Chapter 1708 Going Back To War
In the middle of this part, a few ships got hit and around twenty got totally destroyed. The destroyed ones were left, and the damaged ones were taken back by him.
He didn't lose that much, and in the end, his fleet got to experience a real taste of how the war out there was going.
This took around two days for his fleet to be ready. Two days wouldn't differ that much in the expected long-timed war happening right now.
"Listen up, we are going to cross the deadly zone of these meteorites. In there, everyone is for his own sake. Don't ask for help, don't give any advice to anyone, as no one is coming to help you. Just focus on yourselves, recall what you experienced already, and try to learn and evolve during the journey."
"Let's hope we'll survive till the end," the nymph lady was still bitter about doing this, still resisting the idea of going out.
If it was up to her, then she'd choose to remain seated here, not leaving such a haven anywhere else.
Hye didn't give the order to leave without setting a plan for their movement. He arranged the fleet into groups, each having one hundred small ships inside.

As for the big ones, he let them move in between the smaller ones. The only exception he gave to the small ship was to head towards any big ship if they couldn't handle it anymore.
"How much do you expect we'll lose?" as the early batch moved, the nymph lady said, "I expect eighty up to ninety-five percent."
"That's a bit hopeful, hahahaha," Hye mocked her pessimistic viewpoint, "we'll cross with less than ten percent losses, and I'll remind you of that."
"Tsk!"
The two were communicating using the general communication centre that her big spaceship established. From now on, her role would be as a communication anchor point, receiving intel and relaying them to others and Hye.
As the fleet started to move, Hye decided to move in the early batch. As for the nymph lady, she decided to be the last one to move.
"If you didn't show up, then forget about coming here after the war to get you out," he threatened before leaving, reading through the dirty trick she seriously considered, "you may be safe here, but you don't have enough food or water to sustain you longer than a few months."
"You'll come to save me, I know you will!"
"I swear I won't," he stressed over this point, "so don't risk it. I hope I'll see you on the other side, bye sweetie," he then moved towards the deadly zone of meteorites, losing far ranged communication thanks to all the radiation coming from the two stars.
Hye already explained to his fleet how to use the two opposing forces of the stars to help them move and evade the incoming meteorites. Just when he went out, he saw many of his small ships struggle, and yet none got destroyed.
"It's a regret they don't have my bones to repair their ships," Hye knew the badly damaged ones he'd have to collect once they crossed to the other side. As for repairing them, he'd do this himself using his bones at some point.
Distracting himself from watching his fleet struggle against gravity, radiation, and meteorites, he decided to think about the expected great loot he'd gain after joining the war.
He knew the heat he attracted over himself must have gone after his absence for days. But the sudden appearance of such a small gathering of ships would definitely attract many eyes.
"I shall use this place as a deterrent for anyone trying to crush my fleet," he knew he could handle a small number of enemies. But if a grand gathering came towards him, led by any big ships, then things would end up very terribly.
Hye didn't want to have his back against a hard wall. He knew the big ships and guns wouldn't target him until he'd hijacked lots of ships. By then, he'd have a bigger force than now, something that any of the fighting enemies out there wouldn't allow to happen.
So he thought of something to fight against such a situation, and the place in the middle of the two stars was suitable for that. Even if the enemy persisted and chased him inside, he'd go towards the safe haven, showing them a hard time and killing lots of their fleet.
If they were stubborn enough to follow him toward the safe spot, then he'd not be in any grave danger. By then, he'd got most of his fleet intact, and they'd have much less than what they initially had.
"Fighting the two sides at once and turning them into my enemies isn't wise…" he thought about this point. If he turned the two fighting forces into his enemies, then things would end quite badly for him. It was better to turn one into his ally, helping in shielding more pressure off him.
Doing so would make the other side think wrongly that he belonged to the force he didn't hit. And that might not stop the disastrous assault he'd suffer later on, but it'd help in making his presumed allies suffer with him.
As for which side to be his ally and his enemy, this wasn't hard to decide. The Hescos were his enemies no matter how he tried to act nicely with them. Not to mention he was sure, a force like them, on the calibre of a great empire, had much higher and more advanced ships than the forces of this world.
Even if they were famous merchants, they were nothing like the mighty Hescos.
"I won't let you go off with this without paying me back!" All of sudden, he heard the enraged voice of the nymph lady coming into the communication system of the ship, distracting him from his thoughts.
"Hahahaha, you came, and quite early as well! Hahahaha!"
Chapter 1709 The Mighty King Title!
Hye laughed over her, then looked around and spotted a behemoth coming from a far spot.
It wasn't that far, but it was moving quite slow. Without the need to ask, he could tell the shields were strong enough to stop any incoming meteorite shower heading towards the giant ship.
"Told you, the shield system is perfect in these ships, hahahaha!"
"Don't laugh! I had to let everyone on board exert all of their power to keep the shields in such a state!"
"Is that so? Don't forget to relay such news to others, to let them do the same," he missed the point of her not having his bones, not able to use them the same way he used them.
"I'm burning my assets, my precious inventory of high energy materials just to make the ship run and endure the attacks! You'll have to compensate me for this…"
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "Don't whine over this, you already gained tons of stuff from back then," Hye paused, referring in his words to the loot spree the two started back on the world, "and in the upcoming war, you can jump with other warriors, gather up the loot of the dead there."
"They need to get killed first!"
"That's why your ship and others are filled with Soulers and Reapers," William paused, "these two are strong enough to kill anything!"
"Let's hope so… Wait a minute… Does that mean you'll let me have any loot I want?"
"Aside from any ships and crystals, that's a given," he knew the newly acquired villainous side of her was now stirring her up, filling her with adrenaline and greed.
"Great! I will hold you accountable if you ask for anything later on, hahahaha! I love you, hahahaha!" As a little girl happy for a new dress, she changed her viewpoint and attitude for one hundred and eighty degrees the moment he told her that. And he couldn't help but helplessly sigh, while focusing on steering his ship to evade the incoming meteorites.
He was now surer than ever that after all this, she'd turn sides and be one of the smugglers and outlaws in the universe!
Hye focused on steering the ship, while the attacks he suffered grew intense. He didn't know why but he felt like the shower coming at him didn't decrease in amount or intensity as he expected.
He thought by bringing such a large number of ships with him, many would shield the incoming shower. The ones destroyed would help others to evade the incoming deadly attacks. But the truth was a bit different, much different than that.
The nightmare ended in around six hours. The moment he went outside, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw the number of ships waiting for him outside.
"Almost ten percent got damaged, not bad," he predicted, and was glad that his comment back then hit the mark.
Yet the more ships appeared, the more he became excited. "Only six percent was lost… That's amazing!" The nymph lady was the one to comment on that, but there was no time to celebrate such a thing.
Hye already deployed the medium sized spaceships around while waiting for the rest of his fleet to cross the meteorite belt zone. And when the number of ships increased, many eyes were attracted to it.
"We have to arrange ourselves for the upcoming battle," as they were too close from the dead zone, no one ever dared to try them out. But that didn't mean they weren't surrounded! The two sides sent many ships to block their path into the war, gathering up a large number of ships, enough to build ten fleets the same size as his.
"We jumped from the frying pan to the fire," she paused before adding, "at least we got a stop in the middle to catch our breaths and get ready. Tell me, champ, how do you plan to crush them?"
"Well…" Hye knew he lacked a ton if it came up to how battles were done in the universe, "let me lead a small part of the fleet out there and see what will happen."
"Are you sure?" She was surprised by this, but what he said next made her laugh.
"After we attract their attention, you lead the rest. Open fire when the target get in range, and for those who are trying to run away and very close to you, send the Soulers and Reapers out to hunt them."
"Hahahaha! That totally suits the actions of an outlaw, hahahaha!"
"Just make sure to move at the right moment," Hye stressed over this, ignoring the useless remark of hers, "moving too early or a bit late will ruin everything."
"Count on me, hahahaha! I like this plan a lot, hahahaha!"
He ignored her and selected a few of the ships around. He didn't know who did better than others, but limited his selection to the ships which came out unscathed from the meteorite belt.
Then he led them directly towards the enemy.
"Listen up, our task is to make them busy… Evade and fire back, fire back even if you have no target to lock on," he then looked to Lucas, "fire at anything around, but make sure to not shoot our people."
"Got it, mighty king!"
"Since when did you call me that?!!"
"We are battling in the universe, something suiting a mighty king like you," Lucas seemed to totally believe that. And Hye didn't argue with him.
There was no time to say anything as the ships lying up ahead opened fire the moment they moved. "Quite impatient aren't you? Evade and make sure to deplete their ammunition first," he said to other ships following him, "deal with this as you dealt with the meteorite."
He was right indeed. Even if the missiles and rocks launched from these ships were numerous, they were like the falling meteorites.
Hye selected a group of fifty ships only. It wasn't a big force to threaten anyone, but it seemed all the ships waiting for them out there were quite distressed and nervous about them.
