Chapter 253 Irresponsible wingman (1/2)

Lan Xuanyu’s voice resounded in his cockpit once again, “Fly in tandem.”

The sloppy, middle-aged man felt like scolding someone right now. ‘I said, “Wingman,” and you really treat me as a “wingman?” And even want to command me?’

‘Of course, on a real battlefield, the wingman had to listen to the main warship commander; but I am the teacher, the teacher, ah! This fella really treats me as his wingman, huh?’

Although that was what he thought inside him, he still abided by Lan Xuanyu’s command. This was a habit. Even though he hadn’t been a wingman for many years, on a battlefield, according to the rules of warship piloting, the wingman must obey the commands of the main warship pilot. Otherwise, he or she would have to go to the military court.

Two Soul Guidance warships drew two beautiful arcs in the air while advancing out to both sides.

On the meteorite belt, the greatest advantage of flying in tandem was that they could detect as many enemies as possible. It could observe a larger range, and at the same time, it wouldn’t be easy for the enemy to detect that they have two warships in combat. It was a very commonly used investigation method.

Lan Xuanyu controlled his space warship and bore out of a meteorite belt. Very soon, he saw his target and immediately spoke through the communication device, “Discovered an enemy plane, position 598, 673.”

The sloppy, middle-aged man said languidly, “Found two enemy planes, position…”

Lan Xuanyu immediately said, “Distract the enemy planes at your side, and wait for my support after my battle.”

The sloppy, middle-aged man sat in his own cockpit and the corners of his lips moved upward. If Lan Xuanyu could see him, he would find that this person was operating the warship with only one hand and holding a cigar in the other. It was a real cigar, not a simulation. The smoke from the cigar rose naturally and was purified by the simulator.

Lan Xuanyu caught sight of the enemy plane, and the other party spotted him as well. It immediately flew in his direction, and he could see that the other party’s main cannon was powering up.

One against one!

At this moment, the completely hyped up Lan Xuanyu was fearless. He was focused as he stepped hard with his left feet and pushed the propeller to its limits. The Soul Guidance warship accelerated very quickly; it reached a supersonic speed almost instantly.

At the same time, he made a series of actions rhythmically and gave orders continuously. The space warship began to experience slight tremors, and there was a change in its energy, too.

Both enemy planes were getting closer and closer; his opponent was clearly experienced in battles too and sped up as well.

The scariest thing to happen during space warship battles was when the opponent would attack from the back because, under such a situation, the enemy plane would advance forward, and it would be very hard to get out if you were targeted from the back.

While face to face was the best chance to destroy the other party, the premise was that one could dodge the opponent’s attack or destroy the opponent’s attack.

Two enemy planes were getting closer. As the saying goes, ‘He who is braver will win when people come into unavoidable confrontation.’ Nobody attacked first because once an attack was fired, especially from a cannon, it would have to be recharged again; they could probably miss a good opportunity.

Closer—the opponent was coming closer. Lan Xuanyu became unusually calm, he stepped gently with his right foot, the wing of the warship converged inward to reduce resistance, thus making his warship faster.

Just this small change had shortened the length of time taken to close the distance between them.

And it was also at this moment that the other party’s attack was suddenly launched.

An eye-piercing light ray shot out of the cannon from his opponent’s Soul Guidance warship. At the same time, the opponent’s warship swerved down and to the side at top speed. The cannons on both its wings were fully opened, and Soul Guidance rays covered almost all directions that Lan Xuanyu could dodge.

The other party was very skilled in operating the warship, it was obvious this was not his first time battling like this.

But it was also at this moment that a cheeky smile appeared at the corners of Lan Xuanyu’s mouth. He thought to himself, ‘You got fooled. Do you really think I’m going to accelerate and charge forward?’

He pressed down with his right foot all of a sudden, and the wings that were slightly converging at first suddenly opened up to its widest extent. Then, he pulled a lever, and the nose of the Soul Guidance warship raised.
