"What a … huge … spaceship …"
Near the spaceport on the outskirts of Shadow K City, I stared at the black spaceship that had just been assembled and hovered in midair. It could almost be considered a floating city. I could feel the corners of my eyes twitching.
Even though I knew that the Xiling Empire possessed war technology that far surpassed the imagination of the people on Earth, and I had seen static images of the Empire's spaceships, I still felt that my imagination was lacking when I saw the so-called largest medium-sized spaceship, the Faith class.
Was this still a spaceship? This was basically a flying city!
The gigantic spaceship hovered silently near the landing platform. Due to the use of spatial anchoring technology, such a huge machine didn't even emit the slightest buzzing sound as it hovered in midair. Its entire body was in the shape of a long and narrow hexagon. Its overall length was at least ten kilometers, and its widest part was about three kilometers. Every few hundred meters on the body of the spaceship, there was a circular device that emitted a light blue glow. Those were the energy shield generators of the entire spaceship. Beside these circular devices, there were also many diamond-shaped protrusions. These micro-space stabilizers were responsible for protecting the spaceship from disintegration during hyperspace warping. Other than that, the entire spaceship was distributed with all kinds of anti-air cannons and anti-landing devices of all sizes. However, overall, its armed forces didn't seem to be very strong. At the very least, compared to the super lethal weapons that I saw in the static images, which looked like they couldn't wait to be equipped with cannons from head to toe or even the entire spaceship was a huge cannon barrel, this spaceship's offensive power could be said to be weak. Thus, in order to make up for this fellow's lack of firepower, there were many small frigates shuttling around it. However, those frigates that could be considered powerful on their own were like flies in comparison to the Faith class …
Beside me, Sandora introduced the situation of the Faith class to me with a proud tone.
The Faith class has a large living area and entertainment facilities, even equipped with two colony-level EcoSphere. As a non-main combat ship, the Faith class has average armor and speed, and its firepower can only be used for self-defense. However, in contrast to its weak firepower, such a large ship is equipped with an integrated warp avoidance system. Every time this system is activated, the entire ship's non-main equipment will enter a power restriction state for ten minutes, so it can only be used to save lives. The Faith class is a typical large transport ship and can also be used as a colonization ship. Life on it will be very comfortable, but remember, never let the surrounding defense fleet get too far away from you … "The Faith class is a typical large transport ship and can also be used as a colonization ship.

… Awesome, too awesome! Although its firepower wasn't very strong, that was only in comparison to the other main battleships of the Schilling fleet. I was absolutely certain that with this thing, along with its accompanying battle fleet, just one ship would be enough to wipe out all the countries on Earth!
Of course, the prerequisite was that there wouldn't be a hot-blooded, undying, and incredibly lucky guy like the main character of a movie. Because I deeply realized that the so-called main character was a heaven-defying existence that could slay a God with a butcher's knife. Against such a creature, all reasonable settings were nothing but paper tigers …
Actually, I didn't have any intentions of piloting the Schilling fleet to conquer the world.
"Ah Jun." Shallow Shallow suddenly tugged on my sleeve. "If we build three rooms and a living room on top of this, do you think we'll have to change houses every day?"
"… Let's not have three rooms and a living room anymore. Our family has money. Let's tear down the hangar and build a standalone house!"
Immediately, a certain rich missy muttered beside me, "Damn nouveau riche, damn nouveau riche, damn nouveau riche …"
"Lin Xue, are you really going to come along?"
"Of course! If you had tried to persuade me a day earlier, it might have been useful, but now … Hehe, after seeing such a wonderful thing, let me tell you, even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't leave! "
"… You can't be treating this fellow as a toy, my missy? This is a super battleship! And didn't I just give you a space-time sensor? That thing isn't enough for you to play around with? "
"Tsk, tear it down … There's no end to the path of exploration! How can you possibly understand the passion in a researcher's heart? Anyways, I've already asked the old man for leave and told him that I'm going on a vacation with my classmates. This time, no matter what you say, I won't go back … "
Alright, I knew that I wouldn't be able to change the stubborn thoughts of a super follower like Lin Xue with my own abilities. Besides, with a prophet following us, we would be able to save a lot of trouble … Yep, it might even be the opposite …
But half an hour later …
I was now seriously doubting whether bringing Lin Xue along with me was the worst decision I'd ever made in my entire life.
