Chapter 1445: Chapter 820: Gu Hang Arrives
Alvin’s tactical plan was quite successful.
First, a feint attack was made to draw away a wave of defense forces, then they turned around and, with Shaga’s cooperation, rapidly assaulted the engine control room.
If given a choice, being able to blow up the engines would be the best option.
But planting bombs powerful enough to destroy the starship’s engines requires time, and guarding them to prevent disarmament adds to the difficulty, not to mention limited escape space after the explosion… Overall, it presents certain challenges.
Moreover, a starship’s engines are never just one, and there will be more than just the main engine, particularly at the level of a destroyer.
Shutting them down can certainly affect the entire warship’s power performance, but whether it can actually slow it down enough for the pursuing Alliance Navy to catch up is uncertain.
Of course, if pushed to the extreme, perishing together with this warship’s engine room is also an option.
But for now, it’s not necessary.
They have another task to fulfill.
So, in the engine control room, they merely temporarily shut down the engine’s power output there, then hastily retreated, leaving the arriving defense forces empty-handed.
Certainly, not destroying the ship’s engines and merely shutting them down in the control room is not sufficient. Especially since they did not hold the room; once the enemy quickly reclaimed it, the shut-down engines were swiftly restarted. The entire assault ship, after a brief slowdown, promptly regained speed.
At this moment, the team led by Alvin and Shaga has already made its way to the vicinity of the starship’s energy chamber.
Here, they faced quite strong resistance.
Although only a few battle group veterans guarded there, they were joined by a large number of highly elite and determined Mortal Auxiliary Army units, setting up layers of defenses along the ship’s interior, resisting very steadfastly, making Alvin and his group’s fight quite difficult.
However, Alvin’s real target wasn’t to actually break into the energy chamber.
Shaga had told Alvin clearly before boarding:
“Bring me within 500 meters of the energy chamber, and everything will end.”
And now, the 500-meter distance has been reached.
They are still fighting forward, but not very determinedly, just putting on a show.
As long as no one threatens Shaga, it’s fine. He has already closed his glowing blue eyes, muttering incantations.
However, the threat came quickly nonetheless.
After all, they were facing an experienced battle group with hundreds of years of experience.
In the 3rd minute after they advanced within 500 meters of the energy chamber, Mirorilla’s scarlet cloak finally appeared on the scene.
The sword of the Grand Mentor’s Holy Artifact cleaved open a Pure Fire Brotherhood warrior’s chest in front of Alvin, repelling their assault on the energy chamber once again.
“Your obstinance disgusts me, Alvin.” Mirorilla’s voice came from thirty-six different directions simultaneously, the single eye on the sword guard glowed with a dangerous red light.
Alvin initially ignored him, ordering a retreat, his team compressing their lines towards Shaga’s position.
But this effort was somewhat challenging.
Along with Mirorilla came his entire Blood Oath Guard. They could almost be considered the most elite fully-equipped unit within the battle group, comprising more than thirty warriors equipped with gear of the group’s average highest quality, each at the level of Exemplar or above.
And Mirorilla, as the Grand Mentor equivalent to the Battle Group Leader, was the strongest within the battle group.
Beside him were the group’s Chief Priest and Blood Oath Guard’s flag officer. The strength levels of these two were also tougher than the third company commander Nata, who earlier died at Alvin’s hands.
Among these three, any one of them, Alvin might not be a match for, let alone if they appeared together? Not to mention, there were nearly double the number of Blood Oath trusted aide gathered beside, almost twice compared to his side?
Doomed.
Now it depends on Shaga.
Though, after Shaga closed his eyes, he hasn’t made a sound for several minutes now, causing Alvin to feel slightly uneasy. However, regardless of whether Alvin fully trusted Shaga’s previous words, he can only believe now that Shaga can indeed save them.
He resisted the urge to look towards Shaga, staring directly at Mirorilla, angrily shouting:
“Traitor! You are unworthy of the Oath of Remembrance, you have insulted the Battle Group!”
“Unworthy? Compared to the likes of you, who joined the battle group for merely a few years, never having truly accepted the group’s culture, are Alliance People truly worthy to be part of the battle group?”
Upon hearing Mirorilla’s response, Alvin felt pleased.
Yes, just like that, let’s talk more, throw words at each other.
I am waiting for the time, while you are waiting for your demise!
He retorted, “Of course! We are loyal to humanity, loyal to the Empire, faithful to the Alliance! Whatever culture the battle group holds, this core must not be betrayed. And betraying these…”
“Enough!” Mirorilla cut Alvin off with disgust, “Allowing you to stall for two sentences was my greatest mercy; now, prepare to die…”
Just when Alvin was extremely tense, readying himself for the desperate battle.
The next instant, a vibration beyond sound suddenly tore through all Subspace echoes.
