"Lord Borton..."
On the other side, Borton Faction had been growing increasingly anxious these past few days, having received no word from Raine.
They had arrived here with great fanfare, mobilizing nearly their entire faction, only to run headfirst into a major faction no weaker than their own—not to mention the enormous python coiled around their destination.
Wasn't the central figure in Raine's intelligence report merely a Level Six Little Lord?
At that moment, the quartermaster responsible for Borton's logistics stepped forward and reported, "The effects of cryosleep have been declining day by day, while consumption keeps increasing..."
Borton frowned slightly at that.
The cryosleep he referred to concerned the state of the living planets he had brought with him. In his own star region, those top-tier living planets were in a deep dormant phase. For such enormous lifeforms to remain dormant, the requirements were extremely demanding. Environmental settings, energy allocation, and specialized mental-soothing masters were all indispensable.
During this long-distance expedition, keeping them in low-consumption sleep was clearly unrealistic. For the sake of logistical supplies, they had adopted Deep Cryosleep Technology before the great battle!
However, those creatures had extremely high resistance, and cryosleep technology could not support them for long. Judging from the quartermaster's reports these past few days, in another few days, those creatures would probably enter a state of complete awakening.
By then, the consumption and the number of people required to control them would be on an entirely different scale...
But now that he was stuck here, he could not make any major move. Leaving aside everything else, he did not dare act rashly against that unfathomable mechanical faction opposite him.
He had hurriedly asked intelligence personnel to investigate their information a few days ago. They were a ruthless bunch!
