A body as large as a star stood in the void. His eyes looked into the distance and squinted like a human.
It was the same feeling as before. He felt that there was something there, and it was something that was a huge threat to him.
However, when he tried to sense it carefully, he could not find anything out of the ordinary.
Ipnos did not like this feeling. It was as if he was constantly being watched by a powerful existence, but he was unaware of it.
When Ola saw Ipnos' abnormal behavior, she stopped and looked in the direction of Ipnos' gaze.
Still, she did not find anything …
"Olga, change the route of the army!"
At this moment, Ipnos' voice was transmitted into Olga's mind. His tone was unquestionable.
"In that direction, at most ten light-years away. There must be something there. My senses can't be wrong!"
Olga was speechless. Why was her commander here again?
But she did not care. It was only ten light-years away anyway. Taking a detour would not delay anything. Instead, it would make her commander feel more at ease.
"I understand!"
With a thought, Olga had already transmitted the order to the leaders of each race. The direction of the entire army suddenly changed and turned in the direction of the Underworld Fleet.
-----
"Woo … woo … woo …"
The Herlous.
Accompanied by the flickering red light, the alarm rang throughout the entire warship.
"Commander, the target has changed direction and is heading straight for us!"
"Don't worry. The other party probably hasn't really discovered us. It's likely that they have only sensed something, similar to Emil's situation. The radar team immediately calculate their arrival time!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Soon, the radar team encountered a serious problem. What method did the target use to exceed the speed of light?
To be honest, the target did not seem to have displayed any method of exceeding the speed of light since the arrival of the fleet. It had been moving forward slowly.
At this speed, even if it was only ten light-years away, it would take the target almost forty years to reach the current position of the fleet.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yu asked as he looked at the radar team member who stopped in the middle of the operation and was in a daze.
"Commander, according to the target's current speed, it will take 38 days to reach us, but we can't rule out the possibility that the target has the means to travel faster than light. However, we lack the relevant data and can't make an accurate calculation."
Did the biological army of Ipnos have the means to travel faster than light?
The answer was yes!
Otherwise, even if he was given 100,000 years, he wouldn't be able to conquer the Wills Special Supercluster. He wouldn't even have enough time to reach the Boötes Constellation.
However, Lin Yu had no information on what kind of superluminal speed it was!
Well, regardless of what kind of superluminal means the other party had, the priority now was how to deal with Ipnos' actions.
Although Lin Yu told his subordinates not to worry and that the other party shouldn't have discovered him, it didn't mean that Lin Yu didn't make any preparations.
After all, always anticipating the worst-case scenario and preparing countermeasures were the basic qualities of a qualified commander.
However, if the target was really like Emil, who could only vaguely sense his presence and not really discover him …
"Immediately determine the target's original direction and the most likely destination!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Lin Yu, who suddenly thought of something, ordered.
"Commander, according to our calculations, the target's original direction doesn't have any directly accessible galaxies or planets, and if it continues to extend forward, there is only one possible destination!"
"Where is it?"
"The Boötes Constellation Void!"
The Boötes Constellation Void … was one of the biggest mysteries in human astronomy.
It wasn't until after capturing Emil that the Federation learned that the Boötes Constellation Void was blasted open by the Saint Valiant Empire using countless Zero Point Ordnance over 8,000 years ago.
Logically speaking, if the Planet Devourer wanted to conquer this supercluster, shouldn't it attack the galaxy groups or clusters outside the Boötes Constellation Void? Why would it go straight to the Boötes Constellation Void that was supposed to be empty?
Another point was, based on the size of the Wills Special Supercluster, even if the Zergs didn't defend it at all, it would take the Planet Devourer at least a few decades to conquer all of it.
But if that was the case, why would Aliya rush back regardless of everything?
Was there a connection between the two?
"Connect me to Jiang Sen!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Lin Yu made some immature guesses based on the mutual verification of some of the situations.
However, regardless of whether this guess was correct or not, it seemed that helping Aliya here and stalling the other party for half a year until the main force of the Zergs arrived seemed to be a very interesting thing to do.
"Commander!"
Soon, the communication was connected. Jiang Sen, who had led Li Lizi to attack the outpost where the Neutron Warstar was in the Andromeda Galaxy and was now an admiral who commanded a Nether B Squadron alone, appeared in Herlous's bridge.
"Jiang Sen, I have an important mission for you!"
"Please speak, Commander!"
"The Planet Devourer ten light-years away and the huge biological army it brought with it are heading in our direction. You should already know about this, right?"
"Yes, I already know. What do you want, Commander?"
"Yes. Although the target can't discover us, it seems to be able to vaguely sense our presence. I want you to lead the Second B Squadron here and stall them for at least half a year!"
Lin Yu nodded at Jiang Sen.
In fact, Lin Yu's idea was very simple. Didn't you want to go to the Boötes Constellation Void?
Didn't Aliya want to rush back as reinforcements?
Then things are simple. I'll use a B Squadron to restrain you here and stall you for half a year until Aliya arrives. Then, I'll sit and watch you guys fight each other. Isn't that great?
During this time, I'll lead the rest of the fleets to the Boötes Constellation Void to see what it was that attracted the Planet Devourer and forced Aliya to rush back to the Wills TE Supercluster Galaxy.
It was killing two birds with one stone!
As for how to stall the Planet Devourer and its biological army for half a year, wouldn't the other party leave after arriving here and finding nothing?
Lin Fan had already thought of a countermeasure for this. As long as …
