Chapter 553 06.0552: ‘There is an ambush! ’

Driven by the surging engine power, the newly upgraded Epic left the sky above Basol and headed towards Zhendan along the central safety zone of the Imperial Navy control area.

However, Sister Arabella encountered a problem - she was surprised to find that her power of faith could not be used on Farida.

After Horatio explained to her the truth that Farida was an untouchable, this made the nun distressed - this meant that she would not be able to safely protect the captain's wife in the void.

Fortunately, Father Lati's looting-like unauthorized action helped a lot.

Since Farida was an untouchable and could not accept the protection of the power of faith.

Therefore, Farida's special bedroom was decorated with a complete set of equipment that Lati had taken back from the ground protection facility in Basol before the extermination order.

This is a ‘high-tech’ product used by the aliens for socialized care of infants and young children. This set of equipment is a special version specially provided by the Tau Empire to help humans in the reproductive period to care for their fetuses while sailing in the void and reduce the impact of void sailing.

Based on the principle of making the best use of everything, Lati deliberately went down to search in the short time since arriving at Basor, and moved everything that was worth moving onto the larger and longer Epic.

In the void, the sea trial of the Epic was carried out very rigorously, from cruising at various speeds to testing the maximum shadow field effective speed, as well as a series of risky tests such as the normal operation of the void shield and the engine group overload to maintain the void shield, and even overload.

Everyone was highly nervous, and all procedures were strictly carried out in accordance with wartime regulations.

This operation continued until twelve hours later, when the Epic met the E-110 attack ship on the voyage. It was an attack ship rescued by Horatio and her team. She had been re-equipped and was preparing to sail again.

When the E-110 attack ship fired a salute in the direction of the Epic, Horatio ordered the lifting of the first-level combat alert, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief exhausted.

"David Betty, it's your turn on the duty schedule. Keep an eye on the auspicious radar. I have to take a shower. God, this is as tiring as ambushing another convoy." After arranging the necessary shifts, Harvey walked down the observation platform.

"Got it. I'm also very sleepy. I really hope these three hours will pass quickly."

Although David Betty was reluctant, he walked up to the observation platform without hesitation, picked up the telescope and looked into the distance.

This is a boring job that requires concentration. The content is simple and boring, but it is an important part of naval navigation-it will determine how the warship will meet the enemy in an encounter, and whether it will attack first or be beaten later in the battle.

While playing casually, he suddenly saw a suspicious blue light in the cloud. The blue light lasted for a short time, so he wondered if he was tired and dizzy after a long sea trial.

He looked at the reconnaissance and divination console in front of him, which showed that the nearby sea was still calm and there were no waves.

"Hey! Hey! Fideo, look at what that is. There seems to be something there." After thinking for a while, David Betty finally decided to investigate it a little deeper. He lay on the fence and said to the weapons officer Fideo who was passing by below.

"Huh?" The blond young man had the same sleepiness on his face. Hearing David Betty's words, a layer of confusion appeared on his confused face.

He had just fully tested the total control accuracy of two light macro guns under a fire control radar. This was an additional macro gun installed on the ridge of the ship as the ship lengthened by one kilometer, allowing the Bayonet-class Epic to no longer be limited to the role of an assassin - she could use a small force to win a big, continue to play the role of an assassin to carry out torpedo sneak attacks, and escort imperial merchant ships to engage in close-range artillery battles with small enemies commonly seen in the void.

There was no way, for the sake of safety, Fideo still walked up the elevator of the observation platform.

"Fideo, my good classmate, what should I do now? Should I order the alarm to be sounded and the drums to prepare for war?"

"You are the duty officer." Fideo sighed and said to David Betty.

"Oh, I'm not sure. Just in that direction, I seem to have seen something, but I'm not sure." David Betty pointed to the gas cloud where he saw the blue light group.

"Isn't this nothing?" Fideo also used the telescope to zoom in to the maximum magnification and looked at the gas cloud in the distance.

