Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 583 Chase and Fight
"Tick... tick..." The instrument's prompt sound is steady and cold.

The bright and clean laboratory was very quiet. In the center, on a bed that looked like an operating table, lay a young girl. On her wrists were several thin nerve sensory wires, and above her head, six probes maintained a rotating silver-blue crystal. The shape of the crystal kept changing, sometimes shrinking into a cube, and sometimes growing and extending like a crystal cluster.

With a slight sound of ice cracking, the crystal instantly took shape, forming a transparent cube like glass, but the inside seemed to be a little different. When the light passed through it, a slight distortion could be felt.

Soon, the girl on the bed opened her eyes, looked at the crystal above her head, then stretched out her hand and let the crystal rest in her palm. She sat up and sensed and observed it carefully.

"It seems that this method is feasible, but the magic power required is also very special." The girl thought.

According to her previous idea, if she could only provide the trigger and supply magic power in other ways to tear apart and create a large space, this approach would work.

What she holds in her hand now is a subspace seed. As long as she inputs magic power to activate it, she can tear the space apart in a short period of time and form a secondary subspace.

However, at present, it is only a possibility to verify. There is still a long way to go in terms of magic power conversion supply, stabilizing the process flow, improving safety measures, and reducing energy consumption and material losses.

Tilan jumped down from the bed lightly, walked out of the laboratory, and then came to the hall nearby. Many scientific research and technical personnel of "Gray Dust Crystal" had gathered here, including several masters of Sequence 7.

"According to our calculations, Miss Tilan, the energy efficiency ratio of your extraordinary spatial abilities is very special." A professor with gray hair and glasses looked excited, as if he had seen some treasure.

For ordinary extraordinary people, even if they are good at spatial abilities, it is not only troublesome but also consumes a lot of energy to use them. Therefore, they rarely use this as a means of attack and usually use it as an auxiliary. But on Tilan's side, only one thousandth of the consumption of others is needed to achieve the same or even better effect. It is no wonder that the professor was excited.

If such ability can be popularized, it would be a groundbreaking development, because there are so many places where spatial ability can be used.

"Thank you. Let's discuss this next time." Tilan was now surrounded by several enthusiastic researchers. She had to raise her hands and wave them to indicate that she was a little tired and hoped to talk about it later.

These researchers were so persistent that it seemed as if they wanted to dissect her. Tilan felt a little scared.

Fortunately, her identity was not ordinary, and after she made it clear, these people had to control their emotions and stay where they were.

In the following time, Tilan basically stayed in the Gray Dust Crystal. In addition to paying attention to the progress of the subspace project, she also took advantage of the rare opportunity to learn some knowledge of potion preparation and crystal making. By the time she learned about the shocking changes within the Federation, it was already several months later.

……

On May 5, the starship that Blanche was on crossed the central star field. Although a lot of preparations had been made along the way, such as bypassing the mainstream routes and avoiding the Federation's detection sites, the matter was eventually exposed.

After the accompanying members of the Inquisition did not respond to any messages for three consecutive hours, the Inquisition headquarters in the central star field issued an emergency notice, began a full network search for information about the missing starship, and informed all route command centers to conduct strict inspections and carry out a certain degree of control.

About 6 hours later, the Federation's most advanced and fastest 'Light Tracking Wing Class' superluminal starship arrived at the last release location of the missing signal, and began to track the target's whereabouts based on the remaining traces in space.

Twelve hours later, all the trans-dimensional routes in the central star region were declared suspended, and the three patrol fleets began to block various key waterways.

There are many ways to travel at superluminal speed. If you jump through the Sea of ​​Aigaka, you need a clear space beacon. Otherwise, after entering the high-dimensional space of the Sea of ​​Aigaka, you can only rely on luck to get out again. If the space at the landing location is disordered, the entire starship is in danger of being torn and distorted.

During war, space disruptors would be deployed in each star field to prevent the enemy from using jumps to raid the rear.

Secondly, in addition to using the Sea of ​​Aegerka jump to travel at superluminal speed, another common method is the curvature engine. Although it is not fast, it is much safer. Even in wartime, it can avoid various interferences and obstructions and continue to approach the destination.

The Polarized Crystal Star Region is located in the northwest of the central star region. It is also a relatively remote star region with fewer shipping lanes.

As the order of the Central Council was issued, the star port here was temporarily suspended. Many tourists were stranded here, sitting in the lobby complaining and grumbling. When many people were discussing what had happened that the star port had been suspended, a cry of surprise came from near the window.

Through the transparent glass and metal curtain wall about 20 meters high, some passengers saw several spots of light flashing in the space, and even fighter planes cruising, emitting some spots of light from time to time. This was definitely a situation of exchange of fire.

