Chapter 62: Passage Collapse
"Major General, the Dark Devil has lost the connection with the starship."
After the interstellar cruiser saw the actions of the Black Demon ship, it immediately reported to Bai Hao, who was leading the Third Army's warships and hiding behind a nearby planet.
"They wanted to abandon the starship. It seems that they either transferred all the hostages to the Dark Devil, or only transferred some of them, and the rest are still on the starship and crashed with it."
Bai Hao quickly understood Xiong Wei's thoughts.
"Pass on my order. Send a small team to take a small spaceship to control the starship and rescue the hostages on the starship. Tell them that once they control the starship, they must leave as quickly as possible and transfer the hostages to a safe place."
"Yes!"
Bai Hao ordered the captain of patrol ship No. 56: "You continue to send communication requests to the Black Magic Ship."
"Major General, I have been sending them communication requests according to your orders, but the people of the Lion Mercenary Group do not seem to want to negotiate with us and have been refusing."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ye looked at Bai Hao in confusion, "Major General, what exactly do these people from the Lion Mercenary Group mean? They are holding the little princess of the Mifa Empire hostage in order to negotiate with the Mifa Empire's royal family and exchange the little princess for their second in command, Black Lion. But the direction they are heading in now is not the closest route to the Mifa Empire."
Bai Hao stared at the star map in front of him, constantly recalling all the information about this star field in his mind. Suddenly he remembered something and slammed the table.
"No! They want to take the abandoned space jump point behind Gray Star!
Wu Ye, hurry up, order the second and third teams to move forward at full speed, and make sure to stop them before they enter the space jump point!"
"Yes!"
Wu Ye immediately took the order and left.
Hu Ming stepped forward with a surprised look on his face: "Major General, they are not really going there, are they? Hasn't that space jump point been abandoned for more than a hundred years? How do they know this place?"
Bai Hao looked at the star map in front of him with a gloomy face: "The existence of this space jump point has never been a secret, but it has been abandoned for too long, most people have forgotten about this place, and even the current star map no longer marks this place.
It seems that Xiong Wei had made sufficient preparations before daring to come here to kidnap the little princess of the Mifa Empire."
"But, hasn't this space jump point collapsed? If we rush in, we might be turned into dust by the space vortex. Don't they know this?"
Hu Ming looked at the Black Magic Ship gradually approaching the Gray Star on the star map, and was worried. He hoped that the hateful Lion Mercenary Group did not transfer the hostages of their empire to the Black Magic Ship.
However, Hu Ming also understood that the possibility was almost zero. Now he could only hope that the people from the second and third teams could stop the Black Magic ship in time.
"The collapse of this space jump point was also discovered accidentally by the people in the Engineering Corps. They just reported it to their superiors. Considering that this is an abandoned space jump point, the people in the House of Representatives felt that there was no need to announce this news, so this matter was not announced. Only internal personnel knew about it."
Bai Hao stared at the black magic ship on the star map, wishing he could teleport over to stop it.
"Let our signalmen also send a communication request to the Black Demon Ship using the interstellar emergency signal. We must contact them!"
"Yes!"
……
Inside the command room of the Black Demon ship.
"Nito, the interstellar cruiser of the Mingxi Empire has sent us another communication request. What do you think? Do you want to answer it?"
"What are you going to answer?"
Nito sat in a chair next to the podium, crossing his legs and picking his nose.
"Didn't the boss say that we just need to get to the space jump point before they catch up with us? There's no need to waste time talking to him."
"But, just now another warship from the Mingxi Empire sent us a communication request, and it used an interstellar emergency signal. We..."
"Leave them alone!"
Neto impatiently changed his posture and continued to pick out earwax.
"Those people just want us to release the hostages on the ship, but can we do that? If it weren't for the hostages, the interstellar cruiser would have opened fire on us a long time ago. Now that there are hostages, they are afraid to act rashly, so they just follow us.
And as for the warship you mentioned, the boss has long said that the place where we were discovered is not far from their Third Legion, and the warships of the Third Legion are hiding behind those planets.
As long as we have hostages, they won't dare to open fire at will, so we don't have to worry about them. We can just go directly to the space jump point later."
Another small leader was a little surprised when he saw the communicator kept ringing: "What's wrong with the Mingxi Empire's warships? We have clearly refused to negotiate, so why are they still communicating with us? Is there really something serious that they want to negotiate with our boss?"
"Tsk, what could be the problem? Don't you just want us to release the person?"
Nito snapped his fingers and said with disdain, "The boss hasn't had a good rest for a long time because of the matter of the second in command. We just managed to persuade him to go back and rest. It's only been a short while, and you want to wake the boss up for such a small matter. The boss will twist your head off.
Stay still, we are almost at the space jump point. This abandoned space jump channel still needs to use crystals to input energy, so hurry up and prepare. "
The little leader thought about it and felt that what Nito said made sense, so he nodded and turned to prepare the crystal to activate the space jump point.
"These Mingxi Empire warships are as annoying as flies. Pilot, speed up and shake them off!"
Nito heard the communicator ringing again and yelled in annoyance.
"Yes!"
……
"Yin Yi, what's wrong?"
In the room where the hostages were held, Jiang Wan saw that Yin Yi's expression suddenly became very solemn, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
Bai Li, Yu Rou, and another orc also came over curiously.
"Bai Hao just sent me a message that the Lion Mercenary Group intends to use the space jump point on Gray Star to teleport directly into the Mifa Empire."
"what?"
Bai Li exclaimed, causing the other hostages to look at him sideways.
Bai Li immediately lowered his voice, "Didn't the transmission channel collapse? They are taking us to our deaths!"
"The collapse of the tunnel has not been announced. They may not know about it. Bai Hao said that Xiong Wei has always refused to communicate with them, and they cannot tell Xiong Wei this news."
Yin Yi said in a low voice with a serious face, "Also, in about fifteen minutes, the Black Magic Ship will enter the space jump point."
"Then what should we do?"
"The only way now is for us to reveal our identities and negotiate with Xiong Wei, tell him the news, and stop the Black Magic Ship."
