1761 The Outer Battlefield Surging Hell
Big behemoths always kept an eye over each other, to notice any big business chance for them. And he hoped he'd get noticed and marked as such.
Hye planned to take this time and rest while waiting for either someone to message him or that dude from that impact to return back with news.
But after one week, he didn't get any message from either the man or anyone else and received a new message from someone else.
The third opportunity just presented itself to him on a golden plate!
[Warning! The outer battlefield surging hell is upon us! Make sure you stay away from there!]
Without any warning, such a message popped up in front of him just minutes before he'd go to sleep. At the same time, a weird voice echoed in the entire ship. It didn't just appear in his ship, but in all the other ships as well.
"What's going on?" This wasn't the first time for Hye to experience such a thing. Before the shooting star outbreak happened, he also got such a warning.
[We investigated, and it seemed this is a common thing in this area] Lily responded after one hour, as Hye asked her to dig deeper about the root of such repeated things.
[And?] [According to the workers who lived here for a long time, they believe this is some sort of a helping system to warn anyone near the outer battlefield of such a scary phenomenon]
[Scary? How?!] Hye got interested instantly the moment he read what Lily sent.
[They say this happens once every five years. Something happens at the outer battlefield, and the forces at the edges of this area near here will flood this place]
[This… This is bad!] Hye paused, before adding, [Tell me everything they know…]
As she kept describing the intel she got, Hye realised he was previously wrong.
[This isn't a disaster, it's a great chance!] he ran towards the deck of his ship, [Call for everyone, we need to be ready for a big fight and hunt]
[As if we can do anything, you are the one going out to hunt and we'll be stuck here just to defend the place!] Lily complained, and Hye couldn't help but laugh.
[Just make sure no one trespasses the shield or gets near it. I'll also need your help at some point…]
[For what? To collect the loot? You can do it perfectly fine!]
[Just make them ready to come and help me when needed] Hye coughed twice, feeling like she was reprimanding him for being overly greedy and excited about this chance.
According to the workers who mined crystals here, every five years, a disaster would strike the outer regions of the outer battlefield. This would push everyone into this part of space. And that wasn't the chance he was excitedly thinking and speaking about.
The disaster seemed to strike hard everyone in that region, be it part of this universe or the other universe, all would get hit severely, getting pushed here with broken ships.
They'd take roughly a few months to repair their ships, before returning back to the outer battlefield again. According to them, many battles would happen between the opposing forces, but that would have to wait until the ships would get repaired.
This was the chance that presented itself in front of Hye. Unlike others, he got a way to clear all the ships and claim them for himself. Even if they were broken, he was sure the research department would find it easy to take pieces from them and repair most of them.
Yet this wasn't just what made him quite excited. He thought of something else, about the grand number of forces coming here, entrapped in their spaceships for long months.
They were like sitting ducks. He had a way to slaughter them, but also a way to turn them all into his forces. Even if the cube wasn't working properly right now, he had something else that he could use.
"I tried to use my techniques before, and they had tons of limitations. In a real battle, it's useless to use them. But against sitting ducks… Hehehe!"
He laughed evilly when he thought about this. His thread technique was his cornerstone when used to bind others to him using contracts. Unlike how he used these back in the apocalypse, the threads would grow small and short, not expanding and proliferating crazily like before.
He knew he needed to raise his cultivation base first to overcome such limits. But there wasn't an option for him to do this in the short term.
It was expected that he would get excited when he heard about all this. First, he'd attack many enemies, kill tons of forces, and claim ships. Then he'd try to use this to scare few to willingly join his side. If they resisted, he'd use his technique to force them to follow him.
Yet before he'd grow excited about this, he needed to see first how huge this chance was. According to the words from the workers, the ships shoved away from the outer battlefield didn't have a fixed number.
It totally depended on the amount of fleets fighting in the outer region of that place. And that meant it was all subjected to luck.
[I've sent lots of ships out to scout as you asked… But isn't it a bit risky? You do know many of these ships belong to the giants in the universe!] Lily sent him, trying to dissuade him from doing what he intended.
[No one can blame me for this, plus we are on our own from the beginning. Why should I care about those who didn't want to help us, even tried to take us down many times already?]
Hye knew she had a point in worrying over other forces. But this wasn't like he was openly going against these forces. First and foremost of all, this was the outer battlefield. It was normal for tons of fleets to get destroyed and killed.
