Chapter 39: No Subspace
Lu Mingfei didn't pinch his watch to calculate whether it was enough time for two Terra days, and it was even more impossible for him to bargain with the boy.
His Majesty's commands from the Emperor were conveyed to every weeping Astarte on the Kassel campus through a communication channel built into the Warframeβan unarmored monk must be accompanied by an armored monk.
From the moment they received the order, they immediately stopped their artistic creations or meditation and prayers, they did not show any nostalgia or reluctance, and they did not even look at this beautiful world more, and resolutely began to run in the direction of the Holy Blood Pavilion.
Especially the soldiers at the observation deck, they ran like galloping armored fighting vehicles, speed and power coexisted, and the students of the academy clung to the side of the road in horror, no one wanted to stop them - crashing into them was probably no different from crashing into a tank.
In less than five minutes, all the Weeper warriors who were resting at the Kassel Academy had assembled in the courtyard, and then quickly entered the Holy Blood Hall under the leadership of the company commander Klans.
The professors and students who were also lingering in the courtyard of the Holy Blood Pavilion were asked to leave, and before they could react to what was going on, the cast-iron gate of the courtyard was closed, and Eva took over security.
On the basement level, the alchemy matrix leading to the Nibelungen automatically activates to glow brightly, and the Weeper warriors walk into it with neat steps, returning to the Nibelungen space where the Mother of Tears is anchored.
"Gone so soon? Not much later? I've got a farewell party and small gifts for you big brothers tonight. β
Fingal followed, a little surprised, and had expected the warriors to stay at least until tomorrow.
"His Majesty's order cannot be delayed," Lu Mingfei said in a deep voice, "and the farewell to Astarte will only be on the battlefield." β
Without any chance or word of farewell, the Weepers warriors boarded the Mother of Tears without looking back, and the massive battle barge, nearly nine kilometers long, restarted with their return;
It is also strange to say that such a behemoth with a mass of at least 30 million tons is not affected by the gravitational pull of the planet, and in Lu Mingfei's cognition, basically all space warships have to be moored in the harbor of the planet's orbit, and rarely land directly on the planet......
Maybe it's because of the special space in the Nibelungen? He thought to himself.
The black-armored warriors known as the "Cursed Legion" walked neatly out of the equally tall bronze hall in the distance, but the boy and the holy Leno were nowhere to be seen.
And only some of the black-armored warriors boarded the Mother of Tears, and some of the warriors stood silently with their blasters in place, without the slightest intention of leaving.
"What's going on? Your Majesty specially left a team for us to fight? Fingal's eyes lit up and his face beamed.
Lu Mingfei was also puzzled, if this was the case, with the strong combat power of the black-armored warriors, it might only be a matter of time before they swept away the aliens and pseudo-gods in their hometown......
Brilliant light lit up from the tail of the massive battleship, as if several suns were rising at the same time, and the Nibelungen space ushered in a glorious day.
The Mother of Tears' power engine is activating, the massive hull is slowly rising from the ground, and the countless brackets supporting the front of the hull are also being retracted.
Anyone who dreams of stepping foot in the stars can't help but be thrilled to see a battleship take off, and while the main body of the battleship looks more like a Gothic-style cathedral of buildings, it is at least a real battleship, not the special effects and props of science fiction.
The Mother of Tears cast a huge shadow on the ground, and after rising to a certain height, the hull direction began to adjust upwards, and as the "sun" spewed out from the huge engine vent in the tail became more dazzling, the battle barge began to fly rapidly into the air.
This was different from the way Lu Mingfei imagined to leave, he thought that he would lead his brothers to leave as he did when he came to this world, with the blade of the sword in the hand of Holy Leno to lead them away.
"This is the rhythm of going to outer space to explore the universe?" Fingal was stunned, "Do you want to contact Eva to hack the satellites above Northern Europe?" Otherwise, I'm afraid that tomorrow the headlines around the world will be 'UFOs have come to Earth' or 'The Church of God has ascended to heaven'. β
The actual location of this Nibelungen is in Northern Iceland, roughly between the Klafla and Ascha volcanoes, and was the fiefdom of the brothers Bronze and Fire before they went into exile in ancient China;
As for whether its spatial extent can be extended to the atmosphere...... It will depend on when the Mother of Tears will be observed.
"Not really, the Mother of Tears has its own camouflage system."
