Xia Chujian simply played the surveillance video sent to her by the Marine Corps over there, and acted as a narrator to explain.
"This is a Marine Corps over there, who just sent me the surveillance video."
"From the video, everyone can see the number and weapons of these Shang People and Haidagong."
"This time, the ones who ambushed the First Interstellar Fleet's five thousand Marine Corps were twenty thousand Shang People and twenty thousand Haidagong."
"That adds up to forty thousand."
"And the Marine Corps over there only number five thousand."
"In a head-on confrontation, our side suffered heavy losses."
"In the end, they had no choice but to use self-destruct equipment to completely annihilate the Shang People and Haidagong."
"Of the five Interstellar Airships that came down with the D499 Starry Sky Cruiser, four have already exploded."
"The remaining one has been occupied by the Shang People and Haidagong and is flying towards the D499 Starry Sky Cruiser in the high sky."
After she finished speaking, Li Dali immediately said, "Captain, I don't think this battle can be fought!"
"We are all ordinary people. Even if these Mecha can be bulletproof, they can't withstand tens of thousands of people shooting at the same time."
"As soon as the Mecha is damaged, we will immediately suffer large-scale combat attrition."
"The First Interstellar Fleet's five thousand Marine Corps probably died in this way."
Xia Chujian said, "Captain Li is right, that's exactly the case."
"We will evacuate, but we will take the D235 Second Interstellar Fleet's Marine Corps and the D337 Third Interstellar Fleet's Marine Corps with us."
"Now there are also ten thousand Shang People and ten thousand Haidagong attacking them, adding up to a total of forty thousand enemies on both sides."
"I have already promised to meet them."
"But before meeting them, I want to do one thing."
"We will shoot down that Interstellar Airship that has been occupied by the Shang People and Haidagong!"
"Now everyone, get to your positions and listen to my orders!"
After Xia Chujian finished speaking, she turned off all the display screens and communicators and returned to her Captain's Room.
The weapons of the Interstellar Airship are not as complete and sophisticated as those of the Starry Sky Cruiser.
For example, it does not have a Space Ion Beam Cannon, but it is equipped with a lower-level Magnetic Railgun.
Xia Chujian sat in front of the main control panel in the Captain's Room and asked Seven Lù, "Seven Lù, can you track the Interstellar Airship that flew away?"
Seven Lù said, "The radar is scanning and has captured a weak signal."
"After verification, it will be entered into the intelligent system of the Magnetic Railgun."
This way, the Magnetic Railgun can automatically aim and prepare to fire.
Xia Chujian nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Seven Lù is the best, confirm it quickly!"
While verifying, Seven Lù quietly said to Xia Chujian, "Master, Seven Lù actually left a back door on that Interstellar Airship..."
Xia Chujian was slightly stunned: "...Seven Lù, what is a back door?"
Seven Lù said, "It is a program in the Mechanical Intelligence that can bypass security detection and directly grasp the other party's underlying control rights."
Xia Chujian was very surprised: "That is to say, you can hack into the other party's Mechanical Intelligence control program at any time?"
Seven Lù's childish voice was a little embarrassed: "...It's not wrong for Master to say that."
Xia Chujian chuckled and praised, "Seven Lù, you are so smart!"
Then her expression became serious, and she said, "Seven Lù, when we catch up with that Interstellar Airship, can you directly make it self-destruct?"
Because she knew that although the Magnetic Railgun on her Airship was powerful, it could only severely damage the Interstellar Airship at most, and could not completely blow the other party into pieces.
In case the other party counterattacks, they will also suffer considerable losses.
And what she wanted was for all the Shang People and Haidagong in that Interstellar Airship to perish together with the Airship.
Seven Lù said, "If we can catch up to a certain distance, there will definitely be no problem."
After saying that, she asked, "If Chu Qingchen and those other nobles are still on that Interstellar Airship, should it still self-destruct?"
Xia Chujian's expression hardened slightly. "They shouldn't be there. They're so afraid of death, they probably ran away long ago."
"But if they are, then let them die. I'll put in a good word for them."
She felt quite contemptuous of these nobles.
Scheming and plotting at the base was one thing, but on the real battlefield, they ran away after firing a few shots. With that kind of performance, they still wanted to be promoted to Colonel-Ranked Officers?
If they succeeded in that, Xia Chujian truly felt that the Empire's Military should be purged from top to bottom.
One by one, they couldn't fight, yet they were obsessed with military ranks and battle merits.
What use was such a Military, such officers?
Of course, if they were really on the Airship, but had been captured by the Shang People and Haidagong, Xia Chujian wouldn't mind doing them a big favor, letting them perish with the Airship, saving them from a fate worse than death being tortured.
...
While she was speaking, Xia Chujian's Interstellar Airship, automatically piloted by Mechanical Intelligence, quickly soared into the sky, accelerating rapidly.
Their Interstellar Airship's Mechanical Intelligence had the Seven Lù bonus, which was many times better than the Mechanical Intelligence of ordinary Interstellar Airships.
