Chapter 594: Beast Fleet

The dim light shines on the round wooden handle. The long boat pole passes through the slot and is fixed on the huge rudder. It is ironic that the current human navigation method is carried out with a rudder, just like the sailing ships in ancient times. But don't underestimate this point. This ancient invention is often simpler and more reliable than pure technology.

Moreover, not everyone can be a helmsman. He often needs to serve in the navy for many years and often has experience as a captain or a first mate. Then, when he is old and his mind is not sharp, he retreats to the second line and serves as an equally important helmsman.

Old Kent is an experienced helmsman. He served on a destroyer in his early years and then served on many warships. Later, because of some problems, he was almost shot by the navy. Fortunately, Vito rescued him in time, and then he served as the helmsman of the Infinite Frontier.

After the new Indomitable Expedition began, Old Kent left the Infinite Frontier and was promoted to the chief helmsman of the Emperor's Light battleship. Yes, there was more than one helmsman on that ship, but Old Kent was still the well-deserved chief. His rich experience and full practical experience enabled him to deal with various emergencies, so now he returned to the Infinite Frontier to lead this dangerous and crazy adventure.

Old Kent was not unfamiliar with dangerous adventures. Anyone who had served under Vito for many years would feel that rushing into the enemy's encirclement was as common as eating cheese. However, this kind of thing was often done by Vito or at least Cole, but now it was not them, but Anna.

Kent looked back and saw Anna sitting on the captain's chair high up. The back of her head had undergone the captain's neural transformation. A wide slot appeared at the back of her head, where a thick data connection tube was connected. It was connected to the captain's position behind her, allowing her to operate the battleship through the neural data flow.

She had already piloted this familiar giant ship, and she had always known her very well. She had served as the first mate of the Infinite Frontier in the past, and now, she had finally been promoted to captain, and not just any captain.

Anna's eyes flickered with light, and there was an arc of light on her eyeballs, because one of her eyes had long been mechanized. The artificial eye gathered a lot of data information of the warship in front of her eyes through the connecting tube behind her head, allowing her to check every corner of the Infinite Frontier, just as simple as checking whether her fingers could move normally.

"We are about to reach the jump point, Kent, prepare to jump out." Anna ordered from a high place, her finger clicked on the display screen beside the captain's command chair in front of her, Kent nodded, turned around and held the rudder tightly, "Approaching Mandeville Point, preparing for jump, countdown, 3, 2, 1, jump."

Old Kent skillfully pulled down the multiple levers on the side, and the computing servitors installed on the base under the rudder groaned, shaking their heads, and uttered a confusing language composed of 0s and 1s that was difficult to understand. They chanted, and soon Anna saw the scanning image of the star cluster in front of her.

She raised her hand, and the idea in her mind was instantly transmitted to the battleship. The data cable made the thinker understand her idea in the blink of an eye. The subspace jump closed windows outside the bridge were all raised, and the dazzling starlight immediately shot into the ship, but outside, it was not a beautiful picture. It was a ruin, the graveyard of battleships.

A large number of Imperial Navy warships, as well as those rough giant ships of the Savage Orcs, were all suspended outside. They were like soulless bodies, drifting outside the Infinite Frontier. Perhaps they would drift for a long time until they were captured by the gravity of a planet or melted in the sun, but Anna didn't want to go with them to see those possible results.

"Kent, pull up the ship." "Understood, Captain, I'm just about to do it." Old Kent said, pulling down the joystick beside him, and then gently pushing the propulsion lever in front of him upwards. The computing servitors made a conversation with each other that only the Mechanicus could understand. As the words were spoken, the end propulsion engine of the warship ignited downwards, allowing the warship to rise from the floating wreckage.

The void shield kept colliding with the surrounding wreckage, and the shining light kept lighting up on the surface of the hull. Fortunately, this did not last too long. After a moment of red light showing the impact point in Anna's eyes, they had already left the wreckage and came to the star disk above to sail.

Here, the design of the rudder showed admirable foresight. On a single plane, the ancient rudder was far more reliable than those complicated operating senses or electronic programs. Old Kent shook the rudder, and the whole battleship turned and sailed, avoiding the wreckage of the larger green skins.

The Infinite Frontier passed by a huge green skin bone giant battleship. Anna looked at it, and the battleship's scanning interface was displayed in her field of vision. Her eyes had long been integrated with the Mars-class battle cruiser. Its advanced instruments turned into Anna's senses, allowing her to better feel everything around her.

In front of her eyes, the scanning light waves slid across the surface of the green skin battleship. There were no living people inside. The whole battleship turned into a cold grave, and on its side, in the surrounding battleships, it was the same. This was a cemetery of ships and the graves of their members.

