Chapter 2650 Textbook-Level Emergency Response!

Inside the banquet hall on the top floor of the General's Castle Keep.

The air here is so stagnant it feels like you could wring water out of it.

Five eerie green beams of light pierced the sky and earth outside the window.

Like the hideous wounds revealed after the collapse of the giant pillars that support the sky in mythology.

It is continuously spewing the energy of the planet's life source into the sky.

The light was not warm.

Rather, it is a cold, tyrannical, and primal radiance.

The daytime atmosphere of Edo Castle is rendered eerie and terrifying.

A commotion and gasps of alarm began to rise from the streets outside the city.

Panic spread like a plague along the streets and rivers.

General Flying Squirrel stared at the beams of light.

My gaze swept over their approximate locations one by one.

It corresponds one-to-one with the Edo map memorized in my mind.

"So they still couldn't hold them all?"

A low sigh echoed in the hall.

This is not a question, but a weighty statement.

The sigh of the flying squirrel general contained complex emotions.

There is a slight regret that we were unable to achieve complete success.

It also includes a calm assessment of established facts and a focused approach to quickly devising follow-up strategies.

Actually.

They were able to successfully regain control of the seven "Dragon Lairs" from "Tenshoin Naraku" in such a short time.

And their immediate action in securing Edo Airport was a textbook example of an emergency response.

The biggest challenge they faced at the time was the exact location of the 'dragon's lair'.

Said it before.

This is a top secret that only the former 'Heavenly Daoists' could master.

Fortunately, officials from the World Government branch in Kyoto learned of the specific situation.

A meeting was immediately convened for a brief but intense discussion.

Less than five minutes.

The flying squirrel received a phone call.

A clear and organized voice proposed two parallel solutions.

"General Flying Squirrel, we believe there are two methods to find the location information of the 'dragon's lair'."

"Firstly, we can leverage our ability to foresee the future, since the enemy's goal is to detonate these Altana nodes."

"Then it won't be long before these locations experience violent energy bursts."

"If a reliable person with precognitive abilities could see the future, they could deduce its real-world coordinates and prepare accordingly."

"We originally planned to contact Haixing and have them send someone over as soon as possible."

"For example, the Islamic leader of Anning Road, or Mr. Ubuyashiki Kagaya."

"Then we thought that there happened to be a witch from Aguo in your General City who has the ability of 'clairvoyance', so we could ask her to give it a try."

The other person paused slightly, then continued:

"Secondly, it allows Admiral Kizaru's flagship, the Freya, to access the largest known energy source on Gintama from space."

"We scanned and recorded the energy spectrum of the 'Dragon's Lair' beneath Edo Airport."

"Subsequently, using this energy spectrum as a template, a high-precision broad-spectrum scan was conducted across the entire Edo region to analyze energy nodes with highly similar spectral characteristics."

"The plan is highly feasible, but it requires the cooperation of Admiral Kizaru, and the scanning and data analysis will take some time."

The unnamed official remained calm throughout.

"It is recommended that the information and analysis results be cross-verified to accurately determine the specific locations of the twelve secondary 'dragon lairs'."

"We will contact Admiral Kizaru immediately."

"Please have General Squirrel handle the communication with that priestess from A-country."

"I understand," the flying squirrel replied just as concisely and forcefully.

Thus, all parties acted swiftly.

The Kizaru fleet is forming a defensive formation in space, awaiting a major battle.

The flagship 'Freya' quietly adjusted the angle of the warship.

It didn't take long.

Under the control of the Digital Race 'Freya'.

An invisible scanning wave swept across the land of Edo like a finely combed brush.

Inside the banquet hall of the castle tower.

At the request of the flying squirrel, General Mao Mao has sent someone to invite the young witch A Guo, dressed in white robes and red trousers, and the two old witches who serve her, to explain the situation.

A-Guo listened without any hesitation.

Silently, I walked to the window and gazed intently at the calm sky.

She did indeed 'see' about thirty minutes later.

