Chapter 1035: Chapter 562, Where is the Alliance?_2

When the feeling of unease in his heart intensified to the point of extreme anxiety, he made a decision: to advance no further.

Just then, they were passing through a star system called ’Phantom Moon,’ which seemed quite a suitable place.

The main habitable world here is not a standalone planet but rather a satellite orbiting the largest gas giant of the star system, named Phantom Moon.

Firstly, Phantom Moon is a fairly developed place, with decent industrial capacity and a relatively complete orbital defense system established around it. Moreover, with the gas giant blocking one side, the attacking options for the aggressor become fairly limited.

Overall, Phantom Moon is a fairly decent defensive location that the Fury Fleet has found on their journey.

Politos decided to stay here with the entire fleet, not moving forward.

Meanwhile, he also contacted the Ark Fleet of the Sect of Mechanics, informing them of his decision and hoping that the Ark Fleet would join them soon.

The Alfonso Fleet quickly responded:

“Alright, remain on defense, we are about to reach the Bowang Star System, estimated to be six jumps away from your location, expected to arrive in 21 days.”

“No problem, we will definitely hold out for 21 days.”

Then, the Alfonso Ark Fleet sent their last communication signal to the Fury Fleet:

“Good luck to you all.”

…

After Boreson confirmed sending out the last message, he left the communication cabin and returned to the conference room.

Seven Principal Sages gathered on the mechanical ark ’Alfonso II.’

At this moment, Boreson’s true self was here.

Once the Ark Fleet entered the Proudclaw Cosmos, a sub-fleet headed to Heyang VIII.

They not only retrieved Boreson, the Principal Sage, but also took along a significant portion of the Heyang Knights from Heyang VIII.

These knights, whose homeland’s orbital defense systems were dismantled by the Alliance, harbored a certain animosity towards the Alliance. Having suffered, they hoped to personally give the Alliance a painful lesson in the coming war.

Upon seeing Boreson return, Sage Anton Dubo, the leader among the sages, spoke, “Have you appeased that battle group?”

“Yes.”

“Hehe, good.” Dubo said, “Soon, we will reap a deep friendship with two battle groups. War, too, has its advantages. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, how could it be so easy to make those proud Angels lower their heads?”

“Indeed, sir,” Boreson replied respectfully.

Though he and Anton Dubo are both Principal Sages, there are hierarchies even among Principal Sages.

He is about to be promoted to a true Great Sage level soon.

There are thirty-six Principal Sages in the Alfonso Sect and one Great Sage.

Great Sage Martin Valuk is the sect leader. Below him are the three Founding Generals who each control one of the Alfonso Founding Worlds. Though they are just Principal Sages, their status is considerably high.

Apart from these four, the leading figure among the remaining Principal Sages is Anton Dubo.

He is the absolute Hawk Faction within the Alfonso Sect, always being the most active in the cooperation between Alfonso and the Iron Armor Battle Group, and a strong advocate for the sect’s participation in the Iron Armor War.

He succeeded, and his status in the sect has risen as a result.

With the support of Humphrey Paolo, his status now seems to slightly surpass those of the three Founding Generals.

This time, as the Alfonso Sect formally enters the war, Dubo personally leads a powerful Ark Fleet southward to open up a new battlefield.

If he succeeds in annihilating the Alliance Fleet and taking control of the entire Proudclaw Cosmos, he could extend the sect’s sphere of influence further south to the Eastern Cosmos Domain, and he will surely be able to leap into the ranks of a Great Sage.

Even though this so-called Great Sage certainly wouldn’t be recognized by the Mars Headquarters of the Sect of Mechanics.

But what difference does it make?

In the future, it’s uncertain whether the main religion of the Sect of Mechanics will still be Mars.

Boreson has already decided to cling tightly to this influential figure.

Although he is also a Principal Sage, his ranking among the thirty-six is quite low.

If Dubo can soar to new heights, he could gain significant benefits from it as well.

Cautiously and earnestly reporting on matters concerning the Fury Fleet, he quietly took his seat to listen to the other sages’ reports.

After the Ark Fleet arrived in the Proudclaw Cosmos and joined forces with the Fury Fleet, incorporating the two battle groups was only the first step.

Important, but not crucial.

The most critical objective is to annihilate the Alliance Main Fleet.

But where is the Alliance Main Fleet?

Initially, it was presumed that they would seize the opportunity, before the Ark Fleet’s arrival, to seek and destroy Fury, preventing the two from merging and strengthening.

However, this presumed event hadn’t occurred at all.

The Alliance didn’t even go to attack Fury.

At least, apart from the Blood Shark perpetually trailing behind Fury, there were no signals from any Alliance ships.

Where did they go?

The Ark Fleet has been tirelessly employing various means to gather intelligence on the Alliance Fleet.

Expanding detection systems to several nearby star systems, constantly on guard; dispatched reconnaissance fleets explored multiple Star Sectors in the Proudclaw Cosmos over the past month, yet found no trace of the Alliance; the Star Language Tower aboard the Starship contacted over a hundred worlds still on their side, inquiring if there were any sightings of the Alliance Fleet movements, but obtained no valuable information either.

It seemed as if the Alliance Main Fleet had turned into ghosts after leaving Heyang VIII.

This instilled a slight sense of unease.

But not a strong one.

Because, there’s another hypothesis: Could the Alliance have fled?

Seeing the formidable formation of his fleet, knowing they absolutely stood no chance against them in the Proudclaw Cosmos, they might have simply abandoned the Star Domain which was never theirs and retreated southward.

This isn’t impossible.

Rather, it’s quite a rational decision.

After all, if they fled southward to the Shangdong Star in the Menghe Star Domain, relying on Shangdong’s fairly solid planetary defense system, blocking the sole passage from Proudclaw into the Eastern Cosmos Domain would be quite advantageous.
