That’s why, when the gunfire started, Jia Yan could only sense a fusillade of flames in front of him, completely spilling across his vision!
Two giant two-kilometer-long transport ships were firing from the front, and behind them was a smaller, one-kilometer-long transport ship that was accompanying them. The rest of the vessels, large and small commercial ships, all they had were simple attack weapons. Some even didn’t have weapons, but they were still distributed in different positions across the starry sky, and they were all furiously attacking towards the incoming direction of Jia Yan — even if it meant passengers shooting with their simple electromagnetic weapons!
By now, Jia Yan’s normally azure body had reached its apex. Most of these attacks had been aimed at Otto behind him, so he didn’t feel much pressure.
On the other hand, Otto was having a hard time enduring these attacks!
Although he claims to be a power that can match an entire fleet, that can only happen under optimal conditions of time, ground, and people on his side. Not only is he not known for his defense, but he is also now injured and fatigued, so much so that many of the attacks landed on him!
Facing five hundred assorted weapons and cannons, Otto’s hastily erected brainwave power was suddenly pierced to the sound of gunshot!
Huge tongues of flame enveloped Otto in the vacuum of space; these light weapons really showed their power in space. It seemed Otto was now bathing in a sea of fire.
Taking advantage of this moment, Jia Yan, in a single bound, flew into the two-kilometer transport ship!
Against the backdrop of countless stars, the massive fireworks in the horizon continued to explode, while the two-meter-tall figure in the middle almost completely disappeared under this terrifying onslaught.
As soon as Jia Yan stepped into the interior of the transport ship, he shouted urgently.
As for his commands, the people of Earth City naturally did not be resist at all, and a group of ships that were ready to go spurted out flames at this moment!
From halt to motion, it took less than ten seconds!
One by one, the ships, flames surging from their tails, turned around quickly, and Jia Yan even felt powerful overload forces; inside the transport ship, he could hardly hold his feet!
The flames gradually died out.
A figure, looking slightly disheveled, emerged in the starry sky now devoid of the light of the flames.
With a grim look in his eyes, Otto stared at the ships that had suddenly appeared a hundred kilometers away, his heart filled with bitterness!
What he had originally thought was a weak opponent had played him in this starry sky. If this incident spread, his reputation as one of the five strongest men in the Ostro civilization would certainly take a hit, and it might even affect his position among the five strongest!
After all, the so-called five strongest were created by the public, and Otto knew that he was not much stronger than some of the other strong men in the Ostro civilization. Some things were only revealed in direct combat.
Therefore, he was suspicious that after losing heavily and coming to Grey-Yellow Star for recovery, he suffered such humiliation again. He might even lose his title as one of the five strongest men!
Just then, he received a long-range communication from an Ostro battleship. It didn’t take long before a giant one-kilometer-long aircraft carrier-class battleship arrived at his side.
"Initiate a large-scale starry sky search! Find out where they are, and be sure to catch them!"
After boarding the aircraft carrier, Otto, ignoring the astonished looks of his subordinates, issued orders.
The beautiful starry sky aircraft carrier soared into the horizon shortly after!
The star sea was vast, and all the scenery seemed like still frames in a movie, only when some small meteorites or interstellar dust passed by could one realise just how fast one was moving!
Through the transport ship’s large transparent glass, Jia Yan looked at the pitch-black scenery outside. Seeing that there was no pursuit from behind, he finally let out a long sigh of relief!
If a transport ship is allowed to accelerate, its speed can be truly terrifying—after all, this is a transport ship capable of interstellar trade!
More than three minutes had passed since they had left Otto’s area, and the dozen or so ships were constantly changing positions while in motion. Even though their speed had not yet reached even a twentieth of their maximum speed, the distance from the distant Grey-Yellow Star was already an incredible one.
As he watched a planet that was several times larger than Earth quickly shrinking in his eyes until it could no longer be clearly seen, Jia Yan couldn’t help but marvel at the technology of the alien spacecraft and lament the quick disappearance of Grey-Yellow Star, where he had stayed for a long time, from his sight.
He didn’t know if he would ever go back, but Jia Yan thought to himself, probably not!
But what the escaping Earth City refugees did not know was that their escape was utterly timely!