The twelve most famous shrines, temples, and churches in Edo were completely engulfed by the towering green pillar of light.

She told everyone present about the directional features, architectural styles, and approximate locations she had "seen."

The flying squirrel and others compared this information with Edo maps and identified suspicious areas.

Almost at the same time.

The first batch of scan data from Freya was transmitted back.

With the support of a massive computing cluster, the Altana energy spectrum of Edo Air Station was decomposed into tens of millions of characteristic parameters.

Based on this, a comprehensive matching was conducted across the entire Edo region.

In the blink of an eye.

One by one, green dots of light appeared under Borsalino's gaze.

The lights were gradually turned on on the large screen in the command center.

Like a strange star appearing in the night sky.

And when the location provided by the priestess of Aguo highly overlapped with the coordinates analyzed by 'Freya'.

General Mao Mao, the Six-Turn Dance, the Poisonous Good Matsudaira Katakuri, and others present all breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on these locations, the flying squirrel immediately dispatched naval forces of all levels.

however.

Time difference is a constant and cruel variable in war.

Crowe's warning stemmed from the owl's capture, trial, and rescue.

The transmission of intelligence itself consumes valuable time.

And the 'Tenshouin Naraku', led by Utsugi and Oboro.

They had already taken advantage of the cover of night to infiltrate Edo like water droplets seeping into the sand.

These 'dragon lairs' are kept under secret control.

Therefore, even if the navy rushes to various locations at full speed based on the coordinates they just obtained.

They still couldn't stop all the 'dragon lairs' from being detonated.

finally.

After a brief battle, only seven 'dragon lairs' were successfully recaptured from the monk soldiers.

Five to seven.

A race against time has come to an end with this result.

Although more than half of the 'dragon's lair' can be preserved.

To avoid the worst-case scenario of a city-wide chain reaction of destruction.

It is already a remarkable achievement resulting from the combination of intelligence, technology, and operational capabilities.

But looking at the five streams that were continuously gushing out in his line of sight.

The originally bright sky was stained with oppressive dark green beams of light.

But no one felt at ease.

The flying squirrel turned away from the window.

Those sharp, apricot-yellow eyes swept over everyone in the hall.

Their expressions were equally solemn at this moment, and logically, they should have taken immediate action.

But he still subconsciously waited for the flying squirrel general's orders.

"Your Excellency General."

General Flying Squirrel's voice finally broke the silence.

He looked at General Mao Mao and asked the most crucial question at hand.

“These ‘dragon lairs’ have been forcibly destroyed, and the Altana energy is leaking out of control.”

"Do you know of any methods to repair the dragon's lair and calm the energy in such situations?"

The flying squirrel felt that there might be some kind of secret method in this world.

If you are sure there is none.

Then he would have to ask the relevant departments of the World Government to intervene.

This will definitely take a lot of time.

Such a massive amount of planetary energy was poured out.

Over time, this will definitely have irreversible effects on all aspects.

It's best to find a solution on the spot.

As soon as the flying squirrel finished speaking, the hall fell silent once again.

This time the atmosphere was even more oppressive.

General Mao Mao exchanged glances with several important officials.

They both saw confusion and worry in each other's eyes.

The development of Altana and the construction and maintenance of the Cosmic Central Tower.

It has always been the 'Sky Guides' who represent the Galactic Empire that are in charge.

Their shogunate focused more on maintaining social order and handling political and diplomatic affairs.

Little is known about these profound mysteries concerning the fundamental energy of the planet.

Not to mention it was repaired.

　I've encountered several problems with the idea of ​​learning the location of the dragon's lair from deceased members of the Celestial Guides through the underworld.

　　First, the World Government is unaware that Hollow has already killed the other members of the Celestials.

　　Secondly, other members of the Celestial Guide might not know the exact location of the dragon's lair either. According to the setting, there are quite a few planets with Altana energy, and each planet must have many dragon's lairs.

　　They couldn't possibly remember this information; it's more likely that it's recorded in classified files or something similar, and retrieved when needed.

　　So asking them is actually not very useful.
