Chapter 442: It's Coming!
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The three aristocrats did take prompt actions in fact, as Ye Chong detected a few suspicious mechs wandering within his vicinity from time to time. Those were very sneaky mechs that had been only observing the Collisions moving in the area the whole time. No action was already taken thus far but Ye Chong was informed of their existence.
Facing an unknown force from the corner of the galaxy, the three aristocrats decided to tackle it with great caution under a tricky period like this.
These mechs were already a distraction to Ye Chong. The rate of spatial instability was ticking fast and Ye Chong simply did not have the time to entertain these uninvited guests.
Sang's reinforcement did not seem to be arriving soon. Once the spatial anomaly occurred, the reinforcement would be stuck at the Calamitous Asteroid Belt and failed to reach Ye Chong's site.
The entire Planet Yi Ju was on high alert, ready to battle anytime.
And that was when one last plot twist was added to their script, as a few blurry visuals were spread in the network...
There were a few threads created with the following titles:
”A Mysterious Force on Planet Yi Ju!”
”Stronger than the Stronghold, Mission: Unknown!”
”Strange Skeleton Aircraft's Higher than the Sky, said experts.”
”Who are They? What do They Want?”
”Friend or Foe? Aliens on Yi Ju!”
Speculations about Ye Chong's property and his army flooded the Virtual World board. Photos were clearly taken from afar, as the clarity was horrible. But it was also such horrible clarity that further enhanced the mystery brewing on Planet Yi Ju. The reformation in the three aristocrats was then having their attention shifted upon this mysterious planet activity.
All sorts of stories were on the board rapider than Little Rock's fingers busy tapping the keyboards trying to eliminate those posts. It only took a few moments before the news got to the station. Several talk shows were hosted regarding the controversy on some of the most popular news channels.
”Hello and welcome back to Galactic Whisperer. I'm your host and today we have a very special guest, known as the specialist ahead of the time, Mr. Uda. So, Mr. Uda, what's your view on the mysterious force that had engulfed Planet Yi Ju recently?” asked the host.
”Uhh...,” replied Uda carefully, ”We have yet to receive sufficient information regarding the force that had been active recently. I can't really name the possible kind of organization the force associates with...”
”There have been rumors claiming that they are the pirates, do you agree?”
”Impossible!” Uda shook firmly, ”This is obviously a baseless speculation. It's clear from those pictures available on the Virtual World. We could see a well-disciplined army that carries out tasks systematically in the organization. To be honest, I personally think that this force is pretty close to the ace pilot squads of all three aristocrats in terms of standards. So they can't be pirates, especially when they have a standardized equipment, which it would be impossible for a group of mere burglars to achieve.”
”Such insightful analysis, as expected from Mr. Uda! As mentioned by our commentator, the organization sure is strong, which debunks the speculation that they are merely pirates. Still, people are confused, Mr. Uda, regarding the reason why anybody would pick a place with such horrible environment like Planet Yi Ju as a military base for training. As far as we could discern from these shots, the army not only is stationed at Planet Yi Ju itself but also had formulated a strong defense system on the planet. So, why and how, Mr. Uda?”
”Umm...” Uda did not seem really confident at this, ”I do have the same question as everybody else. Planet Yi Ju has substandard productivity while its land resources are poor. Its location is rather dangerous as it was close to the Calamitous Asteroid Belt, far from the developed area with bad transportation. Every aspect is so poor that a sane person would never consider investing materials to build a base here. However, according to what we have found, apparently a group known as the Papatte pilot squad had appeared on this planet a few years ago. So I would believe that they have their own reasons to be there. Regarding why they built the defense grid, it should be related to their main goal I suppose.” Such language skill of squeezing out an empty comment...
”So, Mr. Uda, do you think there might be a type of association or two between the defensive behavior of the force and the recently initiated reformation among the three Aristocats?”
”There might be,” said Uda.