Chapter 1710 A Space Pirate!
As the fire came from the other side first, Hye made sure his side would remain calm and collected. He didn't give them the order to open fire until they came close enough.
The enemy thought they were just scared to open fire, and that made them fire more. They wanted to take them down, but for a reason, no matter how hard they tried, not a single ship got hit!
They didn't know these ships went through much heated hell. Meteorites were much more ferocious and denser than these hits launched at Hye's ships. Not to mention any meteorite shower would come in a scary gathering, enough to make anyone desperate.
So dealing with these shots was easy for them. Hye watched his ships' performance for a little bit, before knowing they were going to shock the enemy once they opened fire.
"Attack back, now!" when they got close enough, he gave the order, "hit the ships around, then the ones far away. Release the soulers you have over the ones stuck in between, let's grab few of them to our side…"
Hye grew greedy at the last moments when he saw how the enemy ships got stacked close to each other, not giving themselves any room for manoeuvre.
The biggest ships here were only medium sized ones. And they weren't that deadly for him or his ships. So he wanted to take these down, using even the few Soulers he left in every ship.
In the next moment, the dense wave of counter attack landed, damaging and destroying lots of enemy ships around. This came as a terrifying surprise to all the ships flying around, and they tried to run away, but it was too late.
"Attack the rear ones, attack till the fullest range of your weapons…" Hye gave his little fleet two minutes to kill and destroy anything around, before shifting gears and focusing over the far away ones, "release the Soulers, release the beasts!"

And then each ship threw away ten soulers each. This might look like a small force, but when they got to the enemy ships, they passed through their outer bodies like they were made of soap bubbles or something.
Then a massacre appeared!
They attacked the ships stuck between the debris of the damaged ships hit by Hye's little fleet. Hye was literally standing on his toes to wait for the responses of these Soulers.
"We are in!"
"We controlled a ship, mighty king!"
"We ruled over here, mighty king!"
One by one, many started to speak, and Hye couldn't believe the nickname Lucas casually mentioned spread like wildfire. He didn't hesitate to issue another order: "abandon these ships, go towards others around, clear as many as you can…"
And then he ordered them to open the hatches to these ships, before he went out personally and started to move towards these loot.
In mere minutes, he gained around twenty new small ships without the need to spend a single bone for them! And just as he deployed his warriors there, adding new Soulers, the Soulers outside cleared fifty more!
"It's a feast! It's a feast! Let me come in, let me take a share of the prize, hahahaha!" just when he returned back, he heard the nymph lady's laughs and words.
"Stop fooling around, you just watch and learn," he rolled his eyes, before turning his focus outside. He deployed more Soulers in each ship, ordered them to suit up and leave to attack more ships. And when that happened, he had around a thousand Soulers working out there, adding hundreds of small ships to him.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Then the hunt ended when there wasn't a single ship to claim. The rest were either exploding silently with fire, or got damaged and turned into useless scraps of metal.
"Wait for an expansion," Hye noticed that many hostile ships were coming from all directions, "I'm going to arm up the ships we already controlled. Make sure to return and wait inside the ships!"
He moved and refilled the emptied new ships with his warriors. He didn't add any more Soulers, leaving them to fill the remaining ships.
When he returned back, his little fleet that started with fifty ended up with more than ten fold that number!
"I want to join, I want to fight!" The nymph lady kept shouting excitedly from far away, wanting to take a piece of this grand pie.
"Just wait a little longer," Hye paused, "I'm going to make a bigger scene then you'll join, get ready… try to move the ships like I said, you have five minutes… Let's roll after that!"
Hye led the new fleet towards the incoming enemies, "let's do it like before, evade the open fire when I give the mark!"
The incoming ships didn't learn from the previous lesson, opened fire even before his fleet would get into their range. Then another round of evasion occurred, one that made him laugh.
The fleet lost a few ships this time, as the newly added crew weren't that versatile in evasion. He expected such a result, and wasn't feeling any bad towards this.
He had no time to train enough warriors to evade the incoming attacks! He got lucky enough to train many of how to steer the ships back then. Yet when he saw how grand this chance was, he regretted not training more.
"I'll just store these ships," he decided to do this from now on, wait for a chance to retreat back towards that safe haven in between the two stars, and start a wide spree mission of training.
Then it hit him! "Why won't I leave some there? Let them train? Won't it be like the training grounds I established before on the second Earth world? This is brilliant!"
He decided to do this next time he got time to break free from this battle. But now he focused on the heated evasion battle going on right now.
"Open fire!' the moment the hostile ships got in range, he released the order, "attack the close ones, then the far away ones after two minutes…"
Chapter 1711 B*Tch!
Hye spread orders, and then his fleet did as he said. Luckily attacking wasn't that hard as steering the ships. And in less than half an hour, he was on another spree to hijack more spaceships.
Before he'd move, he gave the order to the lady nymph, "it's showtime sweet princess, go all out and show me how you'll do it," he paused for a moment there before reminding her of the deal the two had, "you'll give me crystals and ships, the rest is yours to take."
"Hahahaha, great! I'm going to f*ck them up, hahahaha!"
"Don't try to fill any ship with warriors or anyone. We don't have enough skilled pilots, right?"
"Sure, I'm after inventories and treasures there, not the ships. Take them, take them all, hahahaha!"
"Collect them for me!" he shouted but she was already impatient to move out. As he watched the distant streams of lights coming towards here, he knew she was going to join the battle.
"Hopefully she'll collect them," he shook his head before going out. He started to collect the loot, while his fleet was still opening fire at the far away targets.
This time the enemy didn't give him any time to breathe. They watched what he did before, and realised that he was a space pirate, trying to grab all the ships and kill those onboard.

At this stage of war, he didn't care about fighting a side against the other. It was his chance to strengthen his fleet, and survive the assault both sides prepared beforehand.
Later on he'd retreat, train more warriors, before coming here and do what he intended from before.
Both slides underestimated Hye. He didn't need much time to take the ships cleared by his Soulers. The time needed to just touch the ships and suck them into his inventory was much less than the time needed to go inside, refill them with his warriors, before jumping out and visiting more ships.
In just half an hour, he gained and collected many ships. They were small ones, but he was quite satisfied with that. The enemy was focusing on his fleet until the nymph lady joined the fight.
When she appeared, she landed over the enemies like an unstoppable avalanche. She got much more ships than him, and she came from outside, attacking the unprepared enemies.
As the initial clash ended up in destroying many spaceships, she spread out her fleet, mimicking what he was doing, before going out and collecting the loot.
She didn't focus just over the ships, but also on the dead bodies of those who were inside them. This made her spend more time in collecting the loot, and soon enough the enemy started to arrange their fleets, sending more towards her direction.
"I hope she knows what she is doing," when Hye saw the incoming large fleets of spaceships towards her direction, he couldn't help but turn and hoped she was aware of what was coming towards her.
"Retreat!" The moment the enemy fleets came close, she returned back to her big ship, and ordered a full out retreat. She hurried towards the spot she moved from, a place that not a single enemy would dare to come close from.
"B*tch!" The moment Hye saw her drawing back, he knew what she wanted to do. She wanted to leave him behind, and all these fleets would turn around and come towards his direction.
Seeing this made him hurry back to his small ship, "why did you do that?" he couldn't help but shout in the central communication system, while steering his ship to move as fast as possible, evading the incoming disaster.
"You said yourself, you'll keep them busy and I'll handle them from the side,"' she had zero guilt or regret, making him feel a bit speechless. He even was this close from messing up a sharp turn he planned to do to evade incoming dense waves of fire.
"Stay ready then," he couldn't say anything but this, "once they are focused on me, hit them hard."
"There are twenty big ships there…"
"Don't tell me you are afraid!" he feared the worst, and so planned to retreat as well if he needed to.
"I want to loot everything from them, hahahaha," she acted totally the opposite of what he expected, "just make sure they are too deep into you before I'll come."
"That means totally bad if taken in another contest," he muttered while returning to focus on the ongoing battle. He knew she had a point there, these ships must be filled with tons of forces and riches.
For a moment there he grew interested in looting these ships' forces from their inventories. He was quite sure he'd reap tons of things, but it wasn't safe right now to do it.
"Better to just stick to the initial plan," he sighed before giving his orders to everyone, letting them move fast, firing without aim, and making sure they were drifting towards one direction, away from the place of the nymph lady's fleet.
"We need more ships!" The moment she joined the battle again, she managed to deal a good blow to the fleets chasing Hye. The latter knew what she said was true, but he didn't want to retreat just now.
"We can do it for more rounds, then retreat," he wanted to take more ships, as with them he'd create a much bigger fleet, "make sure to aim towards the big ones first, take them into your inventory fast…"
"Don't teach me how to reap my oot," she shouted back, seemingly quite interested in what she was doing. She considered herself a master, didn't know she learnt all this from him in the first place.
The battle continued at such a tempo for long hours. She retreated the moment she smelled danger, and Hye had to endure the heat with his fleet.
