Chapter 149: Confrontation
Kita's voice fell, replaced by a short, deathly silence.
The ship's microphone is in fact a one-way, primitive device that can only be occupied by one person at a time. However, the reason why alchemists used this antique system on their windboats was probably because it was cheaper than communication crystals and systems, and it didn't need to be held in your hand to use, and it didn't limit whether its user was a Elector or a Native.
But in this simple system, only a rustling murmur remains, and inside it is like people's low breathing, all that goes together.
Everyone from different areas of the Seven Seas Traveler seemed to fall silent when they heard the news, and only Sylvid was the first to react. I heard the ship's lady ask in a soft voice:
"From what direction, little Kita?"
Fang Yu raised his head and looked at the latter standing next to the star orbiter.
However, unlike her quiet voice, he saw that his ship's young lady was frowning slightly, and her pretty face was full of seriousness. She was holding a notebook in her hand, and the action of writing and drawing on it and copying the coordinates also stopped at this moment.
Outside the door, Luo Hao and Hongye also pushed the door and walked in, and the two looked at each other, obviously realizing what was happening. They walked into the captain's chamber and did not speak, only waiting for Kita's further answer.
"Just south of us," Kita whispered, "we're going to have to go in that direction to get to that crystal mine." The naturalist carefully suppressed his voice, as if he were trying to maintain a set of slender vessels made of glass, as if it would shatter to the ground and fall apart.
At that moment, everyone actually had this feeling.
Unexpectedly, the people of the Jeffrey Redcoats said that their ultimatum was true, the several fleets of the Descendants of Flor were not only here, but also cooperated so closely with each other, behind them was the fleet of Moon Dust, but which one was in front of them?
Even Fang Yu couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: how many people did the descendants of Flor mobilize this time? Are the Seven Seas Brigade worth their spend?
What to do?
He couldn't help but look at the others and rushed over? But the other party must have already received the news of Moondust, and they are waiting there, Moondust, Skyfire (they have already figured out the identity of the other fleet before), and the fleet of the Jeffrey Redcoats all have hunting fleets, and this unknown fleet in front of them must be no exception.
How could they have allowed the Seven Seas Traveler to easily break through from a low altitude, and the group managed to escape from the pursuit of Moon Dust, sinking one of the opponent's ships, but also exhausted the means. And then, even if they can really break through from the unknown fleet in front of them, how much time will it take?
The fleet of Yuechen behind must not be far from here.
"I'll contact someone from the military." Fang Yu immediately decided, he had actually started to scold in his stomach, Su Changfeng said that he wanted to help them contact the people of the alliance, and also said that he wanted to use what control state to suspend the actions of the descendants of Flor. The result? It couldn't have been more pitiful, but the people of the Flor Descendants did act, but contrary to what they expectedβinstead of stopping it, they went viral.
Where is the military going now?
Of course, he was embarrassed to blame the military, after all, the matter was caused by himself, and the military had done them a great favor in Kailanao not long ago. But there is no doubt that Fang Yu at least labeled Su Changfeng as an 'unreliable' guy in his heart.
In retrospect, it seems that every word the other party says has to be discounted to be believed.
He first asked the Seven Seas Brigade to help investigate the affairs of the Alliance, and it was also a vague picture, which was very head-scratching. But it was okay at that time, after all, he also had the handle in the other party's hands at that time.
But when they arrived in Istania, they went to investigate the Blood Shark Air Pirates, and left them in the royal capital of the desert people, as if they had disappeared halfway. Although they finally gave them a 'reasonable' explanation through the big storm - but in the end, the other party seemed to have forgotten about the Blood Shark Air Pirate.
And this time it was even more outrageous, Fang Yu had already been slandered, if he had known that the other party was so unreliable, he would not have been so categorical when he replied to the people of the Jeffrey Redcoats before.
Although of course it was impossible for him to cooperate with these people, not to mention that there might be shadows of the Dark Cultists behind the Ravental Temple, they could completely make a false shot, and seize the opportunity to break through from under the noses of the other party before the people of the Flor Descendants could not tell whether it was true or false.
