Chapter 759
by fanqienovelChapter 759: The Shocked Chief Supervisor
“Not… not connected?”
Seeing Bunier’s expression darken, Blake’s face also grew grim, and even his voice trembled a bit.
Since arriving in this star cluster, although not all hopes had been shattered, all the unpredictable outcomes had come true.
“Not connected. I’ll contact Lieka directly… You guys also reach out to other strong fighters to check the situation.”
After half a minute passed without any response from the other side, Bunier had no choice but to summon Lieka’s aura, while asking Blake and another strong fighter skilled in tracking and searching techniques to reach out to their targets as well.
Blake and the other level 200 strong fighter quickly took out their communication stones.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
More than twenty seconds passed, and all three changed their contact targets.
But still, there was no response.
Changing targets again yielded the same result.
It continued until they had contacted all eleven strong fighters who went to the Tianling Star Cluster, and they received nothing. Bunier and Blake exchanged worried looks, their faces pale with fear.
Not again!
What a similar outcome!
Last time, five level 210 strong fighters moved out together, and within just a few minutes, they lost contact. Only the cautious Morris returned alone.
This time, however, ten level 220 strong fighters were deployed.
And those ten level 220 strong fighters, plus the strong fighter skilled in tracking and searching techniques, split into five groups and relied on each other.
How could they still lose contact in such a strange manner?
Can level 220 Tree-Dwelling Tribe powerful beings really die in a star cluster with a maximum level of only 150?
Both of them felt an urge to scream.
Deep inside, a wave of helplessness and fear rose.
They couldn’t understand how Yi Chen and the Shadow King could silently eliminate level 220 strong fighters, even preventing them from calling for help.
But no matter how they accomplished it, the facts lay before them.
Suddenly remembering something, Bunier quickly took out his communicator and contacted Lu Qingxian.
He asked him to check with the Military about the current location of the five Large Battleships.
Lu Qingxian and the high-ranking leaders of the parliament and Military were also waiting for good news.
There was no need for inquiry; they could provide an accurate answer.
About ten minutes ago, the five Large Battleships had successfully arrived at the Tianling Star Cluster.
Bunier ended the call in a daze.
This message completely shattered the last sliver of hope left in his heart.
Without a doubt, Lieka and the others had truly gone missing.
No more luck can be hoped for.
What should we do?
Bunier and Blake exchanged glances and saw fear reflected in each other’s eyes.
If they weren’t so timid and cautious, staying back to support the human federation, they might also have faced misfortune by now.
“Let’s request help from the foreign affairs department!”
After a long pause, Blake finally spoke up.
Despite a thousand reluctances in his heart, Bunier ultimately nodded helplessly.
Asking for help from the high-ranking leader of the foreign affairs department after the reinforcements had only just arrived in this star cluster two days ago felt incredibly embarrassing, especially when they had to report that all the reinforcements were completely wiped out.
But whether they wanted to or not, they had to ask for help.
With everything having turned upside down in just one night, he and Blake were left in a dire situation.
Before their reinforcements arrived, only Morris remained by their side.
Now, with Morris dead, they had only a level 200 strong fighter skilled in tracking and searching techniques, which meant they couldn’t continue with their mission.
Fortunately, if ten level 220 strong fighters could be completely wiped out, it was a sin not of battle but due to unforeseen circumstances, not a failure in judgment.
The five thousand reinforcements being wiped out was also a mistake from the War Department, and they couldn’t be blamed for that.
Bunier took out his communication stone and began contacting his direct supervisor, the chief supervisor and one of the high-ranking leaders in the foreign affairs department.
“Have all the missions been completed?”
The chief supervisor quickly connected the call.
“No, not at all…”
Bunier found it hard to speak.
“Then why are you contacting me?”
The chief supervisor sounded puzzled.
“Well… two days ago, we just returned to this star cluster. Someone unexpectedly discovered that there were undercover agents from the Reincarnation Tribe hiding among the reinforcements. Furthermore, these Reincarnation Tribe undercover agents not only possessed spatial-type treasures that could evade detection but also included a level 220 strong fighter from the Reincarnation Tribe, a level 220 powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, and many level 200 and level 210 strong fighters…”
“What? Strong fighters from the Reincarnation Tribe?”
The chief supervisor couldn’t help but interrupt Bunier’s explanation. “Doesn’t that mean that the Reincarnation Tribe already knows about everything happening in this star cluster and with the human federation and the Large Battleships?”
“Yes!”
Bunier nodded.
“Damn it, what on earth is happening in the War Department!”
The chief supervisor was furious.
This situation was undoubtedly a serious failure caused by the War Department.
At the very least, the foreign affairs department had sent several batches of envoys to this star cluster, and there had never been undercover agents from other races mixed in.
Of course, it is also possible that undercover agents from other races mixed in but were not discovered.
“Later on, the discovered strong fighters from the Reincarnation Tribe used confinement type powerful treasures. While we, the level 220 strong fighters, were discussing our actions, they trapped all the reinforcements on the Deserted Star where they were stationed.”
“The fifty thousand reinforcements were therefore completely wiped out. However, we successfully broke their barriers and used the Large Battleships of the human federation along with strong fighters skilled in tracking and searching techniques to ambush and eliminate all of them.”
“……”
The chief supervisor of the foreign affairs department fell silent.
He felt secretly relieved.
Although the loss of fifty thousand reinforcements was significant, the complete elimination of the Reincarnation Tribe undercover agents was not an unacceptable outcome.
“Are you sure that all the Reincarnation Tribe undercover agents have been eliminated?”
He couldn’t help but ask again; this was the key point.
“Absolutely!”
Bunier replied with certainty.
“Then, I will inform the War Department to send another batch of reinforcements!”
The chief supervisor did not hesitate.
Since the situation resulted from a mistake on the part of the War Department, they naturally had to take responsibility to make up for it.
“Um… the matter isn’t over yet.”
Bunier hesitated for a moment before continuing, “We received information collected by the human federation that the strongest member of humanity is using spirit mines, which are easier to sense the principles of heaven and earth, to create various levels of treasures that can help those with talent limits break through to higher realms.”
“Does the same effect occur for members of other races who practice inside?”
The chief supervisor’s eyes lit up as he asked another critical question.
“Yes! Moreover, the space is vast.”
Bunier nodded helplessly.
He actually didn’t want to mention this because, if it got out, level 230 strong fighters might come to take command, making it difficult for him and Blake to receive any credit.
On the other hand, if no level 230 strong fighters were willing to come, he and Blake would feel uncertain.
“Immediately communicate with the strong fighters from the War Department to formulate a plan, prioritizing the task of capturing the strongest member of humanity, and it’s best to implement the plan right away.”
The chief supervisor showed no hesitation.
“A plan has been made and put into action, but the ten level 220 strong fighters sent by the War Department, along with a strong fighter skilled in tracking and searching techniques, have all mysteriously lost contact.”
Bunier sighed.
“What?”
The chief supervisor was dumbfounded.
If that were the case, it would mean that more than fifty thousand reinforcements, including the ten level 220 powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, had been completely wiped out within just two or three days after arriving in this star cluster!
He finally understood why Bunier had contacted him suddenly.
