Chapter 16: The Warriors of the East
Although it looks like an ordinary merchant ship, the engine can be switched to military mode at any time, exerting a speed beyond that of an ordinary warship and speeding up the escape from the battlefield.
Anyway, there was no need to worry about leaking secrets in the Setan Star Domain, and the group quickly stepped up and arrived at the border of the Star Domain in less than a week.
Along the way, He Ruozhi observed countless heavily armed fortresses and fleets.
Especially in the vicinity of each star gate, there are densely packed with military satellites and battle fortresses, once the enemy attacks through the star gate, he will definitely be hit hard at the first time!
The star 'gate' is a mysterious area of energy 'wave' movement in the universe, connecting two completely different space-times.
If you want to go around the stargate to launch a military operation, it will take decades to move between the two closest galaxies.
Therefore, as long as you protect the star gate, you will protect the mainland of the star field.
In other words, once the Star Gate misses, then there is no need for the planets behind to resist, after all, it is impossible for a defenseless planet to resist a huge space fleet. Even if the enemy simply 'fires' a nuclear weapon from orbit, it can easily destroy a planet.
The last military outpost in the Setan Star Domain was left behind, and the Elysian Star was finally at hand.
Along the way, the regular army is gradually decreasing, and more are large merchant ships and mercenary groups guarding them, or there are pirates lurking in the shadows.
This is the pirate's last crazy paradise, because if you go any deeper, you will be in the sphere of influence of the Elysian Star. Although the Elysium allows pirates to openly haunt, they are never allowed to plunder and kill people there, otherwise, who would dare to come to the Elysium to 'trade' and enjoy it?
Only this region of Elysium and Setan is a paradise for pirates.
Fortunately, Qu Ang has a lot of experience and proposes that there is a very secluded path that can go directly to the Elysian Starry Heaven.
"Brother Qu Ang!" He Ruozhi deliberately joked with him, "Wouldn't this path be like the Dream Star Dao again, there is a magic eye waiting for us on it, right?" ”
Qu Ang laughed and said, "Xiao Zhi is really joking, your brother is dying a terrible death now, and he will never dare to go to the Dream Star Dao with you madman anymore." Don't worry, although there are more meteorite whirlpools and electromagnetic 'turbulence' on this path, which may cause some bumps, but with your brother personally sitting here, there is absolutely no problem! ”
"Is this star path safe?" He Ruozhi means whether he will encounter a space pirate.
Qu Ang shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, first of all, this star path is very secretive, and there will definitely be no more than ten people in the entire universe who know it; Moreover, the passable area of this star path is very narrow, and it must be a skilled walker, and the hull itself must not be too large to pass through. How do you think a pirate would have to wait for months in a place where birds don't, just to wait for a small ship? ”
"Oh yes." After discussing with Mizuhime for a while, everyone felt that they had to save time, and the path was shortened by the way, and the second was not disturbed by the pirates, even if it was worth taking some risks. What's more, with Qu Ang, a master here, there will not be too big a basket.
So from that afternoon onwards, the merchant ships flew into a rocky area.
If you don't enter it yourself, no one will believe that there is a waterway here; Hundreds of millions of meteorites swirl and fly in this dead space, colliding and splitting. The oncoming strange rocks are uninterrupted all the time, making people 'dazzled' and 'chaotic'.
The merchant ship swam like a small fish in a stream, as if its hull had been lubricated, and on two occasions the strange rock was about to collide, but somehow it slid to the side.
Watching Qu Ang leisurely command his subordinates to navigate the 'chaotic' stone belt, and even have the spare energy to drink a cup of tea, He Ruozhi only then understood what it meant to be a "master".
Looks like there's still a lot to learn!
Their good fortune didn't last long, though.
After half a day's voyage, the merchant ship finally left the 'chaotic' stone star belt, and in front of it was a slightly empty space, although there was still a deadly electromagnetic 'chaotic' current, but compared to the hellish voyage just experienced, it was simply a peaceful ocean.
Qu Ang leisurely hummed the old song of the star thief.
Halfway through the hum, he suddenly became dumb, shrugged his nose vigorously and sniffed around in the air, and said with a gloomy face: "Bastard, there seems to be something wrong ahead!" ”
"What?" Kai's eyes widened and he looked ahead, finding nothing.
He Ruozhi also nodded slowly and said: "There should be a very irritable energy flow in front, and it seems that there are two teams of people 'exchanging fire'. ”
Kai was stunned and said, "Can we still go back?" ”
Qu Ang said: "Of course it's okay to go back, but I think since we have both discovered each other, the other party must have also discovered us, after all, the radar system on our ship is not the most advanced." If the other party is a battleship, the radar must be better than ours, not to mention that they may even release scout mechs. ”
He Ruozhi said resolutely: "I think it may be really unlucky to run into pirates, anyway, let's go up and have a look, retreat to the 'chaotic' stone belt, in case the pirates catch up, it will be difficult to start a formation battle." ”
Qu Ang scolded: "Mom, I want to see what 'hairy' thieves are so blind, and they will rob in such a non-'hairy' place!" Which unlucky guy is lucky enough to die and really hit the muzzle of these guys' guns! ”
He Ruozhi informed the soldiers of the whole ship to prepare, and everyone raised their vigilance, but no one panicked.
