Chapter 823: Chapter 641: Freedom at Last!_2
According to the Giant Beast Compendium, this type of Giant Beast was considered relatively easy to deal with. Its attack method involved preparing and storing poison in that enormous bottle beforehand and then spraying it at its enemy when encountered. Generally, before running into an enemy, such a Giant Beast would not waste time and effort producing poison, given that carrying around a large jar full of it was tiresome. However, at this moment, the hostages were inside the poison jar, and if the Giant Beast were disturbed, just the slightest injection of poison into the jar would kill all the hostages.
Fortunately, there was still a way out.
Initially, in order to capture these Giant Beasts, the team responsible for orchestrating the Giant Beast battles had come up with many methods to capture them. And the Giant Beast in front of them had a significant weakness: it had no vision at all. The Giant Beast lived underground and did not rely on sight but on its sense of smell and echolocation to track down enemies. However, now in the vacuum of space, neither smell nor echolocation could function, allowing one to approach it with ease.
The fleet quietly stopped in the distance, and a group of warriors donning specially-made armor departed in small speedboats. From afar, the hostages could see the warships, stirring intense excitement in their hearts, but at the same time, they were even more worried that Isrile would return now. Despite Bronk painting the situation as highly dangerous earlier, who knew what unexpected events might occur?
But their worry was useless here; they had no means of communication. Moreover, having been captured by Isrile for so long and serving these Giant Beasts, the wealthy and noble had had enough. Even the smallest chance of success meant freedom forever! But if unsuccessful—well, they might as well continue to be slaves!
Almost everyone watched with that mindset as the speedboats approached, and the warriors disembarked, surrounding the Giant Beast.
Soon, the warriors began casting a special Magic that put the Giant Beast into a deep sleep on the ground. The warriors immediately got to work; they wanted to remove the beast’s jar in its entirety. After all, the outside was a vacuum, and the hostages would die almost instantly if they left the jar.
The jar of the Giant Beast could regenerate since such a large and conspicuous jar was easily damaged and therefore easily replaceable. The warriors skillfully detached the enormous jar from the Giant Beast’s body while maintaining its sealed state. Then several pre-prepared speedboats lowered ropes, which the warriors attached securely to the jar.
"Freedom! We are about to be free!"
Finally, a woman covered her mouth and cried out loud. As a young lady accustomed to luxury and privilege, she had never suffered like this before! She had to prepare food for the Giant Beasts every day! Those damned Giant Beasts! Once I return, I will use my Family’s power to exterminate you all! But before that, I must relax thoroughly! I want to indulge in eating, drinking, and merry-making to my heart’s content!
And this was almost everyone’s thought.
But just then, the Giant Beast that should have remained still suddenly moved a little. Everyone present was terrified, thinking that the Giant Beast had sensed the loss of its jar and was going into a frenzy. But to everyone’s surprise, the Giant Beast turned and began walking slowly towards the rear.
Then it suddenly leaped into the empty space!
What’s happening?
Confusion filled everyone’s eyes.
And at that moment, the space in front of them twisted, and a spaceship larger than the Asteroid slowly revealed itself! Below the spaceship, where its round body was, scales retracted, opening a path for the Giant Beast, which then entered. Afterward, the colossal spaceship slowly turned and accelerated, disappearing from the sight of the onlookers!
"That’s... a Phantom warship!"
The Commander responsible for the rescue was shocked.
The warriors engaged in the rescue were shocked.
And the hostages being rescued were shocked as well.
The Phantom warship had a notorious reputation in this Plane, although not many had seen it with their own eyes. Those who had seen it could not help but be stunned by its immense size and incomparable performance. In fact, not only the Azure Sky Empire, but nearly everyone in the universe coveted this warship. Possessing it might lead to the long-lost secrets of the Giants! And the secrets of the Giants might turn one into the ruler of the universe!
For years, countless people, families, and emperors have tried to find the inheritance left by the Giant, but nothing as tangible as a Phantom battleship has ever emerged.
But now, the Phantom battleship has actually fallen into the hands of the Giant Beast Queen!
Almost everyone was so frightened they couldn’t speak.
In the end, it was the Commander in charge of the rescue who recovered first.
"Saving people is what matters! We’ll talk about the rest when we get back!"
Although they had not been able to conduct any survey of the Phantom battleship this time, each exploration of the Phantom battleship was more or less the same. However, this time they had saved all the hostages, how could this not be exhilarating!
This was absolutely grounds for promotion and nobility!
The immense jar was slowly brought into the warship by a speedboat. It wasn’t until the jar was placed on the ground that the hostages truly began to cheer.
"Long live the Azure Sky Empire! Long live the Azure Sky Empire!"
No one knew who shouted first, but soon everyone was shouting together.
At this time, aboard the departing Phantom battleship, Bronk was always puzzled by the decision that Isrile had made.
"I don’t understand, my Queen, why did you let those hostages go?" Bronk asked.
"I have no use for them, and now that we have these mechanical centipedes to take care of us, might as well give them back," Isrile said nonchalantly.
"That’s inappropriate, my Queen. You know, having these hostages in our hands is much more useful than sending them back! Especially once they actually catch up to us, they will hesitate to attack fully because they’ll worry about the lives of these people," Bronk said.
"So what? Actually, I was hoping they would attack with all their might," Isrile said.
"Well, even if so, don’t you think it would be better if you didn’t want to keep them alive, to kill them instead? That way they won’t spill your secrets!" Bronk added.
"Not necessarily," Isrile laughed. "In fact, I really don’t think that group of people will survive in the end!"
At that moment, inside the warship.
The massive lid of the jar had been opened, and inside the jar, there was a blur of flesh and blood.
The warship’s captain’s smile was frozen on his face. (Don’t miss the pie in the sky event, cool mobile phones are waiting for you to grab!
