"Major General, the Dark Devil has lost its connection with the starship."
After seeing the actions of the Black Demon Ship, the interstellar cruiser immediately reported to Bai Hao, who was leading the Third Army's warships and hiding behind a nearby planet.
"They wanted to abandon the starship. It seems that they either transferred all the hostages to the Dark Devil, or only transferred some, and the rest are still on the starship and crashed with it."
Bai Hao quickly understood Xiong Wei's thoughts.
"Pass on my orders. Send a small team in a small spacecraft to take control of the starship and rescue the hostages on board. Tell them to leave as quickly as possible once they have control of the starship and transfer the hostages to a safe place."
"yes!"
Bai Hao then ordered the captain of patrol ship No. 56: "Continue to send communication requests to the Black Demon Ship."
"Major General, I have been sending communication requests to them according to your orders, but the people from the Lion Mercenary Group don't seem to want to negotiate with us and have been refusing."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ye looked at Bai Hao in confusion. "Major General, what exactly do these Lion Mercenaries mean? They're holding the little princess of the Mifa Empire hostage so they can negotiate with the Mifa Empire royal family and exchange her for their second-in-command, Black Lion. But they're not heading in the direction closest to the Mifa Empire."
Bai Hao stared at the star map in front of him, constantly recalling all kinds of information about this star field in his mind. Suddenly he remembered something and slammed the table.
"No! They want to take the abandoned space jump point behind Gray Star!
Wu Ye, hurry up, order the second and third teams to advance at full speed. We must stop them before they enter the space jump point!"
"yes!"
Wu Ye immediately took the order and left.
Hu Ming stepped forward with a look of surprise. "Major General, they're not really going there, are they? Hasn't that space jump point been abandoned for over a hundred years? How did they know about this place?"
Bai Hao looked at the star map in front of him with a gloomy face: "The existence of this space jump point has never been a secret, but it has been abandoned for too long, and most people have forgotten about this place. It is not even marked on the current star map.
It seems that Xiong Wei made sufficient preparations before daring to come to this place and kidnap the little princess of the Mifa Empire."
"But hasn't this space jump point collapsed? If we rush in, we might be turned into stardust by the space vortex. Don't they know this?"
Hu Ming looked at the Black Magic Ship gradually approaching the Gray Star on the star map, and was worried. He hoped that the hateful Lion Mercenary Group did not transfer the hostages of their empire to the Black Magic Ship.
However, Hu Ming also understood that the possibility was almost zero. Now he only hoped that the second and third teams could stop the Black Magic ship in time.
"The collapse of this space jump point was also discovered accidentally by the people from the Engineering Corps. They simply reported it to their superiors. Considering it was an abandoned space jump point, the people in the House of Representatives felt that there was no need to publicize this information, so this matter was not announced and was only known to internal personnel."
Bai Hao stared at the black magic ship on the star map, wishing he could teleport over to stop it.
"Let our signalmen also initiate a communication request to the Dark Demon ship using an interstellar emergency signal. We must contact them!"
"yes!"
…
Inside the command room of the Black Demon Ship.
"Nito, that Mingxi Empire interstellar cruiser has sent us another communication request. How about it? Do you want to answer it?"
"Why answer it?"
Nito sat in a chair next to the podium, crossed his legs and picked his nose.
"Didn't the boss say that we just need to get to that space jump point before they catch up with us? There's no need to waste time talking to him."
"But, just now, another Mingxi Empire warship sent us a communication request, and it used an interstellar emergency signal. We..."
"Leave them alone!"
Neto impatiently changed his posture and continued to pick out earwax.
"Those people just want us to release the hostages on the ship, but can we do that? If it weren't for the hostages, the interstellar cruiser would have opened fire on us long ago. Now that there are hostages, they are afraid to act rashly, so they are just following us.
And as for the warship you mentioned, the boss has long said that the place where we were discovered is not far from their Third Legion, and the warships of the Third Legion are hidden behind those planets.
As long as we have the hostages, they won't dare to open fire. We don't need to worry about them. We can just go to the space jump point later."
Another small leader was puzzled by the constant ringing of the communicator. "What's wrong with the Mingxi Empire's warships? We've clearly refused to negotiate, so why are they still communicating with us? Could it be that there's something serious they want to discuss with our boss?"
"Tsk, what could be the problem? Don't you just want us to release him?"
Nito snapped his fingers and said with disdain, "The boss hasn't had a good rest for a long time because of the Second In Command's affairs. We just finally persuaded him to go back and rest. It's only been a short time, and you want to wake the boss up for such a small matter. The boss will twist your head off.
Stay put, we're almost at the space jump point. This abandoned space jump channel still needs to be fed with crystals, so hurry up and get ready."
The little leader thought about it and felt that what Nito said made sense, so he nodded and turned to prepare the crystal to activate the space jump point.
"These Mingxi Empire warships are as annoying as flies. Pilot, speed up and shake them off!"
Nito heard the communicator ringing again and yelled in frustration.
"yes!"
…
"Yin Yi, what's wrong?"
In the room where the hostages were held, Jiang Wan saw Yin Yi's expression suddenly become very solemn, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
Bai Li, Yu Rou, and another orc also came over curiously.
"Bai Hao just sent me a message. The Lion Mercenary Group plans to use the Gray Star's space jump point to teleport directly into the Mifa Empire."
"What?"
Bai Li exclaimed, causing the other hostages to look at him sideways.
Bai Li immediately lowered his voice, "Didn't the transmission tunnel collapse? They're taking us to our deaths!"
"The tunnel collapse hasn't been announced, so they probably don't know about it. Bai Hao said Xiong Wei has refused to communicate with them, so they can't tell Xiong Wei the news."
Yin Yi said in a low voice with a sullen face, "Also, in about fifteen minutes, the Dark Devil ship will enter the space jump point."
"So what should we do?"
"The only way now is for us to reveal our identities, negotiate with Xiong Wei, tell him the news, and stop the Black Demon Ship."