Even the piloting skills were beyond what ordinary Mechanical Intelligence could achieve.
Three minutes later, Seven Lù confidently told Xia Chujian, "Master, that Interstellar Airship has been found."
"They are only five minutes away from the D499 Starry Sky Cruiser. Seven Lù has already hacked into it."
Xia Chujian became anxious and quickly said, "Can you make it self-destruct?"
Seven Lù's childish voice was confident and said in a milky voice, "Self-destruct program set! Our Magnetic Railgun program set! Master, please fire the cannon yourself!"
Xia Chujian nodded and pulled up a holographic display on the main console.
On this holographic display, Seven Lù marked the position of the Interstellar Airship that was moving quickly ahead, as well as the position of the D499 Starry Sky Cruiser that was stationary directly in front.
Xia Chujian gritted her teeth and said, "Chu Qingchen, you bunch of trash!"
"Their D499 is the latest model of Starry Sky Cruiser!"
Her D1-class Starry Sky Cruiser was the oldest model.
You could tell just by looking at the factory serial number.
Seven Lù's childish voice had a calm detachment, saying, "Master, according to calculations, the Magnetic Railgun is not enough to destroy the Interstellar Airship ahead, but adding the self-destruction, it can be completely destroyed."
Xia Chujian said, "Then let's do both at the same time. I'll use the Magnetic Railgun for cover, and you make it self-destruct!"
As she spoke, the Shao Siming Mecha's mechanical finger tapped the option on the holographic display—Magnetic Railgun launch.
The next second, streaks of silver-white light shot out from Xia Chujian's Interstellar Airship, blasting towards the Interstellar Airship whose outline could already be seen!
*Boom! Boom! Boom!* Three Magnetic Railgun shots were as fast as meteors, perfectly hitting the power system of the Interstellar Airship ahead.
The Interstellar Airship, emitting bursts of Black Smoke, suddenly froze for a moment, and then a group of Haidagong suddenly flew out of the Interstellar Airship.
Then, the Interstellar Airship erupted in a blinding white light.
The entire Airship disintegrated and vaporized before her eyes.
But there were still about dozens of Haidagong that flew out.
They have wings! Xia Chujian was unusually angry.
She quickly walked into the small suite and dug A Yuan, who was fast asleep, out of bed.
The little silver-throated short-tailed chubby bird opened its left, small black bean-like eye and peeked at Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian said, "A Yuan, get up and work."
The silver-white Teacup Dog A Wù next to the little chubby bird also jumped up. Its mouth, with a bit in it, couldn't speak, and it didn't dare to take it off itself, so it jumped up and down anxiously.
Xia Chujian said, "A Wù, do you want to go too?"
A Wù nodded repeatedly.
Xia Chujian said regretfully, "There are no Alligator Dragons now, so I'll take A Yuan to eat Haidagong first."
The moment she heard the words "Haidagong," that feeling of wanting to devour, etched deep in A Yuan's soul, resurfaced.
The chubby, snow-white little fat bird immediately flapped its tiny wings and flew from the bed to perch on Xia Chujian's mecha shoulder.
The Other Shore Flower-shaped gunstock seat hadn't been deployed yet.
The little fat bird hopped around on the hard mecha shoulder, its tiny bird claws scratching at Xia Chujian's Shao Siming Mecha.
Xia Chujian: "..."
She had no choice but to deploy the small Other Shore Flower gunstock on her left shoulder.
The snow-white little fat bird contentedly squeezed its plump body into it.
Its beak still wore the tiny bridle Seven Lù had woven.
Xia Chujian took it off and casually placed it on its head.
The little fat bird looked like it was wearing a golden crown, instantly becoming extremely spirited.
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "A Yuan, I'm counting on you this time. I'll let you out later, and that's when you go."
"Remember to come back after you've eaten all those Haidagong."
After speaking, she added a word of caution: "Better be careful, don't let anyone see you."
The snow-white little fat bird nodded as if it understood, chirping twice.
Xia Chujian, outside her Shao Siming Mecha, also draped a cloak she had found on that Haidagong Tula.
This cloak was eggplant purple with black and gold thread trim, and it looked very good with her mecha's appearance.
The key was that wearing this cloak would cover the snow-white little fat bird on her shoulder.
Xia Chujian walked out and went directly to the bottom hold, sitting in a Small Combat Aircraft.
The bottom hold outer passage door of the Interstellar Airship slowly opened, and Xia Chujian's Combat Aircraft flew out with a whoosh, catching up with those Haidagong that were flying forward rapidly.
They had escaped before the Airship self-destructed, all heading straight for that brand-new Starry Sky Cruiser!
Xia Chujian's Small Combat Aircraft suddenly made a beautiful spin in mid-air, and then, a snow-white little fat bird flew out of the aircraft's porthole like a ghost.
Xia Chujian had chosen a window on the side of the aircraft facing away from the Interstellar Airship.