"Is there a war?" Many people couldn't believe it. The complaining mood they had originally had suddenly disappeared and they became curious, nervous and uneasy.

Thousands of kilometers outside the star port, a starship was speeding past, and around it were five white-winged, blue-edged space-time fighters constantly circling.

The Federation's 'Messenger' class fighter jets can conduct short-distance trans-time and space travel. They have average combat capabilities and no special strengths, but are very suitable for performing complex and diverse tasks on the second and third lines. They are also standard equipment for starports in all Federation star regions and are under starport control.

When the starship was about to arrive at the starport, it temporarily changed direction and headed into space. This alerted the starport control center, and they began to communicate on the communication channel and asked the other party to stop for inspection.

Unexpectedly, not only did this dialogue fail to produce any results, the starship also accelerated its preparations to enter curvature navigation. Upon seeing this, the starport urgently dispatched fighter jets to intercept it, and by launching jamming and blocking missiles, it prevented the other party from entering the state of curvature navigation, temporarily trapping the starship.

[Warning, warning, we have been locked by the enemy's fire control...]
Inside the starship, sharp warnings sounded and red lights flashed.

In the command center inside the bridge, many technicians are urgently adjusting the various modules of the starship to prevent the starship from being paralyzed in space.

"What should we do? There are no space weapons on this starship. We can only passively take the attack. If time goes on too long, the nearby patrol fleet will arrive and we won't be able to escape." Several young officers were very anxious.

"Quiet!" Yad roared, calming the bridge temporarily, but the sharp alarm sound still did not stop.

"Support will arrive soon. The most important thing at this moment is to delay time. The starport in the Polaris Star Region may not know the truth. As long as we don't act like vicious pirates, they said they won't destroy the starship."

"Now, shut down the hyperspace engine and send a signal to indicate that we are willing to accept inspection. There are still thousands of kilometers from here to the star port. Even if they send people on board, it will take a lot of time to prepare." Yad analyzed calmly.

At this point, everyone in the starship calmed down, and in the cabin at the bottom of the starship, a special escape ship was placed there, guarded by many soldiers around it.

"If the situation is really critical, let Lady Blanche eject on this ship. The shield generator installed on it can protect her from explosions and jets."

The officers and religious members on the side were negotiating.

"Is this the only escape ship?" The cult members were puzzled.

"There are three ships, but this one is special. Considering the high risk of the operation, we have specially prepared a lot of expensive accessories to enhance its protection and escape capabilities." Maybe most of the people on the ship will die, but Blanche must be alive. This is the idea of ​​many soldiers in the operation.

"I hope it doesn't come to this." In response to this, the members of the cult sighed.

In space, the five space fighters saw that the starship was slowly slowing down and its superluminal engine was gradually shutting down. They stopped attacking and continued to warn it to stay where it was and be inspected.

Time passed by tensely, and when the starship stopped, the starport began to dispatch landing teams, and transport ships sailed out of the starport and flew towards the stagnant starship.

An hour later, the transport ship began to dock, sucking and grabbing the starship, and fully armed soldiers began to board.

There was silence inside the starship. The soldiers who entered were divided into six teams and began to check. At first, everything was normal, but when the team approached the power system, a battle suddenly broke out. The ambushed black soldiers opened fire at full power and shot the landing team in the front row in one encounter. Fortunately, the landing team was also cautious enough to quickly set up the shield and retreat urgently to avoid further casualties.

"Report, mission failed! There are still a large number of rebels in the starship. All the landing personnel should be put back into the transport ship and send a signal to the monitoring fighter jets to destroy the power system at the tail of the starship!" Facing the attack, the landing command captain immediately sent a signal and began to retreat.

They are here to take over, not to launch an offensive. If the personnel inside the starship still resist, the consequence will be that the fighter jets outside will continue to attack until the starship is destroyed.

However, the fighter planes cruising outside might not be able to receive his signal. Shortly after the landing team came in, a few faint dots appeared in the space again and then approached at a high speed.

Before the five fighters could even send out a warning signal, several particle beams pierced through the cold space and cut the five fighters into burning pieces.

These light spots are three of the most advanced and fastest "Tracing Light Wing" starships, and the attack was launched by six high-level mechas that popped out of the hatches inside the starships.

As a top-level commercial starship, the 'Tracing Light Wing Class' is expensive, and there are not many of them in the entire western star field. Being able to mobilize three ships in a short period of time this time is already the limit. As for military starships, there are indeed some that are faster than the 'Tracing Light Wing Class', but they all belong to the central main fleet, and are not owned by the various star regions and cruising fleets in the west.

"Are you there yet?" The old man on the starship looked at the projection and data on the screen, feeling a little relieved.

