When the detector's testing range was turned up to its maximum, the entire Energy Detector instantly went dark.
Although Zhang Fan was somewhat disappointed, he felt more relieved than anything-relieved that Varagon's fleet had not come for the Time Control Device's energy source.
But as Zhang Hongjun had said, even if it was not the Time Control Device's energy source, it was still an enormous concentration of energy. Varagon surely had some secret he could not afford to reveal.
Zhang Fan immediately sent out {Ghost Shadow Bugs} to scout. But given the formation of Varagon's warships, the {Ghost Shadow Bugs} could only scout the perimeter. Any farther in, and the concentrated barrage would blast them to ash.
Pangu said in confusion, "This isn't Varagon's territory. It's an area under Plague's control."
Hearing that, Zhang Fan mused, "What is Varagon doing in Plague's territory?"
"Either he discovered Plague's secret when he killed him, or it's just as I suspected: Plague has taken control of Varagon, and some immensely powerful weapon is hidden here."
Pangu drew the Giant Axe and asked, "Overlord, their fleet may be enormous, but with our troops hidden inside it, we have every chance of destroying them by attacking from within and without."
Zhang Fan immediately stopped him. "No. Notify Mimipa and Zhang Hongjun. Have them attack Varagon's Homeworld directly."
"Overlord, are you trying to lure him away?"
Zhang Fan nodded. "They definitely can't just carry off something containing that much energy. But if his Homeworld is in danger, Varagon won't stand by and do nothing. He'll have to return to defend it."
"But what if he simply doesn't go back?"
"Wouldn't that be even better? Once Mimipa and the others occupy Varagon's Homeworld, no matter how powerful this thing is, he'll have to use it against Mimipa."
