Chapter 314 314. Group 3
"Next team Beta, split in halves. One of you will be taking orders from Andrew and second from Victor. You will only listen to what they say.
Team Charlie, you will be staying in the control room, watching all the actions from the enemy side and reporting it to us at the soonest. Three of you will be responsible for delivering updates to my team, and two halves of team Beta.
Lastly, team Delta, will be following my commands. Any doubts?" Markus said, his voice all calm and collected, a perfect leader indeed.
"No sir!" All of them replied in unison.
"Let's move!" Markus ordered one last time before all of them started moving to their respective spots.
Thankfully the destruction of the island had created a lot of smoke and fumes in air, giving zero visibility to places nearby, which meant Markus's ship was safe till the dust was blown away by strong winds.
"Brother what are we supposed to do?" Nicole asked.
"Pick up your walkie talkie." Markus said and Nicole obeyed without any delay.
"I will be leaving this boat with half of team Delta. You and the rest of the team Delta will be giving us cover fire.
By the time we reach near that island ahead of this ship, the missiles would have destroyed their boundaries already. Team Charlie will locate their bases while Andrew and Victor will destroy them to make my way safer." Markus ordered everything in one breath.
"Brother, that's too dangerous. Let me accompany you. Rest of the team can give us cover fire." Nicole objected.
"Nicole, listen. You are good at this and hence I am entrusting you to this job. With you leading the cover fire, I will be assured of my safe entry. So don't think about other things and simply perform your duty properly." Marlus said, knowing Nicole will understand.
"Okay brother. Please take care of yourself." Nicole said, knowing she could not reject Markus's plan.
"Good. Now go and take your positions. We don't have much time." Markus said, knowing that their ship would soon be visible and the Professor won't delay such a great opportunity to destroy their ship.
Nicole simply nodded as ten men followed Markus while the remaining ten followed Nicole towards the second floor of the ship, from where she would give cover fire to Markus and his team.
Markus went to another section of the ship where smaller boats were present for them to descend down.
With his single nod, all of them wore their suits quickly, taking all the necessary equipment and weapons with them.
Four boats were pushed towards the end as Markus and the remaining ten men prepared to descend in the ocean.
"Boss, this is team Charlie." Suddenly Markus heard in his walkie talkie.
"Speak." Markus replied, knowing there must be some news for him.
"A ship has been speeding towards our direction from behind!" The man conveyed.
Markus was silent for almost ten seconds, shocked by the sudden news. Afterall planning an attack ahead of them was easier, but it was difficult to watch out there back at the same time.
"We are delaying the descent. I will head towards the control room right now." Markus said before running back towards the control room, his heart pumping the fastest it has ever been.
Within forty seconds, he was back in the control room, his breathing a little haggard, but he couldn't care less about that.
Markus directly went towards the scope, trying to cool down while watching what awaited them.
By the time he could see everything clearly, the ship behind them was too near them, and instead of just stopping by, it continued its way ahead by overtaking Markus's ship.
All of this happened in a mere time of thirty seconds giving Markus no time to react.
"Someone inform me about what's happening ahead!" Markus said in an urgent voice as the control room screen started showing the view in front of them.
Most of the missile fog had started dispelling but the ship overtaking them had blocked their view.
"Boss, it's our ship! Group 3 was supposed to take the same ship and follow us!" The captain of team Charlie alerted them.
"Group 3? 3… that's.. that's Kizy!" Markus said or more like mumbled to himself in utter shock.
"Increase our speed. We can not allow that ship to lead alone!!" Markus said, this time truly panicked from Kizy's stunt.
"Yes boss!" The captain answered before speeding up, understanding the severity of the situation.
*15 MINUTES AGO, IMPERIAL NATION*
"Professor, we can locate their ship ahead. But they are hiding behind the sacred island. Should we wait?" A man from the professor's team asked the professor.
But the Professor waited for some more time before finally answering the man.
"Destroy the island." Professor said, almost after thinking for a minute.
His decision was so shocking for the entire team that even the captain waited for a few seconds before taking action, which was destroying the sacred island, worried that the Professor might change his decision suddenly and he might have to suffer the Professor's wrath.
"Destroy." The professor replied once again.
And the person didn't need another warning. He instantly signalled his men, who in turns shot five missiles at the island while the professor stood there with stone cold expressions.
"Directly shoot their boat once the smoke died down. Let's finish this for once and all. Though I am sure he won't die this easily." Professor said while a slight smirk could be seen on his face, as if everything was within his control.
Within two minutes, the captain replied.
"We are ready to shoot."
The moment they were preparing to launch missiles, someone shouted -
"Look at that!"
And immediately, everyone's attention was towards the speeding boat who overtook Markus's ship in no time.
Professor, without delaying another minute, instantly took his binoculars, not feeling quite right about this sudden appearance. But the thing he saw next was enough to make him shout in shock.

Have a wonderful day ahead!
