Chapter 545 Escape
Those around him panicked for a moment when they heard him say it. The man angrily punched the air, but still reluctantly gave the order.
"Replace with ninth-tier crystal cores and fire all six cannons simultaneously." His order was transmitted through the starship's internal system, and all three warships that broke through the encirclement replaced their cores with high-tier crystal cores as ordered.
Each of the three starships carried six cannonballs, for a total of 18 energy cannonballs. They shot out and approached the Blue Star at an extremely high speed, creating a sense of oppression even in the vacuum of space.
As they rapidly approached Azure Star, the assigned guards seemed to witness the destruction of the planet. The thought of the Lady and the young master still on it filled them with rage.
The interceptor missiles recklessly hurtled towards the target, but energy projectiles are inherently difficult to intercept. Furthermore, their proximity to the planet could potentially cause double damage.
As the shells fell one after another onto the planet, they were deflected by an energy shield instead of penetrating the atmosphere.
The energy shield rippled with light blue waves, and the varying shades of blue reflected the spiritual form of Xuanwu. No one in the interstellar space was unfamiliar with that image, because it was the emblem of the Xuanwu family.
That legion that has guarded the interstellar space for a thousand years, the only one whose family has never been replaced.
The men on the fallen family's warship also saw the totem, and finally gritted their teeth. "Retreat."
The others were also quite frightened. They couldn't understand why the Xuanwu family, who had never participated in federal political struggles, would now stand on their side and offer such strong support.
The mature state of the Black Tortoise on the totem and its defensive capabilities clearly indicate that it is not a junior. The leader, who knows more about the Black Tortoise family, even had an incredible conjecture.
That's why they decisively ordered a retreat. Upon hearing this order, the others quickly replaced the power cores on their spaceships with higher-level ones.
They seemed to wish they had two more Mach numbers so they could run even faster. They didn't take the Bo family's guards chasing them seriously.
Even a regular army could manage to fight space pirates, but the Fallen Clan was well-equipped, and had a numerical and starship advantage. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to break through their defenses so easily.
As for those Star Paths that were utterly destroyed, what did it have to do with them? They were just pawns who died a fitting death.
As for Li Liangxin, it was just a cooperative relationship. He was a person with no background and only one arm, whose fighting ability was greatly reduced. It was already an honor to give him a chance to cooperate.
Whether he lives or dies, what does it matter to me?
However, even though the leader reacted quickly, and even though all of them reacted quickly, they were still surrounded before they could leave the territory.
They were being robbed by Chen Xingheng's Black Domain organization in front and Bo Chuan's guards behind, so they tried to run in another direction, even though that direction was a little further away from the black hole.
However, they shouldn't suffer too much loss in a direct confrontation. After all, they had consumed a lot of high-level crystal cores in the attack just now, and the other side naturally had more supplies than they did.
Before they could even give the order to turn around, the starship's intelligent system had already confirmed that warships were closing in.
Following various investigations, it was confirmed that the ships there belonged to the Azure Dragon Legion.
The leader cursed and swore, but it didn't change anything; the encirclement gradually tightened. Several starships on the sidelines had even been attacked.
With no other option, he ordered his men to provide cover while he led another large starship to create a temporary wormhole and jump away.
The best escape route is towards the Empire, where someone is harassing the Federation's delegation; this is a good opportunity to provide flanking support.
Moreover, the Federation has always clearly defined the Empire's defense lines and will generally not cross them without cause.
After abandoning one large starship and several smaller starships, they successfully created a temporary jump point to escape.
Temporary jump points are extremely unstable, and those who are besieging them cannot track them down, otherwise any accident could happen.
Of course, the Fallen Family members also knew this, and after seeing their successful leap, they were somewhat relieved, since no one would risk their life to pursue them.
But what they didn't see was that the surrounding regular troops had no orders, dared not move, and wouldn't move. But who were the people in the Black Domain?
The group of desperados, who were already living hand to mouth, were now subdued by Chen Xingheng. At his command, just before the Fallen Family's starship was about to launch its attack, an external device was attached to it.
Using the time difference, their self-checking devices failed to detect it, and then the somewhat damaged starship plunged headlong into the jump point.
