Chapter 673
673 An unexpected distress signal
“You can leave now. We’ll meet again in the future.”
Link twisted his scepter, and all the members of the Battins mercenary team who were trapped in the scepter glowed with white light. They were instantly transported from the rest area to the medium-sized transport ship.
The macaw and the Silver Hand were so shocked that their jaws dropped. Link’s actions were so domineering and shocking.
The people around link were also shocked, including the mutants from the Brotherhood.
Hundreds of mercenary members disappeared in front of their eyes. Even the top mutants who were proficient in space abilities would find it difficult to replicate such an operation.Even the famous teleportation genius in the wasteland could only teleport one person. Link was teleporting hundreds of people.
The bright spot was the scepter that had never appeared before. Whether it was the group imprisonment of the mercenary group members, the invisible shock wave that accurately knocked away the dagger in batins ‘hand, or the group teleportation at the end, all of these proved that the scepter was extraordinarily powerful.
Even the batins mercenary group, which dominated the entire morwall Galaxy, was shocked.
Everyone could only sigh at how link would be a master and guide even in space.
The contact with the mercenary group this time also completely dispelled the doubts in the hearts of the Expeditionary Army members.
previously, they had thought that the creatures and forces in the universe were extremely powerful, and they could only tuck their tails between their legs and slowly plan for their future. However, after seeing Link’s power, they realized that they had been overthinking. Link must have made all the necessary preparations to leave the wasteland. At the same time, they could also compare the strength of the wasteland legends like link and silver hand. Even in the mowall galaxy group, he could be a respected leader of a mercenary group. Not to mention, they had the Black Throne. A single blast from the cannon could intimidate the aliens to the point where they wouldn’t even dare to fight back.
following link was indeed the best choice they had made.
The medium-sized transport ship slowly left the mechanical fortress under Troy’s control, with Satoko leading the way.
Batins and the other members of the battle team were all in a state of confusion.
Link had used a force field to restrain them. After a few words, their eyes flashed, and they were back in the familiar cabin.
Before they could react, they looked out of the porthole and saw a huge transition portal.
after passing through this warp gate, you will be leaving the Fandi system and heading to the central area of the mowall Galaxy. There are three more warps to go before you reach Star Harbor. The estimated time is 13 days. I wish you a pleasant journey, and we will meet again if fate allows. Troy’s mechanical voice pulled the mercenary group back to reality.
“They’re really letting us go?” looking at the ship’s body that was already one-third into the hyperdrive gate, some of the mercenaries still found it hard to believe.
“it seems to be true. the control of the ship is gradually being released. and the metal spheres outside the ship didn’t come in.” The operator quickly took over the spacecraft’s operating system.
Batins nodded his head in a daze. What he had experienced in the mechanical fortress was like a dream.
the powerful advanced civilization and david’s betrayal and suicide had a great impact on his mind.
especially when dave made up a story before he died., In an attempt to arouse the suspicion of the mercenary group. It was obvious that Dave hated them to the core after learning the truth. He would not let them go even if he died.
” everyone, go back to your posts. we’re going back to star cluster harbor.”Right now, batins just wants to complete his mission as soon as possible and arrange a vacation for everyone. Whether it was being drunk, muddleheaded, or welcoming a new life, it was much better than this.
The members of the mercenary group returned to their respective positions.
The operator was examining the spaceship’s repair section, but he was curious to find that the repair technology was only the most common in the universe.
They had their own understanding of this.
“The advanced civilization is really considerate. They didn’t use the technology of an advanced civilization on our medium-sized transport ship, but the most basic and conventional maintenance technology in the universe. This way, we won’t be suspected, and we won’t be dragged into the competition between the higher civilizations.”
If Helen had heard the explanation of the mercenary group, she would have burst into laughter. this group of people was too full of themselves. the reason why the maintenance ended up like this was all because their current maintenance knowledge could only reach this level.
After more than ten minutes, the mercenary group’s leader, batins, who was originally in a daze, was drowned by a sea of announcements.
commander, bad news! Our weapon maintenance equipment is missing!
guild leader, guild leader, our printing machines have been moved away!
“Captain, the spaceship’s detection equipment is only left with the shell!”
