A month later, the USS Freedom of Life was fully repaired and restored to its best condition, setting sail again, heading for the D-Star Ring area, the race site of the F2 Formula II interstellar race.

During this period, a lot of attack devices were added to the mothership, and there were several of Martin's multi-functional combat platforms alone, which were scattered throughout various parts of the mothership; In addition, a lot of lasers and armor-piercing machine guns have been added, all of which come from the warships that were previously chasing the mothership, but were captured by Xia Long in their own ways.

Some of them came from the large warships of Bain and Li Hu, which were dismantled and converted to the mothership, and the most rear-end mothership was also equipped with enough nuclear-powered missiles and a large number of powerful electromagnetic guns for superior items.

At this time, the E and D stars where the Charon Farm base is located are relatively close to each other, and there are still nearly two months before the start of F2, which is enough for the mothership to arrive at its destination in advance and get ready.

When the mothership leaves the back side of Star E and can see the sun in the Kepler system, Alice sends a message to Cass, to the effect that Xia Long is already on the way, and this time the F2 champion is none other than Xia Long, who is ready to bring Xia Long's grandfather Xia Yun back.

After discussing some F2 events with other city-states, Cass took time out of his busy schedule to chat with Xia Long: "Are you so confident? Aren't you afraid that I will set up layers of obstacles in the middle of the competition and arrest you? ”

"Today, the New Zealand Star dares to admit that the second is the second, and no one dares to be the first, how can Lord Cass, a big man who dares to be the first, bully such a small person as me? Besides, in F2, especially this one, you will definitely have a lot of pressure to use force, right? In addition, I will take advantage of this competition, I will return a batch of Bain and Li Hu's crew, and it will be your merit when the time comes. After Sharon replied casually, he ended the communication, saving Cass from tracking his whereabouts.

Subsequently, Charon hurriedly asked Alice to contact Oscar, obtain the contact information of the top management of each city-state, and tell him about the bet he made with Cass in F2 races.

Xia Long is not too worried that in the middle of the game, Cass will do it to himself, and as on Earth, some events of great significance are forbidden and do not allow discordant things.

In the worship of speed, the F2 event is the most meaningful event, before Cass used various warships including infrared interception warships to interfere with the race, which has made many people have opinions, and I am afraid that once I open my external mailbox, it will be full of all kinds of cordial greetings.

This point has long been confirmed by Charlon's informant on his New Blue Star, Oscar's summons, and Howard, the lord of City-State No. 6, took the opportunity to carry a large amount of materials after this game and put it into the snobbery opened up by D-Guard 2, at that time, Oscar will secretly control the important matters of City-State No. 6 on this side, of course, mainly responsible for secretly assisting Sharon in development.

Seeing that the No. 6 city-state sent a fleet, including a large mothership and 9 large warships, towards the D star, Cass contacted Howard: "Lord City, if you only carry your No. 6 city-state's participating spaceship, isn't it too extravagant for you to use a fleet to escort it?"

Howard used a sentence in his heart that he didn't know how to go thousands of years ago, and the Pacific Police were wide, and after greeting him, he replied carefully: "I heard that Xia Long's Life Freedom will also participate in this competition, of course, I need to bring some troops to prepare, and when the time comes, I will cooperate with your deployment, if you catch Xia Long's extremely spaceship, you will benefit me more, and I am also a stupid bird to fly first!" When you're older, your head isn't as flexible as you, who are only in your 40s! ”

This made Cass extremely comfortable to listen to, and there was just a batch of free cannon fodder to test the ability of the Life Freedom, but the two-hundred-year-old Howard really planned to make a plan, and the snobbery in D Star had long been noticed by Cass.

"Before, we sent a combined fleet to track Xia Long's mothership, but we lost all tracking signals, I remember that the two large warships you sent stayed in D Star afterwards and didn't come back, and now there is a fleet, I'm afraid it's not just to assist me in capturing Xia Long, it's as simple as a little cheap, right?"

Howard was still calm after hearing this, and slowly replied: "After the meteorite rain, the major city-states have obtained a lot of resources, and they have expanded their snobbish range in the C star, and I really don't have the strength to fight, so I have to choose to open up a wide territory in the remote D star area, and it can be regarded as preparing in advance, in case the Avengers call, there is also a spare territory." You don't have a problem with that, do you? ”

Howard didn't bother to tell Cassdor, for fear that Lu would make the other party suspect something, and while dealing with Cass carefully, he secretly sent a message to Veai, the actual ruler of City-State 5, and hurriedly joined in to relieve himself.

Soon Cass received a communication from Veais: "Lord Cass, I heard that you have a bet with Xia Long, can you reveal a little bit, maybe all of our city-states are interested in taking a gamble?"

After Viai, Cass received similar communications from the top brass of other city-states, so he had to set up an encrypted electronic conference room to tell the details of the bet with Xia Long.

Xia Long's sub-ship entered the race 3 minutes late, and used a special track in the second half, and the obstacles along the way were much more difficult than the normal track, winning Cass and sending Xia Yun, Xia Long's grandfather, and losing Xia Long, he had to release a group of prisoners, that is, the crews of the two large warships that were captured by Xia Long.

