Chapter 156

0.03 light-years.

For the scale of light-years, this distance is still extremely vast.

You must know...

The diameter of the solar system is only 0.003 light-years!

And 0.03 light-years, if flying at the speed of light, would still take six hours!

Of course, their fleet is capable of flying at multiple times the speed of light.

At most, they could detect the target location clearly within an hour.

They emerged from the jump state.

The captain of an advanced assault ship in the Spear fleet volunteered, “I’ll go.”

“My detection radar, stealth device, and paint are all of red excellent quality.”

This person was likely the reconnaissance type in the Spear fleet.

Naturally, no one had any objections.

Although Xu Zi'an’s Brilliant was also of red excellent quality.

However, it was a frigate-level ship after all, a tier lower.

It certainly couldn't be compared to this person’s red excellent quality equipment.

As for red excellent quality...

That person was a true genius.

And like geniuses such as them.

In reality, only a few parts would evolve to red excellent quality.

The remaining parts would still only be blue rare quality.

Or even lower.

Unlike Xu Zi'an.

One hundred percent red excellent quality, and when at a Tier 2 frigate, it was guaranteed to have some pink perfect quality parts.

This gap was already quite wide.

Everyone waited here.

This person went to scout.

About fifty-something minutes later.

Their voice suddenly rang out in everyone’s communicators—

“Enemy spotted! Enemy spotted!”

“It is currently confirmed that the enemy is a medium-sized star pirate group led by a low-level destroyer!”

“The target fleet has a total of forty-four starships!”

“Thirty-two of them are biological starships!”

“Twelve are support-type mechanical starships!”

Their report.

Made everyone’s spirits soar!

The captain of the Spear ship said loudly, “Beautiful!”

“Well done!”

“Brilliant, you really live up to your name!”

“This intuition of yours is truly incredible!”

“And your insight, you truly are the man who made the announcement!”

“Are you sure the detection is clear?”

The other party immediately replied, “Detection confirmed! Unless the enemy has a cruiser hidden in the dark!”

The captain of the Spear ship immediately laughed, “A cruiser? Don't joke around.”

At this moment, Manager Lin appeared very worried and said, “The enemy has a destroyer... should we play it safe?”

The captain of the Spear ship smiled and said, “Manager Lin, don't worry.”

“Although we don't have a destroyer here...”

“But trust me... we are from the Shenzhou Academy!”

When saying this.

The captain of the Spear ship’s tone revealed deep confidence.

Manager Lin smiled in relief and said, “My fault, my fault.”

“I was so nervous... I forgot you are all genius big shots from the Shenzhou Academy.”

“Alright, go ahead!”

“Our caravan will wait here for your triumphant return!”

Only at this moment.

Did Manager Lin suddenly wake up.

That’s right!

What was he worried about?

These people were not the ones he hired when he went to the Shenzhou star system before!

These people...

They were the elite of the elite!

Did he really think the title of number one in star warfare at Shenzhou Academy was given for nothing?

If one had to compare.

If the star pirates and those ordinary captains were compared to militia.

Then these geniuses from the Shenzhou Academy...

Were the frontline field army of the regular military!

The gap between the two sides was quite large!

Those pirates were also just a bunch of rabble...

After all, if they weren't rabble.

How could they have fallen into becoming pirates?

Thinking of this.

Manager Lin instantly felt at ease.

He had been too worried and too nervous.

Which led him to forget this.

After receiving the employer’s permission to act.

Everyone had no more hesitation.

The captains of the several fleets began to discuss the specific operational plan.

The captain of the Spear ship said bluntly, “Our Spear fleet will act as the vanguard; leave that destroyer to us!”

“Of course, we will decide which area to strike based on the situation at the time.”

Another captain of a Black Iron Seven-Star fleet said, “Leave half of the assault ships to us!”

Just as another captain of a Black Iron Seven-Star fleet wanted to speak.

Xu Zi'an hurriedly said, “Don't, everyone!”

