Many people have seen this scene through the Sky Surveyor, including the 72 helmers of the Star Boat Fleet, but among all of them, I am the only one who reacted immediately, and what we should do most at this moment-

Run!

I immediately gave an order for all the starships to immediately get out of the cruising state, and accelerate away from the witch king to escape with maximum acceleration.

As the chief commander of the fleet, I have the authority to give orders directly to each starship beyond the helm, and the entire fleet has indeed carried out my orders. But then one by one, the phantoms of the helmsman appeared on the communication array, and some people began to question me if I was overreacting.

"The heads of the Witch King are indeed falling, but the total number of them is thousands, and now less than one percent has been destroyed, since it is a battle, naturally there is damage to each other, we can't see the situation of the enemy, maybe the damage of the other party is even greater?" Someone said.

But my opinion is: "Since we cannot observe the enemy, we can only guess at the worst possible situation, and if it is an enemy that even the King of Witches cannot defeat, then our best response is to flee as far away as possible; If the Witch King prevails, our escape will not cause much to lose, unless you are worried that it will undermine the Witch King's trust in our race—but even so, it is not you who need to worry about this, but me. Didn't many of you accuse me of being the Witch King's confinement? Why are you acting more indecisive than my confined? ”

Perhaps it was the last two sentences that worked, and no one raised any more objections. The fleet quickly accelerated to the speed of light, which was its limit.

Behind me, the battle of the Witch King continued, and the helmsmen were discussing the hiding place of the fleet at my request, and with no one to disturb me for the time being, I could finally lock myself in my room and remove the egg, the egg I had born for the Witch King, from the jade box that was heavily furnished.

The moment I held the egg in my arms, all the emotions that had been forcibly suppressed came to my heart at once. I am the helmsman of the Starship fleet, the sword emperor of all Umin, and my decisions must be as cold and decisive as my sword, but that doesn't mean I don't have emotions, it's just that I've never thought about it, and I haven't even been able to figure out why—I would have that kind of emotion for a foreigner who had only met for three days.

However, it does exist.

I used to deceive myself and deny it in my heart, for example, that I obeyed the Witch King only out of political considerations, or that I actually had a selfish desire to gain the power of the Witch King through this means, so that I could go further in the way of the sword...... I've come up with a lot of reasons to try to convince myself, but none of them explain one thing.

- Why, at this moment, am I crying?

Yes...... At that time, I held my own eggs, looked at the images from the surveyor, and cried like a useless little girl.

In the video, the head of the Witch King is still extinguishing one by one, even faster than before. Every time one disappears, it feels like a sword pierces my heart.

I already knew, I made the right decision, but how I wished it was wrong, and I even consoled myself in my heart with the words of those stewards - who knows what happened to the enemy? Maybe it's worse than the Witch King's condition?

However, there is no fluke in reality.

The Witch King's thousands of heads, like stars, were all extinguished after seven days, and even her body disappeared without a trace.

I cried for seven whole days holding the eggs, but it was strange...... Perhaps it was because I gradually accepted the reality, but when the Seventh Heaven Witch King really fell, I stopped crying.

That's why the Witch King asked me to lay eggs for her, right? I looked at the egg in my arms and thought silently. We must protect His eggs, because this is what the witch has meant for us to keep us away from the battlefield and to keep us alive to this day.

My heart grew colder, colder and colder, cold enough for the wound to scab over, and enough for the water-soft emotions to freeze them harder than the edge of a sword.

I carefully put the egg back into the jade box, turned and walked out of the room.

I wanted to convene a meeting of the helmsmen, but I didn't expect that all the directors were already waiting outside—not phantoms, but real bodies. As soon as they saw me appear, everyone bent their fingers to their chests and bowed to me.

The helmsman on duty of the council stepped forward, bowed and said, "Lord Helmsman, thanks to your wise decision, the fleet has survived. Now, no one in the rudder dares to question you in the slightest, and what your sword is pointing at is the direction in which the fleet is heading. ”

I'm still a little stunned, the fall of the Witch King is indeed what I say, and it is not surprising that they will surrender because of this, but what about the so-called "letting the fleet escape"?

Fortunately, I don't need to ask more, the helmsman has already begun to explain. Only then did I know that not long after the fall of the Witch King, the Sky Survey observed hundreds of stars suddenly descending around the battlefield, and it was divided into sixteen teams and pursued in all directions at great speed.

And the location where one of the stars appeared was very close to the location of the starship fleet before it fled, if it wasn't for my decision, our fleet might not have time to accelerate to the top speed, and it would be caught up by the enemy.

The helmsman added: Although the number of each batch of stars is not large, but the size is huge, the smallest of them is more than 2,000 miles long, if we are caught up by the other party, even if we can win, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and when the rest of the stars are chased and killed, we will have no chance of survival.

After listening to the rudder's explanation, I found a problem.

"Are you sure these stars appeared out of nowhere, and that nothing else has appeared except for these hundred?" I asked.

"That's true." The helmsman replied, "The Sky Survey has scanned the star field within a million light-years several times, and only sent these hundreds of stars. ”

I thought about it for a while, and then said my guess: "Neither we nor the witches have been able to understand the mechanism of the existence of the stars, because they don't have any internal structure at all. Nowadays, it seems that they are not in this universe at all, and therefore completely beyond our comprehension.

"And these messengers of the stars should be something higher than our universe, and he throws the stars into our universe as if we were throwing worms into a bottle. The Witch King tries to challenge the other party, but unfortunately falls.

But the other side was by no means unscathed. Otherwise, there would not be only a few hundred stars chasing around at this moment, but millions, or even tens of billions! Moreover, the other party has been throwing the stars into this universe for a long time, and there must be some kind of attempt, but it was contained by the witch, and now that the king of the witch has fallen, the other party has stopped instead, most of them are not unwanted, but they can't. ”

Everyone is justified - at this time, even if there are people who think my analysis is unreasonable, they will not show it. On behalf of everyone, the helmsman asked a question they really cared about:

"Master Helmsman, what are we going to do next?"
