False Court
Chapter 734 Intuition
Three days later, Su Mo's fleet was speeding through the Haiyuan Star System.
At this time, they were completely far away from the main battlefield.
Sun Duoxiang and the others had been scratching their heads for the past few days, racking their brains trying 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 interception of the Imperial fleet. We won't be able to participate then."
"I know."
Su Mo nodded in response.
Sun Duoxiang coughed and squeezed out a smile at Su Mo. "Boss, you said they're fighting so fiercely over there. Even if we're afraid to join the battle, there's no need to run so far away, right?"
"Get lost, am I that kind of person?"
Su Mo retorted unhappily.
"Then boss, why are we flying this way?"
Sun Duoxiang couldn't figure it out at all.
Mo Bake also curiously chimed in, "Lord Su Mo, are you afraid that people will find out we're slacking off? So you deliberately pulled the fleet away so no one will gossip about us?"
"Can't you guys be a little smarter? If that was the case, why would I even gather you together?"
Su Mo sighed helplessly.
"Uh."
Sun Duoxiang and the others scratched their heads, still unable to understand.
"Alright, don't worry about it so much. Sun Duoxiang and Mo Bake, instead of worrying about this, you should restrain the people below you. Don't let anyone leak our movements."
Su Mo cautiously reminded the two.
"Boss, don't worry, before the battle, I confiscated all the communication devices of everyone. And the ships have shielding devices activated. Only the command room can send signals, no other area can."
Sun Duoxiang patted his chest and guaranteed.
Mo Bake coughed and said, "Lord Su Mo, don't worry. I told my subordinates that we're going to smuggle goods. And the communication devices have also been confiscated. They don't know anything."
"Okay, but don't be careless."
Su Mo nodded with satisfaction.
Xiao Wen, who was standing to the side, pondered for a few seconds, then looked up at Su Mo and asked calmly.
"Su Mo, do you think an Imperial transport fleet is moving in the opposite direction?"
"You're the smart one. I suspect the Empire might be feigning one thing while doing another." (Mingxiu zhandao, andu chencang - lit. repairing the plank road openly while sneaking through the Chencang pass, meaning to act one way while planning something else in secret.)
Su Mo nodded.
"Ah?"
Sun Duoxiang and the others looked incredulous and couldn't believe it.
"Boss, that's too ridiculous, right? What idiot would go this way?"
"Whether it's right or not, we'll see soon enough."
Su Mo said calmly.
"Generally, no one would choose this route. Going in the opposite direction, then turning around to go to the front line, would double the voyage. Not only would the difficulty of transportation skyrocket, but the cost would also double, and it would take several times as long? How can you be so sure your judgment is correct?" the low voice of Forged Lord·Devourer sounded in Su Mo's mind.
Su Mo replied in his mind, "Intuition!"
Forged Lord·Devourer fell silent again after hearing this.
Xiao Wen said to Sun Duoxiang and the others, "Alright, everyone, stop talking. Su Mo definitely has his own judgment, we just need to trust him."
"Of course I trust the boss, I've never doubted him. Sun Duoxiang has always been the one doubting. I'm the boss's most loyal little brother."
Mo Bake immediately seized the opportunity to lick his face and flatter him, while stepping on Sun Duoxiang.
Sun Duoxiang's face darkened, and he also said, "No way, of course I support unconditionally."
"Oh, I heard that."
"You..."
......
Su Mo ignored the two's argument and gazed calmly at the dark starry sky ahead.
Time passed bit by bit.
Five days later.
The Yuanfeng fleet was still moving at high speed. Su Mo stood on the observation deck, looking at the distant starry sky.
Sun Duoxiang was lying on the chair next to him, yawning, drool almost flowing out.
"Boss, have you seen any sign of the enemy fleet?"
"Can you ask fewer questions? If the boss sees the enemy fleet, he'll naturally notify us."
Mo Bake retorted unhappily.
Sun Duoxiang was too lazy to argue with Mo Bake. He had really argued enough these days.
Su Mo didn't answer Sun Duoxiang's question, just quietly watched the distant starry sky.
Xiao Wen and Chen Shan didn't say much either, they continued to move forward, although they also felt quite confused.
"Are you sure your intuition is correct? There hasn't been any discovery so far."
Forged Lord·Devourer said in a low voice.
Su Mo was a little surprised to hear Forged Lord speak again. Forged Lord rarely spoke three times in a row, seeming a little impatient, so he asked calmly.
"Are you a little too concerned?"
"I want energy stones. There must be processed standard energy blocks in the Imperial army's escorted supplies."
Forged Lord·Devourer replied in a low voice.
"I understand."
Su Mo nodded slightly to show that he understood.
......
One day, two days, three days...
Ten days later, Su Mo was still standing on the observation deck, looking at the distant starry sky.
The starry sky was still bright, but there were no surprises.
"It's over, I haven't seen a single person in half a day. It's too late to return now to participate in the battle. Boss, we're not really out here for a pointless stroll, are we?"
Sun Duoxiang said with great regret as he flipped through the images uploaded on the Star Ring Forum. The battle over there was already nearing its end.
Of course, the so-called end of the battle didn't mean that the Imperial army or the Alliance legions had been wiped out.
It mainly meant that the Imperial army's transport ships had been almost completely destroyed and looted.
Of course, a small number of transport ships had broken through, but it was useless.
Once the Imperial army's transport ships were completely sunk or looted, there was no need to continue fighting to the death.
Mo Bake on the side secretly patted his chest, with a look of relief. He had been watching the tragic battle images uploaded on the forum recently, and he was also terrified.
He was a little glad that they hadn't found the Imperial fleet. It was like getting a dog's life back. If they just ran around for nothing, so be it.
Xiao Wen said to Su Mo in a low voice, "We've already flown very far. The radar scanning device still hasn't found any enemies. Could it be the wrong direction, or a misjudgment?"
Su Mo also had a bit of a headache. He was also starting to doubt it. Could it be that he had made a mistake?
They had indeed traveled extremely far.
Su Mo's expression also began to change constantly.
"It's not that I'm questioning your judgment, but if we continue to pursue, it might not make sense. And in order to participate in this battle, we were all lightly equipped, only carrying a large number of weapons. We didn't prepare too much fuel and supplies, after all, we weren't planning for a long voyage."
Xiao Wen explained to Su Mo.
