Chapter :-97 Pre-World War-III (Part-1)

(A/N:-I know that you guys want to read the fighting portion of the war but before that, I have to clarify the reason why Henrik is participating in the war and what does he actually plan to do. I am releasing 3-chapters in advance and will not upload of 3-days so that I can stack up chapters.)

-----------------------------------------------------------

2045, Japan, Military Headquarters….

Inside an octagonal room sat Henrik wearing a black shirt and black pants along with a black jacket over his shirt.

A purple-pendant hung from his neck whereas he wore golden-framed glasses over his eyes. The letter 'M' could be seen imprinted on the back of his jacket along with another mark on the side of his glasses.

He had an indifferent expression over his face as he leaned back into his comfortable chair, letting the soft material relax his body as he looked around at the 8-individuals sitting around a round table.

A lean man in his mid-40s, wearing a black suit and white shirt sat opposite of Henrik. He had a strict expression on his face while one could feel the ginormous amounts of Psion radiating out of his body. Minamoto Hado was the current Minamoto family Head.

To his left sat another man with a large body, also wearing a black suit and white shirt. He had a weary expression over his face like his he would enter deep sleep right away but the Psion emitting from his body contradicted his behaviour. Oda Ruhiji was the current Oda family Head.

On Hado's right sat a woman who wore a Black-Yukata and held a hand fan within her palm, she had a smirk over her face which truly annoyed her piers. Her Psion levels weren't as huge as her fellow clan Heads but her control over it was more refined when compared to theirs. Koga Messila was the current Koga clan Head.

At the mid-left of the round table, sat Kudou Retsu wearing a black-suit along with a black-tie on the base of his neck. He had a serious expression on his face as he looked towards others. He was the Head of the Kudou clan after he got the permission to establish their house-hold within the territory of Mikaelson clan.

At the mid-right of the round table, sat Yotsuba Genzou who wore a brown suit and black pants. His hands held a file within them with the label "Estimated Death Toll" on the cover, a frown on his face as he read through the states. He was the first Head of Yotsuba clan who was registered as one of the "Ten-Masters Clans" along with the Kudou Retsu.

On Henrik's right sat Freya, his elder sister, wearing purple Yukata with a dark purple Obi around her waist. A pendant similar to Henrik's hung from her neck along with a three-tomoe mark on the base of her neck. She green eyes looked at the digital map placed over the round table.

Finally, on Henrik's left sat Kiyohime Gerard, wearing her favourite red Yukata with a black Obi around her waist, a locket around her neck which her father gifted her. Her crimson red eyes calmly watched the other individuals as she waited for her master to begin the meeting.

The octagonal room was heavily guarded by [Special-Forces of Japan] along with the [Red-Cross], a force made up of Strategic-Level Magician of Japan. Their identities were only known to the Four-Great Leaders and the high government officials.

Freya was tasked to head the [Red-Cross] as she was the person who invented [Abyss], strategic-level magic and had enough experience to train the special squad especially since Henrik was too busy dealing with other issues.

Henrik took a breath and leaned forward before speaking in an indifferent tone.

"China and Russia have declared war on each other, the USA has also been caught into the mess made by the two countries and is fighting China. Great Britain had declared war on Germany once again in order to use this chance to weaken them whereas Russia along with France is fighting against the UK."

"Great Britain has requested assistance, the Japanese government has already declared its intent to support its allies and honour the alliance pact made before World War-I. India has also opened the sea route for Japanese forces to access the east part of the planet whereas they have also decided to absorb the multiple middle-east countries along with Iran as their ally."

"This will not only protect those countries from being attacked by the USA for resources but would also strengthen their power over the land."

"Canada has also entered the battle to help the USA take care of China through the Chinese are far stronger than before. They have even absorbed Korea and are trying to invade our territory."

"Tachibana Gerard Muneshige is leading the east front of the battle whereas the Minamoto clan has already mobilized a huge force to seal the country."

"My fleet is ready to annihilate our enemies, 'Eagle' from the [Red-Cross] is our greatest weapon when it comes to naval battles. His magic 'Abyss' is the perfect counter to the enemy fleet."

"We can intrude the Chinese land from Korea and push through like Toyotomi Hideyoshi once did."

Oda Ruhiji spoke in a curious tone.

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi failed miserably, trying to invade Korea…..but make you think that we will succeed this time?"

Henrik looked towards Ruhiji and spoke with indifference.

"The only reason why Hideyoshi lost was due to the fact that Koreans had better battleships and more experience in naval battles but now our Japanese Navy, the army that I control is the strongest Naval army in the world, not even UK's Royal Fleet is a match for my army."

"This time I will personally lead the battle and make sure that China pays for trying to repeatedly enter our country."

Hearing Henrik's words, others were shell-shocked…..while it was true that Henrik was probably one of the greatest battle tacticians to be ever born but he never participated in a battle himself.

But now….the youngest yet strongest Mikaelson wants to enter the War, especially World War-III. No matter how one looked at it, they couldn't make any heads or tails of his decision.

Freya was probably the most confused one as she knew that her brother did everything for a reason, every action of his, including breathing was usually a part of his plan.

Yet she chooses to trust her brother and didn't ask him to clarify his target, guess this is what family means…..
