Chapter 680: Chapter 674: Ready – Part 2

“I understand your highness, rest assured, unless the opponent’s fleet is as large as ours, they will not be able to fight against us. Your highness’s warship will not suffer any losses.” Caleb Shaw confidently said.

“That’s good news, you’ve done well this time. In the future, show more effort in managing your business.” Finn Lewis spoke with a smile.

“Thank you for your highness’s praise.” Caleb Shaw responded respectfully. Seeing his attitude, Finn Lewis felt more relieved. Some respect comes from the heart, which can be easily seen.

“Okay, be ready at all times.” Finn Lewis stated frankly.

“Yes.”

After the communication ended, Finn Lewis quickly said, “Luna Starfield, prepare to head to the target starfield. Also, calculate their fleet’s warp jumps, leaving at least six hours.”

“I understand.” Luna Starfield spoke simply. Currently, the distance Finn Lewis and his team maintain from the target is about two hours. The re-preparation time for the warp engine is two hours, and the opponent’s warp engine would also need the same calculation.

As such, every time Finn Lewis and his team prepare for a warp engine, the opponent has just tracked and warped over. But after they warp over, the warp engine still needs about two hours to prepare, and both sides keep such a time gap.

“I got it, we’re going to increase the warp distance this time.” Luna Starfield spoke simply.

“You can start preparing.” Finn Lewis nodded.

Handing it to Luna Starfield, once the opponents appeared behind Finn Lewis and his team, they did not immediately warp. Instead, they activated the flight engine and began to quickly move forward from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. The spaceship had been accelerating for a considerable amount of time.

The spaceship’s flying engine can accelerate the speed up to two-thirds of the speed of light. Even though these battleships’ main guns are strong, the range of the main gun isn’t that far. Although the opponents’ flight engines are more powerful than Finn Lewis’s, catching up will take some time.

At this moment, seeing that Finn Lewis and his team did not warp, Wind Martin’s face brightened with joy, “The opponent’s engine isn’t ready yet?”

“Sir, although we have to take care of the slightly less advanced warships in our fleet, our overall warp engine is more advanced than the opponent’s. For the same warp distance, our re-preparation time is 10 minutes faster. So, when we warped over ahead of time, their engine must not be ready yet.” A deputy reported.

“Now, I would hope they immediately warp. If they warp immediately, it would mean they’re being forced to warp, causing more damage to the engine, which might break down at any moment.”

“Hehe, no need to rush, let’s enjoy this game of cat and mouse. Tell the fleet to speed up and let’s see where this mouse can run.” Wind Martin chuckled with satisfaction.

Looking at the fleet that’s continuously approaching, “Sir, this time, we can warp a sufficient distance in one go, forcing the opponent’s engine to take at least 6 hours to be ready, but we can force the last warp. Despite causing more damage to our own engines, don’t worry Sir, there will be no issues with Caleb Shaw’s fleet. I hacked into their main control system listening to their conversations.”

“That works.” Upon hearing Luna Starfield’s words, Finn Lewis sighed with relief. Since Luna said there’s no issue, there wouldn’t be any.

As the two sides’ spaceships keep approaching and they’re about to be within the range of the main gun firing, Luna Starfield suddenly started to warp and the opponent’s warp engine was surely not ready yet.

“Sir! We’ve detected the enemy’s warp trajectory, they warped a very long distance this time. However, based on their current engine, it would take about 8 hours to cool down. Despite our engine still needing an hour and a half to warp, only 7 hours would be needed after we warp over. In other words, after this warp, the time gap between us will be shortened to within 8 hours, they’ve got nowhere to run!” A deputy reported.

“Good, well done!” Wind Martin fiercely pumped his fist, a cruel smile appearing on his face, “Let’s see how they run this time.”

After warping over, Luna Starfield’s voice could be heard throughout the entire warship, “All members, please note, we’ll perform another forced warp in 2 hours, please quickly secure your position and return to your posts. The engine logistics department, please be on emergency standby.”

With Luna Starfield’s voice, the entire warship immediately became busy, including all the personnel inside the command ship. They quickly issued all commands and began to check the security of all parts of the warship.

About an hour and a half later, behind Finn Lewis’s fleet and less than 200,000 kilometers away, a large-scale warp appeared. The fleet that was just behind them appeared here. Seeing the warp distance of these people, Finn Lewis couldn’t help but squinted his eyes. It was evident that these guys were more than just tracking a warp trajectory, they even boldly predicted a certain distance coordinate.

Generally speaking, the tracking should definitely warp near the opponent’s warp trajectory, the distance should not be too far because they don’t know which direction Finn Lewis will fly after the warp. This isn’t on land, where there’s just front and back. In the universe, you can fly up, down, left, or right. Once you predict the warp position, if it’s exactly the opposite, the distance will be even further.

But you can’t accurately warp in the place where the opponent warps, in case the opponent leaves you some space torpedoes, then you’ll be out of luck. However, the opponent is obviously not a grasshopper, they turn on the energy shield while warping, the space torpedo would have no effect on them.

So Finn Lewis didn’t even plan to do this, after all, he can wipe them out all at once. However, they will run out of places to run this time, and Finn Lewis naturally doesn’t need to worry about them running away.

Just like before, but this time, the opponent’s flying engine is faster than Finn Lewis’s, but it would take some time to shrink the distance. But during the chase, the opponent started direct attacks.

“Warp” As Luna Starfield’s voice echoed, a golden light burst in front of Finn Lewis’s battleship, then amid the sound of a main gun firing, Finn Lewis’s spaceship vanished. Seeing this, Wind and his team were stunned, then an expression of joy appeared on their faces. Obviously, the opponent’s engine must not have been fully prepared. Now that they’re still warping, it meant that the opponent was forcing the warp.
