Xiao Moshan did not bother hiding the news. "There are signs of Nest Star Beasts, but it is hard to say how things will develop."
"You should be careful," Hill said seriously. "Nest Star Beasts have quite a few Above Supreme. I hear having ten or twenty is perfectly normal."
Xiao Moshan smiled at that. "With our lineup, even thirty Above Supreme would not be enough."
"And that is only the strength of the warships. It does not include personal strength."
"Stop pretending to be relaxed," Hill said. He was older than Xiao Moshan, and he was no fool.
More importantly, the two were getting along fairly well now. He added, "With so many Above Supreme among the Nest Star Beasts, what if an Above Supreme appears?"
They were both smart people. There was no need to say the sort of nonsense meant to fool idiots.
"An Above Supreme... one?" A cold smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Moshan's lips. "Forget it. I am only Rank A. I will stop bragging."
Hill's eyes shifted. "What if there are two?"
"Are you not tired of scheming all day?" Xiao Moshan was already familiar with his tricks.
"There are three Division Level Ships. It will not be our turn."
The Second Fleet took a day to rendezvous with the main force, then headed deeper into the Nebula.
The three starships of Qu Jianlei's team were assigned to the rear-left flank of the main force, primarily tasked with standing watch.
This position was relatively safe, and there were other allied starships farther to the left.
It was a small favor to Hill, but the fleet formation was extremely spread out, so vigilance was still necessary.
Visibility inside the Nebula was poor, with celestial bodies of all sizes, gas masses, and strange energies
