Flying in the asteroid belt, the Frost Seeker is constantly changing direction, both to avoid the impact of the larger asteroids and to prevent enemy weapons from locking onto itself.

The mech team led by Marco and Abbott has already taken those Federation mechs into the ship. Joriette and the Wolf Ape Squad are still cruising outside the ship, in order to prevent the Federation from sending more mechs and fighters.

Luffy didn't send any more mecha troops, but instead approached the battleship formation within 200 kilometers of the asteroid belt, and pinched the Frost Seeker in the upper and lower directions of the asteroid belt. Countless light-speed guns and torpedoes were being fired from the Third Fleet's warships, but it seemed impossible to hit the Frost through the dense asteroid swarm. Torpedoes can't penetrate those asteroids, and even if the energy weapon comes into contact with the Frost Seeker, it will first penetrate more than a dozen meteorites, and the energy has long been consumed, not to mention that the Frost Seeker itself has an energy shield.

But Luffy didn't give up his efforts. The pilots of the Air Force have sent a recovery unit to recover it, and it should be able to bring back most of the personnel. But Luffy found that they were still going around in circles with each other so far, without the slightest progress.

The original contempt was gone, and Luffy was only extremely cautious and angry with the alien battleship in front of him.

"Hermione, let your fleet of ships into the asteroid belt. We're going to catch that big cunning fish! Lieutenant General Luffy said in the communicator.

Hermione, the captain of the strategic cruiser USS Elizabeth, was a female captain in her fifties. She is also a veteran of the Third Fleet, previously the captain of an attack ship, and a year ago she was promoted to the captain of the Elizabeth strategic cruiser, the previous captain was a war hero in his seventies, who honorably completed his service and went home to retire.

After Hermione took over the Elizabeth, she had only experienced the war with the new country. At that time, the Elizabeth rushed to the first front and played a great role in the battle to defeat the fleet of the new Chinese state.

The formation of the Elizabeth included the strategic cruiser the Elizabeth. Two torpedo boats also have a destroyer and a frigate. Originally, there were two D-class Yamato attack ships, but now they have been sent to the Paradise Island side to carry out the mission.

Hermione received Luffy's command, and without any hesitation, the huge triangular bow of the Elizabeth turned and swooped into the asteroid field. The other four warships also sailed into the meteorite-laden area with the Elizabeth.

Li De noticed Elizabeth's movements, which was undoubtedly Luffy's further temptation, and he also wanted to force him out of the asteroid belt.

"How much shield energy is left?" Li De asked suddenly.

"And eighteen and sixteen."

"Ready, we're going to rush out. Return the Wolf Ape Squad to the ship. Li De ordered.

"Ready to go?" Junlong asked puzzled.

"Yes. It should be over there. Whatever the outcome, we're leaving. Li De said. Now the situation is that his own warship is being chased and beaten. After a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no new fleet to come to support, so it is better to leave quickly.

Joliette returned to the Frost with Wolf Seven and the others. They had just entered through the bottom hatch, and the air pressure in the cabin was gradually returning. However, before the wolf ape-man could get off the mecha, he heard the ship's radio ring again.

"All be ready for a collision! Prepare for a collision! ”

"Collision?" Joliette's eyes widened as she looked at the virtual screen, "Lide, what's going on?" ”

On a virtual screen to the left of Captain Lide's seat, Joriette's image came from a virtual screen, with a silver-white wolf hair and a wolf head with pale blue eyes.

"We're going back. I got a lot of mechas, but I can't always stay here. Li De explained.

"Get ready to shift! Three! ”

"What haven't we done yet?" Joriette was a little dissatisfied. She had a rare chance to fight, but she didn't kill many enemies, and her time was spent maneuvering.

"The next time you meet a smaller one, you'll have a good time!" Li De said.

"Two!"

"Humph! Never mind. Joriette turned off the communicator with some displeasure.

Li De only felt a burst of amusement, the dignified ninth-order Skywalker was suffocated? The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"One!"

All of the Frost's engines suddenly reversed. The speed is drastically reduced. The speed of the battleship suddenly changed from more than 30 kilometers per second to a standstill, and then began to accelerate to the rear again.

The Elizabeth, who was chasing after the Frost Seeker, had just dodged a meteorite with a diameter of one kilometer, and suddenly found that the Frost Seeker, which was still dozens of kilometers away, appeared in front of her eyes. Captain Hermione yelled and told the helmsman to make an emergency stop.

Inside the Frost Seeker. When everyone is prepared, they are still on their backs. The speed of the battleship slowed down, but the ram had not yet come.

Inside the Elizabeth, the crew is pressed against the console or wall by a powerful inertia. Everyone cursed Newton in their hearts, why should inertia be proportional to the speed of deceleration?

Just as Captain Hermione was relieving a little, there was another loud shake that caused her to fall from her captain's position. She looked up, only to see a black hole in the engine jet.

"Ah~!" Hermione shouted. She had never felt like this after being in the army for so long, she felt that the Grim Reaper seemed to be behind her, and the scythe in Death's hand was already on her neck, ready to cut down at any moment.

The particle jet engine spews out a stream of pale blue particles, and the particle stream with an initial velocity of one-half of the beam brings a powerful impetus to the spacecraft, and it also has terrifying power. When the streams of particles ejected from the Frost's main thrusters directly onto the bow of the Elizabeth, the bridge in the middle of the battleship felt the heat of an oven. High-velocity particles can pass through the deck and protective glass and hit the human body directly, giving people the feeling of heating up in the body, like in a giant microwave oven, the body is boiling from the inside out.

Hermione felt like she could barely breathe, and although it only took three seconds for the Frostseeker to accelerate and leave the Elizabeth, Hermione felt like three hundred years long.

The high-temperature particles from the particle thrusters were ejected onto the bow of the Elizabeth, which was then used as a catapult version to fly straight above the asteroid belt at an unimaginable speed.

The Missouri was right in the straight line where the Frost Seeker was accelerating. Although Luffy couldn't see what was happening in the asteroid belt, the Frost Seeker flew towards him like a dragon out of water, which scared him into a cold sweat. (To be continued.) )
