The invader approached the communication station. The whole room was hexagonal, thirty meters wide, with ceramic tiles on the bottom. A huge open shaft rose up, and there were columns carved with gargoyles and iron relay stations, with energy crackling between the columns.
There is a lonely communication column at the bottom of the shaft. This ferrous metal spike is inlaid with intricate pipes. All pipes are connected to a bunch of cables with a diameter of one meter, which are wrapped around the base of the shaft like a snake.
The meditator workstation squeaked and arranged around the room, and as raw data continued to pour in from the Eternal Loyal array of birds, the meditators' vacuum tubes and nerve clusters were also flashing.
His estimate was close to the truth—seven mortals in the grey uniform of the Legion turned around and saw him walking in, immediately lowered their heads and fisted across their chests.
"Sir, what are your instructions?"
Two of them were wearing carapaces and had laser pistols on their belts.
"certainly."
He smiled slightly behind the helmet, raised the cortical isolator and released the switch.
The next moment, a dull roar ran through the room, and the walls of the shaft made a dull echo. The seven guards collapsed to the ground, their eyes were dull and their nostrils were bleeding.
He closed the door behind him, locked it, and turned toward the nearest meditator workstation.
Although this warship has many modifications from unknown sources, it is still an imperial warship, and its automatic system will record battles like other warships.
Then he entered more access codes into the receiving keyboard, waited for the correct code to be input successfully, and then looked at the screen in front of him full of characters.
He read the parameters about the warship with interest.
Built in Zhao Akada, which world still has the ability to build such a huge warship?
Crack cannon, what kind of technology is that?
It seems that it has an old identification code and does not belong to the number used by the empire today. This ship seems to be transformed from a ship from the Great Expeditionary Age?
He was very curious and had too many questions. Did Soshiyan not realize that using deception as a tool of war would cause problems?
The blade will cut to both sides and is equally sharp.
His navigation records of jumping to the warship are integrated with the data he has collected.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps passing by in the corridor outside, so he speeded up.
He obtained a simple battle diagram of the Eternal Loyalty and scanned the battleships in other orbits: Soul Unbound, Starfire, and Soul Messenger.
Their strengths and weaknesses, damage reports, combat readiness status are measured.
There is nothing he thinks about here, so it means that he has already obtained the result he needs-
The ship has not been acquired by them.
He was archiving data and preparing to transmit it when he suddenly heard something outside.
Then the footsteps stopped again.
He stopped working, bent down on the contemplator, without making a sound, without moving, and pricking his ears.
He heard someone test the password lock, and the door mechanical device hit the lock.
The invader reached for the blaster and retreated carefully to the back of the pillar in the center of the room.
Above him, the open shaft flashed through the arcs, as if it was irritated by his disturbance.
The next moment, a dull explosion sounded, followed by a ripples of impact on the metal grid floor.
The door suddenly opened and a huge figure shone in.
A combat robot.
It seems that he still triggered some hidden alarm, or it is a combat robot that is far more advanced than he imagined, but no matter what, it only represents one thing-
Discovered!
The moment the robot broke in, three explosive bombs flew past the interval, one aimed at the head and two aimed at the chest.
However, it is incredible that a shield suddenly stretched out on the combat robot's arm, blocking the explosive bombs.
The invader retreated, fired again, and covered himself with the volume of the communication tower.
The combat robot approaches quickly, with plasma emitters on one arm and spinning lightning claws on the other hand.
The bomb smashed into the surrounding walls, shattering the screen, and the arches echoed with a harsh explosion.
The place is narrow and there is nowhere to escape, and the combat robot stands between him and the only exit, forcing him to retreat to the wall opposite the exit.
The invader pulled out his sword and activated the energy force field when the blade was off the sheath. The combat robot rushed towards him. The blades intertwined, the decomposition force field was mixed together, and the weapon roared.
"Identification code error, first-level invasion alarm, put down the weapon!"
The invader pushed the combat robot hard, blocked the opponent's claws from his chest, and threw them aside. The other hand had already made a move, and the muzzle of the bomb gun pressed against the robot's waist.
Seizing the opportunity, he fired again, firing twice at the robot's head, ensuring that the enemy had no chance to breathe.
Then he ran to the trembling robot and stabbed the robot with a power sword into the core of the robot.
The tip of the sword pierced the pottery steel and penetrated into the metal. He twisted the hilt and pressed the weight of his body up.
After the robot trembled for a while, there was no movement.
The invader gasped for a few breaths, his whole body burning with adrenaline.
This combat robot probably had already sent a communication before the attack. Others should have heard the movement of the battle. Time is an enemy of him. He still has a long way to go before the command bridge. The mission is only half completed, and fate has disrupted his plan.
destiny?
He laughed awkwardly, mocking himself when did he start to believe in fate?
The invader ran away from the communications station and walked through the corridor outside, now giving way to speed with caution.
He ran along the narrow passage, and the servants looked up at him, stunned-
The intruder tried to find hidden passages, such as the branch route between the engine compartment and the access door, but his route always forced him to return to the open space, to the lumen, to where his trace would be found.
He knew very well that although most of the warriors of the Astral Knights were on the ground, it did not mean that their flagships were defenseless. There could be warriors of equal or stronger strength to him at any time. They had been strictly tempered to kill outsiders.
There was not much time left, and even before the disguise was torn apart, the task was already difficult enough, but now he had no chance. All he could do was try, and like anything else, trying to make up for the task.
At least the fleet records of the Astral Knights have been transmitted, and these data are enough for his superiors to analyze.
Suddenly, the walls on both sides suddenly disappeared and he rushed into an open area.
This is an abyss, a gulf between different areas, a metal cliff can be seen vaguely in front of it, with flickering marking lights on the edges, and stripes caused by friction during the ascending process.
The deck broke a few meters ahead of him, and a lonely bridge spanned the abyss, only wide enough for four mortals or two spacemarines to pass side by side.
This is a defensive barrier, built to cope with the situation where the warship was jumped by a large number of troops. On the other side, there should be the command layer, training cage, navigation room and Starspeople. At the far end of the lonely bridge is a pair of heavy explosion-proof doors.
The whole place was empty and surprisingly quiet, with a faint roar coming from the depths below.
