Chapter 494: Opening Fire
Whether out of concern for his own safety or other reasons, Viller couldn’t possibly conceal this intelligence. So, when he sensed something was amiss, he sent the information back and issued a warning.
However, due to his previous words and actions, Viller had already been labeled as part of the Anti-war faction. His intelligence, which seemed to hinder the war effort, was likely to be watered down and receive little attention.
But Viller was now on the front lines of the battlefield. To minimize the chances of being detected by the Swarm, the coalition fleet was in a state of silence, reducing all unnecessary communications.
Even if he wanted to stir up trouble, it would be difficult. And if he went too far, he might be targeted by the military police. If he lost his position, his life would be even harder to protect.
However, those who had climbed to high positions in the coalition were not without merit. Before Viller reported his findings, some of them had already sensed something was wrong. Unfortunately, the arrow was already on the bowstring, and they had no choice but to shoot.
Changing the military operation at this point would only damage the already low morale of the coalition. It was better to take a gamble. Moreover, they currently held the advantage in distance, allowing them to assemble their forces faster. If it came to a fight, the outcome was still uncertain.
As the days passed, Viller looked at the coalition fleet that now filled the surrounding star systems and sighed. It seemed his intelligence had been ignored. From now on, he could only rely on himself.
The day of action finally arrived. A Troi warship took the lead, breaking out of the range of the interference devices, followed closely by a dense fleet of ships.
“What a spectacular sight!” Viller stood on the bridge of his flagship, looking at the scene outside. His disc-shaped flagship was positioned in the middle of the fleet, with tens of millions of warships spread out ahead.
