Chapter 854: Escape
"Boom", the ship starts.
There were four spaceships in total, and more than 500 people immediately set off after boarding the ship and fled into the distance.
"Where are we going?" it was only at this time that Chen Liuli had time to ask.
"Yellow Springs Realm. Gao Yuan gave the answer.
"Huangquan Realm!" everyone was stunned.
Even imperial nobles like Chen Liuli and Shu Rong didn't know what kind of place Huangquan Realm was.
It was Gao Yuan who explained, and everyone remembered that the empire really seemed to have such a place, many years ago there was a natural disaster, and a city disappeared inexplicably, leaving a huge pit deep underground.
However, this kind of thing was only regarded as an anecdote among the upper echelons of the empire, a small pastime after tea and dinner, and no one knew what it was called, what kind of people lived, and what kind of suffering existed.
Even after Gao Yuan's explanation, everyone didn't understand at all, why did they go to Huangquan Realm?
Su Wanrong couldn't help but say, "Even if it's a lawless place, it's just that the empire doesn't want to manage it." Once we go to the Yellow Springs Realm, the Empire's pursuers will inevitably follow. Listen to what you said, the Yellow Springs Realm is all underground tunnels, we can only hide and cannot be defended, if we go there, I'm afraid we will never see the light of day!"
Everyone nodded.
Except for Guan Whale Fall, no one knew why Gao Yuan wanted to go to the Yellow Spring Realm.
Chen Liuli also said: "It's better to go to the Northeast." The rebels over there have always been a big problem for the Empire, and if we defect in the past, we will surely be blessed. There is even a chance to contact the second prince and let him fight with the eldest prince, and we will benefit from it. ”
Su Wanrong said: "This is also the first good idea. ”
Gao Yuan can't explain the existence of the stargate for the time being, this matter is too weird, and it involves the safety of the earth, so it must not be leaked in advance.
"Do you believe me?" asked Takato.
Chen Liuli said: "Our net worth and life are all handed over to you, what do you think?"
Gao Yuan said: "Then please believe me again, I can take you to a safe place." ”
There was silence all around.
Su Wanrong suddenly smiled and said, "As long as I follow you, I can go anywhere." ”
Once the word is settled, there are no more superfluous problems for everyone.
If Gao Yuan wants to go to the Yellow Spring Realm, then go to the Yellow Spring Realm. It doesn't matter if it's the Abyss or the entrance to Hell, go for it.
What followed was a long escape, the first two days of the ship flying quickly without any trouble, and from the third day onwards, there were more interceptions on the way.
At first, it was just a few small reconnaissance ships, some of which flew away from a distance to observe, and some of which were bold enough to get closer and were shot down immediately.
Although it was only a small-scale investigation and harassment, everyone knew very well in their hearts that the days of a smooth escape were gone, and since their whereabouts had been exposed, they would inevitably usher in a brutal pursuit and blockade.
Sure enough, from the fourth day, the first wave of resistance was finally encountered.
It was in an asteroid belt twenty light-years away from Hondell, and four spacecraft had just entered a treacherous space densely packed with asteroids, and were immediately bombarded by star cannons.
The spacecraft that rushed to the front was immediately shot, and the power of the engine compartment on the left side was instantly lost, and hundreds of bullet holes that pierced the cabin caused the pressure in the cabin to be unbalanced, and the oxygen was sucked dry in an instant, and the hundreds of people in the cabin fell into suffocation without even reacting.
"Not good!" Gao Yuan sat in the second ship, watching the ship in front of him get shot, but he couldn't rescue it at all.
"Mom!" Su Wanrong, who was standing beside Gao Yuan, exclaimed.
The captain of that ship was Shu Rong, assisted by the three brothers of the Zhao family, seeing that the ship was so badly damaged, even if the people above had great ability, they were afraid that they would not be able to return to the sky.
And in the next second, the second round of starry sky artillery bombarded down again, and the already crumbling ship exploded and burst into flames under the fierce artillery bombardment, turning into a ball of fire.
And the hearts of the people sank to the bottom.
Su Wanrong was even more tear-stained, knelt on the ground, and muttered, "Mom, Mom!"
Zuo Qiubai, who was sitting on the last ship, sent a message: "Gao Yuan, retreat immediately." We can't go any further, retreat right now!"
"You guys withdraw first!" Gao Yuan said coldly: "Prepare a small boat for me." ”
"No! This time it will not be done!" Guan Whale Luo knew that Gao Yuan wanted to rely on personal heroism to get the other party's flagship like last time.
But this time is different from the past, this ambush fleet must have been prepared, as long as it is hit by a cannon, no matter how high and far there is earth-shaking ability, it will not be able to show it.
Everyone grabbed Gao Yuan to prevent him from being strong, and the three ships reluctantly looked at the burning red fireball, exited the asteroid belt, and fled around the road.
From this day on, the fleet fell into a situation of being surrounded and pursued. The Empire's armies were like locusts that appeared from all directions, casting a wide net.
If it weren't for the genius commander of Zuo Qiubai, the three spaceships would have been intercepted a long time ago.
Even if there is Zuo Qiubai, when the enemy is outnumbered, their living space is increasingly oppressed.
On the sixth day, one ship was badly damaged, but fortunately the crew was transferred to the other two ships in time.
At the beginning of the departure, four ships were five or six hundred people.
This was only the sixth day of escaping, and there was still more than half a distance from the Yellow Spring Realm, and there were only two ships and less than 300 people left.
There are more and more enemies, there are interceptions in front and pursuers in the back, and it seems that the whole world is an enemy, which makes people doubt whether they will be able to reach the Huangquan realm alive.
On the ninth day, the third ship was also damaged, and this time the casualties were even more tragic, and the captain Chen Liuli and Chen Baoyu's big black snake golden bear were all killed.
On the twelfth day, the last ship landed scarred on a deserted planet less than a light year from the Yellow Springs Realm.
Although they were not far from the Yellow Spring Realm, it seemed that they would never have a chance to reach the Yellow Spring Realm.
The Empire's fleet was gathered all around, more than 3,000 ships, 100,000 troops, but there were less than a hundred people left around Gao Yuan.
There was nowhere to replenish along the way, it was almost exhausted, people were trapped and injured, and it was a dead end.
Gao Yuan is also very helpless, people are not as good as heaven, and in the face of countless times the siege of the enemy, he has nothing to do.
"We can only wait for the other side to attack. Gao Yuan said: "I'm sorry everyone, I thought I could take you to escape, but I didn't expect to end up in a dead end." I'm really sorry, I'm too arrogant and thinking too simply. ”
No one blames Takato, and no matter who is in a lofty position, they can't do better.
The exhausted Zuo Qiubai smiled bitterly and said, "I don't blame you, I just blame bad luck." If the eldest prince was also on the parade ground, if the third prince had not died, the situation would not have been so difficult. ”
In their plan, the empire would inevitably fall into chaos after Huang Enhao's death, but what they never expected was that the empire would have passed this period that should have been chaotic smoothly.
That's why Zuo Qiu Bai said, bad luck.
Gao Yuan shook his head, not wanting to say anything more. What else can you say if you lose to luck?
