Navigation is all normal.

Looking at the scenery that appeared on the screen in front of him, Hank was also full of confidence. Although this was their first time boarding the ship, all kinds of training for Hank and his men had already been completed. Zhan specially built it for them.

Various modules for simulating control in order to simulate reactions and handling in various situations. This is a bit similar to how civil aviation pilots must first drive and control in a simulator before flying into the sky, and can only fly into the sky after passing the test - after all

No one can use a huge passenger plane to practice, right?

Being able to hold the position of captain is naturally because Hank obtained the highest score in various simulation trainings, so he was appointed as the captain of the Explorer. He will even be assigned based on his performance in the exercises.

It is not impossible to become the commander of the fleet. Thinking of this, Hank couldn't help but smile. Who would have guessed that a mage apprentice with a low status, almost like a slave, could actually become the captain of a magic warship?

, maybe even become a fleet commander?

"Captain, we have five minutes to arrive at the scheduled exercise location."

Soon, the adjutant beside him spoke softly to remind him. When he heard the adjutant's words, Hank nodded. Then he thought for a moment and immediately issued the order.

"Second cruising speed, turn on energy detection, force field shield output is 50%."

"Yes, second cruising speed, energy detection is turned on, and the force field shield output is 50%."

After hearing Hank's order, the operator at the front repeated his order, and then immediately started to take action. Soon, the battleship's speed slowed down a lot, and then a faint energy barrier appeared on it.

outside edge.

At this time, everyone also let out a sigh of relief, but no one said anything. They had discussed before who their opponent would be in the exercise, and some thought it would be the lord's army. But some people expressed doubts about this, because

The lord's fleet is all large warships. To put it bluntly, every shot of the other party can equal one of his own ships. It is impossible to use such a ship for exercises. But other than that, what opponent is there for exercises?

What about the object?

Hank was equally nervous, because before he got on the boat, Hank clearly saw the gloating smile on Patilina's face. Considering that the eldest lady had always been very straightforward towards them, it meant that Patilina

Lina knew very well that they would suffer a lot this time, maybe even a lot, but she was happy to see herself suffer. The reason was that Patilina had already told them before the training.

"If you want to learn to hit people, you must first learn to be beaten."

Obviously, in Patilina's opinion, they were just here to be beaten this time.

But what exactly is it?

"Captain, an unknown reaction was detected!"

Just as Hank was thinking, suddenly, one of the operators shouted, and with his voice, the atmosphere in the entire command room suddenly became tense.

"An unknown object appears from the ten o'clock direction and is approaching at high speed!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Hank relaxed instead. Now that he has arrived at the reserved location, he must be the target of the exercise. But... who is the opponent?

"The other party is accelerating...its energy response is very strong and its speed is very fast, almost three times as fast as ours!"

"How is this possible?"

Hearing this, Hank was also surprised. The original intention of the Apocalypse-class cruiser's design was to attack quickly, so in terms of speed, it can also be ranked at the forefront. But he didn't expect that the opponent's speed was actually faster than them. Although this kind of thing is not impossible

Happened, but at more than three times their speed, Hank couldn't even imagine it!

However, such a long period of Spartan training was not in vain, especially after feeling Patilina's sinister gaze behind him, Hank broke into a cold sweat and immediately issued the order.

"Start active search immediately, lock the target, and the medium-sized polymer battery will be ready to attack at any time..."

"Captain, the other party is accelerating! It is still fifteen kilometers away from us...ten kilometers...the speed is getting faster and faster, and it has entered the attack range..."

"Visual inspection, find the target!"

"Nothing found!"

At this moment, Hank was also nervous and had already entered the attack range. Logically speaking, they should be able to lock the target at this time and launch the attack. However, it takes a certain amount of time to lock the target, and the operator must be able to do so in the shortest possible time.

It takes time to find and lock it, but so far, although the powerful magic power emitted by the opponent can be clearly seen on the energy detection spell radar, the target cannot be found... What on earth is going on?

"Five kilometers to go!!"

The atmosphere in the command room became more and more tense. Everyone tensed up and searched the scene in front of them carefully, but there was no sign of finding anything at all.

“Three kilometers…………!!”

"We are about to meet!!"

"Five...four...three...two...one..."

"Already in contact..."

"………………"

Looking at the red dot on the radar that overlapped with their own battleship, everyone was stunned. They had made all preparations, but... there was no reaction at all. What on earth was going on?

And just when everyone didn't know what to do, suddenly, there was a knocking sound.

“Dong dong dong…………!”

Hearing this voice, everyone in the command room instinctively turned their heads and looked forward, and then everyone froze there.

Outside the glass window of the command room, Vivian was floating there with a smile on her face. When she saw everyone looking at her, the little guy waved his fist proudly, and then he spoke - strange to say, the two sides were clearly separated.

There was a thick layer of glass, but Vivian's voice reached each of their ears very clearly.

"Are you ready? I'm going to start when I'm ready. You have to work hard and let me have a great time!"

After saying these words, the next moment Vivian leaped down with a "whoosh" and disappeared from everyone's sight. Faced with this sudden scene, everyone stayed there in a daze until it passed.

After a while, he came back to his senses.

"That was Miss Vivian just now..."

"Is Miss Vivian our opponent in the exercise? No way..."

Not only were everyone confused at this moment, but even Hank himself was stunned. They naturally knew how powerful Vivian was. But when it came to the opponent in the exercise, a battleship as big as theirs had to deal with such a little girl?

How to fight? It's no wonder that the target could not be locked before, because the Explorer's magic cannon has a limit on the target size. They can lock on large and medium-sized objects, but such a small person... This is not a machine gun...

And at this moment, suddenly, the entire battleship began to tremble slightly.

"What happened? Report the situation immediately!!"

Hank immediately noticed that something was wrong, and coupled with Vivian's words just now, he felt even more nervous. But this time, the mage apprentice responsible for monitoring the radar did not answer immediately, but stared blankly.

The screen in front of you.

"Oh my god, this is, this is..."

"What is this? Say it quickly!!"

"yes……………"

In fact, Hank didn't need to explain at all at this moment because he had already seen everything that was happening.

Just in front of the Explorer cruiser, a huge black dragon slowly raised its head. Its head alone was as big as that of the Explorer cruiser. And when this giant dragon spread its wings, it was even more...

It blocked the sky and the sun, as if it had enveloped the entire world. In the eyes of Hank and others, this battleship, which was already huge enough, was no different from a palm-sized sparrow in front of this giant dragon.

Is this our exercise opponent?

Thinking of this, Hank broke into a cold sweat immediately. Before he could give any further instructions, he saw that the giant dragon in front of him had already opened its bloody mouth, and then...

Take a deep breath... (To be continued.)
