Chapter 619: Angels Clash in Titan Flagship (Thanks to Ran Ranzi for the reward)
In the cockpit of the mecha, Tilan leaned back in her chair. In front of her was a large spherical three-dimensional screen, as if she was looking through the mecha itself, observing the surroundings without blind spots.
The girl's eyes turned slightly, and the cursor on the screen automatically calibrated according to her pupil focus, then enlarged the point in her sight, and then displayed the scan data.
[Rose United Fleet A316 Fleet\A312 Fleet\A310 Fleet...]
Constantly comparing similar nameplate serial numbers, Tilan gradually sorted out the numbers and teams of the mechas she was chasing now.
It seems that Blanche and the others have reorganized the western fleet and did not follow the past system of the Federation. The girl thought in her heart, then turned her head and looked at the flash of light on the side, then turned her head and asked the mecha to change direction and drive towards the corner where the meteorites were densely arranged.
The special mecha she was driving was specially developed and customized by the "Time Seed Research Institute". Because it used the propulsion system of the "Lone Star" enterprise, its speed was extremely fast and could catch up with the first-moving Federation Sixth Fleet. Later, the time and space technology provided by "Alice's Pocket Watchmaker" also made it possible for the mecha to hide its body and shuttle through the subspace.
Because they all used the most advanced and cutting-edge technology that has not been announced, there is currently no detection method for it on the battlefield. As long as Tilan maintains a state of drifting in the subspace, it will be difficult for others to find it.
She came to the front line, firstly to find Blanche. If possible, it would be better to talk to the other party in person. Second, when both sides raised the Sun Crown, whether she could save one of them who was bound to die. As for the battle, she didn't want to intervene in either side.
Deflecting the body of the mecha, passing through the complex and dense meteorites and debris, Tilan turned her perspective and saw the two sides fighting behind her. On one side were three mechas from the Western Star Region, but the models were relatively old, and on the other side were five mechas with white and smooth shells, which should belong to the Sixth Fleet.
The two sides chased each other in the meteorite belt. The three mechas in the western star zone fought and retreated, using the trap devices they had set up before to gain a weak and powerful condition to resist the five federal mechas that were chasing them relentlessly.
The 'White Knight-α' mecha, the standard sixth-order standard mecha of the federal military, has balanced capabilities and can adapt to various situations. Even if it does not have a prominent advantage, it is not easy to defeat these guys. Each White Knight mecha is equipped with two kite-feather flying shields surrounding its side, plus its own impact cannon and particle spear, it is simply a small fortress on the battlefield. If it defends with all its strength, even the ace pilot of a special mecha will find it difficult to defeat the opponent in a short time.
During flight, the two shields also surround the side, not only to resist the opponent's shooting and attack, but also to act as a buffer to reduce collision damage when the mecha hits a meteorite.
On the other hand, the mechas in the western star region were not so well equipped. They simply abandoned most of their defenses and adopted a method of piling up firepower to ensure their threat to the federal mechas. On both sides of the shoulders were orange square gun muzzles, equipped with thermal light bombs to confuse and cover local detection. In the external box attached to the back of the arm were four short-range missiles, and the legs of the mechas were equipped with inserted blazing light swords.
After entering the meteorite belt to avoid, the three mechas first kept moving around, constantly activating thermal light bombs to distract the opponent's attention, looking for opportunities to shoot short-range high-speed missiles, and then drawing out the blazing light swords to fight.
Compared with the calmness of the 'White Knight-α', if these three mechas failed to hit in one shot, they would have no chance to retreat. In terms of speed, they could not compare with the White Knight mechas, and in terms of long-range firepower and protection, they were completely no match. Only close combat had a glimmer of hope.
The two sides first chased each other for a while, and then a mecha from the Western Star Region fought and pierced a White Knight in close combat, but it was also destroyed by other White Knight mechas that came to support it because of the damage to its thrusters. The remaining two wanted to continue with the previous tactics, but after being seen through, it was difficult to achieve results, and was finally destroyed by the four White Knights of the Federation's long-range concentrated fire.
