From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 203 Surrender or die
The Free Radical finally found themselves chasing a false target because of the firefight on Amber's side.

At that time, they had approached the position of the inflatable bait, which was more than 2 kilometers away, and Cliffs was preparing for the CIC people to find a way to distinguish the authenticity of the target.

As a result, the ship's detection unit found signs of a large number of exchanges of fire and explosions 17 kilometers away.

In the empty, cold universe, such signs are easy to spot.

And that location was exactly the area where the Yaoguang defense destroyer was deployed.

"Fuck, you really went after the wrong person!"

Cliffs hammered on the armrest of the captain's seat. The feeling of being cheated made him feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, he now very much doubts that the destroyer of Yaoguang Defense will not only be unable to effectively intercept, but will probably be directly 'eaten' by the opponent.

"Helmsman, immediately adjust the course to the area where the battle occurs. Release the power limit of the main propulsion array and activate the maximum speed!"

"Yes, Captain!"

They must complete the maintenance work within a limited time to ensure that the warship can safely turn on the main propulsion array for tactical maneuvers after entering combat range.

The number above, which represents the relative speed to the track point, finally stopped at a speed of 80 kilometers per second after rising continuously.

That was a symbol of the slight deformation of the ship's metal structure under the huge inertia.

The damage control team on standby in the central axis area could even hear some slight 'crunching' sounds.

While they watched the numbers and pointers on the instrument repeatedly test the edge of the red line, they prayed that this old ship, which had been in operation for many years and had been overhauled many times, could hold on.

When this violent turn ended, the Liberty Radical's stern main propulsion array erupted into a burst of blue-white light that was far larger and brighter than usual.

The entire battleship seemed to have been flicked by a 'flick' and rushed out.

"It will take at least half an hour to get into the firefight. I don't know if the people from Yaoguang Defense can hold on."

Immediately afterwards, everyone felt that the battleship was "drifting" in space under the operation of multiple vector nozzles.

After hearing the broadcast, the crew members immediately stuffed the odds and ends around them into temporary storage boxes as quickly as possible, or attached them to the magnetic workbench.

The crew members near the battleship's fusion reactor and main propulsion array stared nervously at the instruments in front of them.

Captain Cliffs looked at the unknown track point on the holographic projection platform, and a bad premonition flashed through his heart.

At the same time that the ship-wide radio sounded, yellow lights symbolizing warnings began to flash in various passages and cabins of the Liberty Radical.

The main thrusters of the Liberty Radical also dimmed at this time. This is the limit of what this old ship can do when the restrictions are lifted.

Cliffs, who was sitting on the captain's seat, was also staring at the virtual screen in front of him.

At this moment, the crew members near the main propulsion array were already busy with a large number of maintenance robots.

If it runs for a few more seconds, the power unit might explode.

At the same time, he pulled out the safety rope from the waist of the spacesuit and linked himself to the built-in hook on the bulkhead.

After hearing Cliffs' order, the helmsman connected to his exclusive ship-wide broadcast line while preparing for an emergency turn.

"Attention all personnel, this ship is about to make an emergency turn."

Naturally, the destroyers of Yaoguang Defense cannot last for such a long time.

Let alone half an hour, they couldn't even last ten minutes.

When the remaining HCP pilots in Gnakuri refused to attack, the destroyer had no way to restrain Amber. After closing the distance to an almost 'personal' distance, the angular speed between Amber's fanatics and the Peregrine-class destroyer has reached a level that makes it difficult for close-in defense weapons to keep up.

Moreover, Amber also chose the path with the least number of weapons that could target him at the same time.

This resulted in that even if one or two high-energy laser beams or charged particle beams hit him, they would be blocked by the body's layered armor and deflection force field.

At the same time, Murat and Louis also set up two shields, one large and one small, and began to set up cannons to clean up the close-defense weapons on the destroyer.

Finally, under the eyes of the two people who were almost fanatical in admiration, Amber drove the Zealot and landed on the front deck of the Peregrine-class destroyer.

Then he aimed the blade of the ship-cutting knife at the bridge.

'Benefiting' from the common design of the Federation's previous generation of naval warships, the bridge of the Peregrine class is not hidden inside the hull like the new generation of warships, but is semi-buried.

This resulted in the plasma blade of the ship-cutting knife being separated from the interior of the bridge by only a layer of laminated armor plate and aluminate glass portholes.

"Surrender or die."

The call that came into the ship through contact communication was heard throughout the ship with the help of Lilith.

Faced with this situation, the captain of the destroyer neatly chose to surrender with the unanimous vote of the entire ship.

Soon, the Ares also maneuvered to the side of the Peregrine Falcon, and then aimed its main gun at the middle of the destroyer's hull, making them completely give up the idea of ​​resistance.

Two assault boats also ejected from the Ares and docked with the Peregrine-class external interface.

When the heavily armed Baninger and a group of 'teaching team' members appeared on the bridge with 20 tall and powerful Roma marines.

The captain of the destroyer almost slapped himself in regret.

He regretted why he couldn't think about it. After the company sent an emergency dispatch request to the ships in the nearby area, he very proactively asked Ying to take over the task.

These Roma, who carry heavy power hammers, chain swords, or have fighting spikes on both arms, and who rarely appear in the human world, are difficult to deal with.

And the 'mysterious forces' that can drive these powerful combat forces are certainly not easy to mess with.
Here, I have to say that these 20 sets of 'MK1' exoskeletons that Eugene Koch temporarily created have indeed made a great contribution.

Because of the existence of these exoskeletons, Roma people who could only wear space suits as spectators on the Ares can also join in the action and become an extremely powerful deterrent.

When Amber and the others packed up the personnel and equipment of Trident Studio and set off for Industry 4, Eugene temporarily took over the task of 'rushing to produce 20 sets of Roma-specific exoskeletons'.

At that time, Amber asked Eugene to start work urgently purely to deal with possible accidents.

This future exoskeleton design master really lived up to Amber’s expectations.

After simply measuring the body data of the furballs on the Ares and obtaining a set of average values, he quickly put together a temporary plan.

Isabel’s father also provided a lot of spare parts for the exoskeleton, plus some materials in stock at Trident Studio.

It is more than enough to make 20 sets of exoskeletons temporarily.

Eugene directly used the Gnaku as his temporary studio. After fixing the machine tools, those enthusiasts who had no pilots and could only be stored in the hangar became the best 'temporary power source'.

The subcritical reactors they carry can easily meet the energy needs of the machine tools without affecting Ares's own energy supply.

Just like that, with the help of skilled workers from Trident Studio and members of the maintenance team.

Eugene delivered the goods to Amber at the same time that Ares arrived at Industry 4.

It also allowed these furballs to participate in the first space gang battle in their lives.
