Chapter 1720: Chapter 1720 End-of-War Meeting-2

"." Theo smiled silently, saying nothing at all. How could he possibly explain to Hedric what was really happening? How could he describe the absurd brilliance behind the operation of the Shadow Swords? They waited in complete silence, hidden in the emptiness between stars, until the enemy fleets passed close to a planet. Then, using the Coordinate Detection Device, they would identify the mother ship's precise transition point. Immediately afterward, they activated the new generation of the Instant Transmission Array, allowing them to infiltrate directly into that mother ship itself-swiftly, quietly, like shadows folding into deeper darkness. Once inside, they gathered intelligence, sabotaged systems without leaving traces, and then, when the timing was right, they simply vanished-jumping out to another planet along the route. Even the information about Marshal Borentor's absence had come from whispers overheard by spies among ordinary soldiers aboard those very fleets. This form of deep infiltration and intelligence warfare was utterly unprecedented. It was a technique so secret, so dangerous, that it could never, ever be leaked. Not even within the Shadow Swords themselves. Only a handful knew about the new array's existence, and each of them had sworn an oath far stricter, far more binding than that of any ordinary member. The new model of the instant transmission array operated using Fifth-Stage major space law, and its technology remained among the most classified secrets of the organization. No one outside their circle even suspected it existed. Even the older version was still considered highly restricted- whenever the enemy caught a glimpse of it, that glimpse was meant to be the last thing they ever saw.
