Chapter 1115: Chapter 610, For Whom Does the Dragon Spear Fight?
With this specialized spacecraft, agents could navigate enemy-controlled cosmic space without worrying about being caught.
On one hand, it was fast and nimble, making it difficult to intercept with conventional ships.
On the other hand, and most importantly, it was barely tens of ters long, combined with anti-detection equipnt, truly making it vanish without a trace.
Anti-detection equipnt aboard normal ships generally doesn’t have a significant effect. Those ships are too large, and while it’s fine during normal navigation, during Star Realm traversals, if the observing Star Language Tower isn’t too rudintary and if the Star Speaker’s abilities aren’t entirely subpar, the equipnt’s usefulness becos limited. At best, it could delay observation results or cause minor discrepancies in precise positioning.
However, on these specialized agent vessels, the equipnt practically renders the ship invisible.
As long as they don’t pilot their vessel directly in front of enemy ships, issues generally do not arise.
Even during a Star Realm Tunnel traversal, even if the opposition has checkpoints or even Star Fortresses stationed at the jump point, traversing a “point” isn’t straightforward. In reality, these points span a range that could encompass seven to eight stars at its smallest or dozens of stars layered together at its largest.
Checkpoints and Star Fortresses cannot cover all possible positions.
If a large ship traverses through, it is bound to be detected; but a small, 80-ter vessel equipped with anti-detection equipnt, operating from several stars’ distance away, is genuinely difficult to pinpoint.
Of course, nothing is absolute.
Several of Amanda’s colleagues got discovered during such traversals.
However, getting discovered doesn’t necessarily an getting captured. These nimble, compact, and fast agent ships are not built for combat, but as long as they can put so distance between themselves and the pursuers, the anti-detection systems can typically disrupt the lock and facilitate their escape.
In truth, only a few dozen unlucky agents ever died on the spot; none were ever captured.
Amanda herself faced a few precarious monts but ultimately reached the Western Front safely.
The agent ship could silently infiltrate certain planets with less rigorous defense asures. After all, most planets lacked surveillance systems capable of covering all orbital regions. By piloting the ship covertly and leveraging stealth functionality, moving at relatively low speeds to enter the atmosphere, finding an uninhabited area to land, activating the camouflaging system, and gathering local materials to conceal the ship, the operation could generally succeed.
There wasn’t just Amanda onboard the ship—there were five agents in total, each specializing in different skills, and hailing from disparate departnts. Amanda didn’t know them personally.
This didn’t hinder their shared fate—united on the sa rope, reliant on each other. Amanda herself was, in fact, the team leader for this operation.
The five agents began their mission, utilizing advanced Star Language equipnt to eavesdrop on Star Language communications; they stopped at key locations on the planet to observe; they attempted to integrate into the local society to gather intelligence…
Upon completing the intelligence collection for a planet, they would retrieve their hidden vessel, depart, and head to the next destination.
This process usually did not take much ti. Most worlds hold no major intelligence value—they were simply assessed, docunted, and the findings sent back to headquarters.
Amanda’s original mission was supposed to lead her to the Magrey Cosmic Domain, where she would collect firsthand intelligence. Otherwise, the Alliance’s awareness of Magrey’s domain would rely solely on information supplied by the Empire. Beyond questioning the reliability of such data, the lag in tiliness was unacceptable to the Alliance.
It was far better for the Alliance’s agents to gather intelligence tailored to their needs.
However, en route, they passed by a planet temporarily occupied by the Spear of the Dragon King. Amanda beca intrigued by this battle unit and decided to integrate into the local society, fabricate an identity, and, under this guise, infiltrated the Spear of the Dragon King as it recruited personnel on the planet. She joined as a battle unit servant and civilian consultant.
Her actions carried high risk, but she did not fear. Her four teammates had already departed on the spacecraft, leaving her alone. Even if she failed, it wouldn’t expose the others.
Becoming a servant in a Starfighter Battle Group was quite dangerous. Even excluding those groups that disregarded human life entirely, most still showed indifference toward civilians. Attempting to accomplish anything within such groups was challenging. However, Spear of the Dragon King was different. Its lineage traced back to the Giant Dragon Legion, who respected civilians, much like their parent group. This provided Amanda with an opportunity.
Her fabricated identity was, in truth, quite susceptible to exposure—but, upon thorough analysis, that hardly mattered. As long as she successfully infiltrated the battle group, she would leave the planet soon thereafter. Once exposed, local civilians revealing her would be inconsequential.
Of course, there was also a chance she wouldn’t succeed in infiltrating the group. But even so, she possessed far greater advantages than most candidates on the planet. She was, after all, a highly-trained elite agent cultivated by the Alliance, with a proven track record—including having orchestrated the overthrow of a planetary governnt, with outstanding results.
It wasn’t arrogance—it was genuine confidence. She asked herself: on this ordinary, electrically-powered civilization, how many elites like her could they possibly produce?
