On the other side of the moon, the Rainbow Bridge floating in space is slowly turning. The huge metal structure is flowing with silver luster under the reflection of the cosmic light, and the magic starships are entering the Rainbow Bridge one by one, waiting for the passage permission to activate.
The Dawn’s passage permission was submitted to the Rainbow Bridge space station a week ago, and the location of the express passage was successfully obtained. Under the pilot's operation, the starship steadily slid in toward the designated passage, waiting for the Rainbow Bridge to open the speed space of the designated coordinates.
In the cockpit of the starship, Allen sat on the bridge, looking down from the captain's position, and getting a clear view of the operating platform below.
"Whenever I saw the Rainbow Bridge, I felt so spectacular." The newly joined mercenary Belmod looked into the projection window of the starship and used the external camera to project the scene outside the starship in real time. The armor on the inner layer of the ship allows people in the hull to see the scene outside.
Roy, who was sitting next to him, was sleeping with his eyes closed. Not far away, Broy, who had an interstellar barrier, tightened the handrails on both sides nervously. Vera in front of him painted the scene in the cockpit with black and white brushstrokes on clean drawing paper. Strangely, Vera was painting with her eyes closed throughout the process, as if she was looking at the entire space from another dimension.
Everyone is doing their own thing. With the passage of time, the space station of Rainbow Bridge sent instructions, and the speed space was officially opened!
So the Dawn and the surrounding space gradually distorted, stretched, and finally disappeared into the normal space.
"It will be out of the speed space in ten minutes." The pilot reported to Allen.
Allen nodded. He sat in the captain's seat and took out a pocket watch from his jacket pocket. The pocket watch was sent by Horn, and it has been a few years, but Horn wiped it brightly. Open the pocket watch, there is a photo inside. The photo turns yellow, and the person inside is Lanny when she was a child. Allen silently looked at this photo, this pocket watch, this photo was extremely precious to Horn. However, he gave it to Allen, and the implications are self-evident.
"Mother..." Allen whispered: "Please look at me in heaven, I won't let you down!"
Vera, who was painting, suddenly stroked her brush, even too hard, breaking the nib of the charcoal pen. The girl suddenly opened her eyes, and there was only a grayish white in her eyes. Her gaze seemed to have traveled through time and space and fell on a specific point. Then the dark pupils slid down from the eye sockets, Vera said anxiously: "Assault!"
Although her voice is soft, Alan can hear her clearly. He retracted his pocket watch and asked: "What did you say?"
"Assault, when we leave the speed space, we will be attacked immediately!"
Everyone in the cockpit was stunned, and Adele categorically said: "This is impossible. The colonial star allocated by the Federation is located in the Rudson star field, which is a public star field developed by us and Idahua star. We have no enemies here, so we attack or something..."
"I believe what I see." Vera said in a calm voice: "Until now, what I have seen has never been the slightest deviation."
"There are five minutes left." The pilot called the time.
Everyone looked at Allen, Allen's eyes lit up, and he had made a decision: "Enter the combat state, open the weapon platform and defense system!"
Since his captain has issued an order, other people will naturally not object.
"Turn on the shield!"
"The high-energy light cannon array is on standby!"
"Quantum Lightning Fortress, ammunition filling is complete!"
"Oscillation missile/projectile, ready to launch!"
After a series of operations, the Aurora has completed the preparation state, and a layer of blue shield has wrapped up all the hulls and then becomes invisible. As for all weapon platforms on the ship, they are ready to be launched at any time.
The pilot continued the countdown: "There is still 1 minute left before the exit..."
"50 seconds."
"30 seconds."
"10 seconds..."
"5 seconds..."
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Leave!"
The exterior view window in front suddenly brightened, and then the light dimmed. In front of the starship is a universe of twinkling stars. In the distance, a nebula with blue and purple halos traverses the indigo outer space. From time to time, one or two fell across, and the tail of the flame it brought up left a clear track in space.
"Look, where are there any attacks." Adele shook her head and said: "You are too sensitive..."
At the end of the voice, the ship's body suddenly shook, and the pilot shouted: "We are under attack from the tail, and the enemy is behind us!"
"Why?" Adele flashed a look of uncertainty.
On the outer shadow window, a small window opens, which is the rear projection window of the starship. It is not difficult to see that behind the Dawn, a group of small airships are flying in line, the main guns of the hull fired continuously, and the high-energy beams of the lasing hit the shield of the Dawn, blowing up groups of flames. These spaceships have no signs, and it is impossible to see which force they belong to.
