Chapter 29: Crisis
"Captain, the other party destroyed the drone we sent, and the negotiation broke down!" The liaison officer on the bridge of the USS Faith reported bad news.
"Damn it!" Márquez cursed to himself and clenched his fists, his expression a little helpless.
After receiving the report from Attack a few days ago, Faith immediately picked up speed and headed for Planet X-352. However, when they reached the edge of the star system, they were confronted by another ship of the same rank. Judging from that non-mainstream magical style, it should belong to the Hismael's space battleship.
Since the Guise won the War of the Three Clans and obtained the information of the Hesmails, they actually have a great deal of recognition for the Hesmails, who originated from the same civilization. It's a pity that the Hesmael people at that time had long since left the Guise system, and there was no real communication and exchange between the two sides.
After learning that the Zerg were also in the Scorpio system, Márquez thought that he might meet Heathmail again. After being driven out of the Gies system by Jannamer, the Gies have changed their minds a lot, and they don't mind sharing the Scorpio system with other races, especially the Heathmails, who have the same civilization.
In Márquez's mind, Jannamer was the enemy of the highest priority, and there was no way to compromise. If they can't fight alone, then the Heathmails are the best allies, and even the Zerg can be used to a limited extent.
It's just that reality has given him a slap in the face, and the Heathmails are obviously different from him, and even the drone that released friendly radio waves can't get close, and they are shot down directly.
"Captain, could it be the other party's advent apostles who are in the way, you said before that different apostles coming from multiple parties will be competitors." The adjutant who temporarily replaced Dongyue asked suspiciously.
"It shouldn't have anything to do with the apostles, Heather is on our side. Everyone will value the advent apostles, but they will not take their opinions as the course of action. Márquez sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Use the lowest force and try to disengage as much as possible, the Hesmael are not enemies." We have done wrong in the past, at least now we must try to get a helper who can live in peace. ”
"Captain, if we change the cruise route, we won't be able to reach ......the X-352 planet within the given time," the adjutant said with an ugly face, calculating for a moment.
"This is also something that can't be helped, with the level of the battleship opposite, it can't decide the winner in a short time." Marquez glanced worriedly at the starry sky and said with a solemn expression, "I hope the Attack and Winter Moon will hold out until we arrive." ”
……
"My lord, a signal wave from the silver electricity asks us to get out of here and head to the alternate relay planet!" A "birdman" with wings on his back glides through the air and lands beside Wolf, his wings magically shrinking and merging into his body.
"Leave?" Wolf turned to his companion in surprise, "Does it have a reason?" ”
Silver Electricity is the cosmic creature that Wolf and the others have lived in and provided to them Jannamer's descendants. As a mature Jannamer, Yindian's thinking form is very different from that of planetary life, and he basically does not communicate with Wolf and others, but once he communicates, it must be a very important thing.
However, the decision was not a command for the apostles, but a form of notice. The apostle can hear it or not, and the silver lightning is not affected by the apostle, and if it really wants to leave alone, then Wolf's team can't stop it.
"Yes, it's just that there are some incomprehensible parts in the signal wave of silver electricity, translated in our language, it seems to say that the cradle of life is sacrosanct?!" The apostle in charge of the message had a strange expression.
"The cradle of life? Jannamer's own idea is to clean up the star of life and restore it to its original ecology, and will it care about the cradle of life? Wolf couldn't help but chuckle, but then he thought of something, and his pupils narrowed, "unless it's not talking about planetary life......
Just as Wolf's face changed dramatically, their feet suddenly trembled slightly. The vast lake in the distance, with a circle of ripples on the water, soon tumbled like boiling water.
"Bang!" With a deafening roar, a huge space battleship burst straight out of the water, its round and pitch-black bow plunging into the sky like Optimus Prime. Around it, dozens of humanoid mechs guarded it like loyal guards, with bright flames like bright meteors rising from the sky.
"How is that possible? We've scouted the lake, and there's nothing down but a ruined Zerg base! The Apostle beside Wolf stared dumbfoundedly at the Attack that broke through the water.
"It's underground, not underwater, I should have thought of it!" Wolfe's eyes lit up, he high-fived him with his fist, and said appreciatively, "There's a very smart guy in this gang!" ”
"Hmph, so what, with its size...... It should only be a small warship, and it can't break through the blockade of silver and electricity! Translucent wings grew behind Wolfe's companion again, and he soared into the air, "My lord, I'll gather my companions and stop them!" ”
"No, stupid, why don't you want to think about it, they hide it well, why do they take the initiative to expose themselves!" Wolf's face sank, and he looked up and scolded, "The most important thing for us now is to leave the ...... immediately."
"Boom~~" Wolf's words did not fall, the Moon Lake area where they were, no, it should be said that the continent where the Moon Lake was located suddenly lifted upward.
