Chapter 299: New Mission

“It’s about the Beast God Cult!” Barnard couldn’t help but say, “In the past ten years or so, the Beast God Cult has spread very quickly in the Southwest Military Region. The Southwest Military Region has discovered a large number of Beast God Cult members in the region. After you killed a Beast God Cult Bishop last time, the Beast God Cult still hasn’t given up. In the past month, most of our Southwest and North Regions have been reported to the Guardians. Many civilians, even some Beast Masters, have become followers of the Beast God Cult.”

The Illumination Empire’s federation was still divided into nine military departments according to the approximate region of the federation.

East, South, West, North, Southwest, Northwest, Southeast, Northeast, and the Headquarters in the middle of the Illumination Empire’s Federation.

Each military department was in charge of their respective cities.

“General Paul and Captain Bania both think that we have to act immediately to keep the Beast God Cult out of the Southwest,” Barnard said in a low voice. “If we wait any longer, when they gain a foothold in the North, they’ll spread out like a plague. If we’re too slow, the Northwest and West Military Departments will be our teaching materials. They’ll be very passive right now.”

Lugh asked doubtfully, “Very passive?”

“Of course they’re passive. Think about it. Those commoners, those Beast Masters, or even your family, all believe in that Beast God. They even advised you to believe in that godforsaken god. What do you feel?” Barnard held a cigarette in his mouth with a troubled expression.

He said, “I heard that in the Northwest Military, if they wanted to kill the members of the Beast God Cult, the army would feel that they were enemies all over the world. A large group of fanatical believers would stand out to protect those members of the Beast God Cult. They might even charge into the prison and get rid of those bastards.”

Lugh pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

If it really came to that situation, it would be very difficult to turn it around.

“They just have to believe in that broken god. What he said is of no help to the situation of the Illumination Empire Federation. If that Beast God can really appear and kill all the Fierce Beasts in the world, I might really believe it,” Barnard teased. “Just look at the situation in our neighbor, the Tianzu Kingdom. We can’t trust the gods at all. We can only rely on ourselves.”

Lugh was very clear about the situation in the Tianzu Kingdom.

Before the great calamity, the Tianzu Kingdom could be considered a country with a large population.

However, after their religion adapted to the era of the great calamity, changed their teachings, and completely took power, the majority of the civilians were immersed in a spiritual world that was self-numbing. The entire situation in the country quickly deteriorated.

If there were no problems on their side, how could Paul dare to bring the other side out to snatch the Fierce Beast eggs?

Lugh asked in a low voice, “The Northwest and West armies didn’t manage to control the Beast God Cult?”

“You can’t blame them for that,” Barnard said helplessly. “In the past few decades, the Fierce Beast riots in the Northwest and West have been extremely serious, resulting in the loss of many cities. In order to resist the attacks of the Fierce Beasts, they’ve exhausted a lot of their energy. I heard that even recruiting Beast Masters has become difficult. It can only be said that the situation is not good.”

Barnard said honestly, “Our Southwest is a little more stable. Other than the efforts of the higher-ups, it is also due to geographical reasons and luck.”

“Okay.”

The complicated geographical environment in the Southwest restricted the migration of Fierce Beasts, reducing the difficulty of defending many cities.

“When the time comes, it is very likely that the emergency teams will be transferred to other cities to defend and specifically wipe out the Beast God Cult to stop the spread of the Beast God Cult,” Barnard said in a low voice. “Your 14th Team has a very high probability of being selected.”

“Why?”

Barnard smiled and said, “Because of you.”

“Me?”

Lugh immediately understood.

“Yes, you’ve fought with the Beast God Cult twice, and your resistance to spirit-type skills is also very high.”

Barnard nodded and said, “You also have a very strong tracking ability. In the early stages, the disciples of the Beast God Cult often entered our Southwest Region with various identities. It’s very difficult to find them. We need you to dig them out one by one and kill them.”

Lugh touched his nose.

He suddenly realized that it was not a good thing for him to be too strong.

