Chapter 1755 The Lesson Hye Learnt From Major's Tale
This clouded their minds, and such a trivial mistake of overlooking this small and yet crucial chance made them suffer greatly. Major came from their backs, hitting them without warning when they focused their shields to sustain the endless stream of attacks coming from the front.
Getting attacked like this left behind tons of ships exploding, while the remaining ones had to break their formation and scatter. And by this, they took the last step to their total annihilation.
"Come back!" Hye expected all this, and that made him act the moment he gave Major the order. He recalled all of his Soulers and Reapers, then sent them out again.
The moment the enemies started to run like headless flies, they met with tons of Soulers and Reapers. The end result was expected, and most of these ships lost all of their forces, ending up floating like dead pieces of metal in space.
"Keep pushing, keep chasing, spread out and start free-kill!" Hye knew there was no need to continue running this war in a normal fashion. He gave the order to his fleet, including Major's, to break the formation and start free killing.
He didn't care about the remaining ships. Most of them were small ones. And he got tons of them already.
The chase and hunt lasted for an entire week! During this, Hye casually collected his loot, counted and arranged his gains, while laughing from time to time.
"War… War is indeed the biggest treasure trove in the world, the easiest and fastest path to getting rich, hahaha!" he laughed when he looked at the hundreds of thousands of ships he had in his inventory.
The crushing number of ships he got came from the other universe. And yet they were quite fierce and handy. They didn't lack anything compared to his universe's ships, in addition to the formidable shields and scary firepower they got.
Their only drawback was the need for the ones running them to have high cultivation bases. Hye could run these ships perfectly fine thanks to the huge number of warriors he got with the cultivation base. But it was a different story if he wanted to give a few to the pirate king, or to the nymph lady.
As the chase and hunt took quite some time, spanning over a huge area of space, Hye started to follow the development of building the defensive formation and planets back in his area.
The planets had deployed already and were growing smoothly. They needed around two months at most to grow to their full sizes. As for the formation, they finished close to eighty percent of laying the foundation and were close to completing it.
Hye was satisfied with such results. He faced two encounters in the past month, dealt with two enemies from the other universe, and luckily a force from this universe that ended up joining him.
Everything rolled in his favour, and yet he stressed over scouting the space around with high vigilance. They just needed two weeks at most to get everything done and ready. And he didn't want to fall short at such a time.
He knew by being here, he was going to face lots of such encounters. Just in one month, he faced three different forces. And that told him a lot about how many enemies he'd expect in the future.
He didn't care about any force from this universe. The formation would stop them all. The only problem was in the other universe's fleets. They got strong shields to protect their ships and deadly firepower abilities.
Facing them would always be quite risky as the defensive formation he got ran on a different concept than what the other universe's fleets were built on.
"I need to train more of my forces on how to fly and fight these ships…" even with such a huge number of ships he gained so far from the other universe, he knew this wasn't going to suffice at all.
A single war could eradicate the entire fleet he got, or lose a few with every battle. The only path to survival he saw was to keep looking for these fleets, hunt them down, and add more ships to his grand fleet.
At the same time, he realised how important it was to focus on raising his forces' cultivation base ranks. He tried to do so in the past twenty years and yet failed, and that was for a very good reason.
The cultivation idea came originally from the other universe. Spiritual energy was scarce here, not enough to let anyone train diligently and raise their overall powers.
Even the ten tribes he gained before, the ones who belonged once to the other universe, also suffered the same fate. Their newly born members couldn't train well or raise their cultivation powers. At the same time, the grown-up members of them failed to keep their cultivation bases stable.
They grew weaker, and their new members were hellishly weak. Hye tried to solve this in different ways, yet failed.
Being in this universe meant cultivation couldn't rise up. The only way to do it was by going to the outer battlefield, something that Hye knew he'd do in the near future.
Yet he knew nothing about the outer battlefield. And he had to put Major's disastrous attempt in his mind as well. That man went with a grand fleet and was supposed to last there for a few months at most then come back.
Yet he lasted for ten years and lost most of his fleet, and that was enough to tell Hye how hard and deadly that outer battlefield was.
Hye felt like he wasn't gaining much advantage by being here. He wanted to solve one problem, and yet much more appeared.
"I need to establish my area at the outer battlefield," he decided, as this was the only possible way to do this, "I also need to find a way to amass more fleets from this universe. Using my Soulers and Reapers isn't a bad idea. I still have tons of unused spirit points over these years…"