At the moment, they are actually only one glimmer of opportunity, and if they had seized this glimmer of opportunity not long ago, how could this be? He believed that Su Changfeng would intervene, but he didn't expect the other party to be so pitted, and from the beginning to the present, not to mention half an hour, at least two hours have passed, and the other party has been pretending to be dead.
Of course, this is still considering that the other party is the father of Her Royal Highness the little princess of the silver Vislan, otherwise Fang Yu would not help but start to be rude.
It's just that he opened the communication crystal a little bit of a fuss, but he was stunned to find that he couldn't contact the other side of the stargate, and there was no reaction in the crystal, just like what they had experienced in Istania at the beginning.
This startled Fang Plover - it was an Aether storm again, so coincidentally? He hurriedly changed the channel, clicked on the name of the person on it, and at the same time raised his head, looking at the communication crystal on Luo Hao's chest in that direction, a dull red light flashed, flickering.
Luo Hao paused for a moment, pressed his communication crystal with his hand, then looked over and asked, "What?" β
Fang Yu immediately realized that the communication in the ship had not failed, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have any friends over there, let's see if you can contact the other side of the stargate." β
"What's going on?" Luo Hao was a little confused, but his hands were not slow, he had a lot of friends in the real world, and his family was also over there, he thought about it for a while, and simply sent a message to his father, but after a moment, he also raised his head with a look of surprise.
"Aetherstorm?" Over there, Momiji also completed the same move, and asked almost in unison with him.
Among the four people in the captain's room, except for Sylvid, the others all had systems, and they quickly verified the communication situation. It seems that communication within Aitaria is not affected, but once it passes through the stargate, all information is lost.
They asked the others through their contact list, and the messages coming back from all over Cowlin-Ishurian seemed to have lost contact with the other side of the stargate. Several people immediately concluded that it didn't just look like the northern realm, at least the entire third division should not be able to contact the other side of the stargate at the moment.
Only then did Fang Yu realize that he was wrong to blame Su Changfeng, it seemed that the other party was not pretending to be dead, but he should not be able to contact him. I just don't know if it's the same situation on the side of the Fleur Descendants, is it because the military orders can't reach the Flor Descendants, or if there is another reason?
He frowned, but the fact that something like this happened at this moment always gave him a feeling that it was too much of a coincidence.
But at this time, Luo Hao suddenly spoke: "The community can still log in." β
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, in fact, not long ago, he had checked the news about Gula Harbor and Al Pakhin through the community, and that was only half an hour ago at most. He had learned about the opening of the ritual of the Gura and Elpahim's enchantment from discussions in the community, and had participated in the discussion with the rest of the community.
Yes, the community can still use it, so can you contact Su Changfeng through the community?
Fang Yu suddenly came to his senses, there were several friends in his community, including Shana, as well as Sophie and R, after dealing with the military, he passed Su Changfeng's certification, in fact, most of the time the two sides contacted each other through email.
Realizing this, he immediately opened the system, but as soon as he logged in, he found a problem - he found that his personal center was gray, and there was a locked state on it.
"Ed," Luo Hao seemed to have discovered this, "The ID of our person who posted the video was BAN, and I couldn't log in." β
Fang Yuan's brows furrowed, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart. He knew that the military took over the community half a year ago, and Su Changfeng had no reason to BAN his ID, and the military would not know whose ID that 'Mr. Knight's Fairy Lady' would be, which was obvious in the eyes of those who cared.
However, he immediately looked at Momiji on the side and asked, "Miss Momiji, can you log in with your community ID?" β
Momiji raised his head from his personal system and nodded: "I can log in normally, but the email and private message system seems to be offline, and I can't send any messages." β
"What about posting?"
"I'll give it a try."
"Wait." Fang Yu stopped her, and he seemed to have some vague guesses about the current situation in his heart. He picked up the microphone and asked everyone on the Seven Seas Traveler one by one, and sure enough, except for Momiji, all the people who had the system, including Lian Shaye's ID, had been locked in the community.
