Chapter 453: A Bumpy Journey Home
This was Barrett's first experience with teleportation.
Planetary-level teleportation.
For normal Nala, the teleportation must be carried out by the priest to the coordinate point first, and the coordinates must be turned on before teleporting.
Moreover, even if it is teleportation, it also requires a lot of restrictions, and people and things cannot be teleported at the same time, and the lack of imprints will seriously affect the accuracy of teleportation.
However, Serra broke it all up.
The entire shuttle was directly teleported by her to the orbit of the star tens of millions of kilometers away, which was simply unacceptable to people, including Lai Fei.
"What just happened?" Barrett asked, confused.
"No matter what happens, you'd better start the engine right away!" Hanyu woke him up with a slap in the face, and if he continued to slide like this, he would have to turn into a roast pig if he couldn't escape the gravitational pull of the stars!
Soon, the ship with the heavy ion engine freed itself from the attraction of the star Senna and flew towards the Nebula VI.
There was a deep worry in Leyphy's eyes.
She was worried about her father.
Barrett, of course, could see her instability, and instead of Hanyu, Barrett came to her side.
"Sometimes sacrifice is inevitable." Barrett initially wanted to say that settling in would be fine, but he changed his tune.
Saying that there is no nutrition can only deceive herself, and Riffie flees Andos in order to stop Bass's plot.
If he is allowed to complete the true God, then it will be too late.
Lyphy looked at Barrett helplessly, knowing he was right.
There was no Enlightenment Holy Scripture, no inheritance sprouts, and her father settled down, which was useless for Shasha.
"I know, but I don't understand why I'm where I am today." Riffie buried her face in her knees, her tone full of pain.
For three thousand years, the Nala people have been trying to find points that could change the fate of the race.
They are indifferent to the lives and deaths of the people around them, and they are unwilling and unwilling to help them get out of their predicament.
The purpose of carrying out the canon is to cleanse the mind and sober up from the war with the Awakened.
However, they are now facing the scourge of the dead.
What will happen to the Nala people who have lost their faith? She didn't want to think about it.
With his hand on her shoulder, Barrett took her into his arms.
Words were useless, and he just wanted her to feel better.
A few hours later.
Although they had already joined the Skyfury on Nebula Six, they were blocked from returning home.
For some reason, a naval battle of considerable scale broke out around Savidina.
Seven Nala warships were engaged in a battle with "unknown forces" there, and that electronic cloud was precisely the center of the war zone.
The sensors have been destroyed by small nuclear bombs, and the electron cloud is now in a state of storm outbreak due to nuclear weapons.
"Do you think it could be a deliberate play by Buzz?" Barrett's face was depressed, the wormhole was very bad at this, once the gravity well was destroyed, this wormhole would be unusable.
Ace shook her head, there was a battle over there, and she was paying attention to the whole time knowing that the sensor was destroyed.
The so-called unknown forces are Kesen's fleet that has obtained new warships.
It was just a waterway raid, except that they just happened to crash into the Nala patrol fleet.
At the beginning of the battle, both sides appeared to be very amateurish, and the human fleet actually released "empty guns".
The torpedo was shot out without installing a photon charge, which naturally turned out to be useless.
The Nala didn't fight back for fifteen minutes, and it's likely that they even recharged their weapons on an improvised basis.
Several people looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do.
Only Serra was walking around the battleship, and these things that she had never seen were very noteworthy.
"What now?" Fools know that the Nala people have already laid a net on the way back to the southern star sector, and if they sail back regularly, they are afraid that they will only run into their encirclement.
Barrett didn't have any ideas, but he knew that this was not a place to stay for long, and that the Nala people would eventually find it.
Are there any other channels that can be utilized? Barrett pulls up the star map, looking for possible space.
"There are gravity wells in the eastern sector that you can go back to." That passage was the same one that Karma had used to support them before.
"Isn't it the same now to go back to the Eastern End?" Ryphy rolled her eyes, making Barrett's heart tickle for a while, you abrasive little goblin!
"What is this?" Hanyu found a passage, but it turned out to be to the hinterland of Nora.
"Oh, this is the passage to Merris, which I used once last time I sent the Dragoon fleet back." Barrett glanced at the star map and replied.
Wait, four people, you look at me, I look at you, all at once figured it out.
"Use this passage to go back to the Eastern Zone!" Hanyu said happily.
"As long as you go back to the eastern district, you can use the passage there to return to Farnet." Ace also nodded and said.
