"You make it sound that way, and it does seem to be true.
The Beast Tamer Alliance's actions are still traceable.
As those Level 9 star beasts fled, they deliberately moved toward their home planet.
I'd thought they were trying to take shelter within the Armed War Stars' firepower network.
But now it looks more like they're fishing!
Those Level 9 star beasts are all bait.
