In the maintenance warehouse of the ragged carrier, Li Yao was performing the final preparations on the Crystal Suit and the Colossus, installing the most suitable magical equipment according to the situation of the battle.
Xiaoming and Wenwen were also adjusting the space shuttles and the spiritual puppets that were suitable for the vacuum battle. In terms of combat style, they were exactly the same as A Boxing Champion.
"Dad, Xiaoming and I have thought for a long time, but we still want to ask you —"
While adjusting, Wenwen said solemnly, "Is it really appropriate to lie to kids who are no more than ten years old? Or rather, you have decided to embark on the path of the ultimate supervillain, so it doesn't matter how shameless you are? "
"What are you talking about? What is shameless about?"
Li Yao said matter-of-factly, "This is called 'necessary modesty', alright? In front of the kids, I can only say that I am a 'minor, insignificant hero'. Am I supposed to tell them the truth and tell them that I am a super, invincible hero who saves the world as if it were a meal? That sounds a little too arrogant! "
Xiaoming: "… Nobody is talking about that! We're talking about Boss Bai. He's a good man, a hero, a warm-hearted man, and he's willing to lend a helping hand! "
"Well, about that?"
Li Yao chuckled and said, "Well, it's not exactly a lie. In fact, there are not so many natural-born good guys and bad guys. It's just the environment that forces them to be good guys and bad guys. That's all.
"Boss Bai might not have been a good guy in the past, but if I push him from behind and even kick him in the ass, who knows if he won't be kicked to the side of the good guys?
"Do you know? On many occasions, being a good guy can be very enjoyable. Maybe it's hard to be a good guy at the beginning, but before you know it, you will be addicted to it and can't stop yourself. Hahahaha!
"Right, let's talk about that later. Just now, Long Yangjun proposed that we split into two teams. What do you think? Are you going with me or with her?"
Xiaoming and Wenwen looked at each other thoughtfully.
"Let's go with Aunt Long."
Wenwen said in a low voice, "After all, this is the first time that we've officially shown up on a space battlefield. The first impression is very important. We have to try to leave a good impression on most human beings."
"That's fine too. You guys follow her. Be careful!"
Li Yao filled the crystal processor with fuel and installed it. Then, he suddenly felt that something was not right. "Wait. What do you mean by 'good impression'? Why can you leave a good impression when you're with Long Yangjun but not when you're with me? What's the meaning of this! "
He was about to ask further when the two little fellows were already carried away by more than ten spiritual puppets.
"Dad, there's no time. If you have anything to say, say it after the fight!"
The two little fellows crawled into the space shuttles that had been installed with the super crystal processors and the spiritual towers of the highest level and were enough to become "hotspots" on the Spiritual Nexus. Surrounded by countless spiritual puppets, they flew out of the carrier without looking back and returned with Long Yangjun.
"What unadorable kids."
Li Yao mumbled and stored the Colossus into his Cosmos Ring. Then, he left the carrier through the double airtight gates and invaded the heated space battlefield. "The situation is not good. Then, I'll finish the battle in three minutes and talk to Boss Bai later!"
At this moment, the situation was indeed unfavorable for the space pirates and the Cultivators of the Federation.
The Big Bai Pirate Gang and the Cultivators' fleet had just been through a fierce battle. They had no time to replenish the fuel and ammunition that they had lost. The starships that were riddled with holes hadn't been repaired yet, either. It was not hard to imagine how loose and weak the siege formation was under such circumstances.
However weak the Flying Rainbow Fleet was, they were the local forces at the edge of the Imperium after all. Also, they had just been upgraded with a batch of powerful starships. They had their own tusks and claws, too.
They had condensed the starships into the most compact battle formation and achieved a density of firepower three to five times that of the Big Bai Pirate Gang in the unit space. Soon after the battle began, the Big Bai Pirate Gang's siege was already about to be torn apart.
"Boss, we can't keep fighting like this. Let's change the battle formation!"
On Alloy Virus, Xiao Lishui, the loyal Chief of Staff, suggested again, "If we keep fighting like this, our siege will be completely torn apart by the Flying Rainbow Fleet in less than half an hour. The whole battle formation will collapse!
"The enemy has even begun to scan the core of our information streams and are about to lock onto our flagship!
"With the enemy's dense firepower right now, it is possible that even Alloy Virus will be blown up when they attack our flagship!"
"What's the hurry?"
Even though the flagship was taking the enemy's barrage, Boss Bai was still as calm as before. He crossed his fingers and said, "Let's wait a little longer."
"What are we waiting for?"
Xiao Lishui was anxious. "It will be too late if we don't change the battle formation now!"
"Let's wait until —"
Boss Bai glanced at Xiao Lishui and then stared at the few seemingly plain light spots on the light beam that represented the ragged carriers. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Until Li Yao finishes his trick. In any case, it's the same as last time. We can only believe that the asshole can bring new miracles!"
More than eight hundred kilometers away from Alloy Virus, on "Stainless Mouse", the super arsenal warship of the Big Bai Pirate Gang with the most powerful firepower …
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Han Te was also distributing the firepower in a hurry, venting the power of destruction as well as his roars. "Too many! Too many! Why are there so many enemy warships in front of us? We can't attack them at all!
