Chapter 1709: Favor
"A mysterious organization? Have you received any concrete information about this mysterious organization?" asked Onyrons, the Elf King of Kaguya.
This mysterious organization is closely related to the Conqueror civilization within their universe.
In fact, Kaguya Elf King Onyons had already learned about the relevant information before.
The events that occurred in the Majas interstellar empire were related to this organization.
However, this organization is very mysterious, and so far, no detailed intelligence information has been obtained.
We know that such an organization exists, but we have never had any concrete clues about it.
The Elf King Onyne has been arranging for people to investigate this organization.
Now, information related to this organization has been obtained from the suspects being interrogated.
However, no concrete clues could be obtained.
This made the Elf King Onyneus very uncomfortable, as if an opponent was standing right in front of him, but he could not see the true face of this opponent at all.
Then this person repeatedly provoked you in front of you.
This feeling is incredibly devastating.
This caused the Elf King Onyx to lose sleep several times due to anxiety.
Because this was his duty; matters on the battlefield were the responsibility of the Flame Elf King Salamander, and he had no say in them.
He was even less able to intervene in the oath-taking °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° duel between the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire and the others.
Now, even his own little corner of the world is facing such a huge problem. How can he accept it?
Especially those from the proud Holy Elf Empire.
He couldn't accept the repeated blows he suffered.
"Is there really not a single clue?" Onyrons, the Elf King of Kaguya, asked, unwilling to give up.
The subordinate shook his head.
Onyx, the Elf King of Kaguya, sighed and nodded, "I understand."
After learning more about what was happening there, he left.
He returned to his flagship's bridge office, and after a moment of silence, he chose to set aside his arrogance and dial the number.
That was the contact information for the Imperial Guard who had previously sent him those lists.
The call was connected very quickly.
A video window appeared in front of Onyrons, the Elf King of Kaguya.
Opposite them was still the Imperial Guard representative dressed in the same manner.
"The fact that the Elf King Kaguya contacted me must mean that something is troubling you."
Let me guess.
Is it that mysterious organization in our universe that has long had close ties with the conqueror civilization?
You seem to have no clues about this mysterious organization, so you want to ask us.
"For the Elf King Kaguya to humbly ask you this question, it seems this problem has troubled you for a long time."
Hearing the teasing in their words, the Elf King Kaguya looked at them with a stern face and said, "If you have any clues, then I apologize for disturbing you."
"Although we don't have many clues here either, at least we have what you're looking for," the Imperial Guard said with a slight smile.
As expected of the intelligence department of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire, which is directly under that man, their words and actions are just as annoying as that man's.
But upon hearing that the other party had valuable clues, he still forced himself to be patient and looked at the other side.
The Imperial Guards stopped teasing the Elf King.
They began to explain the clues and intelligence they had obtained.
"Regarding this mysterious organization, we will begin our search using our existing intelligence network."
The main focus is on investigating large-scale resource mobilizations.
However, we found that this organization is very cautious; they do not purchase large quantities of supplies at once, nor do they transport them directly to their destination.
Instead, they will use very covert methods.
We suspect that they might purchase resources in small batches, or simply buy some resource mining areas themselves, mine them, and then transport them secretly to avoid detection.
In that case, it will be very difficult to find clues.
However, it just so happens that our Dragon Star Empire established a space trade alliance, and at the same time, in order to prepare for the Oath Duel, we introduced some negotiable terms.
We have partnered with many resource-producing regions, and we even invest in them, providing them with more advanced technologies to further increase their output.
It was at this stage that we caught some clues.
There are some small-scale resource mining areas where the developers are unwilling to accept our investment.
Upon hearing this, the Elf King Onyneus frowned slightly.
"As you know, that's what the situation was like back then."
All our cooperation terms are backed by the Dragon Star Empire.
Given the current relationship between the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire and the Holy Elf Empire, it's astonishing that someone would still refuse to cooperate at this time.
Furthermore, this cooperation itself will not harm too many interests.
There must be something fishy going on.
We conducted an investigation into this series of small and medium-sized resource-producing areas.
This investigation indeed uncovered some irregularities.
The raw materials produced in these production areas all have relevant invoices, and the buyers behind these invoices are genuine entities.
but!
We followed the clues to investigate the buyers, only to find that they had never actually purchased these supplies.
Some of them simply don't match in terms of quantity.
They only purchased 50 million star coins, but the order from the resource production area listed 200 million star coins worth of supplies.
This outflow and inflow don't match up at all.
Where did all these extra resources go?
Kaguya Elf King Onyne stared at the other party, waiting for him to continue.
The Imperial Guard smiled and said, "Things cannot simply disappear into thin air."
Even if they didn't use stargates, even if they used their own interstellar transport ships.
However, any comet that streaks across the sea of stars will leave a trail.
They are the same.
After our investigation, we found at least seven possible coordinate locations.
As the Imperial Guards spoke, they marked each star on the star map.
Kaguya Elf King Onyne looked at the locations marked on the screen.
He was astonished to discover that one of the locations was incredibly close to their Holy Elf Empire.
Right at the edge of their universe.
"See? These locations are all very special."
A place that isn't very secluded is a place with extremely high risk.
One of them is even right under the nose of your Holy Elf Empire.
Based on the clues we've uncovered, this location has existed for at least twenty years.
When Kaguya Elf King Onyne heard the news, he showed an expression of disbelief.
But looking at this location, it's definitely a place they wouldn't care about at all.
