Chapter 1410: Chapter 469: Ambushing the Reinforcements (6k)_3

Inside the flagship, Bai Yi was still scrutinizing the star map compiled by her subordinates—the witches—when the waiting envoy suddenly spoke.

As the envoy specifically liaising with Bai Yi, he had now, in some sense, become involved with the upper echelons.

He was naturally aware of the collaboration between Bai Yi and the Emperor, and had even become the channel for communication between Bai Yi and the Gemini Civilization in this collaboration.

"Very well, report ahead when they’re about to arrive.

Is there any instruction from His Majesty the Emperor?"

"His Majesty the Emperor intends for you to maintain the facade of an attack, not to let Mr. Hunter see through it. For this, His Majesty has already deployed some warships to assist, increasing the plausibility of the request for aid."

"Heh, no need to say, I would do that anyway."

Bai Yi chuckled lightly, immediately grasping the Emperor’s intention.

It seemed to be merely a reminder for her to maintain the deception towards Hunter, preventing the Martial Cultivation Association President from noticing anything amiss. Yet, in reality, the Emperor’s heavy emphasis might not lie on the attack.

Bai Yi hadn’t expected that the Emperor would additionally mobilize a portion of the fleet.

Apparently, the Emperor truly valued this civilization...

Thankfully, compared to the civilization itself, the Emperor seemed to value the secrecy of this matter even more.

Even dispatching the fleet was done with extreme restraint, not exceeding standard support measures.

Furthermore, the combat power of this fleet was even inferior to the ordinary fleets she brought out this time, and nominally, they would all be under her command.

For now, everything was still within her control...

Bai Yi observed the information shared by the envoy being fed into the main intelligence of the warship, quickly making her judgment.

Re-focusing on the star map before her, the star map now displayed all the specific information surrounding her.

This included the coordinates of the colonization stars nearest to her from that Divine Authority civilization, as well as the current location of her fleet.

The latter naturally was information synchronized by the fleet itself, while the former was detailed intelligence brought back by Lunning.

Even before she gathered her fleet, Lunning had already returned to that colonization star with a reinforced squad, smoothly infiltrating other colonization stars via the civilization’s Teleportation Gate.

This enabled him to collect more intelligence.

According to the information transmitted by Lunning, colonies claimed by the civilization known as "Chaos" were far more numerous than she had imagined.

Among them, there were even a few closer to the fleet’s direction than the planets she had already visited.

However, the situation on most colonization stars was generally not much different from the planet she personally visited, with technology and living standards stuck at the city-state level.

Moreover, according to snippets gathered by Lunning from the mouths of some demigod-level powerhouses within certain city-states, this seemed intentional.

The powerful figures of this civilization’s divine system deliberately chose this approach to cultivate more believers with fewer resources, and to deliberately keep these believers impoverished to better showcase miracles, fostering greater dependence on the gods.

Upon seeing Lunning’s report, Bai Yi understood their strategy, though she couldn’t help but simultaneously marvel at the primitiveness of such tactics.

Bai Yi suddenly felt much relieved.

After all, the shorter-sighted and more primitive the enemy, the less costly it would be for her to achieve victory and acquire what she desired.

"A civilization ruled by personal great power, once the ruling individual’s governing ability is lacking, the consequences are indeed too severe...

Heh, but that’s a good thing.

Advance the entire army!"

Seeing that the dots representing her fleet on the star map were in position, stationed near several closest colonization stars, Bai Yi immediately commanded.

The next moment, several fleets’ real-time footage was projected onto the large screen of the warship.

Four fleets advanced openly in the starry sky without even a hint of concealment, as the various energy weapons on the warships unfolded.

The colonization stars locked by the fleet showed no signs of alertness.

They were merely a few low-level colonization stars, not fully transformed and with few transcendent beings. It was of course impossible to cover them directly with fleet firepower.

To do so would be akin to using a nuclear bomb to destroy an ant’s nest, using artillery to swat flies.

These warships were reserved for more valuable targets!

As for these colonization stars, the witches would handle them.

Following that, in several scenes, a few small warships detached from the fleet, each carrying a small squad of witches towards the planets.

Such scenes were no longer displayed on the large screen but transmitted into Bai Yi’s mind through faith.

"Vanguard Team 1 has arrived, has activated Faith Battery, and is testing the ’Prayer Channel’ information synchronization."

"Vanguard Team 2..."

Reports from several squads appeared one after another, along with their information and perspectives belonging to these squads.

This was Bai Yi’s exploration after her promotion of "Life Authority", attempting to transmit more information using strengthened faith control capabilities.

And now, it seemed the experiment was very successful.

"Connection is normal, you may commence action."

Upon Bai Yi’s permission, the witch perspectives in her mind immediately began to take action.

Scenes quickly flashed across the screen; from some brief images, one could barely discern that the witches were engaging in battles with certain Transcendents.
