The astral world was limitless.
Very few people could tell what the astral world represented. It was the gathering place of the consciousness of countless creatures, the ocean of spirit, and the reflection of the universe. But one thing was certain, and that was that the scenery in the astral world was at least much more beautiful than in the universe.
At least in the universe, you could not see the grass floating in the air and the thousand-meter-long waterfalls.
The astral world could also be said to be a large garbage dump. Fangzheng even saw a wizard tower that had been blown up to the point that only half of it remained …. He did not know what happened to its owner.
"I have to remind you, guest, that the road to other worlds is not very easy at present."
Beside Fangzheng, the crystal head was also chattering away as she introduced the place.
"Generally speaking, we would recommend you to go through the Sigil City. As long as you have a suitable key, you can go anywhere from there. But unfortunately, a battle broke out in the Sigil City not long ago. A powerful existence clashed with the Lady of the Sigil City and destroyed half of the city …. The entire Sigil City is currently in a state of lockdown, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering, so we may have to take some detours …. "
"I just hope that this detour won't take too long."
Fangzheng looked at the void in front of him and frowned, but he soon relaxed his expression.
"Well, in short …. Let's have a good rest first, then we'll talk about what to do next."
As soon as Fangzheng's voice faded, everyone immediately dispersed and went to do their own things. Qiong pulled Winter Horse to the balcony outside to look at the scenery. The astral world was not the universe. There was no such thing as a vacuum here. In fact, if you wanted to, you could "swim" to any place you wanted without taking any ship.
By the way, in the astral world, your speed depended on your soul and intelligence.
Simply put, the higher the IQ, the faster you would be.
On the other hand ….
For Illya, Blackie and Atalanta, this place was like their Hawaiian beach. According to Blackie, even if they did nothing but stand here, they could feel the warm spiritual and spiritual aura of the astral wind blowing over. It was as comfortable as basking in the sun on the beach.
So they really ran to the balcony to "bask" in the sun.
"This … is it alright?"
Only Neferine and Codori stayed where they were. After all, they had arrived late and were a bit reserved. Perhaps Nefran was used to being with Fangzheng, but for Codori … she was just not used to the feeling of herding sheep.
"No problem. Iona and the others will be responsible for monitoring the surroundings. They will inform you if anything happens. You can go and rest now. I wonder how long this journey will take. "
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Kedori relaxed a lot and returned to her room to rest. Fangzheng, on the other hand, took out his personal terminal and began to work on a new proposal. Neferine lay on the sofa next to him like a cat and closed her eyes.
Trouble came earlier than he had imagined.
"Reporting, Commander! Objects with unknown spiritual waves are approaching! "
As soon as Iona's voice trailed off, dozens of shimmering figures suddenly appeared in front of them. This was a very strange characteristic because, according to the line of sight, it was impossible for any object to be discovered at such a close distance. There were no signs of teleportation either. It was as if these people had suddenly popped out of the void.
But this was a common occurrence in the astral plane. Here, one's vision could not grasp the direction and space. Only the soul and wisdom could explore the infinite boundary.
Faced with the sudden appearance of these people, the shipgirls reacted quickly. They immediately activated the protective barrier and the Klein force field. The black muzzles of their cannons were aimed at the uninvited guests in front of them. The uninvited guests quickly spread out in an angle that violated the laws of physics and stood in front of them.
At this time, Fangzheng saw the true faces of these uninvited guests.
They were humanoid creatures. They looked similar to humans in appearance, but they had no nose and their ears were triangular. They wore silver-white armour with complicated patterns and carried a huge silver sword on their back.
"Ah, it's the Giths. Looks like we're in trouble."
The crystal head also gave the answer at this time.
"It's them."
Hearing the introduction of the crystal head, Fangzheng frowned. Before coming to the astral plane, he had read a lot of records about the astral plane from the white tower. The Giths were one of them. They were the pirates of the astral plane, the most notorious race. Their favorite thing to do was to plunder the wealth of other creatures to enrich their arsenal.
Now it seemed that they were targeting him.
Fangzheng was looking at the group of Giths, and the other party was also looking at the mysterious metal fleet. They obviously did not show any special expressions of surprise at the appearance of this fleet, which was normal. Although Fangzheng's Pale Blue Fleet was strong, there were many huge astral beasts in the astral plane. Some astral beasts were even the size of a planet. In contrast, this fleet was not so rare.
