T2 Hyena-class Medium Star Destroyer - Bridge
The captain, surnamed Su, sat in the captain's chair, gripping the armrests tightly with both hands.
His expression was quite solemn.
Because at this moment, they are blocking the path of hundreds of T3 starships.
"Captain, this is the clan chief's latest order."
"Have our patrol fleet maintain its position and not move!" the adjutant said with a complicated expression.
Captain Su was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Then can we use weapons to attack?"
The adjutant lowered his head and whispered, "Unless the enemy's starships attack first with weapons, we are not allowed to attack first."
"What if they just ram us?" Captain Su said anxiously.
The adjutant's expression was grim: "No...no instructions, just that we keep our positions."
Captain Su was somewhat lost in thought. He knew... that his patrol fleet had now become a pebble, the pebble that Governor Su had used to test the waters.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he also shares the surname Su.
Thanks to the efforts of the Su family patriarch in expanding the family line, the Su family's collateral branches have become even more prosperous. He was merely a descendant of a collateral branch of the Su family, so collateral that it could not be more so.
Like everyone else, it's something you can discard at any time if you want to.
"Captain... this Xiaolong fleet shouldn't be so reckless as to actually dare to... ram our interstellar warship directly in front of Governor Su on Su's territory, right?" the adjutant asked nervously.
"Then you'll have to ask that Marquis Zhao Chen." Captain Su raised his hand and brought up the deep-space telescope on the starship, where the Falcon Fleet's interstellar warships were slowly approaching.
Especially that row of interstellar escort ships with three large black horns on their tops.
"Report! The enemy fleet is five minutes away from our position!" the crew member reported.
At this moment, most people on the interstellar warships of these patrol fleets held their breath.
Not only them, but also the Su family and the interstellar media were paying attention to this scene.
They all wanted to know if this Lord of the Dragons really had the guts to cause such a big scene during the Third Prince's wedding.
"Report! The enemy fleet is three minutes away from our position. There is a risk of collision!" the crew member reported nervously.
Captain Su clenched his fist and asked, "Does the Xiaolong starship intend to slow down?"
"Report, the JF-17 starship has not slowed down at all," the adjutant said.
After a moment of silence, Captain Su said in a deep voice, "Pass on my order: all non-essential combat personnel shall immediately enter the escape pods and await the order to abandon ship."
"Captain... if you issue this order now, what if the higher-ups blame you?" the adjutant said with some concern.
Captain Su was somewhat annoyed: "Blame them? They just wanted to use us to test the strength of the JF-17 fleet."
Isn't it enough to just put these interstellar warships here?
Why must my crew members die here in vain?
"Relay my orders!"
"yes."
"Report: The enemy fleet is one minute away from our fleet's position."
At this moment, the two starships were very close to each other.
Even without using a deep-space telescope, any Su family starship with a porthole can see the outline of the three large black-cornered interstellar frigates opposite.
Captain Su closed his eyes, gripping the captain's chair tightly with his hands.
Fifty seconds
Forty seconds
Thirty seconds
Captain Su shouted suddenly, "All crew members, abandon ship immediately!"
The adjutant gritted his teeth and immediately relayed the order.
In an instant, the escape pods on the Su family's interstellar warship burst out like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden.
Not only this ship, but dozens of other interstellar warships of the Su family's patrol fleet also experienced this scene.
After all, nobody wants to just sit here and wait to die.
At this moment, seeing that the Xiaolong interstellar warship, which was so close at hand, still showed no sign of slowing down, everyone could already guess the outcome.
At such a close distance, it would be too late to slow down.
Governor Su closed his eyes.
The Su family members around him could only watch helplessly as their Su family patrol fleet's interstellar warships were directly rammed by the oncoming Xiaolong interstellar frigate!
The large black ram pierced through the armor of some of the Su family's interstellar warships, and after a brief contact, it was torn to pieces.
Some even ran directly over the hulls of the Su family's interstellar warships.
T3 starships crushing T2 starships is no big deal.
Moreover, these are all Zhao Chen's T3 Triceratops-class interstellar heavy assault frigates.
All thirty interstellar warships of the Su family's patrol fleet were destroyed without exception.
It became nothing more than an embellishment on the advance of the JF-17 fleet.
Everyone who witnessed this fell silent.
No one expected that this Dragon Lord would actually have such courage.
Not only did they threaten the governor of the Zisu Starfield with their T3 interstellar missile ships, but they also crushed the Su family's interstellar warships right in front of the governor.
This isn't just a slap in the face; it's like defecating on the Su family's face.
"Governor... what do we do now?" someone asked the governor.
Governor Su opened his eyes, his gaze deep and unreadable.
"Your Highness, this girl has been handed over to you."
"This is a matter for you young people's feelings; we old folks won't get involved." Governor Su looked at Qin Hu beside him.
Qin Hu's lips twitched. This cunning old bastard.
At this point, it's time to sever all ties.
Because everyone could see that the opposing JF-17 fleet was trying to steal people.
And that stance was clear: whoever blocks my way, I'll crash into them; come and crash into me if you dare.
If you dare to start a war, then you should consider whether your Su family starport and Su family main star can withstand the interstellar missile bombardment from my five T3 Judgement-class heavy interstellar missile ships!
While it would be a good thing to form a marriage alliance with the princes, it would be risky to take the lead at this time, risking the destruction of one's own starport and main planet.
Governor Su was unwilling to take the risk.
"Good, very good." Qin Hu uttered two words, then turned and led his men back to his T4 Star Emperor.
Qin Hu certainly couldn't just stand by and watch his fiancée be taken away by someone else.
Although he currently only has three hundred interstellar warships under his direct command, the rest are just small fry.
But he just didn't believe that if he started fighting, the Su family would dare to stand by and do nothing!
"Clan leader, this... are we really not going to do anything about it?" a member of the Su family asked.
Governor Su said calmly, "Wait."
"Waiting for what?" someone asked, puzzled.
"If those five T3 interstellar missile ships opened fire, it was aimed at other interstellar fleets and the Third Prince's fleet."
"We'll intervene then," Governor Su said.