After he asked everyone, he didn't need to speak again, and Luo Hao, who had been listening to the side, also reacted at this time. All of the Seven Seas Brigade's personal IDs have been banned, and Sand Night's community ID has been banned, with the exception of Momiji, who is different from them in this war, and everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade, including Sand Night, as the leader of the refugees, is known to everyone. But Momiji is not like them, she is only a participant in this war, perhaps representing the support of the Knights of the Oak Order of Tapolis, but her name is not obvious, she is just one of the many free electees who have come to support the 'Redeemed' in Greyowl Town.
Luo Hao looked at the others, and suddenly said: "It seems that someone is targeting the Seven Seas Brigade, or rather, everyone on our side, it's not that they don't want to BAN Miss Momiji's ID, but they don't know who else is on our side." β
"But isn't the community run by the military right now?" Fang Yuan's brows were furrowed, could it be that there are also internal ghosts in Xingmen Port?
But Luo Hao shook his head: "You don't know much about the communication agreement between Aitaria and the other side of the stargate, right?" β
Fang Yu looked at the other party with some surprise.
"There is not only one way to communicate from one side of the stargate to the other." The fat man from the military spoke at this moment: "Of course, the most important and the most well-known is from the communication methods on our system. It was also the first way of communication between the two worlds discovered by humans, and this ability came from glowing matter, and even from Starlight itself. β
"In fact, the stargate is based on this quality of high-dimensional information, otherwise we would not have been able to locate the gate of Aitaria from the void, and it is precisely because of the coordinates obtained from the glowing matter that we were finally able to come to this world."
"This is the most important communication method between the two worlds, and it can also be said to be innate," he looked at Fang Yuan, who was about to speak, "But in fact, it is not necessary to have a glow device to master this communication method, don't forget that in the early days of the stargate era, there was no such thing as a glow device and a 'system', but at that time, people relied on the starlight above the stargate to communicate between the two worlds." β
"Captain, this is the case with you, you were already contaminated with starlight when you entered the stargate, but not as much as the glow substance bestowed. However, with the real Dragon Knight system and the Natural Dragon Soul, you can still use this communication channel, just like the first soldiers to enter the Star Gate. β
Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and then he understood.
Luo Hao continued: "However, after the signing of the "Star Gate Declaration", that is, after the super competition began to become a commercial activity, human beings opened up another communication channel through the existing information technology. The latter channel is fully commercial, so the ownership has always been in the hands of the Super Athletic League. β
"And these two different communication channels, generally speaking, because of the inherent attributes of the stargate, the former is much more important and stable, so it is mainly controlled by governments and the military. The latter is mainly civilian, and the communities we use are built on the basis of the latter. In fact, before the Van Rik incident, the communities of various countries were also under the unified management of the super-sports federations of various countries, and the United Nations Stargate Agency was in charge. β
Luo Hao swept his gaze over the three of them one by one: "But no matter what the method of communication is, it actually relies on the technology of the Star Gate, and its main network is built on the high-dimensional information of Attaria, so the management of the community by the alliance is also carried out on the side of the Star Gate." β
Fang Yu seemed to understand the other party's words, but he didn't seem to understand, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What does this mean?" β
"It means that in the case of the loss of contact between the two sides of the Star Gate, the Alliance has the ability to take back the management authority of the community," Luo Hao paused, "Therefore, it may not be the people of the Star Gate Harbor who are targeting us, if the Alliance has the will, they can do such a thing." β
"They're crazy?"
Inside the microphone, the surprised voice of the Paparal man was heard, although he was not the one who was the caller of the Third Division, but he also knew some of the situation in various countries. No matter what country it is in, the Super Athletic League must first obey the management of national governments, and it is a blatant violation of procedures, which may not be a pot that can be shaken off by a temporary worker after the incident.
Although Fang Yu was skeptical in his heart, he also felt that this matter was a bit outrageous, even if there were one or two internal ghosts in the alliance, it was obviously impossible for one or two people to decide such a big matter. Unless the entire Super Athletic League suddenly goes crazy collectively, and everyone has no regard for the future, they can do such a thing.
