“I am a spy planted on Planet Bhutler and escaped to Planet Terra a year ago. I have important information to report to Captain Jack.”

Jack heard Bob’s voice.

He was a little surprised.

Jack was silent for a moment.

Then, he spoke slowly.

“Didn’t all the spies planted on Planet Helka die a year ago? Who are you? Why should I believe your words?”

Jack’s voice became more urgent.

“Reporting to the Lord, I am a Helkan who joined Planet Bhutler many years ago. Over the years, I have contributed a lot of intelligence to Planet Bhutler. For example, a year ago, I reported that a mysterious Overlord appeared on Planet Helka. However, the higher-ups thought that I was lying and did not believe my information.”

“Later on, the Sweeper Protection Squad on Planet Helka began to clear the dark spots set up by Planet Bhutler on Planet Helka. I was a Helkan myself, and I hid in among the team of miners to mine for a year before I was discovered. Every day, I have been using the special device that the upper echelons had left for me to transmit communication signals. Today, I finally got to meet the Captain.”

Jack wasn’t as cautious as Allen, the Captain of the S Battleship Squadron, and simply believed Bob’s words.

“So, do you have any information? Planet Bhutler doesn’t need worthless trash.”

Bob’s voice was more urgent now, as if the situation on his end wasn’t looking good.

“Captain, I have some important information. The patrolling guards will be here soon, so I’ll make it short.”

“Half a month ago, Planet Helka sent all of their forces to capture Planet Terra. Thus, as a miner, I was transported to Planet Terra.”

“Due to my diligence in mining, I was promoted to the position of captain within a few days. That’s how I got a room of my own. I’m now sending the communication signal from my room.”

“Over the past few days, Planet Helka sent a small transport fleet to transport the mineral resources mined by Planet Terra. They happen to be returning today. Thus, there are only a dozen Helkan guards and a small transport fleet on Planet Terra, while the main force of Planet Helka is now on Planet Helka itself.”

“Captain, you can take this opportunity to take back Planet Terra and use the resources on Planet Terra to replenish the S Battleship Fleet’s energy consumption.”

“Planet Helka already has an energy reaction monitoring device. Thus, when the fleet approaches Planet Terra, it’s best to switch to normal speed mode to avoid alerting the Helkan guards on Planet Terra.”

“In a few hours, the Helkan soldiers will take lunch break at noon. When that time comes, I will send a signal to the Captain…”

“Just nice, the mining patrol team is here…”

Then, Bob’s report suddenly stopped.

Then, a conversation between two people could be heard from the communication device.

“Did you die in the room? Why did you take so long to come out?”

“Reporting to the patrol leader, I was taking a dump because I ate too much last night. That’s why I stayed in the toilet for so long.”

“Lazy people really have a lot of excuses. Hurry up and command the mining team. Those idiots under you don’t know how to mine without a leader.”

“Yes.”

“Wait, what’s that on your desk?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I’ve just been interested in mechanical manufacturing since I was a kid. It’s a alarm I made in my spare time. Press that red button and it’ll let off a shrill siren.”

“Interesting. Let me try it.”

Then, all that could be heard from the communication device was a sharp buzzing siren.

Everyone on the S Battleship looked at each other.

At this point, Jack fully believed Bob.

“It looks like this is my chance to prove myself.”

The staff officers sensed something amiss and tried to persuade Jack.

“Captain, I feel that there’s something wrong with this person.”

“It’s been more than a year since we lost contact with Planet Bhutler, yet he suddenly appeared at this time. This is extremely abnormal!”

Jack’s face darkened and he said angrily.

“What’s wrong? This is a good chance to make amends. Do as Bob says and wait for his signal when we get near Planet Terra.”

“Captain, I don’t think it’s appropriate to go directly to Planet Terra…”

“Cut the crap. I’m the Captain. Let’s go!”

…

On Planet Terra…

Brian and Bob were in the conference room provided by the leader of Planet Terra.

Brian looked at Bob and praised him endlessly.

“I didn’t expect you to be so talented in acting. I only told you once and you completed the acting task.”

Bob scratched his head and whispered.

“The Overlord has taught me well.”

“There’s no need to be humble. Have you received professional acting training before?”

“Reporting to the Overlord, no. I simply talk to myself in the mirror when I’m free.”

“F*ck, that’s awesome. Damn, you’re really talented!”

Brian became even more enthusiastic about Bob.

Then, Brian continued to speak.

“Do you think that the ‘Captain’ will believe you?”

Bob replied to him confidently.

“He will definitely fall for it. After all, Jack is a very responsible person. Previously, all of the S Battleship Squadron members died on Planet Helka. Thus, he will definitely receive the most severe scolding from the higher-ups of Planet Bhutler.”

“In order to prove himself, he will definitely be anxious to make a contribution this time. If I provide him with information that he can use to make a contribution at this critical moment, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to do so.”

Brian furrowed his eyebrows.

“That’s not right. As the Captain of a fleet, how could Jack be so stupid?”

Bob explained.

“Jack is still very capable. He’s proficient in operatng all kinds of battleships. When fighting, he can maximize the strengths of each battleship while playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses. It’s just that his personality is flawed. He’s not suitable to be a Captain, but he’s a suitable warrior. The reason why he could become the Captain is because there are no better talents on Planet Bret.”

“Oh, does this mean that he is talented?”

“That’s right.”

“Then, how possible do you think it is to subdue Jack?”

Bob thought for a moment, then answered.

“Jack advocates military force. In the past, he chose to join the Bhutler civilization as its advanced technology would allow him to display his talents.”

“However, Jack has joined the Planet Bhutler Union. Although he became the Head Captain of the S Battleship Fleet with his own ability, due to his overly unyielding character, he offended a lot of people. Therefore, the upper echelons of the Planet Bhutler gave him difficult missions and tried their best to prevent Jack from entering the upper echelons of the Planet Bhutler. Previously, Jack almost died when he was carrying out several missions.”

“It can be said that Jack’s situation on Planet Bhutler is not good.”

“After the Overlord defeats him, as long as he sees the power of the Helka technological civilization that can provide him with enough benefits, there is a high chance that he will be subdued.”

Bob’s analysis was spot on. Jack was a man who pursued force and had arrived in a technologically advanced civilization. However, he had been ostracized in every way and had almost lost his precious life.

Then, when he was defeated by a stronger technological civilization, then received an olive branch from the other party…

… at that time, he would most likely choose to join the stronger civilization.

After Brian listened to Bob’s analysis, he suddenly laughed out loud.

“Alright. Bob, I think you’re very eloquent, and you know Jack very well. In that case, the task of convincing Jack will be yours.”

“Yes, my Overlord.”