Cass didn't want the city-state leaders to know that if Xia Long lost, he would get a spaceship with a similar configuration to the Life Freedom subship.

Cass and Vero had secretly contacted before, and in the case of Xia Long's participation 3 minutes late and the difficulty of the second half of the track increased, the spaceship built by Vero was likely to win, but Cass didn't expect that Xia Long had already informed the city-state executives of the bet in advance.

"It seems that Xia Long is stirring up a wedge between our various city-states, and he told me that if Xia Long loses, Lord Cass will get a spaceship like a subship! Or did you just forget to tell us? Vee also gave enough steps to Cascharon, who relayed the original communication records to the city-states' higher-ups.

In such a situation, the meeting was over, and Cass didn't take this mistake to heart, he could dispatch the ark, but not other city-states, and many people in the high-level of the city-states also counted on their memory backup skills to live for a while longer.

But in the midst of this meeting, the number of people involved in the bets increased, Cass became the banker, and the lords of the rest of the city-states participated, and the stakes were quite staggering, at least 10 large warships.

Howard patted Cass on the back very appropriately, seeing that Cass had the momentum of victory, Howard chose to bet on Xia Long to win, which in Cass's opinion was tantamount to sending his own warship, and the rest of the city lords had each other's choices, some bet on Xia Long to win, and some bet on Xia Long not to win.

After the meeting, the other city-states became even more jealous of Cass, and completely cared about their own city-states to reap the benefits, and when they needed to send troops, they let other people's troops be cannon fodder! With Cass's deception this time, the contradictions between City-State No. 3 and the rest of the city-states expanded again.

In the blink of an eye, the F2 Interstellar Formula race is about to begin, and in the invisible mothership before the race, Xia Long unscrupulously intercepted the signal from New Zealand Star, anyway, the people of New Zealand Star are now paying attention to this race.

City-State No. 5 took the lead in upgrading its own unique spaceship "Earth Circle Man" series from the original 6 series to 7 series, which greatly improved its performance, and it was inevitable to win the championship in this competition; Although the ships of the Jedi and Peregrine Falcon series have not been upgraded, they have also improved a lot of devices and increased their speed.

Affected by the fall of the Avengers caused by the fall of the Satellite Fortress and the detonation of the metal box containing dark matter energy, the people of New Blue Star have also set off a wave of self-reliance, many people have spontaneously improved the spaceship, and Xia Long has the same idea, and there are many people who use nitrogen oxide to speed up, including Jeff's master Vero.

The way of nitric oxide acceleration is very dangerous, and not many people use it in the competition, but with the huge reward given by Cass this time, assisting in the development of private territory is enough to make many people tempted and crazy, even if the modified ship has the potential to develop, there will be a good reward.

Once the race begins, these ships will be scanned by instruments to confirm the information of the ship and the pilots inside, and send a road map for the race.

The Mothership Life Freedom stopped at a distance of half an hour near this area, and Xia Long, who had a hidden danger of a strange disease, said goodbye to Alice and the others: "Don't worry, I've been insisting on exercising recently, you can also see it, my physique has improved a lot, it's just a competition, most of the time I will start the ideology." If you win this time, you can reward me with a kiss! ”

Alice's heart is still hanging, for fear that something will happen in the game, will Xia Long's body be unwell? Will Cass be calculating in the game regardless of the rules? Will the second half of the course be very difficult? Worried, even in the face of Xia Long's ridicule, it did not get better, and he said silently: "I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Tulip was nothing abnormal, but enlightened everyone: "Don't worry, Xia Long's piloting skills are okay, the spacecraft that can only fly 20 meters in the past often drives to the black market to smuggle agricultural products, and now there is the Life Freedom designed by the old master, there will definitely be no accidents!" ”

Robot No. 4 stood in front of Xia Long and said, "Why don't you let me pilot the subship?" As the captain of the ship, as the owner of the farm base, once something happens, the consequences are unimaginable? ”

Xia Long smiled slightly: "It's because of my special identity that I have to set an example, hiding behind at a critical time will only let others look down on me, but after this competition, I won't easily participate in F2 races!" "No. 4's words are not as reasonable, and important people need to strategize at critical moments and win thousands of miles.

"Come on, Brother Long, if you allow it, send me to this competition in the future, Ha Luha!" Wang Qi was different from others, and took the initiative to cheer up Xia Long.

Xia Long glanced at Alice at the end, and there was a warmth in his heart, if it was normal, this naughty sweetheart chick would definitely compete with Wang Qi, but now he has been worrying about himself. After a glance, Xia Long put on his protective armor, entered the sub-ship, and headed towards the competition area.

The timing was calculated by the computer very accurately, and now I rushed to the game, which was exactly 3 minutes late.

On the way, Xia Long received a unified live broadcast signal of the game, and the voice of the long-lost commentator appeared again: "The news I just got that Dolly and David, who swore to build a clone and robot home, also designed a unique spaceship - the Star of Hope, which will be piloted by David to participate in this competition, we will wait and see if they can achieve excellent results!" In addition, it has not been confirmed whether Xia Long's Life Freedom will participate in the competition, which is the most talked about by everyone! ”