He looked at Luo Hao and couldn't help but ask, "Luo Hao, do you think this is possible?" β
"I don't know," Luo Hao shook his head: "But either there is an internal ghost in Xingmen Port, or it is a good thing done by the Super Athletic Alliance, there can't be a third reason." But I'm more inclined to the latter, if the community is still under the control of the military, and now there is a problem with the contact of the Star Gate, Su Changfeng wants to contact us only through the community, do you guess he will not be aware of the problem? β
Fang Yu also reacted, his brows couldn't help frowning deeper, he had to admit that Luo Hao had a point, but the only question was whether the alliance really planned to gamble. He vaguely felt that the problem was a little serious, but in the case of not being able to contact the military, he could only solve the trouble in front of him by himself at the moment.
For example, the problem at hand -
With less than half an hour's voyage to the crystal mine on the map, it was only a matter of an eye to put it on the empty sea, but the only thing to be solved was the unknown fleet that straddled the two.
He silently put down the communication crystal in his hand, and while he was groaning, the voice of Miss Naturalist came from the microphone again.
The somewhat unexpected voice interrupted Luo Hao's words that he was about to speak, and a slightly soft and weak tone sounded from above the heads of the four people:
"Regiment, commander, that fleet ......"
"What's wrong?" Fang Yu asked.
"They seem to have stopped......"
β¦β¦
The scene in the live broadcast room has already shifted to the side of Moon Dust's fleet.
Although it has been more than an hour since the start of the live broadcast, except for the excitement at the beginning, almost every minute of the next minute is waiting to be spent in boredom and boredom.
Since there is a time lag between the discovery of the target, the deployment of the reconnaissance unit by the Combat Craftsman, and the further confirmation of the target's location, there is no change on the screen for almost a long time, except for the huge fleet of moon dust sailing above the clouds.
The filmmaker has tried his best to take care of the audience's emotions, filmed the voyage of the entire fleet from different angles from multiple camera positions, and also filmed the daily work of sailors on the floating ship from the inside, but even so, many people still quit the live broadcast room and chose to go back to sleep.
Of course, relying on the huge attention base of the Great Guild Alliance of the Descendants of Flor, even if the picture is still and motionless, the audience can at least maintain more than one million people.
Most of them were talking to each other.
For the audience on the other side of the stargate, the new day is not much different from the past, as fans, although they get up from the middle of the night to watch the live broadcast of their favorite guild's actions, but then they still have to devote themselves to the daily life and work of the new day.
Many people are washing up or preparing breakfast β or on their commute β using their personal devices to participate in the action. Most of these people are old spectators who are familiar with super sports, and they are no strangers to the hourly battles on the air and sea, and they don't care much about the daily life of the sailors, but discuss the current battle-
About the Seven Seas Traveler's current whereabouts and whether they have escaped capture.
Some professionals have even released predictions and analyses of the route the Seven Seas Brigade may have fled to the community below.
Of course, some people prophesied, and some people interjected and sat and waited for a slap in the face, and people with different views were divided into several sides and argued with each other. Even some die-hard fans of BBK have joined in and belong to different camps. This is normal, and even the most ardent supporters of the Fleur Descendants probably don't see the presence of the Seven Seas Brigade as a real threat.
In their opinion, the Rainbow Alliance, and even several major guilds in other regions, are the opponents that are really worth paying attention to. As for the current action, most of them don't think that the Seven Seas Brigade can really escape, or even if they do, they are at most with a kind of discerning mentality, laughing at the team they usually support and the star players behind them.
They didn't care where the Seven Seas Brigade came from or what it was, whether it was a victory or a defeat, it didn't seem to hurt.
In most people's eyes, it's just a good show, and it's interesting, but it's not enough to be in their eyes. Of course, Fang Yu and the others are not unknown in the community, but their reputation in front of the Crowclaw Sanctuary and their reputation in front of the Ten Guilds are undoubtedly two concepts for the fans of super competition on the other side of the Star Gate.
