Chapter 305 Ambush

On the other side of the moon, the rainbow bridge floating in space is slowly turning. Under the reflection of the cosmic light, the huge metal components flowed with a silvery luster, and the mana starships were entering the Rainbow Bridge one by one, waiting for the channel authority to be activated.

The Dawn had already submitted an application to the Rainbow Bridge Space Station a week ago for the passage permission, and successfully obtained the position of the fast passage. Under the pilot's operation, the starship slid steadily toward the position of the designated channel, waiting for the rainbow bridge to open the warp space of the designated coordinates.

In the cockpit of the starship, Allen sat on the bridge, looking down from the captain's position, and had a clear view of the operating platform below.

"Whenever I see the Rainbow Bridge, I feel it is very spectacular." The newly joined mercenary Belmode looked into the projection window of the starship, and used the external camera device to project the scene outside the starship to the inner layer of the ship in real time. On the armor of the ship, this allows people in the hull to see the scene outside.

Roy, who was sitting next to him, was dozing off with his eyes closed. Not far away, Broy, who had an interstellar execution disorder, nervously grasped the armrests on both sides. Vera in front of him drew the scene in the cockpit with black and white strokes on a clean drawing paper. Strangely, Vera was painting with her eyes closed throughout the whole process, as if she was looking at the entire space with another dimension of sight.

Everyone is doing their own thing, and as time goes by, the space station at Rainbow Bridge sends instructions, and the warp space is officially opened!

As a result, the Dawn and the surrounding space gradually distorted, stretched, and finally disappeared into the normal space.

"Ten minutes will leave the warp space." The pilot reported to Allen.

Allen nodded. He sat on the captain's seat and took out a pocket watch from his jacket pocket. The pocket watch was a gift from Horn, and it was old, but Horn polished it to a bright spot. Open the pocket watch, there is a photo inside. The photo is yellowed, and the person in it is Lanny when she was a child. Allen looked at this photo silently, this pocket watch, this photo is extremely precious to Horn. However, he gave it to Allen, and the meaning of it is self-evident.

"Mother..." Allen said softly: "Please watch me in heaven, I will not let you down!"

Vera, who was drawing, suddenly stopped her strokes, and even used too much force, breaking the tip of the charcoal pencil. The girl suddenly opened her eyes, and there was only gray and white in the eye sockets. Her gaze seemed to travel through time and space, and landed on a specific point. Then the dark pupils slid down from the eye sockets, and Vera said anxiously: "Attack!"

Although her voice was soft, Allen could hear her clearly. He took back his pocket watch and asked, "What did you say?"

"Attack, when we leave the warp space, we will be attacked immediately!"

Everyone in the cockpit was stunned.

Adele said decisively: "This is impossible. The colony star assigned by the Federation is located in the Ludson star field. This is a public star field developed by us and Idahua Star. We have no enemies here, so we are attacking or something." ..."

"I believe what I see." Vera said in a calm voice: "Until now, what I have seen has never been the slightest deviation."

"There are still 5 minutes." The pilot announced the time.

Everyone looked at Allen, Allen's eyes lit up, and he had already made a decision: "Enter the combat state, open the weapon platform and defense system!"

Since he, the captain, issued the order, others would naturally not object.

"Turn on the shield!"

"The high-energy light cannon array is on standby!"

"Quantum light mine turret, the ammunition is loaded!"

"Concussion missile, launch preparation is complete!"

After a series of operations, the Shuguang was ready for battle, and a layer of faint blue shield wrapped the entire hull of the ship and then became invisible. As for all the weapon platforms on the ship, they are ready to launch at any time.

The pilot continued to count down: "There is still one minute until the exit..."

"50 seconds."

"30 seconds."

"10 seconds……"

"5 seconds……"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Leave!"

The front exterior view window suddenly lit up, and then the light dimmed. In front of the starship is a starry universe, and in the distance, nebulae intertwined with blue and purple halos lie across the indigo blue outer space. From time to time, one or two perishers flew by, and the flame tails they brought up left clear tracks in space.

"Look, there is no attack." Adele shook her head and said, "You are too sensitive..."

At the end of the sentence, the hull suddenly shook, and the pilot shouted: "We are under attack from the rear, and the enemy is behind us!"

"How come?" Adele flashed a look of surprise.

On the external viewing window, a small window opens, which is the rear projection window of the starship. It is not difficult to see that behind the Shuguang, a group of small airships are flying in formation, the main guns of the ship are firing again and again, and the high-energy beams of the lasing hit the shield of the Shuguang, exploding clusters of flames. These airships do not have any marks, and it is impossible to tell which faction they belong to.

