The Divine Arrow spaceship had as many as seven types of camouflage systems, but the simplest and most practical was still the "face-changing" system. This system simply used Divine Light Technology's energy source to block the enemy's quantum and ion detection, and then fed back the wrong information and signals to the reconnaissance party.
In other words, the enemy's radar did not show the true face of the Divine Arrow spaceship, but the appearance of the Songqing spaceship. It was a classic camouflage, but this could not be helped. It was best not to expose Mou Xing's spaceship. Once it was exposed, it would probably cause a huge uproar.
After the communication authority was released, the long-distance real-time transmission was indeed connected in thirty seconds. Countless lights flashed in the hall, and a mirror image was being generated.
This time, there were two images transmitted. One of them was none other than Lan Ling, who had escaped from the Fomalhaut headquarters.
Ding Meng suddenly understood. Lan Ling knew that she was no match for them, so she must have gone to outer space to get reinforcements. The Apocalypse Group could not have acted alone. They had come to Rainforest Planet with great ambitions, so they must have prepared a backup plan. However, he did not expect this backup plan to be three huge interstellar fleets.
Other than Lan Ling, the other person was an imposing and handsome man. The man was dressed in an expensive suit. He must be an important person in the Apocalypse Group.
"Hello, friends. This is the Norse Empire Apocalypse Group's outreach fleet. I am Gu Beiming, the vice president of the Apocalypse Group. I have come to Rainforest Planet to look for Ling Qingshan under the orders of the group's higher-ups. To prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings, please drive your Songqing spaceship into our rescue port. Our group will treat you as an important guest. Thank you for your cooperation!"
His tone was polite, but the content of his words was not. It was a bit like a military fleet shouting, "Please enter the port for inspection, or we will use force."
Ding Meng turned to look at Su Xia. Even with the mask on, Ding Meng could feel that Su Xia's face was ashen. What a coincidence that they met here.
Little Rascal answered calmly, "I'm sorry. We have no misunderstandings with you, and we don't know anything about Ling Qingshan. Please don't block the way."
This was a typical denial. Lan Ling had already returned to the fleet. Who would believe that Ling Qingshan was not in Ding Meng's hands?
Beiming Gu revealed a playful smile. "Miss, are you sure your spaceship won't fly over?"
Little Rascal smiled. "Are you sure you have the ability to make me come?"
Beiming Gu sneered, "Let's wait and see."
With that, the call was cut off, and the image disappeared. Little Rascal turned his gaze to Su Xia. "Do you want to kill this person?"
Su Xia clenched his teeth and said, "That heartless and unscrupulous bastard. All these years, I've been itching to tear him into pieces."
Ding Meng smiled and said, "This is the vice president of Apocalypse Group. Are you sure you want to go against them?"
Su Xia spat, "Bullsh * t Apocalypse Group. They're just animals."
Little Rascal nodded. "I'll give you and Ding Meng 15 minutes. I'll teleport you to the mothership on the other side, take out their main leader, and find their main control console. Leave the rest to me and Xin Jie. Are you confident?"
To be honest, Little Rascal's idea was really bold. Ding Meng also believed that with Shenguang Technology and Xin Jie's technology, teleporting them over would not be a problem. However, for a fleet of the Apocalypse Group's scale, it did not make sense that there were no experts on the mothership. At the end of the day, no one had any idea how strong the enemy was.
However, Ding Meng had absolute trust in Little Rascal. "Isn't 15 minutes a little too long?
Can we hold off their firepower? "
Xiao Ai said proudly, "That's not something for you to worry about. Your mission is to find the central control panel and open up all the permissions. Let Xin Jie paralyze their command system, then we'll have a chance to slip away."
Su Xia hurriedly said, "Let me accompany Ding Meng. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I must kill this animal with my own hands."
At the same time, on the Dragon-class mothership, the huge command hall was brightly lit. Hundreds of staff members were nervously busy. All the control panels were on standby. Even though they were facing a small Songqing spacecraft, no one dared to let their guard down.
Although Beiming Gu was the vice president of Apocalypse, he was not the commander of the fleet. The commander was a white-haired old man.
"Elder Chen, the other party refuses to cooperate. What should we do next?" Beiming Gu asked.
Elder Chen looked at Lan Ling. "Assistant Lan, are you sure Ling Qingshan is in their hands?"
Lan Ling nodded affirmatively. "I saw with my own eyes that Ding Meng killed Ying Xiong in an instant and forced Ding Meng to hand over Ling Qingshan. I can't be wrong. Ding Meng is in that Songqing spacecraft on the other side."
Elder Chen was obviously very experienced. He muttered, "Killed Ying Xiong in an instant?
Although Fomalhaut doesn't have many experts, to kill a leader in an instant, this Ding Meng has to be at least a Battle Monarch level expert, right? "
Beiming Gu's mind worked quickly. "Elder Chen, you mean that once the other party's spacecraft is controlled by us at the port, there must be a corresponding person controlling Ding Meng?"
Elder Chen said, "Go and inform Zhen Zhang and the others to return to the mothership and report to me immediately. Pass down the order. The patrol fleet is to set out and drag the target unit back to the mothership's rescue port. We must ensure that no one on this Songqing spacecraft is harmed."
