Chapter 844: 900, a long journey of ten thousand miles
At midnight, the high-ranking Cultivators and players boarded the troop ships at Yunlu Mountain and Yan Mountain regions one after another.
At 00:05, two troop ships took off simultaneously from the two bases, heading towards the Alps mountain range.
Prime Minister Cao Cao boarded the troop ship from Yunlu Mountain.
Su Yu, Morning Star, Alyssa, and others boarded the ship from Yan Mountain.
Once the two troop ships had left the base, the Cultivator players on board, under the leadership of Prime Minister Cao Cao and Su Yu, cast cloaking spells to completely shield all external information about the ships.
This way, the Skrull satellites could not detect their movements.
The two troop ships sped westward in the night, rapidly advancing towards Europe.
…
However, what the Blue Star Cultivators didn’t know was that despite having shielded all information from their troop ships, the Skrull people had been made aware of their movements.
This was mainly because there were so many Cultivators and players gathered that it was very normal for one or two to be swayed by the Skrulls, traitors who sought to betray humanity to ensure their own survival.
At their departure, which was at 00:05, Langqi, the commander-in-chief of the Skrull expeditionary force, had already received a message from the traitor.
Upon learning that the Blue Star Cultivators were aiming to attack the Spring Eye at Mount Alps, Langqi was greatly shocked and hurriedly conveyed the news to Emperor Manina and the god-level peak powerhouse, Pu Langte.
The Skrull people quickly mobilized, ready to confront the Blue Star Cultivators’ impending assault.
…
“Langqi, how far are the Blue Star Cultivators from Spring Eye 0008?” At 00:10, Emperor Manina asked Langqi seriously in the communication feed.
“Your Majesty, they are still over 8,000 kilometers from the Spring Eye,” Langqi replied after checking the data sent back from Blue Star.
However, he added, “Your Majesty, the Blue Star Humans are riding on the RT-053 model troop ships from the Lunkete alliance. These two ships can fly at a maximum speed of ten times the speed of sound, meaning they will reach Spring Eye 0008 in an hour.”
“RT-053?” Manina was taken aback: “Isn’t that the latest model of transport ship from the Lunkete?”
“Indeed it is.”
“What the hell are those Lunkete people doing?!” Manina erupted: “How could their latest model of ship fall into the hands of Blue Star People?”
“That… I’m not sure,” Langqi said with his head bowed: “This is the first time the Blue Star Humans have used this type of ship; it could be spoils of war they took back from our planet during their last visit.”
Manina waved his hand in frustration: “Forget it, this is not your fault. Those Lunkete people really are shamefully incompetent!
Langqi, keep a close eye on the movements of the Blue Star People and timely inform His Excellency Pu Langte and our ancestors, so they can prepare early.”
“Understood!”
…
Back on Blue Star, the speed of the two troop ships was increased to maximum.
Since they were flying above the stratosphere and it was nighttime, the Cultivators could barely see any of the ground scenery, only feeling the unbelievably quick speed of the troop ships!
Inside the troop ship, Alyssa touched the wall of the vessel and exclaimed, “Is this the technology of Skru Star? It’s really impressive!”
The gaming world and Blue Star’s technology are centuries apart, yet I never imagined Blue Star’s tech would also be centuries behind Skru’s new technology.
If she didn’t have an understanding of both worlds, she would probably fail to comprehend the technology of the Skru Star.
“Indeed,” nodded Su Yu standing beside her, “that’s why, even though Blue Star has achieved much, I’ve never dared to underestimate the Skrull people. For with their technological might alone, they could easily match the current Blue Star Humans.”
Alyssa’s eyes gazed out the window, looking through the clouds at the fast-moving land below, and reflected, “If only our Golden Sunflower Empire could possess such technology someday.”
At those words, Tina, from behind, wrapped her arms around Alyssa’s waist and rested her chin on her shoulder, smiling, “Don’t worry, Jie Jie, we have lifespans of over a thousand years after all. We’ll certainly see the day.”
“That’s true,” Alyssa replied with a smile, nodding her head.
However, what neither of them noticed was the Cat Morning Star perched on Su Yu’s shoulder, who upon hearing the term “Jie Jie,” stiffened like she had been struck by lightning—the fur on her body bristling.
Noticing Morning Star’s unusual behavior, Su Yu curiously reached out to stroke her head and asked, “Morning Star, what’s wrong?”
Morning Star, however, paid no attention to Su Yu, instead she quickly flew in front of Alyssa and stared at her, “Alyssa, how come Tina can call you ‘Jie Jie’? That nickname used to be mine alone.”
“Ah? Is that a problem?” Alyssa was taken aback, “Lately, we’ve been traveling around the world together, and we’ve become very close. It’s fine to call me that, right?”
“But… that was my nickname to call you! I was first, why can Tina too? Su Yu, you agree, right?… Huh? Where did Su Yu go?”
Morning Star turned her head to enlist Su Yu’s support, hoping she’d back her up, but as she looked around, she realized Su Yu had vanished.
Su Yu had no desire to get mixed up in this affair, so the moment she sensed things going south, she immediately used the Flash Skill to escape.
In any case, it was better to avoid the immediate fallout and lay low for a while.
Coincidentally, the spot Su Yu appeared after using Flash Skill was right beside Mr. Li, at [The range is the truth].
Seeing Su Yu, Mr. Li’s eyes lit up and he immediately said, “Boss Ke, perfect timing, I was just looking for you!”
“What’s up?” Su Yu took a deep breath to calm himself.
Mr. Li picked up a piece of paper from the table next to him and handed it to Su Yu, speaking seriously, “According to satellite images Mr. Zhong (Zhong Feng) just sent, the Skrull people may have detected our movements.
In just the last ten or so minutes, there have been traces of High-Ranking Cultivators passing through Space Cracks at 6 out of the 19 major Spring Eyes controlled by the Skrull people.”
Su Yu took the paper from Mr. Li, his expression turning grave rapidly, “The Skrull people are on the move already? It seems we still have a traitor among us!”
The truth was their cover operations had been meticulous – they sent out the notice at 23:30, the plane took off at 00:05, and after leaving the base, they tried their best to conceal the troop carrier’s movements. Without a traitor, the Skrull people couldn’t possibly have responded so quickly.
Among the 272 Cultivators and players involved in this mission, there had to be a traitor.
This traitor had tipped off the Skrull people in advance so that they could react promptly.
“Boss Ke, should we try to root out this traitor now?” Mr. Li asked Su Yu in a low voice.
At the same time, his eyes scanned every Cultivator and player on the ship, as if trying to spot the traitor’s giveaway.
Su Yu gestured with his hand, commanding calmly, “Don’t rush it, let’s not stir up the snake. The traitor can’t do much under our watch. Once this is over, we’ll find a way to root him out!”
“Alright,” Mr. Li nodded.
