Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy (Part 20) Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy (Part 20) The man with a hooked nose carefully watched the video that had been played, his complexion turning ashen.

He distinctly saw that the energy shield on the Star Eagle had flickered off for an instant. Because the speed was too fast, to the naked eye, it seemed like just a flicker.

And in that instant when the energy shield turned off, eight small mini combat Mecha were ejected.

The speed at that moment was almost close to the speed of light, so it was no wonder they hadn’t seen it.

“What should we do, sir? Should we pursue them?” someone asked cautiously from below.

“With a velocity nearing the speed of light, even if the Mecha withstood most of the pressure, the remaining stress is not something ordinary people can bear,” the man with a hooked nose said coldly, “Situ Jin is likely among those Mecha.”

“But…” the subordinate who had spoken earlier said with a troubled face, “Eight different directions, we simply can’t determine which one to chase. And once we disperse our forces, we have no way of breaking through the defenses of the Star Eagle.”

“Crack.” The man with a hooked nose crushed the cup in his hand.

“Curse Situ Jin.” He had never imagined that Situ Jin would be willing to take such a great risk.

Although these Mecha had momentarily escaped, there were numerous dangers in interstellar space. To live safely, one needs both strong capabilities and good fortune.

Damn it!

The man with the hooked nose felt extremely troubled. He hesitated within himself: if Situ Jin was among those Mecha, to be safe, he should send a warship in every direction to pursue and kill them.

But what if this was all just a distraction, and Situ Jin was actually still on the Star Eagle? Subtracting eight warships, five first-class warships, thinking of breaching the defenses of the Star Eagle was like a fool’s dream.

“Contact the Master for me!” The man with a hooked nose still couldn’t make up his mind. If he ended up making the wrong decision, he feared that the wrath from above would descend entirely upon his own head.

Though letting the Master make a decision showed some incompetence on his part, at the very least, he wouldn’t have to take the risk.

It had to be said, Gu Shengyin was very right in her prediction. She was gambling on her luck, betting that those trying to kill her wouldn’t have the audacity; she won the bet.

By the time the man with the hooked nose contacted the Master and a decision was reached to pursue, they had already had plenty of time to conceal themselves.

…

When Gu Shengyin opened her eyes once more, she found herself drifting in interstellar space.

There was some soreness in her body, and her bones creaked with every movement she made, but other than that, there were no major issues. Gu Shengyin concluded that the others could also withstand this level of pressure; as long as they remained undetected by pursuers or didn’t encounter any bad luck like black holes, there generally wouldn’t be any serious problems.

She looked around carefully, observing the surroundings, then headed off in a certain direction.

She didn’t dare to open communications for fear that the enemy had activated scanning and might lock onto her communication signal. Doing so would be akin to exposing herself under their watchful eyes.

Fortunately, she was still able to roughly discern her direction and walked toward it, not likely to go far astray.

When the Crown Prince received the news, it was already noon the next day.

He set down the teacup in his hand and said sternly, “What did you say? The Star Eagle has been besieged by a cosmic terrorist force, and Admiral Situ has lost contact?”
