The Witch's Taste

"Anyway, Klublev is going to use strong tactics. The whole of Garcia will soon be unsafe. Seniors should return to the Forever as soon as possible."

"On this point, I have no way to refute her." Xia Zili sighed, "Zi Ang, it's not that I don't trust your strength, it's just that the memory of the previous life is a severe pain that is hard to touch for everyone. . I was awakened by nightmares several times at night, and the dreams were all..."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Chen Ziang responded helplessly, "Can I go back?"

If he continues to stay here, as the danger inside the urban area increases, the two witches will become increasingly uneasy. In the end, they will just surround him and protect him all day long, unable to do anything.

Chen Ziang originally chose to come to the Garcia sector in person to inspect the actual situation here and prepare for subsequent work, not to hinder the work in turn.

Having said that, if I want to return to the Ever Given, what path should I take?

"This is simple." Xia Zili replied, "Although the Garcia sector does not allow starship human ships to park publicly, our manpower is disguised as ordinary merchant ships. We have just obtained the trade license here, which is perfect for you. and other engineer families who are willing to immigrate."

Mixing in the warehouse of a merchant ship can be regarded as a classic smuggling method for smugglers, and the practice of interstellar trade is to strictly check the customs when entering, but it is much more relaxed when exiting. It does sound very feasible.

However, before the next day, this plan immediately faced the risk of being shelved:

The human starship suspended in space orbit was attacked by an unknown source.

365. Chapter 360: Training, right?

Although everyone is on the surface of Planet Garcia, there are also secret air-ground communication lines that can contact the Forever starship in space.

Chen Ziang didn't understand the specific principle very well. He only knew that if he communicated frequently, there would be a risk of signals being intercepted and monitored by other ground base stations. Therefore, the two parties agreed to communicate only when absolutely necessary.

Therefore, when the message came from the starship, everyone's hearts trembled in unison before carefully checking the content of the message:

At 3 a.m. surface time, the Forever encountered an unknown attack.

The intruders appear to be interstellar pirates.Or to be more precise, a certain chaebol disguised the attack force as interstellar pirates, killed them from a nearby galaxy base, and began a brutal and ruthless siege of the Forever.

Obviously, because the starship humans are still theoretically refugees and have a natural moral advantage, coupled with the terrifying deterrent of several witches, a certain elf chaebol has no plans to start a full-scale war at the moment, so it does not know where to invite these helpless people. Pirates who trace their origin come to attack, serving as a harassment or warning.

If we didn't have the weapons and equipment that we had snatched... and purchased, we could only ask Xia Qingyu to transform into a witch, and destroy all the pirates with lightning speed.

According to the second half of the news, "the military organized effective defense work in a timely manner," indicating that the purchased equipment did come in handy.

However, the number of casualties was not mentioned, which is very worrying.

Everyone quickly rushed to the interstellar trading port on the outskirts of Galapasia. There were many space shuttles heading to the star port, and of course there were also some starships parked here.

When they arrived at the most remote berth, they saw a tall female snow elf, leaning against the landing gear of the starship, puffing away smoke.

Gloria, a former space mercenary who was once employed by the Krublev family, has now switched allegiance to Xia Zili.

The two of them must have known each other in the past life, so she can be considered a trustworthy subordinate.

"How's it going on the starship?" Xia Zili was too lazy to say anything and asked directly.

"Fortunately." Gloria looked calm. "Although there are many in number, they are just pirates after all. They don't even have many powerful ship-based guns. They basically use kinetic energy guns to hit armor."

"What's more troublesome is that many pirates are constantly trying to board the ship, which has caused some small... frights to our residents."

Chen Ziang listened beside him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were a boarding battle, the starship humans would not have any fear. After all, the Gao Tianyuan military was fully organized and fully aboard the ship.

The flaw is the combat capability of the starship itself. Fortunately, the pirates are also weak in this aspect. The main means of attack is only kinetic energy cannons - the Forever is a super giant ship, and the armor thickness has reached an astonishing level. If you want Compared with the power of conventional kinetic energy cannons, it is like a 200-meter concrete wall and pistol bullets. Even if you are hit without counterattack, can you penetrate it?

