Chapter 324: Star Sea Hunter (3)
Panic, panic, screams of pain...... All sorts of sounds resounded throughout the Tranquility, and the Tranquility was finally no longer quiet. www.biquge.info Malcolm Reynolds sat quietly in his captain's seat, trying to use the experience he had gained in the Battle of Quiet Valley to find a way out for the crew, but he still had no clue.
Everything was telling him one thing, that they were doomed this time. The ship was badly damaged, the ammunition energy was seriously insufficient, the morale of the crew was low, and the entire fleet had just experienced a terrible battle from which it had not yet recovered...... Unexpectedly, the battle in Tranquility Valley did not kill him, and he was lucky to survive the fierce confrontation with Celias, but he was planted in the hands of a group of rabble pirates, and his fate is really full of unknowns.
"Thor, the Parilanta and the Christian are destroyed, and the crew is destroyed! The Paulitas and Kleina were damaged by bullets and incapacitated...... "One bad news after another reached Marl's ears. Inside the bridge, the crew who heard the news all looked at their legendary commander with desperate and hopeful eyes.
"Order all ships to concentrate their energy, ammunition, and crews on the Firefly as quickly as possible, and at the same time, send a contact message to the enemy to stop firing. The enemy's purpose is nothing more than to get rid of Celes' in our possession, and tell them that if we don't do what we say, we'll destroy all of Siliath's corpses! Malcolm's eyes glazed over, and he gave orders to the communications officer in an unmistakable voice.
"Thor, are you really going to hand over the body of Silis? It cost us a lot of money to get a complete corpse of Siliath. As long as this Celestial arrives at Sattell, it will be able to exchange for more than a dozen fast destroyers like the Tranquility," Captain Revo of the Tranquility asked unwillingly.
"Life is more important than anything else, and the whole bunch of people in the shelter still need us, and we can't die a senseless death like this," Malcolm replied in a firm voice, as if even the most difficult circumstances could cause Marl's thoughts to fluctuate.
"The signal is on," the communications officer reported, and at the same time transmitted the parsed signal to the planar projection.
"Who am I, isn't this our great hero, Captain Malcolm Reynolds? I didn't expect us to meet on such an occasion, it's really fate" As soon as the image opened, a young man in gorgeous clothes appeared on the projection, looking at Malcolm who was sitting in the command seat.
"I know what your purpose is, we are willing to hand over the body of Celestia and leave all the ships except the Serenity behind, in the hope that you will spare us a way. Otherwise, we would rather destroy the corpse of Celes than let it fall into your hands.
Another thing I want to tell you is that while we are on the phone, our crew and energy ammunition have all been concentrated on the Tranquility, although the current Tranquility is not fully loaded with energy ammunition, but it is still certain to break away from your pursuit.
So, don't try to annihilate us and let us go, otherwise, once we get out of trouble, you will wait for the crazy revenge from us, I Malcolm will do what he says" What is stunning is that in such a desperate and dangerous situation, Malcolm still does not hurry to talk to the enemy, and threatens the enemy with the advantage with domineering.
"Captain Malcolm, who is worthy of a last resort, can still find a way to survive in such an adverse situation. You won, the purpose of our trip is only to ask for money, as long as you hand over the corpse of Celias, we will let you go, not even your few broken ships" The young pirate leader was also very happy, and after knowing that he could not wipe out the enemy, he became "generous".
"Then now you stand back, and we will each take Silas as as the midpoint, and each of us will retreat two hundred standard units," Marl prescribed. Two hundred standard units is a distance of two million kilometers, and by the time both sides have left two hundred standard units, the Tranquility is already nearly five million kilometers away from the other side. At this distance, the Tranquility had complete leeway to leave with ease.
"Let's retreat" The young man waved his hand and gave the order to the pirate fleet.
"Boom!" Just when the two sides reached an agreement and were about to start complying with it, the unexpected happened. A huge battleship suddenly appeared between the two fleets. The fleet was huge, and its length reached a terrifying one hundred and fifty grams, almost twice as long as the main battleship of the Alliance Throne class.
The giant ship is in the shape of a long spindle, with a huge ellipsoid in the middle, and four thick "tails" stretching out on both sides, and the tails are gradually elongated and tapered towards the ends, and the ends have become sharp like the tip of a knife. The giant ship was covered with thick armor, and the surface of the armor also had a red energy shield that flickered and refreshed. With his years of experience, Malcolm immediately estimated the approximate combat strength of this huge ship, but unfortunately, in front of it, the Serenity had no chance of winning like a panel against a battleship.
"Whoosh!" An unmanned individual fighter plane with a length of more than 30 meters ejected from the giant ship, and in just a few moments, more than 500 individual fighters ejected. After flying out of the mothership, these crude-looking individual fighters immediately surrounded more than a dozen pirate ships, and then opened fire in an instant without even saying hello. The red energy cannon easily shot through all the pirate ships, then disintegrated into countless cold shards in a rumbling explosion.
“……!” Not long after leaving the corpse of Celestiath, the crew of the Serenity was stunned, and even Malcolm, who had always been unshaken by thunder and tarzan collapsed before him, was stunned. Who would have thought that the current world would come so quickly, and the pirates who had an absolute advantage just now would end up dead in the next second.
"......Snort" There was a flicker on the plane projection, and immediately after, a strange face appeared on the plane projection, and the image looked at Malcolm with a scrutinizing eye, and then conveyed an irresistible order in a cold voice: "Stay where you are, and we will go over and 'rescue' you immediately!" ”
As soon as the sound stopped, the huge battleship "slowly" flew towards the Tranquility. The speed of the giant ship seems to be quite slow, but it is actually extremely fast, the distance of thousands of kilometers is in front of you in an instant, and when all the crew members come to their senses, the figure of the giant ship has been lost in front of them, and a flat continent has appeared, a steel continent composed of armored alloys......
