They watched as Kyle and the others, bathed in dazzling radiant energy, were about to disappear at the visible edge of the sky, leaving behind a long, straight trajectory of tail flas at the high altitude.
Amidst the confusion of the pursuing Nova Legion, the guards piloting the fighter jets could hardly believe their eyes as they looked at the display screens.
They hadn't seen it wrong— indeed, they hadn't. The fighter jets they were piloting had activated their maximum engine power, and their flight speed had even reached the threshold of light speed!
But what was despairing was that the speed of the other party was far above theirs. Despite the Interstellar fighter jets having the advantage in speed, they could only watch helplessly as Kyle and the others continued to widen the distance between them.
Were they really going to let the criminals escape? Or was it because of the intervention of the Nova Legion, who excelled in controlling airspace?
Proud as the Nova Legion's alien guards were, they naturally couldn't accept this fact. However, with the distance between them and the criminals continuously increasing, they could only grit their teeth and persevere, trailing behind and enduring the dust kicked up along the way.
"Air control, have the criminals been intercepted?"
Seeing that the Nova Legion fighter jets in the sky had not responded for a long ti, the ground forces connected to the communication channel inquiringly. However, there was silence on the channel, with no response from the guards.
The air control unit of the Nova Legion, manned by the guards, collectively fell silent, feeling frustrated and unable to say anything.
How should they answer?
Could they say that the criminals' escape speed was faster than even the most advanced fighter jets of Nova? That would be too unbelievable for any Xandarian to believe!
At this mont, soone needed to step forward. The captain of the air control unit, on the voice channel, issued a cold command: "Continue the pursuit. We must not let the criminals escape, we cannot tarnish the dignity of our Nova Legion that has dominated the Galactic Union for hundreds of years!"
"Yes, sir!"
The air control unit responded with renewed spirit. However, reality was cruel. No matter how they increased their engine power to chase, they couldn't even see the tail flas of the criminals in their field of vision.
Only the satellite surveillance display still showed the target marker, with the gap between them widening at a rate of kiloters per second.
They could only continue to pursue, even if it beca clear that catching up was impossible...
Suddenly, a unit forcibly connected to the channel, and the captain leading the team calmly said, "Just returned from patrolling outside the planet. Are you in pursuit of the criminals? Do you need assistance from our enforcent unit?"
It was the Nova Legion's enforcent unit!
The air control unit that was pursuing Kyle and the others was overjoyed as if they had seen a savior. The Nova Legion had clear divisions of labor: ground forces for internal security, air control units, and enforcent units for external battles and defense.
The enforcent unit was the strongest legion of the Nova Empire, the first and last line of defense!
According to common sense, letting the enforcent unit participate in the arrest of criminals was unprecedented and sowhat exaggerated, but at this mont, the Nova Legion couldn't care about that— letting the criminals escape in front of them was a great sha that the Nova Empire could not easily wash away!
"Enforcent unit, where are you roughly located?" Soon, one of the guards from the air control unit asked excitedly.
"About a hundred kiloters ahead of you," The enforcent unit quickly replied.
"That's great!"
The guards of the air control unit were invigorated, feeling like they had returned from hell to heaven. They exclaid excitedly, "We'll keep chasing from behind. The criminals are heading your way. Please intercept them now! Be aware, their speed exceeds the maximum flying speed of our aircraft. Intercept them on the spot!"
"Understood."
Hundreds of enforcent unit fighter jets hovered in the air, all identical in appearance, presenting a tallic gray-silver color, with wings spread open, reflecting golden rays of light.
They were like a well-trained swarm of agile bees, beginning to adjust their hovering positions one by one, descending from the sky above to the flat surface of the plain...
"Whoosh!"
Kyle's body radiated fusion energy, carrying Lorna and the others, streaking across the sky like a teor.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh..."
Green was completely unconscious, teetering on the edge of oblivion amidst the fierce winds, drifting in and out of consciousness, constantly oscillating between these two states.
Kyle glanced back and saw that the Nova Legion that had been following them had long disappeared. He then whispered to Vis, who had transford into an electronic pendant, "I think it's about ti. Vis, help block the satellite signals. I need to find a place down below to completely shake off the pursuers behind us."
Vis imdiately responded, "Okay... Wait, Master, sensors ahead have detected a significant number of local guard aircraft, far more than the ones chasing us from behind."
"Ahead too?"
Kyle narrowed his eyes, maintaining his high-speed flight, and looked ahead.
At the end of his line of sight, a dazzling golden arc appeared, revealing a vast and boundless golden light network!
The hunting light network previously woven by three or four Nova Legion aircraft was enough to envelop a dium-sized fighter jet. But now, it was hundreds or even thousands of aircraft forming a connected network, woven together to form a gigantic wall connecting the sky and earth!
The light network not only blocked the sky and the ground but also extended to the sides, seemingly endless!
Green, feeling dazed, opened his eyes and saw the light wall ahead, suddenly jolting awake. He exclaid in horror, "That's a unique interception and defensive function of the Nova Legion's aircraft models. Judging from this setup, it's probably a combined entity of a thousand aircraft, sharing engines, and energy— let alone ordinary Interstellar Spaceships, even the strongest Spaceship Warship in the Galactic Union would be easily intercepted."
"Being blocked by them in advance, speed is aningless now..." Green finished speaking and then tilted his head again, drifting into unconsciousness with his eyes rolling back.
Kyle's expression remained calm as he watched the approaching golden light network, showing no intention of slowing down. Instead, he extracted fusion energy at full strength, allowing more energy to surge and gather on his surface.
"Faster, give more speed!"
Kyle silently urged himself as the brilliance overflowed, and the tail fla stretched to ten ters long. His body was highlighted as if self-combusting, squeezing out every ounce of potential energy hidden within him.
One kiloter, five hundred ters, one hundred ters...
As Kyle approached the blockade ford by a thousand Nova Legion aircraft, his speed continued to increase. The contrast between the two was like a magnificent scene of a moth rushing into a fla.
In the blink of an eye, as the brilliant light collided with the massive light network, the network flexed slightly inward, resembling a swamp that Kyle's light belonged to, progressively getting bogged down.
"Is it working?"
Just when the Nova guards collectively thought they had finally stopped the criminals, several aircraft serving as the central cornerstone of the light network cracked and trembled violently, quickly extending cracks onto the golden light network...
"Boom!"
The brilliant light tore open a gap in the light network, piercing through it ruthlessly, and then, without slowing down, sped towards the azure sky behind the light network, disappearing completely at the edge of the horizon in the blink of an eye!
In the resilient and indestructible center of the light network,
A footprint-sized gap appeared, incredibly clear, deeply engraved in the minds of the Nova Legion guards.
A single step, breaking through the absolute defense forged by the Nova Empire's top-notch technology in the history of tens of thousands of years?
