"They aren't doing too bad for a big group of low to mid grade cultivators. Didn't expect Hou Fei to enter, but hey who am I to prevent anyone who can afford to spend a shitload of money from entering? With their presence, it should mean that there is a good chance they might be able to win this without too many casualties. … Well, I did program it in such a way that a couple of nasty surprises are only waiting to be activated if they don't clear it anytime soon. Hmmm… or should I tweak up the difficulty….or should I leave them alone?" Kraft talked to 'himself' as he watched the progress through his phone. He could feel both adrenaline and reluctance coursing through his veins at the same time.
Regardless of the current outcome of the raid instance, it was of little concern to the fox as the operation to mobilise the stomach flu pandemic was currently underway. The Night Foxes had already been dispatched to the various cities and Kraft had decided to tag along to visit Aljun City, even though he claimed his direct interaction with the sabotage mission would be overkill.
No, he had come for a different reason. He was intrigued by the crystal technology they had to offer after Rex and Starry Mood managed to procure the entire Flying Fortress.
The preliminary analysis of the mothership had already been processed by the System and the report was eye catching not just to Kraft but to Jin's research team as well. Ayse and particularly Rei were dying to get their hands on it after Rex had brought it back to Demopolis for processing. They found it being accompanied by the Devil Dragons and Goblin Wyvern Knights who had taken turns guarding the Flying Fortress on its way back since it got damaged during their dogfights in order to obtain it. (Despite Kraft's earlier threats of damaging the Flying Fortress, the System 'absolved' them of their 'crimes' because it was unrealistic for it to come unharmed in an intensive bout of air to air combat.)
"Anyways consider yourselves lucky, that I find my current predicament to be more fun than messing with you all in the raid instance. I can always watch the chaos in subsequent fights. Time to grab the Crystal Tech before the Churchies managed to do anything with it. Don't want them to have an added advantage against us." Kraft ultimately decided to obtain the Cyrstal Tech but the System queried whether he was assuming too much that there were blueprints about the Crystal Tech in the first place.
"Aljun City is considered to be the most advanced city around the neighbourhood, so the possibility of it having a stash of physical blueprints should be extremely low. Besides, with the Church of the Afterlife's connections, the possibility of them obtaining them even after Original Bellator Kraft steals them is very high." The System stated the obvious that Kraft wondered if he should even reply back his opinion at such a dumb report. (Eventually, he caved in since his mouth was itchy.)
"Well, duh. Since they have advanced their Crystal Tech, obviously their storage method would have to be something Crystal Tech-ish. I don't believe they don't have any copies of their stuff. We just gotta make it harder for the Church to find it or… Hmmm, Hmmm, Hehehehehehe!"
"Or better yet make them suffer by manipulating the backup blueprints and change them to have the wrong dimensions, adding a screw or something within the build that will create a weakness. Something like that Moon Wars Saga where the Death Moon could be destroyed entirely by simply destroying one of their pipelines. Hahahah!"
"Oh, that will be a fun thing to do, sabotaging them without them realising it. For now, we have to find a person to get into the base for us." Kraft commented as he was already strolling around the outskirts of the city's main air base compound, Geylan Air Base. And it so happened that someone had recently come out of the air base in a fairly modern motorized carriage powered by crystals.
"This guy should work well enough." Kraft thought as he typed in his own group chat that the Dark Elves continued their pandemic operation while he went off to have a little fun. After which, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, immediately casting a spell towards the direction of the carriage while he continued to stroll out of sight of the guards who were looking at him from a distance. Seeing a suspicious person wearing a trench coat, the on duty guard leader was getting a bad vibe and decided to confront him head on.
Not long later, the carriage returned back to Kraft and the driver even lowered its window to speak to him. From afar, the guard leader noticed that the driver had gone all the way out to open the door for the mysterious person in that long trench coat. After which, the driver drove back to the Geylan Air Base front gates, prompting the Guard Leader to hurry back.
"Why did you let him go back in without checking his credentials??" The Guard Leader questioned the guards that opened the gates for them to enter.
"Sir, that person in the trench coat is THAT somebody." The guards replied in a very hushed tone, implying that was the reason why they opened the gates for him.
"That somebody?" The Guard Leader took some time to understand until the guards added that the carriage was under Major Thicket. It then started to click in his brain. The person in the trench coat must be the rumoured mysterious Air Force auditor who had come today in for an inspection. (Of course, no one knew that Kraft had already altered the memories of everyone in the vicinity.)
And with Kraft assuming that particular identity, upon brainwashing Major Thicket, he managed to enter without a hitch. "Oh, lucky me! To get the right person on the first try… There must be some unseen force guiding the hand of my fate. Hehehe!" Kraft commented loudly, while Major Thicket nodded his head profusely as if Kraft had shared something very profound with him. (It was apparent the Major had been brainwashed.)
As the carriage went further into the base's compound, Kraft touched his face a couple of times, allowing him to change his facial features into someone that was totally unrecognisable to Jin and his minions. He even secretly transformed his shirt beneath his trenchcoat to suit the Air Force's attire. All of these preparations were taken based on the memories of Major Thicket since he had to act as that mysterious auditor.
"Since I am going around questioning everything that requires rigorous inspection, I might as well enjoy the grand tour of this place and check out everything I deem as essential for my 'audit'." Kraft smiled as he crossed his legs and enjoyed the rest of the ride as his driver was in extreme distress from the current situation.