But even so, they did not relax their vigilance.
"You are blocking the way to our city, traveler."
One of the Giths opened his mouth, and his voice echoed in everyone's ears. This was the unique psionic ability of the Giths, and it was one of their most powerful weapons.
"If you just don't mean it, then change the direction. You have countless choices in the astral plane."
"What should we do?"
At this time, the others also returned to Fangzheng's side, waiting for his decision. Fangzheng pondered for a moment, then glanced at the crystal head.
"What's your opinion?"
"This is the astral plane."
The crystal head gave its own answer.
"Will determines reality, and intuition trumps everything."
Then the answer was very simple.
"We won't give way."
Fangzheng said decisively.
"This is the route of our Pale Blue Fleet. On the contrary, you should get out of the way earlier."
"…"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the Giths did not say much. Soon, everyone saw them turn around and quickly disappear into the void.
"That's … not very good, right?"
After listening to the dialogue between the two sides, Winter Horse pulled Fangzheng's sleeve and whispered.
"They asked us to change the direction, so we can just change the direction. Why should we conflict with them?"
"This time they asked us to change the direction, but next time they will dare to kill us."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"The Giths are bandits of the astral plane. They are not good people. Besides, this is not their territory. Why should we give way?"
"But …"
"It's okay, at most we will fight …"
Fangzheng patted Winter Horse on the shoulder, signaling her to rest assured.
"Just a group of Githyankis. We don't care about them."
Soon, as the fleet continued to move forward, a huge astral fortress appeared in front of them. It looked like a giant fortress made of stone. From a distance, there was nothing on it, no people or creatures. It looked like a dead city.
"They didn't give way."
Seeing this, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows. Then, a golden light flashed from his eyes.
"Attention everyone, fire at will!"
"But the enemy hasn't attacked yet …"
"I saw them attack."
Faced with Codori's question, Fangzheng pointed to his eyes. As a prophet and a Time Dragon, he could easily see what would happen in the future. In fact, Fangzheng had already seen the Giths soldiers lined up neatly on the square, as well as the giant ballistas on the city wall.
In just one more minute, when the fleet entered their range of fire, these guys would immediately open fire.
So … of course, he had to make the first move!
The so-called prophet meant that he knew you were going to attack him, so he had to kill you first!
"Attack!"
Following Fangzheng's order, dozens of beams of light flew out, cutting through the starry sky, and shot towards the fortress in front of them.
Almost at the same time, crossbow bolts suddenly appeared on the opposite side.
The first round of confrontation between the two sides began without warning.
The warships of the Pale Blue Fleet burst out beams of light and hit the outer wall of the fortress, but these beams were quickly blocked by the silver-white psionic barrier that enveloped the entire fortress.
It once again proved that the races that could travel in the astral world were not easy to deal with.
The psionic crossbow bolts shot from the fortress were equally powerful. If they were ordinary crossbow bolts, it would be impossible to penetrate the protection of the fleet. However, these psionic crossbow bolts were different. They were designed and manufactured to be used as powerful weapons against astral beasts. Huge crossbow bolts that looked like they had been shot out from a medieval ballista whizzed past, hitting the Klein force field of the battleship and causing a violent explosion. The surging Void Energy frantically devoured Klein's force field defense, causing ripples to form.
Soon, groups of Githyanki soldiers appeared quickly. They were like a school of fish in the sea, wandering in groups and rushing towards the Pale Blue Fleet. At the same time, the unicorns also activated the destruction mode. Hundreds of unmanned fighter jets burst out in an instant, forming a battle formation and rushing towards the enemy in front of them.
"Haha, sure enough, they're not friendly."
Seeing this, Fangzheng snorted softly. Except for Winter Horse, the others did not speak at this moment. They were not fools. Just from the quick response of the Githyanki, it could be seen that the other party was obviously prepared. It was just that the timing of Fangzheng's attack was a little earlier than them.
Otherwise, they would have been attacked by now.
"Activate the doomsday weapon and blow up this fortress. I'll leave the other enemies to you."
Soon, Fangzheng gave another order.