"Why did Boss Bai establish such a weird siege battle formation? Does he think that he can blow up so many enemy warships with the help of Young Master Han Te, the future 'King of Cannon'?
"He thinks too highly of me, doesn't he?
"Yes, yes, yes, yes. That must be it. Hehehehe. If Boss Bai thinks so highly of me, I will certainly not disappoint him. Come on. Let the storm be even fiercer. Even if there are ten times more enemy warships, I will blow you into smithereens one after another!"
On the other side of the battlefield, on "Iron Fist", the flagship of Starlight, A Boxing Champion's computational ability had reached the maximum, too. The hundred array of super crystal processors that formed his main brain were squeaking now and then, with smoke popping up.
Liu Li manipulated the maintenance interface of the array of crystal processors in a hurry and activated the ventilation and cooling rune arrays to lower the temperature of the Fist King's main brain. She exclaimed now and then.
"Master A Boxing Champion, you can't do that!
"Stop improving the trajectory calculation of your shooting accuracy. If you do, your No. 17 crystal processor in the left area will explode in twenty seconds, and you will lose an additional 0.9% of your computational ability!
"What are you doing exactly? The battle has just begun, and you are already exhausting your computational ability without leaving any room for yourself. What are you going to do later?"
Seeing that A Boxing Champion did not cherish his own brain at all, Coloured Glaze was so angry that she almost hit his iron skull hard.
"Don't worry, Miss Coloured Glaze."
A Boxing Champion controlled a common spiritual puppet to stand next to Coloured Glaze as the main carrier of his daily activities. In the broadcast rune arrays that he had specially adjusted, a low and gentle voice was heard. "The reinforcements will be here very soon. It doesn't matter even if your computational ability is exhausted. As long as you persist until the moment, and then … just watch his performance in silence."
"Huh?"
Coloured Glaze was dazed. She looked at the burning stars on the virtual light beam and asked, "What kind of reinforcements can resist the high-speed dash of an entire fleet?"
At the center of the battlefield, with the flagship as the core, the elite troops of the Flying Rainbow Fleet had indeed accelerated to the highest speed and were about to crash into the area where the information streams of the Big Bai Pirate Gang were densest, which was also where Alloy Virus, the flagship, was located.
It seemed that the relatively sparse firepower around Alloy Virus was indeed not enough to stop the torrent of the Flying Rainbow Fleet. If anything, the torrent might disperse the flagship and the support starships around.
On the bridge of the flagship of the Flying Rainbow Fleet, gloating laughter was already echoing nonstop.
"Those great nobles who have been living a comfortable life are all empty shells. They do not know how to fight at all. How can they make such a weird battle formation and disperse after a single clash?"
"In a battle, all those great nobles need to do is to talk. Don't they have to count on us when it comes to blood and sweat?"
"They must've just had a fierce battle with the garrison of the Blue Sky Market and occupied the Blue Sky Market not long ago. That's why their starships are damaged, their fuel is insufficient, and their spiritual shields cannot be activated to the maximum. Under such circumstances, they are still trying to fight their 'allies'? What are those great nobles thinking exactly? "
"It doesn't matter. After their siege is broken and they are completely separated, we will know what they are up to exactly. We are in the right in the conflict this time, and we have won such a neat victory. We are not scared even if the four Kurfürsten report it to them!"
"Let's go! Let's go!"
The flagship of the Flying Rainbow Fleet was moving faster and faster.
But only three seconds later, the laughter was interrupted by stammering exclamations.
"R-Report! An unusually intense high-energy reaction has been detected. It — it is blocking our fleet's march precisely!"
…
In the vast sea of stars, on the burning battlefield, and the boundless, brilliant stars were all eclipsed by the fire of destruction that human beings raised with wisdom and hatred.
In the place where the destructive barrage was densest, and right before the Flying Rainbow Fleet, Li Yao, wearing only a thin Crystal Suit, opened his hands and floated in the scorching vacuum quietly, staring at the hundreds of main-force warships that were approaching like shooting stars not far away and enlarging quickly.
"One last confirmation —"
Li Yao asked Xiaoming and Wenwen in the communication channel, "According to the intelligence that you collected after hacking the flagship of the Flying Rainbow Fleet, the captive captives are not locked in the flagship, are they?"
"No."
Xiaoming and Wenwen said, "The flagship is of paramount importance and is seriously short of space. Naturally, the unimportant captives will not be locked in such an important place."
"That's good."
Li Yao said, "Then, your work to hack, crack, and copy the battle network of the Flying Rainbow Fleet is about done, isn't it? I'm not asking you to establish a second 'command center of the Flying Rainbow Fleet', as long as you disrupt the enemy's multi-level cooperative command chain as much as possible after I … succeed.
"To put it more simply, once I chop off the heads of the Flying Rainbow Fleet, I don't want them to grow a second head. Can you do that?"
"Rest assured, Dad."
Xiaoming and Wenwen said delightedly, "Haven't we been fighting the Flying Rainbow Fleet for so long to buy time to completely hack their battle network and plant all kinds of 'viruses' and 'bombs'? Everything will be taken care of! "
"Understood."