"Commander, the general sent a message telling us that we only have 40 minutes. The pursuit starship from the central star field will arrive soon."

"Got it. 40 minutes. This kid Gain really thinks highly of an old man like me." He once served in the military, but had retired long ago. The personnel on these three starships were also retired veterans. They were urgently mobilized, and together with the personnel originally on the starships, they arrived in the shortest time and carried out the mission.

"Send a message to the people on the opposite starship, and have them launch an escape ship directly to bring Miss Blanche over, and abandon the starship."

"Yes!"

About half an hour later, the escape ship passed through space and headed towards the three "Tracing Light Wing" class starships that had arrived in an emergency. The three starships then turned and headed towards the depths of space.

Not long after they left, a series of light spots appeared in the Polarized Light Star Field. The pursuit fleet from the Central Star Field was finally a few minutes late. After all, they set out late, and the top leaders of the Western Star Field learned the information in advance and rushed to support them.

"Hmph!" The knuckles of his hands crackled and the general of the fleet commanding the pursuit had a look of anger on his face. His body was like steel, straight and cold as the wind.

"This is not an ordinary disappearance. I have said it before, those wolf cubs are impossible to tame." He is a conservative in the central star field and has always been dissatisfied with the frequent rebellions in the western star field.

"Should we continue to chase them now? According to the detection results, they are heading towards the Shark Star Region."

"Catch up with them, and at the same time put the patrol fleets along the way on alert and block the waterway."

"I wonder how long you plan to hide."

In his opinion, these people were just doing useless work. Even if they got the support of a singer, they wouldn't be able to cause any waves. The military strength of the western star regions was already backward, and the patrol fleet was rotated every four years. Most of the fleet commanders were not locals, and it was almost impossible to incite them to rebel. Without the support of the fleet, the ground armed forces were nothing more than a group of underground rats.

The Federation is indeed in turmoil and internal conflicts are frequent, but it is far from the point where the building is about to collapse. It is not something that a weak singer can do to shake this system.

After a brief stop, the pursuit fleet's wake disappeared again in space, a scene seen by many passengers in the starport.

“I can’t believe it.”

“Is this witnessing history?”

"What are the identities of the two parties? Why can't I find any information about them on the Internet?"

"It won't be a civil war, will it?"

"How is this possible? Who has the charisma to start a civil war? Hahaha."

Various discussions arose in the Star Harbor Hall.

……

Two days later, in the western part of the Federation, in the outer space of the Swordnose Shark star field.

Three "Light-Tracing Wing" class starships broke away from the curvature navigation, speeding on the planar orbit of the star system, and rushed towards the inner side of the star system.

About three minutes later, 12 special sword-shaped starships also broke away from the warp navigation, chased the three starships, and began to open the weapons and equipment on the starships.

After two days of pursuit, they closely followed the wake of the three escaping starships, not giving them any chance to stop or transfer, and circled several times in the starry sea. Finally, the three Light Tracking Wing-class ships used the little remaining energy to rush towards the Shark Star Region.

"It's the last fight." The old man on the starship looked at the data on the screen with a serious expression.

"Send out six Xenon Gold-class mechas to stop the enemy. At the same time, contact the support personnel and have them escort Lady Blanche away."

"Yes!"

As the only combat force on the three starships, six blue-plated mechas were launched from the starships and then rushed towards the 12 starships chasing behind.

A dazzling cold blue beam of light lit up from the mecha, connecting to the starship on the opposite side, splashing white sparks and slurry, which was the high-temperature gas and liquid left after the outer armor melted.

The battle suddenly started, and the pursuing starships also began to fight back. Many secondary guns began to fire, chasing the high-speed moving mecha in space. Some of the beams fell on the outer shell of the mecha, emitting blazing spots, but after the shooting, the mecha was intact and the surface was still smooth. This is the characteristic of the "Xenon Gold" class mecha, which can convert energy beam attacks into light energy and heat energy to radiate, greatly reducing the ion shock to the mecha.

But just when everyone was cheering for the performance of the mecha and felt that victory was in sight, the pursuit fleet's axis main guns also aimed at the "Tracing Light Wing" class starship in the distance.

After charging, a beam of light shining like a galaxy appeared in an instant. After being compressed to the extreme, the extremely violent energy burst out with a dazzling torrent of great lethality and rushed towards the distance.

The leading starship was hit directly by two bullets and was broken in half by the beam of light shot out by the Axis main gun. The ship, which was about a kilometer long, burst into violent flames and then split into countless fragments, scattering in space.

This scene made the other starship members tremble in shock. The dazzling flames and light beams fell on the glass windows on the side of the starship, reflecting changing shadows.

"Do not--"

The hopes of the northwestern star regions for nearly a hundred years were destroyed here.
