Chapter 13: A Matter of Life and Death
The firepower of the more than 1,000 "Fire Bat" fighters was very fierce, but they could not penetrate the protective cover of the "Fire Phoenix." Under the precise firepower of the "Burning Phoenix", the "Firebat" fighter appeared extremely vulnerable. In just a few minutes, hundreds of "Firebat" fighters were turned into space dust.
As if summoned, the remaining more than 100 "Fire Bat" fighters abandoned the "Fire Phoenix" and flew towards the S-class battleship that looked like a huge bat in the distance. The "Burning Phoenix" did not pursue the fleeing "Fire Bat" fighters and did not evacuate.
Ten black beams of light, darker than the deep space of the universe, shot out from the battleship and shot straight towards the "Burning Phoenix".
"Humph!"
The woman in the "Flaming Phoenix" snorted coldly, and the powerful field shield wrapped around the fighter quickly exploded, turning into a powerful energy shock wave.
Ten black beams of light were forcibly blocked 10,000 meters away.
It wasn't a beam, it was ten pitch-black space fighters, the warrior fighters of the Silicon Charm Alliance, and the pilots were all general-level powerhouses.
"A group of rabble, let you see the true combat power of the 'Fire Phoenix' today!"
The energy shock wave is still transmitting to the deep space of the universe, and the form of the "Fire Phoenix" has undergone a wonderful change, transforming from the form of a space fighter into an iron giant with hands, feet, head and body. This is the primary combat form of the "Flaming Phoenix", which is more suitable for one-on-one combat than the previous air combat form. In this form, the combat power of the "Flaming Phoenix" has increased tenfold.
Obviously, when fighting with the "Fire Bat" fighter, the woman did not use the full combat power of the "Fire Phoenix".
"I didn't expect that after a thousand years, someone would be able to control the 'Fire Phoenix' and make it enter the combat form, and this time it finally didn't run in vain."
It is not a sound that comes out, but a wave of consciousness, a direct communication of consciousness.
The woman's brow jumped a few times, and only the strongest warrior who was infinitely close to the king of war could communicate through the consciousness wave.
At least one of the ten generals on the opposite side is one of these beings.
There is no such thing as a military rank in the Silicon Charm Alliance, everything depends on strength. The highest status is the Emperor of War, whose strength is equivalent to that of a Skyware warrior in the Galactic Alliance with an SSS-level Origin Energy Converter. It's just that whether it is the Emperor of War of the Silicon Phantom Alliance or the Skyware Warrior of the Galactic Alliance, they are all legendary existences. Second only to the Emperor of War is the King of War, whose strength is slightly weaker than the Earth Soul Warrior who has an SS-level Origin Converter in the Galactic Alliance, but is above the Human Warrior who has an S-Class Origin Converter. Below the king of war are a large number of generals with uneven strength. The strongest generals are equivalent to the warriors of the people, and the weakest ones are not even comparable to the tenth-level soldiers with A-rank origin energy converters.
Although the woman's combat power is not up to the level of a human warrior, she is a tenth-level soldier.
If it was just a few ordinary generals, the woman was full of confidence, but in the face of a general whose strength was infinitely close to that of the king of war and comparable to the warriors of Renkui, she was not very sure.
The gap in strength can never be made up by numbers, just as thousands of "Fire Bat" fighters are no match for the "Fire Phoenix". What's more, the woman has no numerical advantage, she has to face ten fighters alone, one of whom also has super strength.
You can't retreat, you can only fight.
Even if you are not an enemy opponent, you can't back down.
The energy shock wave dissipated, and ten black fighters surrounded the "Flaming Phoenix".
"Just a level 10 soldier? I don't know, where did you get the courage. Surrender now, I, Samanto, can spare you from dying and let you be my pet. ”
"Where is all this nonsense!"
The woman snorted angrily, although the voice could not be transmitted in space, but the lightsaber that appeared on the right hand of the "Fire Phoenix" said it all.
Even if she was in a disadvantageous situation, the woman still chose to attack.
It is also the most reasonable option.
Lava Star is located in the heart of the human federal territory, far from the Greenwich meteorite belt, and there are three surveillance and reconnaissance satellites of the Third Theater Judge Advocate in orbit. Even if the enemy destroys these satellites or blocks communications, the 3rd Theater Command will send warships as soon as they notice the anomaly. Since it is impossible to defeat these enemies, it is necessary to wait for the fleet to arrive. Rushing is the ideal option.
If the enemy had been allowed to strike first, the Flaming Phoenix would have been destroyed in no time.
"If you want to die, I will fulfill you!"
Ten black fighters scattered at the same time, nine of them surrounded the "Flaming Phoenix," and only one fighter plane headed towards the "Flaming Phoenix."
It was a flying serpentine plane, and its shape changed as it rushed towards the Flaming Phoenix. Transform into a burly black giant with a huge black sword in his hand. It didn't have any lustre, but the knife was extremely sharp.
In the open space, a red fighter plane and a black fighter plane fought together, like a fiery giant and a dark devil fighting for their lives. From a distance, it looked more like a crimson flame flying and jumping in the boundless void.
