NOVPUBChapter 1038: Chapter 1033 Trouble 9_1 Chapter 1038 -1033 Trouble 9_1 If they didn’t appear, they could have jumped out completely.
So if there were any issues, the enemy would definitely show up in the shortest time possible.
“Are we just going to wait here now?” Roman Rodger asked.
“Or you could try making a warp jump out?” Lucy Watson suddenly interjected.
Roman was startled for a moment, but quickly grasped what Lucy meant.
Her implication was clear; it was as if telling the enemy that they had been detected and that they were about to leave.
If you have any tricks up your sleeve, use them now or it will be too late.
...
“I’ll order the warp gate battlecruiser to take action,” Roman immediately said.
The warp gate battlecruiser was the kind that Finn Lewis had seen before, capable of directly opening warp gates.
However, its sole function was this, and generally, there weren’t many opportunities to use it.
Nonetheless, Finn and his team had brought such a vessel with them this time.
But deploying this type of battlecruiser required some time, which was critical because the fleet’s warp engines were still cooling down, making departure unlikely at the moment.
Not all warp engines in such a vast fleet were as powerful as those of the Fire-Crow class.
Most of the battlecruiser engines required a lengthy cooling period, and starting this process now was indeed the right decision.
At least that’s how it appeared to those on the outside, so Roman decided to take Lucy’s advice and immediately relayed the orders.
One after another, the battlecruisers tasked with opening warp gates swiftly left the fleet formation, preparing to warp some hundreds of kilometers away from the fleet.
They needed to warp to their target location and open the warp gates so that the entire fleet could follow through.
As these battlecruisers began their warp preparations, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded within the bridge, “Detecting massive energy fluctuations, detecting massive energy fluctuations, the curvature of the surrounding space is being severely affected, the space is in a state of oscillation, advise to stop warp jump, advise to stop warp jump.” 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
However, Roman didn’t issue any orders.
The warships were under robot control, and losses were acceptable, so this situation had everyone instantly busy.
The sudden energy burst was definitely not spontaneous; it was clear that it had been prepared in advance.
And judging from the detected energy, it was obviously a burst activated to prevent the fleet from warping, as Lucy had speculated.
However, the activation of such an energy burst was much faster than expected; before the warships could complete their warp, a sudden intense light burst from the distance, as if a star had exploded.
The light appeared suddenly and disappeared just as quickly, but after it faded, a series of bright red space storms followed.
The red space storms, resembling electromagnetic storms, approached at an incredibly fast pace.
“Maximize the fleet’s energy shields,” Roman ordered with tension in his voice, feeling a sense of despair.
At this moment, he didn’t need to think to know that Lucy Watson must have guessed correctly, and Roman’s face was heating up with fever.
The origin of the red space storms was unknown, but their speed was extreme, and the vast expanse between star sectors was crossed in the blink of an eye.
Immediately after, the energy shields of the joint fleet were met with piercing alarms, and the shield strength was plummeting wildly.
