Chapter 698: Assaulting A Pirate CrewTL : GoldenLung
Space pirates were not limited to humans, and they were also present in every race, relying on the large-scale application of their implants. Space pirates’ battle power was quite valiant. For warships of the same level, space pirates’ battle power was often higher than Federation warships. Their battle experience was also richer, and they never followed common sense, often using special tactics to make the Federation fleet overwhelmed.
After setting the location to the Third Trading Center, Lan Xuanyu ordered, “Activate stealth mode. Spread the radar’s range to its maximum. Report to me immediately if you find anything.”
A layer of faint light appeared on the surface of the 33 Sky Wings pirate warship. In the next moment, the light around it seemed to be devoured by it and disappeared into the void.
The radar was fully activated, and everyone was excited as they scanned their surroundings. They had entered an unsafe galaxy, and battles could happen at any time. This was the most exciting part for them.
If they could complete the team’s mission and rob a few space pirates at the same time, that would be the most wonderful thing!
The warship flew very quickly and according to Lan Xuanyu’s calculations, they would arrive at their destination in another 24 hours.
Four hours passed and they didn’t encounter anything. The initially excited crowd gradually calmed down. Even if they were in an unsafe region, it didn’t seem like they would easily encounter enemies!
Just as everyone gradually relaxed, Ding Zhuohan, who was in charge of the radar detection, suddenly said, “We found something. In front of us on the left, at 11 o’clock, about 2,000 kilometers away, there are unidentified flying objects, five of them.”
Lan Xuanyu’s spirits were lifted as well. “Be careful and hide.” In space, 2,000 kilometers was a very close distance. They would be able to get close in a few minutes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter a slight pause, Lan Xuanyu said in a low voice, “All weapons and defense systems get ready, the warship stays silent.”
Everyone obeyed his command and immediately underwent a series of operations. The main thrusters of the warship were extinguished and only four secondary thrusters with much lower power were used. This way, the energy fluctuation produced would be smaller and would be harder to detect by the enemy.
After determining the direction of those five unidentified flying objects, the 33 Sky Wings pirate warship slowly flew towards the path that they had to pass.
As they got closer, the radar’s signal became clearer. An image was projected on the large screen.
Five pirate warships.
That’s right, it was definitely pirate warships. On the pitch-black warships, there was a pattern of a white skull. Inside the eye of each skull, there was also a purple flame pattern as though it was burning.
Bai Xiuxiu’s voice came over. “Purple Flame Pirates, a small to medium-sized pirate group. They have no more than 15 warships, and their flagship is a Meteor-class assault warship. The rest are all Remnant-class reconnaissance warships. Their reconnaissance team should be those ones. The Purple Flame Pirates are extremely vicious and have killed many.”
This was the information obtained from examining the other party’s pirate team. There was a database regarding the pirates that was given by the Tang Sect. These things’ value could not be measured.
“Boss, do we fight or not?” Qian Lei turned to Lan Xuanyu excitedly.
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Prepare for battle.”
There was a huge difference between a Remnant-class and a Meteor-class assault warship. Although it was a one against five, they should have an absolute advantage with the Tang Sect’s warship’s advanced technology.
Ding Zhuohan immediately reported, “Other than these five surveillance warships, we didn’t find any other pirate spaceships within a 5,000 kilometer radius.”
“Roger that. Listen to my orders later, I will take control of the main system. Ready the weapon system, charge the main cannon. Zhuoan, report the enemy’s distance.”
“541 kilometers left. In about a minute, we will enter the range of the main cannon.” Ding Zhuohan’s voice trembled slightly due to his excitement. This was his first time engaging in a real space battle!
In fact, other than Lan Xuanyu’s team of seven, it was the first time the others had entered a space battle.
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes. “Main cannon locked onto the opponent’s central warship. Ready the main propeller.”
The entire control room became silent. Everyone was busy with their own work and waiting for Lan Xuanyu’s orders.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu had already put on his helmet as various data gathered in his head. He placed both hands on the control panel on both sides and was prepared to deal with any situation.
“The enemy has entered our firing range.” Ding Zhuohan’s excited voice resounded.
Lan Xuanyu naturally saw it from the main system’s data, but he wasn’t in a rush to give the order to attack. His team, which was in a state of invisibility, had yet to be discovered by the other party, and this was definitely a good opportunity for them.
Annihilating the pirate warship wasn’t their goal. Their goal was to take advantage of the enemy! Destroying the other party would only waste their ammunition and punish evil for good, but there wasn’t any actual benefit. Hence, he didn’t just want to destroy the other party.
As they got closer, any invisible warship would be discovered by the enemy’s radar within a certain range. The Tang Sect’s warship’s invisibility was already quite good.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Fire. Full speed ahead! Fire the main cannon.” Lan Xuanyu shouted and gave the order.
The tail of the 33 Sky Wings pirate warship suddenly spewed out an intense orange-red flame. The warship that was initially moving slowly suddenly accelerated, and at the same time, it dispelled its invisibility state. The main cannon at the front flashed, and a gigantic pillar of light tore through the sky and headed straight for the five enemy warships.
The sudden appearance of the 33 Sky Wings warship was like a monster that appeared out of nowhere. The five pirate ships immediately discovered them.
A white protective barrier bloomed with light from the five pirate ships almost at the same time, then they displayed the actual combat ability of the pirate warships.
The five warships immediately dispersed.
“Boom——” The pirate warship that was locked onto by the main cannon was unable to hide in the end and was bombarded by the huge energy from the main cannon. Its protective barrier was shattered by half in an instant and this Remnant-class reconnaissance warship was flung out horizontally like a toy that was thrown out.
“Fire at full force, ready the capture shells.” Lan Xuanyu controlled the Tang Sect’s warship to increase its speed and charged straight towards the five enemy warships. At the same time, the protective barrier on the 33 Sky Wings pirate warship was activated, a yellow protective barrier that was obviously much thicker than the other party’s.
But to Lan Xuanyu’s surprise, these Purple Fire Pirates did not retaliate but turned around and ran instead. The five pirate spaceships even fled in five different directions without any intention of fighting.
Could a reconnaissance warship not defeat an assault warship? Not necessarily. It depended on the quality of both warships and the strength of their attacks. It also depended on the control ability. But relatively speaking, it was extremely difficult for a reconnaissance warship to break through the protective shield of an assault warship.
These pirate spaceships didn’t have any intention of fighting because they knew very well that their opponents were also pirate spaceships, and once they fought, even if they relied on their advantage in numbers to win in the end, there was a high chance that they would lose a few spaceships. This was definitely not a pirate’s style of fighting, they would never fight to the death with their opponents and only pick on the weak.
They seemed to be used to being ambushed so they didn’t linger and immediately fled.
Obviously, not all pirate warships could escape, but this way, it would be extremely difficult for Lan Xuanyu’s team to wipe out all these pirate warships.
The full-speed of an assault warship was extremely fast. With the Tang Sect’s advanced technology, the speed of this assault warship was at least 30% faster than a Federal warship. It looked more like a pirate warship.