"And we can escape to Merris now, and we can get out of the sight of the Nala before they blockade the northern frontier!" Barrett of course knew that the Nala people's attention was now on both sides of the northwest, and as long as they could get out before the passage was blocked, then everything would be fine.
"..............." Leffy watched as Barrett bit his lip and didn't speak.
Soon, the Skyfury changed course and headed for the heart of the Covenant.
Of course, the Nala people didn't expect that they would still have the courage to walk south, so without encountering any obstacles, the Skyfury entered the Saidor Star Field.
This is the second central star field, and it is a very good grain producing star area.
The fruits of SzΓ©dor are very famous, and humans also import a large number of fruits every year to make canned food.
Naturally, the Skyfury did not dare to easily approach the main satellite of Saidor and the third satellite stationed in Nara's army, and it was trying to pass through the outer edge of the ninth satellite.
Riffy brought Barretla into the room.
"I thought you'd wait until you got back to Farnet." Barrett said with some embarrassment, and answered him with a gentle slap.
"Pervert!" Lai Fei said hatefully.
When is it time, and you still have the heart to think about this?
Lyphy grabbed Barrett by the collar and whispered in his ear, "Can you be serious?" Really!"
"Do you know who that old lady Nala is out there?" Leffy asked with a glare.
"O Guardian, of the sea of trees!"
Isn't that what you told me? Barrett looked at Leyphy with a puzzled expression.
I saw her rummaging for something on the bracelet, which Barrett knew, a tactical watch he had given her.
Riffy pulled out a book with a purple cover from it, flipped through it, and pointed to one of the pages and said, "Sierra Linlu! Kashal Linlu's sister, Nala's greatest sacrifice! β
Barrett was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this Guardian to have such an awesome identity.
What is the concept of the greatest sacrifice? If Yer is the biggest priest of the Nala people now, his rank is not even worthy of picking the feet of the ancients.
According to Her Majesty the Queen, the Nala have regressed greatly in the last few hundred years, and they are far less powerful than the Nala heroes who emerged during the battle against the Awakened.
It is precisely this kind of comfort that makes the Nala people gradually enter a dead end, a dead end of self-destruction.
However, in that era of heroes, no one dared to claim the greatest sacrifice, just because of this Sierra Linlu in front.
The so-called jewel is in front, and that's it.
And Kashal Linlu is the first king of Nala with the power of foreshadowing.
It was he who made the Nala people become a powerhouse in the countless star fields around them in less than a thousand years.
"I see, so powerful!" Barrett sighed, but it remains to be seen whether this strong man can be used by them.
Lai Fei frowned slightly, you guy's just said that? Do you understand?
Shaking the purple ancient book in her hand again, she asked in an accentuated tone, "Do you know what this book is?" β
Barrett was stunned for a moment, she asked? Then he got serious.
"Enlightening the Holy Scriptures?" Cautiously guessing, Barrett roughly understood what Lyphy was going to say.
"Even if you're smart, this is the Enlightenment Holy Scripture, something that you have to get even if you can't sleep at night." Riffie continued to look at him, waiting for him to say what he was going to say.
But his elm head really couldn't think of anything else, and he held it with his mouth open for a long time before he said uncertainly: "She has something to do with this book?" β
Lai Fei rolled her eyes in frustration, she couldn't stand it, why are humans so stupid? Or is he the only one who is so stupid?
"She has a legacy sprout in her hands!" Announcing the correct answer, Riffey looked at the ancient book in his hand depressedly.
"Biography, inheritance sprouts??" Barrett had heard Her Majesty mention the artifact that made the Nala people strong, an artifact in another world.
"Yes, the gem she just took out is." Lyphy looked disdainful, you just knew? The reaction is also too slow.
Nodding, Barrett's eyes rolled, this thing is naturally a good thing, but how can I get her to hand it over?
Command her? Barrett wasn't sure if she would take orders for such a thing, and it seemed that her energy recovery had something to do with the artifact.
Naturally, you can't grab it, and the old lady's ability to destroy the world, even if a hundred Barretts are tied together, they are not opponents.
After thinking about it for a long time, there was only one conclusion--- there was nothing to be done.
"There's no way, I can only trick her to Fanette first!" It really doesn't work, and when the time comes, find a way to make a huge anti-magic cage.
Just as the two young men and women were quietly biting their ears, Serra got into trouble.
Sirens echoed through the hallway, and Barrett rushed out of the room.
"What's wrong??" This star field should be relatively safe, and this alert is boarding??
The Nala people are coming up? It's almost impossible! The Skyfury has a whole array of anti-magic.
"Gravity Compression Cannon......" Ace glanced at Barrett, who rushed into the bridge, and she pointed out the module that was in trouble.
