Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'

Chapter 734: Intuition (Part 1)



Three days later, Su Mo's fleet continued progressing at high speed in the Sea Origin Star Domain.

At this time, they had already completely distanced themselves from the main battlefield.

Sun Duoxiang and others had been scratching their heads for days, unable to figure out what Su Mo was doing.

Chen Shan couldn't help but say to Su Mo, "Su Mo, if we keep flying forward, we might miss the chance to intercept the Imperial Fleet, and by then, we won't be able to participate."

"I know."

Su Mo nodded in response.

Sun Duoxiang coughed once and squeezed out a smile, saying to Su Mo, "Boss, you're saying they're fighting so fiercely there. Even if we're scared and don't want to join the battle, there's no need to run this far, right?"

"Get lost, am I the type to be afraid?"

Su Mo retorted irritably.

"Then boss, why are we flying this way?"

Sun Duoxiang couldn't understand at all.

Mo Baoke also leaned in curiously and asked, "Lord Su Mo, are you worried about someone discovering that we're slacking off, so intentionally pulling the fleet further away so no one talks about us?"

"Can you guys be a little smarter? If that were the case, why would I gather you all?"

Su Mo sighed helplessly.

"Uh."

Sun Duoxiang and the others scratched their heads, unable to figure it out.

"Alright, don't concern yourselves too much. Sun Duoxiang and Mo Baoke, if you have time to worry about this, you might as well ensure that no information about our activities is leaked."

Su Mo cautiously reminded the two.

"Don't worry, boss. Before the battle, I've confiscated all communication devices from everyone. Also, the jamming device on the ship has been activated, so only the command room can send signals, and there are no signals in other areas."

Sun Duoxiang patted his chest and guaranteed.

Mo Baoke coughed and said, "Lord Su Mo, don't worry. I told my subordinates we're off to smuggle goods, and their communication devices have been confiscated too. They know nothing."

"Alright, but don't let your guard down."

Su Mo nodded satisfactorily.

Xiao Wen, standing by, pondered for a few seconds, then looked up at Su Mo and asked calmly,

"Su Mo, do you think there's an Imperial transport fleet moving in the opposite direction?"

"You're sharp. I suspect the Imperial Army might be using a diversionary tactic."

Su Mo nodded.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Duoxiang and the others looked incredulous, unable to believe it.

"Boss, that's too far-fetched. What idiot would head in this direction?"

"Right or wrong, time will tell."

Su Mo said calmly.

"Normally, no one would choose this route. Moving in the opposite direction and then turning towards the front line would double the journey, not just increasing transport difficulty but also doubling the costs and requiring several times the time. How can you be sure your judgment is correct?"

The deep voice of the Fake Owner, Devourer, echoed in Su Mo's mind.

Su Mo responded in his mind, "Intuition!"

Hearing this, the Fake Owner, Devourer, fell silent again.

Xiao Wen said to Sun Duoxiang and the others, "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Su Mo must have his reasoning. We just need to trust him."

"Of course I trust the boss; I've never doubted him. It's always Sun Duoxiang questioning; I'm the boss's most faithful follower."

Mo Baoke seized the opportunity to flatter shamelessly, throwing Sun Duoxiang under the bus.

Sun Duoxiang's face darkened, and he followed up, "Of course, I support unconditionally."

"Oh, I heard that."

"You...."

...

Su Mo ignored their bickering, staring calmly at the deep darkness of the starry sky ahead.

Time slowly passed.

Five days later.

The Far Wind fleet still sped on, Su Mo standing on the observation deck, gazing at the distant stars.

Sun Duoxiang lay on a chair nearby, yawning, drool nearly spilling out.

"Boss, did you spot the enemy fleet yet?"

"Can you ask fewer questions? Once the enemy fleet is spotted, the boss will naturally inform us."

Mo Baoke retorted unhappily.

Sun Duoxiang was too tired to argue with Mo Baoke; they had argued enough these days.

Su Mo didn't answer Sun Duoxiang's question, continuing to stare quietly at the distant stars.

Xiao Wen and Chen Shan didn't say much, continuing forward, though they too felt quite lost.

"Are you sure your intuition is correct? Still, nothing has been found."

The Fake Owner, Devourer, spoke in a deep voice.

Su Mo was a bit surprised to hear the Fake Owner speak again, unusually restless, so he asked calmly.

"Are you perhaps a bit too concerned?"

"I want Energy Stones; the Imperial Fleet's cargo must contain processed standard Energy Blocks."

The Fake Owner, Devourer, replied gravely.

"I understand."

Su Mo nodded slightly, acknowledging.

...

One day, two days, three days.....

Ten days passed, and Su Mo was still on the observation deck, gazing at the distant stars.

The starry sky remained dazzling, but there was no surprise.

"It's over, we haven't seen a single shadow for half a day. Even if we head back now, it's too late to join the battle. Boss, aren't we just wandering for nothing?"

Sun Duoxiang regretfully remarked while browsing the images uploaded to the Star Ring Forum, noting that the battle was nearing its end.

Of course, the so-called battle's end doesn't mean the Imperial or Alliance Armies were annihilated.

It mainly refers to the Imperial Army's transport ships being mostly destroyed or robbed.

Though some transport ships broke through, it hardly mattered.

Once all of the Imperial Army's transport ships were sunk or robbed, there was no need to keep fighting to the death.

Mo Baoke, beside him, was secretly relieved, patting his chest. Recently, he had been spooked by the gruesome battle footage flooding the forum.

He felt lucky they hadn't found the Imperial Fleet, counting it as a blessing to escape alive, even if it meant wandering in vain.

Xiao Wen quietly said to Su Mo, "We've flown so far already, yet the radar scanning devices still haven't detected any enemy. Is there a mistake in direction or judgment?"

Su Mo also felt a bit troubled, starting to wonder if he had made an error in judgment.

They had indeed traveled an extremely long distance.

Su Mo's expression started to change constantly.

"I'm not questioning your judgment; it just seems meaningless to continue the chase. Moreover, for this battle, we're traveling light, carrying lots of weapons but not much fuel and supplies since it wasn't meant for a long voyage."

Xiao Wen explained to Su Mo.
