Chapter 1787: Bringing Chaos
This was Hye's plan from the start. If he arranged a big fleet from the beginning, the coordinated force would drop any idea of pressing the attack and would retreat and let him do the heavy work.
But as the fleet he sent after them wasn't that big, they kept attacking without fearing or depending on him. And when they attacked the inner and tight layer of defence, Hye used the chance to make his new grand fleet while waiting for the Toranks formation to get disarrayed.
He noticed during the past incidents that coordinated fleets made it inside, the Toranks would send lots of their ships to hunt them down. This would create a hole in their tight formation, not precisely a hole, but a weak spot he'd target.
"Hit that spot now!" When the same happened, he moved his stationed fleet towards that weak spot, "they wanted to squeeze my fleet in between the outer and inner layers, useless move!"
While he was forming his grand fleet, the Toranks also noticed that. It looked futile to wait for that new and big fleet to come and attack the inner layer. It was clearly visible how threatening this move would be.
So they let the inner layer handle the remnants of the coordinated forces, while they sent enough ships from the outer layer to pressure over Hye's fleet from outside.
Yet they were late! The inner Toranks fleets were way fast in cleaning the attacking coordinated remnant force, and that was the signal Hye waited for.
"Attack!" without any speck of hesitation, he gave the order for his fleet to hit the weak spot of the Toranks. The moment his fleet attacked; chaos erupted!
First thing happened was for the tightly packed fleets surrounding the caravan to break their formation, wanting to circle and entrap his fleet. They thought this would be an easy to handle battle, but that wasn't the case.
"Show them how scary my Soulers are!" Hye didn't just send the newly acquired different race members out there, he also sent his Soulers.
There weren't that many of them, just a few tens of thousands, but they were enough to create havoc in the middle of the Toranks!
The Soulers moved out, attacked the nearby ships, and all of sudden a weird phenomenon started to appear. The ships coming close to the invading fleet suddenly stopped flying!
Instead of attacking the invading fleet, they ended up forming a protective layer, one that stood tall and strong in front of other Toranks ships coming!
The move the Toranks thought to help end this battle fast was the movie that made them fail! Hye's fleet had to worry only of the ships standing between them and the caravan. And the rest of the Toranks forces already got distanced away from them by a widening and growing protective layer!
The Toranks in the middle of this battle were growing mad! They tried to contact the ships that stopped flying and moving, without any response. In the end they had to attack them, feeling bitter about killing and destroying their own ships in such a way!
But they had to! The ships standing between Hye's fleet, and the caravan weren't enough, not even close enough!
If they didn't do it, then Hye's fleet would find its way easily to the caravan. And yet even with ships getting bombarded by their mates, more ships started to stop moving, showcasing the same weird happening out there.
"Hahaha, Silverining grasped the situation fast, hahaha," just as this was happening, Hye received a message from Silverining, one he didn't open.
"Sorry pal, you were the one to abandon me," Hye evilly smirked, before watching his combined attack cause the damage and chaos he wanted, "stop! Attack more Toranks ships, kill and destroy to your heart's content."
Unlike what anyone else in his spot would do, Hye didn't make his fleet press forward and pass the thin alignment of the Toranks. In fact, his main goal from doing this was to disrupt the Toranks formations, weakening their forces by destroying more ships, and invoke fear in the souls of everyone here that the caravan could be snatched at any moment.
Under the scared gazes of everyone, his fleet stopped pushing forward, and started to bombard all the ships around without showing pause or mercy. More Toranks ships got attacked and destroyed, and more messages came from Silverining that Hye ignored.
The situation that had been at a standstill for two days now changed drastically thanks to him. The fleet he formed was big enough to take a few hours from the Toranks fleets to take it down. Not to mention the unexpected intervention of his Soulers.
That forced the Toranks to send more ships from the outer layer, shrank the outer layer area of activity even to make up for that. At the same time, other forces grew scared, and also grew greedy.
"It's a chance!"
"Don't know who that force is, but they are helping everyone hahaha!"
"They don't attack the caravan, but the fleets surrounding it! Now those dirty bastards can't stop us now!"
"Advance! Send everyone, send everything, it's now or never!"
As Hye intended, all forces watching from a distance moved. They knew this was a one in lifetime chance, and they had to be faster than others to grasp it.
No one knew who was the one behind this except the higher ups of the Toranks. Silverlining kept nagging him with messages, and Hye kept ignoring him.
"Keep fighting, till the last man and ship," his orders were strict to his newly gained forces. If any disobeyed, he killed them at once. So others had to do the task, waiting for a miracle to happen and they keep their lives in the end.
Yet from the very start, their lives were doomed the moment Hye sat his gaze upon them. He used them as a suicidal squad, and they did their part brilliantly well.