“Leave one or two assault ships for me!”

“Our Brilliant fleet doesn't need much, two low-level assault ships, three low-level frigates!”

“As for the remaining scout ships, how about we rely on our own abilities?”

Two low-level assault ships.

Were what Xu Zi'an wanted.

The three low-level frigates were reserved for the three young women!

If they couldn't even beat a pirate’s low-level frigate with their high-level scout ships...

Then Xu Zi'an could only say...

After this time, let’s go our separate ways.

The Brilliant fleet does not want mediocrity!

Everyone laughed, and one of them said, “I forgot that the Brilliant could insta-kill assault ships.”

“Alright, I agree!”

“Actually, it’s really difficult for us to take down so many assault ships.”

“This is mainly to buy you some time.”

“In short, we will decide based on the situation.”

“We are all on the same side, there’s no need to cause conflict over a few starships.”

The captain of the Spear ship smiled, “That goes without saying.”

Then he teased, “Brilliant, if your fleet can take down that destroyer...”

“Actually, our Spear fleet would also be very happy!”

Xu Zi'an coughed lightly, “Let’s talk about that later, let’s talk about that later.”

Everyone laughed one after another.

That tense atmosphere eased up a little.

Afterward.

Everyone discussed the combat plan in detail.

They were all top students from the Shenzhou Academy, all having learned how to command in battle.

Therefore, everyone’s combat plan was quickly unified.

Immediately.

No more hesitation.

The fleet set out!

In the Brilliant fleet.

Xu Zi'an took the lead.

Following closely behind was Tai Mei’s Boulder.

Further behind were the starships of Miao Miao Miao Miao Xiaomi and Hu Hu Qiqi.

Hu Hu Qiqi’s Aowu was definitely in the back row as the main output force.

Her Aowu had much higher damage compared to Miao Miao Miao Miao Xiaomi and Tai Mei.

“Five times superluminal state, advance!”

Xu Zi'an gave the order.

“Yes!”

“Okay!”

“Understood!”

The three women responded in unison.

Five times superluminal speed was considered the speed limit the three women could reach.

It was thanks to their starship engines not being bad, and their quality being very high.

Otherwise, it would only be about two or three times.

And the other people’s fleets were faster.

After all, their levels were there.

They traveled for about fifty minutes.

Suddenly, they could already see the firelight ahead.

The Spear and the others were already engaging the enemy!

However, the situation didn't seem that optimistic.

Not to say they were losing.

But they definitely didn't have the upper hand.

Xu Zi'an immediately said, “I will go ahead first.”

“You follow closely behind me.”

“Remember, don't go into other people’s flight paths, otherwise if you encounter danger, I won't be able to rescue you in time!”

“Also, you absolutely must not separate; you three must fight as a group!”

After the three women responded, indicating they understood.

Xu Zi'an had no more hesitation.

He pushed the Brilliant to maximum speed.

He was the first to target one of the two assault ships that were jointly attacking their own assault ship.

He launched an attack brazenly.

The opponent obviously didn't expect that this frigate would dare to launch an attack on them.

They had originally intended to cooperate to take down this assault ship first.

But since this frigate was seeking death, they would just take it out first.

They immediately turned their bow, preparing to... Holy crap!!!

Their bow had just turned around.

Before they had even launched an attack on the Brilliant.

Several consecutive shells actually tore a gap directly in their energy shield.

It scared them into a shiver, and they hurriedly began to dodge while counterattacking.

But...

The bow had already turned, exposing the front of the cockpit to Xu Zi'an.

How could Xu Zi'an let them dodge?

He didn't even spare a glance at the opponent’s shells.

Precision shooting.

The shells were like they had eyes.

Tearing the gap in the opponent’s energy shield even wider.

Third round!

In the opponent’s terrified gaze.

One pulse piercing shell.

Ten secondary high-explosive shells.

Took them out in one wave!

The whole process.
