Chapter 747
by fanqienovelChapter 747: Cautious Morris
“Lord Bunier and Lord Lieka should have also discussed a detailed plan by now.”
Contrary to the expectations of the two hundred and ten level strong fighters and Troke, Morris still felt uneasy.
He spoke up, “I think we should contact the two lords about this matter, bring all the treasures over, and let them use their Perception Ability to check everything again. If there’s really no problem… the treasures could also be kept by the two lords to ensure that no unexpected situations arise. As for Troke, we can give him other treasures as compensation.”
As soon as he said this, Troke nearly collapsed in shock.
He did not expect that even after a thorough inspection, Morris would still not let it go.
“Uh… wouldn’t that be a bit too disruptive for them?”
“Yeah! We already checked them before coming, and we checked them again ourselves; it’s completely unnecessary to waste the lords’ time again.”
Even the group of two hundred and ten level strong fighters felt that Morris was being a bit overly cautious.
Wasting their own time was one thing.
Going to ask Bunier and Lieka to check everything again could potentially create dissatisfaction among their superiors if nothing was found.
“Let’s do this! I’ll contact Lord Bunier.”
Seeing that everyone seemed reluctant, Morris took out the communication stone.
Unlike the others, he was not worried that Bunier and Blake would be displeased with him.
He understood well that Bunier and Blake had also faced difficulties multiple times, and their caution matched his own.
Even if nothing came of the inspection, they would not blame him; instead, they would appreciate his carefulness and find him capable.
As for Lieka and the other two hundred and twenty level strong fighters being displeased with him, it did not matter.
After all, these two hundred and twenty level strong fighters belonged to the War Department, and no matter how displeased they were, it wouldn’t affect him in the future.
“Alright!”
“Sounds good!”
The group of two hundred and ten level strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe immediately lost all objections.
Since they didn’t have to make the contact themselves, any blame could fall on Morris.
If an issue was found, they would also share in any benefits.
After all, Morris was just one person; he couldn’t possibly argue against their entire group of two hundred and ten level strong fighters.
Just then, as they reached an agreement, a shadow flashed by.
Troke suddenly acted, grabbing the blue gem and attempting to fly away in the distance.
While fleeing at full speed, he used his Perception Ability to probe into the gem’s space and sent a message for help to Maleko.
This was the decision he made after much internal struggle.
Taking action would undoubtedly confirm that he had a problem.
If Troke didn’t take action, all the treasures would be given to the two hundred and twenty level strong fighters for inspection.
If that was the case, he could bear it.
After all, even two hundred and twenty level strong fighters couldn’t sense the abnormality of the blue gem.
The problem was that, according to Morris, he would also suggest that the two hundred and twenty level strong fighters keep all his treasures close to them.
If that happened, it would be a serious problem.
Maleko and the others wouldn’t dare come out from the gem, let alone secretly control a fleet of Large Battleships to the Reincarnation Star Cluster.
He had to take a risky move and try to notify Maleko, urging them to escape from there.
Although their identities would be exposed, with Maleko and another two hundred and twenty level strong fighter’s power, escaping would surely be no problem.
Finding an opportunity to control a fleet of Large Battleships to leave shouldn’t be difficult either.
“Not good, he really has a problem! Surround him!”
When Troke suddenly grabbed a treasure and ran, Morris immediately reacted. Huge branches quickly extended and crashed toward Troke.
The other two hundred and ten level strong fighters also spread out, moving at full speed to quickly surround Troke.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Morris’s branch struck Troke’s body, heavily injuring him and knocking him unconscious.
Inside the blue gem, Maleko used his Perception Ability to quietly spread out, sensing the situation outside, and instantly felt deep regret.
“Wait…”
He quickly shouted to another two hundred and twenty level powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe who was preparing to charge out.
After receiving Troke’s notification, if he had rushed out of the blue gem right away, he could have easily carved a path for Troke.
After all, although there were hundreds of two hundred and ten level strong fighters present, there wasn’t a single two hundred and twenty level strong fighter among them.
His sudden appearance would be impossible to stop.
But he didn’t do that.
He chose to send a message to another two hundred and twenty level strong fighter from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, hoping to have him help Troke escape.
By doing this, he could significantly reduce the suspicions of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.
At the very least, his sudden appearance would make the Tree-Dwelling Tribe realize that the Reincarnation Tribe was aware of the situation.
If it was a two hundred and twenty level strong fighter from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, it would only confirm that news about this matter had leaked.
But it wouldn’t specify which tribe it leaked to, and whether it did leak to other tribes was also uncertain.
After all, it was possible that a suddenly appearing two hundred and twenty level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter had nothing to do with any tribe, but was just a middle and upper rank member of the War Department with other thoughts and intentions, such as wanting to assassinate competitors or enemies.
The idea was good.
But the result was not well thought out.
He overlooked that there were hundreds of two hundred and ten level strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe present.
Right now, over a hundred two hundred and ten level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters had completely surrounded Troke and were on high alert.
What to do?
Maleko felt a tremendous headache.
In this situation, with the other side on high alert and prepared, even a two hundred and twenty level strong fighter would take time to break through.
The problem was that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s two hundred and twenty level strong fighters were not far away, leaving hardly any time for the two hundred and twenty level strong fighters to break through.
The only way to break through now was for him and the two hundred and twenty level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter to join forces.
Two two hundred and twenty level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters working together would definitely not be something that over a hundred two hundred and ten level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters could withstand.
But doing so would completely expose them.
Moreover, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s reinforcements this time came with powerful fighters skilled in tracking and searching techniques.
He did have a treasure on him that could block tracking and searching techniques, but he only had that one.
Even if they managed to escape, unless they abandoned the two hundred and twenty level Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter, it would be difficult to evade the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s tracking.
“I’ll notify Lord Bunier now. Does anyone among you have skills in memory extraction? I didn’t kill Troke; I only heavily injured him. We can find a way to extract his memories.”
Morris spoke up.
“I have memory extraction techniques.”
A two hundred and ten level strong fighter replied.
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters looked at Morris, their expressions shifting from ridicule to admiration.
None of them expected that Morris’s caution would actually prove to be incredibly effective.
Inside the blue gem, Maleko, who sensed the outside situation through his Perception Ability, was now completely flustered.
Once they extracted Troke’s memories, they would know exactly how many people were involved, and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would be fully aware of the situation.
They might even be able to identify everyone based on Troke’s memories and gather related Energy Auras from the Tree Star Cluster.
If he couldn’t control a fleet of Large Battleships to leave the star cluster for the Reincarnation Star Cluster within two months,
then the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s War Department would send more powerful fighters skilled in tracking and searching methods to the star cluster.
By that time, let alone other people, even with his powerful treasure that blocked tracking methods, it would be difficult for him to escape from disaster.
