Chapter 296

302. Chapter 302 Main Course

The Shadow City otherworld reclamation team entered the field abruptly.

Just as the Flame and Metal Trading Company warship was about to enter the meteorite belt.

This matter was truly unexpected, except for Lin Ke.

Before the "Lark" class warship set off, when the final decision to "beat the grass and startle the snake" was made, Lin Ke had envisioned this situation.

That is, the Shadow City otherworld reclamation team chose to speed up, either curvature navigation or jump navigation.

Arriving at the sniping battlefield preset by other wizard organizations in advance, in order to disrupt the rhythm of the sniping team.

Anyway, for the Shadow City otherworld reclamation team, this battle was inevitable.

A little earlier or a little later made no difference.

Arriving in advance might also be able to win some advantages for themselves.

Thereby having one more possibility of retreating unscathed.

"Good! Well done!"

Wizard Wina shouted loudly after listening to the report from the team member operating the reconnaissance system.

She knew that with such an accident, the 10 annoying wizards of the Michelle Great Sage Tower would inevitably let her go and turn to deal with the Shadow City otherworld reclamation team.

Sure enough, as she expected, the 10 wizards gave up forcing the Flame and Metal Trading Company team warship without hesitation and turned to move closer to their own warship.

Although they chased to the vicinity of the meteorite belt, the distance to the sniping star field was relatively far, but the 10 wizards were unhurried and marched at a constant speed in a neat formation.

Even if the Flame and Metal Trading Company wanted to vent their anger and sneak attack from behind, it would be of no use.

Not to mention, under the command of Wizard Wina, the Flame and Metal Trading Company team warship continued to retreat without looking back.

It only slightly adjusted the route to bypass the meteorite belt.

After being beaten and suppressed by the 10 wizards of the Great Sage Tower joining forces, Wizard Wina had already recognized the fact that the Saint's inheritance was by no means something she could touch.

"It was right for you to run so early."

Without the suffocating tide-like pursuit, Wizard Wina's mind relaxed, and she leaned back on the captain's seat, muttering to herself.

The other wizards in the team heard it clearly, and their thoughts were different.

Some were ashamed, some were indifferent, and some felt resentment, blaming Wizard Wina for not making a decision earlier and not withdrawing earlier.

To be fair, the biggest responsibility for the Flame and Metal Trading Company team warship falling into such a miserable situation earlier indeed fell on Wizard Wina.

As the team leader, leader, and commander, one must have responsibility.

Assessing the situation and making decisions is the duty of the team leader.

Whether to fight or withdraw, Wizard Wina makes the decision, and other team members execute it.

It should not have been like before, hesitant and missing the opportunity.

Fortunately, because of the early arrival of the Shadow City otherworld reclamation team, the danger had passed.

The Flame and Metal Trading Company warship was not severely damaged, just a bit miserable.

"Warning! Warning!"

Just when everyone in the Flame and Metal Trading Company team, including Wizard Wina, was secretly rejoicing.

The warship's cockpit lit up with red lights representing unknown danger, and the Warship Spirit issued warnings one after another.

"What's the situation?"

Wizard Wina's heartstrings, which had just relaxed, tightened sharply, and she shouted sternly.

"Don't know, currently troubleshooting."

The team member responsible for operating the reconnaissance system replied without raising his head while inputting manual instructions on the smart brain.

"Increase defense, increase speed, quick!"

Wizard Wina couldn't care about blaming the team member for incompetence and ordered quickly.

Earlier, when the 10 wizards of the Great Sage Tower suddenly raided the warship, it was like this!

Before the attack fell on the warship's defense shield, the warship's reconnaissance system was deaf and blind, and didn't discover anything.

This time it was like this again.

Wizard Wina wailed in her heart, what exactly is wrong with her?

Why did she encounter setbacks again and again?

Lin Ke arranged Flandre, who was eager to move, at a certain place on the other end of the meteorite belt, ready to perform reverse summoning at any time.

He himself lurked to the side of the Flame and Metal Trading Company warship, with high-power attack witchcraft spells drawn but not fired, giving the Flame and Metal Trading Company warship enough threat, but waiting quietly for a better opportunity to strike.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Great Sage Tower couldn't care about the meteorite belt, Lin Ke intended to strike and thoroughly abolish the possibility of the Flame and Metal Trading Company continuing to intervene in the Saint's inheritance.

The Academy only required not to kill people.

It was completely fine to destroy one or two engines of the opponent's warship.

"Still haven't found it?"

Wizard Wina adjusted the defense distribution of the warship, glanced at the huge main screen, and couldn't help but be furious.

After so long, the reconnaissance system actually didn't have any discoveries!

Was this waste to the extreme?

"Report, the other party's concealment is extremely strong, and it still needs a certain amount of time."

The wizard operating the reconnaissance system had to bite the bullet and report.

"Waste!"

Wizard Wina could no longer suppress her anger and shouted angrily,

"Waste! Waste! Waste! All of you are wastes!

