Chapter 1740 The Battle Between Two Universes' Fleets
"I don't need him anyway to do this," the nymph lady shrugged, "do what warmongers like yourselves like, and let me do something peaceful like this."
"Ok," Hye didn't object to that. He gave a flagship with lots of medium-sized ships over to the nymph lady, enough to bring tens of millions of people over.
Then he took the pirate king with him, went away from here, and headed towards a direction.
"What do you plan to do?" The pirate king noticed from the map provided by the ship's system that they were going towards a place far away from this area.
"If any trouble comes, then it'll come from the outer battlefield's direction, right?" Hye said, and the pirate king didn't get his point.
"You already sent ships to scout and act as early warning sirens, why go yourself there then?"
"They will lighten the beacon, and I'll intervene," Hye said what he intended.
"You have a good sizable fleet indeed, but not enough to stop grand forces fighting each other… Wait, you want to use that tactic again?!!" The pirate king grew excited the moment he jumped to such a conclusion. And Hye couldn't help but nod.
It was partially the reason behind him doing this, and there was also another reason. By being there, he'd be able to direct the incoming enemies away from his area.
He didn't want to let others discover this place, not this early. Even if he got such a grand defensive formation, it still needed months to end. A few months was a long time, enough for news to spread, and perhaps many forces would set their eyes on this area.
If they got attacked before finally laying down the formation, then they'd lose it. This would come as a great chance in the eyes of many forces. And Hye didn't want to see such a thing happening.
So he decided to take the lead, trying to stop or better divert the attention of the incoming forces away from his area. That was why he set his flying trajectory so far away from here, so he'd have tons of options, lots of places to run towards.
At the same time, he'd end up having tons of ships and resources again. He loved how he did it back at that war between the Hescos and that world's owners. It reminded him of the great time he experienced at the apocalypse, and he wanted to feel like that again.
Wars were the real treasure lands in his eyes. As he moved away, many noticed this and kept asking him about the reasons.
He explained to all, stressing that he'd learn to use their help as the last resort solution. At the same time, the pirate king asked to lead part of the fleet, and Hye didn't object to that.
The fleet took roughly ten days of straight flight at top speed before finally the first beacon was lit.
[Hye, we received a warning signal from one of the teams we sent before…]
Just as he just woke up, and was about to do his daily workout routine out of boredom, he received such a message from Sara. She explained everything, and it seemed like the ones who discovered the incoming enemies belonged to her forces.
[... So, can I come and have fun? Don't say no, I won't take no as an answer!]
[Sh*t no!] He didn't hesitate to reject what she wanted to do, and then he closed the chat and didn't read any of what she sent.
She already shared the coordinates of the location spotted by the scouting ships. When he checked it out, he found that this place was around a week from his current place.
It wasn't because he was way too off the course, but it was because the scouting ships travelled fast and light, were all small ships, and that led them across lots of distance in a short time.
"Start scanning the entire space all the time," Hye spread out his orders in the internal channel of the fleet he led, "make sure to stay way behind my ship. I'm going to move out and see what's up there alone. Wait for my orders next."
He didn't wait, moved out from the flagship, and took out his special small ship. "I'm travelling fast at last," he noticed the great difference in speed between the two ships he used so far. His small ship was like a ray of light, moving so fast compared to the big flagship.
He knew moving alone was going to put him at risk, but he depended on the small size and high speed of his ship to evade getting hit.
He needed to go there and scout the incoming enemies, so he'd devise better plans to stop them. He didn't want to risk facing them with his fleet, or else he'd get screwed by the two forces fighting out there, mistaking him to be hostile to both of them.
He took three hours to arrive at the place of the grand battle. And just by seeing the ongoing fight, he realised he was right in his earlier decision.
The two sides got grand fleets fighting each other over a huge stretch of space. On one side, there were ships similar to the ones he had, and on the other side, there were weird-looking ships.
They got things like huge thorns and blades coming out from their bodies. They had different sizes and such, yet they used totally different weapons to hit their enemies.
"The ships from the other universe are charging spiritual power, ending up releasing bolts of ball-shaped pulses filled with spiritual powers, exploding over their enemies' ships, and ending up detonating anything on their paths… Amazing indeed!"
Hye got the idea behind these weird-looking ships from just watching for a few minutes. He was sure to operate such ships, he had to use cultivation-based warriors. And yet he couldn't help but crave to get these ships.
