When traveling through the void, the protection outside the Hall of Valor can isolate the harsh void environment, but it has no protection against the void force, nor can it resist the severe cold of the outer space.
As void behemoths, the ubiquitous void force is like the air they breathe, so naturally they don't need defense. As for the severe cold, it can be said that they have no feeling for them who are extremely large and naturally tyrannical.
But if ordinary humans want to survive in such an environment, they need to use the force to protect themselves all the time. As long as there is no general, the time to persist is very limited. Even if you become a warrior, you can only stay longer.
Qianye looked at the route map, except for the crew in charge of the engine, the rest let them go to rest, and then took turns to take charge of the two engines.
The two high-power engines that are powerful enough to propel the destroyer have little effect on the Hall of Valor. It only increases the speed of the Hall of Valor by more than ten kilometers per hour, and an acceleration process is required. In contrast, the power sail that has already been built is even better.
Seeing that most of the crew members had returned to the protective cabin, only Qianye himself was still wandering in Ruoda's Hall of Valor. He simply flew above the strider's head, and stood there silently, staring at the magnificent and boundless void scene for a long time, with many thoughts in his heart.
There is no sun or moon in void navigation, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the depths of the void, a fleet is sailing fast. This fleet is mainly composed of two high-speed transport ships, and is escorted by a high-speed warship. Regardless of whether it is a transport ship or a battleship, the logos on it have been painted out, and the bright and reflective parts have also been painted matte. All portholes had thick curtains drawn so that no lights could be seen. In the entire fleet, only the engines occasionally spewed out some flames.
Looking from a distance, this fleet seemed to have merged into the void, invisible and invisible, and quickly went away in the vast darkness.
In the command cabin of the leading high-speed battleship, the captain with a beard is holding a telescope, scanning back and forth in the void. The first mate next to him put down his binoculars at this moment, and said, "Old Ma, what can you see if you look around all day long? Our trip is so secret that even I didn't know the destination until after boarding the ship. What could be the problem?"
The bearded captain said in a low voice, "In this kind of place, anything can happen."
The first officer smiled and said, "We won't be so unlucky..."
Before he finished speaking, he shivered suddenly, and a ray of icy cold swept across the entire command cabin like a cold wave!
The command cabin suddenly exploded, and the bearded captain immediately shouted: "It's the demons! We have been discovered, so send a signal to the transport ships behind to let them go back the way they came. Raise the alarm, and the whole ship is ready to fight!"
The crew immediately divided up to execute the order, busy but not in a hurry. After the contact light was lit and flashed continuously, the two high-speed transport ships behind began to speed up and turn, drawing a large arc and leaving the route.
The first officer watched the two transport ships gradually go away from the porthole, and suddenly sighed, and said: "They can't escape, the devil's ship is too fast. What the hell, it's not that the neutral land is not suitable for the devil. Well, what are they doing here?"
The captain opened the drawer, took out two short guns inside, handed one to the first officer, and said, "Hold it, you'll need it later."
The first mate smiled wryly, "Do you think we still have a chance to use this thing?"
The captain's face was gloomy, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he said, "Killing one counts as one."
"I hope so." The first mate was not optimistic.
In fact, both of them understood that they were discovered by the opponent's perception scan before seeing the opponent's fleet. Only a duke-level powerhouse could do this. This time, the opponent is already too strong to make people hopeless.
The camouflage on the surface of the battleship was removed one by one, and the battleship was quickly ready for battle. The ballista on the front deck was quickly raised, and the arrow of the giant crossbow was shining with a cold light, pointing straight to the void. The entire ship is full of fighting spirit, and everyone knows that in void ship battles, defeat means death. It's just that these ordinary crew members don't know how powerful the enemy is this time.
The bearded captain didn't say a word, staring straight ahead.
Finally, a slender demon battleship leaped out from the depths of the void and approached quickly like a swimming fish. It is black all over, with dark gold to outline smooth lines that seem to be pulsating. Whenever people see the Demon-born battleship, they will be overwhelmed by its elegance and magnificence. However, in the eyes of the soldiers of the empire, this kind of elegance is literally synonymous with death.
With the appearance of the first demon warship, more and more warships jumped out of the void one after another, endlessly.
"So many!" Even though the first officer had experienced many wars, he couldn't help but gasp at this moment.
A total of more than ten demon warships, large and small, appeared, and this came to an end. But the command cabin didn't breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, everyone held their breath, staring at the seemingly empty darkness, waiting for the final moment.
