Chapter 1709 The Mighty King Title!

Hye laughed over her, then looked around and spotted a behemoth coming from a far spot.

It wasn't that far, but it was moving quite slow. Without the need to ask, he could tell the shields were strong enough to stop any incoming meteorite shower heading towards the giant ship.

"Told you, the shield system is perfect in these ships, hahahaha!"

"Don't laugh! I had to let everyone on board exert all of their power to keep the shields in such a state!"

"Is that so? Don't forget to relay such news to others, to let them do the same," he missed the point of her not having his bones, not able to use them the same way he used them.

"I'm burning my assets, my precious inventory of high energy materials just to make the ship run and endure the attacks! You'll have to compensate me for this..."

"Don't whine over this, you already gained tons of stuff from back then," Hye paused, referring in his words to the loot spree the two started back on the world, "and in the upcoming war, you can jump with other warriors, gather up the loot of the dead there."

"They need to get killed first!"

"That's why your ship and others are filled with Soulers and Reapers," William paused, "these two are strong enough to kill anything!"

"Let's hope so... Wait a minute... Does that mean you'll let me have any loot I want?"

"Aside from any ships and crystals, that's a given," he knew the newly acquired villainous side of her was now stirring her up, filling her with adrenaline and greed.

"Great! I will hold you accountable if you ask for anything later on, hahahaha! I love you, hahahaha!" As a little girl happy for a new dress, she changed her viewpoint and attitude for one hundred and eighty degrees the moment he told her that. And he couldn't help but helplessly sigh, while focusing on steering his ship to evade the incoming meteorites.

He was now surer than ever that after all this, she'd turn sides and be one of the smugglers and outlaws in the universe!

Hye focused on steering the ship, while the attacks he suffered grew intense. He didn't know why but he felt like the shower coming at him didn't decrease in amount or intensity as he expected.

He thought by bringing such a large number of ships with him, many would shield the incoming shower. The ones destroyed would help others to evade the incoming deadly attacks. But the truth was a bit different, much different than that.

The nightmare ended in around six hours. The moment he went outside, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw the number of ships waiting for him outside.

"Almost ten percent got damaged, not bad," he predicted, and was glad that his comment back then hit the mark.

Yet the more ships appeared, the more he became excited. "Only six percent was lost... That's amazing!" The nymph lady was the one to comment on that, but there was no time to celebrate such a thing.

Hye already deployed the medium sized spaceships around while waiting for the rest of his fleet to cross the meteorite belt zone. And when the number of ships increased, many eyes were attracted to it.

"We have to arrange ourselves for the upcoming battle," as they were too close from the dead zone, no one ever dared to try them out. But that didn't mean they weren't surrounded! The two sides sent many ships to block their path into the war, gathering up a large number of ships, enough to build ten fleets the same size as his.

"We jumped from the frying pan to the fire," she paused before adding, "at least we got a stop in the middle to catch our breaths and get ready. Tell me, champ, how do you plan to crush them?"

"Well..." Hye knew he lacked a ton if it came up to how battles were done in the universe, "let me lead a small part of the fleet out there and see what will happen."

"Are you sure?" She was surprised by this, but what he said next made her laugh.

"After we attract their attention, you lead the rest. Open fire when the target get in range, and for those who are trying to run away and very close to you, send the Soulers and Reapers out to hunt them."

"Hahahaha! That totally suits the actions of an outlaw, hahahaha!"

"Just make sure to move at the right moment," Hye stressed over this, ignoring the useless remark of hers, "moving too early or a bit late will ruin everything."

"Count on me, hahahaha! I like this plan a lot, hahahaha!"

He ignored her and selected a few of the ships around. He didn't know who did better than others, but limited his selection to the ships which came out unscathed from the meteorite belt.

Then he led them directly towards the enemy.

"Listen up, our task is to make them busy... Evade and fire back, fire back even if you have no target to lock on," he then looked to Lucas, "fire at anything around, but make sure to not shoot our people."

"Got it, mighty king!"

"Since when did you call me that?!!"

"We are battling in the universe, something suiting a mighty king like you," Lucas seemed to totally believe that. And Hye didn't argue with him.

There was no time to say anything as the ships lying up ahead opened fire the moment they moved. "Quite impatient aren't you? Evade and make sure to deplete their ammunition first," he said to other ships following him, "deal with this as you dealt with the meteorite."

He was right indeed. Even if the missiles and rocks launched from these ships were numerous, they were like the falling meteorites.

Hye selected a group of fifty ships only. It wasn't a big force to threaten anyone, but it seemed all the ships waiting for them out there were quite distressed and nervous about them.
