The mission was to smuggle Zhou Xiao out.
Code name: Crossing the Owl.
Mission objective: On the Immortal Ship, which has suffered 70% damage, avoid all obstacles and pursuit from other Immortal Ships, and escort the Immortal Ship's big boss, Zhou Xiao, back to the Black Tower Space Station for treatment.
Mission Difficulty: Two stars (The Immortal Ship, having survived internal strife, is now struggling to survive, but... its basic infrastructure still exists.)
Task plan:
The Star Train mission: The Star Train crew must first restrain the Cloud Cavalry and the Ten Kings' Division guards, engage General Jing Yuan in conversation, and express their apologies as much as possible. Meanwhile, the Star Core Hunters will take Zhou Xiao away completely and knock out the Star Train crew...
Star Core Hunter Mission: Take Zhou Xiao away, hijack the Star Chariot, leave the Immortal Ship, and deliver Zhou Xiao to the vicinity of the Black Tower Space Station to rendezvous with the Starry Sky Train at the scheduled time...
Mission Notes: Due to the immense damage Zhou Xiao inflicted on the Immortal Ship, Starry Sky Train, standing on the company's side, has no choice but to accept the surrender of Zhou Xiao...
They wanted to insist that Zhou Xiao was a Star Core Hunter and smear him.
Try to minimize the Celestial Ship's hostility towards the Star Train and acknowledge the Star Train's contributions to the Celestial Ship in this mission (Note: The above was written by the Star Core Hunter).
This is very important.
If the stance is unclear, it means that the Star Core Hunter's mission will be a complete failure.
The Star Core Hunters came to the Immortal Ship to forge a friendly relationship between the Starry Sky Train and the Immortal Ship, to make them heroes of the ship, and to plan for the future...
Who could have predicted that?
The script was progressing smoothly until the final curtain call, when Zhou Xiao became the mastermind behind it all, tearing up the original script that Elio had seen...
Task time: within three system hours
...
Task... Begins.
After everyone understood their respective tasks, Walter and Himeko from the Starry Sky Train headed to the ruins of the Divine Strategy Mansion, where they met a weary Jingyuan and Yanqing...
"General...this is Himeko, also a member of our Star Train..."
"Hello, General Jingyuan," Ji Zilu greeted him gracefully.
"Hello, hello..." Jingyuan seemed to be able to guess the purpose of Jizi's visit, and his eyes changed slightly the moment he saw Jizi.
"It's like this... We, the Starry Sky Train, are deeply sorry for what happened to the Immortal Ship, as we were unable to work with it to resolve this crisis..."
Himeko continued, "We never expected that Zhou Xiao, who left the Star Train, would join the Star Core Hunters and do such a despicable thing... He almost completely destroyed the Immortal Ship."
"General, please rest assured. Although Zhou Xiao was once a logistics officer for our Starry Sky Train, we can clearly distinguish right from wrong and will not cover up or condone the behavior of the Star Core Hunter. Zhou Xiao will be handed over to Immortal Boat... We will also fully cooperate with Luo Fu to handle this matter properly and give the Immortal Boat Alliance and the company an answer."
Ji Zi spoke with righteous indignation, but Jing Yuan only vaguely understood what she said.
Before the accident...
Zhou Xiao is a logistics worker on our Starry Sky Train...an indispensable part of the Starry Sky Train.
After the incident.
We strongly condemn the actions of Star Core Hunter Zhou Xiao. Our Starry Sky Train is irreconcilably opposed to the Star Core Hunters...
Upon hearing Ji Zi's words, Jing Yuan smiled slightly: "I deeply admire the Starry Sky Train's understanding and wisdom... Rest assured, despite the Immortal Ship's devastation, I will never deny the efforts made by the Starry Sky Train during the Luo Fu crisis..."
"I, Jingyuan, am deeply grateful..."
Faced with Himeko's clear stance, Kagemoto readily agreed.
The one who destroyed the Immortal Ship was Zhou Xiao, a Star Core Hunter, and had little to do with the Starry Sky Train... This is something the people of the Immortal Ship know.
"Well, the Immortal Ship is currently severely damaged, so we'll have to put our gratitude aside for now..." Jing Yuan said.
"General! General..."
Just then, a Cloud Cavalryman walked in from outside. Seeing the people from the Starry Sky Train, he approached Jing Yuan and whispered a report:
"General... the Star Core Hunter suddenly attacked... broke free of his restraints, and fled towards the port with the criminal Zhou Xiao..."
Star Core Hunter...
Hearing this, Jing Yuan understood even more clearly the purpose of the Star Train's presence: "Okay, I understand... Let's get off now."
After the soldier left, Jing Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the two people on the Starry Sky Train before him, and said, "Gentlemen... Jing Yuan is very busy. If there's nothing else... please return..."
"I apologize for disturbing you, General."
Himeko and Welt didn't say much, and turned to leave...
After the two left, Yanqing, who had just been beaten up, looked at Jingyuan: "General... is there something else?"
"Nothing much... Zhou Xiao was just kidnapped by the Star Core Hunters," Jing Yuan said casually.
"?"
"I'll go after them right away..." Yanqing, still injured, said he would give chase.
"Forget it, even if you catch up, you can't keep her."
Jingyuan's words deeply wounded Yanqing's young heart...
Such cold words...
But it's still the truth...
He had just been taught a lesson by Zhou Xiao's fourth major confrontation...
However, to be fair...
He felt a little proud when he saw Zhou Xiao nearly destroy the immortal ship...
To survive four major battles against someone of that caliber... he could brag about it if he told anyone.
"The main task now is still to quell the internal strife on the Immortal Ship..." Jing Yuan said slowly, gazing into the distance.
He understands.
He understands everything...
But what can he do?
The Star Train had barely arrived and clarified its stance when the Star Core Hunter suddenly attacked and took Zhou Xiao away...
How could he not guess the trickery involved...?
But what could he say?
Even if he could send people to pursue Zhou Xiao and his group...and keep Zhou Xiao here, what good would it do?
If the power within Zhou Xiao were to erupt again, damaging Luo Fu's foundation... that would be a huge loss. It would be better to let the Star Core Hunters take Zhou Xiao away...
As for how the Immortal Ship people would vent their anger on Zhou Xiao, that's another story...
At this moment, they couldn't, and dared not, keep Zhou Xiao...
Antimatter Legion...
Star Core Hunter...
After today's events, the Immortal Boat Alliance will naturally have these two forces as its future mortal enemies...
We couldn't escape this calamity... Although it was unexpected, it's still under control...
Jingyuan expressed it in this way.
...
On the other side.
The Star Core Hunter carried Zhou Xiao away...
The journey was incredibly smooth. Blade hijacked a starship, while Kafka and Silver Wolf piloted the starship through the Jade Gate and headed towards a distant starfield.
The mission to cross the owl... is already more than half successful.
