Chapter 1017: Bite back
When she went to Guest Star City before, this was the closest Alyssa got to her starship.
It's just that it was a trap set by Carlos at that time, and there was only one Manta shuttle at the time, so it was impossible to catch up with the starship.
For a long time after that, Alyssa had actually completely lost the location of the starship, and it was probably getting further and further away.
But this time, the Swan can provide the ability to catch up with the starship, and nothing can make the starship escape.
Alyssa is very persistent, and so is Carlos next to her.
After all, in the past few days at the royalist base, he had also heard the whole story. When he learned that there was a Carlos on the starship, his tiger face almost turned into a bear.
"Pulse flight ended."
After breaking away from pulse flight, the outside on the bridge saw a normal cosmic background and faint starlight, but as long as you looked to the left, you could see a huge creation sailing normally.
Judging from the intuitive feeling of looking at it from the bridge, it is simply a mountain lying in front of you. Even if you keep a safe distance, you still have the illusion that you are about to hit it.
The huge engine light behind its butt is even more terrifying. If the Swan gets close, it won't need any cannons at all. The engine alone will be enough to cremate the Swan on the spot.
However, the other party did not find the Swan. This was a normal route, and there were many merchant ships nearby.
It's also unlikely that Carlos on the starship knew that Alyssa was chasing him in a corvette.
"It initiates the jump."
The huge starship twisted and then disappeared from the airspace.
An Yun immediately put on what looked like headphones, but they were worn on both sides of his temples.
The battleship itself has the ability to detect the jump position. This set of equipment allows Anyun to connect with the Swan's equipment to enhance the battleship's detection capabilities with psychic energy.
After waiting for two or three seconds, An Yun said:
"Found it."
Her fingers moved quickly on the panel and typed out a series of coordinates.
Alyssa identified the jump location, which was also a route that ships often passed by.
"The jump will begin in ten seconds."
The Swan's magic rudder began to charge, and as the countdown ended, the Swan's image became distorted. When the hazy white light on the bridge disappeared, the Swan came to another new star field.
But there was no sign of the starship.
"It jumped again, and I found new coordinates."
The other party didn't know that someone was chasing them, and they definitely wouldn't use gravity navigation after the jump to eliminate the traces of the jump.
This gave Alyssa confidence and confirmed that she was right to pursue her.
Another ten-second countdown continued, and the Swan continued its jump.
When they arrived at the place, they discovered that the starship had jumped again, and the Swan had no choice but to continue chasing.
The distance of each jump was not particularly long, but the jump route of the starship was very weird, as if it was sailing along the edge of the actual control area of the Red Maple Republic, and the number of jumps was really high.
Alyssa was confident from the beginning, but became more and more anxious.
Of course, the capacity of the Swan's energy storage pool cannot be compared with that of a starship, and the number and length of jumps it can make are completely incomparable. If it continues to maintain continuous jumps, the Swan will soon run out of energy. In order to ensure safety, it is usually necessary to retain energy that can jump at least 10 yal. Complete exhaustion means that the energy storage pool will be empty for a long time. If you encounter any trouble, you will not be able to run away.
Now the energy is approaching the red line, but the starship is still jumping continuously.
"Confirm the jump coordinates again."
An Yun looked back at Alyssa:
"Are we still chasing?"
Alyssa stared at the ship information and gritted her teeth:
"Chase, one last time. If you jump again, we won't chase you."
You definitely won't be able to catch up if you rush head-on. The most reasonable way is to make advance plans based on Eunice's intelligence, find the docking place of the starship and wait in advance.
But Alyssa was very unwilling, the opportunity was right in front of her, and she wanted to give it a last try.
The Swan then started to jump again according to the coordinates. After a few seconds, the white light that obscured the vision disappeared.
It was replaced by a beige beam, and
it looked a bit like the energy cannon of a battleship.
"Emergency avoidance!"
The attitude control nozzle of the Swan came into effect, forcibly raising the huge ship upwards.
The ultra-high temperature energy beam passed through the bottom of the Swan and probably hit the shield of the Swan. Captain On the display showing the entire ship's information on the table, the shield energy dropped by a large amount.
For a moment, Alyssa thought it was a counterattack launched by a starship, but she immediately realized that her starship would not be so weak. If she really wanted to counterattack, it should be a continuous cannon firing at the same time.
The sudden rise caused the Swan to tilt. Carlos, as the temporary helmsman, immediately lowered the bow of the ship again. Now the people on the bridge could see clearly what happened.
Countless light beams of different colors flashed alternately against the dark background of the universe. The dense engine light obscured the stars. Explosions and violent orange flashes occasionally passed through the glass of the bridge and were reflected in everyone's retinas.
They broke into a star field that was at war!
"We were fooled. We immediately sent out an identification signal and turned to leave the star field!"
Alyssa always thought that the starship should not have noticed that the Swan was following it. After all, it deliberately staggered the jump time and would not encounter each other.
But the other party guided the Swan to the star field where the war was ongoing, and there was no trace of the starship, so it must have been discovered.
Logically speaking, it is almost impossible to be discovered. Alyssa knows that there are no psykers on her starship, so it is unlikely that An Yun's detection will be discovered.
But the facts are before our eyes. This means that Carlos on the starship recruited another psyker or similar guy after Alyssa left. The result was that he reversely detected Anyun's move to detect the transition signal, and played false transition signal coordinates.
This operation is the same as the Swan's ambush near the prison not long ago, sending out a false signal. The only difference is that the false signal from the starship is a jump signal.
After being tricked, Alyssa no longer cared about scolding, her top priority now was to get out of this star field as soon as possible.
The two parties who were having a heated exchange of opinions obviously didn't care which side Alyssa, the sudden intruder, belonged to. Anyway, it was possible to beat up someone who was not one of them.
What's more, even if people ignore you, stray bullets can still be fatal.
So type out your identification information as soon as possible and run away quickly.
Alyssa is now like a hunter chasing a rabbit, chasing after a rabbit, and suddenly finds herself in the middle of the battlefield. Bullets are flying from both sides, and her brains are scattered on the floor. The two sides who have already fought are obviously not going to go. Wondering why there are so many people suddenly.
