Chapter 1220: The Ominous Battleship

However, before she could become strong, she died and was reincarnated on Earth.

Now, she was strong enough to not fear the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth, so telling Rafael about the treasure wasn’t a problem.

Rafael showed no surprise.

When he had sent Yevon and the others to investigate, he had already looked into the Vanquez family’s records and found no obvious enemies.

A family like the Vanquez family, with no apparent enemies—why would they be suddenly annihilated by the elusive Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth?

If they weren’t enemies, the Vanquez family must have had something that attracted them.

Other than the treasure, there was likely nothing else.

"Don’t worry, Ms. Amalia. I’ve already had people investigate this," Rafael said.

Amalia nodded. "You can narrow down the search. Since the three members of the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth specifically came from the Pleiades Star System and were quite powerful at the time, it means they received information from someone in the Pleiades Star System. But the information wasn’t accurate; they weren’t sure if the Vanquez family members were cultivators. That’s why they sent three people. However, how did someone far in the Pleiades Star System know about the Vanquez family? The person must have been in the Erythar Star System before, then taken a cargo ship to the Pleiades Star System. If this person is connected to the Vanquez family, it should be easier to investigate."

With her analysis, the scope of the investigation was significantly narrowed, making it easier to proceed.

"Ms. Amalia is right," Rafael said, his admiration evident. "I will have people focus on a more specific search immediately."

He was truly impressed.

Not only was Amalia powerful, but her mind was also incredibly sharp.

"Try to get results before we set off for the Pleiades Star System," Amalia instructed, her voice firm.

"Rest assured, Ms. Amalia. With the accurate scope, we should have results in just a few days," Rafael responded.

Amalia nodded and said as she walked away, "If you do find something, I won’t treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Amalia," Rafael said, feeling an overwhelming surge of excitement.

A few days later, the military forces, who had been away on campaigns, began returning in waves.

The war had gone very smoothly, with minimal losses and significant gains.

The transportation of the spoils was progressing at a rapid pace.

After two days, Miralles and the others envoys from Pleiades Star System finally sensed that something was wrong.

The situation in the Erythar Star System was truly unusual.

They knew of the strength of the aliens; even in the Pleiades Star System, forcing aliens into submission came at a heavy cost.

But looking at the returning ships, and hearing the cheers of the people of Veloxia, it seemed that the Erythar Star System hadn’t been significantly impacted by the aliens.

"Could it be that the Erythar Star System has truly turned things around?" Miralles frowned.

Jaime sneered. "You’re overthinking it. Even if the Erythar Star System has turned things around, it doesn’t mean they’re strong. The Erythar Star System is too low-level. It was never a main target for the aliens, so they definitely wouldn’t send their main forces. Compared to other star systems, there are likely very few aliens in the Erythar Star System."

"I’ve heard that the aliens sent fewer than ten million troops to the Erythar Star System, and that includes the alien army," Miralles said.

"So what’s there to be concerned about? They can only claim temporary victories. Once they really anger the aliens, they won’t be able to escape," Jaime said, still resentful about being injured by Kenny Lin.

It would have been fine if it were that simple, but Miralles felt like there was something they had overlooked, though he couldn’t quite place it.

It wasn’t until a few more days passed that the bright, clear blue sky was suddenly covered by a thick shadow, plunging the entire royal palace into darkness.

The three of them initially thought that night had arrived quickly, but then they noticed some distant light.

Stepping outside, they were shocked to see that a massive alien battleship had appeared in Veloxia’s sky without warning.

"This is bad, how did the alien battleship appear silently?" Miralles’s expression changed, thinking that Veloxia was under attack by the aliens.

"No wonder it’s felt so unnervingly calm. This must be the calm before the storm," Jaime laughed smugly. "The people of the Draconis Empire are even more foolish than I thought—an enemy battleship is at their doorstep, and they have no idea."

Even though he was on Veloxia, Jaime clearly wasn’t worried.

At worst, he could return empty-handed and report back.

"Wait a minute." This situation stirred Xiano from his sleep, and he finally became more alert. "The people of the Draconis Empire don’t seem worried."

When he said this, Miralles and Jaime noticed for the first time that the area outside the Gilded Fang Hall was unusually quiet.

At a time like this, with an alien battleship invading, there should be an immediate response, and the noise and atmosphere would directly reflect that.

The three of them stepped outside the Gilded Fang Hall and were stunned to find that the royal palace guards were behaving as usual.

The guards were standing at their posts, and people were moving around calmly.

What was going on?

This was completely different from the panicked scene they had imagined.

"Why are the three envoys out here? Are we going to welcome the heroes returning in victory together?"

Minister Sharif who is dressed in a suit, walked out of the hall.

Seeing the three of them, he smiled and extended an invitation.

Miralles and his companions were indeed eager to find out what was going on with the massive battleship in the sky and why the people of the Draconis Empire showed no fear.

So, they followed along.

Once they left the towering structures of the royal palace, their view became clearer.
