Engineer silently nodded, "Multiple jumps will significantly shorten the total voyage. Calculating with a distance of 5 light-seconds, we can jump up to 7 times."
"Seven chances, should be enough."
Isaac stared at the three-dimensional space projection above the bridge’s table, calmly stating: "Everyone return to their stations. In three minutes, concentrate all shields on the starboard, jump behind their last ship, and fire at the enemy ship with the starboard guns. Then adjust the gun mounts, preparing to jump again directly between enemy ships twelve and thirteen."
Everyone on the bridge of the Blood Eagle was momentarily stunned. Experienced officers quickly realized Isaac was planning to trap themselves in a dire situation to survive, relying on short-range jumps to get behind the enemy ships and use them as probability cloud cover.
After a round of firing to eliminate one enemy ship, they would immediately jump between two enemy vessels, using the pre-adjusted heavy guns on both sides to fire instantly.
It’s known that the biggest advantage of the Blood Eagle compared to the enemy pirate group is its super high-capacity energy shield on large ships. However, at extremely close ranges, both sides’ heavy particle guns could exert full power, making the shield almost useless.
Isaac’s decision was much like a gambler going all-in at the gambling table, betting the lives of everyone on board on a very small probability, and doing it seven times.
After a brief moment of stunned confusion, all crew members on the bridge, whether pilots or engineers, surprisingly returned to their respective stations. There was no persuasion, no argument, only silently carrying out the captain’s extremely risky decision.
"This commanding ability, must be surname Yuri," Li Cheng muttered under his breath.
"Who is Yuri?" Gray Rain asked, "Is he famous?"
"He is Youla’s cousin, Yuna’s cousin, Ymir’s sworn brother, the mentor of the queen of psychological manipulation Shiho Meitoki, and once invented a musical instrument called the Ukulele. Likes to take graduate exams; fails and retries three times."
Li Cheng spoke nonsense, his gaze sweeping across the entire bridge and focusing on the command room.
The front of the Blood Eagle was designed openly, with a large number of senior officers and operators sitting behind the control stations, coordinating and controlling the ship’s artillery, communications, energy distribution, and engine power.
The control stations were packed with dense panels, joysticks, and buttons, but there was one button, vivid as blood, red in color.
According to the Narrative Cage’s style, it’s most likely the button for the [Main Character Effect Room].
"This Isaac probably is also a heroic figure, still helplessly trapped in the engine room, unable to distinguish reality from illusion. I’ll have to find an opportunity myself to press that button amidst the chaos."
Li Cheng’s mind raced, his thoughts focusing on the item bar, fixating on [Thunder Horn] and [Final Redemption].
The structural strength of the Blood Eagle’s interior is far inferior to the Narrative Cage. Judging by the description of the Thunder Horn, it might destroy the bridge, or at the very least cause a disturbance.
Gray Rain gently pulled at the corner of his clothing, her expression somewhat peculiar.
Li Cheng turned to look, only to see Gray Rain pointing her other hand towards the LCD panel, which displayed the core of the ship, heavily armoured emergency refugee chambers. Due to its special structure, even if the entire ship was bombarded, the emergency refugee chambers would not deform or get damaged.
And inside the chambers were hundreds of women, elderly, and children. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelFɪre.net
They were dressed in ordinary clothes, appeared healthy, their faces showing no more than fright and unease, without signs of prolonged torment or abuse. Some women even held picture books and dolls, trying their best to comfort the frightened young children.
These people didn’t look like prisoners of war or slaves, but more like... protected refugees.