Slowly his fleet started to lose many ships, ending up with half of what he had after adding the first batch of loot to his fleet.
Chapter 1712 Are They Nuts?!!!
Hye didn't feel sorry about that, as he gained tons of ships, including even medium sized ones.
As for the big shots, they were all a prey to the nymph lady. She did indeed focus on taking them as loot, and didn't care about anything else actually.
The only drawback for this was that she couldn't loot more than one ship at a time. It took a long time to clear all the ships' fighters from their inventories, and most of the time she had to take the ship in, leave as fast as she could, as a large number of ships headed towards her direction.
At some point, the ships that were hunting Hye dispatched a group on the side to attack the nymph's lady's fleet when she'd come closer. But thanks to the presence of big ships in her fleet, she managed to crush all of them without getting much damage or affecting the entire operation.
"It's time for us to retreat," after fifteen hours from doing all this, Hye and the nymph lady both hit a solid hard wall, "I can't pass through! There are twenty big ships standing between the two of us!"
"I can see that," Hye wasn't feeling sad about leaving right now. He got enough to build many fleets, and all he needed to do was to retreat and train his warriors over these ships, "let's call it a day then. See you after passing through the meteorite shower."
As he gave the order, all the ships disengaged and ran towards the dead spot. The enemies of boths sides stood away, looking in disbelief towards the hurriedly flying ships towards that dead spot.
The sole question that rang in everyone watching this weird scene was if these weird enemies had loose screws in their minds or what to race like this towards that deadly area.
As they watched Hye's and the nymph lady's fleets race towards the meteorite shower area, the original fight between the two enemies resumed itself as if nothing happened so far.
Seeing this from the far front made Hye feel quite satisfied. "Next time I'll hit one and borrow the hand of the other," he muttered to himself, before his ship entered through the dead zone, got welcomed with tons of meteorites.

The journey back to the safe haven wasn't that safe, and ended up with losing more ships. But it was expected. Even if everyone were experienced at steering the ships, many didn't have enough experience to handle the scary shower of burning rocks.
Not to mention incidents did happen from time to time as well.
"What are we going to do now?" the nymph lady said while laughing.
"Something tells me you got something great from looting these big ships," Hye smiled, hinting towards the loot she got.
"Don't set your eyes over my sh*t! You'll only get ships and crystals, nothing more!"
"I'm satisfied with that," he bitterly said, "send these over, we need to start a big plan of training."
"Training? Are we going to train your warriors on how to fly these ships?"
"That's the only thing we can do right now," Hye shrugged, "we need to build a strong fleet this time, enough to let us control a piece of space out there."
"Do you want to have a base out there? That's fantastic! Don't tell me you want to conquer the entire world and kill both forces!"
"I'm not that delusional," Hye did indeed had high hopes and plans, but he also knew his limits. He was doing this great as he was just fighting at the border zone of this war. Not to mention both sides didn't yet launch their great vessels.
But he knew he couldn't keep doing this frequently, retreating to here and such. Or else this would get noticed, and the enemy might send fleets to scout this area.
He wasn't worried about facing them, but if a single ship managed to reach here, it'd spread the news. If that happened, then he'd kiss goodbye to this safe haven.
So he planned to establish a safe area for him out there, use it as his main base in that war. It wouldn't greatly affect the war, especially when he'd support this world's forces over the Hescos.
The deadliest weapon was that world destroying cannon he read about, and didn't want to even experience its hit even once.
"Listen up," he took out his entire fleet of ships. Be it small, medium, or large ones, he deployed everything. The entire space looked a bit crowded after he did so. And then he filled them with his warriors.
"We are going to train over how to fly these things, how to use the weapons installed there, and how to evade attacks by training in that meteorite shower area…"
He started to relay his orders to everyone to hear through the communication system. He noticed how well the warriors who trained on how to evade the meteorite did back at the battles back then.
"Let's start," as he explained everything in great detail, even showing them how to fly, make a few moves, and even went towards the area of meteorites many times, he ordered them to start.
"Lucas, lead them on how to fire," he knew Lucas and Soulers sucked at steering the ships. But when it came down to firing the weapons, they were insane, "also train your people on how to suit up, move in space, attack ships fast and clear all the enemies inside."
"Leave this to me, mighty king!"
"Don't forget, the shields of the big ships are a headache. Your people had to sacrifice a lot to get through these…"
"But we eventually did it, right?" Lucas acted a bit arrogant, but Hye knocked on his head.
"Just find a way to deal with these shields, got it?"
"Y… Yes, mighty king!"
He watched Lucas get out, starting to lead the forces to train.
"What are you going to do?" The nymph lady even got a job to do. She had a lot of loot to go through, and try to find something that could help them in the upcoming grand battle.
Chapter 1713 Space Pirates!
She was the one who volunteered to do it. After all, killing more enemies would yield her more loot in the end.
"I'm going to wait…"
"Wait for what?"
"To add more warriors to train," William already used more than two thirds of the warriors he levelled up already. He wanted to wait for his Heart Crystal's trees to get ripe, harvest their crystals before levelling up a grand number of his warriors.
And then he'd train these. He wouldn't hurry and rush things up. He knew he'd gain tons of ships during the war, and it was better to have ready and well trained warriors by his side to make the best use of these.
Not to mention he had to select a few capable warriors and leave them here with few ships to train other warriors on them. Once he'd gain more crystal loot, or his Crystal Heart would yield another batch of harvest, he'd come back and level up part of them.

This way he'd never run short of capable warriors. And all he needed now was to just wait.
Watching his warriors train on how to fly the spaceships, evade the meteorites, and Soulers training on how to hijack and kill any spaceships' crew, he felt nostalgic about this.
"It's really great how I can do it here… But what would happen if I opened a portal from here to the second Earth world?" He knew that the world had a much faster time rate to the universe. But there were two main problems he had.
First he lacked enough spaceships to train others on. He had to amass tons of these ships before sending them over that world and starting such training sessions. And then there was the problem of the lack of suitable environment to train at.
The space outside the second Earth world wasn't stable, was very dangerous, and yet it was something that didn't resemble the current war ongoing here. He'd gain nothing but wasting his time, and having half assed good pilots of his ships.
But it would be much better than having ones with zero experience in flying ships. He decided to wait until he'd amass lots of ships, then try it out.
If it worked, then he'd gain a ton from the difference in time out there. But he didn't place much hope over great results from this training.
As he had much time, he decided to leave them training here under the lead of Lucas and the nymph lady, and went back to the main war stage. He didn't want to miss any chance to learn more about how these grand fleets fought in space.
The nymph lady called him crazy, but he didn't care or bother about her opinion. Yet the moment he arrived outside the meteorite belt, he found lots of ships waiting for him out there.
"They look serious this time, all this against a single vessel? Hahahaha!" He laughed in such a situation, and didn't feel any stress at all. He expected such a scene anyway, but the number of ships waiting for him was much more than what he expected.
"Should I go back or what?" he looked around, looking for any gap possible to leave from, but failed. There wasn't a single area not covered by these ships, "they are killing each other everywhere, and only united in front of my face? Screw them!"
He was about to turn around and head back when he spotted something. A strange fleet suddenly popped out of thin air, was all black, having an orange circle emblem over all the ship decks.
"Someone is trying to imitate my red hand mark?!!" Hye got stirred up by seeing this fleet, yet he wasn't truly thinking about them mimicking him. He knew such an idea wasn't new, and many fleets were already using it for aeons of years.
But what stirred him up was where that new fleet appeared, and what it did when landing there. This fleet appeared closeby from the tight encirclement around him. And the moment that fleet appeared, it froze in place for a few seconds, as if the crew inside got shocked by the grand party waiting for them.
Then they opened fire, and the rest of the ships fired back. In mere minutes, the entire zone turned into a brutal set of war, one that many ships were destroyed per second!
"I don't know who the hell are you, but thanks for the timely help," Hye evilly smirked, deciding to push forward instead of retreating. He felt like this fleet was sneaking their way towards here, using the fact that not a single ship would dare to come closer from this region.
Yet they were quite unlucky. Hye already turned this area into a very hot battleground. And that turned their supposedly sneaking attempt to fail drastically.
He didn't know that this fleet belonged to one of the big space pirates, one that was called the Orange Sun. and it was here just like Smiggy and other outlaws, wanting to fish for as many rewards as he could.
Unlike Smiggy, this space pirate intended to do it like how Hye wanted, attacking the fleets here and trying to reap great rewards with high risks.
The Orange Sun space pirate never expected his luck to be this bad. The moment he appeared with his grand fleet here, he was met with such a scary gathering of ships. He couldn't help but curse, curse the bad luck he had, curse the enemies who were supposed to fight each other and yet ended up allying here, and cursed the one who caused this to him.
"I got a mole, I got a f*king rat for sure…" he knew no one was aware of him coming here except for the ones who were close to him. He moved his eyes around, watching the faces he always trusted and couldn't help but have tons of doubt towards them.