If an organization is indeed hiding there, and they operate discreetly, it might be difficult to find them.
"Now that you have obtained these coordinates,
"Haven't you taken any action yet?" Kaguya Elf King Onyne asked, frowning.
You may have misunderstood.
In fact, before this, we had guessed as many as a thousand locations.
However, these guys are very cunning. Whenever there is a risk of exposure, they will disappear without a trace, and those who cannot evacuate in time will all choose to commit suicide.
They are truly a group of fanatical heretics.
So after several failed searches, we decided not to alert them.
Instead, they chose to wait for an opportunity.
There was a very good opportunity before.
That was the arrival of the Conqueror Civilization's legion fleet, at this critical juncture, in order to coordinate an attack from within and without.
This organization will inevitably need to contact the outside world, and the scope of such contact will be very wide, which gives us the opportunity to determine their coordinates.
That's how we got these accurate coordinates.
In order to capture them alive.
We certainly can't launch an attack openly; otherwise, all we'll get are corpses.
Onyx, the Elf King of Kaguya, nodded knowingly; he had also discerned the command.
Many of the peripheral members of that organization are fearless in the face of death, so it goes without saying how crazy the members inside the organization would be.
Therefore, in order to capture some key figures.
We decided to use a covert capture method to ensure we could capture them alive.
Upon hearing the words of this Imperial Guard, the Elf King Onyne nodded in agreement, saying, "What you did was indeed very thorough."
When do you plan to launch your operation?
Is there anything we can do to cooperate with?
As he spoke, Kaguya Elf King Onyons stared at the other party.
The Imperial Guard glanced at the time, then smiled and said, "It's about time."
As for where I need help...
The Imperial Guard looked at the Elf King Onyne across from her and said, "In order to seize the time and improve efficiency."
We will interrogate all the suspects we apprehend at the nearest location.
Therefore, could we borrow some of the Holy Elf Empire's interrogation rooms to interrogate suspects who cannot be apprehended around the Holy Elf Empire?
Upon hearing the other party's words, the Kaguya Elf King Onyne looked at them with some surprise: "You interrogated the people you captured in our territory. You trust us that much?"
"You know, this is intelligence you obtained; it's like you're just handing it over to us for nothing!"
The Imperial Guard shrugged and said, "We're all in the same boat now, so let's not be like family."
Whether on the battlefield of vowed duels or on the battlefield against conqueror civilizations, we cannot afford to lose.
We naturally need to trust each other, and the first point of mutual trust is the sharing of information.
So, I don't think this kind of cooperation is anything special?
Or is it that Her Majesty the Elf King Kaguya does not consider us friends?
The mockery directed at the opposing Xiaolong Interstellar Empire Imperial Guard.
The Elf King Onyne was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your trust in us."
Our people will cooperate with your personnel during the interrogation. I will arrange everything. You can let me know if you need anything.
I will do my best to cooperate and meet your needs.
The Imperial Guards didn't seem to care that the Elf King Onyne hadn't directly answered their question.
She smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "I understand."
This video conference has now ended.
"Captain, you're just giving away the intelligence we worked so hard to obtain."
The Kaguya Elf King still seemed unconvinced.
"I should have known better than to tell them!" said a Jinyiwei adjutant standing nearby, displeased.
The Imperial Guard casually remarked, "This intelligence information will also be shared with others in the future."
It's better to take it out now than to take it out later.
A meal is completely different whether you take it out when you're hungry or at a regular mealtime.
Although he didn't say anything, he knew in his heart the affection we shared.
As for whether he will repay us in the future, only the future knows.
At least we only provided some intelligence information in advance; what's the big deal about this investment?
Sometimes, we can't just look at the current situation; we have to take a longer-term view.
Although we are merely the Imperial Guards operating in the shadows for His Majesty the Emperor.
But at the same time, we must also consider His Majesty's thoughts; we are His Majesty's alter ego.
The adjutant suddenly realized.
Meanwhile, in the darkness of the universe.
The Imperial Guards of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire have begun to move quietly.
In the outer reaches of the Holy Elf Empire's universe.
There's nothing here, just a desolate wasteland.
There is no sunlight, no planets, and no guidance facilities.
If you're not very familiar with this area, it's difficult to find your exact location in this pitch-black airspace.
At this moment, a T6 Silent Ghost-class light interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is here.
There was a faint signal on the anti-stealth radar; a starship, operating under full stealth, was sailing in this airspace.
Once the interstellar warship entered a certain area, it completely disappeared.
"Disappeared again!"
"This is the thirteenth starship in the airspace just ahead." The vice-captain stared in astonishment at the scene.
"Our anti-stealth radar is state-of-the-art, at the T6 level of technology."
It's so powerful that even our radar can't detect it.
The captain stared at the empty airspace in the distance and said calmly, "Don't forget who our opponent is."
They are the Conqueror Civilization, which is suspected to be a near-T7 technological civilization, and these guys have joined forces with the Conqueror Civilization to become their hidden sentries left in our universe cluster.
Naturally, it possesses some near-T7 level technology.
I suspect this is one of them.
However, there should be some restrictions, otherwise how would we be able to see those interstellar warships at sea?
I suspect they have a base built in this airspace, and a fixed shielding device that can completely hide this airspace.
This device may be too large to move.
It's impossible to install it on a starship, so we can scan their starships but not this airspace!
The vice-captain suddenly realized, his eyes lighting up as he said, "If only we could find this technology and apply it to our starship..."
Wouldn't that take our combat capabilities to the next level?
