“What’s going on?” Hye was shocked when he entered this zone. He instantly stopped the ship, looking around to notice that even the falling meteorite that kept hunting him down for hours vanished and didn’t come into this zone.

He moved the ship around, to get a better view of this area. “It’s like heaven in the middle of hell,” the nymph lady said.

“It’s the perfect chance for us,” Hye excitedly said, “I’ll deploy my fleet here.”

“And how do you plan on making them get out? Huh? You saw it, it’s a miracle we ended up here in the first place without having much damage!”

“Don’t worry, the big ships have shields to stop such things,” Hye paused, before adding, “As for the small ones, they’ll train here for a few hours and they’ll be fine.”

“And the medium-sized ones? We got a few big ships… Not to mention if the shields can stop these attacks, then why didn’t they trespass here before?” The nymph lady said something logical, and Hye didn’t have a concrete answer to that.

“As far as I can tell, the meteorite showers that came in our direction weren’t that intense. Our small ship could handle them, and the big ones will be able to do so.”

“We’ll see,” she didn’t buy what he said, but he was the one owning the ships anyway. Hye decided to go out and deploy the ships. To do so, he went to a side of the ship, and wore a special suit there, one that looked like the suits his research department once invented for him and his forces to use.

Yet these weren’t made based on the Hescos suits. Even if the ship came from the Hescos elite fighters who invaded that world, the suits were just normal ones.

They didn’t have helmets as old-timed astronauts on Earth once wore. It had just a thin film that could cover one’s face, one that wouldn’t appear easily except if someone looked closely at his reflection in the mirror.

That thin film was like a filtering membrane, one that would provide air and protect the person wearing the suit from any hazards in the space.

“Stay here,” Hye spoke, and his voice came through speakers in the entire ship. He couldn’t help but like this, and then he went to a special hatch at the bottom of the ship, ending up in a small capsule that ejected him into space.

Out there he felt how it was truly amazing to be in a place with zero gravity. He could see everything around him, and yet it felt like he was too tiny and very far from anything to touch. Even the spaceship he just came out from looked very small in his eyes, very far from his reach.

Hye knew this was just an illusion as he wasn’t familiar with being in space. The next moment he started to deploy all of his small ships and the few big ones he had.

The space that looked void and empty before changed and became overly crowded with many ships. He didn’t stop there and used hand controllers to move himself away or towards any ship.

One by one he started to fill with his warriors. He thought such a task would take days, but eventually, it ended in just ten hours.

“You need to follow my instructions,” he kept saying these words to any group of warriors he summoned. After his experience with Lucas, he decided to not deploy his Soulers or Reapers into any ship-commanding unit.

In big ships, he filled them with deadly force. The big ships were like colossal islands flying in space. And inside, there were enough suits to arm up hundreds of thousands of his warriors.

As he finished doing this, he found his small ship more amazing than any big one. He thought before of taking a flagship as his main command vessel, but now he changed his mind.

“What’s thrilling about being in a large ship that can’t make good manoeuvres or move at high speed?” he said to the nymph lady, the one who seemed to hate such a decision from him.

“I want to go to one of these,” she persisted, “it’s much safer there than here. Keep all the adrenaline for yourself!”

“Cool,” he moved aside, “be my guest. Suit up and head out if you want,” he didn’t try to stop her. He knew she hated staying in such a small spaceship, thinking it was much safer out there than a bigger one.

He knew this made quite sense, as with all the defensive abilities of the big ships, it was hard to damage a single behemoth of these. As for their offensive fire weapon systems, it was quite scary indeed.

But these behemoths were slow in their movements, and very big to miss. They’d make the perfect shooting targets for most if not all the hostile forces out of here.

As he expected, she didn’t hesitate to leave. As he watched her leave, he started to relay his orders to everyone.

He didn’t give orders using the communication system of the small fleet he had. Instead, he used the contract’s power to do it.

“Small ships, go around and experience how to steer these things. To do so, you’ll need to…” he started to relay his experience over, speaking in slow and very detailed words. After that, he watched from his spot everything happening around him, seeing how his people performed.

At first, their moves were rigid and not that smooth. But within hours, they started to have a good grasp on how to do things. After that, he asked them to test the fire system against the dangerous world outside, to make them familiarise themselves with this aspect as well.

Once they grasped this as well, he started to release batch after batch outside to test their abilities with the harsh environment outside. Before doing so, he went out himself and gave them a real example of what they should do.
