A pincer attack! So that was what they meant!
Cold sweat broke out across Nie Yun's back.
Although he had no firm intelligence on the latter half of their route, the few scraps of information they had let slip made Nie Yun more than ninety percent certain that their target was the Solar System!
They were not planning to launch a pincer attack on the Shattered Star Region. They were lumping the Shattered Star Pirate Alliance, Twin Stars, and Earth Civilization together and "pincering" the whole lot!
As for how they had learned the Solar System's coordinates...
Did that even need asking? A quarter of Twin Stars had nearly fallen completely under their control. If they still could not gather intelligence on the surrounding regions, Kloros would hardly have deserved his reputation as a brilliant commander.
Within Twin Stars, the Kara Star Free Trade Zone's cooperation with the All Things Unity Society had already been made public. Intelligence on Earth Civilization and the "Ante Empire" was likewise easy to obtain.
Naturally, the Solar System's coordinates were no longer top secret. Nie Yun had long been mentally prepared for that.
The one thing Nie Yun had not anticipated was that a "shortcut" to the Solar System actually existed within the Wulf Empire!
Before "Space Jump" had materialized, the Second Prince had found another way to reach Nie Yun's core territory.
Thank goodness I found out in time. If I'd really left the Solar System in a couple of days, the Earth Defense Force's newly formed Interstellar Fleet might actually have let them pull off a raid on our home base!
"Lord Pirate King, is there anything we need to do?" Messiah seemed to recognize the gravity of the situation from Nie Yun's expression and could not help asking.
"No! No need!"
