We begin preparations to exterminate the seeds as soon as the meeting ends.
There are a lot of things we need to take care of. Especially about the labor required for such a large operation.
In any case, Alice has managed to find more than two thousand infected people only in the capital, and we plan to catch them in the shortest time possible to avoid complications.
And even though the emperor had given Principal Evelyn the authority to deal with this matter as she wished, in truth, it was tantamount to avoiding responsibility.
The proof was that he had never mentioned anything about cooperating with the Imperial Guards or anything like that.
The Emperor basically told Evelyn to take care of everything herself.
That way, if something bad happened, he could push the responsibility on her.
Fortunately, labor problems are easily solved.
From the academy side, Principal Evelyn requested the help of some teachers plus some outstanding students. In total, he gathered fifty people plus the two outer layer powerhouses the last twelve times.
In addition, Alice also cooperated in lending us some of her family's troops. One hundred elite soldiers to be exact.
And I also asked Saintess Safelia for help secretly. He agreed to help us under the guise that the church could not accept the existence of someone manipulating the minds of citizens.
So, we received another hundred and fifty elite soldiers.
With that, the number of people we have for that operation is three hundred, each of them an elite powerhouse of the fourth layer or higher.
I can't harness the power of the Red Skull Gang, for obvious reasons. Although I can disguise it as a favor coming from the church, it is better not to force something if one starts to suspect something.
After the problems with labor with the deal, the operation can finally start smoothly.
We named it, Seed Withdrawal Operation.
Not a very original name, but it illustrates our purpose quite well.
The next day, three hundred people stood on the academy grounds, waiting for orders.
In front of them, Principal Evelyn, Dina, Alice, Ysnay, Saintess Safelia, the two powerhouses outside the twelfth layer, and I are coordinating operations.
After speaking with Evelyn, we decided to make Dina the leader of this operation. This was a good opportunity to increase his position in the empire.
Evelyn and one of the twelfth-tier powerhouses will remain in the sky the entire time the operation takes place, keeping an eye on the situation and ready to intervene in case something goes wrong. As for the last twelfth-tier powerhouse, he would stay behind to protect the commander, Dina.
Just in case, I also left Daisy with Dina, so that she could work as Dina's assistant.
Other than them, Alice and Ysnay would stay behind as well to watch the situation with their fate.I was confused when Ysnay asked to stay, but he told me that he would teach Alice some things.
I'm not sure about Ysnay's intentions, but I didn't bother to stop him. If Ysnay wants to talk to Alice, she can do it even if I try to disturb her.
Besides, I can't be next to Ysnay any time of the day just to see she's not planning anything.
No one was better at planning that for her. At least, I've never met anyone like that.
So, I just believed in the precautions I took and stayed alert.I was ready to move as soon as I saw something wrong.
I also warned Alice to be careful of him.
Surprisingly, Alice looked at me with a pitiful expression, as if asking for help.
… Sorry girl, don't hate me.
Saintess Safelia, under my advice, decided to return to the church and get ready to mobilize the church knights if the situation turned bad.
When everything was ready to start the operation, Dina took a step forward to talk to the soldiers.
“You have all heard the details of the situation, but I must remind you that the person you are about to catch is considered dangerous. So, even though the person you should catch is children, you should be very careful and not lose your guard.
“Due to the dangerous situation, we decided to divide you into a hundred groups of three people. Each group will receive around twenty or so targets that you must capture. Remember, you have to work together all the time, and you have to try to capture the target alive if possible. But if they show hostile intent, you are free to attack.
“There are some of you who have questions? Otherwise, I will start dividing the group and setting a target.”
No one said anything, so Dina proceeded to form the group. He does his best to gather acquaintances in an effort to make teamwork easier.
Because of that, I ended up being grouped with Katherine and Rose.
… Yes, I also participated in this operation. That's vivid.
Although Evelyn looked at me strangely when I suggested participating, I didn't mind. The fact that I'm a super overpowering character doesn't mean I'm not interested in this kind of show.
Plus, it's a great opportunity to collect affection points with Katherine and Rose.
In fact, the reason I got a group with Katherine and Rose was because of my skillful manipulation behind the scenes.
“I hope we have a happy cooperation.” I smiled brightly at the two beautiful girls.
Katherine rolled her eyes and snorted. Rose, on the other hand, replied with a troubled smile.
I frowned almost instantly, something was wrong with Rose.
She's too.. Depressed?
As a Hero, Rose has always been a very passionate girl. The fact that she was depressed like this showed that something was wrong with her.
Well, it's not hard to find the reason.
As expected, he was still troubled by that.