“You should be the most suitable candidate for our emergency team being sent.”

Lugh took a deep breath and said, “I understand. If there is really an order, I will go too.”

He had seen the followers of the Beast God Cult with the Bishop of the Beast God Cult the last time, and he was also very disgusted with them.

They were just a bunch of scum.

“Don’t be nervous. If we really sent you over, we definitely wouldn’t have left you alone,” Barnard said with a smile. “Our military will also give you the people who deserve it. We won’t let you fall into danger.”

“Mhm.”

The Southwest Military moved very quickly. In just two days, Lugh was notified to head to the Southwest Military.

He was brought directly into General Paul’s office.

In the office, Lugh also saw Barnard, Bania, and a few other Beast Masters.

Three of them were Lugh’s acquaintances.

Two of them were Star Glory Beast Masters who were proficient in spirit-type skills from the Emergency Response Team’s Special Operations Team. They had worked together with Lugh when they were recruiting members of the team.

As for the other one, if Lugh remembered correctly, he should be the captain of the worm train, Gaden.

Lugh had taken his train when he first came to Skylight City.

He still remembered what had happened before.

He had obtained the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly’s egg back then.

Just by recognizing them, he could see that there were two Star Glory Beast Masters and an elite Platinum Beast Master. Lugh realized that the staffing seemed a little luxurious this time.

“Let’s go. Let’s change to a spacious conference room.”

The group entered the conference room, and the door was shut.

Paul went straight to the point, roughly explaining the situation of the Beast God Cult’s continuous infiltration into the southwest.

“The Beast God Cult is a cancer. We absolutely won’t allow the Beast God Cult to enter the Southwest, so I guess I’ll gather everyone and set up a team specifically targeting the Beast God Cult at the last minute. The goal is to keep the Beast God Cult out.”

Paul’s gaze swept across everyone, “All of you are the elites of the Southwest Military. You are all experts that we have carefully selected. You have all had outstanding performances in dealing with the Beast God Cult. I hope that all of you will do your best to maintain the stability of the Southwest.”

“Yes, General.”

Lugh had long been mentally prepared.

Especially after seeing the staffing, he did not feel so conflicted.

“Now, Captain Bania will announce the team list and the mission arrangements.”

Lugh and the others looked at Bania quietly, waiting for him to announce the team list and the personnel arrangements.

Bania looked at everyone, he said in a deep voice, “This mission is very important and has a lot of responsibilities. The newly established temporary operation team and the emergency leading team, the 14th emergency team, will take the lead. Three members of the emergency team’s Special Operation Team will be Star Glory Beast Masters, as well as the former captain of the 1056 worm train, Gaden, and all the crew members of the 1056 worm train.”

“The Emergency Response Team’s Special Operations Team, Turner, Daler, and Charles will cooperate in the battle.”

“Train Captain Gaden will be in charge of logistics and troop transportation.”

“In the temporary operations team, the 14th Emergency Response Team’s Captain, Lugh, will be the temporary captain and commander.”

When Bania announced that Lugh would be the temporary team’s Captain, the three members of the Special Operations Team, as well as Gaden, looked at him in surprise.

Of the four main members of the temporary team, Lugh was the youngest.

One of the members of the Special Ops Team asked, “Captain Bania, can I ask you a question?”

“Charles, go ahead.”

Bania didn’t mind.

He had already guessed that someone would ask a question.

To be honest, he actually liked subordinates who would directly ask a question without hiding it.

“Why is the temporary team Captain Lugh?”

The Star Glory Beast Master who asked the question glanced at Lugh and smiled apologetically at him. “Lugh, let me clarify something first. I don’t have any objections to you. I just feel that you’re too young. I feel a little insecure.”

The others in the meeting room were all efficient.

Even Paul smiled a little as well.

Lugh smiled as well.

Although the other party doubted him, he could understand.

He had indeed established a lot of military merits recently.

But compared to these veteran Beast Masters, he was definitely still a little lacking.

In fact, he was also very curious as to why he was the team leader.
