Zhao Hai stared for a moment, then he immediately reacted and went to his room on the ship. Just as he appeared in his room, he immediately heard someone knocking on his door.
Zhao Hai immediately went to the door and opened it. Margaret was standing outside, she looked at Zhao Hai with an anxious expression and said, "Zhao Hai, come with me to the command room. There are space pirates, we might have to retreat." After saying that, she walked towards the direction of the command room.
Zhao Hai quickly followed behind her. Before long, the two arrived at the command room. The command room was different from the last time Zhao Hai came. The last time Zhao Hai came, the people in the command room were very quiet. They were holding teacups and drinking tea while looking at the instruments they were controlling from time to time.
But now, it was a busy scene. Everyone was using all their strength to control their instruments. Their hands were constantly tapping on the keyboard while their mouths were constantly reporting information. The entire room was noisy.
Margaret didn't make a sound this time. She led Zhao Hai to the Captain's side. The Captain was still standing at his desk, looking at the screen with a serious expression. From time to time, he would issue orders.
Zhao was also looking at the screen on the table. He thought that the space pirates that Margaret was talking about were those who drove spaceships, similar to the pirates on Earth. But now, it seems like it wasn't the case at all. Beside the spaceships, there were some people, some people who flew in space!
Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. He didn't think that these people could fly in space. Moreover, they were wearing magic robes and warrior uniforms. This was beyond Zhao Hai's expectations.
Puzzled, Zhao looked at Margaret and said, "Teacher, are these space pirates?" Are they Mages? "
Margaret didn't look at Zhao Hai, she just nodded and said, "Right, these are space pirates. Some of them ascended from the lower realms while some of them are natives of the Machine Field. They are all 3rd rank and can fly freely in the universe. They specialize in plundering. Moreover, once they reach 3rd rank, whether it's a Mage's 50 stacked magic formation or a Warrior's sword qi, they can cause damage to ordinary spaceships. On the other hand, the Academy's spaceship is just an ordinary spaceship with almost no defensive systems. It would be very difficult to get rid of them." Margaret nodded and said, "Yes.
Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. According to his strength, he was currently a 4th rank Mage. If a 3rd rank Mage can fly in space, then it seems like he can also fly in space with his body.
Margaret didn't pay attention to Zhao Hai's expression. She was still looking at the space pirates as she said, "In general, space pirates wouldn't attack an Academy's spaceship. This is because they know that the Academy's spaceship doesn't have anything valuable. Even if they manage to steal the Academy's spaceship, it wouldn't be of any use. This is because no one would buy the Academy's spaceship."
Zhao Hai nodded. He already checked the information. In the Machine Field, the Ascension Academy's status was very high. The Ascension Academy's spaceship was protected by the three major forces. Anyone who attacks the Ascension Academy's spaceship would be hunted down by the three major forces.
Margaret continued, "The appearance of these people is strange. Not long after we left Peaceful Heaven Planet, they appeared. It seems like they were deliberately waiting for us."
Upon hearing Margaret, a figure instantly appeared in Zhao Hai's mind. It was Jin Jingji. Zhao Hai immediately said, "Teacher, could it be that Jin Jingji sent people to do this? This time, Adam's people didn't go back. He also doesn't want us to go back. "
Margaret stared, then she shook her head and said, "That's impossible. Jin Changji knows my identity. He wouldn't dare do such a thing!"
When Zhao Hai heard Margaret, he couldn't help but stare. But his eyes shined. This was because Margaret's words revealed something. Her identity wasn't simple!
But Zhao Hai still immediately said, "Teacher, there are only four possibilities for this situation. The first is that these people are real space pirates, but that's unlikely because space pirates generally wouldn't attack the Academy's spaceship unless they were instructed by someone. The second possibility is that they are from a family hostile to the Adams Family. The reason they attacked us is because they know that the Adams Family has enmity with us. They want to use this method to bring disaster to the Adams Family and let the Ashley Family and the Adams Family fight to the death, while they reap the benefits from it.
The third possibility is that these people are really from the Adams Family. They just want to attack us here. After killing us, if the Adams Family comes looking for them, they will say that they were framed by someone else. They won't do such an obvious attack to draw trouble to themselves. This way, no one will suspect them anymore.
