Chapter 1788: Making One Move After Another
"Not only did they kill lots of ships, but they also disrupted the formation way better than I imagined, hahaha!" Hye looked at the aftermath of his intervention, couldn't help laughing at the Toranks.
The protective Toranks fleets weren't small, but they weren't in the right formation nor position to stop anyone coming. The screen showing the part of space around the outer line up of defence looked as if the entire space was formed of spaceships.
Everyone came, and everyone wanted to race others to the caravan and get it.
Hye knew the Selvators were acting calm as everything was happening the way they planned. But now he changed everything, as if he flipped the table with one single move.
The Toranks tried their best, but it was clear they didn't have what it'd take to stop the incoming fleets. As things escalated to such an extent, their top priority shifted to letting the caravan escape first with as many fleets as possible.
That meant they'd leave behind kamikaze fleets, few in number, but quite deadly. They acted in a very suicidal way, while paving the road for the caravan to escape.
The incoming various forces' fleets moved with high momentum and morale at first. But soon all this got lost and crushed by the suicidal fleets the Toranks left behind.
"Quite brutal," watching all the death and explosions that erupted from that bloody battlefield made even Hye feel quite shocked, "what's exactly in that caravan? They are putting on a much better performance than I even imagined!"
In front of Hye, he saw what meant to be one of the top races in the universe. Even in such a drastically bad situation, the Toranks managed to pull a move that slightly shifted the odds to the better for them.
And yet what Hye did with his intervention was enough to make it hard to protect the caravan. Even if the few suicidal Toranks fleets managed to stop the incoming flood of enemies, it was only temporarily measure.
On top of that, many smart forces decided to abandon the direct chase, and took much longer routes to reach the caravan away from the bloodbath at the big battle.
It was clear that in a few hours, the caravan would get entrapped with tons of enemies. As for those who'd get their hands on its content, it was still unclear.
"It's now or never," Hye sat in his ship, amusingly watching the entire show with cold blood. He did all this to force the Selvators' hands. And he knew delaying their intervention would cost them huge.
"Here you are!" As he expected, the Selvators couldn't keep watching things getting out of their hands without getting involved.
The first sign he spotted came from the stealth ships he sent over and monitored the Selvator fleets. "One… Two… Five… Twenty…"
He kept counting the spots that Selvators moved from. "Pretty decisive! They moved two thirds of their forces… That means the rest will be left to stop any hidden players…"
Out of all the spots Hye's ships were watching, two thirds moved while the rest didn't. He didn't stand idle and ordered his stealth ships to tag along, carry over the development of the Selvators fleets all the time.
He knew the Selvators were a truly hidden behemoth that none was prepared for. "It's time for my second move," as he saw the Selvators fleet move as fast as they could, he knew it was time to make his second move.
[You want us to issue these as an intel report?!!]
[How did you get these in the first place?!!!]
The other two who kept nagging him about getting into the fray had something to do at the end. He sent them recordings of the Selvator fleets movement, without showcasing the places they were hiding at.
[Why not? Anyone can release intel reports, right? Just do it, and don't forget to leave your pirate force name behind these intel reports]
Hye didn't just want to expose the Selvators early to the world, he also wanted to make a little name for his new pirate force.
He knew such reports would make a big fuss. After all, no one knew about the presence of the Selvators. And not only exposing them early would foil their plans and make it harder for them to steal the caravan, it would also give the credit for this god sent help to his pirate force.
In his eyes, he was getting the most out of this war so far, even more than the ones who planned everything in the first place.
Watching the reports getting released, and responses flooding his messages which got shared by the other two, Hye could only laugh.
The forces gathered in this spot of the universe got all shaken and shocked by such revelation. At the same time, they all felt utmost gratitude for Hye's fleet of pirates who exposed such deadly threat.
The timing was perfect! The Selvators were already halfway towards the caravan and the deadly battles were ongoing out there. Not only the different forces got advantage of Hye's intel and help, but also the Toranks.
In front of him, he saw almost all the forces and Toranks fleets to disengage. The Toranks fleets raced after their caravan, while preparing tight defensive formations. As for other forces, they seemed as if they were tagging along from far, while not risking getting greedy.
The presence of such a big force out of the blue made everyone wary and suspicious. Without the need for Hye to say it, everyone started to question if the Selvators were the ones behind all this.
This was the most logical and simplest explanation everyone had. Even the Toranks guessed the same. But even guessing this fact wouldn't help any in this situation.
The Selvators were on their way here, and no one was ready for them.
"What will you do, scattered forces?" Sitting in his ship, Hye felt like he was a maestro orchestrating an epic piece of melody. "Don't tell me you want another intervention… Tsk!"
