Meanwhile, Arwa was also very puzzled of the same problem.
He did manage to break free from the siege of the monsters with his 200 pilots who were certainly the top 200 he could ever imagine commanding. They encountered a few unaccompanied red-tailed beasts on their way but none of these beasts imposed an issue as they would strike the beasts down before anything else. There were tiny flock of wandering spaceships that witnessed the scene and decided to join them without hesitation. As the knightly mighty army of Arwa struck down more beasts, there seemed to be more spaceships tailing them as well...
It should not go out of hand this fast under normal circumstance but it was that one slip of tongue of Arwa's man that reacted vigorously among the wandering spaceships from all corners. ”My lord Arwa, he... uh.. opps...”
It was as if there was a light of hope when the spaceships realized the owner of the leading spaceship was no one other than the greatest strategist, Arwa himself. The fleet was growing rapidly, which could be a little issue for Arwa.
But can I just abandon these folks? No... If I do... my name would be...
If I took them? I don't think I could protect all of them, we are slowing down too...
Arwa was facing a dilemma.
The young mistress had not recovered from the last shock, her eyes were soulless and that was something to worry.
...(Meanwhile)...
”Are you sure?” said Ye Chong, bewildered as his eyes set upon the list of supplies in his hand. He could not perceive the motive of Shang's decision.
”I just got a really bad news,” said Shang slowly, ”The pathway to He Yue galaxy has already been engulfed by the red-tailed beasts. Although I still could not identify from where they came, I highly suspect these were the red-tailed beasts from He Yue galaxy itself.”
”He Yue's own variation?” flinched Ye Chong.
”Mhm,” Shang responded grimly, ”I had simulated several calculations yet there is no plausible way that the red-tailed beasts could reach the pathway when they were far behind us. So where did these beasts come from? The first possibility is that they had infiltrated in small batches since the time before; The second... the pathway had received severe attacks from the galaxy itself. The second seems more probable by the way.”
Ye Chong nodded, as he remembered the few red spots on Ye Luo's intergalactic layout. In an approving tone he replied, ”There are several potential spawning locations of the red-tailed beasts in He Yue. So it is indeed likelier for the second assumption.”
”Thus my current proposition would be to sail slowly. We would make use of the time to reform our force, so that we could at least attempt to force our way in even if no opening could be found when we arrived,” said Shang proudly.
”Force?” Ye Chong gave a raise of brows as he waved the list in his hand, ”By force, you meant them?” Haskel had been followed by over 300 spaceships. It was already a gigantic fleet. Even if they pretended each ship was carrying passengers of a mere number of 300, they would have achieved 100,000 easily with this fleet.
”Well, the likelihood of us returning to He Yue galaxy is pretty low, at least in short terms. So I believed it would be better if we have a paradigm shift. We could make use of the force we have. You might think it mostly consists of citizens who could hardly hurt a fly, but I must remind you to not look down upon them. There could be talents hidden among them. To craft diamonds one must always start from the filthy ores. We have ample time to train a batch of pilots. These citizens should have sufficient foundation to be trained. So our only problem would be time. As long as we did not come into a large flock of red-tails beasts, then we would be spared on time. And we would no longer have nothing in our hands. We can go anywhere we want once we got the strength. And so, we fight. We would fight.”
Ye Chong was astounded of this strange sensation in his mind. He seemingly was no longer speaking to a handicapped artificial indulgence. It was as if he was speaking to a hero, one with ambition, a wild ambition and intrepid wishes.
Could this be Shang in the past? Is this how he once was?
”Jajaja~ Ye, good news. Mu has permitted my plan. So I'll be staying on manifestation till we got back to He Yue galaxy, unless something happened which is unlikely under my intelligence.” Shang did not seem to notice Ye Chong's expression.
”Shang, how did you come to this plan?” asked Ye Chong.
”HAH!” The artificial indulgence was proud, ”Told you to watch more movies! Yet every time you turned a deaf ear to my advice! It took me a long time to formulate this master plan with reference to 180 well-known film productions of the mafia genre as well as the heroes making histories. See? You were impressed by my idea too. Were you not? Hahahahahahaha!”
Ye Chong felt a strong nostalgia filling his heart upon hearing the uncontrolled laugh of this artificial indulgence.
He is still the Shang I knew.