The other nine black fighters did not join the warband, but only surrounded the "Burning Phoenix" in the middle.
The S-class battleship of the Silicon Phantom Alliance was slowly approaching, flying towards Lava Star to be exact. The woman aboard the "Burning Phoenix" noticed this. After discovering a large number of "Firebat" fighters flying out of the battleship, I immediately realized that something very important was about to happen. It's just that she was entangled by the fighter plane piloted by that top general, and the woman lacked the skills, let alone prevent the battleship from approaching the lava star.
Soon, dozens of "Firebat" fighters spread out in front of the battleship and lined up in a formation.
"Bronze wall and iron wall array".
The woman could see it very clearly, it was a defensive formation often used by the fighters of the Silicon Charm Alliance in air combat, mainly used to intercept fleeing enemy planes.
Could it be that a warplane flew out of Lava Star?
"Look, your opponent is me!"
A violent cry sounded in her mind, although the woman's reaction was fast, but it was still half a beat slower, and the lightsaber raised by the "Fire Phoenix" just happened to block the slash from the black fighter. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of the "Fire Phoenix", it would definitely be split in half by this knife. Even so, the "Fire Phoenix" was also split into the air, and it retreated thousands of meters in the void before it could be stabilized.
At this time, nine other black fighters came up, and it seemed that they wanted to deal with the "Burning Phoenix" in one fell swoop.
The situation was originally unfavorable for the "Flaming Phoenix," but now it is besieged by nine enemy planes, and all of them are general-level opponents, and the situation of the "Flaming Phoenix" is even more unfavorable.
It was at this time that a spaceship burst out of the crimson atmosphere of the Lava Star.
It was a small ship, very similar in appearance to a fast cargo ship, but it was dilapidated, as if it was about to explode and disintegrate.
The place where the spacecraft rushed out was right in front of those "fire bat" fighters.
This is the "Hope", the spaceship controlled by Yang Yi.
"We succeeded."
"I didn't expect us to leave Lava Star alive."
"We're still alive, can anyone tell me it's not a dream, we're really leaving Lava Star?"
In the cockpit of the spaceship, Ah Ling, the monkey, the handsome guy and the fat sister-in-law cheered and danced excitedly, Brother Li was inspecting the instrument in front of him, and Amy was solemn.
Before rushing out of the atmosphere, the ship lowered its heat shield, so it was impossible to see the outside lucidity.
"Everyone, be careful, all get back to their places." Yang Yi's words came from the speaker, very anxious, and in a commanding tone.
At this time, the heat shield has automatically detached.
It was a disposable, self-extricating ship after it had rushed out of the atmosphere and could not be used again. This also means that the spacecraft cannot re-enter the atmosphere, otherwise it will burn up due to the high temperature caused by friction with the air when entering the atmosphere, and the personnel on board will die.
Seeing dozens of fighters in front of them, the people in the cockpit were immediately stunned.
Amy's expression was still calm, as if it had been expected. While the others sat down and fastened their seatbelts, she got up and left the cockpit.
"Oh my God, we're finished, we're dead."
"What now? I don't want to die, I haven't lived enough. ”
The monkey and the handsome guy were the first to scream, and their faces turned even pale.
"Sit down, everybody, we'll be fine." Yang Yi's voice still came from the speaker.
At this time, several "Firebat" fighters that rushed to the front began to fire at the spacecraft, but the flying artillery fire was all blocked by the rising strong field shield.
Under fierce artillery fire, the ship began to accelerate.
Inside the cabin, Yang Yi's whole body was shrouded in blinding white light, and a pillar of light like substance poured out from his chest and poured into the ring above his head. It is the electrical energy released by the "source of life" that is used to drive the ship's thrusters and powerful field generators.
Yang Yi didn't forget Amy's warning, but at this time, he couldn't care so much.
It's just a cargo ship, and if the powerfield shield collapses, the Firebat's cannonballs can blow the ship to pieces. It's just that the protective shield of the powerful field will not last long, and it is necessary to fight out of the encirclement as soon as possible and get rid of the enemy planes, otherwise it will be blasted through by shells sooner or later.
Yang Yi had to drive the ship's thrusters, and he also had to prop up the powerful field shield, and the energy output had exceeded his maximum capacity. Although he didn't feel any pain, when he held up the power field shield, Yang Yi clearly sensed that his will was collapsing. This is a phenomenon caused by the reaction of the original energy, and Yang Yi's consciousness burden will become heavier and heavier, and when he is completely crushed, he will explode and die.
As his consciousness drifted, the things that had impressed Yang Yi in the past eighteen years and made him unforgettable for the rest of his life surfaced, flashing before his eyes like a slide. In fact, many things that Yang Yi had forgotten when he was a child, but now they are extremely clear, as if they had just happened. These beautiful, tragic, joyful, painful, sweet, and bitter memories eroded Yang Yi's consciousness like poison.
Is this what Amy said "something more terrible than pain"?
Grandma's, why do you want to do so much, it's a big deal to die!
After making up his mind, Yang Yi eliminated distracting thoughts and concentrated on controlling the "source of life".
