Ace Of Terrans

250 The Ace.

It has been a few months since Shi Lang had set up the camp on planet Novus. He and his team had also performed some missions and all of them were successful. The scope of work was not limited to the federation only, but also to the space empires that were in alliance with the Federation.

The impact of the Ace Division was so strong that anyone with the intention to go against the federation will think twice. Not only did this help the connections of the federation to grow, but also the status rose up in the galactic council. However, Shashi had already warned the parliament to keep the development well controlled and not to become a threat in the eyes of the top brass.

Those on the peak did not like to share a seat with someone they do not know for a prolonged period of time. Shi Lang was aware of this and supported Shashi. The federal military and the secret divisions were all doing their bits to cover the growth from those prying eyes.

...

At this moment, the Ace division was invited to a space territory called Naris, the people here were humanoids, they had one distinctive feature to them. Their faces did not have nostrils. They had heard of a special group of Terrans that worked as mercenaries, you pay them with money and tech and they will help you take down the obstacles.

However, the rules were that the target must be a harm to the society and harmful to the alliance and development of their territories. The government must testify and provide the data, which will then be cross-checked, and only when the result was positive, they would take action.

During this entire process, from the invitation to target hit, the Ace division would never appear and they never left any traces. Their intervention was known only to a handful of people in the government to prevent leaks. One time a corrupt government official got the news of their intervention and wanted to inform the target, but the poor bastard was killed, and the situation was so brutal, that his body was vacuumed from all over the room.

...

Shi Lang stood on a cliff, looking down on a town in front of him. His visor was displaying all the targets in a radius of seven hundred meters. A few of them were standing outside buildings while the rest were inside the buildings. Shi Lang did not speak, he just waved his hand and the people behind him jumped down the cliff.

Shi Lang did not move, they had confirmed that this town was begin held hostage by a group of extremists. They were against the alliance with the federation and other space civilizations. They stated that this sort of external intervention will stain the culture and harm their interests. These people were actually a group of mercenaries hired by the businessmen of the Naris empire to resist the expansion of the market to control the markets.

However, the government decided to strike them down. The water had gone over the head.

...

Shi Lang looked at the scene in front of him and said, "Take them out silently."

"Roger that, Alpha.", replied the team.

The action began, the team members were using spirit weapons, and the killings were all smoothly done. They were acting in tandem, taking down guards row by row. The surveillance had already been seized and the communication was also masked by the bots on Shi Lang's team.

Yes, the Ace Division was using the bots they had all researched to handle the logistics. Suddenly, Shi Lang heard d distress call, "Boss, I have a situation."

The young general replied, "Retreat and regroup and rally point C."

"Roger that.", said the other party, and Shi Lang moved from his place. When he reached rally point C, he found Sparrow waiting for him as she knelt on the ground.

Shi Lang took a knee beside her and asked, "What happened?"

"Sir, there are three people. Two of them are as strong as you, and another person is probably stronger than you.", Sparrow reported.

She thought Shi Lang would act cautiously, but he suddenly chuckled and said, "Finally I can use the suit to the fullest."

Sparrow realized that Shi Lang was filled with battle lust. He smiled and asked, "Did you finish dealing with the rest of the targets?"

Sparrow replied positively, and Shi Lang said, "All teams, report status."

"This is Hawk. All targets cleared."

"This is Sonic. Commencing final sweep on the eastern point."

"This is..."

Reports came in like waves. Just as the final report came in and all the hostages were rescued. Shi Lang became alert and said, "Retreat, alpha going in."

"Roger that.", all teams replied back to Shi Lang.

They all retreated back, and Shi Lang vanished from his spot. When he appeared he was standing in the center of a square. He was geared up in a crimson red war suit with a phaser rifle attached to his back, while a sword was tied to his waist. A black visor covered his face. Shi Lang stood in the square as if it was his own territory.

He sensed movement behind him but he did not respond. As if a tourist was looking at the scenery. One of the visitors said, "Hmm, so you took down all our men?"

Shi Lang chuckled and replied, "To think even reptiles call themselves men, and that too when they take civilians as a bargaining chip. You people surely know eloquence."

His words were an insult to the visitors. They were lizardmen, a species very similar to the Zergs but they looked even more hideous with spikes on their eyebrows and elbows. The silent one slapped his tail on the ground, expressing his rage, but Shi Lang burst into loud laughter, he said, "You might not know, but we used to have a reptile on our planet, called the komodo dragon in the ancient times, they used to slap their tails on the ground to express rage."

The lizard snarled and yelled, "Blasphemy, you make fun of the Komoda clan."

Shi Lang shook his head and took a step to his side, making the sneak attack from the enemy miss. He asked, "Tell me your names, I cannot even tell who is who."

The lizardmen said, "Hit, and that silent one is my brother Kun. Now die."

That said, the lizardmen moved and they attacked Shi Lang together. However, the young man was the least worried about them. he needed to learn their tactics, so he folded his hands and moved around like a ghost to dodge the attacks from the people. His speed was anything but slow.

Every single movement of the lizardmen was being displayed in Shi Lang's mind in a three-dimensional model with a three-sixty degree view with no blind spots. While he was studying the people his team was studying him.

So far, Shi Lang was the strongest among them and this was the first time he has taken any action during a mission, they have never seen his skills to the limit. Sparrow asked, "How is he so fast, I cannot see the enemy."

Milo said, "This is the difference, the boss is moving based on the sensation."

Hawk needed and said, "Yes, indeed. His ability is to sense, and when paired with spiritual sense, the effect is even better."

The team began to discuss the battle in front of them in great detail when suddenly, Shi Lang jumped in the air, and when his body was parallel to the ground, he twisted himself, using his right hand he grabbed the assault rifle at his back and shot twice.

Two golden beams shoot through the tails of the lizardmen, leaving big holes. The holes were as big as an adult fist, usually, they should not have affected the two lizards, but the target was the hip joint. The tail was a crucial part of the Lizardmen and they needed it to maintain balance, they have suffered countless attacks on their tails, and it was covered with scars and wound marks, but never have the tails been pierced through, making them hang behind them.

Hit and Kun let out miserable cries and suddenly, Shi Lang said, "Just that? Disappointing."

Then he aimed the gun at their faces and shot without hesitation. As the beams were about to land on the targets, a flicker appeared in front of them and hit the beam headed towards Kun. However, despite this frightening speed only one of the beams was stopped. Hit could not make it. His head was left with a fist-sized hole, with brain matter leaking from it.

A loud roar echoed through the valley town. Shi Lang said, "Milo, the spirit gun is successful, did you record the data?"

He acted as if this roar had nothing to do with him, and Milo replied, "Yes, Sir."

Suddenly, a fist made contact with Shi Lang's head and he was flung right through thw walls of the buildings around them.

Everything turned silent.