Lu Mingfei wasn't too worried about this, he was guessing what His Majesty the Emperor was going to do with the Mother of Tears.
Do you want the ship to sail into outer space and jump into subspace through the "Mandeville Point" in the galaxy?
The "Mandeville Point" is the minimum distance at which a ship equipped with a subspace engine can safely enter or exit subspace without the gravitational interference of stars or other celestial bodies, and if a ship enters or exits subspace too early, it may cause disaster to the ship itself or the nearby planetary world.
Lu Mingfei's heart began to beat wildly, and he may have guessed the answer.
The sky over the Nibelungen began to darken, as if night was about to fall; The light from the tail engine vent of the Mother of Tears had shrunk into a ball of light, striking in the starry sky.
"So let's go next...... What to do? Greeting those fiery black brothers? β
Fingal asked tentatively, and the black-armored warriors in the distance, who had not boarded the battle barge, still stood silently in place.
"No...... Go back first, they may have to wait a while to come back. Lu Mingfei shook his head.
If there is a Mandeville point, it may be in the orbit of Neptune or in the Kuiper belt, although this is quite far away given the technological level of the humans in their homeland;
However, the Mother of Tears is about 80 percent of the speed of light at full speed at the sub-light speed of the physical universe, and it doesn't take too long to go back and forth.
However, the battle barge returned faster than Lu Mingfei had imagined, and after about six hours, the huge battle barge of the Weepers was back in the Nibelungen.
This time she didn't land anymore, and the black-armored warriors who had stayed on the ground flickered and disappeared in place, seemingly teleporting back to the Mother of Tears somehow. The holy angel who had never appeared soared from the top of the Bronze City, his sword pointed up at the sky, and then slashed unpretentiously.
Lu Mingfei felt as if he had been pulled by some kind of tud, and at the same time, a dazzling golden light erupted from the Bronze City, a crack was cut by the angel's blade, and a strong aura from the sea of souls poured out.
He took a deep breath, and now was the time for him to say goodbye to his weeper brothers.
They are about to return to the dark galaxy of war and enemies, and continue to save the Emperor's people under the haunt of cursed doom.
Holy Leno flew into the crack first, followed by the massive metal battleship, the thick metal ramming angles of the bow squeezing into the crack little by little, forcibly expanding it to the width of the hull, just as it had been when it first came into the world.
"May the light of the Emperor and the Holy Celes bless you, brother." Lu Mingfei looked at the Mother of Tears, and silently prayed for the fighting brothers in his heart.
At least he managed to provide some assistance - he sent a lot of food and clean water to the ship. For a long time after returning to that universe, the Weeper warriors and the ship's large number of mortal minions will not be short of food.
"Sadly, I erased all of their memories of the world, including the images they recorded." A calm voice sounded beside him.
The boy didn't know when he appeared at Lu Mingfei's side, and watched with him at the Mother of Tears as most of the ship's hull had sunk into the cracks.
"Your Majesty." Lu Mingfei hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"It's not going to be enough for Holy Leno to escort them, he's going to be very busy for the rest of the day," the boy said to himself, "but it's okay to keep this 'spell' on the ship, after all, it's a rare bit of power that I have from the throne." β
Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, and he almost couldn't help but show joy on his face: His Majesty the Emperor actually allowed that team of black-armored warriors to accompany the weepers?!
He had seen the formidable prowess of these black-armored warriors, deadly to the average Astarte, and the fire bombs fired from their blasters could destroy the Emperor's enemies.
With them together, the Weepers warband don't have to worry about being wiped out in a fierce battle, at least for a short time!
"Your Majesty's glorious blessing!" Lu Mingfei was excited.
"Get up, Lu Mingfei. Through the short voyage tests just now, I was able to settle on a happy conclusion. β
Lu Mingfei saw the smile on the boy's face again, and it was no longer fleeting; In the past, his expression has always been a spokesman for calmness, composure, and reason.
"The Mother of Tears failed to carry out a subspace diversion in outer space, and the subspace engine did not react," the boy smiled as if he had seen something called hope, "which means that your home planet is not in the same galaxy where the Human Empire is located, but in a separate galaxy." β
"A new galaxy where there is no subspace, no sea of souls, no eyes of fear."
The Mother of Tears' sun-glowing engine vent sank into the rift, and the crack began to mend itself, completely isolating the Sea of Souls from another dark galaxy.