Looking at a certain troublesome amalgamation who was holding a large wrench and walking around the command room, I couldn't help but sigh at how careless this maniac was.
"I say, Missy Lin, do you even know what this place is? The command room of a space-time battleship! Are you intending to tear down the control panel so that you can perish together with us? "
"It's fine, it's fine," Lin Xue was excitedly studying a control panel that projected the image of the entire battleship. She replied without turning her head, "Didn't you say that there are two backup control systems for faith-grade battleships? I'll just tear down one of them …"
… You're really intending to tear down one of them, you crazy lass!
In the end, I could only ignore Lin Xue's vehement protests and ordered two guards to forcefully press this maniac who had been stimulated to the point that she was half-crazy from all the high-tech instruments onto a chair. Then, I tied her up tightly with ropes and gagged her mouth tightly. May God forgive me, other than this method, I couldn't think of any other way to stop Lin Xue from tearing down the battleship …
The control panel of faith-grade battleship was extremely large. Although it was called a "room," it was basically a large hall that was several thousand square meters in size. The entire hall was circular and divided into two levels. In the center of the hall, there was a gigantic holographic projection floating above the ground. This holographic projection was the current situation of the spaceship. Surrounding the holographic projection was a circle of control panels prepared for the spaceship's crew. Including the control panel that Lin Xue almost tore down, there were a total of twenty-two control panels. These control panels didn't look like the control panels of human spaceships, which were filled with buttons that would cause one's retina to cramp. Instead, they were rather simple. This was also in line with the law of technological development. The more advanced, the simpler it would be. Thus, it wasn't hard to imagine that the control panel of this incredibly advanced space-time battleship was just a smooth metal surface with a few crystal prisms placed on it. On these control panels, there were all sorts of holographic projections, including the current state of the spaceship, the surrounding spatial information, the power system, the weapon system, etc … In short, just listening to them once was enough to make my head spin. It was better for me to stay away from them …
On the upper level of the hall, there were three arc-shaped metal balconies. These were the seats for the commanders. Sandora and I were here. Yep, there was also a super troublesome amalgamation of people who were tied up like a dumpling and kept whimpering on the seat.
As the captain of the spaceship, namely myself and Sandora, inserted the two crystal keys that activated the spaceship into a socket on the captain's seat, the command room immediately rang with the sound of a device being activated. Warp, begin!
Dark clouds covered the sky above Dustwallow Swamp. Jaina and her most trusted troops gathered on an island near Theramore, anxiously waiting for "their" arrival.
Jaina's emotions were currently very conflicted. Right now, she had a stronger premonition that the mysterious voice from back then wasn't joking with her. However, this made her even more uneasy because no one knew what the other party's true goal was. She hoped for the arrival of a savior, but she was even more worried about the arrival of another Burning Legion.
If the other party really was another demon army, Jaina felt that she would definitely become the sinner of the entire world — because she had a faint suspicion that the other party had obtained Azeroth's spatial coordinates through a conversation with her. It couldn't be said that her worries were groundless, because this world couldn't bear any more disasters.
"My Lady, should we directly attack later?" A seemingly prestigious old mage came to Jaina's side and asked respectfully.
"Master Victor, you don't have to be so polite," Jaina somewhat unnaturally returned the greeting to the old mage who was much older than her. "Let's wait and see what happens later. The other party probably doesn't have any ill intentions, otherwise they wouldn't have contacted me in advance and even told me where they would be landing. If they really are enemies, I don't think anyone would make such an unwise move."
There was one thing that Jaina didn't say. That was, even if the other party was really an enemy, the warriors under her probably wouldn't be of much use.
The demon army had already appeared on the land of Kalimdor. Just yesterday, her warriors had even fought with a small group of demon troops at the edge of Gray Valley. Although the other party was probably just a single magic servant, it was enough to show the severity of the situation. At this critical moment, if an enemy as powerful as the Burning Legion really appeared directly on Theramore's land — everyone knew what it meant.
But no one had a ninety percent chance of success. Time was too tight. Within a day, even the fastest Night Elf Alliance couldn't arrive in a short time. Jaina could only use her severely lacking soldiers to bet that the other party was really a friend.
