Chapter 1712 Are They Nuts?!!!
Hye didn't feel sorry about that, as he gained tons of ships, including even medium sized ones.
As for the big shots, they were all a prey to the nymph lady. She did indeed focus on taking them as loot, and didn't care about anything else actually.
The only drawback for this was that she couldn't loot more than one ship at a time. It took a long time to clear all the ships' fighters from their inventories, and most of the time she had to take the ship in, leave as fast as she could, as a large number of ships headed towards her direction.
At some point, the ships that were hunting Hye dispatched a group on the side to attack the nymph's lady's fleet when she'd come closer. But thanks to the presence of big ships in her fleet, she managed to crush all of them without getting much damage or affecting the entire operation.
"It's time for us to retreat," after fifteen hours from doing all this, Hye and the nymph lady both hit a solid hard wall, "I can't pass through! There are twenty big ships standing between the two of us!"
"I can see that," Hye wasn't feeling sad about leaving right now. He got enough to build many fleets, and all he needed to do was to retreat and train his warriors over these ships, "let's call it a day then. See you after passing through the meteorite shower."
As he gave the order, all the ships disengaged and ran towards the dead spot. The enemies of boths sides stood away, looking in disbelief towards the hurriedly flying ships towards that dead spot.
The sole question that rang in everyone watching this weird scene was if these weird enemies had loose screws in their minds or what to race like this towards that deadly area.
As they watched Hye's and the nymph lady's fleets race towards the meteorite shower area, the original fight between the two enemies resumed itself as if nothing happened so far.
Seeing this from the far front made Hye feel quite satisfied. "Next time I'll hit one and borrow the hand of the other," he muttered to himself, before his ship entered through the dead zone, got welcomed with tons of meteorites.
The journey back to the safe haven wasn't that safe, and ended up with losing more ships. But it was expected. Even if everyone were experienced at steering the ships, many didn't have enough experience to handle the scary shower of burning rocks.
Not to mention incidents did happen from time to time as well.
"What are we going to do now?" the nymph lady said while laughing.
"Something tells me you got something great from looting these big ships," Hye smiled, hinting towards the loot she got.
"Don't set your eyes over my sh*t! You'll only get ships and crystals, nothing more!"
"I'm satisfied with that," he bitterly said, "send these over, we need to start a big plan of training."
"Training? Are we going to train your warriors on how to fly these ships?"
"That's the only thing we can do right now," Hye shrugged, "we need to build a strong fleet this time, enough to let us control a piece of space out there."
"Do you want to have a base out there? That's fantastic! Don't tell me you want to conquer the entire world and kill both forces!"
"I'm not that delusional," Hye did indeed had high hopes and plans, but he also knew his limits. He was doing this great as he was just fighting at the border zone of this war. Not to mention both sides didn't yet launch their great vessels.
But he knew he couldn't keep doing this frequently, retreating to here and such. Or else this would get noticed, and the enemy might send fleets to scout this area.
He wasn't worried about facing them, but if a single ship managed to reach here, it'd spread the news. If that happened, then he'd kiss goodbye to this safe haven.
So he planned to establish a safe area for him out there, use it as his main base in that war. It wouldn't greatly affect the war, especially when he'd support this world's forces over the Hescos.
The deadliest weapon was that world destroying cannon he read about, and didn't want to even experience its hit even once.
"Listen up," he took out his entire fleet of ships. Be it small, medium, or large ones, he deployed everything. The entire space looked a bit crowded after he did so. And then he filled them with his warriors.
"We are going to train over how to fly these things, how to use the weapons installed there, and how to evade attacks by training in that meteorite shower area..."
He started to relay his orders to everyone to hear through the communication system. He noticed how well the warriors who trained on how to evade the meteorite did back at the battles back then.
"Let's start," as he explained everything in great detail, even showing them how to fly, make a few moves, and even went towards the area of meteorites many times, he ordered them to start.
"Lucas, lead them on how to fire," he knew Lucas and Soulers sucked at steering the ships. But when it came down to firing the weapons, they were insane, "also train your people on how to suit up, move in space, attack ships fast and clear all the enemies inside."
"Leave this to me, mighty king!"
"Don't forget, the shields of the big ships are a headache. Your people had to sacrifice a lot to get through these..."
"But we eventually did it, right?" Lucas acted a bit arrogant, but Hye knocked on his head.
"Just find a way to deal with these shields, got it?"
"Y... Yes, mighty king!"
He watched Lucas get out, starting to lead the forces to train.
"What are you going to do?" The nymph lady even got a job to do. She had a lot of loot to go through, and try to find something that could help them in the upcoming grand battle.