Speaking of which, what this ship is carrying now may be a powerful luxury lineup in the entire universe - two Holy Envoys of the Tianning Star Domain, a Hakka Elder of the Tang Family, two Setan Star secret weapons combined warriors, plus the acting head of the Holy See's Crucifixal Knights!
If it was really a space pirate who didn't open their eyes and bumped into it, they wouldn't mind starting a warm-up exercise first.
Three minutes later, the radar of the merchant ship finally discovered the enemy's location.
The merchant ship released three exploration satellites and collected data on the battlefield.
The originally gray 'mist' and 'mist' universe has been rendered colorful by the 'fierce' artillery fire and electromagnetic currents, and the two teams of people and horses are driving their own mechas, and they are on the edge of the line of fire fighting for life and death!
The besieged side had a total of more than a dozen mechas, firmly defending an armed battleship, and in the face of an enemy that was more than twice as large as itself, it seemed a little scrambling.
"Their mechs look so weird." He Ruozhi wondered.
Whether it was the besieged side or the interstellar pirates who launched the attack, their mecha appearances were all something He Ruozhi had never seen before.
Like the Holy See, the Celestial Condensation Star and the Setan Star Field, no matter what the difference is in mecha technology, the appearance of the mecha is basically improved from medieval European armor, with a distinct Western style, gorgeous and dazzling.
The mechs of these people looked like the armor of ancient oriental warriors, each piece of armor was very small, and it was connected together with a very 'fine' metal thread, like fish scales.
With He Ruozhi's eyes, he can see the mystery at a glance, this kind of fish scale armor can easily dissipate most of the enemy's strength when dealing with quality weapons, and it may even bite the enemy's weapon!
In this case, these people should be accustomed to using quality weapons.
Sure enough, among the more than 20 mecha knights, almost all of them use metal weapons, but their metal weapons are not limited to swords, but all kinds of strange 'door' blades.
The shape of the battleship is also antique, full of oriental exoticism.
"These people are all warriors of the Eastern Star Domain." Kai said beside him, "I once 'fought' with the warriors of the Eastern Star Field!" ”
"Warriors of the Eastern Star Field?"
He Ruozhi remembered that Tao Gesi once said that there are differences between the five star fields, among which the Eastern Star Domain is self-contained and the most mysterious, and the Eastern warriors are the best at mecha fighting, and it is really good when I see it today.
But seeing more than 20 fighters shuttling between each other, most of them are hand-to-hand fights, and the fighting space of both sides is limited to about half a step in front of them, and if one is not careful, the two mecha will collide, it is really thrilling even for those who watch, so as not to stab 'excited'!
"Not good!" He Ruozhi secretly shouted, "Everyone is going to get ready to fight!" ”
"How?"
"Uncle Qu Ang said that pirates would not choose to rob here, and I don't think these people look like pirates. Coupled with the fact that they are all warriors of the Eastern Star Domain, then there may be only one 'sex' - extinguishing the mouth! These people must have chosen this place to kill and kill, so they can't be seen by anyone. Now that we're here, if they destroy the warriors in the middle, they'll definitely come and destroy us! ”
As he spoke, the warrior who was besieged in the middle was already in danger.
In fact, the others are nothing, the key is the contest between the aces of the two sides.
The leader of the besieged side was a silver-armored warrior with a mighty lion head embedded in each shoulder, two long knives 'sticking' left and right behind his back, and a huge axe in his hand. This battle axe is as tall as a mecha, and the axe surface is wider than the cockpit of an ordinary mecha, if it is struck by him, I am afraid that even the strongest mecha will be shattered.
Far away from the double lion silver armor, it is a dark blue 'colored' mecha, the appearance of this mecha is even more weird, a few points thinner than ordinary mechas, the hands and feet are extremely long, the wrists and ankles are divided into more than ten joints, dancing like an iron whip, very flexible. Look at the surface of the wrists and ankles, they are all covered with dense barbs, and a whip goes over to ensure that a layer of armor is pulled down by others!
Behind the serpentine mecha hung a long sword, but the sword was crooked, like a dormant viper.
Although the Silver Armor of the Two Lions is powerful and domineering, it is not as fast as the enemy in terms of speed; The barbs on the hands and feet of the snake mecha completely restrained his battle axe, if it weren't for the snake mecha being unwilling to take risks and preparing to slowly wear down the opponent's fighting spirit, he could kill the double lion silver armor with one blow!
Seeing a third party breaking into the battle, the serpentine mecha samurai was secretly taken aback. They all chose to ambush the enemy here because it was secluded and uninhabited, but they didn't expect someone to break in.
The serpentine frowned slightly, and decided to make a quick decision.
"Green snake Wumang sword, unsheathed!"
