Chapter 1045 Sense Of Crisis!
Just as Edward was hesitating if he should attack the massive starship, Tang Yingying’s starship started launching their missiles.
“Your Highness, the other party has launched their missiles.” A worker in the control room exclaimed in surprise.
“Bastards. How dare they ignore the galaxy rules.” Edward started cursing. He had forgotten that he was the one who broke the galaxy rules first by attacking the two starships.
“What do we do now?” The adjutant asked him.
“What do we do?” Edward’s gaze turned vicious. “Destroy those two starships first and then we’ll destroy them too.”
Edward was a ruthless person. Even if they met a starship that was hard to deal with, he still wanted to kill that irritating Young Master Lin.
He gave his order. The attacks on the two Federation’s starship got even stronger. The mecha team that was supposed to protect the starships were stopped by their opponent’s mechas so they couldn’t offer any help.
“Attack!” Tang He’s gaze turned cold. The other party didn’t stop. Instead, they attacked even more furiously.
“Boom!” The missiles aimed at the starships that were attacking the two Federation starships.
“Evade! Evade!” The alert sounded on the starships. The starships commanded by Edward started evading the missiles. However, since these were private starships, their agility was much lower than military vessels. Beitang family’s starship was heavily modified so its missiles were as powerful as military missiles (actually, they just bought military missiles). Hence, even though Edward’s starship tried to evade the attacks, some missiles still hit the edge of their starship. Fireworks erupted in the
sky.
“Damn it. Repair them immediately.” The damaged starships had to quickly repair their ship. At the same time, they contacted Edward to ask for permission.
“Prepare for the second attack.” Tang He ordered. The missiles were strong but the disadvantage was that they required quite some time to load. Hence, there was a large gap in between each round of attack.
Even the best SSS rank starships of the Federation needed five seconds to load their side missiles. However, they needed 15 seconds to load their main missiles. This restriction in time hadn’t been solved even until today.
Private starships like Tang Yingying’s starship would require more than one minute to load their missiles. Plus, the missiles on cruise ships were poorer in grade so it needed three minutes to load. That meant that there was more time for their opponents to attack them. Installing the missiles was just to let the passengers feel at ease. If there was really a battle, the missiles would be useless. That was why the two starships from the Federation were in such a dire state.
“Our opponent is preparing their second round.” The adjutant could tell that the other party was loading their missiles.
“Attack them.” As long as they attacked two more times, the two damaged starships from the Federation would be destroyed completely. Edward wanted to take the risk one more time. He guessed that the other party needed at least two minutes to load their missiles.
Most private starships needed this amount of time. Two minutes was enough for him to attack two more rounds. The missiles on Edward’s starship were military missiles so he just needed one minute to load them. His starship was supposed to be a military vessel but the mainframe deemed it as unsuitable to be one. However, it was still more powerful than normal private starships.
“Attack!”
Almost simultaneously, Tang He and Edward gave their order. Edward was attacking the two badly damaged starships while Tang He targeted Edward’s starship.
The last attack allowed Tang He to see which was the main starship. Hence, he decided to attack their head first.
“Evade! Evade!” After Edward launched his attack, the alert on the starship rang. His expression changed.
The controller of the main starship was definitely the best among all the controllers. He gritted his teeth and forced the starship to tilt 90 degrees. He luckily managed to evade the attack from the main missile.
However, he was unable to dodge the attacks from the side missiles.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The right side of the starship got hit three times. Flames and fireworks were seen.
“Damn it, we got hit.” Edward slammed his hands on the handle of his chair.
“Your Highness, their loading time is the same as ours. We can’t continue this fight anymore.” The adjutant was afraid that Edward would lose his cool due to his anger so he quickly reminded him.
Edward’s gaze turned sinister. He blinked a few times before ordering, “Send the retreat signal. We’ll retreat!”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Many of the workers of the starship already had thoughts of retreating. Hence, they happily typed the command into the system. The mecha operators that were fighting outside received the signal and retreated back to the starship. Soon, the starship and the mecha disappeared. Only the two badly damaged starships were left.
“Captain, they’re gone.” The workers in Tang Yingying’s starship started cheering when they saw the unknown faction’s starship retreating.
“Don’t care about them. Save the people first.” Tang He frowned as he looked at the damaged starships. It looked like their starship would be full of people. Tang He believed that those two starships wouldn’t be able to move anymore.
As expected, the two starships requested to board Tang Ningning’s starship.
Tang He had to report the situation to Tang Yingying and let her make the decision. Tang Yingying knew what to do. After all, these people were from the Federation too. She wouldn’t reject their request to board the ship.
Very soon, the people from the two starships boarded. The mecha team protecting the starships entered too.
When two people appeared, the people that were hiding in Tang Ningning’s starship were surprised.
“It’s them!”
One of the starships belonged to the Lin family while the other belonged to Xiao Yiqiu and Su Pei. They received a distress signal from Lin family’s starship first. They were very close to the Lin family’s starship so they came to help in time. This was why the Lin family’s starship was able to last until now. If not, they wouldn’t be able to survive until Tang Yingying’s starship came.
“What a coincidence!” Ling Lan smiled when she saw the two familiar faces.
“Who are they?” Li Lanfeng felt uncomfortable. Why did Rabbit know so many people? He seemed to have a good relationship with everyone. As someone who wanted to become Ling Lan’s most important comrade, friend, and confidant, Li Lanfeng felt a sense of crisis!
