Chapter 825: Rescue
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The three city-level warships continued to chase after that small spaceship relentlessly. Finally, the small spaceship’s power source was nearly used up, and it slowed down.
Those on the warships started to cheer. It should be known that those in the small spaceship were not ordinary targets. They were mbers of the “Rebellion Army” that had been elusive.
“Haha, we’ve finally captured the Rebellion Army alive. These people are extrely despicable, instigating Atlans everywhere. I heard that so places were instigated by this Rebellion Army, erupting chaos. Capturing them is a great rit. However, we must be careful in case they put up a last-ditch struggle.”
The Atlans in the warships appeared cautious as well. Although they were excited, they remained vigilant against the “Rebellion Army”, not daring to approach them lightly.
After determining that the spaceship had no power left and truly could not move anymore, the three city-level warships gradually approached.
“Rebellion Army in the spaceship, turn off your engine at once and set up a communication link. We want to see everything going on in your spaceship. We’ll give you so ti to consider. If you don’t do as we say, we’ll attack imdiately!”
The three city-level warships did not act rashly, not even going too near. As long as the spaceship shut down its engine and establish a communication link, they could use this link to monitor every movent of the spaceship, even accessing the spaceship’s control directly. In that case, any the Rebellion Army’s plans would be useless.
The three warships were cautious but there was only silence in the spaceship.
“Originally, we wanted to self-destruct to affect those three warships. Now, it looks like they’re too careful. Our self-destruction wouldn’t harm them. I suggest that we initiate the self-destruct sequence.”
The scar-faced man said in a determined voice.
Everyone else beca quiet. Although they were the Rebellion Army, no one wanted to die. Even if there was the slightest hope, they would not choose to self-destruct.
However, now they truly had no other way out, surrounded by the three city-level warships. This ard spaceship that had just a little power left was not of much use.
“I agree. Let’s initiate the self-destruct sequence.”
Finally, soone else agreed. Soon, the rest agreed as well.
“Self-destruct sequence initiated. The countdown begins now. Ten, nine, eight...”
As the cold electronic voice rang out, they watched as the countdown of the self-destruct sequence approached the end. Although it was rely ten seconds, it seed an eternity of agony to them.
It was not pleasant to slowly wait for the taste of death...
...
In the dark icy space, no one noticed that a small spaceship was hidden at a great distance.
“Should I rescue them? They’re from the Atlan civilization but enemies of these warships.”
It was rlin in this spaceship. A few days ago, he had discovered this spaceship which was hunted by the three warships. He had followed it at a great distance without revealing himself. Although the distance was imnse, avoiding the warships’ sensors, rlin’s Mind Power was rather trendous, able to observe everything clearly.
He knew that those on the spaceship were now at the end of their rope.
“Currently, I urgently need to understand the Atlan civilization – the more detailed, the better. As identification is a problem, I can’t enter the starships. Even so, these people seem to be in conflict with the authorities of the Atlan civilization. Just right for to blend in.”
rlin considered and ultimately decided to act. Nonetheless, this was the Atlan civilization. Before he ascertained the situation thoroughly, it was unwise to use a power foreign to the Atlan civilization.
However, his tiny spaceship was useless against these three city-level warships.
“Oh right, I have an empire-level warship. It doesn’t even need to be manned for the Matrix is controlling it.”
rlin’s eyes brightened. The empire-level warship was much more powerful than a city-level warship. Even in the Void Zone, it was a force comparable to an Honored Legend, a warship of high-ranking in the Atlan civilization.
With this in mind, rlin imdiately whipped out the empire-level warship, then kept the small spaceship before entering the warship.
“Honored Master, what are your orders?”
Although the Matrix controlled the empire-level warship, it was inextricably linked to rlin hence he had control over it.
“Matrix, destroy those three city-level warships!”
rlin instantly commanded the Matrix. Imdiately, the empire-level warship’s cannon started to aim, locking onto the three city-level warships swiftly.
“Fire!”
“Boom!”
Three fearso beams of light shot by in a flash, thundering toward the three city-level warships.
“What? A danger alert?”
“D*mn it, we’ve been targeted. What’s going on?”
“It’s an empire-level warship. My heavens, have they misunderstood? The army has equipped our warships with a special identification system. How can there be a mistake? Could it be the Rebellion Army’s warship?”