“Captain, hehe.”
“……”
Batins ‘mind went blank. Looking at the report in front of him, he felt like the world was spinning. After a moment, he muttered, it’s all gone. Doesn’t that mean that other than the engine, the only thing left of the ship is the outer shell? ”
“Almost … Almost …”
The entire medium-sized transport ship had been completely emptied.
Without a doubt, the mechanical fortress must have dismantled everything.
At this moment, batins recalled that when he was chatting with the macaw, the macaw had said that it would give them a big gift, but batins had turned it down in a hurry to return home. Then, old Jin told him with a sneaky expression not to regret it.
At that time, batins had even gone through some mental activity, but in the end, he resisted the temptation and refused.
“Don’t tell me this is the big gift old Jin was talking about?”
Bartin suddenly felt as if something had been stuck in his throat. He couldn’t swallow it, nor could he spit it out.
Many of the auxiliary equipment and equipment on the spaceship had been dismantled. Even the cannons and Defense Force fields had been mercilessly dismantled. Now, this medium-sized transport ship was nearly two weeks away from Star Harbor. They had to drive it carefully in these two weeks. It was like a large paper cruise ship, large in size but useless.
any cosmic ray explosion or particle wind caused by a star’s active period could destroy the transport ship.
For the next 13 days of the voyage, they had to be as careful as walking on a tightrope in order to reach Stellaris port alive.
As for the high-leveled civilization that would return to the mechanical fortress, batins immediately denied it. If they returned, they might not be able to come out.
Furthermore, gold and silver hand were already so difficult to deal with. Link’s demonic power and depth made batins break out in cold sweat just thinking about it, let alone facing it.
At the same time, in the mechanical fortress.
Helen looked at the transport ship’s transition portal in a daze. After a while, she turned around and asked, ” “head of state, do you think they can safely return to stellaris? You must know that we basically dismantled the transport ship and only left them with the engine and basic equipment.”
Link’s expression was calm as he replied, as long as we’re careful along the way, take the stable star systems, and don’t take shortcuts, the probability of returning is still very high.
“Now that the matter of the mercenary group has come to an end, what should we do next, ruler?”
Link thought for a moment. A star map with the mechanical fortress as the center appeared in his mind.At the same time, many missions from the mission Board also appeared on the star map.
let’s go to Pandora to check out the situation of the alien invasion.
Link had been paying attention to the forum.
The wasteland forum was peaceful. After link left, there were fewer people causing trouble. Most of the players were doing missions and Dungeons to level up. On the other hand, the situation on Pandora and Victoria was not optimistic. The slow-paced invasion of the foreign planets did not discover any conspiracies or ambushes, so they increased the intensity of their attacks.
Although the players on the two planets were already putting up a strong resistance, the gap was too big, and they could not stop the expansion of the foreign planet. this was especially so for planet pandora. because they specialized in magic and abilities, they were not able to fight the shadow hounds, which had high resistance. they were killed, and even the main city on the planet was broken through. the civilization began a life of exile on the planet.
Compared to Pandora, Victoria’s situation was slightly better. after all, with steampunk and magic as the background, the large-scale use of firearms and steam machinery allowed them to still have a fighting chance against alien planets.
So, link decided to go to Pandora first. While expelling the alien planet, he would also select the powerful players of Pandora to join the Expeditionary Army. Other than that, he would also look for the whereabouts of the other soul singers in Pandora. Of course, many of Pandora’s special resources were also in Link’s plan.
Hearing Link’s order, Helen was extremely excited.
He had long heard that Pandora and Victoria had been invaded by foreign planets. These two planets, like the wasteland, belonged to the Fandi system, so they should help each other. From the head of state, Helen learned that Pandora was a fantasy planet. The people on this planet worshiped magic, and the environment was unique. Now that they were going to Pandora, they would be able to see a new system and world, so Helen was naturally excited.
Helen quickly returned to the control room under the machine magnate and re-selected the star system and coordinates.
Troy assisted, and Akoko led the way. They changed directions from the warp gate.
“ah fu, please take in david’s soul.”
Dave’s soul had been gone for half an hour. It had only been ten minutes since he committed suicide. His soul was still intact.
