Tracking Marys

As the upper ranks of the Federal Parliament and the Military reached a consensus, they began to act.

The Shadow King responsible for monitoring the giants of the parliament and the Military sent the relevant information to the Shadow Emperor through a Communication Stone.

"Your Majesty, Morris has notified the Federation to begin a large-scale search of the Milky Way and its surrounding space. If they still can't find any trace of Marys within two or three months, they'll expand the search range to the entire Local Galaxy Cluster and the surrounding regions."

The Shadow Emperor informed Yi Chen of the result.

Yi Chen could not help raising his brows.

This outcome left him extremely satisfied.

Because this way, as long as Marys was not found, they could at least drag things out for another two or three months.

Once they failed to find Marys in the Milky Way and the surrounding regions, and expanded the search range to the entire Local Galaxy Cluster and its surrounding regions, it would be perfectly normal to get no results for two or three years, allowing them to stall for even longer.

The only problem was that once the search range spread outward, the warships of the Human Federation were very likely to discover clues of the Great Flame Empire over by the Heavenly Spirit Star System.

However, compared with the benefits, this trouble was not worth mentioning. ✯

What Yi Chen wanted most was to buy time—the longer, the better.

The longer he had, the less he would fear the threat of the Earth Tree Race.

"What should we do next?"

the Shadow Emperor asked.

"Find Marys and see if we can take control of him."

After weighing it over again and again, Yi Chen decided to take the risk and try.
