When the Normandy arrived at the Wandering Galaxy, it was already three days later.
"Pay attention to your surroundings. The asteroid belt is not far ahead."
Staring at the screen in front of him, Sherpard's expression was solemn and dignified.
"I still can't believe we're actually going to this place … Are you sure there's someone here?"
The pilot Clown sighed helplessly as he operated the warship.
"The Wandering Galaxy is already at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. Isn't this a forbidden zone for life? Why would anyone want to live here? "
"No matter what, we have to investigate … Everyone take note, the other party's identity is unknown, his origins are unknown, and …"
"Commander."
But before Sheppard finished her sentence, another person interrupted her.
"The long-range scanner has detected something. An unidentified ship. It looks like a cruiser!"
Sherpard was startled when he heard this.
"Is it those people?"
"It doesn't match any known signal, and it's not the warship signal that the commando fleet obtained before!"
As the Clown spoke, his countenance turned solemn.
"The cruiser is changing its course and is currently on an intercepting route!"
Sherpard was shocked when he heard this.
"They want to attack! Emergency evade! "
"Yes!"
Under Clown's control, the Normandy quickly dodged to the side, but at the same time, a golden beam suddenly shot out from the strange cruiser not far behind them, blasting toward the Normandy. Under the control of the clown, the Normandy barely dodged the attack, but the beam still grazed the edge of the hull.
"Boom!!"
The entire battleship trembled violently. Following that, a burst of electric sparks and flames erupted from within.
"The kinetic energy barrier has disappeared! Hull damage, weapon system malfunctioning …!! "
The clown operated the warship with all his might while reporting loudly.
"Someone put out the fire quickly …"
"Bang! “
Sheppard smashed the glass beside him and took out a fire extinguisher. He sprayed the fire on the control panel as he calmly gave his order.
"Send out a distress signal! Leave the battlefield immediately! “
"I'm working hard, but I don't have enough motivation! It's hard to deviate from the predetermined course … The second strike is coming! "
"Everyone, prepare for the impact!"
At this moment, Sheppard also shouted and hurriedly grabbed the wall beside him, waiting for the moment of the explosion.
However …
Swoosh!
Just as the mysterious cruiser's attack was about to hit the Normandy, a faint blue beam suddenly shot out from a distance and hit the Normandy. The Normandy was instantly enveloped by an oval-shaped energy shield. The mysterious cruiser's attack was like a clay ox entering the sea after hitting the energy shield. There was no reaction.
"What … is this?"
Looking at the strange energy shield, Sheppard was taken aback, while the clown's eyes widened in shock.
"I don't know … It seems to be some kind of energy barrier … It's not our technology, but it completely neutralized the attack!"
"Beep …"
However, at this moment, the display in front of everyone suddenly flashed, and then a girl with white ponytails and red eyes appeared on the screen.
"Hey, hey ~! This is the Pale Blue Fleet's Vampire. Who are you and why are you here? "
"We are the SSV Normandy of the Divine Citadel! We were ordered to come to the Wandering Galaxy to investigate! "
Although Sheppard was puzzled as to why a little girl was contacting him, he immediately replied.
"We were attacked by an unknown warship on the way. Requesting reinforcements."
"Ah … I knew it. No wonder you guys don't look like you're on the same side."
After listening to Sheppard's story, the vampire nodded. Then, she turned around and said, "Sister Rodney, let's do it.
"Big sister Rodney, let's do it. The one behind us doesn't look like a good person."
"— —!"
As soon as the little girl's voice faded, Sheppard suddenly saw a dazzling energy beam emerge from the distant dark universe on the screen and hit the strange cruiser that had attacked the Normandy. Under the bombardment of the energy beam, the cruiser only lasted less than five seconds before it was directly penetrated. It was completely destroyed in an explosion and fire.
"Hiss …"
Seeing this scene, the crew on the Normandy could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. They were not rookies. They naturally knew how powerful a cruiser was. In fact, the Normandy had no chance of winning against such a cruiser. But what they did not expect was that such a cruiser would be penetrated by the opponent in one shot. The cruiser didn't even have a chance to resist.
"The range is about a thousand kilometers … .What terrifying firepower …."
Clown looked at the data displayed on the screen with a sour taste in his mouth. He did not know what to say.
"Okay, it's done."
Watching the cruiser being blown to pieces, the red-eyed girl with double ponytails on the screen also smiled and made a gesture.
"Well then, come over here. Didn't you come to find us? By the way, why did you guys fight? "
"I don't know either …."
Sheppard shook his head and looked at the operator next to him. The operator was also at a loss.
"I don't know what happened either. The cloaking device is operating normally …."
"Cloaking?"
Hearing this, the girl on the screen blinked.
"How are you cloaking? Aren't you all right here? "
"That's not what I meant by cloaking …."
Faced with the girl's ridicule, the operator did not know what to say for a while. In fact, the Normandy certainly could not be truly cloaked. The cloaking system they were talking about referred to a system that could "temporarily" store the heat generated during the spacecraft's operation. Due to the current technology, spaceships in this world relied more on electronic scanning than visual detection. Therefore, by relying solely on electronic scanning, the Normandy could disguise itself as a meteorite or something else to avoid the scanning of other spaceships.
Of course, if this was called cloaking … .it was a kind of cloaking.
"Forget it. Whatever you say."
The white-haired, red-eyed girl obviously did not care about this problem. She just shrugged and said.
"Well then, Leander, please guide them here."
"Okay."
Following this voice, everyone saw a strangely shaped destroyer suddenly appear in the originally empty universe not far from the porthole in front of them, as if it had jumped out of thin air.
Everyone: ….???!!!
At the same time, a soft and elegant voice sounded.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Leander from the Pale Blue Fleet. Please follow my lead …."
"I see …."
Looking at the warship that suddenly appeared in front of them, Shepard let out a long sigh. She finally understood why the white-haired, red-eyed girl was so confused when she heard about cloaking …. It turned out that in the girl's eyes, she was not cloaking at all!!
Shepard had mixed feelings. The Normandy was a combination of the top technology of the Assault and Intergalactic Alliance. No one could match it in terms of detection, scanning, and cloaking. Logically speaking, even if they were attacked, the other party would not have come to their rescue immediately.
From the looks of it, this battleship had been following them ever since the Normandy entered the Wandering Galaxy.
And in an invisible form ….
Sherpard's expression turned serious as he thought of the possibility. She was now sure that this was definitely not the technology of Cyberus, the Assault, or Alisa. Even the most technologically advanced Selaris could not have such a level of technological civilization!
