Chapter 9: The Assassin in the Shadows (No. 9) 3

"Sir, this is ......" The first mate turned his face towards the captain, his face full of doubt. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's too stressful, and when you get out of the tunnel, you'll be fine." The captain said softly, and shook his head at the same time, although the captain did not lose his mind because of the beauty surging in his heart, but the beauty is still surging like a tide, and the captain cannot have a little influence, at least now the captain speaks softly and smiles is the best proof.

"How long is it until you get out?" The captain looked at the first mate and asked softly.

"I'll see." A three-dimensional image screen in front of the chief officer pulled in front of him, and the numbers that kept beating in front of him had all been reset to zero, "Twenty seconds left, sir, there are still nineteen seconds left." ”

"Put the screen on the window and look at it together." The captain pointed to the floor-to-ceiling observation window, and the first mate nodded at the captain's movements, pushed the screen in his hand forward, and the screen flew out lightly, and snapped onto the floor-to-ceiling observation window, the orange numbers were still beating, and there were fourteen seconds left.

"Hold on, can you visually detect the exit."

"I can't see it, sir, but the screen shows that we're very close to the exit, and the distance is unfathomable." The first mate frowned and looked at the screen in front of him, and opened his mouth to report.

"What about the current speed? Is there anything unusual about the hull? The captain called up two three-dimensional screens and began to record flight records on them, while his mouth kept asking the first mate.

"The current speed is 1.2C, and the hull is not abnormal, which is no different from normal driving." The first mate looked at the information on the organic superconducting glass screen in front of him, like a captain's report.

"Pay attention to deceleration when coming out, we can't withstand such acceleration in a normal universe." The captain looked up and prompted.

"Yes, sir." The first mate replied.

At this point, the time on the timer has become a single digit.

"Five seconds to get out, four, three, two, one, out!" The first mate shouted loudly, and at the same time clicked the faster-than-light engine stop button, the battleship immediately began to slow down, and when there were still 0.02 seconds before it came out, the speed of the battleship was reduced to 310 meters per second, such a speed has not yet reached the limit of the structure of the battleship when it is running, so it is extremely safe to get out at such a speed, but as soon as it came out, the collision warning in the bridge immediately began to scream, and the piercing collision warning woke up all the crew in the sweet memories now, and the captain immediately realized that it was not good.

"BA1A, hull emergency steer!" The captain gave a loud order, saying the code name and the content of the order at the same time. B - single ship command, BA - single ship hull change operation form, BA1 - single ship hull change operation form to the right, and the last A is an emergency, reminding the first mate who operates the combat attitude of the battleship to use the emergency engine to adjust the operating attitude of the battleship.

The first mate who received the command was worthy of being an elite, the captain's voice did not fall, and he immediately operated on the console, in just one second, the command was issued, and the emergency engine on the left side of the battleship operated within 0.1 seconds, pushing the battleship violently to the right, because the battleship could not withstand such a violent push, it made a squeaky scream, and the steel frame structure in the middle of the battleship's hull was slightly bent, although it would not affect the normal operation of the battleship, but it was inevitable to send it to the dock for maintenance.

However, such efforts still did not avoid the fate of the collision, the "flat-topped" destroyer shook suddenly, followed by a piercing sound of metal friction, the outside of the battleship is space, naturally there will be no sound, but the inside of the battleship is filled with oxygen and nitrogen mixture used to maintain air pressure and supply breathing, there is gas can naturally transmit sound, the crew of the hull maintenance department near the collision area can't help but cover their ears in pain to prevent the ultra-high decibel sound from bursting the eardrum. Five seconds after the collision, the entire battleship broke away from the colliding object, and a twenty-meter-long hole appeared in the outer armor of the electromagnetic railgun launcher on the port side of the battleship, and a large number of titanium alloy battle panels broke away from the hull.

"Report the damage! There were no casualties! The captain leaned forward and shouted loudly, and the bridge was busy, returning to the bridge after a large amount of information was sent.

"There were no casualties, sir!"

"The hull was slightly damaged, and the damage reached 2.61 percent!"

