Heavy-duty trucks drove up to the cargo airship, and the driver and the workers on the trucks unloaded the boxes one by one. Qingyue took a few Gaohu fighters out of the box to inspect one by one, and saw that there were indeed power sail components in the cargo box, and the quality met the requirements before they were allowed to be transported onto the airship.
The power sail is very huge, and one of the largest power sails is dismantled, and these one-meter-square cargo boxes need to be loaded with more than a dozen boxes. A heavy-duty truck can also hold two power sails. Qingyue insisted on opening the box for inspection, so the process was very slow, even with the assistance of the Gaohu tribe, it would take several hours.
The merchants who delivered the goods were not impatient, they just stood aside and waited. In a neutral place, face-to-face inspection of goods is the norm, and there is no credibility here. When commodities are traded, it happens from time to time to turn around and grab goods on the spot.
But this time the transaction was dominated by City Lord Nanqing, and with his endorsement, none of those small arms dealers dared to play tricks. Even so, Ji Rui still sent four truckloads of elite fighters to escort the convoy.
Qianye was the other party receiving the goods, if he dared to steal his things, he would be courting death. The disbanded Galefury is proof of that. Moreover, Qianye has also gained a reputation now. Everyone knows that he is cruel and merciless, and he will take revenge endlessly until he kills them all.
Therefore, the value of the goods is hundreds of thousands, and nothing went wrong during the handover process.
It's just that in the crowd, one person quietly observed the handover process for a while, then sneaked out of the town, came to a distant highland, and activated a force array. At the core of the original force array, there was a strong light flashing immediately, but it could only be seen in the air.
High in the distance, close to the void, three imperial warships were parked in the air, full of murderous aura.
Lu Saobei stood at the porthole, looking at the distant landmass expressionlessly. At this moment, on the land mass, there is a faint light constantly flickering. This flickering light is also a means of communication, which can transmit messages by length and frequency.
Lu Saobei watched quietly until the flash ended, then turned around and said, "The transaction will end in about three hours, and the cargo ship will take off. It's unclear whether Qianye is on board, at least he didn't show up at the transaction site."
"Then shall we track down the cargo ship, or shoot it down first?"
Lu Saobei snorted, glared at his subordinates with dissatisfaction, and said: "What's the value of a broken ship? Qianye is the core! As long as his head is taken, his promotion is just around the corner, and we don't have to suffer in this damn place anymore .Order to let the other two warships follow the flagship and follow the cargo ship. Without my order, do not fire, do not expose."
At this moment outside the small town, the long process of inspecting the goods has finally come to an end, and the workers and soldiers began to load the boxes onto the cargo ship one by one. And Qingyue ordered people to lift a large box from the cargo ship and put it in front of Liu Yuanxi.
Liu Yuanxi opened the box and saw that it was full of neatly arranged black crystals, and his breathing became a little heavy and became rapid.
He quickly closed the lid of the box, motioned for his subordinates to carry it to the car, and then saluted with a smile on his face: "The payment is settled, and I wish you a safe journey back home, Miss."
Qingyue thanked her and boarded the cargo ship with her clansmen.
The old engine roared heavily, and the white steam was mixed in the billowing black smoke, spraying to the surroundings. The cargo spaceship trembled, and the trembling became more and more severe as the engine power increased. Finally, it shook and left the ground, but there was a creaking sound from nowhere, making people worry that it would disintegrate in the air the next moment.
However, this cargo ship, like other machinery in the neutral land, is outdated, old, and poor in performance, but it is only strong and resistant. It climbs slowly into the air, and it is crumbling but refuses to fall. When it reached hundreds of meters, it turned awkwardly like a monster just waking up, and flew towards the East China Sea.
The cargo ship flew slowly, trailing a long trail of mixed steam and black smoke, which lingered for a long time and was easy to track.
Lu Saobei and others, who were hiding in the sky, saw that the wake of the cargo ship could be traced by sight alone, and they immediately let go of their worries. If this can also make the cargo ship slip away, they can all be killed head-on. The only downside is that the cargo ship is moving too slowly, and tracking it is really a test of patience.
On the deck of the cargo ship, a Gaohu soldier was holding a huge telescope, constantly searching the surrounding space carefully. His expression suddenly changed, and he caught an unusual reflection in the camera's field of view. He aimed in the direction of the flash, constantly adjusted the field of view mode of the telescope, and searched carefully.
This telescope is huge and rough, wrapped with cloth strips for both protection and camouflage, which is a typical gaohu style. It may not be as powerful as the high-grade telescope of the Empire, but it is already top-notch in neutral ground. The Empire Multipurpose Telescope will be damaged within a month.