Fu summoned the Vulture’s spirit Palace and used the [ psychic ritual ] to check Dave’s soul.
In his soul form, David clenched his fists. Before he died, he had created a fake mastermind to make the members of batins ‘mercenary group suspicious of each other, so that they would fall apart and batins would experience the feeling of the mercenary group that he had worked so hard to build falling apart.
However, after he died and turned into a soul, he heard that link, the leader of an advanced civilization, had appeared and exposed his plans. This made him want to vomit blood. Just as link had ” asked ” all the mercenaries to leave the mechanical fortress, he heard that link had arranged for people to make the transport ship a mere figurehead. The remaining 13 days of the voyage were extremely dangerous.
Dave was excited to hear the news. He hoped that something would go wrong in the next voyage and everyone would die in space. But at this time, Fu used the [ mediumship ritual ] to make him appear, and then he was taken into the Vulture Palace with a spin.
Augustine and Rondor, who were in the spirit Vulture Palace, were surprised to see a new member. They asked, ” “young man, how did you get in?”
The spirit Vulture Palace had a limit on the number of souls it could take in. Apart from Rondor, who had entered through the back door with Augustine’s identity, the rest, whether it was Augustine or the nine-striped Dragon, were not ordinary people. It was beyond Augustine’s understanding that such a young man had entered. As for Rondor, he was smiling naively with saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. Because this guy couldn’t stand the environment in the Ling Vulture Palace, he was already in a half-crazy state.
dave did not know what was going on. he only felt that the place was full of energy, which was very comfortable for his soul.
“I also don’t know what Yingluo or what’s the point of coming here?” Dave looked at the man who was also in soul form. The man was elegant and well-organized. He must have been a noble before he died.
After the nine-striped dragon left, Rondo, his guard, had become a fool. Augustine had been bored all day long, but now, a young man had suddenly presented himself to him. Augustine suddenly felt that it was interesting.
“Then tell me your story first, Yingluo.”
Outside the spirit Vulture Palace, the crowd dispersed.
The macaw and the Silver Hand pestered link.”I didn’t expect you to be hiding your skills, link! Isn’t your scepter a little too powerful? group force field control, invisible shock wave, group teleportation, they’re simply too powerful. if you have such good stuff, why didn’t you take them out earlier?”
The macaw surrounded link, its eyes fixed on the force field scepter in Link’s hand. Its eyes were clearly saying, ” give it to me, can I touch your hard scepter? ” although silver hand was expressionless, link noticed that his eyes never left the scepter. he was obviously interested in it as well.
naturally, link would not give them weapons of this level. Old Jin and silver hand might do something bad, so he had to be more vigilant!
After chasing away the macaw and the Silver Hand, link returned to his room alone.
Gu Bo’s originally calm expression could no longer be maintained, and he couldn’t help but grin.
link studied the force field scepter and praised, ” as expected of the epic weapon awarded by the main storyline mission of version 3.0. It’s so powerful.
[ force field scepter ]
[ Rarity: Epic (purple) ]
[ parameters: 50 cm in length, 2 kg in weight, forged from rare alloy, high-quality internal parts included ]
[ equipment requirements: LV60 and above, strength: 150, energy: 200 ]
[ attribute bonus: +100 energy,+100 strength,+10 charm,+10 luck ]
[ special effect: shock wave-releases an invisible shock wave that deals 1000 damage to the target. Consumes 100 energy points. ]
Defensive force field-force field defense, can be used to bind enemies or form a protective shield. Energy consumption increases according to range.
Sub-space transfer-perform a small area sub-space transfer on a target. The cost depends on the number of transferred targets and the number of targets.
[ note: charm and luck always favor those with strength. ]
There was no need to mention the increase in strength and energy. This weapon also increased his charm and luck by 10 points. Equipment that could increase charm and luck were extremely rare, and weapons that had combat significance like this were even rarer.
And today, link had also held the scepter and put on a show in front of everyone.
Of course, the price was that he used up 4000 points of energy and his body was almost completely drained.
Just as link was admiring his new weapon, Helen suddenly spoke in a hurried tone, head of state, we suddenly received a distress signal during our voyage. The signal came from a planet not far away. Should we respond? ”