"A team of hull maintenance teams has rushed to the scene of the accident to make emergency repairs, but only the damaged internal armor can be repaired."

"Search with radar, what collided with us." The captain breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the information that there were no casualties, this is just a new instrument test, the previous enemy annihilation was incidental, if there would be death in the experiment, who would be willing to do the experiment in the future, doesn't this regard himself as an experiment. Mice.

"Got a reply, sir." The second officer shouted, "The other party's battleship number is S-1209B, and it says that it is a team that came to meet it." ”

"Those who come to answer will hit us when they come to answer." The captain was a little indignant, and then looked at the first mate, "How's the emergency engine going?" ”

"Well, sir, the previous collision didn't affect the emergency engine." The first mate operates on the keyboard to drain the highly radioactive coolant out of the hull. On the hull, the pressure relief valve around the emergency engine on the left side was opened at the same time, and the dark blue radiant coolant with a glowing green light was removed, floating in a vacuum, and drifting away into the distance.

"Sir, there's a message from the other party, let's leave with them and anchor in the space station in Pluto's defensive orbit for repairs."

"It's natural, tell the maintenance team to withdraw, and then follow them, and ask them to send a navigation chart and set it up on the computer."

"This is initiating the request, and it is sent." The second officer looked at the data on the screen, "We've got a response, sir, we're accepting the file, it's been received." ”

The image next to the second mate made a dinging sound, a file was transferred, the second mate imprinted his five fingers on the organic superconducting glass screen, pulled the file out, and then threw it on the electronic sand table, a starry sky map was displayed on the electronic sand table, and a route marked bright red was marked in the starry sky in this area, but because there was no reference nearby, it was impossible to drive manually.

"Setup in progress." The first mate copied an attachment to the route and attached it to the computer, and the battleship was ready, as soon as the first mate clicked the autopilot button, the battleship would start working.

"What's the condition of the engine, is there no problem?"

"No problem, in good condition, sir." The lieutenant looked at the content on the screen, like a captain's report.

"No problem, notify the receiving ship, we are ready."

"Get a response, go now." The second officer reported.

"Let's go." The captain leaned on the backrest, looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling observation window with deep eyes, the destroyer team in front of the "flat-top" destroyer posed in a triangular formation of the Japanese in World War II, the thrusters in the tail were blazing with dazzling blue fire, and the battleship slowly moved forward, and it didn't take long to reach the maximum speed of the battleship, 340 meters per second, heading towards the military dock space station floating around Pluto in the distance, in the message sent by the lead ship of the S-1209 team before, the captain learned that the name of the space station was called"Storm Top".

"Fengyunding" outer space exploration military dock space station. A large artificial satellite complex facility in the outermost ring of mankind.

This is information that can be made public at this time.

"I have received news that the response to the 'Pingding' has been completed, and it is currently on its way to the 'Fengyunding'." The officer who had reported the intelligence before stood in the conference room with the report and reported to Feng Fengxiang and Luer, who were playing chess to relieve their boredom.

"So fast? No, didn't you just enter the tunnel, how did you get there so quickly? Ruhl was a little incredulous, and his eyes were shining brightly.

"Didn't you say it before, there is an absolute vacuum in the wormhole tunnel, there is not even time there, strictly speaking, it is an artificial dimensional space, the objects in it will not be affected by any influence of the four-dimensional space-time, and time will naturally not be reflected in the objects that enter the wormhole tunnel." Feng Fengxiang picked up the white chess pieces that had just been placed and pushed one of the pawns in front of him forward two squares.

"Yes." Ruhl suddenly realized, nodded hurriedly, jumped out of the horse to the right of the black chess piece, and then waved his hand to the officer who reported the situation, "You go down first, and let us know as soon as there is a new situation." ”

"Yes, sir." The officer gave a military salute, watched Feng Fengxiang fly out of the picture on the right, shook his head helplessly, and exited the conference room.

Then the two stinky chess baskets in the conference room were killed.

