third chapter
"What's wrong?" Allen was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted, "Someone attacked the hull?"
Pei Yao nodded and quickly opened the communication device to contact the captain. After a moment of communication connection, the communication was successful. After a loud electric current, the captain over there was anxiously saying: "Major General Pei Yao! There are unidentified people attacking our starship! Oh my God... how is it possible? In order to escort His Highness Allen, the route was blocked two weeks ago! How did they come... Who is it..."
"Tell me the point!" Pei Yao interrupted the captain's words sternly, "Did the other party contact us? Have the conditions been issued?"
After the captain was scolded by Pei Yao, Fan calmed down a little and paused: "No, I have contacted them, but the enemy did not respond. God... they are not accepting them at all! They are still attacking!"
"Keep the three-layer protective cover and close all unnecessary energy consumption!" Pei Yao took a deep breath, "Change the route, change the direction and go to Victoria Space Lane, and immediately contact the corps stationed in Victoria Space Lane to respond! Speed!"
The captain nodded and said happily after a moment: "The Victorian garrison has replied to me! They have come here!"
Pei Yao was not at all relieved when he heard this. Instead, his brows frowned even tighter and ordered in a deep voice: "Send as many personnel as possible to protect the control system, and never allow the enemy to invade, absolutely."
Allen felt Pei Yao's mental uneasiness and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Just hold on until the rescue... Isn't that enough?"
Pei Yao closed the communication and shook his head gently: "At the current speed, it will take at least half an hour to get Victoria's rescue. It is fatal to delay the interstellar fire exchange for one minute, let alone this half hour is also ideal."
Allen said impatiently: "Then open fire with them, the Pearl is also armed!
Pei Yao frowned: "If you fire with them, you have to remove two layers of protection, which will only damage our hull faster, and the Pearl's armed forces are not good at all. Your Highness... I'm sorry for being rude."
Pei Yao took off his communication device, pulled Alan's hand and took his replacement. Alan looked at Pei Yao in confusion. Pei Yao paused and explained softly: "This route was protected two weeks ago. The captain was caught off guard because he was careless... He thought no one could get close. The enemy was obviously prepared. If they dared to exchange fire at this time, it means that they were sure that the Pearl would not persist in the rescue."
Allen's heart was terrified, and Pei Yao's voice was still stable: "They did not mention conditions and refused to establish a dialogue with us. This is not the usual way for star pirates."
Allen looked at Pei Yao's communication device on his wrist with a complicated expression and hesitated: "You mean..."
"I hope they are going to catch them alive... Please go to the West End immediately. I had asked the captain to summon everyone to the East End just now. I took His Highness's communication device to stay in the central area. If the Pearl was unfortunately controlled by the enemy before the Victorian garrison arrived, the Western End would be the last place they searched." The enemy knew the Pearl very well. If they were coming for Allen, the signal of Allen's communication device should have been located by them. Pei Yao debugged the Allen's communication device on his wrist and took a deep breath and looked at Allen, "No matter what, please insist on waiting for the Victorian garrison."
"You... are you going to use me as bait?!" Allen looked at Pei Yao in disbelief and said silently, "You..."
Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, then understood and laughed: "Do you think I will protect myself?"
Allen was silent. I have to say that for a moment just now, he did think that Pei Yao would hand him over to the other party to save his life.
"I hope that after this battle, Your Highness can seriously consider what I said just now." Pei Yao smiled regretfully, "And... when I swore to you two months ago... I really wanted to protect you for the rest of my life."
Allen's throat surged, and after a moment, he whispered: "I will, you... try to survive."
Pei Yao saluted Alan. Alan hesitated for a while and turned to the west area. Pei Yao opened the communication room and used the communication system provided by the starship to talk to the captain.
As Pei Yao expected, the enemy was indeed going to catch them alive. After ten minutes of bombing, they consumed the Pearl to build a protective cover and lost more than half of the energy consumption, and began to turn fire. They attacked the Pearl's control system. Pei Yao personally established a protective wall to defend their attacks again and again. However, a few minutes later, the enemy seemed to be furious and started a new round of bombing. The captain did not maintain and update the protective cover in time. Pei Yao only felt the hull shock, and then another harsh warning reminder... the other party had already boarded the ship...
