My Battleship Can Receive Infinite Upgrades - Chapter 39

After listening to the intelligence officer’s report, Sylvester Li picked his ears and said disdainfully, “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard such a cold joke.”

“Baron Darkmoon wants to attack the direct descendants of the Sylvester family. I was worried that I wouldn’t have an excuse to cause trouble for the Ardent Fire Empire.”

“Don’t worry about the rest. According to the intelligence, the only suspect is Baron Darkmoon’s merchant group, right?”

The intelligence officer nodded slightly. “According to all the intelligence we have collected, we have analyzed it for a long time and have unanimously concluded that Lorne is dead. The probability of Thunder Flash sinking is the highest.”

“Under this premise, the probability of Baron Darkmoon’s Ninth merchant group and the local forces in the mining area finding the remains of Thunder Flash is the highest.”

“It’s also possible that the local forces found the remains of Thunder Flash and handed it over to Toya.”

“After all, the Ninth merchant group is closer to the Baron Darkmoon, so they can get more resources. Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that Sylvester Dan and Sylvester Da got their hands on it first.”

Sylvester Li waved his hand. “We don’t need to think about Dan. If that guy really got something, he would definitely come to me to show off and provoke me. It’s impossible for him to be so quiet. I can also rule out Da. I’ve someone by his side. I know everything.”

“As for the local forces in the mining area, although they don’t have a Spark battleship, we have to be on guard. Spend some money to buy a few core members and ask around. I need more specific information, not your speculation. The money I gave you is for work, not for your own use.”

Cold sweat broke out on the intelligence officer’s forehead, and he did not dare to refute.

Upon seeing that he was so nervous, Sylvester Li did not continue to question him. He knew that the intelligence office had embezzled a small amount of money, but he did not care. If Li was satisfied with his work, then the money would be considered as a bonus.

However, at this critical moment, he still dared to give Li vague answers. Li should give him a beating, right?

If he still did not wake up after this beating, or if he still could not satisfy Li, then there would not be a next time.

“Are you sure that there is really a high-quality module?”

The intelligence officer’s body trembled, and he quickly nodded. “That’s right. Through some special methods, we verified several members of the Ninth merchant group. The conclusion we came to is that there is indeed a high-quality module.”

“It’s just that we haven’t seen the real thing, so we can’t be sure whether it is from the Thunder Flash.”

Sylvester Li grinned. “Good, at least you guys are still useful. No matter where the high-quality module is, as long as it’s there, it’s mine.”

“This mission is led by Dan. If the mission fails, he has to take responsibility. We’re here to rob him. It doesn’t matter if it works or not.”

“You guys start analyzing the intelligence and get the combat department to prepare. Give me a battle plan for the merchant group tonight.”

The intelligence officer reminded him nervously, “Commander, Baron Darkmoon is a local force. He can call for reinforcements at any time and ask for the help of the space fortress and patrol fleet. The escort force he brings is not weak either. The probability of our battleship achieving the desired result is too low.”

Sylvester Li’s face instantly darkened. He was very unhappy. “How can a mere local force call for reinforcements?”

“The space fortress is a little troublesome, but you guys won’t find a place further away. Are you just perfunctorily doing it?”

“After we succeed, we’ll directly leave the Ardent Fire Empire and return to the the Sylvester galaxy. Do we still need to care about the consequences? What kind of protection will the merchant group deploy in their own territory?”

“This mission is led by Dan. Right now, he’s the one who’s in a hurry. Won’t you guys consider him and use him to lead the charge?”

“A bunch of idiots. Why am I just wasting resources on all of you?”

The intelligence officer lowered his head and looked at his feet. He only raised his head carefully when there was no sound.

upon seeing that Li’s anger had somewhat subsided, he said softly, “Baron Darkmoon’s Ninth merchant group has 12 escort battleships. Among them, there are 2 LV10 Spark battleships, 4 detection spaceships, 6 battleships, 3 assault ships, and 8 large transport ships

“The suggestion from the combat department is to see if you can come forward and reach a certain level of consensus with Dan so that we can temporarily cooperate and fight together.”

2 LV10 Spark battleships, plus more than 10 ordinary battleships, and some support from the local forces.

Such strength was enough to defeat a LV12 Spark battleship. Even if it was the LV15 Spark battleship, both sides would suffer heavy losses.

If one of the 2 sides, Dan or Li, went up alone, they would definitely not be able to take it down and would even be injured.

When Li heard about the defensive power of the Ninth merchant group led by Baron Darkmoon, he was also shocked. If he insisted on attacking them, it would only be easy for Dan.

Although what he said before was wrong, Li would not admit it.

“Luckily, the combat department is still useful. You can leave now. I will personally deal with the matter of tricking Dan into working for us for free.”

After waving his hand to let the intelligence officer leave, Li pondered for a moment and called Dan.

The communication channel was connected and Dan looked at him expressionlessly.

“What do you want from me?”

Li did not reveal his purpose immediately but laughed out loud.

“Hahaha, you don’t seem to be in a good mood. You haven’t found the remains of the Thunder Flash yet, right? You are indeed a useless thing. The family shouldn’t have wasted resources on you. What a pity. Have you thought about what punishment you will face when you return? If you continue like this, how are you going to fight against me?”

The corner of Dan’s mouth twitched. His hands behind his back were tightly clenched. His face was filled with anger.

He was frustrated because Li was right. Li was mocking him. If it were not for the family rules, he would not even pick up the call.

“You didn’t find anything too, right? So, why are you calling me?”

Li laughed mockingly and raised his head. “I didn’t find anything, but I already have the specific information. I can bring it back to the family immediately. Are you ready to receive punishment?”

Dan’s expression changed again and again. When he thought of the punishment he would get, his expression became even uglier.

He wanted to ask something, but Li waved his hand impatiently and said, “To tell you the truth, I already have the information. The Thunder Flash was destroyed, but its module was taken by someone. It’s in the Ninth merchant group led by Baron Darkmoon. They’re strong. With my current strength, I can’t take it down.”

“If you cooperate with me, I’ll provide you with more information and support, but you have to lead the battle. I will choose the loot first and take 80% of it.”

“Or you can try to do it alone. But I promise you, you don’t want to go alone.”
