6930  Mastering the Laws of Reality

The Red Collective did not gather a random group of qi cultivators and sent them off to Ves before calling it a day.

Whoever was in charge of setting up the Moloch Squadron put a lot of thought behind the selection of personnel to reinforce the Bluejay Fleet.

In hindsight, it shouldn't have been surprising that the collies sent a remarkably competent formation master to Ves who specialized in scrying.

This was because Ves was too important of a leader and innovator to remain vulnerable to this novel method of remote observation.

Even if Ves was confident enough that his Spirituality or his companion spirit would have been sensitive enough to detect and counteract such attempts, they might not be able to prevent all scrying attempts if they remained unaware of this potential method of intrusion.

Besides, Ves was not the only target of scrying. What if an unknown party tried to spy on his wife, his children or the other members of his clan?

Formation masters also did not sit still. They were constantly exploring the limits of their craft and improving the depth of their techniques. Their spell arrays were fairly rudimentary as they had only just started out, but they would definitely become a lot more refined in the coming years and decades.

It was not impossible for scryers such as the Farseer to improve their methods to the point where they could easily spy on Ves from a distance without setting off any alarms!

While Ves remained reasonably confident that ace pilots such as the Saint Commander Casella Ingvar and Saint Dise would be able to catch and squash most attempts, they couldn't remain in their cockpits and by his side all of the time.

It was much better to invest in specialized countermeasures. This must be the primary reason why the Red Collective sent a formation master as good as the Farseer to the Larkinson Clan.
