Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1031 Just Beginning

As an important diplomat of the Whirlpool Federation, Banning certainly couldn't accompany Alyssa on adventures. Everyone watched him board the warship of the Whirlpool Federation with their own eyes.

After being fully refilled with magic power, the Swan quickly left the port. After all, the space station, especially the port area, was severely damaged. Many ships were waiting to enter the port, and there were not many berths left.

What’s more, Alyssa wanted to chase the starship.

Since the fleet of the Rotating Water Federation has never seen Alyssa's starship, it at least means that she has not been treated as a filler, but this also means that the information obtained from the Rotating Water Federation is equal to 0.

So Alyssa decided to follow the information provided by Eunice. The first stop was a neutral galaxy about 88 ar away from here. She planned to wait there.

Because according to Eunice's information, Alyssa's starship will dock there in the near future, and then there will be a chance to take the starship back.

However, after leaving the port, the Swan was not busy with the jump. Long and Carlos stayed on the bridge to control the direction of the Swan, and Alyssa was called to the hangar.

Fang Lanyin was busy repairing the severed wire gun cable, but there was clearly still a piece of battleship wreckage piled in the hangar, and it looked like it had been burned.

Li Chengxi picked it up, and Villania was looking at it from top to bottom.

"What happened to this piece of wreckage?"

"It's a big problem."

Without turning back, Villania pointed to a slightly raised area on the wreckage.

There may have been some instrument there, but it has now been burned beyond recognition.

"That's a wave absorber. I'd recognize it even if it turned into ash. There's no doubt about it."

This thing is also installed on the Swan. Once it is turned on, it can greatly reduce the probability of being discovered by current radars. Combined with optical camouflage invisibility, it can even disappear from enemy radars.

This is also why pirates are able to bypass patrols. With just a little modification, any destroyer and warship of a smaller tonnage can be turned into a stealth warship.

"The design drawings for this thing have been retrieved. The only possible place where it could have been leaked is..."

"It must have been a knockoff by the Molybdenum Group, but I don't understand why it ended up in the hands of the pirates."

“It’s not that complicated actually.”

Alyssa says:

"I've received similar orders before, usually to help test new equipment or something like that."

Some instruments are illegal, but their manufacturers want to test them, so they entrust recyclers or even pirates to conduct tests in lawless star regions.

But what’s wrong is that there are too many of them.

If it is just for testing, one or two finished products are enough, and they will be dismantled after testing.

The pirates are able to bypass patrols because of wave absorbers, which means that every ship is equipped with them.

And this is not the first or second time. The pirates encountered in the Alan Star Chain were in a similar situation. They also circumvented the detection of the planetary defense team and launched a surprise attack at a very close distance.

This is clearly beyond the scope of testing.

When helping Villania get the data stick back, Alyssa heard a director of the Molybdenum Group talking to someone on the phone. At that time, he seemed to be talking about some data or something. (See Chapter 787 for details)
If what was being talked about at that time was the actual combat data of the absorber, it would seem to make sense.

In this case, the pirates who attacked today are likely to be directly related to the Molybdenum Group.

So, was there any need for them to attack a neutral space station? Despite the excitement of the fight, the pirates actually did not take away any substantial benefits from the space station, and they also lost several warships for nothing.

This is a neutral space station in a neutral galaxy. Its greatest value is as a cargo transit center. It really has no other meaning.

If the pirates didn't attack here for money, then what was it for?
Could it be... that the target is Banning?

The conflict between the Xuanshui Federation and the Red Maple Republic has not yet reached the point where a full-scale war is needed. It can only be regarded as a border friction now. Both sides are ready to start negotiations after the victory or defeat of the fleet is determined, and a result will be reached based on the war situation.

If the pirates are controlled by the Molybdenum Group, then the pirates attacked the neutral space station because of Banning, which means they don't want a negotiated solution?

Expand the war?
The main business of the Molybdenum Group is materials and ships. As the war expands, the demand in this area will naturally rise sharply, and the Molybdenum Group will be able to make a lot of money from it.

This logic makes sense, but how did the Molybdenum Group know that Banning was planning to negotiate with the Red Maple Republic here?

What's more, being attacked by pirates does not mean being attacked by one of the warring parties. It is somewhat unrealistic to expand the war by killing diplomats. At most, it can only be regarded as adding fuel to the fire. But if both sides do not want the war to spread, adding fuel will not start the war.

This doesn't make sense.

Alyssa then changed her mind and thought, what if the Red Maple Republic is not a monolithic group, for example, there are doves and hawks?

There is no doubt that the Molybdenum Group is more favorable to the pro-war hawks. After all, they can make a lot of money by fighting wars, and the hawks also need wars to gain military merits and expand their political influence.

If they were in the same group, it would make sense to attack a neutral space station.

But Alyssa's starship is obviously very close to the Red Maple Republic. What is the connection between all this?
And don't forget that the attack on Blackhand Port has yet to come to a conclusion. The Star Alliance Army, which is clearly there to maintain law and order, actually attacked a neutral colonial satellite. This in itself is very abnormal.

Originally, Alyssa thought she was just unlucky to be betrayed by her trusted subordinates, so she tried to find a way to take back the starship.

But when I connected everything that I had experienced since escaping from the starship, I suddenly felt that I was just affected.

An oversized conspiracy seemed to be brewing secretly in the depths of the void.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The next morning, Li Chengxi sat in the space capsule and turned on the computer as usual.

The Swan is still sailing. It will take about two or three days to reach the target space station. After that, it will be ambush and wait for the captured starship to dock. Before that, nothing major should happen.

The most troublesome thing was that Fang Lanyin was very busy, as she had to repair the Manta Ray and re-modify the Lionfish's ignition system.

Alyssa is still on the march. After almost half a month, they have not yet left the territory of Avarus. And they can't move too fast. After all, they have to wait for the troops sent by lords from all over the place. It is estimated that it will take one or two months to get out of the border and enter the Demon Kingdom of Tandron.

In places where the only means of transportation is walking, don't compare them with starships, there is no comparison.

However, this does not mean that Li Chengxi will be idle today and watch some anime to kill time, because Yang Yiyi and the others have finally arrived at Lingyun Temple.

Or to be more precise, we arrived at the town at the foot of Lingyunguan Mountain.

It has to be said that following the princess's motorcade is safe. Hundreds of palace guards patrol every day, making the surrounding area tight. Even if Anxiangtang wanted to take action, they would have no way to start.

After delivering the letter to Lingyun Temple, I will go to Luoxia Ferry to meet up with Ning Xianer.

Yang Yiyi felt that the matter should be over soon, but Li Chengxi didn't think so. Instead, he felt that delivering the letter was just the beginning...
