Hye's mind suddenly froze, turned to look at the last report he got about the Selvator fleet and their hostile actions. "It seems this battle wasn't the first, more must have happened but we didn't get any report about that…"
He didn't know how the Selvators did it, but now he knew what he needed to do. "Trying to find a clue here isn't going to work. I need to deploy my eyes around, and look for their traces… But… Why?!"
This was the main point he still didn't get. When he first had doubts about the entire thing, his mind shifted over the Hescos race, and that was the most logical conclusion.
The Selvators were a big race in the universe, but they weren't that big to clash against one of the big three. And doing something on such a large scale was quite incredible indeed, however this was in case they didn't show up.
Setting such a huge trap was ideal if they kept themselves in the dark. There wasn't a single lead to them, and no one would even doubt someone like them pulling such a feat.
And yet here they were, doing something behind the scenes and preparing for something big in Hye's eyes. "They must have another goal other than framing and trapping the big forces together… Tsk! It would have been way better if they stayed away, would have clapped for them…"
His thoughts shifted towards the real goal behind doing all this. "If it isn't to frame and entrap everyone against each other, then there is only one thing remaining… The caravan itself!"
He returned to go through the reports again, and this time he tried to sort out everything related to the caravan and what it carried. He didn't lack such intel, and yet there wasn't anything clear or concrete about all that.
Yet he learnt from his lesson and decided to make sure he didn't miss anything, even a slightest hint, about what was inside that caravan.
"There ain't a single clue," after hours, he decided to give up looking at these reports, "it's all useless… It's like someone is toying with everyone… How come not a single clue about what's inside the caravan being leaked already? Can't believe that!"
The first thing he did was to ask the pirate king and the lymph lady to dig deeper about any news of the true nature of this caravan and its cargo. At the same time, he asked them to get ready to move out, but didn't say anything in detail to any of them.
It wasn't an issue of trust, but he wanted them to remain ready as his back up forces. He intended to use his own warriors and ships on this mission, and there was a great risk of losing much while doing so.
"It's better to let them jump in if things went wrong," Hye knew his relations with Selvators weren't the best. He kept hammering their forces back when he was on Earth, and they must have held a deep grudge against him for that.
Just from the grand machination here he could tell how serious these folks were about dealing with their enemies. But that didn't stop him for even a second from executing his plan.
"My pirate fleet will use the other universe's ships, and my fleet will use this universe's ships. This way, no one could link me to the pirate fleet…"
He came here out of curiosity about who was behind this trap. He also wanted to get out and have some fun as things were quite boring back at the area he controlled.
This reminded him of the time he spent on Earth after the end of the apocalypse trial. He was very bored back then, as building and waiting weren't his strongest virtues.
But now he wanted to know what was in that caravan that pushed the Selvators to such a higher stage of power. They weren't weak, but going against the top forces in the universe in such a way was quite weird.
"I'll see what you want, and if I like it, I'll take it," he evilly smirked while standing out in the space. He took out lots of small and fast ships, loaded them with his warriors before sending them out to scout the grand space around the caravan.
"I can't rely solely on their feedback, something tells me it'll be quite challenging for them to do so," he made the leader of every single ship open a video feed with him.
If it was just a couple dozen of them, he'd be able to handle it. But trying to follow thousands of them was an impossible task. "I'll record their feeds, and whenever any turns black I'll just go back and rewatch what happened," this was the only way he thought of to do this.
"Now it's time for me to better station myself…" he sent out his ships, but the space they'd cover was incredibly huge. Even if he spotted the place of the hidden Selvators forces, he'd take a long time to get there, which would waste the chance on him.
Instead it was way better to guess a few places that could have the Selvator fleets and move closer to them. But even guessing that was quite hard for him.
"Tsk! If only I had noticed this intel quite fast, I'd have sent my forces earlier to track them down and it'd be easier to guess…"
He stood in front of a grand map, which covered a few sectors. This was currently the place the Toranks caravan and all the fleets eyeing it were situated.
"If I don't have any intel regarding the Selvators, then I shall focus on the travel path of the Toranks caravan…"
He thought of guessing the future spots the Selvator fleets would station at according to the future paths of the Toranks caravan. It wasn't the best way to do it, but at least he got a lot of intel speaking about a great deal of the Toranks caravan path. On top of that, there was also the intel regarding the place of the expected grand battle.