In the surveillance video, Sierra is seen sitting cross-legged on the floor, holding the gravity core in her hands............
The surrounding space has been deflected to a certain extent due to the loss of control of the gravity core, and beside her, a thin thunderbolt is constantly circulating, completely suppressing the gravity collapse!
Perhaps Serra realized something, her fingers tapping in the air as if playing a game, and the gravitational distortion of the space around her gradually returned to normal......
"My God, it is ............ to reverse the collapse of space by manpower alone" This time, Barrett finally believed it, she was really awesome......
After a while, Serra came out.
She walked straight up to Barrett and looked at him.
How could Barrett not understand? She wants that core!
You must know that this thing is very precious, and even now, only two of them have passed the test and are ready-made cores.
One was in Cluane's lab, and the other was inside the Skywrath.
"This ............" said without hesitation, that is against the will.
"Take it! Take it! In the end, he couldn't refuse Serra.
But now the most important question arises, and that is that they have lost the gravity core, what do they rely on to get into the gravity well?
Even if they get to Merris, they won't be able to return to the Eastern Star Sector.
Seeing Serra fiddle with the gravity core back in the bridge, Barrett pulled Ace aside.
"How long does it take to remake a core?" The only solution now is to make a substitute out of retrofit tools.
Ace looked at Barrett speechlessly, and she sighed, "Do you think the gravity core is cabbage?" I can't make it without drawings. β
Indeed, this is the common problem of retrofit tools, they can only work according to the established information, there is no creativity.
So what now? Barrett looked at Serra, who was tossing the gravity core around like a toy in the monitor.
It was Lai Fei who came over to comfort him and said, "Maybe she's just having fun, maybe we'll go to Mayris first, it's a big deal and we'll be figuring out a way when the time comes." β
There's only one way.
Maylis Field.
The richest star field of the Covenant.
Although it is trading with the Star Alliance, no army is allowed to enter.
So it's a slightly peaceful area, but it's backed by the Awakened Raslay's Domain, which makes this peace a little funny.
The Awoken, who have a history and civilization older than the Nala people.
However, they do not have a leader.
The awakened to absolute dictatorship has long since lost itself in the process of perpetuating civilization.
Most of the people of the Awakened are cyborgs who have no mind at all.
So, since the Nala eliminated their leader, the country has fallen completely silent.
No further signs of activity were found, but their army was nothing to show.
After the Nala paid a very high price and were almost wiped out, they decided to adopt a proven strategy to deal with the Awoken.
That's isolation.
Neither communicating nor trading with them, knowing that this ancient silent empire was located on the edge of the star field, the Nala people completely isolated the Awakened from the interstellar society.
Until now, this star field has not moved for more than 3,000 years.
So until now, the reason why Merris has been able to maintain their detached attitude is directly related to the fact that the Nala people do not dare to use force in this area too often.
No one would risk angering the Awoken to forcibly take Merris back, especially if they agreed to trade.
The Celestial Fury came at a very bad time.
These days coincide with the days when the self-discipline harvesters of the awakened are flooded.
Since the Awakened have long been dominated by artificial life, most of the ships and equipment are completely autonomous.
February and October are the days when the Awoken Reapers gather resources from the surrounding planets.
Normally, the Nala people choose to ignore them.
As long as they don't approach the main colony star, then everything is fine.
Unfortunately, as soon as the Sky Fury entered the Merris Star Field, it collided with a small team of self-disciplined harvesters.
Battle alarms are constantly sounding, and these fully autonomous alien killers are trying to eliminate any resistance that prevents them from harvesting resources.
"Charge the main gun!" Barrett sat on the bridge as he watched the silver-white craft flying around in the universe.
"Keep an eye on the Nala side, we'd better get them done before they find out about us!" With an order, three squadrons of fighters were released.
Piloting the fighter is a recreation of Hanyu and Ace, which can be regarded as a type of cyborg.
And the fighter is the latest fighter of the BDX series, BDX-15 "Bee Flower".
It is precisely because of the countless tests of the F2 squad that this special heavy fighter, which was born entirely for naval warfare, has very strong firepower and armor.
And because of the seventy-two attitude control vents it is equipped with, it can make very strange air combat maneuvers, and is also called "the hummingbird in the sea of stars" by researchers.
I saw three streamers flying in the universe, and the silver-white harvester was gradually led to the depths of the starry sky.
"Almost! Afterburner main gun, fire! With Barrett's order, two streams of blue ions wrapped in red energy shot out.
Leaving a string of explosions in the starry sky...