"Wait a minute." Tsukimiya Suzuna asked, "From your tone, they haven't finished fighting yet?"

"No." Gloria replied, "I think the purpose of the starship is to use this to train troops."

Training?When everyone heard this, they felt incredible at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it was natural.

In the vast universe and galaxy, what could be easier to bully than pirates?You must know that many countries in the fringe star regions do not even have an established space fleet, and they completely rely on private security companies to solve interstellar security problems.

Pirates are the most basic and low-level experience monsters in the fleet leveling system. It is natural for Xia Qingyu to use them to level up the military.

Not to mention, as the temple's research on "self-destructing cursed soldiers" deepens, it is definitely not appropriate to throw all enemies encountered in the future to witches. The strength of the starship human military must be accelerated.

Since the pirates' siege on the Forever was not over yet, Xia Zili and Yuegong Suzuna were not at ease, so they followed Chen Ziang and hid in the secret room of the cargo ship.

After a perfunctory exit inspection by customs officials, the cargo ship quickly obtained a departure permit and identification mark, and took off carrying a large amount of cargo and people in the secret room.

After passing through the atmosphere, we entered the dark and deep universe.

After confirming that it was safe to leave Garcia, the human engineers and family members in other secret rooms also floated out of the secret room and came to the cargo hold to chat casually.

Some of the family members seemed to be in space for the first time, and seemed very excited to be in the weightless environment, floating around and flying around.

The secret room that Chen Ziang and the other three were in was quite special. It was located on the top floor of the warehouse. The outer portholes could see the outer cosmic environment, and the inner portholes could see the engineers chatting. Therefore, everyone was not in a hurry to get out from here and just kept quiet. Waiting for the end of the journey.

Suddenly, the hull of the ship began to tremble subtly.

Chen Ziang stayed on the Forever for a long time, and immediately realized keenly that the cargo ship had increased the engine output to 100%, and the internal stability system could no longer support it.

He hurriedly rushed to the outer porthole and saw the cargo ship sailing directly in front, with the huge silhouette of the Forever emerging in the distance.

In comparison, the surrounding pirate ships are like flies surrounding an elephant, so small that they cannot be seen clearly. Only when the kinetic energy cannon fires, the muzzle of the cannon will light up slightly, making it possible to capture them from a distance. Figures - The number is indeed not ordinary. It seems that 2-3 pirate forces are joining forces to carry out the siege. The distribution of many ships clearly shows three different groups.

If these kinetic energy cannons were used against ordinary merchant ships, they might still have some power, but the thickness of the Forever's armor was not afraid of such an attack at all, so it just relied on defense to survive.

At the same time, many shooting ports were opened on the surface of the armor, and colorful attacks such as high-energy lasers, focused rays, and plasma clusters were continuously poured out. Every time a pirate ship hit a pirate ship, the other party immediately turned into a huge fireball, including the ship. No human bones remain.

Krublev's arms technology is indeed the best in the galaxy!

The vibrations on the deck beneath his feet became more and more violent. It was obvious that the pilot was still controlling the engine output to increase the power, and wanted to pass through the battle zone ahead as quickly as possible and land on the Forever as soon as possible.

Xia Zili calmly approached Chen Ziang in order to deal with any sudden critical situation, while Yuegong Suzuna calmly held on to the wall next to her. The hidden shadow penetrated along her arms and enveloped the entire hull, causing It will not be detected by the pirate fleet's crude radar system.

The engineers in the cargo hold also stopped talking.Although there was no porthole to observe the outside, the violent vibrations of the ship's hull undoubtedly hinted that something wrong was happening.

Chen Ziang even saw a middle-aged woman taking out the pendant, holding it firmly in her hand, and praying to the Father with a pale face... She just didn't know whether the Elf Father would respond to the call of humans.

From an occult perspective, it is better not to respond.

The erratic trembling gradually subsided as the cargo ship sped through the battle zone, slowed down and sent out recognition signals.

