Chapter 113: Disaster Strikes

The wine is good, I don't know if it's the Navy stock or Colonel Leme's personal collection, but the quantity is too small, barely enough to moisten your lips, far from the level of everyone who was drunk at our defense party.\\ Then again, it's far from the time to have a celebration banquet, the cruiser Markenna's Glory is almost intact now, and the Red Pirates are also fighting the space wolves, even if the Imperial Dawn has been smashed in two by us, the remaining half of the hull is still larger than our tonnageThe only good news is that the ship's subspace thrusters are installed in the front section, and with the bow broken and lost, the remaining section has completely lost the ability to escape, and when we free our hands, maybe we can really land and seize it.

The aftermath of the Imperial Dawn was then handed over to the Melved Picker, who was watching from afar. Of course, it was not daring to send troops to land after the aftermath, and all the transport could do was to aim its main guns at the huge wreckage, ready to shoot as soon as there was an unexpected movement.

It's our own aftermath work that is the real big trouble.

Although the alarm was issued in advance to prepare the crew, and the people in the front cabin were evacuated in time, the shock of the impact still caused great casualties to the crew, so that at this time, when many equipment inside the battleship were in an emergency or even a fire broke out, the damage management force that could be used was not sufficient. What's even more strict is that the spacecraft can't stop quickly like a chariot, and the brakes of the spacecraft are a long reverse acceleration process, and since most of the attitude control thrusters are installed in the front of the battleship, they have almost been lost in the collision, and we can't quickly adjust the direction. If we had relied on the difference in power between the different vents of the main thruster to steer, we would have been far away from the battlefield by the time we had made a U-turn. In addition, most of the ship's power system was damaged by different degrees in the impact, and many of the generators and all the thrusters had been turned off for easy maintenance, in other words, we temporarily lost power completely and became a dead ship adrift in space.

It looks like we're not in any better shape than the Imperial Dawn, except that the hull is still intact?

Although it should not be difficult to fight the remaining Red Pirates alone with the strength of wild wolves, and there are no serious consequences for us to leave, it is clear that the problem will not be so simple.

"Report to the captain, an asteroid has appeared in front of our ship, and it is expected to hit in ten minutes!" An officer shouted a warning.

I could see it all through the portholes, and I could see the bow facing the huge rock without any deviation. However, it is impossible to assess its size from the porthole, and from the projector, it is almost ten times the length of our battleship!

A stone with a diameter of more than ten kilometers can be called an incomparably majestic mountain on the surface of any planet, but it is just an inconspicuous speck of dust in the vast space. In normal times, the helmsman only needs to move his fingers to dodge, but at this time, despite the futile efforts of Daddy Lime to almost unscrew the steering wheel, the huge and lifeless battleship still stubbornly rushed towards the behemoth, which was a thousand times larger than himself, and continued to move forward.

"Activate the left thruster array!" The old colonel yelled into the communicator.

It should be too late, even a layman like me can make such a judgment. To get the power system back up and running, it can take more than hours to ignite even a single thruster vent.

"What about others? Can the Wolf and the Melved Picker do something? Someone shouted.

Will it catch up and knock us off course, or will it destroy the asteroid with artillery? They couldn't do anything in ten minutes.

How could this happen? A moment ago, we were toasting our victory, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a desperate situation? I have experienced all kinds of sudden accidents in the defense army, but this accident is still too strict for me.

"Can you do something, my brother?" In desperation, Eddie actually asked me this.

I'm afraid that only the Emperor can cope with this situation, and even if any of the genetic protogens have no choice but to abandon the ship and escape. With my less than 100 tons of effort, you want to move this battleship ten kilometers in ten minutes? Rather than thinking about this, it would be more realistic to find a way to grab a seat in a lifeboat sooner.

After wasting half a day of effort on the steering wheel, Colonel Lem finally returned to reality. He straightened up and said flatly, "We've wasted a lot of time, it's time to evacuate." Inquisitor, Lieutenant Colonel Ilshan, Major Gremion, there are not many lifeboats on board, so let's take as many of your men as you can. Bring Lady Acvetia and her people with you. ”

"What about you?" I asked.

The old colonel replied, "We have spacesuits that will allow us to survive in space for a few hours, as long as we hold out until rescue arrives from the Melved Picker or the Space Wolves." As for myself, of course, I have fulfilled my last duty as a captain. ”

He looked around and raised his hand in salute, "It was my remiss to bring everyone to this situation, and I apologize to you. ”

The officers present stood up and saluted one after another.

"It's our pleasure to serve on the same ship with you!"

"Return triumphantly, or turn into a star!"

……

……

Finally, Sylvia spoke, "I'm also a Navy soldier, how can I leave in this situation?" Besides, Fang is the battle plan I made, and the responsibility for the next accident is completely ...... me."

"What qualifications do you have to take on such a strict responsibility?" The old colonel interrupted her very unceremoniously, "It is precisely because you are a navy that I can order you directly, instead of just making suggestions like I did to others." ”

Beside me, Add also stood up and said slowly in a voice that was not high but very clear, "Sorry to bother you. At this time of life and death, as the emperor's spokesman among mankind, am I also qualified to say something? ”

Everyone turned to salute him and waited for him to speak. In this case, even I was embarrassed to continue sitting.

So Eddie continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, the loyalty and courage that the Emperor has shown in the battle are already known to the Emperor, and he is under his watch! We have never failed the Emperor's trust in us, so in the face of impending death and destruction, we should also hold on to our faith in the Emperor, believing that he will stretch out his hands to shield us from the fate of death and save us from the irresistible calamity of mortals! The Emperor blesses every loyal and brave man, and not just once! ”

He raised his hand to the porthole, pointing to the asteroid that was still far away outside, "We should also believe that when disaster strikes and our flesh, faith, and mechanical strength are weak, at least we still have the emperor to rely on, and he will show us miracles, push away the obstacles in front of us, and accompany us forward!" ”

Look at his posture, as if a single finger could smash an asteroid.

Come on, Lao Tzu is not a navy, but he has no obligation to accompany you to martyrdom, and if you rely on the emperor's blessing when there is still a way to retreat, the emperor and his old man will definitely be unhappy, right?

So I silently calculated the stock of air bottles stored in the space to see how long it was enough for a few people to last. The ship shattered and disintegrated after hitting the asteroid, the debris would fly far away, and there could be a massive explosion, and I would have to teleport far enough to survive. In this case, I can barely manage to escape with two people, Sylvia is one of them, and the other position is better left to Awei, Eddie likes to let him stay, and his survival ability seems to be much stronger than mine.

Although it has always been a disgrace for a soldier to flee, and I have been able to fight until the last minute most of the time, this is a battlefield for the navy, and it is appropriate for me to evacuate in time as a defense force.

Following Add's finger, the asteroid floats in front of us, growing larger and larger as we get closer. Looking at the extremely determined look on Eddie's face, I couldn't help but look forward to it, if the emperor really sent down his miracle, in what way? Is it a cannon that shatters the asteroid, or does it allow the asteroid to grow legs and walk away on its own?

"Six minutes in estimated impact time!" An officer debriefed.

"An explosion occurred on the surface of an asteroid!" Another officer exclaimed.

He zoomed in on the image of the asteroid on the screen, clearly showing a few flickering fires on the surface of the swarthy boulder. However, the scale of this explosion can't even blow up a layer of asteroid skin!

"Where did the shelling come from?"

"There is no shelling, it is the surface of the asteroid that is exploding on its own!"

Seeing that Eddie seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, I asked, "Did you know anything ahead of time?" ”

"Hehe, you're thinking too much." He said.