The Attack, which had just broken through the water, including its Soldier Mecha Regiment and Wolf's group, all "landed" to the ground again, or the ground faced them, forcing everyone to land.
Looking down from the atmosphere, this continent in the Moon Lake area is no longer a continent, but a huge pillar of rock is being held up. However, this is not a single stone pillar, and if you zoom out a little further, you can see that more than a dozen stone pillars of no less continental scale are rising on the surface of the planet X-352.
Planet X-352 disintegrated entirely, like a large planet-sized octopus waking up from its sleep and beginning to stretch its body and wave its tentacles.
And Qin Lun and the others, even the re-falling Attack was so small that it was almost invisible at this time. It's like a flea on its body, no, it's not a good metaphor for a flea, it's more like a bacterium that's so small that it's invisible.
"Grass, it's big this time!" Wolf struggled twice and then gave up trying. The acceleration brought by the sharp rise of the continent pressed him to the ground, and even plunged deep into the rock layer.
Wolf knew that he would not be able to escape the weight of gravity until this acceleration slowed down. After sinking into the stone layer, he could not see the other companions, and the end of the small battleship. However, as long as those people are not dead, it is estimated that they are worse than him now, after all, he is the strongest one here.
"I hope Yindian can deal with this cosmic creature!" Wolfe's heart was full of unease, and he was rarely a little depressed.
After entering this world, Jannamer's strength gave him a burst of confidence. In fact, after studying the main quest, Wolf thinks that the Holy Light team has drawn a good lottery.
The Zerg, Heathmail, and Gies, including their Jannamer, in this battle of the four regiments, Wolf thinks that his side has the highest chance of winning, after all, from the perspective of the level of the battleship, Jannamer is definitely the strongest force among the four parties.
This is also the reason why Wolf did not hesitate to communicate with Yindian after arriving in this star system, allowing it to get directly close to the planet X-352. Since there is silver and electricity to rely on, it is the best choice to break the game by brute force.
Even if there are three opponents, the apostle-level combat power is simply insignificant under the oppression of Yinning, which is also the source of Wolf's confidence. It's a pity that Wolf is still a little ill-considered, as Qin Lun said, his logical thinking is also limited by his previous world experience.
In fact, in the calculation of the shattered starry sky, everyone's guidance tasks are correct. The Zerg had a home-field advantage first, but for some reason, they couldn't play it until they ceded that advantage to the weaker team of Rangers who had entered the world early.
Then, in this four-regiment battle, Jannamer, who is like the Faith, the Rubik's Cube battleship of the Heathmails, the Zerg battleship, including Wolf and others, will not be able to intervene in the war between the apostles until everyone decides the winner.
The reason for this lies in the planet X-352, which is not a planet at all, but an egg of a cosmic creature. It has been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years, and there is even a complete parasitic life system on it.
If Qin Lun and the others had a battle on it, would it wake it up if there was a cosmic bombardment like the Attack? The answer is no, the Attack can take out the Zerg base with one shot, but it can't break its eggshell.
Perhaps the Faith-class space battleship may be able to disturb it. However, the Faith-class space battleship will definitely scan the X-352 planet before the battle to avoid causing the planet's inner core to explode. As a result, Faith would have been aware of the X-352 planet before the bombardment and would have abandoned the shelling.
The Faith, the Zerg battleships, and the Rubik's Cube battleships, including the Hesmael, are all city-level in size, but a city is only the size of a sesame for a planet, and it won't wake up the things in the eggshell if you don't move much.
Jannamer, the mature body that Wolf and the others relied on, was much larger than the above-mentioned battleships, and it was almost the difference between a pancake and a sesame seed in comparison.
There is nothing wrong with the calculations of the Shattered Starry Sky in this regard, the only thing that cannot be calculated is the mind of the cosmic creature itself. The cosmic creature was still in its incubation period, and it would take millions of years for it to wake up.
It's just that it's different from Jannamer, compared to it, Jannamer can't be considered carnivorous, at most it's a scavenging bacteria, and this cosmic creature is a real carnivorous cosmic creature.
After Jannamer entered the atmosphere, it was finally awakened, and it actually broke its shell and began to wake up on its own initiative. The reason is that it has been hungry for hundreds of thousands of years, and the first smell of Jannamer makes it whet its appetite!
"Get as close to me as you can, and prepare to assault that small battleship!" Wolf gritted his teeth and sent a message to his companions.
He had no way of understanding the cosmic creature's thoughts, but the High Apostle, with his unparalleled experience in his adventures, quickly sensed the potential danger. If the Jannamer were to defeat the cosmic creatures beneath their feet, they would immediately lose their existence and become rootless duckweed in this vast universe.
