“What is it? Spill!”
Everyone turned to gaze at West Sky Lord expectantly.
West Sky Lord took a deep breath and explained, “Their weapons are meant to kill Supreme class warriors, so they won’t waste the energizers on ordinary people.”
“Yes, the weapons are used to kill Supreme class warriors. What about that?” The rest were confused.
“We can pretend to be fake Supreme class warriors and attract their attention, so they will use up all their energizers on the wrong people. That way, we can turn the tables!”
Everyone else inhaled sharply at her plan.
After a brief contemplation, they decided that it was a great plan.
They could use other people as baits to waste the enemy’s energizers.
That way, the Supreme class warriors of Erudia would be safe and proceed to attack the enemy.
Still, there was a problem.
Who would be the bait to attract the weapon to attack them?
The weapon was powerful enough to destroy Supreme class warriors, let alone fighters of other ranks.
In other words, the baits would end up as cannon fodders.
For a split second, everyone went silent as they realized that one dilemma—who would be the bait?
Those who chose to come to the battle weren’t afraid of dying, but they had to die for the right purpose.
They wanted to die while fighting against the enemy instead of dying as bait.
A long silence ensued.
Right then, North Sky Lord and the others exchanged glances before announcing, “The Calamity takes the challenge! We’ve already got the intel and figured out the enemy’s deployment, so now we’ll divert their attention!”
The Four Lords were prepared to sacrifice their lives.
“Comrades, it’s our turn to sacrifice for the country! The three of us will be the leaders. Are you afraid?” asked East Sky Lord.
“No! We’re not afraid!” the rest roared.
“Alright. On my command, remove your masks now!” he ordered.
Everyone removed their masks promptly at that command.
Besides the Four Lords, this was the first time the other members of The Calamity had removed their masks.
Since the day they joined The Calamity, they were tasked to wear their masks at all times. They didn’t even know what the other members looked like.
They had to lead secret lives without showing their true selves to anyone else.
Naturally, they hoped they could take off their masks one day and lead ordinary lives.
The day had finally arrived, but it also meant that death was awaiting them.
