Chapter 1745 New Enemy Approaches!
Hye planned to take his time here and gather as much loot as he could. If any danger approached, he'd leave this battle to Major and his forces, head towards the next danger, and illuminate it.
He knew he did a great help to Major. Even if he didn't know the man leading the forces here, he could tell from the swift changes in tactics that he was someone pretty experienced and capable. So it was fine to leave him even now, as Hye already disturbed the enemy's formation, and Major took advantage of that. You'll find the origin of this content at n0velb!n•
So he kept himself fighting here while waiting for another fire siren to blow. But luckily nothing like that happened, and he kept hitting the enemies here for an entire week.
During this time, he felt like he got something close to being sent back in time again. He felt so familiar when he did so, recalling the glorious moments he experienced and lived through back at the apocalypse, feeling this one was worth getting added to this long list of his.
He gains more than thirty thousand enemy ships of different sizes. He even collected twenty big flagships, either by taking down any of these sent out by the enemy, or by sending and spreading his Soulers and Reapers around to hunt more.
Releasing his scary warrior legions out to hunt enemy ships had its perks and cons. They managed to clear lots of ships, taking advantage of coming without the enemy noticing them, and without suffering any harm if the enemy spotted and tried to attack them.
But this happened in the middle of the harsh ongoing war, so many of these ships got destroyed, and many more of his warriors got killed. As he sent a warning to Major, warning him again from doing so, another problem emerged.
Yet when he heard from Legend about the weird shapes their spaceships had, he couldn't help but suck in a cold air of breath.
"They belong to the other universe, and it seems they are here looking for trouble..." he looked around, before checking the map installed in his small ship.
The good news was that such an incoming fleet wasn't far away from this ongoing battle. "I can do something to trick everyone here then," he muttered to himself, before opening the common channel and spreading the news.
"To whoever leads this fleet from the universe, there is a new army coming... Large fleet from those bastards are heading our way at fast speed..."
Hye said everything and told the truth, and yet he threw a little lie in the middle, one that changed everything.
"Are you sure?!!" Major was sitting in his flagship, enjoying the grand victories his ships and fleets were having everywhere over the enemy. Yet when he received this warning from Hye, he couldn't help but feel quite disturbed.
To succeed in his mission, he needed to exterminate an entire force, not just part of it. His forces were killing everywhere, but it still was too early to celebrate finishing this task.
If that fleet approached, then everything would change for the worse! Hye just wanted to scare Major and let him join hands to keep the incoming fleet busy until they'd finish clearing this one here. Yet Hye never knew that he hit the mark right on the spot with what he said.
"I got scouts spread around, or else how did I learn about your presence in the first place?" Hye knew he'd give hints to Major about the purpose of his presence here. It made more sense for Hye to be here trying to get to the outer battlefield. But after saying this, such a possibility would diminish, and Major would think more about him being here to do something else.
Yet he didn't risk giving another lie, not when everything he was building so far was on the verge of getting lost. He just needed two more weeks, or three at most, and everything back there would be ready. This battle would take roughly one more week to end, and with the appearance of another fleet and one more battle, things were going to last for a much longer time.
