The vassal officers eventually heard about what had happened from the captive vassal soldiers who had survived at the main peak of Bei Mountain. However, Bai Zhongqi had still played a trick when he left: the vassal people did not see the invisible landing craft take off, but only saw the flying saucer, seized by the Earthlings, taking off and firing incendiary bombs at the Stiff Ghosts surrounding the mountain.
"We must retrieve the two lords, or we are going to be in big trouble."
"The Earthlings didn’t leave long ago, as long as we carry out a large-scale search, we will definitely be able to find the two lords."
"Yes, we can mobilize the flying beasts in this area, let these animals find the flying saucer for us."
"Our flying saucers can emit a subsonic wave similar to that of the flying beasts, and create a sound field, making the flying beasts believe that the flying saucer is one of their core members and follow the commands issued by the flying saucer. If the Earthlings figure out this mechanism and turn off the subsonic wave emitter on the flying saucer, then it will be difficult for the flying beasts to locate them."
"No, if the subsonic wave is turned off, the flying saucer will attract even more attention from the flying beasts. They will not allow anything other than themselves to fly in the sky, and in that case, they will surely attack the flying saucer en masse. We can determine the enemy’s location by observing the movements of the flying beasts," one of them countered.
In fact, these vassals of the benefactors are the core of the benefactors’ military strength. The benefactors are unable to independently organize any war and rely entirely on these vassals, who have professional military skills. But many times, they are also unable to choose the best tactics and strategy, as they must preserve the benefactors at all costs—benefactors are absolutely not to be sacrificed.
It was precisely because of this that Bai Zhongqi successfully used the flying saucer to mobilize the benefactors’ vassals’ search forces. His own landing craft safely flew thousands of kilometers and then temporarily rested in a huge cave in the mountains.
Bai Zhongqi strolled around the cave and said to Nan Ma, "This place is far enough, and the terrain complex enough. We are hidden in a cave in a mountain gorge without a trace of pursuers. With some luck, we can take down Taoran Star in five days."
Nan Ma asked with a smile, "So, Chancellor, will you just wait here quietly?"
Bai Zhongqi smiled confidently, "Of course not, we have to teach the benefactors a lesson."
Just now on the road, Bai Zhongqi and Hu had interrogated the captured Shenshen Zhi Ruofu and Qingya Zhi Jiyangbo and had already obtained information about the benefactors’ deployment on Taoran Star.
Although the benefactors had been on Taoran Star for ten years, they had not invested in any substantial cultivation or construction there. This was completely different from the approach of the Iridium Star people, who would truly develop a planet, establish colonial cities, conduct immigration, and pull the local natives into the Iridium Star United Empire. Now with the Star Alliance established, the routine was quite similar.
However, the benefactors were not interested in construction, particularly as Taoran Star was far away from their old territory in the Star Region. They were mainly executing the mission at the behest of their allied Controllers, and therefore lacked motivation.
For a civilization that had reached a certain level, a distant habitable planet was not particularly attractive. Civilizations like Teizene and the benefactors, who dominated a star region, often controlled most or even all the planets in that region, had ample room for expansion and potential resources. They might even have some planets within their own region that had not been fully developed, let alone such a remote planet as this.
Therefore, the benefactors were not willing to spend time on a place like Taoran Star; hence, there were only six benefactors there, accompanied by numerous vassal peoples with no real inclination to build anything. They just constructed a few bases and built amenities for living and recreation within these bases.
"The benefactors have two bases on Taoran Star, with around a hundred thousand vassal military and logistical personnel. Although this force is not to be underestimated, causing a little trouble for the benefactors is still feasible," said Bai Zhongqi.
Nan Ma chuckled, "Especially since their flying forces are now all engaged in the search for our whereabouts."
He paused slightly, then added, "Even so, their bases likely have quite comprehensive defense systems, with thousands or even tens of thousands of vassal enforcers. With just a few of us and one landing craft, even if we infiltrate their bases, how much of an impact can we make?"
Bai Zhongqi said, "We’ll cause as much trouble as we can. I actually planned that you and Mr. Hu don’t need to go, to stay in this mountain, wait five days, and our warships will naturally come to pick you up."
Nan Ma wrapped his coat around himself, pretending to be aggrieved, "Ah, the altitude of these mountains is so high, the temperature so low, with hardly any food, Chancellor, if you leave me here, I won’t survive."
Bai Zhongqi rolled his eyes. For a Star Warrior master like Nan Ma, escaping planetary gravity and bursting into space was a trivial matter. Claiming that he would starve in the snowy mountains was utter nonsense.
"Nan Ma, you and Hu are important Star Warrior masters of the Star Alliance. The actions we’re taking are risky, and the harm that might come to you is something the Star Alliance would rather avoid," he explained.
Nan Ma, shaking his bald head, said with a grin, "Your Majesty underestimates us Star Warrior masters. It’s merely a matter of infiltrating behind enemy lines and causing some havoc; that’s too easy for me."
Hu also spoke up at this time, "The benefactors have ruined my planet; eliminating the benefactors is like excising a tumor from the body, very effective. I’m also willing to confront the benefactors and contribute my efforts to Your Majesty’s great cause."
Since Hu came from a country like Tuoluo Shan which also had a nobility and monarch, his attitude contained some feudal nuances. Having recognized Bai Zhongqi and the Star Alliance as his new superiors and home, he behaved very much like a loyal subject.

Bai Zhongqi knew he couldn’t persuade the two, so for whatever heaven-storming activities he undertook next, Nan Ma and Hu would be accompanying him, which put a little pressure on him, since he couldn’t afford to lose either of them. However, at the same time, their actions would help him, as the feats of two Star Warrior masters would greatly shock those benefactors.
Bai Zhongqi had already confirmed the location of one of the benefactors’ bases from Shenshen Zhi Ruofu. This base controlled most of the flying saucers and was the site where the benefactors on Taoran Star loaded supplies. Bai Zhongqi decided to start with this base, to create panic and take advantage of the chaos.
