Chapter 722: Unimaginable Information

Blood-colored planet, outer space.

Inside the flying treasure.

Yi Chen had just sent out the Shadow King a few days ago when he received a communication request from him.

He had to pause the creation of the laws of time seals and take out the communication stone to connect the call.

“Your Majesty, I just found Bunier and arrived nearby, and I’ve received an important message.”

The Shadow King’s voice soon echoed, calm in tone: “The human federation has already produced the ten million Large Battleships requested by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe. After Bunier contacted the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s foreign affairs department, it was confirmed that in about two or three months, a large number of escorts and support from the foreign affairs and War Departments will be sent to this star cluster.”

“One batch will participate in the transport of the Large Battleships, while another will come to this star cluster to resolve troubles for the human federation and bring the rewards and resource materials needed for the ongoing production of Large Battleships.”

“The human federation’s efficiency in handling this is quite impressive.”

Yi Chen felt a bit surprised.

He hadn’t expected that within just two years, the human federation had already manufactured ten million Large Battleships.

According to his original estimation, it wouldn’t take as long as the Tree-Dwelling Tribe estimated, but at least four to five years.

Fortunately, the human federation’s efficiency exceeded expectations, and his own development speed also surpassed what he had predicted.

He felt no worry about the arrival of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s reinforcements.

“Your Majesty, should I bring Boses and Titan Bo along to give the Tree-Dwelling Tribe a surprise?”

The Shadow King asked, eager for action.

“No need!”

Yi Chen firmly rejected the proposal.

The Large Battleships were the core interest of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe. If the Shadow King, together with Boses and Titan Bo, eliminated the escorts and reinforcements of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, it could likely lead to unnecessary troubles.

“Let’s ensure that this batch of Large Battleships is successfully delivered back to the Tree Star Cluster!”

Yi Chen pondered, “What we need to do is to take down a batch of Tree-Dwelling Tribe fighters at a time. This way, you can take Titan Bo and follow Bunier on a trip. Just collect all the Energy Aura from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe without doing anything else.”

“Additionally, the Captains should collect their Energy Auras as well, since tracking them in the future might indicate where this batch of battleships is located. Based on the location, we can roughly infer what the Tree-Dwelling Tribe is planning.”

“Understood!”

The Shadow King nodded in agreement and seemed to remember something. He spoke up: “The War Department is only responsible for various external wars, resolving matters that require the Tree-Dwelling Tribe to use powerful force and troops.”

“This time, the War Department has surprisingly sent strong fighters to join the escort team. Based on my estimates, this batch of Large Battleships is very likely to be directly sent to the War Department.”

“The War Department seems quite urgent; it could be that in the short term, they may implement some sort of surprise attack plan using the Large Battleships.”

“That is certainly possible!”

Yi Chen nodded, fully agreeing with the Shadow King’s deduction.

However, this had little relevance to him and the Great Flame Empire.

Even if the Tree-Dwelling Tribe were to implement a surprise attack plan, it was likely only for those vassal races to execute.

No matter how tense the situation in the super star cluster became, it wasn’t yet at a level where a dominant race like the Tree-Dwelling Tribe needed to personally intervene.

Similarly, the Great Flame Empire was far from being able to intervene in the wars among the major races in the super star cluster.

The only thing that made Yi Chen somewhat dissatisfied was the significant lack of information gathering.

For the three dominant races—the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, the Time Tribe, and the Reincarnation Tribe—his only source of information came from the Shadow Clan, which had spent thousands of years cultivating some lower-level undercover agents in the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s foreign affairs department.

He couldn’t track any major movements of the entire Tree-Dwelling Tribe, let alone their foreign affairs department.

And he had even less information about the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe.

But there was nothing he could do.

The Shadow Clan’s high-end combatants were simply too few.

Only the Shadow King was truly powerful enough to infiltrate the high ranks of the various tribes to gather information.

However, the Shadow King had to stay in this star cluster for now.

It was impossible for him alone to travel back and forth among the three races to collect information.

He could only wait for a later opportunity, thinking of how to gather high-quality immortal materials and the Heart of Time to enhance the Shadow King and Shadow Lords’ strength realm first.

With that, once a large number of Shadow Kings and Shadow Lords infiltrated the high ranks of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, Time Tribe, and others to gather intelligence, they could fully grasp the movements of the dominant races.

“Let’s observe the situation and decide after the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s reinforcements arrive!”

Yi Chen quickly made up his mind.

No matter how the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the human federation stirred up trouble now, the Great Flame Empire unifying the entire star cluster was an unstoppable trend.

Currently, he only needed to sit back and wait for the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s reinforcement to deliver themselves to his door, then take care of them when he had the time.

With the Shadow King, Boses, and Titan Bo’s strength, plus the treasures in his possession, this star cluster was already destined to be his.

…

In the Tianling Star Cluster, amid the boundless starry sky.

Six medium and small battleships quietly emerged after performing a Space Jump.

Then, the six battleships spread out, heading in six different directions.

The operators of these six medium and small battleships were all humans.

All the intelligent systems and controls of the ships only obeyed the commands of the humans.

However, these human operators of the medium and small battleships were all prisoners captured by the Ten-Armed Tribe.

There were also a large number of Beast Clan members aboard the battleships.

As these ships passed by various life planets, strong members of the Beast Clan left the ships and flew toward these life planets.

They were all sent to investigate the details and information about the Great Flame Empire.

After spending three to four days using these battleships, they successfully arrived at the Tianling Star Cluster.

Given the importance of the mission, the Leader of the Ten-Armed Tribe dispatched six medium and small battleships along with over a hundred fighters above level 100 all at once.

Even if the Great Flame Empire’s defenses were extremely tight, there had to be at least one way to successfully uncover detailed information.

If there were two or more, they could more accurately verify the authenticity of the information gathered.

After leaving their battleships, these strong members of the Ten-Armed Tribe used various means to disguise themselves as representatives of the major races on the planets they were assigned to.

Then, they sent the information and footage they collected through the communication stones, continually relaying it to the elder responsible for this matter back at the Ten-Armed Tribe.

When the elders of the Ten-Armed Tribe received the information and footage sent by these strong members, the first thought that crossed their minds was a serious doubt about the authenticity of the data.

Even though the various materials and footage came from over a hundred strong members who went to different life planets, the elders believed even more that these combatants had been controlled by the Great Flame Empire.

They suspected all the footage and materials had been fabricated by the Great Flame Empire using special means, then sent to them by these fighters to scare the entire Ten-Armed Tribe.

The information and footage were so unimaginable that it made it hard to believe.

Yet no matter how he tested or contacted those fighters indirectly, he could not uncover any signs that they had been controlled.
