Chapter 1188: 1145, Discovery of the Shepherd in the Clouds Squad Chapter 1188: 1145, Discovery of the Shepherd in the Clouds Squad “What’s not right?” Shepherd in the Clouds furrowed his brow.

Sato Eriko answered with spiritual power, “The attire they’re wearing isn’t common for the Skrull people.

Based on the knowledge I have of Skru Star, the Raging Sun Empire and neighboring countries favor gold, yellow, and red colors, while the Lun Kete Alliance and its surroundings prefer purple, blue, and grey.

But there is a consensus that ‘white represents misfortune’, and aside from a very few ethnic groups that use white as the main hue for their clothes, the majority of Skrull people seldom wear pure white in their attire.”

“I see,” Shepherd in the Clouds nodded in understanding as he looked toward the Skrull people beneath the Fractured Ray Tower. “These people’s identities are indeed out of the ordinary!”

It was rare for Skrull people to wear white clothes, but the group before him was mostly dressed in white, and not just any white, but pure white.

Furthermore, this group was very strong; Shepherd in the Clouds estimated that there were about twenty or thirty of them in total. Their strengths were mostly Above Sixth Order, and there was no lack of Seventh Order powerhouses among them!

Such formidable power could definitely not come from some minor ethnic group. So who were these people?

“Captain, should we inform Boss Ke of this situation?” a subordinate in the team named Pastoral Song asked.

“It would be quite difficult,” Shepherd in the Clouds shook his head. “In this place, it’s very hard to send a message back, let’s just carry on with the mission as planned.”

“Understood.”

“Understood.”

Everyone responded in succession.

But just then, a European server player called Michelangelo’s Son suddenly had a sharp gleam in his eye.

He had been watching another direction, at a right angle to where Shepherd in the Clouds and the others were looking.

Now he urgently communicated with spiritual power, “Everyone, please wait a moment! Look in my direction, around 3 kilometers from here.”

Hearing the European server player’s message, everyone turned to look in that direction.

Shepherd in the Clouds had the highest level, so naturally, he could see the farthest.

Just as he turned his head, he realized why Michelangelo’s Son had alerted him.

Because at the location Michelangelo’s Son had pointed out, a new Fractured Ray Tower was already being constructed!

The construction of this tower had just begun, with hundreds of blue-uniformed Skrull craftsmen erecting a large black base, and nearby, several Skrull people dressed in pure white were giving orders.

There weren’t many people around this tower yet, and it was also quite far from them. If it were not for this European server player’s reminder, they would have completely overlooked this newly constructed Fractured Ray Tower!

“So… should we notify Boss Ke about this?” Michelangelo’s Son asked nervously with spiritual power.

This information was more important than anything about the white-dressed people.

“We probably should mention this, but wait a moment,” Shepherd in the Clouds said.

He daringly expanded his spiritual power coverage area, scanning the vicinity very carefully.

Since he was so cautious, none of the Skrull people became aware of his scan.

However, after his reconnaissance, his heart immediately became heavy, as heavy as a stone.

Based on his scan, there wasn’t just one new Fractured Ray Tower nearby.

Apart from that tower, Shepherd in the Clouds also scanned three abandoned ones, one under construction, and 8 to 9 that had just been marked with white lines but hadn’t started construction yet.

This indicated that the Skrull people were planning to construct many more Fractured Ray Towers.

Even if half of the towers being constructed were scrapped, they could probably still build about 4 to 5 of them.

“4 to 5 towers, the pressure on us would be immense!” Shepherd in the Clouds couldn’t help but sigh.

“What 4 to 5 towers?” The other 7 high-ranking mages did not understand what he was talking about.

Shepherd in the Clouds did not explain, instead he shared the images he had scouted with them.

After seeing these images, everyone immediately felt just as heavy-hearted as Shepherd in the Clouds.

The stress of a single ray tower was already significant; if they set up six or seven, the first line of defense would probably be unsustainable!

“President, we must notify Boss Ke, right? This information is very important.” The message from Pastoral Song’s spiritual power came again, her tone extremely serious.

“It is indeed necessary, even more important than our attempt to attack that completed tower!”

Shepherd in the Clouds said this as his gaze swept over the 7 Sixth Order mages.

Finally, his eyes landed on the girl, Pastoral Song.

“Xiao Tian, your strength is second only to mine, making you the most suitable to deliver this intelligence. Here’s what we’ll do: you’ll head back the way you came, return along the path to our defense line and inform Boss Ke of this message. We’ll wait here a little longer, and then take action two hours later.”

“This… this…” Pastoral Song’s face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly.

What she wanted to say was, “How can this be?”

She had already mentally prepared herself to die here, wanting to die gloriously alongside her comrades. To ask her to go back meant she would be saving her own life, right?

But she also knew the urgency of the situation and that returning with the message was of greater value.

So, using her spiritual power, she solemnly said, “Alright, I’ll head back now. Take care, everyone!”

“Take care.” Her comrades bid her farewell with their gazes.

By sending Pastoral Song back, they were, in a sense, sparing one life.

Besides, they didn’t lack the slight edge Pastoral Song’s contribution provided; without her, they should still be able to complete the mission with ease.

…

However, it was at this moment that everyone suddenly heard a voice heavy with mockery: “Gentlemen, why are you staying put without moving?”

The voice was speaking Mandarin, but the pronunciation was so odd that it was clearly machine-translated and then imitated.

And everyone immediately recognized that the voice had to be that of a Skru person!

“Who are you?!” The group of 8 were taken aback, their gazes involuntarily looking everywhere in confusion.

Who was this?

Who was spying on them from the sidelines!

“Me? You might not have heard of me, I am the Third Imperial Prince of the Raging Sun Empire, Haidun Rieyang!”

No sooner had the voice ceased than a figure of a well-mannered Skru person appeared in the sky right in front of Shepherd in the Clouds, dressed in pristine white clothing.

At the same time, six or seven other Skru figures emerged beside him, all clad in pure white as well.

They looked at Shepherd in the Clouds and his comrades with smiles, faces full of mockery.

Noticing the presence of Haidun Rieyang, nearby soldiers and high-ranking powerhouses all stopped to salute him and respectfully called out, “Third Imperial Prince!”

The White-dressed Skru people near the fracturing ray tower realized something was wrong over here, and after exchanging glances, they quickly headed towards this spot.

Haidun Rieyang, staring at the invisible Shepherd in the Clouds, said with a sneer, “Since a guest should be treated courteously, sneaking around invisible is hardly polite. Will you reveal yourselves, or do I need to drag you out?”
