"Major, fifteen more seconds."

"Don't worry about that, make a space jump now."

"Major ......"

"It's an order, execute it!"

Although he knew that the order given by Yang Yi did not comply with the regulations, Aaron did not delay any longer, activated the space jumping device, and the "Star Sea" accelerated its sprint at the same time.

At the moment of being hit, the "Star Sea" entered the space jump channel.

By the time Yang Yi and the others came back to their senses, the space jump channel had been closed, and although the energy beam launched by the enemy ship hit the "Star Sea", only a small part of it entered the space jump channel and failed to penetrate the strong protective barrier of the "Star Sea".

Finding out that he was still alive, Yang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the others were also relieved.

"Major, the 'Star Sea' is intact, please give the order."

"Follow the original plan and go home."

"Wait......" Otis came back to her senses suddenly, looked at Yang Yi in disbelief, and said, "The Lei Ling Clan has already taken action, we have to inform Her Majesty the Empress quickly." ”

"We will inform Her Majesty, but not now, and we will not be able to see Her Majesty."

"You ......"

Yang Yi looked at Otis and didn't say anything, because he knew that Otis was a little excited, and he would be able to figure it out after calming down.

At first, the attack came too suddenly.

Although under Aaron's control, the "Star Sea" was very slow when it was evacuated, and it did not cause serious spatial fluctuations, and it was not discovered by the Lei Ling Clan warship near Ling Xiao Star, but Yang Yi and their luck were not good, and they encountered a patrol ship when they were about to leave the star system. To make matters worse, in order to avoid revealing his whereabouts, Aaron did not turn on the active detection device on the "Star Sea". As a result, it was. It wasn't until the patrol ship approached and signaled for inquiry after discovering the "Xinghai" that Yang Yi and the others knew that they had been discovered. Obviously, it was impossible for Yang Yi to let the "Xinghai" stop for inspection, so he could only forcibly break through, and it was attacked.

OK. The "Star Sea" is the most advanced warship of the Star Weaver Clan, and it is equipped with extremely advanced space jumping devices.

At first, if you enter the space jump passage a little later, even if it is half a second, the "Star Sea" will be hit by a patrol ship.

It's just that escaping doesn't mean that everything is fine.

The key is whether the patrol ship of the Lei Ling clan has judged the true identity of the "Xinghai".

After the encounter with the "Star Sea", the patrol ship did not immediately attack. Instead, it sent a signal of inquiry, and then asked the "Xinghai" to be inspected.

Obviously, the patrol ship did not immediately judge that the "Star Sea" was a small warship of the Weaver Clan.

Next, because the "Xinghai" did not slow down and stop the ship, the patrol ship launched an attack, and it used ordinary energy beam weapons, which did not pose a great threat to the "Xinghai". This weapon is generally used against undefended civilian ships, from which it can be concluded. At the time of the attack, the patrol ship still did not understand the origin of the "Xinghai". Perhaps the "Xinghai" was regarded as a civilian ship.

Of course, many pirate ships were converted from civilian ships.

If the patrol ship had mistaken the "Star Sea" for a pirate ship, it would not have been too much of a problem.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi looked at Otis.

"I understand what you mean, but the Thunderling Clan is about to take action, and we need to inform Her Majesty as soon as possible. Let them be prepared. ”

Yang Yi nodded slightly and said, "After joining up with the large army, you send a battleship back." ”

Otis gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.

Her mission is to escort Yang Yi back to his home galaxy and form an alliance with the Human Federation. Lay the foundation for the large army of the Weaver Clan to participate in the war in the North Fourth District. If you return at this time and join up with the large army commanded by the Star Soul Empress, even if you are not discovered by Prince Cardozo, it will be delayed for a long time. Besides, it has been delayed for some time to come to Lingxiao Star to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and if it is delayed any longer, it may not be possible to return to the home galaxy in time.

Although she was very worried about the safety of the empress, Otis knew what was important.

Besides, even if they rush back, what can they do? If the empress's large forces were unable to defeat the Lei Ling Clan's fleet, they would not be able to help if they rushed back.

"Maybe, we'll have to reconsider."

"What?" Otis came back to her senses and looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly.

"Although we were discovered, judging from the initial situation, it is very likely that the patrol ship mistook the 'Star Sea' for a pirate ship."

Otis nodded slightly, and said, "There is indeed such a possibility, otherwise the energy beam weapon would not be used." ”

"The problem is, we escaped."

Otis was stunned again, not quite understanding what Yang Yi meant.

"Obviously, if it's a pirate ship, it's a little too fast to escape, right?"

"You mean ......"

"It's possible." Yang Yi pressed his hand and said, "Of course, it's useless to worry now, we have to go to the rendezvous point as soon as possible." ”

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned and let Otis continue.

