Chapter 44 The Battle That Didn’t Start

Ralph: "Yes!"

In the bridge, Ralph received a clear order from the Regent.

The war has begun...

Standing up, Ralph waved his hand and shouted: "Full speed ahead, launch anti-ship torpedoes immediately, ten rounds in a row..."

With Ralph's order, the mechanical priests in front of the instruments and equipment paused.

Then mechanical arms emerged from their robes and operated the instruments and equipment.

Outside, the bow of the Alfred, which was sailing at high speed, suddenly burst into dazzling brilliance.

In the explosion of flames, huge anti-ship torpedoes shot out from the launch port.

Ten anti-ship torpedoes with a diameter of 20 meters dragged ten orange tail flames in the starry sky, passing through the starry sky like a comet.

At this time, in the dark universe outside the star system.

A piercing alarm sounded in the bridge of the Awe.

"Warning, warning, a high-speed, high-energy target is approaching, and it is expected to arrive at the Awe in thirteen minutes..."

It's another new day, and Morin and Leo are killing time in the bridge.

Unexpectedly, a shrill alarm sounded, followed by Alansha's warning.

"What's going on?"

Leo's face changed slightly, and he hurried to the control console.

On the star map, there are ten red dots approaching quickly.

They are very fast and close to each other.

"Alansha, what is that?"

Alansha: "Ion radiation detected, about 100 meters long, expected to be a small aircraft, optical equipment is being activated..."

"Warning, the incoming target is a missile, a large missile, please evade immediately..."

"Warning, a large flying target detected, high-energy ion radiation detected, it is a battleship, the battleship encountered in the star system."

On the star map, another giant target appeared, faster.

And on the optical observation video, Leo also saw a torpedo flying at high speed.

"Discovered?"

The report from Alansha made Leo look very ugly.

They stayed here for more than half a month.

How could it be discovered at this time when the probe was about to successfully reach its destination?

"Leo, retreat. The probe has an automatic working mode. It can receive data no matter how far away it is. It's just a matter of time."

Nothing is more important than your own life.

Since it has been discovered, you can only evacuate.

Seeing that Leo was still hesitating, Morin hurriedly said to Alansha: "Alansha, evacuate immediately and jump into space immediately."

Alansha: "I need the order of Governor Leo."

Leo is the captain of this Steadfast-class frigate, and Alansha will only obey the captain's orders.

"Leo, retreat, don't hesitate any longer, it will be too late. We have discovered the S-01888 star system, it is here, it can't run away, we have the "UNSC" behind us, and we will get back sooner or later."

Leo frowned and asked: "Alansha, if we go to war, how high is our chance of winning?"

Alansha: "Without the relevant data of the enemy ships, the chance of winning is about 30%..."

30%?

The expression on Leo's face was very ugly.

The other party used force as soon as they disagreed, and Leo had never been looked down upon by others.

How could he not be angry?

How could he not be willing?

What did they do?

They did nothing.

They came to the S-01888 star system just for the mission.

The other party expelled them as soon as they appeared, and now they fired directly at them.

What made Leo even more angry was that they could do nothing but escape.

Because the other party was much stronger than them.

Sitting in the captain's chair with a decadent look on his face, Leo waved his hand and said, "Retreat..."

With Leo's order, outside, the tail of the originally stationary Awe spurted out blue flames.

The steering engine was started at full power, spurting out a long blue tail flame.

Under the powerful thrust, the Awe quickly turned and flew deeper into the dark universe.

Thirty seconds later, the space in front of the Awe suddenly twisted and turned into a huge blue vortex.

The Awe, which was sailing at high speed, crashed into the blue vortex and disappeared without a trace.

The blue vortex disappeared with it.

Alfred.

On the upper deck of the bridge, in the study.

"Wang, the other party has escaped and entered the jump space..."

Run away?

Li Meng was not surprised by this result.

Let him run away. If it were him, he would run away too.

The strength of the two sides is not equal.

Alfred is a torpedo destroyer.

The caliber of anti-ship torpedoes reaches 20 meters, and their flying speed can be accelerated to 20% of the speed of light within three minutes and to 60% of the speed of light within ten minutes.

At this speed, the possibility of being intercepted is extremely low.

You should know that the maximum flight speed of the projectile of the magnetic acceleration cannon of the "UNSC" warship in the Halo game is only 4% of the speed of light.

Picking up the navigation log book on the desk, Li Meng said: "Let's go, go to the coordinate point!"

"Yes!"

The blue light flashed, and the holographic screen disappeared instantly.

Outside, the Alfred was sailing at high speed in the dark universe with a long white tail flame.

Just now, the Alfred had escaped from the star system gravity well.

Suddenly, the space in front of the Alfred's bow was distorted and turned into a huge red vortex.

The Alfred, sailing at high speed, crashed into it.

As the Alfred disappeared, the huge red vortex shrank rapidly and finally disappeared without a trace.

...

The time during the voyage is boring and boring.

The Alfred sailing in the subspace is like a turtle, sealed tightly.

It is forbidden to look at the warp, which is a prohibition that cannot be violated in the Empire.

Even ships sailing in the warp will open the Geller force field.

At the same time, the protective armor on the outer layer of the window is closed to prevent the crew from looking at the warp outside.

The warp is the root of all evil and the lair of the evil god.

No matter how careful you are, it is not too much, no matter how cautious you are, it is not redundant.

It's a new day again...

Unknowingly, 50 hours have passed since leaving the S-01888 star system.

"King, the navigator has lost his way, please help me..."

Is seven light years far?

Far, but not far.

It's only a few star systems away.

In the framework of the Milky Way, the star system where the trade mall is located is equivalent to the neighbor of the S-01888 star system.

Without the Star Torch, the navigator will lose his way in a short seven-light-year journey.

This shows the importance of the Star Torch.

Sitting upright in the chair behind the desk, Li Meng looked down at the logbook in his hand.

In response to Ralph's request, Li Meng did not put down the logbook in his hand.

He read the contents of the book and said, "The direction is correct. We will leave the subspace in thirteen hours."