After several consecutive adjustments and careful selection of angles, three faint shadows finally appeared in the field of view of the telescope. Although only a rough outline can be seen, it is enough for the Gaohu fighter to make a judgment.
He put away the binoculars, quickly rushed into the control room, and said: "Dear Battle Girl, there are three battleships in outer space that have been following us. Their performance is quite good, and we are no opponents in the air. I suggest that we make an emergency landing now, Get rid of them on the ground!"
Qingyue looked calm, as if not worried, said: "It is too late to land now, and there is no need. We will fly forward along the established route, Lord Qianye will come to meet us."
The Gaohu soldier looked worried, "But... those three warships are very unusual. One of them is probably a destroyer. Such large floating warships are rare. Even if Master Qianye arrives in time, I am afraid it will be difficult Deal with three battleships?"
"Just look at it."
Qingyue has already made a decision, so Gaohu warrior will not say more. However, all the Gaohu people in the command cabin looked very dignified. They have been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Even if they have not experienced fleet battles, at least they have seen it. Therefore, they all knew that this vulnerable and dilapidated cargo ship could not withstand even a salvo of the main guns. And the powerful ballista that imperial battleships like to use can blow up this cargo ship in the air with one shot.
Qingyue didn't explain, just stood in front of the porthole, looking at the endless void in the distance.
In the vast East China Sea, the cargo ship was advancing slowly without haste. At a high altitude in the rear, three imperial warships also followed it to the sea.
The East China Sea is a famous fierce place. The fierce beasts in the sea are powerful and ferocious, and there are many giant beasts that can rush into the air in a short time. However, the imperial warships flew very high, and the beasts in the sea could not reach this height at all. On the contrary, the cargo ship below is somewhat dangerous.
Qingyue was expressionless, but she was wondering what method Qianye planned to use to deal with the three imperial warships. Although she expected trouble this time, she never expected that the empire would send three warships at once. With such strength, I am afraid that a small half of the empire's hidden strength in the neutral land has already been revealed.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the command room of the imperial warship is quite relaxed. Someone joked: "I heard that there are extremely powerful giant beasts hidden in the East China Sea, and it is not safe to even fly over. We won't be swallowed by giant beasts, right?"
This joke was not funny, but there was exaggerated laughter in the command room. Tracking a cargo ship at a snail's pace can be pretty boring, and there's always something to do in the midst of a dull voyage.
Wu Saobei frowned, but said nothing. He felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. The command room was not only relaxed, but also mixed with some inexplicable tension. Those officers who laughed so loudly were actually afraid of something in their hearts, so they laughed so exaggeratedly.
Wu Saobei knew very well what his colleagues and subordinates were afraid of. They were afraid of Qianye.
From the bloody battle on the Iron Curtain, to the Battle of the Floating Land, to the duel with the Witch, to the raid on the military stronghold, and to defeating the Gale of Fury in the neutral ground, Qianye's record is simply unbelievable. If one ignores his force level and only looks at the actual battle results, then the people on these three warships combined may not be Qianye's opponent.
Lu Saobei chose a decisive battle in the air, using his strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. But the truly strong have the ability to float in the air for a short time, and Qianye seems to be particularly good at it. Once he failed to stop him and was successfully boarded by him, it would definitely be a disaster.
Thinking of this, Lu Saobei's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his chest felt tight, and he felt very uncomfortable. If Qianye really boarded the ship, what should he do
This question is like a fishbone, lying in the throat, no matter how hard it is to swallow.
At this moment, Lu Saobei suddenly felt that his eyes had become darker, as if the sky was overcast.
But the battleship is flying at the boundary of the void at this moment, and all the clouds should be below. And today the sky over the East China Sea is clear with no clouds at all.
"Why is the sky cloudy?" Someone also noticed the abnormality and muttered.
Lu Saobei's heart suddenly trembled, and when he looked up, he saw a huge shadow appearing at some point, floating over the entire fleet at this moment!
"Oh my god, what, what is that?" The other officers also saw the shadow, their hearts trembled, and their voices trembled with nervousness.
An officer with the sharpest eyesight suddenly exclaimed: "Giant beast! That's a giant beast! How can there be such a huge giant beast? Could it be a void giant beast?"
At this moment, Lu Saobei was staring blankly at the sky, too surprised to speak.
The shadow expanded rapidly, covering the entire fleet. A violent storm suddenly blew up in the peaceful high sky, and the force of the void was violently moving. The three imperial battleships seemed to be sailing on a sea full of storms. Ups and downs.
At this time, everyone saw that an unbelievably large dragon beast was falling from the sky, pressing down on the fleet!
Lu Saobei's whole body trembled suddenly, and he noticed that Qianye was standing there on top of the giant void beast.