The red dots representing the enemy on the entertainment room control flashed and slowly approached like the central area. Pei Yao quickly turned on Allen's communication device and tried to amplify the signal. Sure enough, the other party paused and began to surround him.
Pei Yao pulled out the photon gun at his waist and released his spiritual body at the same time. In the fifth dimension, a huge golden dragon slowly meandered around Pei Yao's thin and straight body, quietly waiting for the person who was about to die.
...
In the empty West End, Allen's face was pale. He had been with Pei Yao for too long just now. The pheromones of the powerful sentry filled him, making him in pain. Allen tried his best to calm himself down... He turned over countless thoughts in his mind. There was no doubt about the other party coming for him, but who could it be? Emperor? Not to mention... Although he really wanted to solve his own trouble, if he did it, he should have died silently on Apollo in a few years.
Anthony?
Alan pursed his thin lips slightly. No, he had just taken office and had limited military power and connections. He should not be able to make such a big noise. Who else could it be? Is that woman? In order to make his son Anthony no longer have any worries? That woman...
Countless figures flashed through Allen's mind, Anthony, Emperor Auston, Anthony's mother, Mrs. Jenny, Barke, Pei Yao, Queen Marian... Allen felt a splitting headache. Something was growing in his brain. It was constantly absorbing Allen's physical strength, making him exhausted and irritable. Allen kept taking deep breaths, trying to calculate the time, and trying to calm himself down.
Pei Yao said that it would be enough to last half an hour, and half an hour would be enough. How long has it been now... Allen could hardly see the numbers on the communication device on his wrist. After a while, he calculated that it had been twenty minutes...
Alan felt the feeling of living like a year for the first time. He tried to think of something else, the gentle and loving Queen Marian, the beautiful and elegant Mrs. Jenny, the serious Balk grandfather, and... the handsome Major General Pei Yao...
Allen always thought he was very accurate in judging people, but this time he made a mistake.
Although it is a bit incredible, Pei Yao is indeed a real soldier.
Another wave of dizziness came, and Allen gritted his teeth and couldn't help but start cursing Emperor Auston again. If it weren't for the damn rules, if it weren't for his stubbornness and selfishness, he wouldn't have been in such a mess, and Pei Yao wouldn't have been appointed to Anthony's hypocrite...
When he was unconscious, Allen saw a red light in a trance. Allen tried to open his eyes wide and found that it was the holographic alarm light on the side of the console that was spinning. Allen woke up a lot in an instant, and the other party invaded the West End!
Alan held a photon gun tightly, waiting for the other party to commit suicide when invading the western area. Soon, the air exchanger behind him suddenly moved abnormally. Alan tensed his nerves. Pei Yao had blocked all channels after confirming that he had arrived in the western area. The other party invaded here through the supply and discharge system! Alan held the photon gun tightly in his right hand, just waiting for someone to appear and give him a fatal blow!
The person behind the air exchanger suddenly rushed out and before Alan could press the trigger, he flashed behind Alan, and grabbed Alan's photon gun with one hand and snatched Alan's photon gun.
"you……"
"Shh..." Pei Yao's breathing was a little unsteady, and he paused for a moment and said slowly, "They have come here. I have exploded several roads. They can't get through for a while. There are still five minutes left, as long as they can delay for another five minutes."
Alan frowned and turned to look at Pei Yao. She saw Pei Yao covered in blood. Alan was shocked: "Are you injured?"
Pei Yao's face turned pale due to excessive blood loss. He nodded slightly when he heard this: "I just got shot, but fortunately... the wound was not big."
Alan subconsciously looked at the giant dragon wrapped around Pei Yao. A hole in the golden dragon's abdomen was opened, and blood was still flowing out. Alan looked at Pei Yao's abdomen and said before he could speak, "I don't have time to deal with these... Please listen to me."
