Chapter 682: Chapter 676: Did You Pee Your Pants?
It could even be larger. Once flown under the belly of the enemy, it would feel like having an enormous weight overhead. With all channels quickly docking between the two spaceships, Finn Lewis and his team boarded the new spaceship immediately.
“Your Highness, welcome aboard the Aries-class warship. This warship has yet to be named — you may give it a name.” As soon as Caleb Shaw saw Finn Lewis, he was quick to bow and greet him with a smile.
“Let’s call it Luna Starfield then.” Finn didn’t even hesitate to name it after Luna Starfield, who had played a critical role in helping him escape from these people. So he decided to name his first warship after Luna Starfield.
“Hehe, thank you, Your Highness.” Luna Starfield’s voice immediately echoed in Finn’s ears.
Finn wave his hand, then asked, “Luna, take over the whole fleet. Are all of these controlled by battle robots?”
“Yes, Your Highness, they’re all under the control of battle robots, and the only human onboard is me,” Caleb Shaw shrugged.
“The Wren Clan is really stingy.” Finn muttered subconsciously. After understanding that the other party was reluctant to reveal their identity, he accidentally let slip their secret.
Sure enough, upon hearing Finn’s words, Caleb’s face froze immediately and, after a long pause, he spoke awkwardly: “How did Your Highness find out?”
“There are no secrets that are safe forever, don’t worry. Even though you all are reluctant to reveal yourselves, I won’t force it. This won’t affect our collaboration or future business.” Finn responded with a smile.
“Your Highness, it’s not that we didn’t want to disclose our identities, it’s just… this matter is indeed a bit awkward to discuss publicly. However, you can rest assured, like you said, it won’t affect our transactions,” Caleb hurriedly replied.
Finn followed Caleb to the bridge. Looking out of the large porthole, he saw warships continuously emerging and swiftly forming into neat battle formations. This sight gave rise to an overwhelming sense of excitement within Finn. With all the warships at his command, he could finally scare those pursuing him to death, Finn thought maliciously.
“All warships have been seized, the preparations for war have been made, all weapons are ready, Your Highness, you can give the command now,” Luna’s voice sounded.
“Luna, if you can handle it, it’s all up to you. My only demand is that when they warp out, not a single one escapes,” Finn said fiercely.
“I can do it, leave it to me.” Luna responded excitedly.
“All warships, launch space-time warp jammers. Use coordinates 123812, 2321214, 213457 as the base points and cover a radius of 400,000 kilometers in all directions.”
Upon Luna’s command, nearly a hundred warships suddenly emitted a bluish glow, and small ship-like devices were launched straight towards their predetermined targets.
“Prepare the Hammer of Destruction, range within 100,000 kilometers of the coordinates.” After the warp jammers were launched, Luna quickly issued a new command.
Curiously, Finn asked, “What is the Hammer of Destruction?” freewёbnoνel.com
A 3D hologram immediately popped up in the middle of the bridge, showing a strange weapon resembling a tapering cone. Based on Luna’s marked data, it was about 200 meters long with a tail area of about 300 square meters, and a sharp cone on the other end.
“The Hammer of Destruction — a fixed area defense weapon with a scanning range of 200,000 square kilometers. After detecting the location of the enemy’s warship, it will automatically fire. Its tail adopts the principle of spiral acceleration, almost reaching the speed of light in space. Theoretically, it can directly penetrate a planet. Its penetrability is extremely strong and can mainly destroy energy shields,” Luna quickly explained as the hologram of the Hammer of Destruction appeared.
Finn didn’t have first-hand experience of its power, but hearing that its speed could reach near-light speed and penetrate a planet made him understand the true power of this weapon.
“Space torpedoes, set to launch 50,000 per ship.” Luna issued another command.
“Activate the Sentinel Defense Net.” After all the settings were complete, Luna issued a new command. The defense net should obviously be a defense measure, but Finn was unsure of its exact functions. Although he knew that a spaceship had an energy shield, this didn’t seem to be it. Yet, he quickly learnt what it was when swarms of tiny octopus-like flying stuff burst forth from the spaceship, all heading towards the leading edge of the fleet.
These flying creatures were small, even smaller than the Hammer of Destruction. Upon reaching a distance of a few thousand meters from the ships, they quickly drew close to each other, swiftly creating a pale golden protective shield between them. The shields quickly interconnected, forming a protective shell around the external perimeter of the warships. The shields kept expanding and interconnecting, forming a defense that was far superior to the ships’ own shields, or Luna wouldn’t have activated it.
“Your Highness, this defense network isn’t like the spaceship’s own energy shield — it prevents not only energy attacks but also physical attacks. In theory, it can even withstand the attack from the Hammer of Destruction. Although enemies may not have a chance to use it, we should be prepared for the worst. Moreover, it not only defends but also augments the power and range of the main cannon when fired from inside the shield,” Luna quickly explained, seeming to know what Finn was thinking.
