Chapter 105: Smoke Signals Rising
Galaxy.
Within the territory of the Seventh Military District.
A large transport ship, twenty kilometers long and loaded with rare minerals, traveled through the vastness of space.
Destination: Planet A5698.
Beep beep beep…
"Warning, warning, unidentified flying object detected, the other party refuses to communicate."
"Warning, warning, unidentified flying object detected, the other party refuses to communicate."
The alarm began to sound continuously.
In the control room, which spanned over ten thousand square meters, all the staff panicked.
The massive display screen showed an unidentified flying object approaching from a distance of two hundred million kilometers that was refusing communication and even activating scanning interference.
This transport ship was merely a civilian space vessel.
Although it was equipped with the most advanced civilian scanner, it was far inferior to the Military’s scanners.
Under the other party’s scanning interference, they could barely identify that the unidentified flying object was one kilometer long, three hundred meters wide, and fifty meters tall.
"What are you panicking about? It’s just a pirate ship."
The captain rushed over upon hearing the news, scolding the terrified crew.
His face showed no sign of panic; in fact, there was an excited glint in his eyes.
He was a retired military officer who had served most of his life on battleships.
Before retiring, he had been the captain of a small destroyer.
In nearly fifty years, humanity had not engaged in any large-scale wars with surrounding races, but there had been constant minor skirmishes.
He had participated in many of these conflicts.
A lone pirate ship was hardly worth his concern.
"Captain, there is a military base nearby, only ten billion kilometers away. Should we send a distress signal?"
One of the communications officers looked at the captain.
"Not necessary!"
The captain waved his hand dismissively.
Although this transport ship was a civilian vessel, it was still a large spacecraft, with a defense system stronger than that of small warships.
Its attack system was comparable to about one-third of a small warship’s.
Even though the operators’ skills couldn’t compare to those of military ship operators, having the captain in command made defeating a pirate ship an achievable task.
After all, pirate ships relied on speed and attack.
Even the top pirate ships may have an attacking system on par with small warships, but their defense systems couldn’t compare to this transport ship.
Beep beep beep…
"Warning, warning, unidentified flying object detected, the other party refuses to communicate."
The alarm rang out again in the control room.
Captain looked at the massive screen and was horrified to discover that yet another suspected pirate ship had appeared within two hundred million kilometers.
In the blink of an eye, the third, fourth, fifth…
In an instant, more than twenty suspected pirate ships surrounded the transport vessel.
They were surrounded!
According to the speed displayed on the scanner, these suspected pirate ships seemed to be top-level pirate ships, each one about a kilometer long.
"Send a distress signal, immediately contact the military base for help!"
"Activate the Defense Systems, engage the energy shield at 50% strength."
"Increase speed to 60%, heading 15°26°, prepare to accelerate to 100% to evade attacks!"
Captain could not understand how there could be over twenty of these top-level pirate ships in this part of the galaxy, given that the largest pirate group usually only had a dozen such ships.
However, he had no time to ponder this; he could only rely on his instincts and experience to prepare for defense.
…
One hundred light-years away.
AC7521 Unmanned Planet.
Desolate and cold, with frequent volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
The entire planet had only one prison and research facility that spanned over three million square kilometers.
This prison was one of the three top-level fierce beast holding centers in the Seventh Military District.
Inside, it housed over one hundred thousand fierce beasts above level 90.
Level 90 fierce beasts possessed the terrifying ability to destroy small space battleships.
Those at level 100 could even destroy medium-sized battleships, only large battleships could defeat them.
The scale of this prison, holding over one hundred thousand fierce beasts above level 90, was unimaginable.
It was also equipped exceptionally well.
Not only did it have over a hundred of the human federation’s most advanced intelligence mainframes, but it also boasted the strongest Defense Systems.
Three billion kilometers away, there was a large military base of the Seventh Military District, which housed an entire fleet.
Should the top fierce beasts in the prison riot, they could quickly be deployed to suppress them.
Beep beep beep…
"Warning, warning, unidentified space battleship invasion detected, ground Defense Systems activated!"
"Warning, warning, unidentified space battleship invasion detected, all fierce beast control zones activated!"
"Warning, warning, unidentified hackers detected invading the system, counter-intrusion systems activated!"
"Warning, warning, invasion detected, all personnel please retreat to the core safety shelter!"
Suddenly, the alarms blared in the prison and research facility, echoing through the halls.
In space, dozens of decommissioned small space battleships and transport ships converted into warships were heading towards the planet.
A large number of fighter jets, measuring tens or even hundreds of meters, flew out from the transport ships, constantly changing their forms to evade attacks from the ground Defense Systems, accelerating towards the prison.
…
Seventy light-years away.
Planet A6987.
The federal headquarters suddenly faced an assault from over ten thousand well-equipped rebels, including more than a thousand mechs.
All officials, including the planet’s governor, were captured.
One hundred and twenty light-years away.
A space vessel carrying over fifty thousand passengers encountered an attack and hijacking by a pirate ship.
Sixty light-years away…
…
The human federation is divided into fourteen military districts.
The Seventh Military District guards the midsection of the galaxy, covering a range of one hundred thousand light-years long, eight thousand light-years wide, and four thousand light-years high.
At the same time, in the central location of the Seventh Military District, hundreds of varying attacks erupted.
The entire central region was thrown into chaos, with military division headquarters in disarray as major military bases urgently mobilized.
…
At a small military base, space battleships docked.
Apart from a fleet of medium and small battleships, only one Large Battleship remained under repair.
The other three Large Battleships had been urgently deployed to suppress the life planets that were captured by the rebels.
A transport ship flew toward the Large Battleship.
Captain, who remained with the warship, immediately gave the order to open the battleship’s landing platform for the transport ship to dock.
At the same time, a sudden internal conflict erupted among the crew and operators of the warship.
Nearly half of the crew and operators quickly drew their Laser Guns and shot their comrades nearby.
From the transport ship, nearly a thousand internal traitors from humanity rushed out, beginning to replace the fallen crew and operators.
The personnel now reached a level that could barely allow the space battleship to operate.
Captain then bypassed the intelligence system, forcibly unlocked the operating system, and issued the command for the Large Battleship to take off.
In normal circumstances, this would be absolutely impossible.
Because starting a Large Battleship requires authorization from the military division headquarters, the battleship intelligence, and the Captain, all three being essential.
However, the repair situation of the space battleship was an exception.
Without authorization from the military division headquarters or the battleship intelligence, it could still unlock most of the operating systems under the pretext of testing the warship’s performance, except for the attack system and space jump system.
The Large Battleship shot up into the sky rapidly, disregarding the division headquarters’ questions and warnings, speeding off into the vastness of space.
The Hackers worked urgently to breach the intelligence system, fully unlocking the space jump system.
In the space beyond the base’s monitoring range, fifty-two Angelic Beings waited.
These Angelic Beings, the lowest rank, were four-winged silver-winged Angels capable of traversing space.
The highest rank was a ten-winged silver-winged Angel, one of the top combat powers in the entire Angelic Being race, second only to the golden-winged Angels.
Additionally, there were two eight-winged silver-winged Angels.
