Chapter 165: Bluff
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This ch was most definitely modelled after a bird. As for what kind of bird it was, Ye Chong had no idea! The murky green surface was covered with a layer of light green glimr, the result of photon excitent. Only advanced level chs with enough energy stored would have such an appearance, just like when Ye Chong saw a similar glimr on Mu and Shang.
Its long and thin body shape was in contrast with the usual bulky build of average chs, and this ch appeared to be as agile as a bird.
The Sanctuary’s chs were different from the various ch models that Ye Chong was familiar with, so Ye Chong could not tell their performance, but he could still identify so features that mark the quality of a Sanctuary’s ch.
For example, their chs were always on the sa level as their owners. Another example would be that their advanced level chs were usually modelled after birds. While Ye Chong did not recognize the various types of birds, he could still identify this similarity.
The ch before him was definitely an advanced level ch from the Sanctuary, because of its wings! Ye Chong had seen those wings before, on the purple ch that appeared when he was surrounded by the MPA.
Like the purple ch, this ch had a very lifelike pair of wings! Ye Chong was not sure if they were more like lateral wings or folding wings. Like wings on actual birds, they too had many feather-like small tallic plates. Ye Chong believed that this type of wings must offer so special moves. The strong defensive abilities of the purple ch’s wings from last ti left a deep impression with Ye Chong!
Now that a ch like this had fallen into his hands, he would definitely have to study it closely! Ye Chong laughed to himself at the thought.
The only regrettable fact was that now was obviously not the ti to study the ch! For the mont, every second was precious and must not be wasted!
Ye Chong slipped into the ch’s cabin quickly. To fly this ch, there was another issue that needed attention, and that was the initial configurations! Every white ch must undergo initial configuration before usage. It was not a step that could be skipped, or so functionalities would be barred from the user! Fortunately, this was not Ye Chong’s first ti doing this. He hands moved across the controls effortlessly.
The na of this ch was Overwing. Of course, Shang could not help but sneer at the odd and plain na, mocking its lack of style!
His eyes swept across the controls, and Ye Chong got a rough overview of the ch's available functions. He was very grateful, however, he had kill Mu Fei before the man himself could deploy his ch, or he might not have been able to finish him off.
Compared to other chs, Overwing was similar to them in terms of basic maneuvering, so that would not be a problem.
The hatch that led outside opened, and Ye Chong took off with Overwing out and into space.
Just as Ye Chong left the ship, the Sanctuary had only four chs left struggling to survive. However, none of them were retreating, a testimony to their discipline.
Overwing’s appearance, however, brought a change to the battlefield!
Overwing shone with a light green glimr all over its surface, its shiny wings spread out at the back, an eye-catching sight in the darkness of space. As the remaining four Dawn chs saw Overwing, they imdiately felt encouraged, and managed to slightly recover their defenses against the enemy!
The Black Cove chs saw Overwing as well, and as Ye Chong was troubling over how to deal with them, he was surprised to find the remaining 10 Black Cove chs escaping, leaving the four heavily damaged Dawn chs, retreating as though they had seen the Devil!
It was strange, too peculiar! Ye Chong stared at their retreating backs!
Ye Chong did not know the reputation that ca with the ch he was flying, the Overwing, amongst the Three Forces! Mu Fei’s Overwing was one of the Sanctuary’s trump cards. Mu Fei was a modest person, and the most popular of the Sanctuary’s trump cards. He was equally known for his excellent combat skills, on par with the other trump cards!
Trump cards play a very important role amongst the Three Forces! Outstanding combat skills and powerful chs were a combination that could often decide the outco of a battle! The Three Forces spared no effort in promoting the strength of their trump cards. Besides making them role models for others, it was also an intimidation strategy for their enemies. Legends involving these trump cards were similarly spread far and wide.
As the 10 Black Cove chs saw Overwing, they were imdiately horrified. They did not expect to see a trump card on the ship, and this was not an opponent that average chs could hope to defeat. To stop a trump card, only another trump card would do!
Black Cove’s commander in chief was also shocked with Overwing's appereance, and imdiately ordered his squad’s retreat. If not for his orders, they would never have escaped, an embodint of Black Cove’s strong discipline!
