Chapter 1626 - 1626 Gift Snatched
1626 Gift Snatched
Due to the fact that the three enterprise-level battleships given to Chu Nan by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce had to cross the Sagittarius Arm and it would take a long time to prepare, although Chu Nan had made this request to the Noctem Chamber of Commerce nearly half a year ago, it had only been a few days since the Noctem Chamber of Commerce prepared these three enterprise-level battleships and set off to send them to the Earth Federation.
Before Chu Nan returned to the Earth Federation, he had received news that the three enterprise-level battleships and the accompanying fleet had successfully arrived outside the Orion Arm and entered a location less than 5,000 light-years away from the Earth Federation through the official channel of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce.
According to their speed, when Chu Nan’s leave ended and he left the Earth Federation, the three enterprise-level battleships would arrive at the Earth Federation at the same time. The Noctem Chamber of Commerce even proposed to let him witness the handover ceremony of these three enterprise-level battleships before he left.
However… these three enterprise-level battleships suddenly disappeared!
Ten days later, Chu Nan appeared in an unknown universe near the galactic center of the Earth Federation and the top of the outside spiral arm.
He looked at the nameless universe that was empty in the spaceship and could only see specks of starlight flickering in the darkness and still felt that it was unbelievable.
According to the information given by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, the three enterprise-level battleships and the entire fleet suddenly lost contact when they passed through this Cosmic Realm and disappeared without a trace.
This was something that Chu Nan found very difficult to understand. Logically speaking, that was the top-notch enterprise-level battleship built by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. It was the peak work of human technology that was enough to face Star-Grade Martial Artists head-on. Coupled with the fleet formed by the other battleships, its combat strength was even enough to surpass some small countries in the Milky Way.
Such a powerful combat strength had actually disappeared without a trace. This was too ridiculous.
Such a powerful combat strength had actually disappeared without a trace. This was too ridiculous.
However, the Noctem Chamber of Commerce did not receive any message. These three enterprise-level battleships had really disappeared.
“About that… Elkart, tell me the truth. Did a mole appear in your Chamber of Commerce again?” Chu Nan quickly calculated all the possibilities in his mind and turned to look at Elkart beside him before asking bluntly.
As the middleman who contacted the headquarters of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce immediately after Chu Nan made this request and as the person with the best relationship with him in the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, the moment he lost contact with these three enterprise-level battleships, Elkart rushed to this Cosmic Realm to investigate.
Now that he heard Chu Nan’s question, he smiled bitterly and pointed at his head.
“As an outstanding data analyst, I can answer that the possibility of this happening is only 4.87%. Although I can’t completely deny it, from the perspective of normal deduction, this is almost impossible.”
“No, I feel that since there’s such a high probability of 4.87%, it’s already very exaggerated.” Chu Nan was still very rude, “Don’t forget that your Chamber of Commerce has a record in this aspect.”
Elkart helplessly glanced at Chu Nan, “Don’t treat this small probability as the norm just because you’re unlucky to have encountered a small probability event. This time, the Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters values the promise they gave you very much. The matching combatants on these three enterprise-level battleships have been carefully chosen and are definitely loyal. The possibility of a traitor appearing is extremely low. Moreover, even if one or two traitors appear, it’s impossible for them to affect the entire fleet and prevent them from even releasing any information. You can’t think that thousands of people in the entire fleet have betrayed us, right?”
Chu Nan frowned and thought for a moment before feeling that this was impossible.
“Then what’s going on?”
“Aren’t we investigating?” Elkart sighed, “In the current situation, compared to the mole factor you guessed, the other possibility is supported by more data.”
“What is it?”
“That is, the enemy mobilized combat strength that far exceeded this fleet in a row and instantly sealed off the information transmission of the entire Cosmic Realm. Then, they defeated the fleet’s defense in a short period of time and completely destroyed the entire fleet.”
“That’s unless those enemies are crazy.” Chu Nan immediately retorted, “What’s in it for them to mobilize such a powerful combat strength just to destroy these three enterprise-level battleships? Moreover, you just said that no battleship fragments were discovered in the entire Cosmic Realm, nor did you detect the aftershock of the energy vibration. It can be seen that such a high-intensity battle did not happen here. In my opinion, the possibility of a mole is higher.”
Elkart rolled his eyes, “It seems that you’ve overestimated the combat strength of the enterprise-level battleship. Although I’m very willing to brag about how powerful the combat strength of our Chamber of Commerce’s top-notch battle is in front of you, you’ve forgotten a very important factor. Only three have been sent over this time. Even if the combat strength of an enterprise-level battleship can be comparable to or even surpass a Star-Grade Martial Artist, three are only equivalent to three Star-Grade Martial Artists. What if the enemy mobilizes more than ten Star-Grade Martial Artists in a row?”
Chu Nan was stunned before he shook his head.
“How is this possible? Who can send out more than ten Star-Grade Martial Artists in a row? Moreover, they’re attacking the fleet of your Noctem Chamber of Commerce. Are they so unafraid of death?”
“No, there’s really such a faction who dares to do this, and they have a good reason to do so.” Elkart said seriously, “Those guys from the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance.”
Chu Nan was stunned again. He thought for a moment and shook his head again.
“It’s still impossible. This is the Orion Arm. If the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance sends more than ten Star-Grade Martial Artists over in a row, how can they not reveal anything? It can’t be that you can’t obtain any information, right?”
A meaningful smile appeared on Elkart’s face.
“What if there’s another powerful enough strength to cooperate with them?”
“Who are you talking about?” Chu Nan asked in surprise. Then, when he saw the strange expression on Elkart’s face, a thought flashed through his mind and he suddenly understood.
To be able to completely seal the news in the Orion Arm and allow more than ten Star-Grade Martial Artists from the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance to enter and cooperate with other battles to eliminate the three enterprise-level battleships and the other accompanying battleships silently, there was only one possibility. It could be another super faction that had the strongest strength in the Orion Arm and extremely strong control over the entire Orion Arm.
Of course, there was only one such super faction, and that was the Declan Empire.
