Chapter 656: Slowly Climbing Back
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the direction of the dome, a group of people was in chaos in the Seres Security Company’s fleet 2.7 light-seconds away.
Previously, even if they were pursued by the enemy fleet and had almost no hope of escaping, when the situation was extremely dangerous, as the elites of the second squadron of the main fleet of the Seres Security Company, they did not fall into chaos.
Now, they were in chaos and could even be said to be a little lost.
What was going on?
The enemy was clearly chasing well, so why did two battleships’ shields suddenly fail? In the end, they were directly heavily injured by the particle light cannon, and one of them was even directly destroyed!
In space battles, it was not easy to directly hit the enemy. Due to the existence of the energy shield, it was even more difficult to directly injure the enemy battleship.
However, when the two particle beams struck the enemy ships just now, the energy shields of the two enemy ships actually lost their effect. This was a little unbelievable.
“About that… when did we send out a Heaven Control expert?” A member of the fleet could not help but ask his companion.
“How is that possible? With a Heaven Control expert, why would it be so troublesome? We can directly destroy the enemy’s flagship.”
“That’s true…”
His subordinates whispered and were surprised. The fleet commander, Mueller, grasped the opportunity and gave the first full-strength counterattack order since the battle.
The Seres Security Company’s fleet instantly shot out countless particle beams and antimatter missiles. With a strange purple light, they cut through the dark space and pounced towards the distant cosmic pirate fleet.
The result that surprised the members of the fleet appeared again.
Although most of the particle beams and antimatter missiles were dodged by the other party and only a few struck, it was this small number that pierced through the energy shield of one of the enemy ships again, causing it to actually explode into three pieces in the sky!
Although they were puzzled, everyone was still encouraged by this result. Mueller did not hesitate to order two battleships in the fleet to continue escorting the caravan to the top of the sky. He led the other battleships to counterattack in the direction of the cosmic pirate fleet.
As they approached, the two sides continued to fight intensely.
A moment later, another enemy ship’s energy shield was pierced and turned into a huge ball of light that almost covered the light of the star.
The cosmic pirates were clearly frightened by these consecutive accidents and did not dare to continue fighting. Before the fleet of the Seres Security Company approached, they turned around and began to escape into the distance.
Just as he turned around to escape, another battleship was destroyed by the particle beam attack of the Seres Security Company.
Seeing that the enemy was already far away, Mueller hesitated for a moment before giving the order to stop chasing.
Their main mission was to protect the safety of the caravan, not to annihilate the enemy.
Moreover, it was very difficult to guarantee that the other party would not set a trap ahead and wait for them to walk into it.
Out of safety considerations, it was naturally best to stop here.
“Stop the pursuit and continue to execute plan two to protect the caravan’s retreat.”
After giving the order, Mueller could not help but look at the cosmic pirate fleet that was hurriedly leaving on the monitoring screen in confusion and amusement.
These guys had come aggressively, but in the end, they were defeated because of the continuous problems with the battleship’s energy shield. It must have completely exceeded their expectations.
However… why did they have such an abnormal problem?
…
Chu Nan immediately discovered the retreat of the cosmic pirate fleet and quickly discovered that the Seres Security Company’s fleet had stopped in their pursuit.
At this moment, he had two choices. One was to catch up to the Seres Security Company’s fleet and meet them. The other was to fly directly to Planet Leppler.
In comparison, the second choice was clearly more reliable. This was because the flight speed of the Seres Security Company’s fleet was too fast. He might not be able to catch up. On the other hand, Planet Leppler would not run around relatively. The target was huge, so he would not be lost.
After seriously considering for a moment, Chu Nan did not immediately leave the cosmic pirate battleship. Instead, he continued to maintain his perfect state and followed the fleet into the depths of the sea of stars.
After flying for a while, the distant Seres Security Company’s fleet completely disappeared from sight. The battleship under him had indeed closed its energy shield as Chu Nan had expected.
Chu Nan effortlessly flew close to the surface of the battleship and took out a wristband-like thing. He stuffed it into a gap on the surface of the battleship and fixed it before letting go and letting his body leave the battleship.
A moment later, the battleship had already flown far away. It did not take long for the entire fleet to completely disappear into the vast sea of stars.
Chu Nan lowered his head and opened his personal terminal. He saw a weak dot flickering on the virtual screen and grinned.
“Heh, let’s see how you can run now.”
The other party would definitely not expect that someone would actually install such a signal detection device on the surface of the battleship. Moreover, this device was specially made by the Seres Security Company. The standard signal frequency was completely different from the common signal in the Milky Way now. If one did not know in advance, it was almost impossible to guard against.
If he wanted to discover such a small wristband device on the surface of such a huge battleship, it was not much easier than finding a needle in a haystack.
After watching the other party’s fleet disappear, Chu Nan turned to look at the huge Planet Leppler in the distance and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Although it looked like Planet Leppler was right in front of him and could be touched, he knew very well that according to his speed just now, he was actually already 73,917 kilometers away from the destroyed fast orbit!
To a powerful cosmic battleship, this distance could naturally be flown in minutes, but to a person like him… it was ridiculously far.
Even if he had another breakthrough just now and his flying speed in space was far faster than the speed of sound below the atmosphere and above the ground, in front of such an exaggerated distance, he was still not much stronger than a snail.
After calculating that he would need at least 20 hours to fly at his current speed, Chu Nan could only smile bitterly.
“Alright, there’s no other way. Fly slowly. Who asked me to not be a Heaven Control or even a Star-Grade Martial Artist?”
Chu Nan adjusted his Internal Breath and used the Goddess’ Song to maintain his life force while flying towards Planet Leppler with all his might.
In the vast universe, he was now like an imperceptible worm slowly crawling towards his destination.
As he “crawled”, Chu Nan pondered a question.
The reason why he could fly freely in space now was understandable. After all, controlling spatial energy to fly was not much different from flying in the sky under the atmosphere.
However, it was a very strange problem that he could still live in space.