Pei Yao took a few breaths and whispered: "They can only enter through the main entrance now... After a while, I will try my best to delay everyone. You can go out of this vent to go to the East District... There are still living people in the East District, try to delay... We must persist until we return to the rescue..."
The sirens on the side kept ringing, Pei Yao took off the cross medal on his chest and put it in Allen's hand, and reluctantly smiled and said, "Please return my medal to the Paladin Legion, long live the Empire..."
In order not to let himself fall into a coma due to excessive blood loss, Pei Yao forced his mental power to stay awake. A large number of pheromones were filled with blood through Pei Yao in the narrow space in the west area. Alan was almost dizzy. He held Pei Yao's medal tightly, and the white wings on the medal pierced into Allen's palm. Alan's eyes were red and suppressed, and his voice was hoarse: "Don't move... don't speak..."
Pei Yao also blushed with anxiety: "Please leave immediately!"
"I told you not to move!!"
Alan could no longer suppress himself. Pei Yao felt his mind blank, and the pain on his body miraculously eased slowly. When he woke up again, he found that several enemies were less than ten meters away from him and Alan!
The other party's patience had obviously reached the point. They used photon cannons to explode the last door in the west area. Pei Yao quickly blocked Alan. Alan opened his eyes expressionlessly, raised his hand and gently wrote a few words on Pei Yao's back.
Pei Yao frowned, but he still obeyed the order to put down his weapon and slowly raised his hands. There were seven people on the other side. They had just experienced Pei Yao's power. Now they saw this rare dragon quantum beast sentry giving up resistance and it was very puzzled. It took almost a minute before slowly approaching. Alan suddenly opened his eyes and waited for this moment!
Alan completely released his mental power, and the huge mental pressure rushed away like a tsunami. The five-dimensional space was almost twisted, and the seven enemy people instantly let out a shrill scream. A smile appeared on the corner of Alan's mouth, his expression was almost ferocious, and his mental tentacles pierced unscrupulously in their brains!
The pain that had been suppressed for many days finally had an vent. Alan controlled his mental power to torture several people repeatedly. Watching them rolling on the floor in pain, almost dying, Alan's face became paler. After the initial shock, Pei Yao suddenly understood and interrupted sternly: "Stop!! You have just become an adult! You can't bear the brain with your mental power at all!"
Pei Yao's golden dragon swam quickly to Alan's feet and was next to him. The golden light on the dragon's body slowly enveloped Alan. Alan suddenly shook and slowly closed his eyes and fell down. Pei Yao stepped forward to protect Alan. Alan struggled to clean up his eyes for a while. After a long time of trance, he woke up and laughed bitterly: "Now, you know, why... the emperor wants to deprive me of the position of the crown prince. I... I warn you, if you dare to take advantage of me... while I'm unconscious, I... I..."
Before he could finish his warning, exhausted Allen was already unconscious.
Pei Yao looked at Alan in disbelief. After a moment, he saw a black and slender snake-shaped quantum beast winding out from Alan's sleeves. The little snake raised its head slightly, and its round eyes were shiny. It looked at the dragon beside it curiously, turned its head to look at Pei Yao, and then slowly swam to Pei Yao's hand and tied itself on Pei Yao's wrist. It shook its tiny tail happily.
Pei Yao looked at the little snake on his wrist with a complicated expression. Although it was a newborn young snake, Pei Yao could also tell... This is the most toxic breed known to be the Taipan Snake.
Pei Yao looked at Alan who was unconscious in his arms. All the previous doubts became clear in an instant. Why did the emperor give up Alan despite the opposition? Why did Alan have such great resentment? Why did Alan be so weak recently? Why did the emperor transfer all the sentry guards away from Alan...
Although incredible,... Alan Norman, former queen St. Marian's parent-child, the former crown prince who carries the noblest blood of the empire, was predicted by countless people that he would become the strongest sentinel in adulthood and lead the empire to glory. When he was adulthood, just now... it was indeed, awakening was a guide.
