Chapter 844 Another one comes
The Manta is an antique from more than a thousand years ago. Fang Lanyin repaired it and restored it to a usable level, but in general it is just a shuttle.
Alyssa originally planned to keep the Manta as a collection after retaking the starship, but now it seems that there is no hope.
Li Chengxi's voice came from Alyssa's personal terminal speaker:
"I was shot down, you have to hurry up, and I and Verania will pick you up when you get out."
Without a shuttle, we can only use Zaku and Silver Cyclone to pick people up, but we have to wait until the matter is done.
"You should also be careful and don't expose yourself."
Without a moment of mourning for the Manta, everyone immediately went down a spiral staircase after entering the door.
Sophia threw the last of the explosives at the door, and when they were far away, she pressed the detonation switch.
With a loud bang, the entrance was sealed.
Alyssa, Sophia and An Yun sat on the handrail of the stairs. Driven by the shock wave, they slid all the way down the stairs. Shanna lay on Benben and simply rolled down.
Smoke floated down from above, and everyone turned on the lights of their protective suits.
Blocking the road with explosives is not absolute. You can block it with explosives, and others can also blow it open with explosives. It's just a simple delay.
In short, at least it's safe for the time being.
"Is anyone injured?"
"I'm fine."
"I'm fine too, I just twisted my foot a little."
Shanna got off the back of the golem and said hopping:
"Can I do it again?"
She's still addicted...
It's good that she didn't get hurt. Alyssa got up and looked around.
They are now in a corridor, right in the middle of a T-junction, with a road on each side.
But there are no signs around, and they don't know where to go.
Alyssa only knows to bring Shanna to the ruins, but the specific route is a bit beyond the scope. Even coming to the tower was said by Shanna.
Speaking of Shanna, Alyssa immediately asked:
"Where do you think we should go?"
"Shanna doesn't know either."
"Just a feeling, a sense of familiarity or something like that."
Shanna frowned, as if she was thinking.
At this time, there was a loud bang from above, accompanied by vibrations. It was probably the other party blowing up the ruins.
It can delay a little time, but it's definitely not much time.
"Sorry, Sister Alyssa, I don't know which way to go."
"Okay, okay, just pick a direction."
No matter where you go, it's better than staying there and waiting stupidly. It won't be long before someone rushes down.
Alyssa looked around and immediately led the way to the corridor on the right. Soon everyone saw a door.
The shape of this door is similar to an airlock door. It is very large and very strong. There is still a panel next to it that needs to be put on by hand to open the door.
Let Shanna put her hand on it, and the door really opened.
At this time, everyone had heard a lot of dense footsteps going downstairs. They didn't have time to take a second look at the situation behind the door, so they could only rush in quickly.
The door was slowly closed on the other side. Through the crack of the closed door, Alyssa could even see the soldiers' boots until the door was completely locked.
–--——---——
Alyssa and the others were in great danger inside, but they did not dare to relax outside.
On the bridge, everyone kept a close eye on the high-speed destroyer. As long as it showed any signs of discovering the Swan, the Swan would have to open fire first.
"I was shot down."
Li Chengxi's voice echoed in the bridge through the loudspeaker:
"There are too many of them and the place is too small."
"Did you use the Manta?"
"There is no way. If I don't go, Alyssa and the others will have to use buckets to scoop them out now."
Long asked anxiously:
"Are Alyssa and the others okay?"
"It's okay. It's safe for the time being. We have entered the depths of the ruins."
If Long had woken up a little earlier, he would never let Alyssa go in and take risks in person, but it was useless to say this now. Long could only sit in the gunner's seat, and the light in the crystal ball was jumping restlessly.
Having said that, without the Manta, it would be very troublesome to pick up the people. At that time, they could only sit on the fingers of the magic mecha and face the hail of bullets in the void directly.
However, this is all to be considered later, because just after Li Chengxi finished speaking, the radar issued a beeping alarm again.
"Another large-mass ship is approaching, and it looks not much smaller than the high-speed destroyer."
A high-speed destroyer is troublesome enough. It is difficult for the Swan to escape. With the addition of a reinforcement, the Swan will be even more unbearable.
When everyone's heart skipped a beat, they suddenly saw that the high-speed destroyer slightly adjusted its direction, from facing the Swan obliquely to facing it with its back.
At the same time, the turret began to rotate, aiming at the direction where the radar detected a new ship approaching.
This operation...
Isn't it their friendly forces?
Not long after, the engine light entered the visual range. It was a large battleship that looked like a diamond in the front half, and it looked very fierce and not easy to mess with.
"It's a frigate."
The tonnage of a frigate and a high-speed destroyer is not much different. The different names are because of their different functions.
A high-speed destroyer is a higher-level version of a cruiser. While maintaining high speed, all weapons are doubled.
Frigates are usually used for air defense, and when necessary, they will also serve as the flagship's meat shield. They are literally the first-class sword-carrying guards.
They are not fast, but their protection and firepower are not weak at all.
As everyone stretched their necks to try to see the logo on the frigate, the communicator beeped, and then someone shouted in the public channel nearby:
"This is the Sea Wolf frigate of the 17th Royal Fleet of the Beso Empire. Your ship is invading our star field. Unknown warships, please state your identity and intentions."
The ship shape of the high-speed destroyer is the Star Cluster Union, but the logo and all the parts that can identify the identity have been removed. Now at first glance it is an unidentified warship.
Li Chengxi asked casually:
"What is the origin of the Beso Empire?"
"It is the most powerful country bordering the Star Cluster Union. They have fifteen habitable star systems, more than twenty resource star systems, and the number of fleets is almost twice that of the Star Cluster Union. There are also rumors that the emperor of the Beso Empire himself can even easily annihilate an entire fleet."
Fuck, what Super Saiyan.
Of course, this is just a rumor. Villania doesn't know whether it is really that awesome or not.
"The Beso Empire attaches great importance to borders. If a high-speed destroyer does not give a suitable reason, it may be difficult for it to leave."
Because the void is too huge, although the countries have drawn borders, they are only rough and casually drawn. As long as they do not invade the habitable galaxies owned by the countries, most of the time no one cares about passing through the border.
After all, the void is too big and too empty. No matter how many fleets there are, they are not enough to arrange patrols for every inch of the border.
But the Beso Empire is different. They are very sensitive to this issue. If they are not caught, it is fine. Once they are caught, they will definitely not let it go without a suitable reason.
