A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 865

Chapter 865: Chapter 607: Melee Chapter 865: Chapter 607: Melee Anyone could see that there was something clearly wrong with this Star Spirit warship. Therefore, Duanmu Huai asked the Night Guards to divide into two groups to investigate the rear and the left side, while he, along with Ogis, Anhe Ma Li, and Lumiaire, headed towards the direction of the bridge.

Duanmu Huai was still wearing his Power Armor and held the Thunder Warhammer at the forefront, with Ogis as usual perched on his shoulder. An, clad in N7 Armor, Mary, and Lumiaire followed behind. An, of course, did not carry a weapon, while Mary was different this time–she took a weapon–all-black and resembling a revolver with a sight attached below the barrel.

This was the Bomb Gun that Duanmu Huai had requested from Cade No. Six–Hayatsuki.

By the way, the Guardians were having a pretty good time. Coordinated by the Tribunal and an unfortunate Merchant Voyager, the Guardians started working as mercenaries; in fact, they indeed had a market. Worlds invaded by Demons, worlds invaded by Orcs, and worlds that had played with The Evil Intelligence until they played themselves to death… Although Duanmu Huai led the Tribunal Fleet to eliminate the primary threats in these worlds, this didn't mean that the worlds were free of trouble.

The Guardians' job was like that of a janitor. Under the coordination of the High Tower Council, they would accept mercenary tasks in those worlds and thereby earn income.

After all, the indestructible nature of the Guardians was quite popular, and those planet worlds, in need of revitalization, also needed manpower. In fact, according to the Merchant Voyager, these several world planets seemed to already have plans for long-term dealings, as everyone was connected by the Tribunal, making interaction easier.

And for that merchant, having a fixed trade route was naturally a boon.

Of course, Duanmu Huai was pleased to hear about it, but he had no intention of intervening; after all, the Tribunal had only one task, and Duanmu Huai had never thought about becoming a political entity that ruled worlds–after all, ruling a world and carrying out Tribunal missions were not the same.

By the way, Mary's marksmanship was really…strong.

Yes, strong, not accurate.

The reason was simple: her shooting wasn't aimed at individuals–had mentioned before that the Golden Pupil could see through all the motion and trajectories of objects, so during training, Mary aimed at where the target would eventually move to. For example, if someone jumped up to attack Mary, she wouldn't shoot at the enemy in the air after dodging; instead, she would aim at a spot on the ground where the enemy would land just in time to meet the bullet…

Well, it's not about her accuracy; it's about you being precise when you catch it, that's what it means.

In previous simulation battles, what Duanmu Huai saw gave him this impression–it didn't seem like Mary was killing enemies, but rather that the enemies were voluntarily delivering themselves to the muzzle… It was as if Mary fired at a spot where initially there was no one, and then suddenly an enemy would crawl out from a corner, and voluntarily present his head to be blown away by Mary's shot…

Tsk, tsk, tsk, the power of the Golden Pupil is terrifying indeed.

This was also why Duanmu Huai gave the Bomb Gun to Mary. Bomb Guns had great firepower but were relatively slow, and Mary's method of attacking meant she didn't need to care about how fast the opponent was–as long as she aimed at the right spot, the enemy would end up hitting the target themselves.

The reason Duanmu Huai gave her a Guardian weapon instead of a Bomb Gun was simple: the recoil from a Bomb Gun, from a single shot, would be enough to shatter Mary's arm into pieces; that thing wasn't meant for average humans to use.

“However…how should I put this…”

Walking down the corridor and looking at the scenery around, Mary couldn't help but sigh.

“This warship really has that science fiction vibe of alien warships…”

The streamlined decorations, the shining blue glow, and the floating spheres–all seemed more sci-fi to Mary than anything she had seen in science fiction movies.

“Eh? Don't the warships of the Tribunal have it?”

Hearing Mary speak, An curiously inquired.

“Uh…the warships of the Tribunal feel more like cathedrals to me…”

Mary couldn't help but give a wry smile. The Tribunal's warships, grand and imposing, indeed carried an indescribable majesty, but they felt more like cathedrals to Mary. If it weren't for seeing the universe and stars outside the window, one would hardly think they were on a warship.

“But this warship is really quiet. Are there really no people on board?”

“Or they might be occupied with other things… Lumiaire, have you found anything?”

Duanmu Huai turned to look at the girl beside him, who was currently placing her hand on the wall. At the same time, streams of electronic light flashed through her eyes.

“Alert, lockdown, high alert, contamination… Alien bugs have boarded this warship.”

“And then they started fighting with the Star Spirits, right? That is easy to handle.”

Hearing Lumiaire's report, Duanmu Huai immediately guessed what had happened on the warship. Clearly, Alien bugs had invaded the ship, and the enemy's forces were strong enough that the Star Spirits had to battle them hard. Whether the systems were damaged or neither side cared to notice, the arrival of the Tribunal had not drawn their attention.

This also explained why the Star Spirit warship was drifting aimlessly. Since it was infected by Alien bugs, the ship certainly wouldn't return to its home planet until the bugs were completely eradicated, as that would be like leading the enemy back to base.