The fourth possibility is that these people are from the opposing forces of our Ashley Family. They want to attack us here and then blame it on the Adams Family so that our two families will fight to the death. "
Margaret wasn't the only one who heard what Zhao Hai said, the Captain also heard it. When they heard what Zhao Hai said, both of them were dumbfounded. It seemed like a simple pirate attack, but Zhao Hai was able to explain so much. The two of them didn't think that Zhao Hai would be able to explain so much.
Margaret stammered, "Then, who do you think are the people who attacked us?"
Zhao Hai replied, "First of all, it's impossible for these people to be space pirates. Calm Star is a training site, this isn't a secret. There's nothing strange about us coming here to test ourselves. Even space pirates wouldn't attack us, so they can't be real space pirates. Second, they can't be people from the Adams Family. Although the Mages of the Adams Family were killed, the Adams Family wouldn't take the risk, because it was worth it. So it's impossible for these people to be people from the Adams Family. Third, I don't think that these people are from an enemy family of the Adams Family. Although killing us might cause the Ashley Family and the Adams Family to go to war, the two families should know that war wouldn't bring them any benefits. When the time comes, both the Ashley Family and the Adams Family would do everything in their power to track down the culprits, which would expose them. Therefore, although killing us seems like a good move, it's actually a very unwise move. Therefore, I don't think that these people are from the Adams Family's enemy family. They were blinded by hatred, so they wouldn't let go of any opportunity to attack the Ashley Family. Therefore, they made this move this time." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Although the Adams Family's Mages were killed, there's only one possibility left for the Adams Family. They were blinded by hatred, so they wouldn't let go of any opportunity to attack the Ashley Family.
Zhao Hai's analysis was so thorough that Margaret and the others couldn't find any reason to refute it. Therefore, Margaret and the captain nodded at the same time.
Margaret said, "Zhao Hai, what do you think we should do now?"
Zhao Hai looked at the mages and warriors on the table and said, "Turn around and return to Tairuo Star. We just left Tairuo Star not long ago. With the speed of the spaceship, returning to Tairuo Star is the safest. The enemy shouldn't expect us to go back. When we reach Tairuo Star, we'll send a message to the family and ask them to send people to support us."
When Margaret heard Zhao Hai's words, she couldn't help but stare. Then her eyes lit up as she turned to Captain Crick and said, "Crick, what do you think?"
Crick thought for a moment and said, "It makes sense. We're not far from Tairuo Star now. As long as we turn around and fly to Tairuo Star, it won't be a problem for us to escape to Tairuo Star with the shield of the spaceship. Even if we suffer some losses, it won't be too serious. At least the safety of the crew can be guaranteed."
Margaret nodded and said, "Turn around immediately and rush to Tairuo Star at the fastest speed."
Crick nodded and turned to look at Zhao Hai. Then he immediately gave the order to turn around. Because the spaceship wasn't big, although it wasn't as simple as a person turning around, it wasn't very difficult. After turning around, it immediately turned around and headed towards Tairuo Star.
The movement of the spaceship really caught the people who wanted to attack it off guard. They didn't expect the spaceship to turn around, so they didn't react for a while.
When they wanted to attack the spaceship, it had already flown far away. Although these people could fly in the universe, their speed couldn't be compared to the spaceship. The reason why they could follow the spaceship before was because they were waiting on the path that the spaceship had to pass by. Just like those people on the train, they couldn't run as fast as the train, but when they ran with all their strength, they could still keep up with the train for a short distance. These people were in such a situation now.
But now that the airship suddenly made a turn, these people couldn't keep up. Additionally, the airship's shield wasn't just for decoration, it was an evolution of the Magic Formation Technique. It was enough to block the attacks of 5th rank Mages. Because of this, the attacks of the Mages didn't have any effect on the airship. Although most of the airship's energy was used for flight, the airship still had a layer of armor. With a shield and armor, it wouldn't be a problem for the airship to block the attacks of the Mages and Warriors.
But now Zhao Hai and Margaret didn't think so. After the spaceship made a turn, Crick immediately shouted, "The reactor is 100% activated. 80% of the energy is in the thrusters and 20% of the energy is in the shield."
At this moment, the spaceship's hull shook a few times. Then a staff member immediately said, "Captain, the fifth, seventh, and eleventh cabins have cracks in them. The pressure is changing." With his voice, the speed of the spaceship slowly decreased.
Crick calmly said, "Close the emergency doors outside the fifth, seventh, and eleventh cabins. We don't want those three cabins. Fly back to Tairuo Star at full speed!"
Following Crick's words, the speed of the spaceship sped up again, leaving the magicians and warriors far behind.