This way, even if the people on the Interstellar Airship looked out, they wouldn't see that the snow-white little fat bird had come out of Xia Chujian's Combat Aircraft.
And as soon as the snow-white little fat bird A Yuan came out, it let out a clear and melodious cry that resounded between heaven and earth.
Xia Chujian hadn't expected that such a small body, the size of a palm, could make such a huge sound like a fledgling phoenix chirping! When those Haidagong, who were flying forward rapidly, heard this sound, they suddenly seemed to have their movements restricted, flapping their membranous wings rapidly, but unable to fly forward another step.
They couldn't even spew fire.
And the snow-white little fat bird seemed to have entered an ocean of food, happily flying back and forth over the heads of those dozens of Haidagong.
Its speed was extremely fast, spending less than a second on each Haidagong's head.
Xia Chujian piloted the Combat Aircraft behind A Yuan, clearly seeing that every time the silver-throated, short-tailed, round-bellied chick left a Haidagong, that Haidagong would become light and floaty, slowly descending like a kite.
Half an hour later, the little fat bird's short tail had become longer.
When it flew back to Xia Chujian's Combat Aircraft, its little fat body was crooked and wobbly, as if its stomach was so heavy that it was affecting its flying speed.
Xia Chujian: "..."
Hadn't it digested the previous meal yet, and it already ate too much again?
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, and after quickly letting A Yuan in, she put the bridle on it and let it return to its exclusive seat on her left shoulder, the Other Shore Flower small gunstock, to rest.
Then she quickly ordered her Starry Sky Marine Corps on the Interstellar Airship, saying, "I will open the Airship's passage. Your mission is to retrieve all of these Haidagong corpses!"
This task was easy.
The Starry Sky Marine Corps all had Mecha, so flying at high altitude was not a problem.
Before long, all the Haidagong that had escaped from the Airship were retrieved by these Marine Corps.
They were all very strange, the Haidagong, which looked very sturdy, only had a layer of skin left after they died...
Xia Chujian knew that this was because the Haidagong's energy essence had been absorbed by A Yuan.
After completing this task, Xia Chujian quickly returned to the Interstellar Airship in the Flying Vehicle.
As soon as she got back, she received a message from Chen Yansheng on her Smart Bracelet.
[Chen Yansheng]: Captain! I've scanned it, there are no signs of life on the D499 Starry Sky Cruiser!
[Chen Yansheng]: It seems Chu Qingchen and the others didn't return to the Cruiser, but it wasn't captured by the Shang People and Haidagong either. Should we still blow it up?
Xia Chujian pondered for a moment and replied to Chen Yansheng.
[Xia Chujian]: Blow it up, just in case.
Chu Qingchen and his group of five were too capable of causing trouble.
Who knew if they were keeping the Starry Sky Cruiser around to play some trick...
Earlier, when she blew up Chu Qingchen's Interstellar Airship, Seven Lù had searched it through the Mechanical Intelligence there, and it only contained Shang People and Haidagong, with no sign of humans.
She also clearly remembered that those five had been too quiet in the past two weeks of training, not like themselves at all...
Now it seemed they were definitely plotting something.
Whatever they were plotting, Xia Chujian didn't want them to succeed.
And a Starry Sky Cruiser, with just the Space Ion Beam Cannon it was equipped with, was enough to make Xia Chujian wary.
D499 was also the latest model of Cruiser.
Chen Yansheng grinned when he saw Xia Chujian's reply, thinking, Xia Shuai is indeed Xia Shuai, decisive in killing. Blowing up a brand-new Starry Sky Cruiser just like that! But he liked it!
Without another word, Chen Yansheng stuffed all the high-energy explosives from the Combat Aircraft into the engine exhaust of the Starry Sky Cruiser.
After setting the remote control system, he quickly left in the Small Combat Aircraft.
He didn't activate the detonation button until he was near his own Cruiser.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!* Clusters of black and red smoke rose from the distant horizon.
The world seemed to tremble slightly with it.
Xia Chujian looked out from the porthole of her Interstellar Airship Captain's Room and saw the place where the fire had lit up.
Not bad, about the same scale as when she blew up the Bodhi Leaf Star Pirates' Starship.
If Chu Qingchen and the others weren't dead, but were hiding somewhere watching the show, wanting to seize the opportunity to come out and pick up the spoils, they definitely couldn't stand it now, right...
Xia Chujian narrowed her eyes and withdrew her gaze.
Right now, she had more important things to do.
...
The Interstellar Airship descended rapidly, flying forward quickly.
Thinking of the Haidagong that had suddenly flown out of the Interstellar Airship, Xia Chujian's heart was still heavy.
Why were they able to escape the self-detonating Interstellar Airship at the critical moment?
Of course, she wasn't particularly worried about the Haidagong.
Although they were fierce in battle and seemed quite intelligent, she had her little chubby A Yuan.
This is a long chapter, including the Moon Ticket update for August 3300+.
