Chapter 270 Plots in the Background
"That's really Cerise Gunvald." Avery mumbled in disbelief.
She was one of the greatest Alliance Police heroes of the current age. Truthfully, her exploits might have been some of the greatest in the entire history of the Dramid Alliance.
Dealing with deadly space monsters, crushing some of the largest and most organized pirate bands, and turning back invading enemy forces, she had done it all. And often with less forces than her opponents had.
Cerise Gunvald was both famous for her skills as a commander and a pilot. Though, she was known to fly a personally modified Alliance Police Corvette rather than small ships like the ones currently being used in the competition.
"This doesn't add up. Why would the Alliance Police let someone like her retire and immediately jump into something like this? Also, I feel like she would have instantly realized the true purpose of the second event. There's no way someone of her caliber would have just started aimlessly attacking the ships acting as pirates in that scenario." Kasandra said, just as confused by the situation as Avery was.
Yet as he thought about the inconsistency in her skill level during the second event, he realized that she was the first one to get onto the field and start hunting the faux pirates.
Everyone else joined in afterwards in a hurry because they felt they needed to catch up or be left behind. Well, except for Stifur's pilot Atlas, who took up the correct position from the start.
The two of them continued to talk about the situation, going back and forth on their own theories.
However, in the end, the only real conclusion that they could come to was that there was something else going on in the background of this competition that they were not privy to.
There had been things that were fishy from the start, but the longer things went on, the more dubious the entire competition became.
"I think that I'm starting to hate the capital system. Why do there have to be so many plots and conspiracies everywhere." Avery said while releasing a deep sigh.
Unfortunately, there was little he could do about the schemes going on in the background right now.
