Chapter 689: Enemy Retreating
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The situation on the battlefield quickly changed.
Originally, the battle between cosmic battleships was basically a competition of who had stronger firepower and thick energy shields. Under normal circumstances, whichever side had more battleships and higher levels would have an absolute advantage. Moreover, the snowball of this advantage would quickly grow larger and larger, and it would be very difficult for the other party to make a comeback.
However, Chu Nan’s appearance could provide an extremely precise signal location for the Seres Security Company. He could even completely locate the same point as the enemy battleship. The difference was only ten meters, a distance that was completely ignored in the space station, causing the attacks of the Seres Security Company to always be completely accurate.
Most importantly, Chu Nan could completely break through the energy shield of the enemy battleship, allowing every attack to truly and effectively heavily injure it.
This was equivalent to a battle between two groups of people. Everyone held shields and armor and held spears. They competed to see whose shield and armor was more resistant. Whoever’s spear was sharper would win.
However, Chu Nan suddenly ran out and knocked off one of the shields. His armor was also stripped clean. In an instant, they lost all their defense and the battle naturally became one-sided.
Before long, with Chu Nan’s help, the cosmic pirate fleet had already lost three Star System-Grade Battleships and seven Stellar-Grade Battleships.
Although the loss of just ten battleships did not seem to be much in number compared to the huge fleet of more than a hundred spaceships in the cosmic pirate fleet, including the two Stellar-Grade battleships and one Star System-Grade battleship that had been destroyed previously, they had already lost a total of 13 large and medium-sized battleships.
To the entire fleet, these large and medium-sized battleships, especially Star System-Grade super battleships, were the main firepower support points. After losing these medium and large battleships, the attack power of the cosmic pirate fleet instantly decreased greatly, and the threat to the Seres Security Company’s fleet also decreased greatly.
With the pressure reduced, the Seres Security Company’s fleet could free up more energy to provide support to Chu Nan and the speed at which they destroyed the enemy fleet became faster and faster.
In the beginning, the cosmic pirate fleet did not pay enough attention to Chu Nan. Although the firepower attacking him was considered powerful, most of it was still focused on the Seres Security Company’s fleet.
When they continuously destroyed the battleship and finally recognized the huge threat Chu Nan posed to them, they wanted to focus their firepower on Chu Nan but discovered that they could not do anything to him.
This guy would not be much larger than a fly in space when driving a super mini spaceship, but he was much more annoying, dangerous, and more flexible than a fly.
In the beginning, the cosmic pirate fleet only used the firepower of the battleship to try and shoot him down. However, after realizing that this was not feasible, they sent small boats to surround Chu Nan from all directions.
However, this still did not work. Not only was the super small spaceship Chu Nan drove abnormally fast, but it was also ridiculously flexible. It could always make all kinds of unbelievable rolls and sudden stops in space.
If it was any other ordinary small pinnace pilot, he would probably not be able to endure it first.
However, Chu Nan relied on his powerful physical body which was equivalent to a Void Break Martial Artist to easily complete all kinds of actions. Coupled with his even stronger data ability, he could instantly calculate the dense trajectory of the other party’s attacks and easily dodge them.
Most of the time, the reaction in his mind was even faster than the A.I. of the super mini spaceship.
After playing with the enemy behind him for a while, Chu Nan had already flown to the vicinity of another Star System-Grade battleship. He activated the automatic driving mode of the super mini spaceship and opened the door to fly out.
Seeing that the pursuers’ attention had been attracted by the super mini spaceship and were crazily chasing after it, Chu Nan chuckled. His figure flashed and he quietly arrived below the Star System-Grade battleship above him and reached out to press on the transparent energy shield.
Five seconds later, several more particle beams shot over from the Seres Security Company’s fleet two light-seconds away and completely penetrated the Star System-Grade battleship that Chu Nan had slapped away. It was close to breaking.
This was already the last Star System-Grade battleship in the cosmic pirate fleet. Now that it had been destroyed, it immediately shattered the battle intent of the cosmic pirates.
All the battleships of the cosmic pirates seemed to have stopped for a moment. Then, many small battleships in the outermost area suddenly changed direction and flew wildly in the direction of the stargate.
A moment later, the remaining dozens of small and medium-sized battleships also adjusted their direction and flew towards the stargate in a mess.
Chu Nan casually glanced at it and immediately determined that with his speed, he definitely could not catch up to these cosmic battleships that were fleeing with all their might.
In the end, he was not a proper Heaven Control expert yet. His flying speed in space could not compare to these cosmic battleships for the time being.
However, this way, his mission was completed.
Chu Nan heaved a sigh of relief and opened his personal terminal to call back the super mini spaceship that had already flown far away.
As soon as he flew into the spaceship, the virtual screen of the central optical brain automatically opened, indicating that a message had been sent.
Chu Nan smiled and chose to answer the call. Dong Fang’s familiar face appeared on the virtual screen.
“Damn! Chu Nan, you actually did it!” Dong Fang had an unbelievable expression and shouted, “When did you become so strong? Why didn’t I know before? Damn, you actually hid it from your best friend. Are you asking for a beating?”
Chu Nan rolled his eyes at him.
“When did I hide it? I only broke through recently, okay? You said I’m asking for a beating? Hehe, do you believe that I won’t drag you into space and beat you up?”
“Beat your sister! Oh, no, this has nothing to do with Xiaoxi. I’ll hang you up! Alright, cut the crap. Hurry up and meet up with us. Although it’s all thanks to you that we dealt with those damned pirates, we still have to run quickly. Damn, we’re really screwed this time. When I return, I must convince the company’s board of directors to send more troops here to take revenge.”
Dong Fang gritted his teeth.
This was the first time he had been the person in charge of the company’s operations, and he had encountered such a failure, causing him to be extremely upset.
Mueller, who was beside him, wanted to say something but hesitated. He thought for a moment and patted Dong Fang’s shoulder, “Let’s talk about this when we get back. The board of directors should have other considerations.” After saying that, he turned to Chu Nan and smiled, “Mr. Chu Nan, you really have to generously help our company this time. If not for your help, we would probably have suffered heavy losses. When we return to the federation, the company will definitely thank you heavily.”
Chu Nan frowned and waved his hand.
“I’m mainly here because of Dong Fang, not because of your company’s reward.”
Mueller paused and understood that he had said something wrong. He looked at Dong Fang awkwardly.
Dong Fang waved his hand, “I know you’re mainly here for me, but you must take the reward you deserve. Otherwise, others will say that our company is ignorant. When we return, I’ll show the board of directors your credit in this incident and obtain the best reward for you.”
Just as Chu Nan was about to say something, he was interrupted by Dong Fang.
“Kid, don’t be so generous in front of me. Even if you don’t want it, you have to think about your parents and Xiaoxi. It’s always good to take some reward to buy something for them. For example, haven’t you always said that Xiaoxi wants to change to a new personal terminal, but your family has always been unwilling to buy it for her?”
Chu Nan could only nod helplessly.
Indeed, it was meaningless for him to be generous at this moment. Moreover, as Dong Fang had said, this was his reward in the first place. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.
“Alright, I…”
As soon as Chu Nan spoke, his expression suddenly changed and he looked up.