So those idiots in sci-fi films who, because the ship was infected by aliens, desperately headed to Earth, each and every one of them were the prime culprits in the destruction of humanity. Any slightly conscious being would opt for self-destruction on the spot.

“Can you pinpoint their location?”

“Right ahead, in the hibernation chamber. The Alien bugs' intrusion has awakened the slumbering Star Spirit Warriors, and they are currently at a standoff in the hibernation chamber.”

“Very well.”

Hearing Lumiaire's response, Duanmu Huai gripped his War Hammer tightly.

“Good, take care of both sides at once.”

After all, to the Tribunal both were enemies.

Guided by Lumiaire, the group quickly arrived at the dormancy chamber at the center of the Warship–During Star Spirit voyages, most of the Star Spirit Soldiers would choose to hibernate to reduce energy consumption. However, now that Alien bugs had burrowed into their Warship, there was naturally no time left for these Star Spirit Warriors to sleep.

“Is this the place?”

“Yes.”

“Good, open the door.”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's command, Lumiaire reached out to the control panel beside her, and the next moment, the originally sealed door instantly opened. Then, with War Hammer in hand, Duanmu Huai charged in like a raging rhinoceros!

At this moment, the dormancy chamber was in complete disarray. One could see a large number of Alien bugs, Thorn Snakes, and other monsters fighting fiercely against Star Spirit Soldiers wielding Light Blades. However, none of this concerned Duanmu Huai, who rushed into the battlefield with his War Hammer and smashed it down on the enemy in front of him!

“Boom!!”

With Duanmu Huai's strike, a Thorn Snake was smashed into pulp. He then swung his War Hammer backhandedly, hitting the chest of the Star Spirit Warrior who was battling the Thorn Snake, sending him flying against the wall. A flash of light passed over the warrior's body and then disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, other Night Guards charged in after him, then they lifted their Bomb Guns and mercilessly opened fire on both sides.

The sudden Chaotic Intrusion on the battlefield took the dueling Alien bugs and Star Spirits by surprise. The bug swarm, being thick-headed, attacked whoever dared to trouble them, thus quickly, some bugs broke off and rushed towards the Tribunal side. Meanwhile, the Star Spirits weren't so rash. After all, their arrival had diverted some of the bug swarm's attention, so the Star Spirit Warriors immediately tried to retreat, seizing the opportunity.

But the Tribunal wouldn't give them that chance. To them, whether it be Alien bugs or Star Spirits, all were Aliens, and killing them was the answer!

“Dadadadadada!!!”

The Bomb Gun roared, firing a storm of bullets that shredded everything in front of it. Neither the Alien bugs' shells nor the Star Spirit Warriors' shields could stand against the bombardment of the Bomb Gun–they broke as easily as tofu, easily penetrated, exploding, and then dissipating.

Although some Alien bugs attempted to charge and Attack, facing these approaching foes, Night Guards were quick to raise the spinning chainsaws at the bottom of their Chainsaw Guns, slicing the Alien bugs into pieces.

“Who are these people?”

The Star Spirits, forced to react and counterattack, were also puzzled. These sudden Outsiders didn't seem like Star Spirits or Alien bugs, and even to call them typical Cosmic Pirates didn't quite fit–they possessed firepower powerful enough to suppress both Star Spirits and Alien bugs and didn't fear close-combat attacks from Alien bugs at all. They were orderly and well-trained, clearly a regular army.

But what was going on with them?

Why did they start attacking both enemies and friends upon arrival?

We must find a way to stop them!

The Star Spirits communicated with each other while contemplating tactics. The enemy's combat power was formidable. Luckily, the enraged Alien bugs had drawn part of the mysterious army's attention, which prevented the Star Spirits from being immediately overwhelmed. If not for the bugs engaging the enemy in their stead, the Star Spirits might have been completely crushed by now.

“Leave it to me, I'll take a hostage and force them to stop!”

At that moment, a Star Spirit offered its suggestion, having noticed that behind those tall Steel Warriors, there stood a few individuals more slender than themselves. Although it was unclear whether those few were commanders or something else, the protective demeanor of the surrounding Guards indicated that these individuals must be of great importance.

As long as the opponent could be subdued, they should be able to find out their identity and purpose!

With that thought, the Star Spirit Warrior suddenly raised his hands and, at the next moment, several lifelike Star Spirit Soldier illusions appeared, charging towards the Guards. Seeing these Star Spirit Soldiers, the Guards urgently shifted their gun barrels to attack them.

Now's my chance!

As the Guards shifted their focus to the illusions, the Star Spirit Warrior suddenly vanished into thin air, then reappeared near the illusions in front of him. With another advance, he darted forward, taking advantage of the cover from the illusions and heading straight towards the rear!

Got you!

At the same moment after the last blink, the Star Spirit Warrior failed to notice that one of the girls had turned her head to look at him–her golden eyes shimmering with a dazzling light.

Then, the girl raised her weapon and pulled the trigger.

“Bang, bang, bang!!!”

With a flash of fire erupting from Hayatsuki's pitch-black Gun muzzle, three bullets were promptly fired, and at the same time, the Star Spirit Warrior's figure emerged out of nowhere, right in front of the bullets.

The next moment, the bullets burst through the Star Spirit Warrior's Shield, obliterating his head.
