1714 Joining One Side Against The Other
But this wasn’t the time to do such a thing. He instantly issued the order to open fire, kill the enemies around and pave a safe path for the fleet to run away.
Who knew the fleets stationed here responded in weird fierceness and rage! The two enemies who gathered here already reached a ceasefire agreement. And now they guessed the identity of the annoying ships that appeared from that dead zone.
They mistook Hye to work for the Orange Sun space pirate. Having space pirates here and even illegal scavengers wasn’t a rare case in any war. So the spaceship’s crew knew what to do, and they instantly opened fire back, hitting tons of the Orange Sun’s fleet ships in the next few minutes.
Things escalated out of control, and the scale of this battle expanded fast. Hye used this chance and slipped through the tight encirclement that surrounded this area, finally having his chance to go away and watch from a far distance.
The battle was brutal, and he saw how it was common to see spaceships burn and get destroyed. Even the big spaceships got several big blows, ending up losing parts off their bodies alongside much of their crew.
Watching all this happening from the front seat was quite impressive, and yet very dangerous!
“Fire back, kill anything coming here, don’t leave any ship alone!” Hye kept shouting as dense waves of ships were flying around, attacking his ship. He knew he had no time to watch the ongoing war with ease. So he kept looking around, while moving the ship at a dangerous speed.
He didn’t know what he was doing, but those watching him saw remarkable twists and moves. He evaded tons of fire, while safeguarding his ship from getting ruined.
On many occasions, a dense wave of fire came towards him. Any inexperienced fighter would end up smashing his ship and losing it alongside his life. But Hye managed to pull through safely from each and every encounter he faced.
That was thanks to his old training of flying jets. Hye didn’t care about the things he did, and mainly focused on killing more ships, evading more fire, and watching what was going on around.
The fight was indeed crazy, but Hye was glad he managed to break away from the tight encirclement of the enemies. Once he secured himself in a zone, he started to observe and look for the Hescos ships.
“Listen up,” as he noticed the pattern which the Hescos ships had, he started to distribute his orders around, “you are going to use the targeting lock feature this time. Focus on the ships with black and golden ends, they are the ones belonging to the Hescos. And we’ll start shooting them down. Try to avoid harming any other ship belonging to this world’s forces, ok?”
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm He wanted to start implementing this strategy from now on. It was easy to guess how hard it’d be to take out his fleets from the safe haven to here without getting ambushed every single time.
So it was better to start tricking the Hescos, making them believe he was their enemies. As for the world’s forces, they’d slowly believe he was one of their forces.
Like this, the enemies he’d expect in the end would be only Hescos, and they’d be busy fighting the world’s forces next time. Per his orders, the Soulers controlling the weapons started to look for the ships he marked, and began shooting them down.
This was quite hard and very challenging at first. But after a few rounds, they started to get used to the lock down mechanism. Then it came down to differentiate between the two different forces, a task that took a few hours actually to get done.
During this time, Hye faced a tough time. As he asked his men to limit their firepower, both forces mistook this as a sign of him running low on ammo, or growing weak or exhausted his energy or something like that.
So it was expected for more enemies to show up, hitting his ship with everything they got. At the same time, there was the problem of not destroying many ships like before, ending up accumulating more of the enemies around, sticking to him like annoying flies.
Hye was tempted to shoot everyone and kill everything at many occasions, ending up dropping any thoughts about that eventually.
In addition to that, the world’s forces didn’t pick up the idea of Hye working on their side until a few hours later. They kept harassing him, coming in large numbers and tried to entrap him more than once.
If not for his great skill in flying the ship, he’d have ended up in a very tight spot. But in the end, the world’s fleets started to evade him, and he got to deal only with Hescos.
“Having one behemoth on my side feels great!” Hye saw how it made all the difference to have the world’s forces by his side. The Hescos wanted him dead, but they had to deal now with the world’s fleets and ships.
The temporary ceasefire crumbled and fell down thanks to what he did. And from there, it was a fun hunt for him.
The moment he’d face grave danger, like pumping into a bigger sized ship or a large gathering of small ones, he’d instantly turn around and make a run for his life. He’d hide into the middle of the world’s forces, ending up for the incoming enemies to get busy dealing with others.
He loved to stay on the side and hunt enemies from advantageous spots. It was impossible to do it before, but with the help of all these ships on his side, it was much easier than ever.
He wanted to go out, release his soulers there, hunt down ships and add them to his own collection. As he joined the world’s side, he realised the Hescos did deserve their name and reputation as the top one force in the universe.