Chapter 1714 Joining One Side Against The Other
But this wasn't the time to do such a thing. He instantly issued the order to open fire, kill the enemies around and pave a safe path for the fleet to run away.
Who knew the fleets stationed here responded in weird fierceness and rage! The two enemies who gathered here already reached a ceasefire agreement. And now they guessed the identity of the annoying ships that appeared from that dead zone.
They mistook Hye to work for the Orange Sun space pirate. Having space pirates here and even illegal scavengers wasn't a rare case in any war. So the spaceship's crew knew what to do, and they instantly opened fire back, hitting tons of the Orange Sun's fleet ships in the next few minutes.
Things escalated out of control, and the scale of this battle expanded fast. Hye used this chance and slipped through the tight encirclement that surrounded this area, finally having his chance to go away and watch from a far distance.
The battle was brutal, and he saw how it was common to see spaceships burn and get destroyed. Even the big spaceships got several big blows, ending up losing parts off their bodies alongside much of their crew.
Watching all this happening from the front seat was quite impressive, and yet very dangerous!

"Fire back, kill anything coming here, don't leave any ship alone!" Hye kept shouting as dense waves of ships were flying around, attacking his ship. He knew he had no time to watch the ongoing war with ease. So he kept looking around, while moving the ship at a dangerous speed.
He didn't know what he was doing, but those watching him saw remarkable twists and moves. He evaded tons of fire, while safeguarding his ship from getting ruined.
On many occasions, a dense wave of fire came towards him. Any inexperienced fighter would end up smashing his ship and losing it alongside his life. But Hye managed to pull through safely from each and every encounter he faced.
That was thanks to his old training of flying jets. Hye didn't care about the things he did, and mainly focused on killing more ships, evading more fire, and watching what was going on around.
The fight was indeed crazy, but Hye was glad he managed to break away from the tight encirclement of the enemies. Once he secured himself in a zone, he started to observe and look for the Hescos ships.
"Listen up," as he noticed the pattern which the Hescos ships had, he started to distribute his orders around, "you are going to use the targeting lock feature this time. Focus on the ships with black and golden ends, they are the ones belonging to the Hescos. And we'll start shooting them down. Try to avoid harming any other ship belonging to this world's forces, ok?"
He wanted to start implementing this strategy from now on. It was easy to guess how hard it'd be to take out his fleets from the safe haven to here without getting ambushed every single time.
So it was better to start tricking the Hescos, making them believe he was their enemies. As for the world's forces, they'd slowly believe he was one of their forces.
Like this, the enemies he'd expect in the end would be only Hescos, and they'd be busy fighting the world's forces next time. Per his orders, the Soulers controlling the weapons started to look for the ships he marked, and began shooting them down.
This was quite hard and very challenging at first. But after a few rounds, they started to get used to the lock down mechanism. Then it came down to differentiate between the two different forces, a task that took a few hours actually to get done.
During this time, Hye faced a tough time. As he asked his men to limit their firepower, both forces mistook this as a sign of him running low on ammo, or growing weak or exhausted his energy or something like that.
So it was expected for more enemies to show up, hitting his ship with everything they got. At the same time, there was the problem of not destroying many ships like before, ending up accumulating more of the enemies around, sticking to him like annoying flies.
Hye was tempted to shoot everyone and kill everything at many occasions, ending up dropping any thoughts about that eventually.
In addition to that, the world's forces didn't pick up the idea of Hye working on their side until a few hours later. They kept harassing him, coming in large numbers and tried to entrap him more than once.
If not for his great skill in flying the ship, he'd have ended up in a very tight spot. But in the end, the world's fleets started to evade him, and he got to deal only with Hescos.
"Having one behemoth on my side feels great!" Hye saw how it made all the difference to have the world's forces by his side. The Hescos wanted him dead, but they had to deal now with the world's fleets and ships.
The temporary ceasefire crumbled and fell down thanks to what he did. And from there, it was a fun hunt for him.
The moment he'd face grave danger, like pumping into a bigger sized ship or a large gathering of small ones, he'd instantly turn around and make a run for his life. He'd hide into the middle of the world's forces, ending up for the incoming enemies to get busy dealing with others.
He loved to stay on the side and hunt enemies from advantageous spots. It was impossible to do it before, but with the help of all these ships on his side, it was much easier than ever.
He wanted to go out, release his soulers there, hunt down ships and add them to his own collection. As he joined the world's side, he realised the Hescos did deserve their name and reputation as the top one force in the universe.
Chapter 1715 It's A Pirate! Let's Harass Him Then!
Their fleets were much more organised, and well-trained than the ones of this world. Not to mention there were many diverse types of spaceships in the Hescos fleet, with more capabilities like flying speed and firepower.
Yet Hye knew the ship he was using wasn't paling in comparison to the best small ships the Hescos had. As the fight was wild and crazy, all ships were moving too fast, making him unable to see anything in great detail.
If he did, he'd be surprised that many of the ships he marked as good were all like his. And if he knew that, he'd grow fanatic about hunting and hijacking them. And later on, when he'd learn about this, he'd deeply regret what he missed.
The situation kept going nicely for him, while the space pirate forces started to breathe. The moment the two forces returned to hunt each other down, the pirate ships started to pull distance, gather up, and form a large fleet.
Hye noticed this, as did tons of others. And yet no one dared to move against them as that pirate was cunning. He didn't move at once, but gathered and organised his forces near a zone, before ordering them to gather up and unite.
This made Hye open his chat with the nymph lady, and ask her about how the training was going.
[It's great! The fleet looks much better now than before!]
[Enough to go and join the war?] Hye looked at the pirate fleet before adding, "We have a new player on the table]
[Who?]
[Dunno] Hye looked again at the pirate ships and started to explain what happened to her. He also described how these ships looked, and then she instantly got what he meant.
[Wow! A space pirate is here? That's something cool!] She got hyped up, [We need to contact him, we need to do it asap!]
[For what?] he didn't get why she looked this excited about dealing with that space pirate. He now realised he pumped into another outlaw, someone who seemed to be working on a higher level than Smiggy.
[He has much more experience than us, and knows what to do, right?]
[Two thieves can't rob the same house, right?]
[Well… You mean he is going to hunt us down?]
[That's a given] Hye didn't want to ruin her sweet dreams, but he knew if he let her continue, she'd wake up in a nightmare, [Let's do our business on our own plans. And if you met his ships, don't open fire until they started it first]
[Do you mean…]
[Yes, bring it on babe, let's rock this area and rule it!] Hye laughed, [But leave behind enough warriors to train others, leave one hundred small ships, three medium-sized and one big one out there]
[Sure, wait for me, I'm coming, hahahaha! Our deal is still on, right?]
[What deal?] Hye acted ignorant, and she was on the verge of crying back there.
[I knew you were untrustworthy! Promising me something and not fulfilling it…]
[Hey hey, don't let your mouth run with such dangerous words] He had to stop her, [It's valid! Just come, I'm waiting for you here]
He closed the chat and focused again on the ongoing battle. As he was bringing his fleet here, it was better to start little trouble for that space pirate.
Hye didn't think about leading any ships towards that pirate as he hoped it was someone who could help. But it turned out it was a competitor, a fierce, dangerous, and pretty experienced foe on top of that!
But now everything has changed!
"Let's cut a few of your teeth before the competition starts," he evilly smirked, before leading his ships towards the front.
He wasn't a leader of any force here, but he grasped how to do it. All he needed to do was to go there, stir up trouble with that pirate's forces, and let them chase him with a few ships, before luring them here.
Doing this wasn't going to suffice, so he first did this with the Hescos forces first. Through this, he managed to drag the world's ships closer to the space pirate's fleet. Then started to do what he desired.
As he came upon the pirate fleet, they took him as one of those who were trying to test them. They responded the same, sending a detachment to take him down. But who knew this little ship was relatively fast and hard to hit.
Hye led them all the way toward where the world's fleets were. The pirate ships chasing him didn't feel it wrong until it was too late. And then lots of ships got destroyed.
After doing this a few more times, the space pirate ships became quite vigilant. They didn't follow him all the way toward the extensive fleet. And that made their losses stop at this point.
Hye didn't stop there though. As he saw them retreat, he returned to harass them one time after another. As he persisted, few fell into his trap and followed him out of rage.
They never returned, and that taught the pirates an important lesson. They stopped caring for Hye and focused on stopping other ships from coming to test them.
"Tsk! They are quite cautious," Hye muttered when he failed on luring any more ships, "but at least I took down many of their ships. It won't matter now, but later on, it will."
He knew he got something extra from this, he got marked by the pirates as a troublemaker. That meant they wouldn't persist in chasing him any time he'd come to harass.
And he decided to put on hold his actions until the nymph lady would bring the fleet over.
The fleet took five hours to arrive here. During this, Hye kept flying and fighting, learning more with every passing destroyed ship.
