Palamedes wanted to stop, but he found that his hands did not obey his command and just stopped there.
Probably because he was under some kind of illusion and his body was being manipulated. Even though his consciousness still belonged to him, his body did not.
"Not good!" Vivian, who had just climbed up from the ground and was obviously still in a weak state, did not try to stop Paramedis with her hands. However, a strand of her hair wrapped around the leopard warrior like a whip.
His arm suddenly tugged!
The control column was pulled to the right, and the ship's sailing direction also deviated to the right.
Boom! After a deafening loud noise, the heavily armored Silver Shadow barely avoided the [Subspace Generator], hit the head of the Floating Hill Toad, and then nearly crashed and slid out of the monster's back.
After a long distance, it stopped!
"Isn't he just a kid?" One year, in front of a certain military camp, a soldier of the Orc Alliance looked at the dirty and ragged leopard man boy who appeared in front of him: "You look like this.
Do you also want to join the army?"
"Please." The young leopard boy, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, knelt in front of the soldier: "Please, please let me join the army. My brother was killed by humans. They broke his feet alive in front of me.
, and peeled off his fur alive. Human beings treat us just like animals, no, even worse than animals. I can't forget this hatred no matter what.
One day, I will also capture those hateful humans, break their legs while they are still alive, and skin them off."
The soldier frowned: "Hate will not bring you anything. If you go to the battlefield with hatred, you will only die instantly."
Palamedes did not answer. As he knelt on the ground, his whole body was trembling, trembling with grief and anger.
"Before you take revenge, learn how to live first, kid." The soldier said, "You can go in. But you look terrible. Take a bath first, throw away your rags, and put on some new clothes."
Wear your military uniform. Then go to the quartermaster's office to get some military rations. Just tell him that Lieutenant Roble asked you to get it."
"Uh-huh..." I don't know how much time passed, but Paramedes covered his head and got up.
The impact of the crash of the spaceship was stronger than he imagined. His head was swelling and painful, and he suspected that he had suffered a concussion - or it was the sequelae of the enemy's mental attack.
"Vivian? Are you okay?" The first thing he did after getting up was to ask about his wife's condition.
In fact, Vivian was not much better than him. It was at this time that she covered her head and got up: "Damn it. Thanks to that mental attack, I recalled very annoying old things..."
"You too?" Paramedis groaned.
"This is a common trick used by illusionists. It makes people recall some sad or regretful past events in the past, so as to find the flaws in people's hearts, and then make people obey the instructions of the magician." The succubus rubbed her temples
: "You were trying to reach out and touch something in that hallucination just now, but what you touched in reality was indeed the joystick of the spacecraft, right."
The big cat nodded: "Sorry, it's my fault."
"No...it's my fault that I let you face this level of illusion without any defense and failed to stop your actions." Vivian shook her head: "If I could be stronger, I would
Maybe I have escaped from that low-level illusion a long time ago. It turns out that I am not much better than you."
Palamedes covered his face. Everything he saw in the hallucination seemed to be real, so it shocked him. He had obviously never seen Philaeos after being skinned, but only heard about Philaeos.
He just told himself about it. Unexpectedly, the illusion could actually reassemble the things he had imagined in his mind, turning them into vivid and bloody hallucinations.
The most terrifying thing is not the cruelty in reality, but the numbness towards that cruelty. In fact, from the day he saw Philaeos again, Palamedes had this idea in his mind - if he hadn't
By pretending to be asleep and instead getting up and persuading his brother, would Philaeos be able to obtain some kind of redemption and avoid all the tragic experiences in the future?
No. Probably not.
Phileos is tired of being a thief, and he wants to pursue an "honest" life that relies on his own abilities. However, he is too naive. Even if he is not tricked by humans here, he will definitely be somewhere else.
If he encounters the same thing, he will be tricked again. No matter what form he takes, he will definitely end miserably in the end. Orphans are orphans, orcs are orcs, and thieves are thieves. These are facts that they cannot change no matter how hard they try.
.
Palamedes sighed. Sure enough, what happened in the past is in the past. It's better not to think about it too much. And he knew that Philaeos was still alive and well. As long as he knew this
That's enough.
"Hmm..." Vivian groaned while checking the damage status of the Silver Shadow.
"What's wrong? The damage is serious?" Big Cat came over to take a look, but the large number on the control panel was something he couldn't understand at all.
"The armor and shields are still intact, which is the greatest blessing among misfortunes. However, the ship's jet system was completely destroyed, and the reaction force caused by the crash shattered most of the photon reflector. The two thrusters were also damaged due to vibration.