"So, have you decided to sound the alarm and prepare for battle, or do you plan to continue watching?" Fideo asked while looking for the target mentioned by David Betty.

"Uh..." Fideo's words stumped David Betty.

Now everyone has just rested. If he makes a mistake and sounds the drum for battle, and asks all the officers who have just finished their duty to return to their posts and keep the highest mental alert for a long time, and then finds that there is nothing but his eyes are blurry, this will undoubtedly make all the officers on the ship remember him in their hearts. Maybe one day when the duty falls into the hands of one of them, he will be punished again.

If he doesn't sound the drum for battle...

What if there is really something?

[What should I do... exchange my face for the safety of the warship... or, I must have been blurry just now and didn't sound the alarm. ]

Fideo glanced at the classmate who was blushing and tangled unconsciously, and reminded him: "Make a decision quickly, otherwise it will delay military intelligence. You are the duty officer and should be responsible for this."

"Uh!!" David Betty's face was like a boiling pot of water, and steam could come out at any time.

He finally made his own decision, turned around and shouted to the position of the first captain: "Sir! Mr. Collingwood! There is a situation in the direction of 343! Sound the alarm! Beat the drums and prepare for battle!"

The first captain Archie Cuthbert Collingwood, who took over Horatio's duty, saw David Betty dancing on the observation platform and heard his roar.

As the head of the command department and the first mate of the entire ship, he immediately acted according to the process, picked up the sound array device on the central control command release machine, and said in a serious voice: "Combat alert! Combat alert! All personnel are in place! All personnel are in place!"

At the same time, the other hand pulled down the gate of the alarm.

At the same time, the guards standing guard with guns on the bridge rang the golden alarm bell hanging under the protruding part in front of the captain's command throne platform.

Two drummers pulled out their drumsticks and beat the snare drums in front of them.

For a moment, the jingling alarm bells and the long alarms of "squeak-squeak-squeak" that resounded throughout the bridge, mixed with the rapid sound of the snare drums, instantly filled the entire warship.

Horatio had just stepped into the door of the captain's bedroom and took off his captain's coat. As soon as he heard the alarm and the alarm bell, he immediately rushed to the elevator leading to the command bridge with his military uniform.

Three steps in two steps, running and dressing, not caring about his image.

"Where is the enemy?" He asked his first captain while buttoning his shirt in a hurry.

"Direction 343! Captain."

Archie handed the telescope in his hand to Horatio.

"Who found it?"

Horatio took it and pointed the telescope at the 343 azimuth in the direction pointed by the first captain.

"The officer on duty is David Betty."

"It's me!" David Betty walked to Horatio and said with a lack of confidence.

"Are you sure, David Betty?" Horatio looked at the gas cloud and tried to search for anything unusual: "I didn't find any movement."

"I'm sure, Captain. I saw a blue light flash there, but it was very short and disappeared quickly."

"Is it a battleship?"

"I... I don't know."

This ambiguous answer made the first captain Collingwood glare at David Betty fiercely, which made him feel very nervous.

"It flashed by, Captain. I only saw a beam of light."

"Did you see anything, Mr. Fideo?"

"No, Captain."

"Got it." Horatio continued to observe: "You did a good job, David Betty. It's always better to be cautious just in case. Now return to your post."

"Yes, Captain."

"Archie, keep observing. One more person is always good."

"Yes, Captain."

To be on the safe side, Horatio activated the early warning Iron Hand skills such as the Omen Fragment to further expand his risk early warning ability. Even if this would increase the Iron Hand's corruption grid, as a captain, he had to be responsible for his warship.

Through the flow of the gas cloud on the void sand table, he saw the movement of two suspected squadrons in the gas cloud layer.

But unfortunately, this particularly blue light was obviously not a feature of the Imperial warship.

Just as he once again set up the telescope to try to find the position of the lead ship, several bright blue lights flashed in the gas cloud layer.

"It's an ambush! Prepare to attack all ships!!" he shouted.
