I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1777: Preparing To Leave

As Hye was considering everything, the lady nymph and the pirate king both sent out the intel they got. And when Hye read through these, he couldn't help but frown.

They got very detailed information about the Toranks space caravan that made Hye doubt this was all coincidental. It felt like someone from the inside deliberately leaked such news and intel. The more he read, the more sceptical he became.

"Something seems off here… How come such detailed information about the top race highly classified caravan got leaked in such a way?!!"

From these records, he could tell this wasn't an easy caravan at all. The list of goods it held had too many TOP SECRET labels to it that made him unable to believe this was a normal caravan.

"Almost half of the cargo is top secret, and the exact content isn't clear. Hmm… If I want to realistically think about this, then I'd say this is a trap set by Toranks enemies…"

His mind drifted towards the hidden power that leaked this intel up. When he contacted the nymph lady and pirate king, both agreed on the same thing:

[This news is widespread in the dark trade hub channels, yet no one knows who released them for sure]

[Weird indeed] Hye paused before adding, [I don't like this]

[But the cargo looks really rich and huge, will be a great start for us] The pirate king seemed only interested in the expected loot. And Hye couldn't argue with him.

[Fine, but we'll play on my terms]

[What do you mean?] Both of them sent over at the same time, and Hye tapped on the arms of his seat for a few seconds before sending his conditions.

[I'll go first, spy and gather intel. You'll stay behind with the entire fleet. Make sure to not move a muscle until I give the order to]

[But…]

[Won't this link our group with you?]

[Not a problem, I'll disguise my ship and change its outer look. I'll also wear a space suit, and will restrain from using any of my signature moves]

Hye knew he'd get lots of limitations if he went out to do what he intended. But that didn't stop him though. He was known for a few tricks, including summoning warriors out of thin air, and using his techniques to control others.

"If I controlled my actions and hid quite well, it'll be hard to link the group to me. Even if others have suspicions, they won't be able to prove it…"

He sat there for half a day, while the lady nymph and the pirate king kept sending him lots of reports the moment they received. The intel kept getting richer and held more details about the entire cargo, but never delved deeper into the exact content of it.

The most glaring point that attracted his attention was that the cargo wasn't coming from a settlement or a base belonging to the Toranks here. Instead, it came from the outer battlefield, where a large number of Toranks forces were fighting.

According to the latest intel leaked, the cargo stopped first at a big system belonging to the Toranks. There it got lots of support, fleets to guard, and that told Hye how important the content of this cargo was.

"It's amazing how all these details are summed up, but not a single clue on what the cargo is carrying in general… It's either a trap from Toranks enemies, or a trap from Toranks themselves…"

Hye knew it was a trap, but as the pirate king said, the bait was too tempting to ignore. That was why he decided to take the lead himself. If things proved to be impossible for him and his gang to take a bite, he could easily escape using the backdoor to his second Earth world.

On another hand, things were going on track here. Construction process was going smoothly everywhere, and it seemed his presence here wasn't needed for a couple of months at least.

The area he got was truly immense. And trying to rebuild what he intended previously would take much longer time than he initially thought.

He took a few days to check over everything and leave his final instructions, making sure everyone of his friends and generals got what they needed to do here in his absence.

He made his instructions clear to not go out and limit all activities within. There were already many fleets outside doing reconnaissance missions, so he stressed over Lily to inform them to keep their activities low.

[Are you sure you don't need any of us with you?] Lily was far away from his current spot. And delaying travelling out right now was going to be a big mistake. The caravan would take around three months before arriving at the spot where the reports spoke about the best suited place to attack.

So if Hye wanted to get there early, he needed to move now.

[Just keep me posted all the time] Hye closed the chat with her, turned to the two standing in front of him and nodded.

"Are you sure we are going to do it this way?" The pirate king was still feeling weird about Hye's last requests last night, something that he couldn't fathom so far.

"It's for the best," but unlike him or the lady nymph, Hye was purely excited about this, "imagine having a pirate fleet, all made of alien ships. Won't that be shocking? It won't only help in disguising your identities, but will add another layer of mystery about your origins. And these ships are quite the fighter."

"But…"

"Don't worry, to operate these, you just need warriors with cultivation bases opened. I've already sent you both a huge number of their tokens, right?"

Hye looked at the two as if he already solved everything and there was nothing to worry about. The two exchanged looks in silence while they got what the other was thinking about.

"Ahem, we know all this, but there is still the point of familiarity…"
