Chapter 1762 A Magnificent Scene
1762 A Magnificent Scene
Who'd say he was the one behind all this? If any of these fleets managed to escape, then he'd get exposed. And even so, he didn't think a mighty force would care about him.
Even if any did, they'd think thrice before coming at him. He was in a very dangerous place, and he got a very formidable defensive shield. If any force wanted to teach him a lesson, they'd realise trying to do so involved tons of risks and dangers, even paying much more than what they already lost in his hands. And the end result was still questionable.
As for the cause of all these scenarios, he knew it was nearly impossible. The fleets coming out from the outer battlefield would need months to get back to their prime. And he'd not let a single ship escape from here.
If he couldn't take them under his wing, he'd prefer to kill them all, collect ships, loot from their inventories, and even bones.
In any scenario, he was going to get tons of rewards. But he needed to first examine things and see if this chance was worth taking such a risk or not.
In less than five hours, many reports started to pour in. tons of fleets were spotted getting thrown out from the direction of the outer battlefield.
Even if he had his defensive shield, Hye already left many ships to scout the space around. He was searching for any incoming fleets from the outer battlefield, and now these scouts sent great intel about the fleets gushed out from the outer battlefield.
"They are all severely damaged, unable to fly, or even operate a single lamp over there… Even the ships from the other universe had no shields at all… This… This is amazing!" As he received intel for the past three hours, he started to grow overly excited. Just in mere three hours, his scouts marked the positive sight of tens of fleets. And there were lots more which they saw from far, using detection devices and such.
[Listen up, make the scouts mark the places where these fleets are, send them over to you, then they'll expand their area of activity. They aren't allowed to warn anyone, attack anything, got it?]
[Don't tell me you want to make a new map over their intel!!] Lily got what he wanted her to do, and couldn't help but complain in long messages about how much work he placed over her, without having anyone to help.
[Come on! It's not like you are alone! You have lots of capable people by your side!]
[Not enough! Not even close enough!!]
[Just place a higher importance over this task, it's a chance that we have to work hard to get] Hye rolled his eyes, before adding, [Make sure you'll deliver the updated maps over from time to time. I'm heading out in three days…]
[Are you going to use your small ship? Isn't it a bit risky to do this?] She interrupted his long message, feeling worried over him.
[Don't worry, you know it's not that easy to even force me to use my full strength, right?] Hye planned at first to go out using his big flagship. But that all changed the moment he received news of the sitting ducks waiting for him. He decided to cut the crap, and use the small ship of his to save lots of time.
[Just stay cautious, these ships can still fight back, don't take risks, got it?]
[Don't worry, I'll swarm them and return with tons of races. Just prepare new places for them to be located at…]
[Don't throw more work at me, don't ever do it!] she complained, and he knew she was pissed off right now. He just promised to give her months to make enough preparations, not to mention the tens of planets they got would be completely built up by then.
As he switched rides, he went to the outer part of space at terrifying high speed. He could feel how great the small ship travelled after using the big behemoth for a long time as a ride.
This was the first time for him to get out of his new home. He moved towards the shortest path towards the nearest gathering of fleets, and then he went to see what his defensive shield looked like.
From inside, it was just a faint net passing endlessly everywhere. Passing through it didn't make him feel anything. After all, he was marked as the owner of the formation and the entire area. And that was also the case for anyone marked as a follower to him.
Yet when he moved outside, all he could see was pitch black shaped thing that stretched endlessly left and right, north and south. He couldn't see the net like before, but something that looked like a real shield.
"I like it!" he tested, passing through it back and forth, before realising how great this shield was. From the inside, it appeared like a fragile decorative thing, adding little and beautiful touch to the entire place. And from outside, it looked so massive, strong, and majestic, adding great touch to his area.
As he finished checking this shield, he embarked on his journey and travelled as fast as he could. He estimated it would take a day to reach the nearest location of these fleets, but his journey took only six hours.
When he arrived there, the first thing he could see was the bright red line in the distance. It felt like the dusk, when the sky would turn into red or something.
Yet this wasn't the effect of a sun and that seemed to be the mysterious thing happening at the outer battlefield. "Seeing this from this far tells me enough about how deadly the situation there is…" he muttered to himself, while realising for the first time that the ships coming here weren't everything inside that region.
He never thought about it before, and that made him inwardly sigh. "That place… It's like going to hell and trying to survive," he grew wary of that outer battlefield the more he gathered more intel about it.
