Chapter 532: You Will Regret It
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
The picture on the light beam was rewound to half a minute earlier . After being magnified by ten times, it was somewhat fuzzy .
One could only see four interconnected exhaust flames in the form of helixes that belonged to a carrier that was only one third the size of Red Lightning .
At the beginning, the two starships seemed to be performing the regular docking work . The carrier decelerated at a fixed speed and kept parallel to Red Lightning's route .
But soon, something seemed to be wrong with the power system of the carrier . Its exhaust flames were ten times brighter than before, and it suddenly accelerated!
Red Lightning noticed its abnormality very quickly . A lot of rays of light spurted out and rained upon the carrier .
However, it had missed the best attack range . The carrier had cut inside its defense circle .
At this distance, the carrier was in most cannons' blind spot . The few weapons that could attack it were not able to maximize their damage .
The spiritual shield surrounding the carrier took all the attacks . Some of the attacks that penetrated through the spiritual shield by luck were not enough to deal critical damage .
After a soul-stirring fifteen seconds, the carrier's speed was higher than ever and crashed into Red Lightning brutally!
The point of impact was exactly the engine compartment in the rear of Red Lightning .
Generally speaking, crystal warships all boasted very advanced damage management systems . They rarely exploded even if they collided into anything .
However, the carrier seemed to have been neatly set . It completely broke apart from the rear to the front . The spiritual energy resulting from the explosion congregated into a long needle of flames and penetrated into Red Lightning's engine compartment . The fuel crystals inside the engine compartment were all triggered and detonated!
Judging from the scale of the explosion, the middle to rear parts of Red Lightning near the engine compartment had been burnt to the ground . If Red Lightning was not entirely wrecked already, it would never recover the ability to cruise without major maintenance .
Red Lightning had lost all impetus and become an iron coffin floating in the sea of stars!
"That was not an accident . "
Bai Kaixin came to that conclusion . He kept rewinding the video and concentrated all the computational ability of the crystal processor on it in order to improve the quality of the picture .
Finally, when he reached about fifteen minutes ago, he found the carrier again and two light spots, which snuck out of the carrier without anybody knowing .
Lei Dalu's eyes bulged and gazed at the two light spots . He clicked his tongue and observed, "This feeling is very familiar . I seemed to have seen such a scene from somewhere else . It reminds me of a certain someone…"
Bai Kaixin had rarely smiled, but now he was smiling . "I know exactly whom you are referring to . But I'm more curious about something else . What's the expression on Fengyu Zhong's face right now?"
…
Inside the cockpit of Blood Rain, the light beam turned palely white because of the continuous explosions . Its color was almost identical to what was on Fengyu Zhong's face .
The unparalleled bandit who had scourged the sea of stars for decades watched the replay time and time again emotionlessly . Even his eyebrow was entirely still .
But the bulging and twisting veins on his clenched fists leaked the anger in his mind .
"It was my fault . "
Fengyu Zhong squinted, his cold voice forced out through gritted teeth . "I guessed that our enemies were lurking on Behemoth-19, but I didn't anticipate that they would be so vicious!
"I had thought that the enemies were trying to sneak into my flagship via Behemoth-19 in order to impair my starship or even assassinate me . Therefore, I pretended that I didn't see through their trick . The enemies might've still felt hopeful, but they would be dealt with mercilessly when they reached Red Lightning!
"I didn't know that the enemies would be so insane and decisive! If they could not damage my flagship, they might as well blow off one of my arms!"
The advisor was sweating hard as he said, "Thankfully, General Feng did not give it the chance to come close to the flagship . If it was the flagship that was seriously damaged, we would've had to retreat from the battle as quickly as possible! The enemy was quite malicious . How did he turn an ordinary carrier into such a terrifying giant bomb?
"General Feng, we have just detected that two escape capsules were launched from Behemoth-19 and went in different directions before it was detonated .
"They must be behind the explosion . Should we hunt them down?"
Fengyu Zhong returned to his usual self after the shock of Red Lightning's explosion very quickly . He studied the video and the star map while he calculated all the parameters involved carefully . Half a minute later, he shook his head and said, "That will be unnecessary .
"Think about it . Experts such as Huangpu Shiyi and Su Jiuzhen were on Behemoth-19 . How formidable were our enemies if they could take down such experts without alarming anyone before gaining control over the entire carrier as well as the authentication tokens? They must be at least in the peak of the Building Foundation Stage . Chances are that there was one or even more Core Formation Stage Cultivators .
"To cope with one or even more Core Formation Stage Cultivators, how many people should we send?
"If we send too few, it's very possible that they will become prey instead of predators when they catch up to our enemies, who will slay them effortlessly .
"Therefore, to capture the two escape capsules, we need at least one crystal warship . But right now, they are running in different directions . So, we need two crystal warships for the task .
"It's the worst decision to divide one's troops in a battle . We only have four crystal warships in total . If we send two of them away, how can we expect to annihilate the Great Horn Exo Society?
"I think this is exactly what our enemies want . The detonation of Red Lightning was meant to infuriate me . They were hoping that I would make wrong judgement and change the main direction of attack!