It fell off, and there is only one usable thruster left. Just relying on that measly thruster is not enough to allow the Silver Shadow to escape from the [Nimulated Great Storm]."
"Damn. Are we trapped here?"
"Let me think about it..." Vivian frowned deeply and tried her best to think of a countermeasure: "There is still one way. The risk is very high. Once we fail, we will be completely ruined. But I can really focus all my energy on that one
On the propeller, perform the last injection. Of course, the propeller cannot withstand such a large load and will explode after dozens of seconds. But I can separate the propeller from the hull in advance and catch it to explode.
The impact of the explosion caused the Silver Shadow to accelerate into the storm."
A drop of sweat broke out on Palamedes' forehead: "You said before that the Silver Shadow cannot pass through the storm in a straight line. The lateral impact will tear the hull apart..."
"Yes, so now it's a dead horse. I can only use this last push. After the push, the ship will have no propellers, and even the flotation system will be gone. I can only use the ship's shield
Raise it to the maximum and let it crash into the storm. Then it will drift with the wind, hoping that the storm will throw us out..."
"This feels like a good way to commit suicide. Don't you have a better plan?"
"Unfortunately, this is the only way." The succubus shook her head: "Unless you are willing to run outside, find the lost propellers, and reinstall them on the Silver Shadow? Not to mention that they may have been there for a long time.
If they were destroyed in a collision, the probability of recovering them intact is very low; even if we could recover them, the time required to install and check the system would be extremely long, and it is not something we can complete in a day or two."
"At that time, the general attack of the Knights of the Round Table had already fallen..." Palamedes covered his head and said, "Okay. Just do it your way. I just hope we can escape from here alive."
"There is also a lifesaving cabin when necessary." Vivian said: "You can at least save your life by hiding in it...probably."
"At this time, you should be grateful for the powerful self-healing ability of the Succubus and the Emerald Knight. As long as you can save your life, you can come back no matter how injured you are." Paramedis said jokingly.
Unexpectedly, these words triggered a certain switch in Vivian under this situation: "It is said that the ancients created the demon race [a race of managers] originally to allow them to operate and manage various dangerous equipment and equipment.
System. Because it is too dangerous, humans and orcs are prone to permanent disability due to misoperation, while demons have the ability to regenerate, and at least they will not be disabled due to misoperation. But no matter how powerful the talents the ancient gods and humans gave us, we
He has always been just a tool of the ancient gods and humans. When will this situation really change..."
"When the little tiger defeats the power of the abyss and crushes the ancient god-human race's plan to resurrect, everything will be fine." The Leopard Man warrior advised.
"Well... I hope so. It would be great if the plans of the ancients were so easily shattered." Vivian shook her head: "Not to mention that. Anyway, let's find a way to survive now. Let me conduct the energy to
On the final thruster——"
Pound! Before she could do anything, the spacecraft suddenly shook with a burst of explosions. It seemed like something was broken.
"Damn it! At this time!" Vivian yelled angrily.
"What's wrong?"
"The last thruster we can use is also broken." The succubus frowned and looked at her husband: "There are several core components that need to be replaced. It cannot be repaired by just a few golems. We have to send people outside.
repair."
"I'll go." The Leopard Warrior said resolutely: "Just teach me what to do in the bridge."
"No, it's too dangerous outside! God knows if there are other monsters wandering around!" the succubus objected.
They reached an impasse. If no one repaired the propeller, the ship would not be able to carry them out. And to go out to repair the propeller, they would have to take huge unknown risks. After all, the "ground" on which their ship fell
In fact, it was not the ground, but the back of the huge creature [Floating Hill Toad]. If they performed a series of actions on the monster's back, but the monster remained indifferent to it, this would be the most abnormal thing.
"That's why I need to go." Palamedes said: "If there are monsters, just let me repel them. If there are risks, just let me bear them. You must stay in the ship and monitor everything to avoid
Those monsters sneaked in, or attacked me from behind. You know the system of this ship better than anyone else, and this is something only you can do."
Vivian was silent for a long time. Naturally, she was unwilling to let her husband go out to take risks, even though Palamedes' words were at least half right.
"Be careful." She finally compromised: "In order to reduce the total weight and energy consumption of the ship during this battle, I reduced the number of golems on the ship. I can only send one golem to follow you out to look out. Golem
It is not used for combat, and its detection capabilities are limited. It is better than nothing. You have to pay special attention to it."
"I understand." Palamedes put on the communicator: "Keep in touch."
Vivian was still worried, but she had no choice. She could only watch her husband leave the bridge with worry.
