Witch Punk 2840

Chapter 237 Escape
Many people saw this scene through the sky survey, including the 72 helmsmen of the Starship Fleet, but among all of them, I was the only one who reacted immediately. What we should do most at this moment——

run!
I immediately issued an order requiring all starships to immediately leave the cruising state and escape in a direction away from the Witch King at maximum acceleration.

As the chief helmsman of the fleet, I have the authority to directly issue orders to each starship beyond the helmsman, and the entire fleet has indeed carried out my orders.But then, the shadows of these helmsmen appeared one after another on the communication array, and some people began to ask me if I was overreacting.

"The heads of the Witch King are indeed dying, but there are thousands of them in total, and less than one percent of them have been destroyed now. Since it is a battle, there will naturally be damage to each other, and we cannot see the enemy's condition. Maybe the other party's damage will be greater?" someone said.

But my opinion is: "Because we cannot observe the enemy, we can only guess the worst possibility. If it is an enemy that even the Witch King cannot defeat, then our best strategy is to escape." The further away, the better; if the Witch King finally defeats the opponent, our escape will not cause any losses, unless you are worried that it will destroy the Witch King's trust in our race - but even so, there is no need to worry about this issue It’s not you, it’s me. Aren’t many of you accusing me of becoming the Queen of Witches’ concubine? Why do I act more indecisive now than the concubine I am?”

Perhaps it was the last two sentences that worked, and no one raised any objections.The fleet quickly accelerated to the speed of light, which was its limit.

Behind me, the battle of the Witch King is still going on. At my request, the helmsmen are discussing the hiding place of the fleet. No one will disturb me for the time being. I can finally lock myself in my room and arrange the layout. Take out the egg from the heavily restricted jade box - the egg I laid for the King of Witches.

The moment he held the egg in his arms, all the suppressed emotions suddenly surged into his heart.I am the chief helmsman of the Starship Fleet and the Sword Emperor of all the people of the universe. My decisions must be as cold and decisive as my sword. But this does not mean that I have no emotions. It is just that I have never thought about it, and I have not even thought about it until now. I can understand why - I would have such feelings for a foreigner whom I had only met for three days.

However, it does exist.

I once deceived myself and denied it in my heart. For example, I obeyed the Witch King only out of political considerations, and for example, I actually had selfish motives, hoping to gain the power of the Witch King through this method, so as to be better at swordsmanship. Further... I've come up with many reasons to try and convince myself, but none of them explain one thing.

——Why, at this moment, am I crying?

Yes... At that time, I was holding the egg I laid and looking at the images from the sky survey. I cried like a useless little girl.

In the image, the Witch King's heads are still extinguishing one by one, even faster than before.Every time one disappeared, my heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp sword.

I already know that I made a right decision, but I wish it was wrong. I even comfort myself with the words of the helmsman in my heart - who knows what the enemy is like?Maybe it's worse than the Witch King's condition?

However, there is no such thing as luck.

The thousands of stars-like heads of the Witch King were all extinguished after seven days, and even her body disappeared without a trace.

I held the egg and cried for seven whole days, but strangely... maybe because I gradually accepted the reality, when the Witch King truly fell on the seventh day, I stopped crying.

Is this why the Queen of Witches asked me to lay eggs for her?I looked at the egg in my arms and thought silently.We must protect His eggs, because this is the meaning of the witch keeping us away from the battlefield and allowing us to survive to this day.

My heart gradually cooled down, getting colder and colder, cold enough to make scabs form on wounds, and cold enough to freeze those water-soft emotions, freezing them harder than the edge of a sword.I carefully put the egg back into the jade box, turned around and walked out of the room.

I wanted to convene a helmsman meeting, but I didn't expect that all the helmsmen were already waiting outside - not phantoms, but their real bodies.As soon as they saw me appear, everyone bowed their fingers to their chests and saluted me.

The helmsman of the council took a step forward, bowed and said: "Master Chief Helmsman, thanks to your wise decision, the fleet escaped disaster. Now, no one among the helmsmen dares to question you at all. You The point pointed by the sword's edge is the direction in which the fleet is heading."

I was still a little dazed. The fall of the Witch King was indeed what I said, and it was expected that they would surrender because of it. But what happened to the so-called "saving the fleet from disaster"?

Fortunately, I didn’t need to ask any more questions, as the helmsman had already started to explain.Only then did I learn that shortly after the death of the Witch King, the sky survey instrument observed hundreds of Star Evils suddenly descending around the battlefield. They were divided into sixteen teams and pursued in all directions at extremely fast speeds.

The location where a group of Star Evils appeared was very close to the location where the Star Fleet was before escaping. If it hadn't been for my decision, our fleet would have been overtaken by the enemy before it could accelerate to its maximum speed.

The helmsman added: Although the number of each batch of Star Evils is not large, they are huge in size. The smallest one among them is more than two thousand miles long. If we are overtaken by the opponent, even if we can win, we will definitely lose. It's terrible. When we fall, the rest of the evil planets will come after us and we will have no chance of survival.

After listening to the instructions from the rudder head, I discovered a problem.

"Are you sure these star evildoers appeared suddenly, and apart from these hundreds, no others appeared?" I asked.

"That's true." The helmsman replied, "The sky survey instrument scanned the star field within a million light-years several times, and only found these hundreds of stars."

After thinking for a while, I expressed my speculation: "Neither we nor the witches have been able to understand the survival mechanism of star evil, because they do not have any internal structure at all. Now it seems that they have no internal structure at all." It is not something in this universe, so it is completely beyond the scope of our understanding.

"And these messengers of star evil should be some kind of existence higher than our universe. He throws star evil into our universe, just like we throw bugs into a bottle. The Witch King tried to challenge the other party, but because of this And unfortunately died.

"But the opponent is by no means unscathed. Otherwise, there cannot be only a few hundred Star Evils chasing around at this moment, but there should be millions, or even tens of billions! Moreover, the opponent has been investing Star Evils for a long time. There must be some kind of intention in this universe, but it was restrained by the witch. Now that the king of witches has fallen, the other party has stopped. It's probably because he doesn't want to, but he really can't."

Everyone thinks it makes sense - at this time, even if there are people who think my analysis is unreasonable, they won't show it.The helmsman, on behalf of everyone, asked a question that they really cared about:

"Chief Commander, what should we do next?"
