King of the Stars [Rebirth]

Cannon fire poured around the body of the Lion's Tooth, and the explosion continued for a moment, even the inside of the hull was burning.The enemies finally slowed down, and once again launched a fierce attack on it.However, in such an extremely dangerous scene, there were no screams, no screams, no panic orders and no running crew members in this main battleship.On the contrary, with the bridge as the center, there was a strange silence in the cabin.

Vesal was still sitting on the captain's chair, not the kind of aristocrat or soldier sitting with a little pride, but a complete "sit deadlocked".The back is as straight as a stone sculpture, and both hands and feet are firmly placed where they should be placed, without any emotion or wavering.Like a clay puppet, staring at the screen in front of him.

"Holy mark... get it..." He kept muttering to himself, as if repeating something in his sleep.

No one issued an order, but the gunner's fingers kept moving across the console, carrying out violent and indiscriminate attacks.Except for a very small number of crew members manipulating the battleship, everyone else has fallen to the ground.Foaming at the mouth, limbs twitching, and blood oozing from some facial features.Vesal didn't care about those loyal subordinates, and stared at the screen with cold eyes covered in gray mist.It seems that he wants to pass through the crystal screen and break into another realm.

"Let the mecha troops retreat! The fleet increases its speed by one knot and arrives as soon as possible!" A shot pierced the directional turret, and the "Phantom" flashed, avoiding several death beams, and continued to rush towards the stern of the ship.

There was clearly something wrong with the main battleship, and it entered into an irrational and frenzied strafing.The naval guns fired continuously, without even a buffer, and didn't care about weapon overload or energy exhaustion.Like a mad bull, rampage, regardless of enemy or friend.Facing such a super weapon that can use dimension jumps, ordinary mechas have no power to fight back!

However, "Phantom" is not an ordinary mech.In just an instant, Yan Beichen controlled the mecha to approach the bottom deck, and the light gun was fully charged, piercing the outer deck like a bow full of sharp arrows.The several-meter-thick titanium-tritium alloy melted under the raging flames, exposing the densely packed pipes underneath.This is the connection part of the ship's stern engine, and it is also a key node for connecting the pulse engine and the hyperspace engine.As long as the hyperspace engine is destroyed, even if you have the "Dimensional Stone", it is impossible to tear the space again and perform a dimension jump!

However, the planned attack failed to take shape.When the mech touched the hull, Yan Beichen only felt something humming into his mind.Mental attack? ! The core of "Phantom" is induction metal, which is an excellent carrier for transmitting spiritual power.But he never thought that someone could launch a long-range mental attack on him through the hull of the ship!

This is by no means something that humans can do!

Like an insect caught by a spider's web, or a prey swallowed by a snake's kiss, Yan Beichen only felt that the intruding spiritual power had captured him firmly, sweeping his brain mercilessly, trying to swallow the shining spiritual core in Tianchi.This is the most critical part of a soldier, and it is also the basis for him to be able to control the "illusion".How could it be possible to let people intrude!

The sea of ​​energy in Yan Beichen's body boiled, and the powerful blood vessels surged, roaring and attacking the invading spiritual force!This is not the best way to fight mental power, but it is the only way to stimulate one's own potential!As if he didn't expect to be counterattacked, his mental strength shook for a while, arching the back of his neck like a poisonous snake, as if he would counterattack in the next instant, but a torpedo rushed ahead.

The torpedoes launched by the Stars hit the hull, and the shell peeled off, and the "Phantom" escaped from the confinement in a hurry.

"Your physical signs have fluctuated severely, what happened?" Little Campbell's voice came from next to my ear.

"Someone used a mental attack, in the Lion Tooth... No, it should be a kind of mind control!" Yan Beichen suddenly woke up, "Griffin!!"

There was an ominous silence in the communicator.

■

Griffin broke through another deck, and the mech let out a loud roar and fell to the ground.He has been unable to use those advanced skills.In fact, even controlling the mecha has become difficult.It seemed that a certain part of his spirit was separating from his body.

This feeling is a little weird.Griffin didn't stop, however.The Lion Tooth is more dangerous than I imagined. If the Dimensional Stone in the engine room is not completely removed, who knows what terrible things will happen.Therefore, stumbled, he manipulated the mecha and rushed towards the deeper deck.

The mecha passed another passage, and the engine room should be in front of it.Along the way, there were no obstacles, and Griffin didn't have the energy to look around carefully. However, when he saw the huge engine room and heat-insulated pipes in front of him, a discordant voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Where did everyone go?"

This is the main battleship of the Federation, and there must be at least dozens of engineers to maintain machinery and monitor equipment.But now, the place is empty, without a single person.

