They knew that her soul was to be attracted into Arcacidia to be dressed into her new eternal skeleton. By killing her from there, it would be easier to follow her up as she came out of the tunnel. They would then bring her back to the laboratory to proceed with her unfinished business.
The guards put her onto a stretcher on which they were to carry her out of the facility. Prof. McDonald was not aware of their plans but he could not let her suffer to that extent yet he knew that she was going to die by all means. As the guards walked passed him, he grabbed a gun from one of them and used it to shoot her twice in the chest. She died instantly and the guards dropped her down. They immediately aimed their guns at the professor and they were ready to dismantle his brains if it were not for Lord Ghost’s intervention. Knowing the loss he had registered, Lord Ghost could not let them kill him because he was the one in charge of the whole process. The professor was given the benefit of the doubt and was forced to return to work. However, Lord Ghost could not hide his anger. He put more pressure on the scientists and forced them to work for longer hours in order to complete the weapons in time.
CHAPTER FOUR EARTH DOWN
According to the war plan Gen. Cov’s committee had executed, attacking all the countries on earth at once was not only going to be costly but it would also be impossible for them to win seven billion humans at once. Instead, they had planned to attack the United States first and then use its military advantage to subjugate the other countries. Their first task was to use their advanced computing skills to switch off and then take control over the world’s communication and computer networks. Without proper means of communication, humans across the globe could not be able to mobilize and stand against their common enemy. The warriors had been divided into four divisions. The first division was made up of infantry skeleton warriors only. These were to arrive on earth first by means of Lord Ghost`s magical powers. The second was the Air Force division which was to move to earth using the small and medium-sized aircraft. The large airships had been left for the third division. The fourth division was the reserve force which was to remain on Planet Ghostia. Each division had been assigned a different mission to execute. The infantry skeleton warriors were to be dispersed in all major urban concentrations in the US. They were to keep running on the streets and perform minor attacks on both civilian and military installations with an aim of causing confusion in the country. The ghosts expected the US to respond to the attack with all her military strength, only to be taken by surprise by the arrival of the second division. The aircraft of the second division were to engage the US Air Force in an aerial combat and an anti-ship warfare with the US Navy. Computer specialists also attached to the second division were to wage an electronic warfare against the whole world in order to take over the world’s communication networks. The commander of the second division was to be Roth himself. The large airships of the third division were to be loaded with different sets of equipment which their engineers were to use to assemble ballistic missile launch centers on earth and laboratories from where they were to perform their clandestine experimentations. All the scientists, including Prof. McDonald and the others who had been brought from earth were to be relocated to earth to work in these laboratories. Lord Ghost was to command this division himself. He expected to find when man had already been defeated by the first two divisions. Gen. Cov had volunteered to stay on the planet to command the reserve force. He had chosen Gen. Path to stay with him as his deputy. The reserve force was to retain a quarter the amount of all weapons the ghosts had manufactured. The reserve force was to be on standby,