“I heard that the Rebellion Army has seized empire-level warships but only a few to think that we’ve encountered one. Ask for assistance quickly. We’re under attack from the Rebellion Army’s empire-level warship...”
The three city-level warships directed all their energy into their defensive energy shields at once. If they were faced with a common city-level warship, doing this might be useful in blocking the attack.
Nonetheless, they were up against an empire-level warship comparable to an Honored Legend. Thus, their efforts were useless.
“Bang bang bang.”
Three deafening explosions sounded as the three city-level warships blew up like fireworks in the cold dark empty space, reduced to fragnts.
At this sight, the Rebellion Army of the ard spaceship watched with mouths agape.
“Countdown for self-destruct sequence – three, two, one...”
The ard spaceship’s self-destruct sequence had nearly reached the final second. Fortunately, soone in the Rebellion Army had managed to respond in ti, yelling, “Stop the self-destruct sequence.”
“Beep. Self-destruct sequence stopped!”
“Phew...”
Everyone sighed softly in relief. The spaceship had nearly self-destructed. No one would have imagined that the tide would turn at this point.
“What’s going on? Why would that empire-level warship destroy the three city-level warships?”
“It doesn’t bear the logo of the Rebellion Army, so it shouldn’t be our empire-level warship. Moreover, no matter how impressive the Rebellion Army’s warships are, it can’t possibly appear here out of the blue.”
“We must be careful. There might be sothing fishy about this warship.”
These mbers of the Rebellion Army appeared prudent and cautious, staring attentively at the screen at that colossal warship which appeared in the distance. Just the body of the ship alone gave them a sense of pressure.
This was one of the high-level warships of the Atlan civilization – the empire-level warship. It could not possibly be stationed there for the sake of the average starships. Only strongholds directly under the army might be stationed with an empire-level warship but even then, it would be in small numbers such as one or two.
Now that an empire-level warship had popped up here, it was suspicious indeed.
As the enormous warship approached, the Rebellion Army beca nervous. They did not know whether they had gotten out of the frying pan into the fire.
“Beep. Unknown communication request. Accept request?”
The chanical female voice in the spaceship rang out suddenly.
Those on the spaceship exchanged dismayed glances. Finally, an armored man who was the head made the call, saying hoarsely, “Accept communication request.”
Soon, an unfamiliar face appeared on the screen, looking rather excessively young. Nevertheless, the Atlan civilization’s technology was very advanced, even able to extend lives to a significant extent. It was easy to live to a few hundred or a thousand years. Thus, almost every Atlan appeared youthful and beautiful.
However, as the average lifespan increased sharply, the population numbers shot up as well. The entire Atlan Dinsion was huge in the first place but their population numbered in the millions and billions. Luckily, the Atlan civilization had co up with the crucial technology for transmuting energy into materials. Otherwise, having to feed so many mouths would be a gargantuan problem.
“Who are you? What do you really want?”
The Rebellion Army’s leader, upon seeing rlin, shot out a string of questions.
As for the young man on the screen, he smiled calmly. “I think first, you have to thank for rescuing all of you!”
The spaceship was dead silent. It was true, this young man had rescued them.
“I’m just like you. After seeing how I destroyed the three city-level warships, you should stop being so wary. Now, this place is unsafe. Before they were annihilated, they must’ve sent out a distress signal. If we stay here, none of us will be able to leave. Bring your spaceship into my warship.”
Following that, the communication ended. Soon, the colossal empire-level warship began to open its rear cabin, which could accommodate a few hundred small spaceships.
“Bellio, this person is odd. However, he’s seasoned and careful as well, so we must be the sa.”
rlin’s tactic of cutting off the communication imdiately was an old trick. This made sense. Soone who could pilot an empire-level warship to destroy city-level warships – how could they be that simple?
This group’s leader was nad Bellio. Of course, he knew that there was sothing fishy about their savior but what choice did they have now?
“Staying here is dangerous indeed. No matter what, he destroyed the city-level warships. The Senate and the army will never let him off the hook. Even if he doesn’t belong to our Rebellion Army for now, we can request for him to join us in the future!”
Bellio’s face broke out into a smile. If they could persuade this person who possessed an empire-level warship to join the Rebellion Army, his position in the Rebellion Army would beco much higher.
Thus, these ten or so mbers of the Rebellion Army did not hesitate, imdiately steering their spaceship into the cabin of the warship.