Anna squinted slightly and scanned everything around her, but as I said, her vision was different now. She could see many invisible things through the battleship, such as a jump signal.

The scan of the battleship quickly emerged there, and multiple systems intertwined and converged there, quickly showing that thing among them, more than one, it was many huge shadows, emerging from a chaotic energy position, it was not Ya The waves in space are some kind of more ferocious, wild, and uncontrollable force.

"There's a jump signal behind us. It's the enemy, Kent! Dive down!" "Copy that, everyone, sit still!" Old Kent yelled, quickly pulling down the pull rod on the side that was originally pushed up, and he let go of the rudder. , his hands clicked and pulled quickly on the surrounding operating tables, and many levers and switches were all activated. The operating current they released concentratedly made the computer servants scream.

The voices of the servitors sang at the same time. In the chaotic current, their heads covered with metal masks shook violently in all directions. Indistinct words came from behind the hoses inserted into their faces. The lights flashed crazily. The base stations around them It kept beating, but in an instant, their voices entered the brain of the meditator on the battleship, and it began to react.

The Infinite Frontier's propulsion engine redirected, and the six huge jets at the end turned upward to protrude huge vector fires. The smaller, but more densely packed reverse thrusters installed on the back of the ship also all lit up. The bright tongues of fire were like numerous volcanoes erupting from the back of the ship.

The Mars-class battle cruiser immediately dived down quickly. Its huge impact pressed against the inside of the hull, making many people unsteady. However, Old Kent still stood firmly behind the rudder and operated in front of him. The rudder of the ship dived downwards. He turned the rudder violently to avoid the wreckage blocking the road. Then he released his hands and pulled down the ignition gates on both sides at the same time. As they hit the ends, the entire battleship stopped.

Anna stood up from the captain's chair. She unplugged the intubation tube from the back of her head and let it rest casually beside the captain's chair. "The whole ship is silent and all power is turned off."

Anna's words were immediately implemented. The members on the bridge quickly clicked on the instruments in front of them, and moved and pulled the gates. As they operated, the entire bridge gradually dimmed, and the entire battleship was extinguished. All the lights in the corridor floated among the dark wreckage.

Anna raised her head. She used her own eyes to see the warships passing above from a human perspective. They were huge ships. Their structures were completely inconsistent with the most basic common sense of mechanics and construction. They were more like some kind of warships. A crude, chaotic thing created by a mad inventor.

But unlike real chaos, there are no tentacles, living structures, or crawling disgusting giants growing on its surface, and there is no eight-pointed star. In its place, instead, is a head, an ugly but... Roaring giant.

Those warships are more like space junk. Each ship is completely different. The position of their guns, hatches and thrusters all seem to be random, as if they were decided on the spur of the moment by the engineers who built them. Many of the designs are very inconsistent. Reasonable, like thrusters, but they can actually fly.

Anna looked at those giant ships. They were passing above the wreckage. Exaggerated buildings were built on the huge hulls. Within those fortress-like walls, each angle was different, and the propulsion direction even had opposite jet ports. It was spitting out fierce flames, allowing those huge ship hulls to slowly pass by.

The firelight illuminated Anna's face. She and the crew watched the giant beasts passing by. It was like a migration of giant beasts in the starry sky, looking for breeding grounds, food, and other things. Anna looked at them and quickly found some unique battleships among the giant beasts.

They are not equipped with large-caliber or exaggerated artillery, but their bodies are even larger. But what is equally unique is that most parts of their bodies are tied up with iron chains, like a circle surrounding them. The ice floes around the iceberg are all roughly welded one by one, but the huge transport cabins are so numerous that the long spacecraft dragging them forward occupy the space. The location of most of the herd.

Those chains floated in the universe, making the long cargo bay swing behind them, as if a group of giant octopuses in the universe were passing above the Infinite Frontier. Their huge size forced them to install more exaggerated thrusters.

Kent looked at the huge fleet passing above his head. They did not stay for too long. Soon, they flew towards the shining light at the end of the debris group in the distance. It was a desolate planet on the background of the bright stars. Its surface exuded The desolate earth-yellow light was blocked by the wreckage, and only a little halo came out to prove that it was indeed there.

The giant ships of the herd are flying towards there, and in the starry sky there, there are more giant ships, and more starry sky octopus transport ships made of iron chains, projecting huge black shadows on the surface of the planet. .

"Restart the battleship system, Kent, and push forward a little further to the edge of the wreckage area." "Understood, Captain." "Yeta, you can only walk the rest of the way on your own."