Finally, as the space scene outside the porthole was replaced by a large number of metal walls, the entire ship finally got rid of the pirates' firepower and successfully landed inside the Forever.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, heavily armed soldiers with guns and ammunition rushed into the cargo ship and shouted:

"Everyone get down! Put your hands behind your back! Don't move! Otherwise, shoot and kill!"

366. Chapter 361 My sister is very busy

Chen Ziang also did not expect that the first welcome ceremony after the hard-earned human expert Garcia boarded the ship was to have everyone lie down on the ground and undergo an identity check.

Judging from the nervous expressions of these soldiers, it is obvious that they are too weak.After all, this cargo ship had sent out an identification signal early. In theory, the Forever should have already known that it was a friendly force.

Fortunately, Gloria quickly came out of the cockpit and stopped the overly alert soldiers, which relieved the tense atmosphere at the scene.

"These people are too vigilant." Tsukimiya Suzuna also saw the expressions on the opposite side, frowning and said, "It's a bit like we are all under attack."

"After all, this is my first time on the battlefield." Xia Zili sighed and said, "Gao Tianyuan has not experienced war for more than a hundred years. The military generation has been bathed in peace since they were born. Strictly speaking, they are all new recruits. , as long as you are not afraid of fighting and don’t be timid, it’s good to be a little nervous.”

They left the secret room chatting and got off the cargo ship. They happened to meet Izumo Yuki who came after hearing the news and took everyone back to the bridge.

"The current battle situation is relatively stable." On the way, Yuuki Izumo reported, "The pirates' attack is haphazard, and our people are also inexperienced, so we can only say half a dozen things at the tactical level."

"However, the opponent's kinetic cannon was unable to penetrate our ship's armor, so His Highness did not let the fleet in the hangar attack. He just ordered everyone to fight at the firing port."

"Shooting port?" Suzuna Tsukimiya suddenly frowned and asked, "Why don't I remember what shooting port the Forever has?"

"His Highness arranged the modification." Yuki Izumo replied.

"Who allowed her to modify my ship casually!" Tsukimiya Suzuna was furious, feeling like she was being bullied.

What's even more annoying is that in order to modify the hull, you must reach an agreement with the Zeta family inside the hull.The fact that Xia Qingyu was able to transform these shooting ports means that she used some method to subdue these electromagnetic life races that should only obey my orders... Thinking of this, the feeling of being taken away from her beloved things deepened greatly.

Sure enough, if Xia Zili is an existence that can be tolerated temporarily, Xia Qingyu is the bastard I want to kill quickly!

Tsukimiya Suzuna forced her murderous intention and continued to listen to Yuuki Izumo's explanation:

"On the Transient Fleet side, one is that the equipment has not been fully debugged, and the other is that the pilots have not conducted test flights. That is why His Highness ordered a defense line to be deployed in the Forever instead of rashly letting the fleet attack."

"It should indeed be so." Chen Ziang agreed, "What is the public opinion at the social level?"

"After discovering that the kinetic energy cannon could not penetrate the armor, these pirates tried to engage in boarding battles." Yuuki Izumo replied, "The military and security forces have launched an all-out attack. So far, they have repelled 77 boarding battles, with about 200 casualties. .No critical facilities were damaged.”

After hearing the result, Chen Ziang felt relieved.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is a matter of course.

Taking a 2-person military ship as an example, the number of individual troops that can handle boarding operations is about a few hundred people. If a large number of pirates board and attack the ship, there is indeed a possibility of capsizing.

But the permanent population on the Forever mothership is nearly 2000 million, and the military and security forces have tens of thousands of people. Even if all the pirates are put on the ship, they will be immediately besieged to death.

For example, the Forever is like a moving modern city. The pirates can only rob passing ships in the interstellar world. How can they have the courage to invade the surface of a planet and attack a modern city?

After arriving at the bridge, the three of them saw Xia Qingyu sitting in front of the command platform in a daze. Yuki Izumo was beside him and was responsible for commanding various areas, either clearing the boarding enemy troops, repairing damaged areas, or covering the masses. Evacuate, various orders were given in an orderly manner.

