Chapter 682 Panic
Half a month after the six-clawed giant star disintegrated.
In the vast void, the escape fleets of Heart of Freedom and the Supreme Royal Court were in a state of inertial navigation.
At this time, the fleeing fleets of both sides did not gather together, but were divided into 16 formations.
Among them, there are only 2 formations of Heart of Freedom , and their scale is much smaller than that of the Supreme Court. The remaining 14 formations are all escape warships of the Supreme Court.
After all, the escape fleet of Free Heart was prepared in secret, and its scale was certainly not comparable to that of the Supreme Royal Court.
If it weren't for the escape fleet of the Supreme Court, the Royal Court would not have been so restrained, fearing that after annihilating the escape fleet of the Heart of Freedom, it would expose itself and consume more resources.
Therefore, although both sides fled in the same direction, they still maintained a parallel distance of nearly two and a half astronomical units.
Moreover, the Free Heart's escape fleet lagged behind the Supreme Court's escape fleet by about 5.2 astronomical units.
The liberals are very wary of the Wang Ting faction and monitor their every move at all times, for fear that they might take action against them.
Diwei, who had just completed a quarter of a Dabo year (about 3.2 Earth years) of hibernation, was now doing hibernation recovery exercises while receiving information left by the previous commander on duty, Stu.
In the cockpit of the flagship, six-clawed people who had ended their regular hibernation floated in one after another and began to hand over their work.
After completing about five hours of rehabilitation treatment, Diwei finally came over to take over the work. He asked Stu about the recent situation:
"Stu, is there anything unusual about the Wangting faction?"
"No, they should understand the consequences of attacking us now."
Di Wei quickly tapped the dashboard in front of him with his tentacles and continued to ask, "Is there any news from the mother planet?"
Hearing this question, Stu responded bitterly: "Diwei, don't you know how those guys in the parliament define us?"
Hearing this, Di Wei also fell silent.
The identity of this fleeing fleet is indeed very embarrassing. On the home planet, the Heart of Freedom, they are defined as "rebels" and have been expelled from the ranks of the Heart of Freedom.
The Heart of Freedom on the mother planet has indeed sent communications to them over the years, but the content of those communications either reprimanded them for defecting or demanded that they return to the mother planet immediately to stand trial.
This kind of meaningless content is sent out every now and then by the Council of Freedom on the mother planet.
As for the current situation of the mother planet, this liberal escape fleet knows almost nothing.
On the contrary, the Royal Court Faction was very united at this time and maintained information connection with the Supreme Royal Court of the mother planet.
However, without superluminal communication, they are destined to have no way to avoid the incoming double neutron shells.
Just as Diwei was checking the recent sailing log.
A sharp alarm suddenly sounded from the flagship's cockpit.
[Alert! Received clear code message, special weapons from alien civilization are coming, please disperse and escape as soon as possible! ]
"What?" Stu, who had not yet left the cockpit, was startled: "Where did the information come from?"
At this time, Di Wei also quickly checked the follow-up of this clear warning information.
However, in this delay, several seconds had passed.
The first batch of double-neutron shells passed by their fleet.
One of the sentinel warships on guard at the periphery was hit by a double neutron shell on the rear thruster in an instant.
The double neutron shells entered from the thrusters in the rear half of the battleship and then rushed out from the magnetic field shield generator in the front half of the battleship.
In an instant, the sentinel warship was penetrated from front to back, forming a "penetrating wound" with a radius of several dozen meters inside the warship.
And that's just the direct physical damage.
Because the speed of the double neutron shells is extremely high, when they collide with objects inside the warship, they will quickly generate high-frequency sound waves and a series of shock waves.
Because the Sentinel battleship is relatively small, the six-clawed man inside is instantly seriously injured or even killed by the infrasound waves.
After the interior of the battleship suffered irreparable damage, the various compartments inside also suffered varying degrees of damage. Then the main energy system of the spacecraft was paralyzed, leaving only a small number of backup nuclear batteries that were still working tenaciously.
In the flagship cockpit.
Sticky liquid kept oozing out of Diwei's skin, and his heart was instantly filled with fear.
"Report! Sentinel battleship No. 96 has been attacked!"
Upon hearing this news, the secretion rate of the sticky liquid on Di Wei's skin reached its peak. In an instant, he could not think about other things and roared with fierce and sharp ultrasonic waves:
"Quick... execute Escape Plan No. 5 immediately!"
"What?" Stu couldn't understand.
However, Di Wei, who was already frightened like a frightened bird, didn't bother to explain. He roared madly: "Don't ask! Execute the order immediately!"
Although the six-clawed man in the cockpit was puzzled, he quickly followed Di Wei's instructions.
Soon, clear electromagnetic waves spread in all directions.
The flagship where Di Wei was, along with the other 11 warships, quickly started the main thrusters and auxiliary thrusters and quickly changed trajectory in one direction.
"Huff, huff..." Di Wei, who was still in shock, collapsed on his seat like a puddle of mud.
Stu, realizing that the situation might be very serious, did not dare to enter the hibernation capsule at this time, but asked :
"Diwei, what happened?"
"Look for yourself!" Di Wei, weakly, pointed at the data reading interface on the dashboard with trembling tentacles.
Stu didn't waste any time and immediately extended his tentacles to connect to the data reading interface.
A few seconds later, sticky liquid also came out of its skin. "The alien civilization's weapons are aimed at us? How is that possible? Why didn't the monitoring equipment go on alert? What near-light-speed weapons?"
At this moment, Stu finally understood Diwei's fear just now.
"Report! The 5th temporary team was attacked by unknown weapons and lost 4 space battleships..."
"Report! The 9th temporary squadron was attacked by unknown weapons and lost 2 ships..."
While Di Wei used the space suit auxiliary system to absorb the sticky liquid on his body, he ordered: "Don't stop, turn on all the power systems at full power!"
"..." Stu hesitated to speak, but finally agreed to Diwei's instructions.
Although doing so would cause the warships' material consumption rate to skyrocket, if they did not speed up and escape from the enemy's attack direction now, their fate would be extremely miserable.
The scattered liberal space battleships fled madly in other directions.
However, a steady stream of double-neutron shells continued to sweep across the void.
The even larger fleeing fleet of the Royal Court was also hit by double neutron shells one after another.
One spaceship after another was blown up in the void, turning into fragments or wreckage.
The escape fleet sent by the royal court, which also received the early warning information, also began to flee in all directions.