After a period of unbearable silence, finally, a giant ship slowly slipped out of the void, surrounded by many demon-born warships, coldly and proudly looking down at the weak and ant-like imperial warship in front of it.
Looking at this giant ship with a full 300 meters, the atmosphere in the command cabin completely turned into despair. The one who can sit in this giant ship is at least the vice duke. The devil-born vice-duke, with his innate weirdness and high speed, can blow up this imperial battleship in the void even without relying on a ship. After all, this is just a frigate, high speed and flexibility are the biggest advantages. When this point is also crushed, there is no way to fight back.
All the demon battleships remained motionless, only to hear a cold voice in the command cabin: "I am Lin Jiaer of the Masefield family, give up resistance, and don't make me trouble."
The first officer and the captain looked at each other with wry smiles.
Lin Jiaer, who came from the Masefield family, is known as the flower that never fades. He is considered a genius of the previous two generations. In recent years, he has crossed the biggest hurdle and has grown into a vice duke. However, she comes from a famous family of demons. Although she has just been promoted, in the evaluation of the empire, her combat power can already be included in the middle of all the vice dukes of Eternal Night.
That's actually quite an achievement. Being able to break through to the Duke is no less difficult than breaking through to a god general of the human race, and those who have crossed this level are all heroes of the moment. After the breakthrough, many people have exhausted their talents here, and the improvement of combat power often depends on the accumulation of long years. Lin Jiaer's ability to stand out among many geniuses shows that the future is not limited to the vice duke, and even the duke may not be the end.
In the past years, the never-fading flower has achieved brilliant results and rarely failed, causing the empire to suffer a lot. In her life, she was defeated by Lin Xitang several times in a row, but Lin Xitang never seized the opportunity to kill her completely, which shows how difficult she is.
The captain looked solemn, and said: "How could Lin Jiaer appear in this place and lead such a large fleet. No, this matter is of great importance, and we must find a way to notify Seventh Young Master and the empire."
The first mate smiled wryly, "Do you think we still have the possibility to notify the Seventh Young Master?"
At this moment, the scene in the distance made the captain furious, and he punched the console heavily, smashing the steel-cast table into a deep hole.
Instead of speeding up, the two high-speed transport ships that had completed their turn and were able to speed up to escape stopped, apparently preparing to catch them without a fight.
The captain was furious: "These bastards!"
But the first officer said, "Is it possible to escape?"
The captain knew that this was the truth, no matter how fast the transport ship was, it would not be able to outrun the battleship of the devil. Not to mention them, even this high-speed frigate couldn't outrun Lin Jiaer's ship, so the captain planned to fight to the death.
But even knowing it was the truth, the captain was still extremely annoyed, and said angrily, "Those two ships were all the work of Seventh Young Master, even if they couldn't escape, how could they fall into the enemy's hands? Why didn't you blow up the ship?"
The first officer sighed softly and said, "Old Ma, you still have this temper. You are not afraid of death, but people want to live, what can we do?"
"Is it okay to just watch the cargo fall into the hands of the demons?" The captain's eyes flashed with anger, and he suddenly shouted: "The whole ship turns around, aims at those bastards, and sinks them for me!"
The first officer hurriedly grabbed the captain and shouted, "No way! Those two ships are all brothers who have been with Qi Shao for many years!"
"Brother? Will the Brotherhood surrender at this time?"
The first mate didn't let go, saying: "If you want to fight the demons first!"
"Alright!" The captain still hated it.
At this moment in the command cabin, Lin Jiaer's extremely cold voice sounded again: "Little guys in front, don't you intend to surrender?"
Following her words, the main guns of several Demon-born warships began to glow, indicating that the energy had been replenished and they were ready to bombard at any time. The other two warships accelerated forward and outflanked the rear.
The captain pointed at the demon battleship in front of him, and shouted: "That's the one! Brothers, if you are not afraid of death, we will bomb him. Even if you die, we will give these demons a hard time!"
The battleship ballista turned in response, obviously the soldiers on board were not afraid of death.
The captain raised his right hand high, and was about to cut it down. He gave the command to fire, and saw a huge crossbow flying out of the void in the distance, piercing through the stern of the outermost demon warship. A dazzling fireball suddenly ignited at the rear of the Demon-born battleship, and the flames spread rapidly, swallowing half of the ship's hull in a short time.
This sudden change shocked both sides immediately. The burning demon battleship's light was too strong, but it made the surroundings even darker, making it difficult for people to see what happened for a while.
