Chapter 656: 228 Mantis catches the cicada, Bai Fu is behind【5k】
Secret Tower was about to collapse on its own, it was one thing for low-level troops to defect, but now key members were fleeing too?
After receiving the message from Star Network, Bai Fu was in a brief stupor.
She recalled the task she received not long ago from the Blessing Sect to attack a Secret Tower base.
At the Secret Tower base, people ran from her as if they had seen a ghost, each faster than the last.
From this perspective, it seemed that Secret Tower internally indeed had problems.
"A new version just launched a few days ago, and the main storyline is already advancing?"
Bai Fu nodded vigorously.
This was great news, the faster the main storyline advanced, the better!
She couldn't wait to resolve Secret Tower so that Players would refocus on commissions to make money and gain Experience for her.
Without Players diligently working, where would she suck the blood from Players?
Bai Fu asked for details.
The person from Star Network narrated smoothly.
This time, the alliance formed by Star Network, Tidal Civilization, Heavenly Eye Alliance, and Caster Civilization really put in their full effort, hoping to seize this opportunity to eliminate Secret Tower, a bane that had existed for hundreds of years.
Actually, after the battle at Golden Valley Star, the Alliance had intensified their assaults on Secret Tower. After Bai Fu captured Bangula and Nuoz on Xiu Dun Star, the intensity of these attacks increased even more.
Many of Secret Tower's secret bases were destroyed, and many forces associated with Secret Tower, such as pirate groups, were beaten to the point of crying for their parents.
But these attacks were always limited to the periphery, and despite the alliance's best efforts, they were still unable to eliminate core figures like Sentry.
Secret Tower was just too cautious, apart from a few core members, other members of Secret Tower couldn't even clearly state where the headquarters were.
Now that they finally learned that key members of Secret Tower were ready to defect, how could the Alliance not pay attention?
Initially, the Alliance also suspected that this Secret Tower defector might actually be a spy sent by Secret Tower.
For this, they conducted detailed interrogations and obtained a lot of intelligence related to Secret Tower.
Relying on this intelligence, the Alliance internally rooted out several figures whose positions were not necessarily lower than Nuoz.
These figures, like Nuoz, were not genuinely loyal to Secret Tower; it was merely mutual exploitation. They provided convenience for Secret Tower while Secret Tower elevated their statuses.
But their actions ultimately still had a negative impact on their respective civilizations.
If it weren't for these insiders causing trouble behind the scenes, Secret Tower would never have grown to such a scale.
After clearing out these insiders, members of the Alliance were thrilled.
However, what really made them trust the Secret Tower defector was the coordinates of a Star Gate, a Star Gate that led to Secret Tower's headquarters!
When the Alliance's fleet reached the location of the Star Gate, Secret Tower was dismantling the Star Gate, having only dismantled half of it. Although Secret Tower urgently blasted away the remaining half, due to their haste, they still left behind much data, allowing the Alliance's Spaceships to capture specific frequencies of spatial fluctuations.
With this data, in at most two or three months, the Alliance could calculate the location of Secret Tower's headquarters and deliver the final blow to the crumbling Secret Tower.
[As long as you can save me, I can tell you more names of spies installed by Secret Tower, including the plans Secret Tower has been secretly preparing and the relationships between Secret Tower and the Dark Domain Insect Clan.]
This bargaining chip thrown out by the Secret Tower defector was really too tempting.
Therefore, even with the potential to face an ambush from Catastrophe-level forces and Secret Tower motherships, the Alliance still dispatched a fleet, wanting to bring that defector back.
To increase the success rate of this operation, the Alliance invited many Superpower Users and forces with whom they had previously collaborated closely; both Bai Fu and the Blessing Sect were among the invited.
Bai Fu glanced at the new Task notification that popped up in front of her.
The reward for this task was only 15 million Experience, but completing this task might allow her to obtain the reward for the major task of eliminating Secret Tower.
What else could she hesitate about?
She accepted the commission!
Subsequently, more detailed information was sent from Star Network.
Bai Fu quickly skimmed through the information, which listed various intelligence specifics reported by the Secret Tower defector, including the locations of some Secret Tower bases and laboratories.
She was surprised to find that not a single one of these bases overlapped with those reported by Players she had sent undercover.
Was it a coincidence?
When Bai Fu led a large group of Players to assist Star Network, she figured out the situation.
"Fufu, there's new activity from Secret Tower!"
Suddenly appearing in front of her on the spaceship were Familiar faces like Digging Girl, Patrick, and Sky-Surpassing Sword Qi.
Each of these Players had shining eyes, a sign of excitement that Bai Fu had seen many times, each occurrence always signaling something big.
"What activity?" Bai Fu asked.
Digging Girl began to explain.
"A half-day ago, Secret Tower issued an order to all the captured Undying People, instructing them to gather at a location."
As she spoke, Digging Girl pulled up a Star Map.
"Those Undying People started from these locations…"
She pointed at four points on the Star Map representing Players, then the four points began to slowly move, leaving behind four moving trajectories on the Star Map. Each trajectory suddenly stopped extending after reaching a certain location.
No further explanations were needed for Bai Fu to understand.
The locations where these four points stopped were four Star Gates!
And these four Star Gates, undoubtedly, led to—
"Secret Tower's headquarters!"
Digging Girl clenched her fists tightly.
Initially, when capturing Players on Golden Valley Star, Secret Tower had transported a group of Players to their headquarters, but because those Players were suddenly taken there, they couldn't see the relative position of Secret Tower headquarters to other locations on the map, only a war fog.