The more he watched, the more he inwardly sighed. "They are killing ships like taking down flies!" he lost count of how many ships got ruined or exploded, and how many more were added to the battlefield.
Chapter 1716 Trash Talk!
Yet Hye realised something. He never saw a fleet coming from far, all he saw was reinforcements appearing from closeby distances. "Don't tell me… There are tycoons with tons of ships out there!!!" This realisation drove his blood to boil. And when he tried to locate these ship holders, he couldn't help but notice something else.
"That pirate… He arranged and gathered up his fleet to be close to these rich folks… He laid his eyes over the big trophy right from the start… Damn!"
It was very clear now that the pirate who came here was very experienced, knew what to do, and had in depth details about everything related to this war.
Hye recalled the precious information he got from Smiggle. And the latter couldn't be compared to the real whale here. Yet that didn't stop Hye. he wanted a piece of that cake, and he intended to get it no matter what!
"I need to find a way to crush more of these ships," as he realised the serious competition he was going to suffer for these tycoons, he decided to cut the arms and legs of that pirate.
Using this world's forces wasn't going to do, and trying to lure these cautious pirates now wasn't going to work. Hye thought about it before he decided to take a gamble.
Hye turned his attention towards the entire battlefield as a whole. The space pirates were looking strong as they stood together, but if the two enemies collaborated to do it, it'd be easy.
[I'm here!] as he waited for his fleet to arrive, the lady nymph finally sent him this message.
[Listen, you'll head directly towards the pirate group] Hye sent this weird message before adding, [Attack everything and anyone you meet, spread out the word in the common channel about being part of the pirate fleet]
[Didn't you say we shouldn't align ourselves with them?!!! What changed?!!!]
[Just do as I say, there is no time to explain] he knew she got a point here, but the time was indeed tight.
[Ok, but there is a huge distance between the two of us…]
[We aren't going to really join them] Hye rolled his eyes, realising that his real intentions were missed by her, [Just do as I say, then retreat to the safe point before the meteorite belt, got it?]
[Honestly? No! But I'll play along] she felt how impatient and urgent he was, [you must have spotted something great out there, right? I want a share!]
[You already have the share of what you killed before, right?] Hye rolled his eyes, couldn't believe the rocket speed this nymph lady was developing into something nasty as an outlaw and an opportunist.
[I want part of the share, or else I won't play until you explain] she paused, before adding, [and I'm sure once you explain things over, you'll have to spill more about the grand loot you are setting your eyes on]
He knew he had no way out but to tell her. [Fine! I'll give you part of the loot] he sighed, [But bear in mind that you have to sound and look convincing, got it?]
[Count on me, hahahaha! I'll trash talk their channel, won't let them enjoy a single moment of rest, hahahaha!]
Hye started to feel bad over the two forces fighting each other here. The nymph lady delivered what she promised, opened the common channel and started spreading hate and curses.
The common channel was kept open for the two sides to communicate in cases of emergencies. The case of the space pirate was one, and Hye's presence here was also another example of its value. Yet the most important use was to coordinate in case a third party crushed the place, like the Toranks or another force.
It was a channel that anyone in a fixed range inside the battlefield would be able to use. So the two sides managed to hear her out, including the Orange Sun himself!
The pirate was sitting inside his flagship when he received the news. "Open up that f*cooking channel! Let's hear everything about it!" he grew instantly mad the moment he heard about it. And when he heard the nymph lady trashing the channel, he couldn't help but curse out loud.
"Screw this b*tch! I wouldn't be the Orange Sun Pirate Lord if I didn't get her and torture her in bed! Spread out my orders, anyone bringing me here alive will be granted a grand award from me…"
Just in the middle of his words, the loud voice of the nymph lady echoed in the entire deck, making him stop and listen while his anger kept piling up.
"... And that mighty space pirate of mine is actually my bed lover! He can't sleep without sleeping in my lap, crying all night and confessing to me many things. He wanted nothing else but to kill and loot, and this war is the perfect battleground for him. He came here working for another force, it's the Toranks baby! And they are going to f*ck you hard, hahahahaha!"
"Spread the orders, I want this b*tch alive as soon as possible," the nymph lady didn't know that what she just said was partially true. That made him quite enraged, and at the same time, quite terrified.
He looked around, and didn't know who the mole among his trusted men was. Things started rolling out in the wrong direction at first when he got surrounded after getting here. And now this weird lady was speaking trash about him, while feeding the enemies real truth.
"Anyone who is going to get her will be upgraded, get his own ships to rule… Hell, I'll let him loot that f*cking fleet pretending to work for me, and keep everything to himself! Spread the word now, dammit!"
The moment the news spread about this grand bounty, and everyone got hyped for that. The scene in the pirate fleet looked quite chaotic. They broke their formation, and started to attack anything and everyone, moving like an unstoppable flood towards one direction.
Chapter 1717 Tricking Everyone
[Damn! They are coming for me!!] the moment this happened, the nymph lady started to scream in words, sending lots of scared messages over to Hye.
And the latter couldn't help but laugh over it.
[Who told you to claim all this about him? He is your man? Come on! Hahahahaha!]
[You asked me to do it! And now you are reneging on your words? You have to support me!]
[didn't promise you anything, hahahaha!]
Hye was listening, listening like many here on the battlefield to what she said. At first, it looked a bit weird, but soon enough Hye couldn't help but laugh.
She was hilarious! She claimed everything about that dude, and Hye was sure the pirates would come at her for revenge.
Yet he had nothing in his power to help her. [Just keep going and don't look back]
[Do you want me to go into the meteorite belt?] She was speechless, but what Hye said next was something that made her freeze in place for a few seconds, [I didn't say to return back there, just go towards the area of the most dense spaceships, and trash talk about the time to attack both forces]

[You…] She gulped before her mind wrapped around what he wanted to do, [You are evil! What if I died there?]
[It's your fate then, hahahaha!] Hye knew she got what he wanted to do. He just hoped that pirates would send a small detachment in her direction, never thinking she'd perform that great and end up luring all these ships.
It'd seem as if most of the pirate ships were heading toward the nymph lady. And all it was missing now was the last trigger, the little spark that'd lit everything up and spread out a fire.
And that would be what she was going to talk about in the common channel. The moment she started her trash talk, everything changed!
[My boyfriend is coming b*tches! Hahahaha! See that grand fleet coming here? It's him, he is here, he is coming to be on my side, attack anyone here. Do you know what this means? Yes, yes, yes, the Toranks… They are coming! hahahahaha!]
The two enemies decided to pause their attacks here and hit that incoming fleet. They didn't do this out of cautious, but because the nymph lady already started to hit many ships around, pulling the fuse for that bomb.
Then things went south for the remaining pirate fleet, the one led by the Orange Sun pirate himself.
The moment this started, small ships were coming in his direction. When he burnt them down, more started to group up, especially with the temporary truce held by the two opposing sides here.
It was a remarkable touch from the nymph lady to mention the Toranks. If it was just the space pirates here, then Hye was sure the two forces wouldn't bother by cooperating to do anything against him.
But when the name of the scary Toranks was mentioned, and with the reliable intel about the densely packed fleets that belonged to the Toranks being nearby, the two sides didn't treat this matter casually anymore.
Hye watched the entire world around him burn, and couldn't help but laugh at this. He alone couldn't take this space pirate down. But using the grand fleets here, it was indeed quite easy to do.
The moment everyone focused on that space pirate fleet, Hye started to move toward his target. The places where these rich tycoons took as bases weren't that far from him. And so he steered his spaceship and headed towards the closest place.
He met lots of ships that were coming from everywhere, heading towards the place of that space pirate. Few of them mistook him as part of them, while others took him as an enemy. That made him fly under a heavy rain of fire. If not for him being alone, then these ships would have persisted in chasing him.
As they saw him fleeing away from the direction of the ongoing battle, they mistook him for a deserter. They couldn't kill him, so they didn't waste their time and kept going toward the big threat.
As for the nymph lady, she already got permission to retreat. She did enough, and it was time for her to vanish. As she got the order to retreat, she didn't remain there and retreated.
She thought in such huge battles she'd be able to take and reap lots of loot. But reality was cruel and she couldn't do that at all.
Every single time she tried to go out and collect the loot, she ended up getting surrounded and attacked fiercely. After doing this dozens of times, she bitterly accepted this and left.
"I will return back to collect all of your loot," she promised while leading the entire fleet, heading towards the deadly meteorite belt area.
She got chased crazily by tons of ships. Yet the moment they spotted her and her fleet going into that deadly zone, not a single ship dared to pursue it.
They all retreated, focused on dealing with the incoming big fleet of that space pirate. When the Orange Sun saw the nymph lady going into that zone, he asked his forces to retreat and gather up with him.
His situation was bad, and yet he wasn't feeling any danger. He just called back his fleet and waited patiently for something.
"Just go away," Hye was in the middle of evading the incoming attacks of the ships he met. As the fight between the two enemies stopped here, any alien ship without the symbol of both sides would end up getting attacked.