The warships of the empire have a better angle because of their position. Pointing to the distance, the first officer stammered, "Then, what is that!"
At the same moment, Lin Jiaer, who was dressed in a high-collared and gorgeous military uniform, stood up abruptly in the demon-born giant ship, staring at the giant beast slowly emerging from the void in the distance, and couldn't hide his shock: "Void giant beast? No, the battleship ? Impossible! What, what is this?"
In the distant void, a gigantic void beast is leaping out soundlessly. It is more than a kilometer long from head to tail, and its head alone is more than a hundred meters long. This is the real behemoth. Compared with it, Lin Jiaer's ship is like a child's toy.
It doesn't look like a living thing, it's obviously a skeleton, and it doesn't know how many years it has been dead. But it happens to move freely, as if it still has life.
It wasn't until a ballista was shot from its mouth that it hit another Demon-born warship, and Lin Jiaer finally confirmed that it was a warship.
"The whole fleet counterattacks!" Lin Jiaer's cold voice resounded through the void, and all the demon warships were dispatched, like sharks smelling blood, eagerly pounced on this strange giant beast of unknown origin.
Qianye stood in the mouth of the ground strider at this moment, and through the teeth that stood like peaks, he stared at a demon warship rushing forward. He firmly locked on to the target, stepped hard, and the huge ballista under him shook violently, and the four-meter-long crossbow whizzed out, blasting towards the oncoming demon warship.
Almost at the same moment, the prow of the demon-born battleship also burst into light with force, and two giant crossbows also shot at it. After the main gun fired, it immediately began to turn, trying to avoid the incoming crossbow arrows.
This demon warship is well-trained, extremely fast, and has very fierce firepower. Although the ballista it fired was slightly shorter than Qianye's, it fired two shots at a time. In terms of firepower, it has surpassed the main destroyer of the Empire. Different from the comprehensive balance of blood warships, demon warships have always been known for their high speed, powerful firepower and many strange abilities.
At this moment, the entire body of the demon battleship became faintly visible, as if shrouded in a layer of fog, and even the flight trajectory became erratic. This is the most famous "fog concealment" of the Demon-born battleship. Once activated, it will make the locked ballista lose its target. I don't know how many times the Demon-born warship has avoided fatal blows by virtue of this ability. This is also one of the abilities that the captains of the empire hate the most.
As soon as the fog came out, the flying crossbow immediately lost its target, and its trajectory was obviously deviated. However, Hidden Fog may be effective for other people, but in Qianye's real vision, all the fog can be seen through, and the trajectory of the demon-born battleship is clearly visible.
Qianye's perception was always connected with the tracking giant crossbow that was fired. At that moment, his thoughts turned, and the original force array of the giant crossbow was full of rays of light. Suddenly, he turned his head and blasted towards the stern of the demon battleship at full speed!
The demon warship thought it had avoided this blow, but it didn't expect the disaster to come, and there was no time to dodge, and the fragile stern was hit firmly!
The giant crossbow shot directly into the exhaust passage, pierced deeply into the engine, and then exploded suddenly. The strong impact also detonated the battleship's main engine. In a series of earth-shattering explosions, the entire rear half of the demon warship was blown away, and the remaining hull of the first half rolled and floated into the void under the impact.
At the same time as the demon battleship exploded, two giant crossbows also hit the Hall of Valor. But they hit the strider's teeth and exploded.
Qianye covered his head and face with his arms, easily withstood the aftermath of the explosion, and then began to check the damage.
There was only a piece of scorched black left on the outside of the ground strider's teeth. Qianye swung an invisible blade of force to scrape off the scorched charcoal traces, and found that the entire tooth was unscathed, not even the tiniest crack. The all-powerful blow from the demon warship had no effect on the remains of the ground strider.
Qianye was relieved immediately, and aimed at another Demon-born warship. This battleship was much smarter, instead of confronting Qianye, it immediately jumped up and flew to the dead corner of the ballista's firing range. The other demon-born warships followed suit, like a group of sharks, constantly unfolding around the huge Hall of Valor, and all kinds of ballistas shot like locusts.
All of a sudden, fireballs burst out from the huge ship of the Hall of Valor, shaking unceasingly.
Qianye tried his best to control the Hall of Valor to dodge, but the Hall of Valor is too huge, and the power system has not even been installed to one-tenth, so he can only rely on the energy provided by the heart and the remaining instinct of the remains to fly. It is like a real monster, staggering and clumsy with the sharks.
