Chapter 1772: Giving Everyone A Scare
"It's ok," Hye paused, "let's send them out again. The war is over, and now space belongs to us. But make them quite cautious, we don't know if enemy ships are around us or not."
"We can send scouts as well…"
"Waste of effort," he started to tell her about the presence of the stronger forces in the middle of the enemy forces.
"This… Ok, I'll make sure they'll get cautious and move away from any ship," she got what he wanted to convey, got how serious this situation was, "however…"
"I know, we need to find a way to go out there and score something," he sighed, "without doing this, our forces will stick at level one."
"We can't do it right now…" she paused, and the expression on his face told her he was well aware of this point, "fine, I'll go and get things done."
The two hugged and kissed, before she left and he was left alone.
"Staying for twenty years away from all this makes my adrenaline skyhigh," he muttered, while recalling how his days were dull and boring back in this period.
He lived like a true normal human, enjoying every single moment of rest and doing nothing. And yet, he knew this life wasn't for him. He was a warrior, and battlefields suited warriors the most.
That was why he was feeling excited about all that. He just came out of that shell, spent a couple of months here, and he was met with tons of amazing events.
He recalled what he passed through this far, and felt grateful every single move he made was fruitful, bringing him higher step by step.
"I love it here," he moved his eyes around, watching the seemingly endless space surrounding his ship, the space of his grand territory, "I was blessed to purchase a piece of space like this, and find a way to heavily fortify it. I can't complain about any of that…"
He then went out, wore his suit, and started to take out his gained ships. Even if the Soulers and Reapers didn't finish their tasks now, he spent more time transferring what they gained directly to his inventory.
It was a bit troublesome as he had to select them in batches, each of one thousand. But he gained a ton of ships, and was now ready to go on a full spree of loot hunting.
"Gather up half of their inventories, collect their bones… That's my favourite thing about great wars, hahaha!"
He kept laughing while watching his two abilities running in full turbo mode, collecting tons of stuff and bones. At this moment, it didn't feel like what he did before was a waste. And right now he regretted not trying harder to kill and hunt more ships and fleets.
Yet when he noticed he didn't scratch more than one percent of his entire scattered army of Soulers and Reapers, he calmed himself down.
"I have to not be too greedy," he said to himself, "if I pushed forward back then, it'd have turned much worse. I need to play according to my current abilities, or else will lose, will lose big…"
He reminded himself of this many times while collecting the loot. He didn't check everything at first, and focused more on claiming what he could.
Yet the loot wasn't that great all the time. It varied from one group of ships to another. A group would have people from this universe, and so his top gain would be from their inventories. As for their bones, they were all common grade ones.
As for the ships coming from the other universe, they didn't give him anything as they didn't get inventories. On the other hand, they donated lots of dark realm bones, something that was very scarce and rare.
He spent a few days doing this before he finally got over everything he gained from his warriors. He could have drained more, but he stopped, sent a message over to Lily to come and pick these ships.
He wanted her to distribute these ships and fleets over the many generals they had. She didn't come in person, sent a group of people over. And they were shocked by what they saw.
William didn't take back the ships he took out, leaving them floating peacefully in space. They looked like a grand gathering of many fleets, scaring the folks she sent.
[Are you the one taking such a grand number of ships out? Or is it an enemy ambush?] she couldn't help but ask, as her men sent to her, trying to confirm what they were seeing on radar.
The radar looked as if it got painted in red. And that was indeed quite scary and shocking.
[Don't worry, it's all ours] he laughed when he realised what happened, [Just let them come, collect all of the ships, then dispatch them over to our boys out there]
He knew she was capable of selecting good men and planning how to distribute these ships over everyone. And yet her shock and surprise made him smile and laugh.
"I told her I'll give them a huge number of ships, but it seemed she underestimated what we got from this big war…" he said amidst his laughs, before taking out his flagship and going inside.
"I need to rest, yawn!" he stretched his arms, realised how long he kept himself awake fighting enemies everywhere. Even if his body was supported by stats, his mind still got weary by all this.
Before going to sleep, he made sure to check over everything going on. His warriors were left for Lucas to lead and organise their actions, while the fleets of his kingdom were having fun already.
They received the news, and according to Lily, they were quite excited and thrilled by all this. They started to grab all the loot anywhere they could reach while taking note of any incoming attacks from the scattered enemies.
They worried for nothing actually. After all, the forces that came from this universe decided to retreat and report back. As for the ones coming from the other universe, they sat their flying course over to return to the outer battlefield.