Hye wasn't the only one moving away from the crazy battlefield, many ships did. That made Hye realise that running away was running in the outlaws' veins and blood.
Just before he'd arrived at the tycoon's place, something new happened. A huge whirlpool appeared one that was so extensive to rival the size of a star. It appeared tens of thousands of miles away from him, and yet he felt like it was just close by.
Chapter 1718 Attacking The Big Tycoons
"What's going on?" he couldn't ignore such a change, and yet he never stopped flying towards his destination. The moment this whirlpool appeared, all the ships and fleets here seemed to get stirred up, moved, and focused solely on it.
That made Hye have smooth sailing towards his target. He didn't know what this whirlpool was, but he was thankful it appeared here. And yet when this black whirlpool threw what was inside it, he cursed out loud.
"Sh*t! It's bringing more space pirates!!!"
As Hye was busy heading towards the place he wanted, he saw the colossal whirlpool gushing out tons of ships. Large fleets appeared all had the same mark on them.
He never expected the piracy career to be this successful. And yet he never got tempted to go down this path. All he thought about was to focus more on developing the nymph lady's interest in such business and make her like his arm in the underground world.
The sudden influx of such a huge amount of pirate ships made it hard for both enemies here to stop them. All the ships were heading and focused on the main pirate fleet, and now there were at least twelve more fleets appearing from the whirlpool. And Hye felt like it wouldn't stop here.

"I need to hurry," he felt the urge to move faster and reach his destination. Or else with all these ships, the pirates would secure their way towards the rich tycoons.
Hye knew things turned to the worse, and the problem now wasn't in arriving at these rich folks, but how to get away safely after collecting the loot.
He knew the pirates weren't going to play nice with him, they wouldn't allow an outsider to collect any loot, even if it was just ten percent.
He ignored anything happening around and moved like a ray of light towards his target. Luckily he moved a bit early and crossed most of the distance towards there. And when he arrived, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
The sudden appearance of all these pirates drove tons of ships surrounding and protecting these rich tycoons away. They saw in the incoming ships a great challenge and threat and moved at once to intercept and stop them from getting near their treasure chests.
They didn't bother about a single ship like Hye's, didn't know they committed the biggest mistake ever.
Hye arrived when most of the guards left, leaving behind just a small count of less than ten medium-sized ships, three big ships, and almost a thousand small ships. This might seem like a big force, but to secure the ones who got tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of ships in their inventory, then it was simply a joke.
"It's time to do something about this," Hye turned around, looked at the ten Reapers he took out, "Suit up, go inside the big ships, and start a massacre…" he paused before pointing out toward one big ship in particular, "open a path for me to enter, and leave everything else to me."
There were tycoons with tons of spaceships in this small fleet, but Hye was the richest tycoon if it came down to warrior tokens. He just needed access, and everything would be solved to the best.
He knew as he'd attack the big ships, other fleets and ships around would get alarmed. He expected tons of forces coming here, trying to stop him, but this wasn't going to work.
The moment he'd lay his hands over these three big ships, he'd be totally secure. He was sure the securest place here for any tycoon to be in was these three big ships. Other ships were just decorations and guards for them.
The enemy wouldn't believe a single small ship crew would be able to take down three big battleships. And yet after this day, everyone would remember what Hye did here.
The first thing he did was to secure his entry point. If he got enough suits, he'd let more Reapers go out and rampage these spaceships. But for now, he got just ten suits to do so.
He selected Reapers as they were the deadliest mass killers in his warrior arsenal. They got the same abilities as Soulers, not to mention they were much fiercer.
He didn't select just one big ship to attack to make a diversion. Like this, the enemy wouldn't know which one of these three was his real target. And when they'd figure that out, it'd be too late for them.
Not to mention he planned to execute a massacre of the three big ships at the same time. Luckily the three weren't that far away from each other, and the one he selected just was in the middle of the other two.
Hye then watched his ten Reapers moving towards each ship, three to the ones on the side, and four to the one in the middle. They looked harmless, and no one would care about flies coming to burn over the mighty shields of the big ships.
Yet the moment they arrived there, they easily passed through these shields, passed through the thick bodies of the ships, before entering inside. And without the need for him to see anything, he knew a bloody massacre was going on inside each and every one of these three big ships.
Before even the sirens of alarm would ring, he spotted a hunger door opening in the area near his spaceship. He didn't hesitate and pushed his ship forward, trusting his Reapers to do the rest.
Just before his ship would get to the shields' zone, he received a message that his ship got clearance for this spaceship. It was named the Battle Flag #0222552, and that was a silly military name in his opinion.
But he got access, and he wouldn't let this chance slip by.
"Stay inside, be ready to move at any given moment," he said to the small crew he had, before moving out of the ship.
Chapter 1719 Doing It Like Old Days
The door that opened was closed now, and the atmosphere inside was supporting life.
He was inside a very spacious hunger, one that stretched for hundreds of metres in every direction. It wasn't empty, as there was a flood of the different races coming here.
"I thought this belonged to Hescos… Don't tell me they use other races to fight their wars?" Hye was surprised by this, never thought the mighty Hescos would hire other races as mercenaries to do their battles.
But when he thought about the scary number of ships and fleets such an empire had, and when he thought about the fast rate of destruction of ships in the war he witnessed, he knew it made perfect sense for the Hescos to use other races to do this.
They'd need tons of warriors and fighters to operate all these ships. Not to mention they'd fear losing too many talents this easily.
Hye thought of all this, but his hands never stopped. He kept waving around, and his Soulers and Reapers finally appeared here. Once they did, the battle that seemed to be impossible for the four Reapers to win began to look like a one-sided massacre.
"Clear other sections," taking down this hunger and killing everyone didn't take more than five minutes, "search for suits, suit up and go out there. Go inside other ships, invade, and kill anyone inside. Bring their bodies here, and then go to other ships to attack…"
Hye already had this planned. He decided to use these hungers as collection points, ones from which he'd clean all the loot from the races killed, before throwing their bodies into space and accepting more.
At the same time, as he started to invade this battle flagship, he decided to let his Soulers and Reapers look for suits and move to invade other ships. Like this, he'd use his two warriors to take down the entire fleet here and take down any fleet coming as well.
As for collecting loot, a thing he'd never miss at such a low starting point of his, he decided to let them move bodies back from any ship they controlled. To do so, he needed to release tons of Soulers and Reapers, a thing that he was the only person in the entire universe able to do.
The only limitation he feared was the suits. But when they searched just in this hunger and found thousands of suits stored in the walls, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Just one hunger-provided suits enough to arm up slightly more than ten thousand of his warriors. As he watched the first batch leave, he knew things were going to be better.
"Don't forget to bring all the suits you can find in any ship you invade," before the first batch would leave, he suddenly added this order, "it's time to start storing up suits for the future."
Everyone in the universe would do space battles by using ships against ships, cannons against cannons. Yet Hye was different. He planned to use suited warriors against ships and fleets, and he was positive he was going to prevail and win in almost every single clash he'd face, as long as he got enough time to prepare.
This was a genuinely new way of doing battles in the universe, one that couldn't be easily mimicked or stopped by any force in the universe.
The only weakness of it was its slow start. And that was why Hye wanted to start amassing these suits as much as he could get. Once he got enough suits to arm up an army of Soulers and Reapers, then he'd easily start a massacre without the need to do what he was doing right now.
As he sent the first batch out, he started to push deeper into this spaceship. It was a colossal metallic beast indeed, filled with tons of hunger, rooms, corridors, and doors. The doors couldn't stop the Soulers or Reapers, and Hye didn't need to personally explore the ship.
He simply went into hunger one by one, releasing all the Soulers and Reapers he had. He told them the same orders he gave to others, sending part into the heart of the spaceship, and another to hang around.
He asked them to kill everyone inside, suit up, go out, and do the same as others. After doing this for an hour or so, he felt he released tons of his warriors, and it was time to collect the rewards.
When he went to check on hunger, he found out that he had tons of dead bodies out there to collect loot from. He didn't stop just to collect loot and also started collecting his bones.
Collecting bones was easy thanks to his high-frequency bone absorption ability. But collecting loot was done individually. He had to place his hand over one body and accept the message of taking the loot, before acquiring fifty percent of it.
At first, he felt it was too slow to do this. But when he saw how his ship collection increased, he was excited to know that even the normal fighters here had ships in their inventories.
"That's huge! Hahahaha!" he laughed while moving faster and with more energy around. His collecting speed increased, and he returned to the same energetic phase of the apocalypse.
As long as he was gaining from this, he wouldn't stop anything. And when he visited a few hungers, he could see his warriors returning with what he ordered them to bring.
Many returned with suits, and others were just carrying lots of dead bodies over. They threw them here and left to return back to the ships.
Hye took a peek outside when they did so, and there he spotted a true nightmare! Tons of ships were trying to hit his warriors, ending up failing in doing so.
