Just as Yu Lian had seen, his "archenemy," Sobyak, was leading a fleet that included a dragonship and a specialized dreadnought at high speed along the main route from Wanfan to the Shengyuan Sector. The way ahead was clear, and they charged forward with the ferocity of a raging gale.
That was hardly surprising. When the Sobyak Fleet was first formed, it had been made up of elite, high-speed warships. There weren't many of them, but every ship was in excellent condition and staffed by a lean, capable crew—the perfect force for rapid maneuvers.
They were operating within their own country, after all. All they had to do was charge ahead at full throttle.
Besides, the Sobyak Fleet was now stronger than ever. The fleet's experts in formation maneuvers included its occult consultant and chief navigator, the Starseer Lady Seredel; its chief of staff, Viscountess Serulu; its deputy commander, Major General Sobo; and the captain of its flagship, Colonel Pegase. Veterans like Hatcher and Aslon were also there to make sure every task was carried out.
So even during this forced march, not a single warship fell behind.
It seemed that everyone in the Sobyak Fleet was determined to make up for all the time they had lost at Twilight Gate.
Yes, even while on the march, Lieutenant General Jaeger Sobyak's main job wasn't commanding the fleet. He was still undergoing this drawn-out "loyalty review."
Jaeger Sobyak sat in his office aboard the Royal Hare, gazing at the judge on the screen, who wore a black robe and a faceplate. His eyes were cold and indifferent, and his expression was stiff as a puppet's.
*Honestly, if Brother Yu Lian weren't already fighting his way into the Celestial Domain, you black crows would have had me killed by now, wouldn't you?