Some community anomalies were also discovered during the discussion.
Some people were banned, posts were deleted, some discussions were inexplicably shut down, and the number of posts on the homepage decreased a lot. However, because of such a hot topic at the moment, most people don't care about it.
Besides, the military has been controlling the community for a long time, and there have been many incidents in the middle of Charter City, as well as the escalation of Xingmen Port, and there have been times when speech control has been carried out. Not to mention the Southern Alliance incident before this, which was called bloody at that time, so most people have long been accustomed to it.
And at this time, there happened to be a lot of change on the screen, and after the moon dust dropped the airplane, the location of the Seven Seas Traveler was finally determined. The picture turned to the well-known to most people, the vice president of the iceberg beauty of Yuechen, although 'Heilan' was a little unaccustomed to shooting people in the middle of commanding operations, but he only frowned slightly and then gave the order for the hunting fleet to attack.
In the barrage below, of course, there is a piece of AWSL, and the shameless DD speech.
Then the first conflict took place between the two sides, but unfortunately, the clockwork goblins put by the battle craftsman were all killed by the 'Dragon Alchemist', so everyone could only judge the battle situation on the front line through the voice transmitted from the team channel.
Of course, at the same time, there is also a special person to explain the moon dust, so as not to confuse the newcomers who have just entered the big pit of super competition.
The climax occurred around the moment when the first windship belonging to Moondust was sunk.
Most people have heard of the 'Blue Ghost', especially the fans of Moondust, and they are even more familiar with the achievements of Moondust's main fleet in various regions. So when they heard the screams coming from the team channel, and the deafening roar, most of them apparently didn't react.
Yuechen's commentary also closed his mouth suddenly, a little afraid to look at the command bridge in disbelief, where the vice president lady of Yuechen frowned slightly, although she didn't speak, but the silence in the team channel obviously said something.
The people looked at each other a little, and sent out three ships to besiege one, and even sank one, is this still the 'blue ghost' they are familiar with? Or is the other party really so powerful? But is that just a bunch of 'newbies', so outrageous?
", three fights and one were killed back, and the people of Yuechen can be regarded as losing an adult now. Next, whether they can pull it down or not, I'm afraid they have to do their best to keep each other, otherwise if they let each other escape, the trolls will be dark. β
The person who said this in the barrage will naturally not be a fan of Yuechen.
However, Yuechen's supporters also know in their hearts that according to Yuechen's usual style of acting, it is unlikely that the other party will escape in the future, otherwise there is really no place to put this face. Yuechen has shown considerable decline in major events over the years, and there are obvious problems in talent training, and the only faΓ§ade is this fleet, how can it be possible to let a small miscellaneous ship that is not even a seventh rank slap in the face?
It's okay to just let the other party escape, but this is a sinking ship in the face, and this joke is a bit too big.
For a while, even the live broadcast room was silent for a moment, and everyone looked at the iceberg beauty, as if waiting for the other party to make a decision. They had witnessed the spectacular scene of the moondust fleet dropping airwing boats one after another, and now of course, they wanted to open their eyes further and see the magnificent picture of the movement of the large fleet.
Otherwise, how can you afford the loss of getting up in the middle of the night to watch the live broadcast?
Surprisingly, they didn't wait for the imaginary response.
Heilan stood on the command bridge, silently staring at the shadow on the wind elemental detector, and for a moment it seemed that even the loss of the hunting fleet had been put aside.
"Vice-President," the adjutant hurriedly walked over and reported to her, "It has been verified, an unidentified fleet has appeared in front of us, and the other party has not yet responded to our request for communication, and the attitude is unknown. Now that they are taller than us, should we urgently pull them up? β
Heilan turned around and asked, "How many?" β
"Three," replied the adjutant, "there is at least one capital ship among them, and the other side seems to be a size larger than us in size." β
"The other party's movements?"
"They seem to have stopped in that direction...... It's like ......"
The adjutant hesitated: "It seems to be confronting us." β
β¦β¦
