Chapter 1138: A Strategic Departure

Amalia also felt that they hadn’t truly resisted the aliens for more than a year.

It turned out that their timing had been just right.

If they had arrived any later, these planets might no longer exist.

Amalia’s eyes suddenly brightened, "So, you’re saying there must be a lot of abandoned, uninhabited planets in the Erythar Star System?"

"Yes."

This wasn’t a secret.

The aliens weren’t really just aimlessly destroying planets; they would only destroy a planet when necessary.

You must know, this universe has many star systems, and each star system contains countless planets.

If the aliens destroyed every planet they passed, no matter how much energy they had, it would never be enough.

Amalia’s mind immediately began to calculate.

"Let me speak frankly. You now have two choices. One is to leave with us, the other is to stay behind. I will leave the Cosmorite Mechas on the battleship for you, but the machine to produce them is only one. If I leave it with you, once the materials run out, you won’t be able to use them, and the aliens will eventually take them back."

Amalia saw the hesitation on the General’s face and couldn’t help but glance at Amalia.

He knew that Amalia had another solution.

"I can’t just abandon the people here, otherwise, the meaning of staying here in the first place is lost," Major General Rafiq said firmly.

Khalil couldn’t help but ask, "Ms. Amalia, is that not possible?"

"It’s not possible. There are too many people," Amalia shook her head.

The two of them spoke in a way that only a two of them could fully understand.

Khalil had been inside Amalia’s small world before, so he knew this as well.

He still harbored some hope, but didn’t expect the response to be so straightforward.

Major General Rafiq heard them speaking in riddles and didn’t ask further.

Since they hadn’t brought it up immediately, it was likely not feasible.

"Actually, not taking them along could be a good thing. As long as we intentionally leak the information about the battleship, the aliens will certainly not come here to trouble a group of unarmed humans. Frankly speaking, there are so many humans in the Erythar Star System, they don’t need to give up the battleship and come to Lumora to deal with just twenty million humans. If you are still worried, I can leave some of the Cosmorite Mechas behind to give them the ability to protect themselves."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Major General Rafiq said, "This is indeed a viable solution."

"So from now on, it will be up to you. Even if the aliens receive the news that the battleship has lost contact, it will still take them some time to get here, right?"

"The aliens have space-jumping technology. If they really want to come, it may not take them more than a few days. However, we can use the battleship to set up a decoy and delay their arrival." Major General Rafiq said.

Amalia suddenly thought of a way, "If that’s the case, leave it to us. We will manage to delay them for more than a month."

"Can it really be delayed for a month?" Everyone looked surprised.

Others might not be able to do it, but Amalia, who had had contact with Aelra, could easily achieve this.

Amalia didn’t elaborate, and no one pressed further.

A month is neither long nor short.

Under Major General Rafiq’s command, everyone immediately started taking action.

Amalia tossed the space badge containing ten thousand Cosmorite Mechas to them, then returned to the battleship with Kenny Lin.

"Is the plan you mentioned about pretending to be Aelra and communicating with the aliens?" Kenny Lin immediately guessed what Amalia had in mind.

"This is the only way. The aliens must have special communication channels or codes among themselves. When Aelra died, I wasn’t able to search his soul. It seems he knew about the existence of cultivators and didn’t give me the chance," Amalia said.

"Well, I can tell you that they do indeed have a special communication code, and only Aelra knew it. I learned about it from the head of the control room. Every time, he would hand over communication to Aelra. However, he didn’t know the code, so they could only wait for the aliens to contact them," Kenny Lin replied.

Amalia paced for a moment, deep in thought. "Actually, I have an idea."

Kenny Lin jumped onto a high platform, propping one leg up. "Are you thinking of going to the uninhabited planets that the aliens have wiped out?"

"You already know about that?" Amalia chuckled as Kenny Lin guessed correctly.

"I’ve told you before, I’m like a worm in your stomach. Whatever you think, I know," Kenny Lin said with a proud smile, raising an eyebrow.

"It’s not just those uninhabited planets; there are also some dead planets I want to check out. Otherwise, with my cultivation, I’m afraid that by the time we return to the Mystic Void Continent, my small world won’t grow much. This universe is actually my only chance," Amalia continued.

"Wherever you want to go, I’ll naturally follow you," Kenny Lin said.

Amalia didn’t hesitate. "Then it’s settled. You go release the humans who’ve been locked up, and I’ll go find Khalil."

With that, she left.

Kenny Lin had no choice but to head to the bottom of the battleship.

The humans locked in the battleship’s underground storage were initially skeptical, thinking he was an alien in disguise.

It wasn’t until he threw a few alien bodies in front of them and told them they could come out that they finally believed him.

Meanwhile, Amalia informed Khalil of her decision.

Before she could explain her purpose, Khalil volunteered to go with them.

"The battleship needs someone to control it. A ship of that size, you won’t be able to handle it alone. Plus, there’s equipment on the ship that can manufacture Cosmorite Mechas. We can assemble the mechas at the same time. There are Mecha Master on the planet, so we can borrow a few from Major General Rafiq, give them some direction, and let the machines do most of the work. It should be fine," Khalil suggested.