"Hahahaha, they can pass through anything, even the attacks, hahahaha! You won't be able to stop them. The only way to stop me is to kill the three spaceships, which is something that won't happen," he turned his eyes toward the newly delivered suits and evilly grinned.
Chapter 1720 Gaining The Respect Of The Space Pirate King
This was just the first batch delivered, and there were thousands of these suits here. He took half into his inventory and left the rest for new warriors to wear.
"Move everyone there," he pointed towards the newly delivered bodies, "and then close the door and flush all out. You know what to do once out there, right?"
He knew if he let his warriors attack the grand number of the fleet out there then he'd fail. But if they disguised themselves among the dead, then a large number of ships would get invaded in no time.
As he gave these orders, he hurriedly ran toward other hangers. "I missed you, babe," he took his staff out, even kissed it before starting to store places inside this ship.
It was so massive, and he'd waste tons of precious time moving in between the hangers.
So he started to save many locations while repeating what he did back at the first hunger. His warriors didn't just return at one hanger but at many. And he was now visiting them all, doing the same.
As for the dead ones grabbed and brought here by his warriors, he'd return to collect loot from them later on. As for the hanger, he didn't collect anything from, he asked his Bulltors and Shield Warriors to just carry everyone inside and throw them in the corridors and the rooms.
After he finished doing this, he started to do the same old thing he used to do back in the apocalypse. He kept jumping from one point to another, collecting everything before asking the warriors there to move the useless bodies back into hunger and wait for the arrival of the warriors from the outside.
Then they'd just move the new bodies in, flush the old and useless ones out, and if he was present at that time then he'd add more warriors in the middle of the mix.
He didn't stress about releasing warriors every single time he flushed dead bodies, or else this would grow as a pattern and the enemy would guard against this.
"It feels great to do all this, it feels like returning back home, hahahaha!" Hye was truly excited about all this, feeling like he was a shark that returned back to the ocean waters after being in captivity for a long time.
He got immersed in doing all this while the world around the three big spaceships was literally lit on fire. Many ships and fleets came here to rescue them, yet they got stopped by two enemies; Hye's weird warriors and the space pirates!
The space pirates saw what Hye was doing and reported it back to their boss. The leader of this force, the Orange Sun pirate, got totally amused and shocked by what Hye was doing, decided to watch and see if he could mimic this strategy, and wanted to see if it was going to succeed in the end or what.
After the passage of ten hours, he was pretty sure this strategy was a killer! He saw not only the three big ships, not the old ships here getting attacked but also tons of ships that came to their aid and rescue.
The reinforcements got turned into prey, and now they needed others to come and help. He also noticed the grand conveys carrying tons of things and heading from all these ships to just one single big battleship.
"The one behind all this must be inside that ship," the eyes of that fierce and infamous pirate shone brightly in the desire for battle. Yet he was realistic and knew that facing such a foe was going to end up quite bad.
The big spaceship Hye was in got fortified and surrounded with strong shields. The various ships around tried to hit it hard to take it down, but such a strategy failed with the increasing influx of suited warriors getting out from this ship, invading everything around.
"Don't tell me… They are the infamous and legendary Soulers?!!!" after watching for ten more hours, the space pirate was now guessing it right, "They must be! But who is that mtherfcker who brought such an insane number of them and managed to survive without getting killed? Amazing! He is indeed worthy of my respect, worthy to be my rival…"
This was the unwritten rule in the underground world of the outlaws. They'd only respect the strong, and as they respected them, it also meant they considered them their rivals and probably their sworn enemies!
Aside from all this, Hye was having the best time of his life! "Hahahaha! Everyone I touched is a treasure chest, hahahaha!"
It wasn't just about spaceships, but also crystals, gears, and even potions and pills. There were tons of things he looted, and he didn't have time to even scan fast over these. With every batch he cleared, he was sure he added around a few hundred ships, even reaching thousands if his luck was great.
He kept flashing from one hunger to another. After ten hours, the smaller ships around here got all cleared. Their bodies and suits got moved here, and then the warriors moved to attack other ships.
As for the medium-sized ones, they took ten more hours to get cleared. For the big ships, every single one of them took around three days to get cleared!
Hye wanted nothing more than to clear all the loot from the people in these three big ships. He was getting tons of great stuff, but he felt like his gain would be a hundredfold if he touched those treasure chests, the tycoons he came here for in the first place.
Yet there were too many dead bodies here to loot, and he didn't want to miss even the small gains right now.
He wasn't just gaining loot, but also bones. He spent a hectic amount of these bones, and with the Heart Crystal, he needed tons more of his bones to make up for the ones he already consumed.
Chapter 1721 Turbo Collecting Mode Is On!
From time to time, he'd check the outer world when the doors of the hungers would open. Seeing the hectic battle out there, and feeling nothing inside, made him heave a sigh of relief.
"It was the right call to attack a bigger spaceship than others," he turned towards the crazy amount of bodies here, before turning his head up and shouting, "System higher up, if you can hear me, I'm ready to make a deal with you. I want to upgrade my looting ability and turn on the turbo mode for it. I'm willing to pay bones, a crazy amount for it to happen. What do you say?"
[You are a troublemaker, do you know that?]
The voice of the system higher up rang in his head. And when he heard it, Hye couldn't help but evilly grin.
"Long time no see, old friend, I hope you missed my bones, hehehehe."
[Who didn't? But what you are asking for is something which is going to cause lots of problems. Do you know what you are doing? I could understand it before as the Hescos were part of your apocalypse. But now? Why are you targeting them again? Don't you know how big they are?]
"They are huge, but they are still after me," Hye shrugged, "didn't you hear about what they did back to the Bringold impact? I was just meeting an old friend, and they turned everything literally on fire!"
[That doesn't change the fact that you are a troublemaker! Tsk! Always giving me a headache!]
"So, are you going to accept my bones or what?" Hye didn't care about any of this. As long as this old friend responded, then great things would happen!
[You are a disaster, do you know that?]
"So it's a deal or not?" Hye rolled his eyes, and then the system higher up agreed. He paid one million dark realm bones in return for activating the turbo mode.
"Now we are talking, hahaha!" the moment he tested the new turbo mode of collecting loot, he couldn't help but laugh hysterically for an entire minute!
It was the same as his bone collection turbo mode. He could collect loot from an area covered with his mode. He collects loot from tons of dead bodies. As the bodies accumulated on top of one another, he gathered tons of loot in no time!
In a blink of an eye, he stopped struggling with collecting loot and started to enjoy doing it. All he needed to do was to jump between hangers, absorbing all the loot and bones out there in a few minutes, before asking his warriors to ditch all of the dead bodies out.
It turned out to be a playground for him. And with that, he got enough time to deploy more of his space-experienced warriors, and released them toward the growing number of enemies out there, expanding the reign of his activities.
"That wasn't his limit!!!" from afar, the Orange Sun pirate king was keenly watching what Hye was doing. In the past few days, this became one of the most intense battlegrounds in the entire war!
Both sides sent tons of fleets and ships to stop Hye, especially the Hescos. The three flagships Hye attacked belonged to the Hescos, and yet the forces of the world joined in the attack as well.
The reason was simple, they mistook everything to be the act of the pirates. And as the pirates were the enemies of all, they joined in, not to help the Hescos, but to spread more fire!
Eventually, the fire they were blowing caught on their clothes, ending up with nothing else but losing tons of ships in the hands of Hye's warriors. The Hescos watched this and laughed before everyone started to fight everyone again.
It was messy and hectic! Blood and violence! With every passing minute, more ships got destroyed, while many more got deployed from other places filled with rich tycoons.
Hye was taking care of this place, while the Orange Sun pirate king sent his forces to deal with nearby places filled with tycoons. This placed more pressure over the two behemoths here, making them divert more forces to save whatever they could.
The pirates didn't attack just one place, but many. The incoming fleets from the whirlpool never stopped, and this allowed the pirate king to have more options in this war.
Hye didn't know any of that until the lady nymph sent him a message about that. He already summoned her here to join the fun just two days after everything started.
He could tell from his spot how hectic and crazy the situation outside was. And when he felt something was amiss, and the number of ships attacking the big spaceship declined all of a sudden, she sent him the news.
"That pirate king… He is indeed much better than me at looting," Hye shook his head, knowing he had nothing to do with any of that.
He was very content with everything he was doing here, and he didn't intend to expand his activities around. He was doing great just in one spot, trying to expand would mess everything up and turn the tables over himself.
So he ignored what the nymph lady kept sending, and even if he was jealous, he knew his limits.
[Just focus on attacking and looting, the disturbance here won't last for a long time] he warned her, and he got a point in doing so.
The two sides were taken by surprise by what he and the pirate king did. If they were given enough time, then things would end up deploying more fleets and much stronger firepower.
So far the world forces here didn't grow crazy and used that scary weapon he once read about. Not to mention the Hescos didn't yet deploy tons of their fleets. They got this chance as this was just the beginning of the war, and both sides were just testing one another.
