Chapter 1750 Major's Crisis
In the end, he'd be free to go back to his people, and his fleet's lives would be saved.
he started to contact his people, informing them about everything that happened so far. There was a ten-year gap, and he needed to fill them briefly about lots of things.
Hye knew if they got all the news from Major, and listened to how bad his current situation was, his people wouldn't mind letting him sign this contract. And yet there was something that was essential for this contract to be signed.
"He needs not only to convince them of signing the contract on their behalf, he also needs them to assign him as their leader, or else this contract won't work…" Hye muttered to himself while watching the peace that surrounded the space and world around.
The grand fleet was travelling as fast as they could, without having a single trouble coming down their way. Hye got the fuse of the bomb, able to turn such calmness into a blazing storm at any given moment.
He had to wait until the entire fleet would arrive at Major's place. In fact, he did so partially to lure Major to his side, and for another reason.
Major's forces might not be that strong, but compared to his forces they got something important, something he needed to acquire at any cost. They were experienced not only with this universe but with the other universe and the outer battlefield.
Surviving for ten whole years in such a hostile atmosphere wasn't a mere strike of luck. Major and his forces got what it took to be a grand force, only lacking support, lacking the right land to plant their seeds to grow into towering trees.
Hye wanted them to join his kingdom, as most of the dangers they'd face later on were related to the forces coming from the other universe, related to the ongoing battles at the outer battlefield.
And they were about to get upgraded to the next level of power! That was another bonus that Hye desired to secure for himself. He knew from Major's men about the condition for their evolution. And by his help here, they'd manage to cross this bridge and upgrade their powers to level two.
That was something he currently lacked. Having such a higher force by his side was another insurance in case he met a terrifying enemy.
In addition to all this, he wanted to postpone launching his attack until the hostile fleet would see the truth by themselves.
Things might look peaceful and under control from the surface, but he was quite sure they were vigilant and on high alert towards him and their fleet.
He refused a single one of them to board his fleet and examine things within. This was enough to arouse tons of doubts in anyone's mind.
So he had to wait, wait until they'd see that what he said before was true. Then they'd drop their guard totally against him, shift their attention towards Major's fleet, and try to move fast to save their universe comrades.
At this moment, he'd strike. When the enemy's focus would shift away from him, when they'd drop their guard against him, he'd hit them hard with everything he got.
Like this, he'd suffer fewer losses, and gain tons of benefits in the end.
As Hye's fleet kept flying in the middle of the enemies', Major was having a very intense time. When he sent the news, he expected something like excitement for his safe return, alongside lots of discussion about Hye and what happened.
Yet the first thing he received was related entirely to a totally different matter.
"They dare to suspect and question my loyalty…" he clenched both fists, trying his best to not lose his cool. He never expected such a response to be sent back to him, never even considered such a possibility in the first place.
In his people, he was a hero, the beacon of hope for a better future. And yet the current leading circle started to send weird questions, asking about where his loyalty lay, about if he sold his soul to someone else, and such things.
Major was speechless and shocked for long minutes before he started to pouch for the current situation back home. He just sent normal replies, stressing over where his loyalty was. At the same time, he made sure to gather intel about the general atmosphere back at the upper echelon and leaders of his people.
The first news he got was just one day later. During which, he kept trying to communicate with his old friends and mentors, getting no response from all, even from the upper echelon, not until one day passed.
"This… They dare to capture my family, and my friends, and imprison them for treason? Those mtherfckers… How dare they do such a thing to my family and friends?!!!"
Major received the news, and it just came from one of his most beloved and well-respected mentors. The old man was retired now, but it seemed he spent tons of effort to get to the bottom of everything.
He told him the grave news, without trying to decorate anything or hide the truth away. He told him about what the upper echelon did, how they captured his family members and close friends, putting them in prison while accusing them of conspiracy and treason.
He also advised Major to drop any idea about coming back. The upper echelon took everything he said before as his attempt to use an external power to seize the throne of his people.
"Those bastards… They feared to do so? Then watch me doing it then!" After half a day of long debate and discussions with his mentor, the only person from his home to ever respond to his messages, the only one to truly care about him, he realised it was hopeless for the closest people to him.
Their fate was already sealed. Yet the good news was that according to what the mentor heard, the upper echelon decided to not kill any, keep them as leverage to use if he ever came knocking on their doors.