"Is this the Lion's Tooth?"

Another thought came to mind, Griffin's footsteps swayed, and the "Lion's Roar" faltered even more.No, this is indeed the Lion's Tooth, the engine room he was looking for, and he can already see the shining nuclear fusion reactor through the glass window.Next to the pile of extremely dangerous energy plates, there is a smaller shunt pipe, and in the pipe lies a blue crystal that is the size of a baby's fist.

They put warpstones on weapon drives.Griffin's heart was beating and beating loudly.Just one missile could easily hit the reactor and let the force of the nuclear explosion engulf the rock.But the energy of the explosion was too great, he had to get through an exit in advance...

Countless thoughts swirled wildly in his head, but "Lion Roar" didn't make a single move.Deep down, he always felt that something was not quite right.Something is going wrong.Why did he destroy this battleship?This is Visal's warship, and he wants to kill Visal.But this is also the flagship of the Deep Space Fleet, what about the people he wants to save?

Griffin shook his head violently.Want to get rid of this idea.However, another thought came to him in an instant, whispering softly.

You don't actually need to do this.Vissal has lost, all and all.As long as you rush to the bridge and take his life, you will be able to control the battleship smoothly.Your vengeance can be achieved with your own hands, and your glory cannot be stripped away.You will become the new master of the fleet and lead them to victory...

There was an alluring sweetness in that voice. The footsteps of "Lion Roar" swayed and turned half a step.That's right, as long as you rush back by yourself, the entire Lion Tooth is under your control.Griffin took a deep breath, his heart clenched slightly, bringing out an exciting pleasure.Of course he can go back, can deprive Vesal of all rights, and go back to where he should be.

Then what?Destroy the enemy and conquer everything!

The mech's footsteps stopped suddenly.Griffin gripped the joystick in his hand.enemy?conquer?

That mech, remember?

A haggard mecha flashed in his mind, the cold flames were like the cloak of death, the long light gun pierced his mecha belly and shattered his body.That nightmarish enemy, a powerful enemy who wants to kill him!

He wants to conquer it?win?

Fumbling with his fingers on the joystick, Griffin didn't act immediately, but looked at the engine room in confusion.What exactly is his goal?Kill Vissal?Destroy that mecha?To win?

Become the uncrowned king of the Oswald family!

This sentence was like a bolt of lightning, tearing Griffin's mind. He suddenly pressed the firing button, and the quadruple laser cannons spit out flames at the same time.With a bang, they hit the engine room in front of them.As if a certain unknown space was torn apart, everything in front of him began to collapse and became another look.

There were a lot of people lying on the ground, all in disorder, as motionless as corpses.In the flames of the explosion, the "Dimensional Stone" floated in mid-air, ready to move.It was different from what he had seen before. The crystal was not azure blue at all, but had a gray-blue dim light like some kind of marine animal.Around it, several nuclear reactors have long ceased operation, only spar, as if sucking energy, floating in the center of the engine room.

Griffin is no longer interested in exploring what is manipulating it.He pushed down on the control lever again, and all the torpedoes loaded on the Lion's Roar poured out.This is the engine room, the core that can cause a big explosion.But he has to destroy the things in front of him, this is not a product that should exist in this time and space!Go back to whatever dimension you came from!

■

"Explode a passage!" The light gun in Yan Beichen's hand spat out a cold light again.

"Your mecha can't touch the hull..." Little Campbell's voice was full of disapproval.

"Then I won't touch it! Blast it!"

The "Phantom"'s engine hummed, and the fireworks exploded like spreading wings.Without hesitation, Yan Beichen rushed forward.A beam of light appeared, passed through the chaotic rain of bullets, and landed on the deck in front of him with incomparable precision. The thick armor melted in an instant, and the haggard body of the mecha rushed into the cabin.

This is the bottom deck, which is the position closest to the engine room. In front of him, several walls have been damaged, revealing the scene ahead.I saw a "Lion Roar" standing directly in front of the engine room, all the embrasures on the side wings of the mecha were opened, and bullets rained down, shooting towards the engine room!

This will cause a nuclear explosion!Yan Beichen's pupils tightened suddenly, and the light gun in his hand froze, bursting out with dazzling brilliance.In the blink of an eye, "Phantom" tore through all the obstacles in front of it, and flew to hug the motionless gorgeous mecha that was staring ahead.

As if awakened by the impact, the mecha made a slight movement, as if it wanted to look up at his figure.Yan Beichen didn't give him this time: "Cut off the connection! Start the leap!"

The next moment, all the missiles hit the target, like the last stagnation before collapse, the air made a soft hiss, and immediately, deafening roar enveloped everything.In the flames of the explosion, the two mechs disappeared.