Chapter 1722 We'll Run Away Through There
The moment things would turn quite serious, they wouldn't be able to do anything at all. Even that pirate king would fail to acquire anything and would feel threatened if he stayed here.
[Make yourself ready to depart when I give the order] As he knew all this, he already set his eyes towards the safest exit from here, [Once I give the order, you'll follow me]
[Towards where? The safe zone?]
[I've already called Lucas and others back] he paused, [We won't remain here any longer. We did enough, and we have to make a run for our lives if we wanted to survive in the end]
[Still didn't tell me where…]
[Towards that whirlpool, what else? Is there any other place out there that could take us away but this?] Hye rolled his eyes, feeling like this lady was acting stupid and weird at some point without any proper reason.
[That… Are you crazy? Don't you know this is a pirate king? And we are going to invade his own territory? Do you even know where we are going to appear?!!] She got shocked and scared, refusing Hye's plan from the bottom of her heart.
[First, we got nowhere else to go. Second, this pirate king saw how I fought, and he is smart enough to know no one can stop me without paying a hefty price. As for our location, as long as it's away from here, we'll survive]
[But we are heading directly to the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a very hostile force, and that pirate king won't go nice on us!]
[We have no other choice, so suck it!] Hye knew all that and was even prepared for a hellish battle with that pirate king if things went south. But he was sure that man was going to be smart enough to lean towards soft threats rather than using brute force.
In the end, Hye was prepared to pay part of his grand loot in return for going away safely. If not, then let it be war then.
As he expected to lose part of his loot, Hye went all out and took tons of his Souler and Reapers that he accumulated over the years.
He might have started gaining them from the Bringold impact, then through Silverlining. In the later stages of the apocalypse, he used his class to form more of these. But in the past twenty years, he left them in the Second Earth world, letting them produce and expand their forces.
The only drawback was that the newly born Soulers and Reapers were races and not warriors. So he had to use his Warrior-producing magical place there and turn them all into tokens!
Right now he had a scary number of these, enough to just throw them at any army and watch his enemies suffer no matter who they were. The only challenge he faced during the past twenty years was the scary number of souls needed to keep them alive. And that got solved by killing more monsters back then.
He started to take out these two scary warriors and spread them all over this region of space. In the end, the area around him for hundred of kilometres was vacant of anything alive, while his warriors were spreading terror and death in a fast-expanding ring.
The pirate king was shocked when the situation reached such a stage. "Even after the two sides combined their forces together, they couldn't stop him? I know they are using just level one and two forces, but this is quite insane!"
The pirate king wanted nothing more but to replicate what Hye was doing, and yet he knew this was very impossible to achieve. The crazy fee he had to pay to keep them alive would give him nightmares if he dared to do so.
But he took a silent note in his heart about Hye, deciding to not directly clash with such a mysterious figure and not turn him into his direct foe anytime or anywhere.
He wasn't like these forces and had to struggle to gather lots of followers. He had a base, but it wasn't like this world or any other world, not like anything else.
He depended more on warriors and mercenaries, and both needed tons of wealth to keep. If he lost big in any war, it wasn't going to be just a blow to his military strength, but also a deep blow to his pockets.
To him, his followers were like long-term investments. Losing them meant he lost tons of money coming out in the long run.
The war kept raging wildly and crazily like that for two entire weeks! During this, Hye never took a single moment of rest, always doing something here and there.
He only slept for four hours per day, and on many occasions, he was forced to wake up whenever danger appeared. At some point, the world's forces grew tired of his and the pirate king's actions and launched their scary weapon out.
Luckily they targeted the pirate king first, and that gave him enough time to call everyone back and started to make a run for his life.
After leaving the ship and the little warzone, the weapon's hit landed and exploded fiercely, creating a threatening huge rose-shaped explosion in the middle of the dark space.
Seeing this from his ship made him heave an inward sigh of relief. He managed to slip by at the last moment.
[Tell me you are alive!] Just before he'd composed himself, the nymph lady sent this message in distress and worry.
[Don't worry, it's not that easy to kill me…]
[Stop bragging! Can't you see how deadly this thing is?!!]
[Let's retreat then] Hye knew the world's forces grew serious. And that also meant the Hescos were going to deploy much stronger forces next, [It's time to make a run for that portal]
[Give me a little time, I'm in the middle of collecting awesome loot…]
Chapter 1723 Three Small Ships Are Racing Against Time!
[There is no time! The next target will be that portal for sure!] Hye couldn't believe how greed blinded her judgment at this critical moment. And when she saw his message, she couldn't help but gulp, feeling cold shivers all over her body.
[Fine! I'm coming right away!]
[Godspeed!]
[What the heck does that mean?]
[Dunno, it's a good luck saying from my home world] Hye rolled his eyes, [Just move your ass here, don't delay any further or else…]
[I know, I know… I'm already back into my spaceship, and will move with everything I have…]
[Ditch that ship! Collect it and other big ships, just move using the small ships]
[How about your warriors steering them?!!! We paid lots of effort and time to train them…]
[I'll call them back once you confirm taking back everything, just start packing, and let's go away from this cursed place…]
He waited for her to give him the signal. And when she did, he called back all the warriors he had in any place.
[Damn! You took the warriors in my spaceship as well!!!]
[Can't help it, and you don't need to bother about fighting anymore. Just fly directly toward the portal, and ignore anything else]
[If I die, I'm going to kill you…]
[Oh my my, are you turning into a zombie and coming for my life? Hahahaha!] he was amused by her words, amused by the entire situation.
He got much more than what he dreamt for, got trained warriors on flying the ships, got to devise a very unique and very deadly tactic to use in any space battle, got tons of loot, and on top of that he got to leave the Hescos behind for the first time since leaving Earth.
He flew directly towards the portal, and told the nymph lady he wasn't going to wait for her if she took more than ten minutes to arrive. He timed the difference between the two hits made by that weapon and knew it'd take around half an hour to charge.
At the same time, he wasn't that positive their next target would be the portal. If it was him, he'd aim directly towards the escape route of the enemy and block it, to make sure the enemy wouldn't escape and would be entrapped here.
But he couldn't tell if the world's forces would do the same or not. As he was amused and feeling great about this, the pirate king was gloomy in his flagship.
His forces got a fierce hit, directly from that world-killer weapon. He lost thousands of ships, with tens of thousands of veterans and good pirates. He couldn't help but feel a pain in his chest, and that was partially a bad omen he felt.
He wasn't like Hye, couldn't just call everyone back into his inventory and make a run in a single ship. He had to move in a big entourage and convey something that'd be easily spotted from hundreds of miles away.
As he knew that, he felt like the next strike would land at him. "Prepare my fastest ship, I'm going ahead towards the escape portal," as he got such a bad omen, he decided to run away first and keep his life.
He knew the next target would be either his fleet or that portal, but he felt it'd be his fleet first then the portal. Pirates were deeply hated all over the universe thanks to the brutality of their actions and crimes. So it wasn't a surprise if he spotted a flash of deadly light coming in his direction from far away, ending up destroying much of his fleet and taking away his life.
He could replace his fleets and forces, as long as he'd pay enough price for that, but he had just one life to keep. So he hurriedly left and headed like Hye and a nymph lady towards the portal in a small fast ship, all alone and without anyone accompanying him.
He feared if he brought forth his guards or elite pirates, the enemy would spot him. And as he moved towards the portal, something started to flash brightly in the far distance.
"It's recharging faster this time," Hye, the nymph lady, and the pirate king all noticed that. They all felt their hearts clenched tightly and didn't know what would happen next.
The weapon charged in just ten minutes, and that was thanks to overflowing it with a crazy amount of energy. The world's forces' generals were very experienced and knew that delaying the upcoming attack would bring disastrous results in the end.
The enemies would eventually escape. As there was a possibility for the pirate king to make a run in one of the hard-to-track small ships, they decided to hit his fleet first, then charge up the weapon fast, and hit the portal next.
They didn't believe the pirate king would cross that distance in less than half an hour. But they were mistaken. The three of them had very fast ships, and they moved from the early moment of the first strike.
So they were getting closer to the portal, only needing a few minutes to arrive there when the second strike landed.
"I hate and despise you!" When the pirate king saw his grand fleet getting barbecued by that weapon, detonating in a very fierce way, he couldn't help but scream in agony and bitterness. Yet he was partially thankful he managed to get away with his life intact, at least this was thanks to his instincts and decisive response.
The three crazily ran, pushed through anything and everything standing in their way. As Hye predicted, they didn't have time to even care about the enemies around, and they didn't need to fire a single shot at any enemy, only focusing on running fast and pulling away the distance with their enemies in the shortest time possible.
[I'm here, where are you?] The first to arrive was Hye. and the moment he did, he noticed the big-scale battle ongoing between the pirate forces guarding this portal and the other two behemoths' forces.
[I'm just two minutes away! Wait for me!]
[Be ready, there is a big fight going on here]
[You took away my warriors…]