What use are you?

Ah?

You tell me, what use are you?"

If this were a team built by Wizard Wina herself, no matter how big a fire she made, no one would talk back.

It's a pity it's not.

As the voice fell, a Level 2 wizard immediately stood up with a cold face and choked back: "You are the biggest waste! Besides getting angry, have you done any of the team leader's duties well? If you are incompetent, don't be furious, it's disgusting!"

"You..."

Wizard Wina was a bit unbelievable, someone actually dared to talk back to her?

"What about me?"

That Level 2 wizard glared at Wizard Wina with a gloomy face, his killing intent directly locked on Wizard Wina, ready to strike at any time, "I am not those apprentices who have no power to fight back in front of you, put aside your background, you can't kill me! Shut up immediately, otherwise, at worst, I'll die and slaughter you first!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the cockpit fell into a silence.

Except for the red light rotating and the Warship Spirit warning, no wizard made a sound.

Whether it was Wizard Wina or other wizards, they all looked at this Level 2 wizard who was exuding cold killing intent, whose killing intent was directly locked on Wizard Wina, and who was ready to strike at any time.

This was really tearing the face off!

"Alright! Stop arguing! The enemy is at the door, causing internal strife, have you all lived enough?"

Another senior Level 2 wizard who also had resentment toward Wizard Wina stood out and broke the silence.

However, his words, on the surface, were mediating, but in reality, he was also blaming Wizard Wina for being derelict in her duty as a team leader!

At a critical moment, actually only caring about venting her own anger and ignoring the team's safety, where did she have any appearance of a team leader?

"You..."

Wizard Wina heard the subtext, shifted her gaze, and was about to speak out in reprimand.

"Warning! Warning! Attack approaching! Attack approaching!"

The warning sound of the Warship Spirit sounded urgently.

In the starry sky, beside the warship.

Lin Ke exited the concealment lurking state, the battle armor switched to the attack mode, his figure was revealed, and was finally captured by the Flame and Metal Trading Company warship's reconnaissance system.

Looking at the familiar armored figure on the huge main screen, those hands raised high, and that double-handed great sword whose style had become plain and unadorned, Wizard Wina was terrified.

"Over-limit defense! Quick!"

While shouting, Wizard Wina couldn't care about whether the Warship Spirit and the team members operating the defense system reacted in time, and quickly input instructions on the captain's office smart brain.

The so-called over-limit defense is to cut off the power supply of other systems of the warship except for the engine and life support system, and supply it all to the defense system.

Not only is it maximizing the role of the defense system, but it also ignores the damage to the defense system and forcibly stimulates 150% or even 200% of the defense intensity.

After doing this operation, on the huge main screen, before Lin Ke Grande finished charging but hadn't slashed down the great sword in his hand, Wizard Wina's figure quickly disappeared from the captain's seat.

Along with her, 11 other wizards also disappeared.

At this moment, the 12 wizards of the Flame and Metal Trading Company team all chose to run toward the escape pod without exception.

The 10 wizards of the Michelle Great Sage Tower, under combined spellcasting, no matter how they suppressed the warship, the 12 wizards of the Flame and Metal Trading Company were not so afraid.

Just being suppressed and beaten, just having no power to fight back.

Those 10 wizards didn't have the ability to break the warship's defense in one blow!

But Lin Ke Grande could.

The supply ship was slashed by a sword, losing nearly half of the tail cabin, and the defense shield at the tail of the main ship was broken into a small opening by a ray—this image has been circulating within the Flame and Metal Trading Company to this day.

They couldn't help but be afraid.

What if Lin Ke Grande had improved again and slashed down, thoroughly breaking the main ship's defense?

If they were stuffed in the broken hull, wouldn't they be waiting for death?

It would be better to actively leave the warship, separate and flee, and the chance of surviving would be greater.

At this moment, no one cared about internal strife or blaming, they only wanted to escape.

Lin Ke, who had finished charging, of course didn't know what happened inside the warship.

"Slash of Heaven!"

He muttered softly and swung his raised double-handed great sword down with force.

Unlike the previous version which would produce a super-giant sword-shaped light shadow 200 meters long and 15 meters wide after slashing down, the brand-new version of the self-created composite witchcraft "Slash of Heaven" was thoroughly plain and unadorned, without any light shadow effects.

Facing the huge warship, Lin Ke's figure and the action of swinging the double-handed great sword were like a child playing.

A bit clumsy, a bit ridiculous.

However, returning to the basics, the "Slash of Heaven" developed based on the 3rd-ring witchcraft "Ultra-high Frequency Oscillation" and the 3rd-ring witchcraft "Ultra-high Temperature Cutting" was truly as the witchcraft name suggested.

The defense shield of the Flame and Metal Trading Company warship under the over-limit defense mode split silkily, just like tofu being cut by a knife.

The invisible and shadowless sword energy went straight to the warship's engine cabin.

