From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 203 Surrender or Die

The Free Radical finally found themselves chasing a false target because of the firefight on Amber's side.

At that time, they had approached the position of the inflatable bait, which was more than 20,000 kilometers away, and Cliffs was preparing for the CIC people to find a way to distinguish the authenticity of the target.

As a result, the ship's detection unit found signs of a large number of exchanges of fire and explosions 170,000 kilometers away.

In the empty, cold universe, such signs are easy to spot.

And that location was exactly the area where the Yaoguang defense destroyer was deployed.

"Fuck, you really went after the wrong person!"

Cliffs hammered on the armrest of the captain's seat. The feeling of being cheated made him feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, he now very much doubts that the destroyer of Yaoguang Defense will not only be unable to effectively intercept, but will probably be directly 'eaten' by the opponent.

"Helmsman, immediately adjust the course to the area where the battle occurs. Release the power limit of the main propulsion array and activate the maximum speed!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After hearing Cliffs' order, the helmsman connected to his exclusive ship-wide broadcast line while preparing for an emergency turn.

"Attention all personnel, this ship is about to make an emergency turn."

At the same time as the ship-wide radio sounded, yellow lights symbolizing warnings began to flash in various passages and cabins of the Liberty Radical.

After hearing the broadcast, the crew members immediately stuffed the odds and ends around them into temporary storage boxes as quickly as possible, or attached them to the magnetic workbench.

At the same time, he pulled out the safety rope from the waist of the spacesuit and linked himself to the built-in hook on the bulkhead.

Immediately afterwards, everyone felt that the battleship was "drifting" in space under the operation of multiple vector nozzles.

The damage control team on standby in the central axis area could even hear some slight 'crunching' sounds.

That was a symbol of the slight deformation of the ship's metal structure under the huge inertia.

When this violent turn ended, the Freedom Radical's stern main propulsion array erupted into a burst of blue-white light that was far larger and brighter than usual.

The entire battleship rushed out as if it had been flicked by a 'flick'.

The crew members near the battleship's fusion reactor and main propulsion array stared nervously at the instruments in front of them.

While they watched the numbers and pointers on the instrument repeatedly test the edge of the red line, they prayed that this old ship, which had been in operation for many years and had been overhauled many times, could hold on.

Cliffs, who was sitting on the captain's seat, was also staring at the virtual screen in front of him.

The number above, which represents the relative speed to the track point, finally stopped at a speed of 80 kilometers per second after rising continuously.

The main thrusters of the Liberty Radical also dimmed at this time. This was the limit of what this old ship could do when the restrictions were lifted.

If it runs for a few more seconds, the power unit might explode.

At this moment, the crew members near the main propulsion array were already busy with a large number of maintenance robots.

They must complete the maintenance work within a limited time to ensure that the warship can safely turn on the main propulsion array for tactical maneuvers after entering combat range.

Captain Cliffs looked at the unknown track point on the holographic projection platform, and a bad premonition flashed through his heart.

"It will take at least half an hour to get into the firefight. I don't know if the people from Yaoguang Defense can hold on."

Naturally, the destroyers of Yaoguang Defense cannot last for such a long time.

Let alone half an hour, they couldn't even last ten minutes.

When the remaining HCP pilots in Gnakuri refused to attack, the destroyer had no way to restrain Amber.

After closing the distance to an almost 'personal' distance, the angular speed between Amber's fanatics and the Peregrine-class destroyer has reached a level that makes it difficult for close-in defense weapons to keep up.

Moreover, Amber also chose the path with the least number of weapons that could target him at the same time.

This resulted in that even if one or two high-energy laser beams or charged particle beams hit him, they would be blocked by the body's layered armor and deflection force field.

At the same time, Murat and Louis also set up two shields, one large and one small, and began to set up cannons to clean up the close-defense weapons on the destroyer.

Finally, under the eyes of the two people who were almost fanatical in admiration, Amber drove the Zealot and landed on the front deck of the Peregrine-class destroyer.

Then he aimed the blade of the ship-cutting knife at the bridge.

'Benefiting' from the common design of the Federation's previous generation of naval warships, the bridge of the Peregrine class is not hidden inside the hull like the new generation of warships, but is semi-buried.

This resulted in the plasma blade of the ship-cutting knife being separated from the interior of the bridge by only a layer of laminated armor plate and aluminate glass portholes.

"Surrender or die."

The call that came into the ship through contact communication was heard throughout the ship with the help of Lilith.

Faced with this situation, the captain of the destroyer neatly chose to surrender with the unanimous vote of the entire ship's crew.

Soon, the Ares also maneuvered to the side of the Peregrine Falcon, and then aimed its main gun at the middle of the destroyer's hull, making them completely give up the idea of ​​resistance.

Two assault boats also ejected from the Ares and docked with the Peregrine-class external interface.

When the heavily armed Baninger and a group of members of the 'teaching team' appeared on the bridge with 20 tall and powerful Roma marines.

The captain of the destroyer almost slapped himself in regret.

He regretted why he couldn't think straight. After the company sent an emergency dispatch request to the ships in the nearby area, he actively volunteered to take on this task.

These Roma people who rarely appear in the human world, carrying heavy power hammers, chain swords, or fighting spikes installed on both arms, look difficult to deal with.

And the "mysterious forces" that can drive these powerful combat forces must not be easy to mess with.

Here, we have to say that the 20 sets of "MK1" exoskeletons that Eugene Koch made temporarily have indeed made great contributions.

Because of the existence of these exoskeletons, the Roma people who could only wear space suits as spectators on the Ares can also join the action and become an extremely powerful deterrent.

When Amber and others packed up the personnel and equipment of the Trident Studio and set off for Industrial 4, Eugene temporarily took on the task of "rushing to make 20 sets of Roma exoskeletons".

At that time, Amber asked Eugene to start work urgently purely to deal with possible accidents.

This future master of exoskeleton design did not disappoint Amber's expectations.

After simply measuring the body data of the furballs on the Ares and obtaining a set of average values, he quickly came up with a temporary plan.

Isabel's father also provided a lot of spare parts for the exoskeleton, plus some materials in the inventory of the Trident Studio.

It was more than enough to make 20 sets of exoskeletons temporarily.

Eugene directly used the hangar as his temporary studio. After fixing the machine tool, those fanatics who had no drivers and could only be stored in the hangar became the best "temporary power source".

The subcritical reactors they carried could easily meet the energy needs of the machine tool without affecting the energy supply of the Ares itself.

In this way, with the help of the skilled workers of the Trident Studio and the members of the maintenance team.

Eugene delivered the goods to Amber when the Ares arrived at Industrial 4.

It also allowed these furballs to participate in the first space boarding battle in their lives.
