Time passed slowly, with tons of reports flooding his chat from pirate king and lady nymph. At first this was easy to handle, but soon enough things started to heat up at his warriors' side.
The first day passed without any action. The warriors reached the closest places he suspected and ended up finding nothing there. But starting from the second day onward, things started to heat up.
"They are there!" The first thing that happened was for a couple of screens to get dark. He was in the middle of reviewing the latest reports sent to him, and when he noticed the dark screens, he dropped any interest in these reports.
Hye didn't need to review the recordings to know his warriors stepped into places that had Selvator fleets hidden in them. But he did review the recordings, hoping to find a better way to approach these areas without getting noticed.
"Hmm, it seems they scattered lots of decoys all around the steroid belts to alarm them if any approached their areas…" he saw in the two recordings the same thing happening.
His warriors hit something with their ships. Even if the ships were stealthed, it seemed they hit with things that could alarm the enemies of their locations.
Roughly half an hour later, the screens turned dark without showing much of the enemy details. Hye knew they got hammered hard by intense firepower, making it nearly impossible to get a clue of the fleets hidden there.
"They need to lower their flying speed once approaching a belt," Hye instantly gave the orders to his warriors, making them more cautious to approach their destinations.
He didn't stop there and started to slowly examine the recordings. Yet from these two incidents he couldn't get a clue, didn't get any until the twentieth incident.
"They are using artificial made meteorites… Interesting!" At last, he could spot what his warriors' ships were hitting to alarm the enemies. The screen of the last ship attacked showed a small object, flying fast, with a head of fire and long tail of dust and smoke.
It was like meteorites, but meteorites wouldn't move in the same way shown by the warrior ship. "Something must have attracted them to the ships… Is it the speed of flight? Or something else?"
Even if he spotted that thing, he didn't get enough information to make his warriors safely approach their destinations. And so, he started to spread additional orders to the ones approaching their belts.
"Let's see what you use," he ordered these ships to stop a distance away from the belts. Then they'd release a few warriors in suits and see what they'd spot coming at them.
"They still came at them…" he thought what attracted these artificial meteorites was the high speed the ships were flying at. But when the meteorites attacked the individual warriors flying slowly, he knew this wasn't the case.
"I need to experiment more, however…" he was tightly lacking in time to do so. Yet when he was busy thinking about a solution, he noticed something.
Every ship released around ten of their warriors, five got hit, and the other five didn't. He thought more meteorites would come, but none came.
"There is a limit!" Hye realised this point, "this is how they'd go without being detected!"
As his warrior ships were away from the belts and actively using the stealth function, the Selvator ships sent to kill the intruders didn't spot them. And to test his theory, he asked for one ship to advance.
"It passed!" The ship moved unhindered, didn't get attacked, and safely reached the asteroid belt. It stationed itself in a place not that close nor far from the Selvator fleet. And for the first time, Hye could finally see the fleet stationed in the belt.
"They brought a ton of small ships, without a single large ship…" the first thing he noticed from the broadcast was the lack of any big ship in the belt. This wasn't just a single case, but all the belts his warriors infiltrated showed the same thing.
"It seems they just sent the small ships over, leaving the more noticeable large ones away for now," he could only think of such a possibility to explain what his warriors found, "they are so overly cautious to not get spotted… What's exactly in that caravan?!"
The more he thought about it, the more he got convinced of how highly important what was in the caravan was for the Selvators. The thing that didn't make sense was the fact that this caravan came from the other universe.
"If it's important for the Selvators, this means it should be important as well to the Toranks…" he paused and started to go through the reports and intel regarding the Toranks.
During all this, he never placed the Toranks' response to such a threat that much. He knew the Toranks sent lots of fleets, but he didn't dig seriously into greater details.
Yet when he started to read through the reports mentioning the Toranks, he couldn't help but realise how serious the Toranks were to secure the caravan.
The fleets sent to directly escort the caravan weren't that much. But many recent reports mentioned the large number of fleets the Toranks kept sending to surround everything.
"Interesting…" Two forces were surrounding the caravan a huge distance away. It felt like two gigantic snakes were curling around a huge gem, ready to kill anything coming close to it, ready to kill each other for it.
"One side is hiding his presence, and the other isn't caring about hiding at all. The question is… Are the Toranks aware of what's going on? Do they know about Selvators grand scheme?"
This was a very important question. As if the Toranks knew, then he could imagine more fleets to be stationed far from here, ready to intervene if needed.
"I hope they do, hehehe," to him this would be better news. Having the two behemoths fight against each other was what he needed, to make them busy fighting and he'd slip through without getting stopped.
