Chapter 53: Qi Yiming's Considerations
When the Xuefeng came to the second line of defense of the Song family, the remnants of the Song family's fleet were already in full array.
But the captains of the warships were trembling.
They are well aware of the combat power of the Snow Peak, compared to the Snow Peak...... Well...... No comparison, it's not in one dimension at all.
Just as Qi Yiming was about to slaughter again, the remnants of the Song family's fleet suddenly turned around and withdrew from the second line of defense.
This made Qi Yiming vigilant all of a sudden.
"When things go wrong, there must be demons...... Obviously, he was about to make a big fight just now, and such a sudden retreat would either have a trap or a collective mental breakdown......" Qi Yiming thought in pieces, and his voice was just enough for the husband and wife to hear.
"At this time, I would rather take a slow hand than rush it."
So the Snow Peak began the demolition work, and by the way, waited for the follow-up fleet to follow.
Ten minutes later, Liu Jun finally followed with the remnants of the Xuanwu Federation's fleet.
At first, Liu Jun thought that Qi Yiming would throw the demolition task of the second line of defense to him just now.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yiming actually started the demolition work with him.
"Mr. Qi, why didn't you rush?" Liu Jun unknowingly used an honorific title.
Qi Yiming looked at Liu Jun, who was slightly excited on the communication screen, and he was angry.
If you want to talk about Zheng Hu's death, part of the original meaning is that Liu Jun and they broke up in battle, and Qi Yiming actually didn't want to see these people at all.
But nominally, these people are still his comrades-in-arms, and no matter how angry they are, this is not the time to lose their temper.
"The Song family's participating fleet retreated a little strangely, and I'm going to slow down and see what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds." Qi Yiming forcibly endured the dissatisfaction in his heart and explained.
But what Qi Yiming didn't expect was that Liu Jun, a coward, actually took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the Song family's last line of defense to investigate.
Qi Yiming originally wanted to refuse, after all, his intuition told him that the reconnaissance mission was very dangerous.
But after thinking about it, it would be better to investigate, in case he felt wrong.
"Then be careful, be sure to calculate the charging time of the jump engine, and don't get out of the jump in the other person's face." Qi Yiming still reminded him for the sake of his comrades.
After seeing Liu Jun enter the jump acceleration mode, Qi Yiming organized the remaining fleet to continue the demolition.
But before the general control room on the defensive line was destroyed, Liu Jun came back in a hurry.
Mr. Qi...... Run...... That old bastard of the Song family doesn't know where to get a battle cruiser! After Liu Jun connected the communication, he desperately urged Qi Yiming to leave quickly.
"What? Battlecruisers? Qi Yiming suddenly stood up from the captain's chair.
Qi Yiming did not doubt Liu Jun's words, after all, no one would be stupid enough to lie about the military situation at this time.
"Yes, a battlecruiser, I saw it with my own eyes."
Qi Yiming breathed a long sigh of relief, it seemed that his intuition was not wrong, the Song family really still had hole cards.
"Did you read the markings on the battleship? Are you sure it's the Song family's battle cruiser? Qi Yiming continued to ask for details.
"Like, probably, it may not be the symbol of the Song family." Liu Jun rolled his eyes and thought hard for a while before he dared to say with certainty.
"I specially asked you to do the investigation, and your uncle will investigate this ...... for me" Qi Yiming complained frantically in his heart.
"Forget it, there is a high probability that it is an imperial warship, and the imperial warship that can appear on the Song family's territory now is definitely not here for us to visit." Qi Yiming no longer wondered what the origin of this battle cruiser was, but considered whether the Xuefeng could cope with it.
Although the Snow Peak was able to handle the first few battles with ease, the next battle was to face a battle cruiser.
After all, it was a battle cruiser, and even if the Snow Peak was advanced, it would have to think carefully against a guy who was much bigger than himself.
"I said Mr. Qi, you don't want to continue attacking, do you?" Liu Jun suddenly discovered a terrible fact, Qi Yiming went crazy.
"Why not?" Qi Yiming raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Jun on the communication screen.
Liu Jun rolled his eyes and almost fainted, and roared angrily in his sharp throat to pull Qi Yiming, who was on the edge of madness, back: "That's a battlecruiser......"
In fact, Qi Yiming knew that it was not impossible for the Snow Peak to take out a battle cruiser, but it would take a great risk.
Because in the era of the Federation of Mankind, the destroyers of the Strategic Strike Fleet once set an example of a single battleship sinking a battlecruiser, but that was in the case of exercises.
What Qi Yiming has to consider now is whether to take this risk.
After all, he is the one who is going to leave the Xuanwu Star Domain, and whether the Xuanwu Star Domain will follow the empire or be self-contained after Qi Yiming leaves has little to do with him Qi Yiming.
But the problem is that the only exit from the Xuanwu Star Domain is the territory of the Wanluo Empire.
He believed that the Wanluo Empire would definitely have heavy troops at the exit to prevent the various forces in the Xuanwu Star Domain from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Then there will be a discussion of how to fight this next battle.
Not only does it hurt the empire, but it also can't make the empire hate him Qi Yiming, so that Qi Yiming can pass through the territory of the Wanluo Empire smoothly.
"It's a little difficult......" Qi Yiming groped his chin, carefully considering the pros and cons of the whole thing.
Mr. Qi...... Mr. Qi ...... "Liu Jun frantically called Qi Yiming, who was lost in thought, in the communication channel.
"You say, I'm listening......" Qi Yiming replied absentmindedly.
"You listen to your uncle's ......" Liu Jun scolded secretly in his heart, but said with a happy face: "Let's withdraw, a battle cruiser is not something that our current small federation can deal with......"
"Wait, what did you just say?" Qi Yiming seemed to have caught something, and asked Liu Jun eagerly.
"I ...... I said no, our little federation can deal with it......" Liu Jun timidly repeated what he had just said.
It's not that Liu Jun is timid, but he is really scared by Qi Yiming's perverted combat power, Liu Jun believes that Qi Yiming can't do the battle cruiser, but it is a matter of minutes to get rid of him in seconds, so Qi Yiming's sudden question made Liu Jun think that he had stepped on Qi Yiming's tail.
"yes, why am I so stupid...... War is a continuation of politics...... I can make the Empire unprofitable, so how useful can they be if they defeat me? Qi Yiming finally thought of a perfect solution to this problem.
Qi Yiming believed that the Wanluo Empire was willing to spend such a big blood to support the Song family, and there was definitely some shady deal in the middle.
If you analyze it carefully with your brain, it is nothing more than that the Song family used the Xuanwu Star Domain as a bargaining chip to make some kind of political deal with the empire, but this kind of political transaction has to pay the price for the empire.
If Qi Yiming can make this kind of cost large enough, and then give a plan with a relatively small cost, there is no worry that the empire will not agree to a truce.
Now it depends on what level of thing this battlecruiser is in the eyes of the imperial high-ups, if it is just a dispensable battleship, Qi Yiming really has no other good way to deal with the matter in front of him.
