Chapter 406: Chapter 374 The Maze
For Lapaton, the capture of the merchant convoy was entirely expected, since the content of the final communication from the Escort Fleet clearly indicated an attack by an unknown enemy, and a large number of enemies at that, so there was no doubt that the convoy could not be saved.
Therefore, this mission for Lapaton was more about investigation than reinforcement, to ascertain exactly who was attacking the merchant convoy.
An attack on a supply route transporting war materials was definitely a major event that the Rebel Army had to pay attention to. In a war of this intensity and scale, if supplies couldn’t keep up, there was no point in continuing the fight, so it was imperative to get to the bottom of this matter.
First, find out who the enemy is.
Second, determine the size of the enemy.
Third, eliminate the enemy.
...
These were the true intentions of Lapaton’s mission.
Therefore, upon learning that the merchant convoy was likely already captured by the enemy, he still ordered the Fleet to proceed at full speed, without stopping for a moment, towards the battleground in the sky.
Since the Escort Fleet had sent out communications before being completely annihilated, it wasn’t hard to locate the position where they were attacked. Although the exact spot couldn’t be pinpointed, the general airspace could still be determined.
The Fleet commanded by Lapaton then maintained full speed ahead, departing Chenxiu City in the morning, advancing at full throttle throughout the day without stopping, and by late night, they arrived at the airspace where the merchant convoy had been attacked!
It must be said, the speed of Lapaton’s group was indeed impressive. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a day and a night to travel from Chenxiu City, and even two full days if slower, but he managed to arrive in just one day and half a night at full effort, which could be described as lightning-fast.
Upon reaching the battlefield in the sky, which was where the last message from the Escort Fleet was sent, Lapaton issued an order for the Fleet to decrease altitude and head towards the land.
As mentioned before, his mission was no longer about reinforcement. A full day and a large part of the night had passed since the merchant convoy was attacked—there was no longer any need for support. Lapaton’s goal had shifted from reinforcement to investigating who had attacked the Chamber of Commerce.
The message from the Escort Fleet only mentioned the attack, so up to now, the Chenxiu City’s side still didn’t know the identity of the enemy—whether it was the Sky Alliance, the Air Pirate Group, or those Independent Sky Cities that did not participate in the great war but intended to loot amidst the turmoil—all were unknown.
So first and foremost, Lapaton needed to determine the true face of the enemy.
To investigate who the enemy was in a vast sky, especially when the battle was long over, one can imagine how difficult it would be.
In the eyes of many outsiders, it was nearly impossible. Yet for the insiders, it wasn’t the case.
Although the battle took place in the air, don’t forget that the warships that were shot down, whether they disintegrated directly or crashed, ultimately had to fall onto the land. So, if one only