Occasionally if there is something that cannot be decided, just go over and whisper in Xia Qingyu's ear and ask, and continue to direct Ruoding after getting the answer.

Looking at the window on the command screen again, it can be seen that the surrounding structures of the Forever have indeed suffered a lot of damage due to the frequent boarding attacks by pirates.

But compared to the terrifyingly huge overall structure, it is nothing to mention.The pirates who boarded the ship, not to mention the residential area, even the outermost armor maintenance area had no time to break through. The military would soon take advantage of the environment to lock the hatch, and then easily kill the turtle in the jar.

Now that the war was still going on, Chen Ziang couldn't ask Xia Qingyu about his past life, so he went back to his room to rest for a while.

His living cabin on the Forever has now been renovated to be quite luxurious. It covers an area of ​​about 200 square meters and has three floors. It has everything from a movie theater to a game room, and even an indoor garden, fountain and aquarium... This Of course it was not Chen Ziang's demand, but Tsukinomiya Suzuna personally decorated it according to her preferences.

My sister Chen Xiaozhu’s rocking chair is located in the center of the indoor garden.She sat quietly in the rocking chair, with her hands clasped in front of her knees, her eyes closed and silent, as if the transfer from Takamagahara's residence to the starship did not cause her much trouble.

Of course, for a blind girl with a closed heart, it seems that where she lives does not matter...

Chen Ziang sat down next to her and recounted his experiences during this period as a habit.

When he was in Takamawahara, he would cook and feed his sister after get off work every day, then help her out for a walk, and talk about what happened throughout the day.

Whether Chen Xiaozhu is willing to listen is another matter. Anyway, my sister has never shown any resistance in this regard, she just never responded.

After talking about the trip to Galapasia, Chen Ziang remembered what happened in his previous life again, sighed and asked:

"Sister, what kind of person do you think Xia Qingyu... is?"

Chen Xiaozhu didn't answer.

"Suzuna said that in order to become a witch in her previous life, she personally planned to send me to my death. I don't know how to deal with this statement, because I have no memory of my previous life at all, and judging from the situation in this life, although Xia Qingyu said so I never show mercy, but it actually helped me a lot, I can’t deny it.”

"Do you think I should ask her about her past life?"

Chen Xiaozhu remained speechless, but stretched out her white hand and pressed it gently on his.

"Are you telling me to obey my heart and do whatever I want?" Chen Ziang suddenly felt at ease.

Although his sister's advice had no practical significance, its emotional value was so priceless that Chen Ziang quickly strengthened his determination.

After the war is over, ask Xia Qingyu about her past life!

After being tired for several days and not having a good rest, Chen Ziang suddenly felt sleepy and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

After a while, Xia Zili also came quietly, sat down next to Chen Xiaozhu, and asked:

"Is he worried about his sister?"

Chen Xiaozhu remained silent.

"I don't believe that my sister can be that kind of person." Xia Zili whispered, "At that time, Tsukigiya Suzuna was buried under the ruins. If she saw her sister's appearance beside the ruins, she would no longer hold Such a ridiculous conspiracy theory."

"I...actually still resent my sister, resenting her for betraying me secretly...but I at least believe in her in this regard. Maybe this is the tacit understanding between us as sisters."

"Oh, Xiaozhu, if I had not made such a mistake in my previous life, Tsukimiya Suzuna would not have unwanted delusions, and my sister would not admit her true thoughts to me..."

She seemed to be whispering, and hugged Chen Xiaozhu hard. Her eyes were filled with tears, and they fell down her cheeks:

"Xiaozhu, I regret so much..."

Chen Xiaozhu reached out awkwardly and patted her blond head.

367. Chapter 362 A useful strategy is to repeat the same tactics

The pirate fleet's retreat was later than expected, but it eventually happened as planned.

They quietly turned around and retreated, distanced themselves, and quickly jumped away, leaving only a large number of starship wreckage and more than 5000 pirate corpses inside the Forever.
