After waiting for half an hour, he couldn't see any sign of progress between the different forces out there. They were acting cautious, but that wasn't enough.
If nothing happened, the Selvators would bombard the unprepared and weakened Toranks fleets. If other forces let that happen, then the caravan would fall into the Selvators hands. And by then, all silent Hescos would make a move, and no one would be able to stop them.
"I should do everything myself then," After waiting for half an hour, nothing new happened, "it's true, if you want to do something, do it yourself."
He opened the chat between him and the other two, [Listen up, you'll send a rally call for all the forces out there, invite everyone to join you. Only one will go on this mission, taking half of the fleet you have...]
Hye started to give tons of orders to the two. After so much time standing on the sidelines, they finally got something to do. But what Hye wanted looked a bit weird.
[Are you sure?]
[This way, we won't have a chance to secure the caravan!]
The two expressed their doubts, and Hye could only roll his eyes in response.
[Just do as I say] he sighed, [If not, then we have really zero chance in getting our hands on the caravan]
He knew the other two wouldn't get his point without explaining everything. But he didn't want to. He even doubted if he explained, they'd get to see the point and would still be focused on getting to the caravan without focusing on how to do this.
The Toranks was the number two race in the universe! They weren't in such high rank without a good reason. Hye was quite positive that they got something up their sleeves, something they wouldn't use until they'd be too cornered by everyone, with no way out.
That was why Hye wasn't worried about the greedy bastards in the forces he targeted. On top of that, he kept lady nymph away with enough ships and forces to be able to change any deadly situation if happened.
He wasn't sure if what the Toranks had would endanger the faraway forces or not. If the pirate king got threatened, he'd have to find a way to save his life. Not to mention the best outcome from all this was for most of these forces to survive this and live another day to tell the tale of the pirate king forces and what they did for everyone.
Hye wasn't just aiming to secure the caravan, he was also trying to pave the road for his underground force at the same time.
"Oho, this pirate king seems to know what he is doing!" After an hour, many reports started to flood on his screen. Hye saw what the pirate king did from these reports.
The old friends and even rivals the pirate king knew and interacted with before agreeing on his proposal. They all worked hard and fast, ending up arranging almost all the forces out there under a single banner.
The first sign of this appeared when the fleets that kept a distance from each other all this time started to merge and join one another. Hye saw this happening from the feedback on his screen and also in the reports.
"Twenty different big forces at least, interesting..." Hye noticed that the early big gatherings numbered up to twenty-three. That meant these were the big factions which would work under the pirate king, or perhaps work against him at some point, "let's see how they'll arrange their forces after joining him..."
Hye was also following the pirate king moves. The latter took half the ships and warriors, moving in a big fleet towards an area Hye picked before.
It was in the middle area between the incoming Selvators and the trying to run away Toranks. The travel alone would take a couple hours from the pirate king, much less than that for the forces trailing the caravan.
