Just as everyone revealed surprised expressions, something that surprised them even more happened.
Behind the clouds, countless low-altitude shuttles also broke through the clouds and caught up to the war fortress in front of them, surrounding it and attacking continuously.
However, when these attacks smashed into the energy shield outside the war fortress, they could only cause seven-colored patterns. They could not penetrate the shield at all and cause any damage to the war fortress.
Costa looked at the monitoring screen in shock, not understanding what was going on.
According to the information from the Silisus Chamber of Commerce, the enemy’s trap included two war fortresses. Then, if one appeared in front of him at this moment, logically speaking, it was impossible for there to be anything else other than the enemy.
However, what was going on with the surrounding low-altitude shuttles attacking this war fortress?
Could it be that those guys had internal strife at such a time?
“Captain, what do we do now?” The subordinate turned around and asked Costa with a strange expression.
Costa frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Contact the Silisus Chamber of Commerce and ask them to confirm the identity of these guys. If these guys are…”
“Captain! That war fortress sent an optical signal. It seems to be using the Morse code…” The subordinate cried out in surprise and interrupted Costa again.
“Huh?” Costa looked incredulous, “How can a group of primitive people from the Sapphire Star Field know the Morse code? Are you mistaken?”
“No… I’m not wrong. This means…” The subordinate suddenly stood up and pointed at the screen in front of him in shock, “This… this…”
“Your head!” Costa rushed over and slapped him away before leaning closer to observe the scene on the virtual screen.
On it, a huge light source was continuously flickering according to a certain pattern on the outer wall of the war fortress that was being besieged.
Costa looked at it for a moment and immediately confirmed that this was indeed the ancient and original information transmission method that was the most known and famous in the regional federation—the Morse code.
The meaning of this Morse code was very simple. It was only repeating a sentence.
“I… am… Dong… Fang…”
“I’m Dong Fang?” Costa suddenly straightened his body and almost could not believe his eyes.
There was only one possibility why this war fortress would send out such a signal. Dong Fang was currently in that war fortress. What was even more surprising was that he had actually controlled this war fortress and made it send out such a signal!
“Immediately order everyone to rescue that war fortress with all their might and kill all the annoying flies beside it!” Costa waved his hand and immediately ordered loudly.
The deputy captain beside him grabbed Costa. “Captain, this might be a trap.”
“Trap my ass!” Costa was furious, “What do these primitive people know about the Morse code? Dong Fang must be up there!”
“But this is impossible… How can he control an enemy’s war fortress?”
Costa’s expression froze.
Indeed, Dong Fang had clearly fallen into the hands of the enemy. Even if he had the ability to retain some resistance, how could he be powerful enough to control the other party’s huge war fortress?
However, this thought only flashed through Costa’s mind. He said sternly, “So what if it’s a trap? At the very least, this means that there’s news of Dong Fang. Kids, pay attention! Go!”
“Yes!”
Looking at the surrounding subordinates who were full of energy and fighting spirit, the deputy captain smiled bitterly and shook his head, no longer persuading them.
These guys had been holding it in for so many days. Now that they finally had a chance to fight, they were clearly unwilling to miss it.
Moreover, it did not matter even if this was a trap. It was only to guard against the attack of the other party’s war fortress at any time.
Although the attack of the war fortress was powerful, it always took a period of time to prepare. As long as one paid attention, they could predict it and it was very easy to prevent it in advance. It was not a big threat.
Moreover… was this really a trap?
The deputy captain looked at the group of low-altitude shuttles surrounding the war fortress and was puzzled.
If this was considered an act, wasn’t it too realistic?
…
“Damn, are these guys from the Earth Federation all idiots?” Seeing the huge Earth Federation Fleet actually fly towards the war fortress, Bruce could not help but curse.
There was clearly a war fortress on the other side. These guys from the Earth Federation actually dared to rush over. They were clearly courting death!
Although Bruce could not understand why the war fortress opposite was being surrounded by a group of low-altitude shuttles, he did not know any Morse code. Of course, he would treat this as a trap set by the enemy and deliberately lure them to rush up.
If it was really a trap, the fleet of the Earth Federation would definitely suffer heavy casualties later.
However, what happened next made Bruce widen his eyes again.
After the group of low-altitude shuttles of the Earth Federation rushed up, they shuttled back and forth in the air like a group of bees, displaying the coordination and discipline of a swarm. It was dazzling. It did not take long for them to beat down the dozens of low-altitude shuttles besieging the war fortress, leaving not a single one behind.
Seeing this scene, Bruce felt a chill in his heart.
As a high-level member of the Silisus Chamber of Commerce, he more or less knew the inside story of the meeting between the five great factions of Nightclub City and the Earth Federation’s caravan.
It was said that in many commercial meetings, the representatives of the Earth Federation’s Chamber of Commerce made many requests that were very overboard in the eyes of local Chamber of Commerce like them, causing a lot of resentment. As a result, many people in the Silisus Chamber of Commerce even clamored to teach these damned Earthlings a lesson and let them understand whose territory this was.
However, now that he saw the performance of this Earth Federation Fleet, Bruce was surprised to discover that the other party’s combat strength was much higher than he had imagined!
He was certain that even if he included all the low-altitude armed forces of the Silisus Chamber of Commerce and the other four factions, they were still not a match for this Earth Fleet!
When he recalled that there was an even larger space fleet parked in the outer space of Planet Leppler, the chill in Bruce’s heart deepened.
These Earthlings clearly did not have good intentions. On the surface, they sent such a powerful armed force to follow this time as a long-distance guard, but in fact, they probably had the intention to attack directly if there was a disagreement.
With their powerful strength, no local faction in Nightclub City could fight them. They would only be easily suppressed.
If it really came to that, it would really be a disaster for the local forces, including the Silisus Chamber of Commerce.
While these thoughts spun in Bruce’s mind, the three low-altitude shuttle brigades led by Costa had already completely eliminated the annoying flies around the war fortress and surrounded it in an organized formation.
Seeing their actions, Bruce was puzzled.
Even if the combat strength of this Earth Fleet exceeded his imagination, what they had now was only a low-altitude shuttle after all. Even if the weapons and equipment on it were extraordinary, it was impossible for them to do anything to the war fortress.
If they surrounded it like this, wouldn’t they be beaten up by that war fortress?
In the next moment, Bruce widened his eyes again.
Seeing that the low-altitude shuttle brigade of the Earth Federation was approaching, not only did the war fortress not attack, it even took the initiative to remove the energy shield that enveloped the outside and let the low-altitude shuttle brigade approach.
After a while, an entrance opened outside the war fortress and a group of people appeared near the exit.
Bruce glanced over and was immediately surprised.
Among this group of people, one of them was Chu Nan who he had just abandoned. The other person he was more familiar with was the representative sent by the Silisus Chamber of Commerce to participate in the small but important private meeting yesterday, Proyo!
