Chapter 8: The Counterattack Begins

Right now, Nebula is repairing the ship's engines in a somewhat secluded part of the dark galaxy.

Previously, due to the battle with the Third Fleet of the Liberty Tree Corporation, it was put together. As a result, the spacecraft was severely damaged and needed to be repaired urgently.

Fanker: [Haruka, how's it going?!] ]

Haruka: [The situation is slightly better than expected, but with the parts we have in hand, we can restore about 80% of the original parts at most, and we have to bring new parts with us.] ]

Fanker: [How long will it take to start the engine at the earliest?] ]

Haruka: [At the very least, it should be repaired to about 50 percent, and it will take about 10 hours.] ]

Fanker: [Where we are, I guess it will take so much time for the other party to find us.] ]

Haruka: [Then hurry up!] ]

And near the two of them were Filina and Kenichi.

The two of them were using something that resembled a celestial telescope, looking around.

Kenichi: [How?] Is there a situation?! ]

Filina: [Not yet, but I don't know how long it will last.] ]

Kenichi: [I can only hope that I won't be found so soon.] ]

Filina: [I won't have much of a problem here, you can go and see if you need help over there.] ]

Haruka: [It just so happens that Kenichi you go to the ammunition depot and get all the parts so that Fanker and I can concentrate on repairing them.] ]

Kenichi: [No problem.] ]

At this point, Haruka began to speed up repairs.

On the side of Warfield ships.

[They have not been found yet.] ]

Girl: [Expand your search, no matter what, find it quickly.] ]

[I see.] ]

Girl: [I'll go back to my room and rest first, and tell me if there's anything.] ]

[Yes.] ]

And Ling, on her side, also began to prepare for the next action.

Ling: Based on the time I entered, I guess I could barely get in time for them to find the Nebula. Then, if you want to take down the Warfield warships, their strength is necessary. However, the heavily damaged Nebula can hardly become a useful combat force, but the Xingqi alone can't cause any useful attacks on Warfield warships, so what should be done?

Are you really going to start that system?! But so far, it has not been tried to be used, and it will be combined as soon as it comes, and the burden on the Nebula is too great.

However, this should be the best chance to fight back. Bet once?

No, given the strength of the opposing commander, it is useless to bet once. If you want to gamble, bet on everything. It can only be done the first time!!

A few hours later, Haruka and Fanker had repaired to about 30 percent. At this point, the ship's system is also beginning to recover.

Ellie: [The system is gradually recovering.] ]

Haruka: [How long does it take to fix the system?] ]

Ellie: [With my current computing power, it will take 2 hours.] However, with everyone's help, it should be able to be shortened to 1 hour. ]

Haruka: [Then Filina and I will go inside and help Ellie fix the system first, while Fanker continues to repair the engine outside, and Kenichi will be in charge of scouting.] ]

Fanker:[OK! ]

Kenichi: [No problem!] ]

After more than an hour of system repair, the system was finally completely repaired. Haruka first activated the particle circulation system to replenish the spaceship's energy, and then activated the repair robot to help repair it.

However, at this time, they received a communication from Ling.

Ellie: [I received a communication from Ling!] No, it's a video file! ]

After hearing the news, everyone immediately gathered in the control room.

Haruka: [That guy, why can't you communicate with us properly in the form of a video?!] ]

Filina: [Probably considering the poor communication.] ]

Ellie: [The password is successfully unlocked, and I'm broadcasting.] ]

At this time, on the home screen, Ling's appearance popped up.

Ling: [I know a little bit about your situation.] I'm guess I'm repairing the Nebula right now. Given the difficulties in communication, I can only make a long story short.

Next, I want you to attack the Warfield-type ships. ]

Fanker: [Huh?!] Does this guy really know what kind of environment we're in right now? ]

Ling: [If I had said that, Fanker would have objected at first.] ]

Kenichi: [I even predicted this.] ]

Haruka: [No, I just know that guy too well.] ]

Ling: [I know it's reckless, but it's the best and probably the last chance to fight back.] So, I hope you guys can do it. Next, I will briefly explain the plan of this battle...............]

I'm skipping it here, because it's not good to let everyone know so quickly.

A few minutes later, the video was finished.

Fanker: [That guy wants us to do such a dangerous thing.] The engine hasn't been repaired yet! ]

Haruka: [How long will it take?] ]

Fanker: [By the time the battle begins, if it's not discovered by the enemy, it should only be repaired to about 60 percent.] ]

Haruka: [Alright, let's continue repairing it.] You can fix as much as you can. ]

Kenichi: [But do you really want to carry out Ling's plan?] No matter how you look at it, it's hard for us to cooperate on both sides. ]

Filina: [No, Ling said that too.] This is our best plan and the last. If we miss it, then the enemy's defensive psychology will become higher and higher, and it will be difficult for us to win the battle. ]

Haruka: [And this risk, Ling should have already taken this into account.] If you want to move forward, defeating Warfield ships is the best. After all, it is necessary to take into account that there will be a situation where the front and back will be caught in the future. ]

Kenichi: [That's right.] From this battle alone, it can already be seen that the commander of the other side is very strong, and it is just a fleet. If the commander of the fleet in front is also so powerful, or even more powerful, it will be very disadvantageous to us. Now if you have the chance, you can defeat one is one. ]

Fanker: [However, the lack of power is the most serious problem.] How will you dodge so many attacks when the time comes! And the overall damage hasn't been repaired yet! ]

Ellie: [Just fix it while you're fighting.] ]

Fanker: [Huh?!] ]

Ellie: [The number of repair robots will be reduced slightly, but it will help somewhat.] ]

Fanker: [Okay, well, since you've all said that, I'll just do it!] ]

So, what exactly is Ling's plan?! What is that so-called new system?!

Moreover, what kind of secrets exist in this dark galaxy?!

Now, a little bit about Ling's brother, Kai.

At the secret base of the Benten Pirates, the Triumph has been repaired.

Kay: [Now that the repair is complete, let's get ready to go.] ]

Suzu: [Let's go?] Are you going to chase them?! ]

Kai: [No, the sea of stars isn't in there.] ]

Suzu: [How do you know?!] ]

Kay: [Intuitive.] And my dad also left something important, let's go get it now. ]

Chuda: [Captain's father, isn't that the legendary deputy leader of Blanton's First Pirates in the universe, Langley?!] What did he leave for you?! ]

Kay: [Actually, I don't know.] I only know what he said before he set off to find Xinghai, leaving a useful clue for me and putting it in his secret base. ]

Suzu: [Secret base?] ]

Kay: [Don't worry, I know where.] ]

Chuda: [Then why didn't we get that clue before!] ]

Kay: [Stupid!] How can you rely on Dad! ]

Chuda: [...... now]

Kay: [Things have changed now, but it's left to me anyway, so don't take it for nothing.] ]

Chuda: [That's fine...]

So, what exactly is the clue that Kai is talking about?! Is the sea of stars really not in the Dark Galaxy?
