Chapter 459 The troops are divided into two groups
"So, this angel civilization is right next to us, only three light years away?"
"Yes!"
Hearing Akainu's question, the officer in charge of the interrogation department of Junlin Intelligence Department nodded and confirmed.
"Then don't waste time, set off immediately and pass the order..."
"Sakaski, wait!"
Just as Akainu was about to give the order, Aokiji beside him quickly grabbed him.
"Kuzan, if you're scared, I can go by myself!"
"I say, can you calm down, Sakaski?"
Aokiji said with a wry smile.
"Have you forgotten that it has only been less than two hours since we arrived here?"
"so what?"
"What else... The jump drive needs 12 hours to clear the radiation before it can be used again!"
"Uh..."
After thinking about this.
Akainu looked slightly embarrassed.
Indeed, he had forgotten that.
"Humph, damn Silas and Vegapunk, can't they think of a way to optimize the jump engine?"
"I have to wait 12 hours between each use. This is too troublesome!"
Akainu sat back in his seat and started complaining.
Aokiji shook his head.
"The Science Department said that this is a hurdle that cannot be circumvented in theory by jump technology. It cannot be optimized unless a completely new technology is developed in the future!"
"Humph, we don't know how long it will take. Maybe we won't be able to figure it out even after we die!"
"No, I heard they already have an idea. It seems to be called hyperspace technology. It is said that using that thing, although a short-distance single voyage is slower than a jump, it is more suitable for ultra-long-distance voyages. There is no distance limit, as long as there is enough energy."
Aokiji told a piece of gossip he heard some time ago.
Indeed, the Science Department is developing another system to solve the problem of long-distance navigation.
As Aokiji said, the newly developed technology is called hyperspace technology.
According to the idea of the Science Department, two sets of superluminal engines will be installed on warships in the future, one is a jump engine and the other is a hyperspace engine.
Among them, the jump engine is used for short-distance travel within 100 light years, and the hyperspace engine...
It is used for long-distance travel of more than 100 light years.
Yes, as long as the distance is more than 100 light years, it is suitable. Even if you plan to fly millions of light years to the nearby Triangulum Galaxy or the Andromeda Galaxy, there is no problem.
Of course, even the theory of this thing has not been perfected yet.
Whether it can be finally produced and when it can be produced, everything is still unknown.
Of course, none of this matters.
The important thing is, given the current situation, no matter how impatient Akainu is, he can only wait.
Wait ten hours before setting off for Angel Star.
And during this period of time, naturally it will not be wasted.
People in the Intelligence Department are still happily conducting interrogations in an effort to dig out more useful information.
Finally, another hour later.
They actually dug out an important piece of news.
According to the cadres of the Viper Pirates, they have been able to reach the star system where the Angel Star is located since they discovered that they could use that special ocean current.
They had already captured two batches of slaves.
The first batch was relatively small, with less than three thousand people, and they were all sold to an interstellar caravan that had just arrived here.
As for the second batch, there were more than 10,000 people, and among them there were several angels with emperor-level strength. They were sold to another interstellar caravan more than ten days ago.
Soon, this news was passed to Akainu and Aokiji.
"Obviously, the first batch should be that Luke. As for the second batch..."
"Although the pirates don't know where the caravan is going, they can be sure of the ocean current entrance they took. That entrance leads to a star system 5 light years away, and it will take about 18 days."
"According to this calculation, they should arrive in one day, which means... we can accurately intercept them from five light years away."
Aokiji analyzed it.
Akainu nodded.
"So, we split into two groups!"
"Anyway, according to the pirates' explanation, there are only more than 30 warships of their pirate group and three king-level strongmen on Angel Star. One fleet will be enough."
"As for the other fleet, once the radiation in the jump engine is cleared, it will set out directly to intercept the merchant caravan."
"After all, Luo Lan said that this angel is most likely from the same clan as us, which means he is from the same tribe as us. We must save him!"
Akainu said loudly, looking at the table.
"Okay, so are you the Angel Star, or should I go?"
"I'll go, and you'll be responsible for intercepting the caravan."
"no problem!"
Aokiji nodded in agreement.
After all, Aokiji knew very well that the reason Akainu wanted to go to Angel Planet was because he could kill pirates.
Although there are not many, there are only more than 30 warships, plus three king-level powerhouses.
But it's better than going to the caravan.
As for Aokiji himself, he doesn't care about this.
So, if Akainu wants to go to Angel Star, let him go!
------
About eight hours later.
Angel star.
Even though Xinglan deliberately led the three Pirate King-level warriors to fight in a place far away from the city of Aesera.
But after all, it was a battle between four king-level warriors, and the aftermath still affected the city of Aesera, causing many casualties.
Of course, most of the casualties were injured, and not many people died.
After all, there are a large number of powerful generals in the city. Although they are not strong enough to participate in the battle on Xinglan's side, they can still work together to block most of the aftermath of the battle.
However, after a long battle.
Xing Lan finally couldn't hold on any longer at this moment, and lay on the ground with wounds all over his body and blood all over the floor.
One against three, she had done her best.
But still, he couldn't hold on until his companions arrived.
After all, this planet is so huge that its size is even larger than the parent star in the solar system.
Thirty king-level warriors are distributed all over the planet.
Even the few people who came recently wanted to reach Aesera...
It also takes more than half a day.
At this moment, one of the pirate king-level warriors was holding a special collar.
He approached with a sly smile on his face.
Xinglan knew about this kind of collar.
Although she had never seen it, she had heard of it.
According to the survivors of several previous robberies, once put on this kind of collar, even the king-level strong men among the angels will immediately lose all their strength and can only be at the mercy of others.
Even if you resist in any way, the other party can use this collar to cause you endless pain.
Life is worse than death...
But unfortunately, you can't die.
Thinking of this, Xing Lan struggled to pull out a short blade from his waist.
She is the elder of the angel clan and also a powerful king.
The dignity of a strong person made her unable to tolerate becoming a slave and a plaything of those ugly races.
So, while there was still a chance, she would rather commit suicide.
However, how could he, whose movements were extremely difficult and slow at the moment, commit suicide in front of three powerful kings?
Before he could stab the attacker's heart.
The pirate slapped the short blade away, and a rough hand grabbed Xinglan's neck and lifted her up.
The other rough hand held a collar.
From Xinglan's snow-white neck...
Getting closer.