But being able to accurately grasp the coordinates of the Shuguang entering the normal space is obviously aimed at Allen's hunting group.

"Counterattack!" Allen ordered.

The high-energy light cannon array on the Shuguang took the lead in attacking, and a series of blue electric lights pierced the star curtain, and launched a fierce counterattack against the enemy plane. The enemy spaceships made flexible evasive actions, but several of them were still blasted by the light cannons, turning into huge fireballs, lighting up the nearby space.

"Be careful, an unidentified spaceship appears in front of us."

There was an asteroid in front of the Dawn, and spaceships flew over behind the asteroid. There were dozens of these combat units, and they spread out, making it impossible for the Dawn to concentrate their firepower to destroy them. Following the spaceship, a silver starship much larger than the Dawn appeared from behind the planet. It kept rising and pressed towards Allen and others with a slow but unparalleled momentum.

This is a battleship!

Battleships are the backbone of the airship fleet, they are mobile fortresses that can provide sufficient firepower for the fleet to suppress. When needed, it can also serve as a temporary repair factory, allowing damaged combat units to quickly restore combat capabilities.

It can be said that the combat capability of a fleet with battleships will increase several times.

"It's really hard work!" Allen gritted his teeth.

The Dawn is just a vehicle for the hunting group to go to and from the interstellar space. Although it has a certain amount of firepower, it cannot be compared with the Battleship. Seeing this battleship, everyone gasped.

At this time, the starship received a connection request from the ground communication center. Each starship that goes on an expedition has a corresponding communication terminal. Communication terminals are generally installed in the family's ground communication center to ensure the connection between the family and the starship. After the Dawn requested through the connection, Allen grabbed the communicator and said: "This is the Dawn, we have been attacked by unknown people."

"Repeat, we are under attack!"

"Captain!" The pilot suddenly shouted, and he pointed to the external viewing window.

Allen looked up, and in the window, the opponent's battleship raised the deck from the front of the hull, spitting out a gun barrel with circuits all over it. That is the starship's quantum main gun, and the shield of the Dawn cannot resist this level of attack. Allen snorted, and hurriedly said to the communicator: "The other party used the quantum main cannon, we have to evade it. Grandpa... I will try my best to keep my promise."

Putting down the communicator, Allen stood up and shouted: "Prepare for warp sailing!"

The pilot's expression changed, and he said, "Captain, without specific coordinates, we don't know what is on the other side of the exit. We will get lost!"

"If you get lost, you still have a chance to find your way home. But if you don't go now, we will become cannon fodder!"

The battleship's muzzle has already lit up, and the diffuse light is like a small sun. Allen said decisively: "Do as I say!"

"Obey!"

"Turn on the warp speed engine and enter the countdown."

"3, 2..."

"1!"

At the same time that the Aurora entered warp space, the battleship's quantum main gun also opened fire, and a bright quantum beam rushed across the space like a torrent, barely smearing the afterimage of the Aurora when it escaped into space. The torrent continued to move away until it disappeared on the other side of the star screen, but there was no trace of the Aurora in space.

At the same time, in the ancient castle of Ugal in Babylon, the ground communication center is constantly calling for the Dawn.

Horn, who heard that the Aurora was attacked, strode in with his housekeeper, Haixin. Horn said in a deep voice: "What's going on, why is the Dawn under attack!"

The director of the center wiped his sweat and said: "Master, the current situation is unclear. We only received a brief message from Master Allen, and then lost contact with the Dawn."

"Play the message." Hai Xin said for Horn.

After a while, Allen's voice rang in the communication center: "...we are under attack! The other party used the quantum main cannon, and we have to evade it. Grandpa... I will try my best to keep my promise."

After repeating this several times, Horn's face was unprecedentedly solemn. He clenched his fists and said, "Quantum main gun! That means that the opponent at least used battleships. They used battleships just to deal with a junior like me, Bethkind. It's really a big deal."

"Master, is it possible that the coordinates have been tampered with?" Hai Xin asked.

Horn shook his head: "Alstair got the coordinates, there is no reason for people to tamper with it. It can only be said that someone got Alan's coordinates and set up an ambush in that place in advance. Mr. Heissing, put this Let Alstair know."

"Anna!" Horn called.

A slender figure turned around outside the gate, it was the blood scorpion Anna.

Horn said with a gloomy face: "Go and inform the dark owl, let them find out the mastermind behind this matter to me."

"What is the action level?"

"S!" Horn's eyes sparkled: "This is war, no matter who that person is. Since he wants war, how can Bethkind be afraid of war. Find him and destroy him!"

Anna nodded solemnly, she knew exactly what Horn's words meant. At the same time, she may not have seen Horn so angry for a long time.
