It is exactly the location where the shuttle lost contact.
Martin then contacted Del Luna in his mind who was resting in the starport.
"Immediately go to the outskirts of the Matrix Era and search for the last trace of the shuttle's disappearance. The shuttle's last location has been sent to you. Remember, go and return quickly, and don't alert any potential spies."
"Understood." Del Luna's figure instantly disappeared from the stationed platform, turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the star port, riding the giant dragon towards the target coordinates.
Inside the flagship command cabin, Martin's footsteps made a dull sound on the metal floor.
The shuttle's stealth technology has been upgraded three times by Macador. Theoretically, it can block all conventional detection. Why can the Sky Storm Force intercept it accurately?
Was it a leak of the route, or was it that the ship itself was tampered with?
"The problem must be with the star port." He stopped abruptly, a cold light of determination flashing in his eyes.
"Someone come!"
The hatch opened, and dozens of knights in silver-white armor filed in. The crisp sound of armor clashing echoed throughout the cabin. They knelt on one knee and answered in unison, "Your Majesty!"
"Pass my orders,"
Martin's voice carried an undeniable authority.
"Except for the necessary remaining defense corps at the starport, all remaining combat units will be dispatched immediately to fully take over A-667's dispatch center, energy station, cargo hub, and all docked ships!"
He paused and added, "Seal off all entrances and exits. No one is allowed to leave without my permission."
"Check the logs of all the starport staff and ships, especially those responsible for supplying and repairing the shuttles. I want to know who is behind this."
"Yes, sir!" The knights of the legion responded loudly, turned around and left quickly.
A moment later, the entire A-667 starport was like being thrown into boiling molten iron, and it instantly boiled.
The legion knights in silver-white armor took over the control console of the dispatch center with lightning speed, and the well-equipped knights blocked the entrance to the energy station.
Workers loading and unloading supplies at the cargo hub were temporarily quarantined, and all docked ships were required to turn off their engines and undergo boarding inspections.
In the Starport Director's office, the heavy bag of energy crystals was still on the table. He looked at the Legion Knights who suddenly appeared on the surveillance screen.
His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his fingers trembled as he tried to destroy the communication records, but he found that the console had already been remotely locked.
There was a heavy knock on the door, and a cold voice came from outside: "Mr. Supervisor, please open the door immediately and accept the inspection."
On the outskirts of the Matrix Era, Deluna has arrived at his destination riding a dragon, and the detector is scanning the remaining energy fragments in the void.
Inside the starport, a storm of investigation sweeping every corner has just begun.
Martin stood in front of the porthole of the command module, looking at the starport covered with silver-white armor below, his eyes as sharp as an eagle - no matter how deep he hid, the "rat" who leaked the information must be caught today.
The legion commander stepped forward and handed Martin an encrypted interrogation record, the metal soles of his boots making a dull sound on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the interrogation results are in. The Starport Transportation Director admitted that he accepted an anonymous payment of energy crystals and instructed the transport ship 'Cargo-73' to tail the shuttle in an attempt to steal route information for profit."
He paused and added, "That transport ship didn't carry any concealment systems, and its jump trajectory left a clear trace in the void.
I'm afraid it was this trace that revealed the shuttle's location—the Matrix Era people most likely tracked the transport ship and found our people."
Martin took the interrogation record, ran his fingertips over the supervisor's confession, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
It goes without saying who was responsible for that anonymous energy crystal - the old emperor not only intercepted his men, but also planted such a "nail" in his star port, tearing a hole with greed.
"Where is the supervisor?" His voice was low and emotionless.
"He has been detained in the starport detention room and is under constant surveillance. There is no possibility of contact with the outside world." The legion commander bowed and replied.
Martin threw the interrogation records onto the table, and the metal surface made a loud clang.
"A bunch of losers blinded by greed."
He snorted coldly, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. "Pass the order. Execute the transport director and his accomplices, including their entire families. Throw their bodies into the star beasts—let everyone see the consequences of betraying me."
"Yes!" The legion commander accepted the order and turned to leave.
"Wait," Martin stopped him. "Thoroughly investigate everyone at the starport who had contact with the transport director. Regardless of who they were involved in, they will all be quarantined for investigation. Also, notify Del Luna that the investigation is over and they should return immediately."
After the legion commander withdrew, Martin walked to the porthole and looked at the ongoing cleansing operation in the starport.
The legion knights in silver-white armor were escorting the people involved in the case away from their posts one by one. The office area of the transportation department had been completely blocked, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
The flagship's communicator suddenly lit up, and Del Luna's figure appeared on the screen.
"Your Majesty, only energy fragments of the transport ship remain at the spatial anchor point, as well as... traces of energy fluctuations from the Void Storm Troops. They took the Cryptid Clan away, heading towards the Matrix Era."
"I understand." Martin nodded. "Come back and prepare for the next step."
