Chapter 1948 - 1538: Pursuit
"How could you all make such a mistake? I warned you from the start. The Royal Order of Twelve Knights under Icaroya are not easy to deal with, you must strike hard and not give them a chance!"
Mogasi criticized angrily.
"We didn’t expect that a second one would show up!"
Hammett replied irritably.
"Alright, stop arguing. What’s done is done. The urgent task now is to eliminate them; we’ll lend you a hand!"
Brunan was somewhat displeased, but couldn’t say much, as Hemick and Hammett were invited reinforcements.
"Alright!"
Hemick responded.
In an instant, the two forces merged and sped up to chase!
At this moment, Xia Weiya and Loren were fleeing with all their might. They glanced at the images sent back by the surveillance eyes along the way, nerves growing increasingly tense.
Behind them in the starry sky, countless enemies filled the view.
"Damn it, why do I feel like more and more enemies are chasing us? We must speed up our escape; they’re getting closer."
Loren said uneasily.
Xia Weiya’s expression changed. She looked at her damaged mecha, and the continuous red warning boxes popping up, then said to Loren.
"The Eternal Sleep Clan is making such a big move and using such ruthless means, they are determined to kill me. My mecha is damaged; at this rate we won’t escape. Loren, why don’t you flee while I distract them to buy you some time."
"What defeatist talk is that? We are life-and-death partners, if we die, we die together. How could I survive alone! If you distract them, I’ll turn and fight them immediately."
Loren’s face tightened, replying without hesitation.
Xia Weiya was slightly stunned, silent for a long time then replied.
"Alright!"
....
In the starry sky, the Legendary Level Star Destroyer "Immortal Blade" moved toward Zero Degree Land at high speed with the Blue Whale.
In the command room, Su Mo leisurely gnawed on an apple.
Sun Duoxiang also smiled and eagerly served beside him.
"Boss, with all we’ve gained, it should be enough to repair the Heart of Forbidden Prison, right?"
"Not enough, just barely enough for repair, but to fully restore it is far from that. Let me give you a simple example, the Heart of Forbidden Prison is so vast, with so many launch slots, the ammo stored is at least tens of billions, and what about the cannons on the fortress? We need at least dozens of Star Destroying Cannons, if you want more firepower, there’s no upper limit!"
Su Mo simply replied.
"Uh..."
Sun Duoxiang saw the gap was so big, decisively fell silent.
"What’s strange is, you usually don’t care about these things. What’s up today? Got some new ideas?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"I’m hoping the fortress gets repaired. By then, Tilo and the others will surely be reassigned, and the Immortal Blade will be left without a captain. Can I play with it then, become a captain myself, hehe!"
Sun Duoxiang rubbed his hands, laughing happily. Thinking about Tilo’s large hands operating all launch slots, full firepower, the spectacular scene made him itch to try.
"You’ve got quite the plan, so why not aim for the Prayer?"
Su Mo asked with a smile.
"Whether the Prayer can be repaired or not is a question, and I feel the Immortal Blade is more badass."
Sun Duoxiang drooled.
"Alright, not going to argue with you. When everything is fixed, surely there’ll be a ship for..."
Su Mo said cheerfully to Sun Duoxiang.
Just then, Long Ke suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Eternal Sleep Clan’s forces spotted!"
Everyone’s expression turned serious, as they looked over.
The optical imaging equipment presented an image of the distant starry sky, showing numerous Spirit Touchers moving at high speed.
Due to the proximity to Zero Degree Land, the interference was strong, so the radar scanning equipment was limited, and they only discovered the enemy just before collision.
"Everyone, be on alert, are they coming for us?"
Su Mo asked gravely.
"Boss! They must be coming for us, otherwise how could we run into them on our way to that barren Zero Degree Land? Damn it, these bastards never give up! Boss, let’s hit them hard!"
Sun Duoxiang said irritably, he had been chatting with Su Mo happily, when these pests appeared at the worst time.
Tilo observed for a while, then shook her head and said to Su Mo, "Shouldn’t be coming for us."
"No? Tilo, are you sure? Not coming for us?"
Sun Duoxiang asked in confusion.
"Look at the direction and speed they’re moving, it’s clear they’re not coming for us."
Tilo explained calmly.
"Then what are they doing?"
Sun Duoxiang scratched his head.
Su Mo looked at the direction of the Eternal Sleep Clan’s forces’ movement, suddenly had a thought, his expression changed slightly and said.
"Damn it, maybe they’re changing strategies due to a setback and giving up Ceres, targeting Zero Degree Land instead. If so, Xiao Wen may be in danger, immediately avoid them and head full speed to Zero Degree Land!"
"Alright!"
Tilo executed promptly.
In the starry sky, the Legendary Level Star Destroyer "Immortal Blade" led the Blue Whale to change course and skulk faster towards Zero Degree Land.
Meanwhile, a ripple appeared in the distant space.
An invisible V-type Lord Level Spirit Toucher suddenly appeared, its neural circuits lit up.
The intelligence was transmitted back through the neural network to Brunan and others at the forefront of the chase, prompting Brunan to stop first.
"Why stop chasing, didn’t we just spot a Star Destroyer?"
VI-type Heroic Level Spirit Toucher Hemick asked doubtfully.
"This is not just any Star Destroyer, it’s the Legendary Level ’Immortal Blade,’ the ship of Su Mo from the Royal Order of Twelve Knights!"
Mogasi immediately recognized it.
VI-type Emperor Level Spirit Toucher Brunan’s face twisted in fury, he said murderously, "Perfect timing, I was looking for him and now he shows up, let’s take him out first!"
Hemick and Hammett were slightly stunned; they rarely saw Brunan this angry, knowing him to be usually composed.
However, Mogasi understood very well why Brunan was so furious, because it was Su Mo who led the assault on VI-type Fortress Amariel, destroyed Red Crystal Fury and Black Mirror Light, and eventually looted the stockpile.
Each of these was a major crime.
In fact, this intercept plan was set with Su Mo as the top target, yet they hadn’t mastered Su Mo’s movements.
They had no idea where he had gone, but it turned out to be a fateful encounter.
