章節 409: Two Forces

*Whoosh!*

With Duabi and the others onboard, the Ladybird-class light cruiser sped off into space, heading toward the deep-space outpost.

This time, the number of insectoids Uti had assigned to him was rather paltry. Aside from him and the one-armed Laresh, only Yadan was combat capable. Even the guards he had accompanying them did not number over twenty. Though Mingjing was a disciple of High Priest Ryun and should have decent cultivation, she was ultimately a human and of a very young age at that, so Duabi was not particularly at ease having her around.

Uti's explanation toward this operation was to prioritize discretion. There was a very high possibility that the enemy had managed to infiltrate the insectoids' internal network, so even the military network might not be too secure; as such, by ensuring that this hunting squad remained few, they could better reduce the chances of information getting leaked.
