Chapter 708: Unexpected Event (Part 3)
...
As soon as the broadcast came out, the passengers who were cursing showed expressions of extreme fear on their faces.
"What's going on, why did Blue Whale exit superluminal flight status, and why are there interstellar pirate attacks?"
"Could we be in danger?"
...
In the starry sky, there floated a Battleship 130 kilometers long, with the armor of its hull densely patterned like crystals. Its entire ship head was concave, with a 300-meter-long crystal energy main cannon extending from the middle. The sides of the hull were covered with over 20,000 missile launch ports, and it bore the graffiti of a black pirate skull marking, a level 5 Battleship. Behind it, led countless ships, completely surrounding the Giant Whale, simultaneously releasing a mass of Mechas and Interstellar Fighters.
Inside the Blue Whale's operation room, an old man with a bald head, and a sinister look, dressed in blue captain attire, stared intently at the radar scanning device.
Blue Whale mysteriously exited superluminal flight, and suddenly dense red dots appeared all around.
The operator continuously issued warnings.
"Detected level 5 Interstellar Battleship, Crystal Pattern, interstellar pirates!"
"Detected level 4 Battleship, Glutton, interstellar pirates!"
"Detected level 4 Battleship, Sea Jelly, interstellar pirates!"
...
"Detected type IV Biological Mecha, Gray Snake!"
...
"Lord Wick, why are there so many interstellar pirates?"
The other people present were also full of fear.
"Have you ever seen interstellar pirates with such advanced ships? Which interstellar pirate could afford a level 5 Battleship? Which group of interstellar pirates has dozens of generation IV Mechas? Which group of interstellar pirates could intercept Blue Whale from superluminal flight status?"
When Wick said this, he was almost grinding his teeth to pieces.
At this time, the command room door opened, and Mu Yu came in, his face gloomy as he asked.
"What's the situation?"
"We've been ambushed by pirates disguised by the Imperial Army."
Wick spoke unabashedly, as there was absolutely no mystery, just a glance would reveal who was causing trouble.
"Prepare to forcefully break out and send out a distress signal at the same time."
Mu Yu spoke straightforwardly.
"The distress signal has already been sent out; although the opponent set up interference devices, they were useless. I still used the Star Ring Forum to call for help, but the breakout is chancy; they won't let us escape so easily. Also, our position now is very awkward, right in the middle of two major points, and even if a rescue ship comes, it will take at least three days to arrive."
Wick replied very calmly.
Mu Yu took a deep breath and said, "Prepare for battle! Blue Whale is not just something to be trifled with; neither is Gaojia Republic."
However, Mu Yu did not look as relaxed as he sounded.
If something really happened to Blue Whale.
It would be a major disaster; he knew how much cargo was on it better than anyone.
And he was also very aware of how many important personnel from the Alliance were on board.
If Blue Whale were to be captured, not one of them could bear the consequences, not even Gaojia Republic.
At this time, an operator shouted in terror, "The opponent has launched an attack!"
"Energy Shield output at maximum power, interception missiles loaded, all Guard Cannons open, don't panic, we can withstand it!"
Wick shouted as calmly as he could.
In the starry sky, the Crystal Pattern led the attack, its main cannon firing a brilliant red beam directly at the Blue Whale, countless missiles pouring out.
Over a hundred ships surrounding the Blue Whale did not hesitate for a moment, cooperating to launch violent attacks.
Beams and missiles rained down like a storm on the Blue Whale.
At this time, the Blue Whale's hull opened rows of launch ports, a salvo of interception missiles was launched, and a dense barrage of Guard Artillery fired crazily!
Rumble~
The incoming missiles were destroyed and exploded before they could get close.
At this moment, the Crystal Pattern's main cannon, the Blood Crystal Beam, pierced through layers of intercepts, striking the Blue Whale's blue Energy Barrier and scattering continuously. However, the entire Energy Barrier did not show much fluctuation, showcasing exceptional solidity.
Inside the Blue Whale's command room, the operator reported: "Energy Barrier decreased by sixteen percent, accelerating energy recharge, restoring Energy Barrier."
"Well done, activate propulsion units 3 and 5, prepare to forcefully break out."
Wick's heart didn't fully relax because the main power source was damaged. Currently, the Blue Whale was like a turtle, unable to run fast. Now the pirates around them were like hungry wolves; although they couldn't bite through the turtle shell for now, it didn't mean they really couldn't. After all, Wick was more aware than anyone of how ruthless the Imperial Army's tactics could be.
Inside the command room of the level 5 Battleship, Crystal Pattern.
Gugarl stared at the first round of attacks, a sinister smile on his face.
Not bad for the Blue Whale, this turtle shell wasn't ordinarily hard. Such a fierce round of attacks was taken so easily.
"Report, Lord Gugarl, the first round of attacks was not very effective. The opponent's Energy Barrier is quickly recovering, and they are also releasing a large number of mobile units."
"Detected Blue Whale adjusting its bow, seemingly attempting to break through."
...
Gugarl sneered, waved his hand, and said.
"They can't run, watch me crack open its turtle shell. Load the TTS-01 Iron Head Bomb, order all ships to prepare the second wave of firepower salvo."
"Yes!"
...
Numerous ships, upon receiving the command, opened their launch ports.
Missiles were loaded once again.
The next second, like a tide, missiles attacked the Blue Whale once more.
Inside the Blue Whale's command room, the operator raised his head to report: "The opponent has launched another barrage attack!"