What was this starship up to? The commander in chief was curious. With four of the Sanctuary’s standard combat squad and a trump card, he did not believe that they were only out on a routine flight! This was obviously beyond the Sanctuary’s borders, and usually they would not send such a strong battle force beyond the Orbits if not for so mission! He was also certain that they were not out for Black Cove, since his mission this ti was definitely top secret. What baffled him was also the other party’s active provocation. With a trump card on their side, Mu Fei in particular, how could he have waited the near annihilation of his own forces before coming out? Word was that Mu Fei was always leading the charge, showing care for his subordinates and highly looked up upon! Were the stories only fiction?
For the mont, he was occupied with many questions, but he still gave the order he thought was best, which was to retreat the ship.
The remaining four Dawn chs all looked to Overwing, but Overwing did not move, so they could only watch as the enemy escaped! However, they could not help but feel that if they were to pursue, the enemy would be vanquished! Nonetheless, the Sanctuary’s trump card had absolute authority over the ch pilots - there must be a reason for his decision! That was the conclusion of the four ch pilots.
Sir Mu Fei’s ch waved, a signal to return to their ship.
They paused. Why would Sir not used the comms? However, the signal was clear, and while they were confused, the four ch pilots still flew to Ye Chong’s side. They could never know that while the ch was Overwing, the pilot inside was not their respected Sir Mu Fei, but the seemingly weak young boy! It would be a crazy fact for them to take in!
The five chs flew to the nearby ship, and as the hatch opened up, the five chs drifted in one by one through the hatch!
The four Dawn chs were heavily damaged, and as they landed, the pilots imdiately slipped out. The battle was intense, and they were all strung up, but now they could finally relax. While they were all highly trained, all of them now wore a tired expression! Now out of their chs, they waited for Sir Mu Fei to co out too.
After a while, Sir still did not co out.
The four n looked towards the Overwing in confusion. As they marveled at the elegance and might of Overwing, one question still bothered them - what’s with Sir?
They were still confused when four laser beams abruptly shot towards them.
On each of their foreheads was a thumb-sized hole of blood. Before the four pairs of confused and now dead eyes, Ye Chong leaped out of the pilot cabin. He stepped onto the deck as the four n fell backwards lifelessly!
At such a short distance, with so much ti, even if Ye Chong’s shooting skills were deplorable, and Overwing’s auto shooting was far from the MPA’s level, those four shots still managed to accurately hit their targets. Ye Chong even imagined that it could be due to his improving shooting skills!
The final group of people who could be a threat to him was finally dealt with.
Ye Chong exhaled deeply in relief!
The most successful part of the plan was that no one onboard the ship had ti to report to the Sanctuary of what had transpired. This ant that the Sanctuary knew nothing of what happened on Glinton! This was very important to Ye Chong, since if he next et with the Sanctuary’s people, his skills as a skeleton carver could still be useful! However, he must first co up with a reasonable story of what happened!
While he believed it was unlikely for him to have anything to do with the Sanctuary in future, it was still best to prepare for it!
Glinton flew onwards in space.
In the large space of the captain’s quarters was Ye Chong, alone. Of course, Shang also ca out for a breather. The room was large enough for him! Ye Chong had cleared out the bodies, and after days of internal cleansing, the scent of blood was no longer present.
The entire Glinton had only Ye Chong and Shang as its passengers. Shang controlled the entire starship, since if the ship was given to Ye Chong, he would not be able to fly it!
"What’s our next step?" Ye Chong asked.
"Look for Lu Caite’s teacher, cure your illness. However, we must find a planet quickly to access the virtual world, and find out where the teacher is! According to Lu Caite, his teacher seed capable enough," Shang replied.
Ye Chong disagreed. "No, we’re too close to the Orbits here, it’s going to be easy for the Sanctuary to sense us, then we’ll be in trouble!"
"Hmm, that’s true, it’s really troubleso! Looks like it’s better if we go as far as possible away from this place!" Shang agreed.
"That’s right! But Shang, do you have a star chart?" Ye Chong asked.
"I do, quite a few of them for beyond the Orbits!" Shang spoke proudly.
"Then we can do a warp jump?" Ye Chong asked with faint anticipation.
"Yes!" Shang replied briskly!
