Chapter 70: Shooting Niaoren
The close-range dogfight shelling battle between the Archangel and the Archangel continued. Both of the newest and most advanced space warships looked scarred, either you were missing a main gun, or I was missing an engine.
But the cruel battle continued, because both captains had their own beliefs.
Murrue had to cross the Archangel's obstruction and destroy the Peace Maker team's mothership.
And Natarle Badgiruel didn't want the person she had once abandoned with her own mouth to die with her in this kind of place, so she had to fight on, fight until Li Boyong changed into a Strike Dagger and sortied.
As for whether he could survive after that, it could only depend on himself. The things she could do were only these.
"Has the Captain not changed machines and sortied yet?"
Natarle Badgiruel shouted anxiously. The anxiety was because after so long, she hadn't seen Li Boyong piloting a Strike Dagger and sortied.
At the same time, she was a little afraid, afraid that the Archangel wouldn't last until Li Boyong sortied again.
Because in this unreasonable close-range shelling battle, the Goddess of Luck stood on Murrue's side.
"The maintenance crew hasn't responded yet, they should be working hard."
Fulei answered with a guilty conscience. In fact, she had received a communication report from the maintenance crew about Captain Li Boyong's whereabouts being unknown, but she had privately concealed this news.
She didn't know why she did this, just that when she reacted, she had already done so.
"Eh, what are you doing, why haven't you sunk that ship yet!"
Niaoren, who was also watching the battle on the bridge, had already clearly felt that the situation was not good, and the fear of death was gradually devouring his remaining reason.
Without reason, there was only madness.
This big shot, who had always been arrogant, bypassed Natarle Badgiruel, the captain, and began to issue orders to the CIC.
"Positron Blaster Cannon activate, aim at the Archangel in front!"
Sure enough, if you want to win, you can only rely on yourself. These useless wastes only know how to drag their feet.
Niaoren issued the order, but the members of the CIC didn't execute it immediately, but looked at Natarle Badgiruel in a dilemma.
So he went crazy, pointed the pistol at the CIC and roared frantically: "Shout my order to do it, as long as you listen to me, you can survive!"
"Councilor, please don't overstep your authority to command."
Natarle Badgiruel still hated Niaoren, but didn't care anymore, just explained calmly, "You can't hit the enemy with a special cannon in this kind of maneuver battle!"
Now she only hoped that Li Boyong could leave piloting a Strike Dagger. If he was smart enough, maybe he could try to join the Archangel. According to Murrue's personality, maybe he would be fine.
But Natarle Badgiruel's calmness was particularly dazzling in Niaoren's eyes. He roared at Natarle Badgiruel, "Isn't it because of you, because you insist on saving that useless little white face, that this situation will be caused!"
The quarrel on the Archangel seriously shook the military morale. Everyone's movements slowed down, and they watched Natarle Badgiruel and Niaoren in a standoff with dissatisfaction and silence.
At this point, who is still willing to continue to sell their lives for such people here?
They saw clearly that they had already lost anyway.
Perhaps it was the Archangel's sudden silence that gave Murrue an illusion. She thought Natarle Badgiruel finally saw the situation clearly and was ready to give up resistance.
This made her a little relieved, relieved that this deputy captain who used to always go against her finally understood how to cherish the lives of her subordinates.
So Murrue also ordered to stop the attack on the Archangel. She hoped that Natarle Badgiruel would make a wise decision as soon as possible, but Miriallia's announcement made her a little confused.
"Strike hit, returning!"
Mula Flaga's communication popped up on the bridge screen. The cockpit of Strike was already full of thick smoke and alarm sounds. He smiled miserably, "Sorry, Rau Le Creuset's new machine, after the maintenance is done, I will sortie again..."
Seeing this, Murrue knew that Strike's situation was not good. Out of concern, she directly cut off Strike's communication and changed to the hangar, "Maintenance crew stand by, Strike hit, situation is serious, prepare for emergency rescue immediately."
The Archangel prepared to accommodate Strike under Murrue's order, but ignored the Archangel that was still silent on the side.
Niaoren on the Archangel saw this opportunity. He directly pushed aside the fire control controller and began to operate the Positron Blaster Cannon, trying to destroy the Archangel with one shot.
"No, Archangel, hurry up and dodge!"
Fulei on the side saw this and was so scared that she hurriedly sent a communication to the Archangel.
"What are you doing?"
Niaoren heard Fulei's words and was so angry that he wanted to shoot this stupid girl on the spot.
But just as his hand was raised, he was grabbed by Natarle Badgiruel.
How could she, who was always strong and reasonable, bear to see Fulei blood-stained on the spot.
While trying to snatch the gun from Niaoren, she shouted her last order as the captain of the Archangel, "Everyone! Abandon ship!"
Since Li Boyong was too late, then simply abandon ship and surrender. With Murrue's nature, she probably wouldn't attack the escape pod.
The members heard this order and filed out. No one wanted to stay here anymore.
Fulei also wanted to leave. She wanted to live to see Kira. She had a thousand words she wanted to say to Kira.
But she looked at Natarle Badgiruel who was tearing with Niaoren, and felt that she shouldn't just abandon Natarle Badgiruel who had helped her so much. It wasn't just Natarle Badgiruel, but also Li Boyong's kindness. She couldn't just walk away like this.
This timid eldest lady gritted her teeth and made up her mind to help, when a gunshot spread throughout the Archangel's bridge.
————
Li Boyong, who was moving toward the bridge, was a little stunned and anxious about the suddenly lowered isolation door, but didn't hesitate, immediately made a turn, and went to another passage that could reach the bridge.
He knew how to open these isolation doors, but didn't try to do so, because he knew the damage control mechanism after the warship was hit. What was waiting for him behind that door was either a vacuum or a dangerous situation of fire.
The more anxious he was, the less he could be chaotic. Chaos leads to mistakes.
He couldn't make a mistake, he must save Natarle Badgiruel.
But this change of path ultimately delayed time.
When he approached the bridge, he felt a large number of bridge personnel floating out from inside.
These people who followed Natarle Badgiruel's order to abandon ship saw Li Boyong, who was holding an assault rifle and fully armed, as soon as they came out, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
"Get out of my way!"
Li Boyong raised his gun and roared.
These people faced the black muzzle and hurriedly gave way intuitively.
Li Boyong floated to the bridge door smoothly. Before he went in, he heard a gunshot from inside.
He hurriedly rushed in with his gun. What caught his eyes was Natarle Badgiruel's body floating in mid-air, and a blood flower floating beside her. That blood flower was so scarlet.
So red that Li Boyong's eyes were bloodshot, full of fierce light waiting to be devoured!
And Niaoren, after shooting Natarle Badgiruel, aimed his gun at Fulei again. He intended to kill this stupid girl again.
But he unexpectedly saw Li Boyong who came in from the door, and saw the assault rifle in his hand aimed at himself.
"You..."
Before he could say anything, before he could scold the other party for aiming his gun at himself, Li Boyong had already fired decisively.
The sound of gunfire rang through the Archangel's bridge.
Li Boyong directly emptied a magazine and turned this once high-ranking Atlantic Federation councilor and Blue Cosmos leader into a hornet's nest. ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