After the battle, the four Federation mechas searched the battlefield and captured a mecha pilot from the Western Star Region who survived the explosion. They handed it over to the fighter plane that arrived later, and then continued to move forward.
Tilan, who watched the whole process, deflected the mecha he was driving and continued to hide on one side, and then continued to chase along the traces left in the meteorite belt.
...
In the next three days, it was basically a chase between the Sixth Fleet and the Western Star Region Combined Fleet. There were few main battles between the two sides, but the mechas and fighter planes of the two sides fought one after another in this complex terrain environment.
At this time, the Federation's strong industrial strength and heritage began to emerge. Although the pilots of the Western Star Region were more fearless and brave in combat, the Federation's pilots were generally stronger. Coupled with the advantages of the machine body, it was difficult for the Western Star Region's mecha to achieve an advantageous victory even if their morale was high.
If this continued, the elite of the Western Star Region would be exhausted in this meteorite belt. Tilan looked at the comparative data summarized by the AI on the screen. According to estimates, if the pursuit continued like this, in a few days, the mechas and fighters of the Western Star Region would not be able to maintain an effective sniper belt and would be completely penetrated by the Federation's mechas and fighter squadrons. If so, the final decisive battle would lose the power of checks and balances, and even if Blanche raised the Sun Crown, it would be difficult to change the outcome.
This situation was not only noticed by Tilan, but also by the commanders of both sides.
"The fleet of the Western Star Region is about to assemble and prepare for a decisive battle." The commander-in-chief of the Sixth Fleet made such a judgment.
"In the next two days, we will enter the highest level of combat readiness, and instruct the fleet to maintain its formation and be ready to respond to the impact at any time."
"It is understandable to even sacrifice a little pursuit speed for this, because it is the other party who is anxious at this time, not us."
"Yes, Commander!"
So in the last two days, the soldiers and officers of Shuang gradually realized the tension in the atmosphere and became cautious and nervous.
Taking advantage of the fact that the intensity of the battle between the two sides has decreased, Tilan drove the mecha to quickly pass through the interception zone, gradually approached the main force of the western star region, and slowly searched for the location of the other side's Titan flagship.
Reality is not a game. There is no map that shows all the information. She can only infer the location of the other side's flagship based on the number and the order of the fleet arrangement.
At this time, because of the need to hide, she can't even actively turn on the scanning device. She can only activate the passive sensing device on the mecha to receive various information to prevent being discovered by the other side.
Finally, after passing by the warships docked in space, Tilan found the unique and huge Titan flagship hidden in the warship cluster. Its surface armor was gray and brown, and some places were repaired and filled with armor of different materials.
It looked a bit old, the girl commented in her heart, in fact, it was more appropriate to say that it was backward and shabby.
She carefully maintained the concealment of the mecha, slowly "floating" towards the huge Titan flagship, and then the mecha absorbed the bottom. After observing for several hours, she found an opportunity to release a miniature shuttle and carried Tilan into the interior of the Titan flagship.
Fortunately, the flagship salvaged from the ruins had many damaged and closed modules, which gave Tilan many opportunities to hide and avoid, allowing her to gradually familiarize herself with the environment inside the flagship and gradually sort out their operating system.
In this giant warship, which is about ten kilometers long, the personnel are roughly divided into three categories. The first is the flagship's operation and maintenance personnel, the second is the special combat force stationed on the flagship to protect Blanche, and the third is the members of the cult, who are responsible for the maintenance and support of the throne system and the duty of training the song festival.
The first two have a strict management system of the military, and it is not easy to mix in casually. On the contrary, it is easier to mix in the third-party cult. They are not officially affiliated with the Western Star Region, and they are a school of their own. And it happens that Tilan also knows a lot of the cult's secrets.
