the mission. However, I hope you take my consideration carefully regarding this nest. It’s an extremely dangerous place, which can cause unknown variables to mess up our plans.

“To avoid such a thing when we are in alien territory, we would like to have a head-on clash. As such, I would like to request that you alter the mission slightly and include this place as a part of the mission.

“The ones who will take down the warrior class aliens are Selena and Serafina. The rest will be taking care of the rest of the aliens.”

“…” Layfon fell silent. Nathan had truly explained everything. Normally, he would agree. But because of the mission, he had to carefully consider his opinion to ensure the fairness of the mission. This was a test to see whether they were ready or not to enter the alien territory after all.

After two minutes, Layfon nodded his head. “Alright. I shall include this place on the mission.”

“Thank you… for including this place in the mission… as well as… confirming that each of us has to take down a warrior class alien on our own,” Nathan added playfully.

“Ah!” Layfon dropped his jaw, realizing that he had given away information to Nathan. “Wait… You…”

Layfon was speechless. By accepting Nathan’s request, he basically confirmed this mission. Even though Nathan had expected it before, it was just a speculation. Now that he knew the exact mission, he could be bolder.

If Vivian were here, she would have smiled, seeing someone who fell for Nathan’s trick like her.

Nathan immediately moved on and continued, “Anyway, Selena and Sera will be the main attackers. Any objections?”

The reason he chose Sera and Selena was due to their abilities. Sera was their support. By completing her individual task in this place, he eliminated the time Sera had to fight in a much more dangerous place, which would weaken their group.

Meanwhile, Selena’s power was overwhelming. If she were released from her task, Selena could be placed anywhere. Selena was more than capable of leading the girls as well. In addition, Selena would be one of the fastest people to kill a warrior class alien among them, so once she was done, she could immediately help Alavenya and Flora, allowing Sera to fight comfortably.

Hence, Nathan believed these two should be the first ones to take down the warrior class alien.

No one raised their objection, so Nathan added, “Tell Brunhild and Asmodeus to go all out. This time, I want Raphael to focus on healing everyone because I need Anubis to conserve his power for the time being.

“Although we are clearing up the path, the enemy number is too high. Watch out for the aliens.

“Selena. Go all out from the start. The sooner we finish this, the earlier we reach there. We’ll set up a camp there before starting the real mission on the third day.

“If you don’t have any objection or question, please get some rest. We have four exhausting days ahead of us.”