As soon as he gave the order, three "Hunter class" patrol ships left the fleet and slowly flew towards the Divine Arrow spacecraft.
Little Rascal suddenly laughed. "I knew the other side was very suspicious and wouldn't dare to directly attack. Little Ai, activate the defense system."
In the eyes of everyone on both sides, the Songqing spacecraft seemed to be scared silly. It was fixed in space and didn't move at all. It allowed the patrol ships to slowly approach and seemed to have given up on struggling.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The cannons at the front of the three patrol ships suddenly spat out three twisted and thick blue electric currents, hitting the surface of the Songqing Spaceship. This was not a concentrated attack, but a type of braking energy. Its purpose was to imprison the Songqing Spaceship and then directly drag it back to the mothership.
This method was commonly used by the major fleets of the Norse Empire. It was simple, violent, direct, and effective.
After the three electric currents hit the spacecraft, they didn't cause an explosion. Instead, they quickly expanded and formed a blue spherical energy field that firmly controlled the spacecraft. The three patrol ships surrounded the Songqing spacecraft from three different directions.
Little Rascal created a small screen and pushed it in front of Xin Jie. "This should be fine, right?"
Xin Jie smiled confidently. "Don't worry. If these three unknown things take the initiative to contact the mothership's communication system, I'll be able to determine the teleportation coordinates within 30 seconds."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The burning sound of the energy was exceptionally rough. The Songqing spacecraft's entire body turned blue. Because the light was too strong, it looked as if the entire spacecraft had been distorted.
But here was the problem. The Songqing spacecraft still didn't move. Even such powerful energy couldn't shake it.
"What's going on?" Elder Chen was a little angry. "Are the people on the patrol ships dozing off?
Why aren't you dragging the target back? "
A nearby worker immediately answered. "Sir, we don't know what's going on, but we can't drag that Songqing spacecraft."
Elder Chen was a little surprised. The tiny Songqing spacecraft wasn't even a match for the Falcon spacecraft. Under the Hunter class patrol ships, it was like a bug. How could they not be able to drag it?
"Notify the frontline to increase the firepower. They must drag it back in one piece." Elder Chen ordered again.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There was another series of loud noises and a blue light appeared in space. The three electric currents had now increased to six, and the confinement energy had doubled. To be honest, it could even drag a medium-sized starship, but Songqing Spaceship was still motionless. It was as if it was nailed in space by a nail, and the energy field surrounding the spaceship had doubled in size.
Elder Chen finally felt that something was wrong. "Zoom in on the reconnaissance radar. Let me see what's going on."
The real-time image quickly unfolded. The spherical energy field formed by the six confinement firepower looked blue. In fact, every ten seconds, the surface of the energy field would suddenly emit a circle of white light in all directions. This process was very short and difficult to capture with the naked eye.
This was definitely not a confinement energy field. It was clearly some kind of defensive countermeasures of the Songqing spacecraft. Elder Chen instantly made a judgment. "Analyze its composition!"
A new screen immediately popped up on the main control console. The screen showed the blue energy field. Now, a green crosshair was locked on it. Beside it, densely packed data patterns were refreshed rapidly.
"Click click click click" a series of rapid sounds. This was the sound of the successful decoding command.
Perhaps one sound would be acceptable, but when the light screen rang out consecutively, it really made one's heart skip a beat.
Elder Chen turned his head again. "What's the situation?"
The worker said in a trembling voice, "Sixteen layers of its defense have been decoded consecutively. But the core position has not been detected. The opponent's defense composition is too complex. It's impossible to analyze it thoroughly."
"What?" Elder Chen couldn't believe his ears.
The Apocalypse Group represented the highest level of starship technology in the Empire. Even he could not analyze it. What kind of god was this Songqing spacecraft?
In fact, this situation was exactly the same as when Du Pei led the Federation fleet to pursue the Expedition. How could human technology break through the powerful defense of Shenguang Biotechnology?
Little Rascal said proudly, "Just increase the power. They're charging us. I was just worried about not having enough power."
Xin Jie suddenly said, "We've located the exact coordinates. Unfortunately, it's in the middle of the mothership. The opponent is a little cunning. They've completely sealed off the bridge. Looks like Ding Meng, you can only force your way in."
Ding Meng nodded. "No problem. Don't worry. Send us over. I want to see who can stop me."
At this moment, Elder Chen also changed his mind. "Pass down my order. Deploy the Skywalker assault ship!"
Beiming Gu was shocked. "Elder Chen, I'm afraid that this will destroy the spacecraft. They have this kind of defense mechanism. I'm afraid they obtained it from the super warship. The higher-ups want to take control of the warship."
Elder Chen was stubborn to the end. He said sternly, "Nonsense. If we can't even destroy a small Songqing spacecraft, how can we take control of the super warship?"
Beiming Gu was speechless. This was completely fallacious logic. But thinking about it carefully, this fallacious logic made sense. If you couldn't even take down a Songqing spacecraft, if you really found the super warship, then everyone could only watch helplessly.