But to be able to accurately grasp the coordinates of the Dawn’s entry into the constant space, obviously it was for Allen’s hunting group.
"Fight back!" Allen ordered.
The high-energy light cannon array on the Aurora took the lead to attack, and a series of azure blue electric lights pierced the star screen, making a fierce counterattack to the enemy aircraft. The enemy's airship made flexible evasive actions, but several of them were exploded by light artillery, turning them into huge fireballs, lighting up the nearby space.
"Be careful, there is an unknown spaceship ahead of us."
There was an asteroid in front of the Aurora, and a spaceship swept over after the planet. There were dozens of these combat units, and they dispersed, making the Aurora unable to concentrate firepower to annihilate it. After the spaceship, a silver starship that was much larger than the Dawn appeared from behind the planet. It continued to rise and pressed towards Allen and the others with a slow but unparalleled momentum.
This is a battleship!
Battleships are the backbone of the spaceship fleet. They are mobile fortresses that can provide sufficient firepower to suppress the fleet. When needed, it can also serve as a temporary repair factory, allowing the damaged combat unit to quickly restore combat capability.
It can be said that the combat capability of a fleet with battleships will increase several times.
"It's really hard work!" Allen gritted his teeth.
The Aurora is only a means of transportation for the hunting group to and from the interstellar. Although it has a certain amount of firepower, it cannot be compared with the battleship in any way. Seeing this battleship, everyone took a breath.
At this time, the starship received a connection request from the ground communication center. Each starship that ships on the expedition has a matching communication terminal. Communication terminals are generally installed in the family's ground communication center to ensure the connection between the family and the starship. After the Dawn passed the connection request, Allen grabbed the communicator and said: "This is the Dawn. We were attacked by unknown."
"Repeat, we were attacked!"
"Captain!" the pilot suddenly yelled, and he pointed to the outer shadow window.
Allen looked up, and in the window, the opponent's battleship raised the deck from the front of the hull, spitting out a gun barrel that spread all over the loop. That was the starship's quantum main gun, and the shield of the Dawn was still unable to withstand this level of attack. Allen snorted and said anxiously to the communicator: "The other party uses the quantum main cannon, we have to avoid it. Grandpa... I will try my best to keep the promise."
Putting down the communicator, Allen stood up and shouted: "Prepare to sail at war speed!"
The pilot's face changed and he said, "Captain, without specific coordinates, we don't know what the other side of the exit is. We will get lost!"
"If you are lost, you still have a chance to find a way home. But if we don't go now, we will become cannon fodder!"
The muzzle of the battleship has been lit up, and the diffused light is like a small sun. Allen categorically said: "Do as I say!"
"Yes!"
"Turn on the speed engine and enter the countdown."
"3, 2..."
"1!"
As the Aurora entered the warp space, the battleship’s quantum main guns also fired, and a bright quantum beam rushed through the space like a torrent, which can wipe the afterimage of the Aurora when it escaped into space. . The torrent continued to go away until it disappeared on the other side of the star screen, but the Dawn had been lost in space.
At the same time, the ground communication center in the Ugalle Fort in Babylon is constantly calling the Dawn.
Horn, who heard that the Dawn was attacked, strode in with the butler Heising. Horn said solemnly: "What is going on, why is the Dawn attacked!"
The director of the center wiped his sweat and said: "Master, the current situation is not clear. We only received a brief message from Master Allen, and we lost contact with the Dawn."
"Play the message." Heising said for Horn.
After a while, Allen's voice rang in the communication center: "...we were attacked! The other party used the quantum main cannon, we have to evade. Grandpa...I will try my best to keep the promise."
After repeating this a few times, Horne's face was completely solemn. He clenched a fist and said: "Quantum main gun! That means that the other party has used battleships at least, and only used battleships to deal with one of my Beskard juniors. It's really a big deal."
"Master, will the coordinates be tricky?" Heising said.
Horn shook his head: "The coordinates were obtained by Alster. There is no reason to move people. It can only be said that someone took Alan's coordinates and ambushed in that place in advance. Mr. Heising, Notify Alstai about this."
"Anna!" Horn cried.
A slender figure turned out of the gate, and it was the blood scorpion Anna.
Horn said with a gloomy face: "Go and inform the dark owl, and let them find out the mastermind behind this matter to me."
"What is the action level?"
"s!" Horn's eyes shone sharply: "This is war, no matter who that person is. Since he wants war, how can Bethkod fear it. Find him and destroy him!"
Anna nodded solemnly, she knew exactly what Horn's words meant. At the same time, she may not have seen Horn so angry in a long time. r1058