Finding a young singer who was similar in size to her, Tilan knocked him out and then took him to an abandoned room.
A few minutes later, the young singer woke up and found herself tied to a chair, and a girl of similar height stood opposite her with her back to him.
"You're awake." Tilan turned around, her gray hair floating in the air, and her bright blue eyes were particularly different in the dim light.
"Who are you?" She asked hesitantly, her voice very nervous.
"As for me, I can't tell you my identity for the time being." After all, she is still a singer in the Federation.
"You can call me the Gray Song." Tilan blinked, and a special spiritual ripple spread, which surprised the singer in the internship stage.
This is the spiritual ripple of a singer, and it is extremely pure and pure, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" She was not so panicked at this time, after all, the singer in front of her did not look like someone who would kill people.
"I want to see Blanche, do you know where she is?" Tilan asked directly.
"This..." She hesitated for a moment, but soon found that her wrist was held by the other party.
"I am an old friend of Blanche and I will not hurt her." Tilan conveyed her thoughts. This sincere spiritual emotion was directly conveyed, which made the young singer have to believe it. After all, she was still young and could not resist the spiritual emotions of a high-level singer.
"Lady Blanche is currently living in the Sun Palace deep in the flagship. It is isolated from us. The pipelines leading to the interior are strictly monitored. Only generals of the military or senior members of the cult can enter." She told the information she knew.
"Can you draw the approximate location?" After that, Tilan got a rough distribution map of the interior of the flagship and understood it in her heart.
"I don't know much about other things. I just came here not long ago and I am not very good at learning. I haven't kept up with everyone's progress."
"Don't blame yourself, you have done very well, but time is too tight." Tilan comforted, and then asked a lot about the life arrangements and schedule of the singer during the internship period.
"I will borrow your identity for the next two days. I'll trouble you to sleep here for these two days. Don't worry, it will be over when you wake up." After Tilan finished speaking, she hummed a lullaby softly, and soon, the girl fell asleep.
Untying the bandages on her body, and then placing her on the bed beside her, Tilan raised her palm, and soon a transparent ice coffin protected and sealed the girl. While isolating the internal and external breath, the girl also entered a hibernation state.
This kind of protection is almost enough. If someone finds out, she can also detect it.
After changing into the same song festival clothes, Tilan picked up the other party's identity chip, inserted it into her wrist, temporarily shielded and isolated her original chip, and then walked out of the room.
[Angela Jane, born in the Galan star field, Light Feather Sequence 4, trainee song festival]
The girl silently recited her identity information, then put on a white veil hood and walked into the passage.
Half an hour later, she met several other song festivals of similar age in the restaurant, but she did not rush to talk to them. Instead, she used the identity chip to try to buy food and ate a potato beef brisket rice.
According to Angela's description, they will go to the cathedral this afternoon to pray and practice, purify their spirits, and learn resonance skills from the high-level song festivals there.
At this time, the time was almost up. Tilan looked at her watch and prepared to leave. If she could successfully hide from the high-level members of the cult, it should not be difficult to enter the central area later.
It was 1:40 pm. There were still 20 minutes before the official prayer and study. There were not many young song priests who came early. They gathered in twos and threes. A huge sun emblem was engraved on the main wall of the church, and there were stained glass windows simulating the sunlight on the side.
Walking under the high dome in the church, there was a sense of quietness and sacredness.
Tilan found a corner seat and sat down. She looked at the stage. There was already a priestess standing there. She looked like she should have the strength of Sequence 6, and she was a middle and high-level member of the cult.
Then she swept her eyes and observed the young song priests present. Most of them were between Sequence 4 and 5. To reach this level at this age, they should be excellent talents selected from the Western Star Region.
I don’t know how this branch of the cult trains song priests. Tilan recalled the knowledge she learned in Saint Sokanas. There should be many similarities between the two.
Time passed by minute by minute. When it was almost 2 o'clock, most of the singing priests were present and the seats in the church were filled with young people.
