Chapter 597: Escape (2/2)

Ye Chong lost about 361 shooters, all because of extreme parapsychic fatigue.

According to the shooters, apparently it was not a norm for them to fight a long term war, since most outcomes happened in split seconds for them. Ye Chong did not want to drain them at first, but he was left with no other choice. The pilots had fallen and he had no backup force.

Fortunately the fatigue was not fatal to them, though it was hard to tell when they would wake up again - not a good news for Ye Chong.

The pilots would at least need 10 hours to regain their stamina. And so far only 6 hours had lapsed while most of the shooters had collapsed. If they had encountered another wave as frenzy as the previous, there would be problems.

But the wave seemed to have ceased, as Ye Chong looked at the floating carcasses around the void. It was a horrendous sight, a nightmare fuel. The crew members had gotten used to such sight however.

The escaped red-tailed beasts did not flee from the scene right away. Instead, they tailed Darkniss at a fixed distance. They were alert yet no action was taken ,yet.

Well, as long as they did not launch the attack, Darkniss would be safe.

Ye Chong sighed in a relief. He needed that catch of his breath.

As long as they lasted the following hours, all would be good.

The shooters did not leave the firing chamber, they remained as alert while eyeing those beasts far behind. They needed to last till the pilots got back online.

The large pack of red-tailed beasts army were following Darkniss and no one knew what could happen next. It was such a restless situation. But at least the captain seemed calm at the moment. The crew members believed everything was still under Ye Chong's control.

Clearly they would be led to safety!

The captain was the greatest!

That was how the trainees saw Ye Chong. They knew it well, on how they would remain as the most peasantly peasant, the most trashy trash in the world if they did not meet the master. So, everything was for the master, by the master, of the master.

The faithfulness was almost a blind one. Appilok might have been their military leader, but it was this indifferent quiet young man who had given them the necessary mental support.

Ye Chong loved the obedient red-tailed beasts, as he prompted Darkniss to travel faster towards the warping point.

It felt strange the following days. The red-tailed beasts, as if they had been given enough punishments, behaved. Ye Chong could not foresee their next diabolical plan but he was feeling much more at ease. After all, his pilot army had fully recovered, all ready for battle. Most of the shooters had also regained consciousness.

Even if the red-tailed beasts decided to launch the attack, he could take them all just fine.

”Captain!”

And that was when he could already see the warping point.

He looked at the marching red-tailed beasts behind, a brief smile cracked his usual coldness, ”Accelerate, prepare for space warp.”

”Perform space warp!” shouted the sailor.

Engines were all turned on, Darkniss blasted off into...

nothing?

That was what the red-tailed beasts witnessed.

In the midst of confusion, the giant metallic enemy disappeared.

Well, they might have evolved but this entire space-jumping Einstein rocket science was beyond their comprehension.