"Pirates in the Center, and pirates who dare to come to the Thunderling's native system are certainly not too bad, and it is very common to have a fast ship." Otis paused slightly, and then said, "The pirates who can gain a firm foothold in the overall situation in the center and still come out from time to time are almost all supported by some top-level civilization, at least high-level civilization, so it is not strange to get some advanced equipment." ”

"You mean, even if it's discovered, it's fine?" Jackson asked next to him.

Otis nodded and said, "It's not a secret to secretly support pirates, it's an effective means of attacking and spying on opponents. What's more, even if things get bigger, it's the pirates who are unlucky, and no top civilization will declare war on another top civilization because of this. Not only here, but also in our native systems of the Weavers and the Hidden Spirits, they are constantly harassed by pirates. ”

Jackson's brows were furrowed, and he didn't look at ease at all.

"The problem is, it's too much of a coincidence." Shen Chengwen spoke at this time, "The fleet of the Lei Ling Clan has just been assembled, and a pirate ship has appeared nearby, is it just a coincidence?" ”

"Isn't it?" Otis asked rhetorically.

Shen Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Even if those guys from the Lei Ling clan thought it was a coincidence, they would have thought that the pirate ship of unknown origin must have discovered the fleet that was assembling it, so it fled, and the news would soon spread." Yang Yi glanced at Otis and said, "When the time comes, as long as the Weaver Star Clan receives the news, they will immediately contact the Star Soul Empress." If the purpose of the Wanluo War Emperor was to sneak attack the large army of the Weaver Star Clan, he would make adjustments accordingly. ”

"This ......"

"Obviously, even if the Lei Ling Clan has the most powerful military power in the entire Galactic Alliance, it will definitely not be much cheaper to fight with the main force of the Weaver Clan, and it will definitely kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. In the long run, this is obviously not in line with the fundamental interests of the Lei Ling Clan, and the Wanluo War Emperor will not be stupid enough to do this kind of losing streak, and will only make the Hidden Spirit Clan choose a cheap stupid thing. Of course, if you can sneak attack, it will be a different matter. ”

Otis frowned and did not refute Yang Yi's point of view.

"Anyway, that's not a bad thing. Wanluo Zhan Huang threw a rat trap, naturally he would not act rashly, and maybe he would give up the idea of sneak attack because of this. ”

"You mean ......"

"Obviously, the Empress is not much threatened."

Otis was slightly stunned, and then she understood.

After thinking about it carefully, she realized that Yang Yi was indeed not wrong. Regardless of whether the patrol ship discovered that the "Star Sea" was a small warship of the Weaver Clan, after the "Star Sea" escaped, it was no longer a secret that the Lei Ling Clan had assembled a fleet near the Ling Xiao Star. If they can sneak up on the main force of the Weaver Clan, so that the Weaver Clan cannot take the lead in supporting the Human Federation, the Lei Ling Clan can still profit from it. If the sneak attack fails, it will turn into a bloody war, and the Lei Ling clan will not only not get the slightest benefit, but will inevitably lose the entire war because of it. Even if there is no defeat, the reputation of the Lei Ling Clan will be affected, and the ultimate beneficiary can only be the Hidden Spirit Clan, and the Wanluo War Emperor is obviously not noble enough to make a wedding dress for the Heavenly Saint Emperor.

"What are we going to do next?" Otis's mood calmed down.

"It's business as usual."

"But ......"

"Now, there are two possibilities." Yang Yi paused for a moment before he said, "First, the Wanluo War Emperor insisted on going his own way regardless of the consequences and led the fleet to sneak attack the main force of the Weaver Star Clan. Of course, as long as we inform the empress in time, he will not succeed, and it is uncertain who will kill the deer when the time comes. If Wanluo Zhanhuang had a little brain, he would adjust his deployment, such as leading the fleet to the North Fourth District. ”

"There's no third possibility?"

"Unless the Heavenly Saint Emperor can get the Hidden Spirit Clan to join the battle immediately, and immediately send out a legion. Otherwise, Wanluo Zhanhuang would have to go to the North Fourth District alone. Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "If the first situation occurs, all we can do is to warn Her Majesty the Empress in time and let the legion prepare for battle." In the second case, we'll have to get back to the North Fourth Sector before the Thunderling fleet. ”

Otis nodded slightly, indicating that she understood what Yang Yi meant.

"Still have questions?"

Otis didn't say anything more, in fact, she knew that even if she did, it didn't make much sense.

Yang Yi didn't dwell on it anymore, if it wasn't for Otis, he didn't bother to explain.

Jackson and Shen Chengwen can understand the truth in this, but Otis can't understand it, Yang Yi sighed very much, obviously this female warrior guard captain is seriously inexperienced. It's just that experience can't be taught, it can only be accumulated by participating in battles.

Fortunately, Otis is not too stupid and has a good attitude towards learning.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This is not just a personal problem of Otis, but the problem of the entire Weaver Clan, and indeed of all the top civilizations, that is, the peace and prosperity have lasted for too long, and these top civilizations in the center region obviously do not understand the situation on the other side of the Greenwich meteorite belt, and have long forgotten the cruelty of war.