The wind in the forest was blowing, blowing the turquoise leaves, a group of lightly armed soldiers wearing dark green shoulder capes galloped in the forest, not far away there were a few black shadows kept moving, without relying on any rope equipment just like that in mid-air rapid forward, biting the horse team from a distance, but the two sides were relatively safe for the time being, at least none of them took the lead, whether it was to shoot arrows or shoots.

Ye Zifeng didn't have time to take care of the elf scouts trailing in the distance at this time, but he kept kicking the belly of the horse under his crotch with the heel of a deerskin boot, urging it to speed up, but the war horses in the army were not good at long-distance running, in this era of guns and cannons, the only role of the war horse was to raid at close range, and when the enemy did not react, approach the enemy, and use the spear or saber in his hand to carry out white-edged combat. So far, the hundred people led by Ye Zifeng have run for nearly a kilometer, and the war horse is already exhausted, so naturally it is impossible to speed up, so no matter how Ye Zifeng urges, the speed of the war horse can only be reduced helplessly.

"My king, it's already very close to the river, and it's about five hundred yards away, shouldn't you get off your horse and walk!" A hundred people rode a horse to Ye Zifeng's side, and shouted at Ye Zifeng with a sound higher than the horse's hooves colliding with the hard ground.

"Wait, wait until the distance is reduced to a hundred yards before walking!" Ye Zifeng shouted back, "Pay attention to vigilance, keep an eye on those elves!" ”

"Yes, my king!" The hundred-man leader slowed down his horse slightly, a distance behind Ye Zifeng, and made a slight deployment on the two wings, but the elves in the distance still had no intention of attacking, it seems that the book is right, elves don't like to kill, as long as you don't take the initiative to attack them, they won't attack you.

The horse's hooves kept stepping on the ground, the one hundred and one people were getting closer and closer to the abandoned ferry wharf, the wind in the air seemed to be getting more and more tired, blowing the green leaves that had not yet exhausted their lives all over the sky, the tall and thick poplars kept swaying the crown, the atmosphere was eerie, but Ye Zifeng was still not affected by the surrounding environment, and galloped in the forest.

After a short time, the horse team approached the edge of the forest, and through the woods they would reach the abandoned ferry terminal, Ye Zifeng finally slowed down, and the horse kept panting, and his limbs were a little weak, as if he was about to fall. Ye Zifeng fixed his eyes to look at the situation ahead, but the cool sky made the woods outside a snow-white, without a trace of black shadow for reference, Ye Zifeng was alert, years of combat experience made him ask a trace of nervousness, there was something waiting for them outside the woods, Ye Zifeng turned back his right arm and held the common hilt of the sword on the left side of his waist, and pulled out the sword with a bang.

"Prepare for battle, separate to the left and right, and then dismount." Ye Zifeng shouted loudly, and then dismounted, walked quickly forward to a tree and hid.

The centaur team quickly separated to both sides, and at first glance, this army was the elite, and there was no sound at first when it was divided into two sides, and in less than a minute, all the hundred people got down, armed with long knives and spears, and divided into two rows to find trees to hide, and the soldiers followed their respective squad executives to gather together, waiting for the next order. The leader of the hundred people held the spear in his hand and walked quickly to Ye Zifeng's side.

"My king, everything is ready." The hundred-man chief said softly.

"Forward." Ye Zifeng made a long story short, the same feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, he always felt that something was calling him in the snow white inside and outside, and the indescribable irritability and uneasiness in his heart, Ye Zifeng was eager to know what it was, making him yearn for it so much.

Raising the long sword in his hand, Ye Zifeng has received professional training in equipment fighting at Newcastle Academy, even if the instructor gave a rating of B below him and CDEFG when he graduated, Ye Zifeng didn't believe it, everyone here has A-level professional equipment fighting skills.

Moving forward cautiously and quickly, Ye Zifeng hid behind the trees without running through the five trees, and the elves in the distance had already flown away without a trace, they should have gone to report the news, but Ye Zifeng would not retreat, since he came, he would definitely feel a pity if he didn't look at it. The enemy's main combat class is orcs, those low-IQ creatures who can use simple iron weapons and teeth as weapons, it seems that they have not thought of setting up observation points in the dense forest to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, but from their IQ, it is true, although there is also the possibility that the enemy did not choose to cross the river here, but a strong summon inside and outside let Ye Zifeng himself rule out this possibility, there must be something outside.

