Chapter 119 113 Intelligence Branch

Yize spilled the beans, revealing everything he knew.

The large number of reconnaissance drones previously deployed by the Insight, although they collected a massive amount of information and even deciphered Shangduohan's language, were fragmented and lacked the cohesive completeness of knowledge that a real person possesses.

It was with the aid of Yize's intelligence that Bai Zhongqi was able to use the information he provided as the framework, and fill it in with the flesh of intelligence collected by the Dragonfly Drones.

Naturally, Yize was not sure whether mages were Star Warriors or not, but he divulged that the status of mages on Emerald Sea Star was similar to that of Star Warriors in many Universe Civilizations, enjoying great reverence and social status. The birth of mages was also random, occurring among the general population like that of Star Warriors.

In the Northern Continent, the mages had established six Mage Towers, each dedicated to Light, Darkness, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. It seemed that a mage could only master one type of Magic Element, and each tower taught specific type of magic. The Mage Towers held an exalted status in the Northern Continent and were venerated by various nations.

To recruit mages for governance and warfare, countries had to provide substantial benefits to the Mage Towers. However, the Mage Towers did not partake directly in the conflicts of kingdoms; even if a kingdom were defeated, its mages were not to be detained by the victors but were instead released.

Apart from this, Mage Towers also possessed vast amounts of property, owning estates and mines, and had numerous servants. The wealth of each Mage Tower was even more considerable than the royalties of some countries.

Bai Zhongqi also finally realized that the kingdoms of the Northern Continent, under the influence of the Mage Towers, had become secular, atheistic nations. Mages analyzed the Magic Elements they possessed and believed that the world was comprehensible and devoid of any supernatural forces. Any unexplainable phenomena were attributed to Magic Elements.

Although this process was different from Earth's atheism and scientism, the outcome was essentially the same.

Managing a Star Warrior like Nan Ma was no easy task for him; instead, a group of mages who could at most throw a few fireballs or ice arrows and were somewhat like circus performers were much easier for the Imperial Chancellor to compel to comply with the Empire's various commands.

He believed that no civilization in the universe would hesitate in the face of such a great temptation. Star Energy was the most mysterious yet potentially most valuable force in the universe. Countless studies targeted Star Energy, and if even partial results were achieved, they could significantly propel a civilization forward.

Countless powerful civilizations capable of crossing galaxies aimed to continue and evolve. They chose different paths and might encounter different opportunities, but no matter what, no civilization was content with just staying at the current stage without striving for progress.

While Bai Zhongqi pondered how to gather a large number of mages from Emerald Sea Star for his use, Xiao Yu suddenly reported, "Your Majesty, we have detected a humanoid target approaching us at high speed, three kilometers away, possibly a Star Warrior!"

At this moment, Nan Ma also opened his eyes, speaking with interest, "Yes, that's definitely a Star Warrior. I can feel it. His speed is quite good, 80 kilometers per hour, comparable to cars on Earth. For his level of Star Energy to stimulate such physical speed, it's quite a decent ability indeed."

Bai Zhongqi knew he needed to make a decision immediately and said to Xiao Yu, "Capture him!"

With Bai Zhongqi present, the Marine Corps and the Assault Infantry had already set up an impenetrable defense. Not only were there three landing ships serving as cover and fire support points, but dozens of mobile infantrymen were also stationed several kilometers away as scouts, ready to strike at the enemy at any moment.

The approaching Star Warrior was very fast, but only in comparison to ordinary people. One of the Marine Corps soldiers, who had already detected his silhouette, suddenly activated the jet engines on the back of his Army-Breaker Battle Armor in stealth mode, rocketing out like a missile and slamming into the target.

For an instant, the Star Warrior seemed to sense danger, yet his eyes saw nothing before he felt someone fiercely grab his waist and pin him to the ground.

"Get off me!", he roared furiously, his body erupting in electric arcs.
