With the authority the Minister of Science had put in his hands, Julian took two-thirds of all the forces present on the Nexus outpost to attack the rebel base.
One hundred full-armed soldiers with thirty saint-realm individuals among them were swiftly drafted to join, led by Lieutenant Vilma, who was low stage Rank 9 Magician.
Unfortunately, the location of the rebel base they were about to attack was underground beneath a settlement inhabited by thousands of native civilians, making this operation much more difficult than it should be.
Therefore, to ensure the operation would not lead to chaos and the death of civilians, Julian decided to wait until nightfall before launching the raid.
However, as the planet only had four hours of nighttime in a day, their plan needed to be executed and done in a very specific timeframe.