Although it is said that centaurs are good at fighting in the dense forest, let a hundred centaurs enter the South American rainforest to fight with the Admiralty "Shadow", and they will definitely occupy the rainforest within ten days, but centaurs have a natural shortcoming, they are afraid of water, and they are afraid to die, so if there is no pontoon bridge or a ferry boat to cross the river, the centaurs will not come to the top of the water, which seems to have something to do with the customs of the centaur family, but there is no detailed explanation in the book that Ye Zifeng reads, and Ye Zifeng naturally does not know too much detail.

Soon, they were about to rush out of the dense forest, and the snow white outside began to blur, and the outlines of objects began to appear, as if they had just begun to draw on blank drawing paper. The closer Ye Zifeng got to the exit of the dense forest, the clearer this scene became, Ye Zifeng couldn't help but hold his breath, and his right hand subconsciously clenched the hilt of the long sword wrapped in patent leather in his hand.

Ye Zifeng hid behind the last number, the scene outside the dense forest was too terrifying, Ye Zifeng didn't dare to look at it, but Ye Zifeng still didn't control his curiosity and poked his head out.

There is no trace of human figure quietly by the calm lake, and the green grass depicts a quiet and leisurely picture, but when it comes to this side of the river, and on the other side is a fiery camp, I don't know what kind of animal fur has not been trimmed at all, so it hangs on a wooden stick that is propped up, although it is not very clear, but Ye Zifeng can still be sure, and some animal skins still have unshaved meat silk swaying with the wind, The orc soldiers in rudimentary black armor gathered around the cauldrons emitting green smoke and stench, and directly fished out pieces of meat of unknown objects with their hands, put them in their mouths and chewed them vigorously. In the middle of the camp was a tall tower that was also fiery red, and it was about seven or eight meters tall when it came to the horizontal, but even that height was not higher than the huge trees around it, which was why the watchtower in Moss Town did not observe the vision here, and the tall trees seriously interfered with the vision of the soldiers in charge of observation. The sense of calling that Ye Zifeng felt came from that tower. But it seems that I can't go today, the camp with three layers inside and three layers outside is full of orc soldiers, and there are no less than three thousand people on a fair visual inspection, and there are only one hundred and one people on my side, although it seems like a lot, but the gap between strength and quantity is too big, Ye Zifeng also felt that the things in the tower could not be done by himself.

But then again, when you come, you have to leave a mark.

"Prepare to release the arrows and shoot all the arrows that you bring out." Ye Zifeng whispered to the hundred-man chief beside him, and then took off the crossbow recorded on his waist, put a short feather arrow in the quiver behind his waist into the arrow slot, and pulled the bowstring. Some of the surrounding soldiers took out the crossbow equipped on their waists, and some took down the longbow they were carrying on their shoulders, and the long arrows and short arrows were wound at the same time, a total of one hundred and one stainless steel arrows were aimed at the orc camp on the other side of the river at the same time, and Ye Zifeng walked out of the shadows of the woods. God seemed to be helping them, the wind stopped at this moment, as if urging them to hurry up and release the arrows, Ye Zifeng felt that the time was coming, so he shouted "release the arrow", the first one pulled the trigger of the crossbow, the short feather arrow turned into a phantom and flew towards the other side of the river, and the others also pulled the trigger or released the finger holding the bowstring, one hundred and one feather arrows flew to the other side of the river with a piercing sound, as if raindrops, in the moment the feather arrows landed, more than eighty orc soldiers died, The hit rate was surprisingly high, but the soldiers did not cheer, but wound the next feather arrow and fired, such a shooting density made the orcs have no time to fight back, just two rounds of shooting there were more than 170 orc soldiers did not shoot arrows to death, but this situation only lasted for two rounds, some orcs with higher IQ took out the worn-out elm longbow from the camp tent and began to shoot back, while the other part of the orcs grabbed the shoddy and worn-out machetes next to them, jumped into the river one after another, and swam against the current to the other side of the river.