Ultra-high temperature cutting opened the way, ultra-high frequency oscillation destroyed, and in the blink of an eye, two of the three engines were destroyed.

Before thorough repair, this warship of the Flame and Metal Trading Company could only perform conventional navigation below light speed, unable to jump, and unable to enter the curvature mode.

Lin Ke was very satisfied with the performance of the brand-new "Slash of Heaven."

Whether the power was great or not was secondary; the key was that it was controllable.

The remaining power after breaking the warship's defense shield could actually thoroughly destroy the entire engine cabin.

But under Lin Ke's control, only a small part of the hull was destroyed, as well as the jump engine and the curvature engine.

It perfectly achieved Lin Ke's expected goal.

"Take care of yourself!"

Lin Ke put the double-handed great sword back on his back, issued his warning to the Flame and Metal Trading Company warship using the 1st-ring witchcraft "Mind Communication," and then called Flandre in his heart.

Under reverse summoning and "Shift Shadow," Lin Ke's figure disappeared from the spot instantly.

When he appeared on the other end of the meteorite belt, he had already switched back to the concealment lurking mode sufficient to deceive the Michelle Great Sage Tower warship.

"Master is so great, Master is so handsome!"

Greeting Lin Ke was Flandre's sincere praise without any pretense.

"Is it okay?"

Wizard Wina had just entered the shuttle and was preparing to escape when she heard Lin Ke's voice.

"It's okay!"

Soon, Wizard Wina reacted. When she sensed the life-and-death crisis just now, she subconsciously forgot the battle restrictions for snatching the inheritance.

"Not good!"

After relaxing, Wizard Wina's face changed drastically, and she quickly ordered, "Warship Spirit, prioritize repairing the hull damage and defense system."

"Under... stood."

The Warship Spirit's voice accepting the order was a bit intermittent.

The ultra-high frequency oscillation attack just encountered actually affected the operation of the Warship Spirit.

On the way from the shuttle, leaving the escape pod, and rushing back to the cockpit, the 12 wizards all had gloomy faces, but no one spoke.

The performance earlier was indeed shameful.

It was a bit like ignoring the head and forgetting the tail.

No one had the face to speak.

Not to mention how the Flame and Metal Trading Company warship repaired, how it thoroughly extinguished the idea of intervening in the Saint's inheritance, and how it fled back in panic, far away from the sniping star field.

Michelle Great Sage Tower team.

The team leader of the Great Sage Tower team, who led the other 9 wizards to suppress the Flame and Metal Trading Company warship with combined spellcasting, was silent after receiving the combat images transferred by the warship.

The arrogance born from the feat of suppressing a starship that could serve as the main ship of a non-first-line fleet in a Sage-level legion interstellar fleet with the advanced combined spellcasting techniques that had been practiced hard for more than half a year, instantly vanished.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The Great Sage Tower team leader roared in his heart.

Even his facial expression was a bit ferocious.

He racked his brains, high-profile entry, broadcasting threats, and scattering "mines," using various means to "paralyze" the Flame and Metal Trading Company warship that refused to leave, before spending a precious one-time 4th-ring concealment witchcraft tool to lurk near the Flame and Metal Trading Company warship and launch a surprise attack.

Just this, and he could only aggregate 9 teammates who had practiced together for a long time to cast spells together and work together to achieve suppression, but not break the defense.

However, that person achieved what their side of 10 people couldn't do with his own strength.

What the hell is this?

Could it be that we are all wastes?

The Great Sage Tower team leader didn't subconsciously suspect that Lin Ke was not a Level 2 wizard.

After all, the regulations of the Supreme Council were there, and no wizard organization dared to violate them.

The problem is...

Can Lin Ke really still be counted as a Level 2 wizard?

"Team Leader, what should we do?"

In the team, a senior Level 2 wizard asked.

With such a fierce person lurking on the side, no matter which wizard organization the other party belonged to, it would be very troublesome for the Great Sage Tower team to complete the mission of snatching the Saint's inheritance.

"Proceed according to the original plan."

The team leader took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and replied calmly, "Notify the warship, prepare the means to deal with Lin Ke Grande, listen to my instructions, and use them at any time."

"Lin Ke Grande?"

This senior Level 2 wizard was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Understood, I will notify immediately."

As the big boss of the Michelle District, how could the Michelle Great Sage Tower not pay attention to the rising stars of the major wizard organizations in the district?

This time snatching the Saint's inheritance, the Great Sage Tower was determined to win.

Preparing means in advance to deal with Lin Ke Grande, a Level 2 wizard who was known to have combat power comparable to a Level 3 wizard but actually far exceeded ordinary Level 3 wizards in the Great Sage Tower's evaluation system, was a very reasonable thing.

"I want to see if you are really worthy of the name!"

The Great Sage Tower team leader gritted his teeth and muttered.

Really wanted to go for the kill! (End of chapter)
