In order to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people?
Or is it that His Majesty Rusty doesn’t trust him?
Maybe when Wang Hai was confronting him, he didn't even expect that Eris could figure it out to this extent, right?
"Your Excellency Wang Hai, can you please allow me to talk about it after I arrive?"
No matter what Iris was thinking, even if he was 99% sure that Wang Hai was not lying, he still had to confirm it on the spot before continuing, right?
However, his response had long been expected by Wang Hai.
"Don't you just want to make sure I'm lying? OK, but don't make me wait too long!"
"As for the situation around Helawi, we have already confirmed it. As long as you don't enter the five hundred light-year range around the Starry Sky Continent, it will be fine."
Wang Hai said with an indifferent expression.
Hearing this, Aerith also nodded, and then the two parties ended this short and unpleasant communication.
What else can be said?
Anyway, contact His Majesty Asti first and see what he says?
"Put me through His Majesty Rust's communication!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
A few seconds later, when the communication was connected, Rust's figure appeared directly on the bridge of Aerith's ship in the form of a virtual projection.
"Eris, is there any result?"
"Or are the humans still delaying?"
"I think we should not wait any longer. You can just lead the fleet there. At the worst, you can send a few warships over to get a feel for the situation!"
"Don't let humans lead you by the nose!"
After the communication was connected, before Aerith could speak, Rust had already sputtered a lot.
During this day, Rust also spent all kinds of anxiety. He was more eager for a definite answer than Aerith.
"Your Majesty, I have already led the fleet to set off, and we expect to arrive in less than three hours."
"But now a new problem has arisen, and I have to report to you immediately and seek countermeasures!"
Hearing this, Rust was obviously relieved.
if only...
It’s not that Garen is still alive. Whatever the other issues are, it doesn’t matter!
"Well, tell me, what is it?"
Nodding, Rust said to Eres.
"That's it, Your Majesty..."
It took a minute for Eres to briefly explain the situation, but Rusty frowned deeply.
The gate to purgatory is missing?
Since he has not seen the latest situation of Helawi, Rusty directly understood what Eres said about the entrance to purgatory in the corresponding coordinates, which was that the gate to purgatory was missing.
But then I thought about it, that’s not right!
The function of the Purgatory Gate is only to reinforce the Purgatory Passage and make it a permanent passage device. Even if it is gone for some reason, the passage will not disappear.
and...
What's with that suspicious look in Irisni's eyes?
Could it be that you suspect that I also deceived you?
Well, if Eris could read Rusty's thoughts at this moment, he would definitely say, I really doubt it...
"In this case, you should go over and confirm the specific situation first. After all, we have too little information now. In this case, it is easy to make a misjudgment!"
"His Majesty..."
"What's wrong?"
"The coordinates of the Purgatory Gate you gave me are definitely correct... right?"
After hearing Erris's question, Rusty's face suddenly darkened.
You guys, do you really doubt me?
"Eris, you are thinking too much. Regarding the coordinates of the gate to purgatory, if I lied to you, then why do you need to ensure that humans do not gain dominance of the small universe?"
"Isn't this unnecessary!"
Luster pursed his lips and said.
However, he wasn't too angry. After all, he knew very well that Aerith might be a good fighter, but in other aspects he was definitely a rookie, one who could easily be fooled.
Not coincidentally, after hearing Rusty's answer, Eris tilted his head slightly, and after thinking for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, if Your Majesty lied to me, then why did you need to explain so many things to me?
Did you really think too much?
"Okay, don't think too much. Let's confirm the situation when we get there, and then we'll figure out what to do next."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
------
Three hours later.
The Purple Empire fleet, which exited hyperspace, finally arrived about 1,000 light-years away from Hailawi. Even the location of the Federation fleet was no more than 10 light-years away.
When the warship scanned Helawi under the command of Eres, the operator was a little confused.
"Nothing was scanned. Is there something wrong with the equipment?"
"Okay, try it again with backup equipment!"
However, he was still disappointed the second time. He still found nothing. It was as if there was no Helawi at that coordinate, but only the dark and boundless cold starry sky.
"Marshal, the scan has been completed, but this is the case..."
"Huh? What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
"It's like this. I conducted an all-round scan of the area where Hailawi is located, but nothing was found. I thought it was a malfunction of the remote scanning device, so I used backup equipment, but it's still the same.
A result!"
"Is that so?"
Aerith answered very calmly, obviously without any shock.
After all, even humans can detect Helawi's big explosion and calculate its approximate power.
Then, as a tenth-level technological civilization, the Zi Lun Empire naturally has the same technology, and it can even be said that the technology is better!
Therefore, although it was just an inference, a group of top empire scientists from Emperor Star had analyzed various data and only came up with the same self-destruction inference as Chang Wei.
Now after being reminded by his subordinates, Eres immediately connected this abnormal situation with the previous big explosion.
After all, several major scientists in the Imperial Capital have said that an energy explosion of that magnitude is likely to directly destroy the entire Starry Sky Continent, and it would be such a destruction that not even the dregs would be left.
And this speculation has been confirmed at this moment.
"Don't worry about Helawi for now, conduct an all-round search within the scope of its original location to see if there is still life!"
"At the same time, focus on searching this coordinate to see if there is an entrance passage to the small universe?"
While giving the order, he sent the coordinates sent by Rust in his terminal.
"Report to the marshal that there is no life in the area of the original Hailawi!"
"At the same time, the existence of the entrance passage to the small universe cannot be detected at that key coordinate!"
A minute later, the answer came out.
But this made Eris frown deeply.
this...
What is going on?
Could it be that...the coordinates His Majesty Rust gave me were really fake coordinates?