After that, they recited prayers as usual. Some of them were related to the Four Priests and some were related to Blanche's life. It seemed that the cult had recently compiled them. The words were also gorgeous, and some relatively obscure words and grammar were deliberately used to distinguish and show the difference.
During the whole process, most people were very pious, but there were a few who were absent-minded. They were discovered by the high-level priests present and asked to leave.
Originally, Tilan thought that after this prayer, there would be a relatively peaceful teaching session, but unexpectedly, with a commotion, a team of cult guards wearing white armor and winged helmets came in.
They first blocked the place, and then several high-level cult members who arrived later appeased the young singing priests present, and then divided them into eight groups and slowly evacuated them.
It seems that they were discovered. Although these people did not shout out immediately, Tilan knew that they were looking for her.
Sure enough, not long after, all the people in the church left, leaving only the girl sitting on the bench. The other guards stood quietly on both sides and did not take action.
A woman with a golden hair, wearing a white robe and a hood, slowly walked onto the stage, then took off her hood to reveal her face.
"I am 'Hope' Laguier, one of the 'Seven Virtues' of the current church. Welcome to the visit of this singer." She already knew that the girl in the audience was a singer, but she didn't know her specific identity.
"So you have selected new 'Seven Virtues' according to the history of the Sun of the Wings of God." The girl also stood up at this moment. She gently grasped the necklace on her chest with her fingers, and then took off a black crystal pendant.
Seeing this simple black crystal pendant, Laguier's eyes flashed, showing a bit of surprise.
"You are... the saint of the Rock Temple?" The person who was blessed by the four origins was actually a singer at the same time.
Although the cult was split into two, they were still very clear and understood each other's top leaders. The two sides just had different ideas, but they both believed in the Four Primordials. If the person in front of them received the blessing of the Gray Crystal Rock, Brunard, she would also be respected in the other cult.
"Well, you can say that." Although she was a little confused about this identity, it seemed to be quite useful. It would be better to admit it first. After all, it was not a lie. The Water Saint had admitted it.
Tilan raised her hand holding the black crystal pendant, and waves of halo spread from the pendant. The whole church turned into a holy place covered with frost. The guards who were originally on guard turned into frozen stone statues in an instant, and the interior of the entire church was also covered with frost.
At this moment, Laguier felt that his mind was a little stuck and stiff, and the confidence and determination in his heart began to waver. He began to pray that Blanche could notice the situation here as soon as possible.
Holding the pendant in his hand, Tilan walked towards Laguier on the stage step by step. The other party became more and more flustered, and even regretted not bringing all the high-level combat forces in the cult.
Fortunately, the changes in the environment inside the church were finally noticed by the outside world. With several heavy noises, the side door of the church was directly broken open, and a woman holding a boiling white flame sword walked out. She was wearing a close-fitting white light armor, showing her beautiful and slightly plump figure. At the same time, three pairs of burning flaming wings extended from her back, and she was very imposing. When she walked into the church, the flames spread like a flood, and boiling white smoke rose everywhere, making a sizzling sound.
"I am the 'Justice' of the Seven Virtues. I cannot have cholera in a holy place." The steaming airflow lifted her golden wavy long hair, revealing the bright blue and resolute eyes behind the white flames.
"It's Seraphiel." In the church where frost and white flames intertwined, the familiar voice came out through the white smoke, which instantly deflated the "Justice" of the Seven Virtues, and her eyes wavered.
Then she saw the extremely familiar figure walking across the sea of fire, and the white fingers directly passed through the water vapor, holding the boiling flaming sword. As the fingers stroked, the sword that was originally filled with flames turned into gray and fragile plaster, breaking into pieces and scattering all over the ground.
"It's you..." Seraphiel said the name that defeated her that year with a little bitterness.
"Heshia Tilan."
"Or, should I say 'the singer of the black angel', 'the saint of the rock temple', 'the body of the angel'..." Each of these names is not simple.
