Chapter 1771 - A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1771: 483 Ship Breaker and Death God’s Lock_2 Staff members were coming and going in the corridor. According to the orders of the supreme commander, tonight was supposed to be a period of silence. The majority of people were in a state of rest. However, an ambush by Captain Grey had brought everyone back to their work stations. At first, many didn’t take it seriously. But when they saw the video of the giant beast raging on the screen, everyone’s expression turned extremely grave. In the middle of the hall, a very tall commander in silver-black armor asked in a deep voice, “What’s the situation with the Skyhawk now?” Dante, who was beside him, hurriedly replied, “The damage is very severe.” “The first, second, and third bridges are heavily damaged.” “Over two hundred starship crew members have been thrown to the ground.” “The braking system has completely collapsed.” “The fourth bridge area, which houses the Sealing Demon Magnetic Field, is currently the most intact.” “But it’s also possible that the alarm is broken, or the spiritual energy constant sensing plates have malfunctioned, so the data we see may be overly optimistic…” The commander stared intently at the ape on the big screen: “Where is he now?” Dante shook his head: “Not clear.” “The video shows the giant beast only appeared for just over half a minute, then disappeared.” “In that half minute, he caused terrible destruction to the Skyhawk; if it’s not repaired in time, this starship may be beyond saving!” “According to the emergency plan, we must immediately dispatch more than forty outer space rescue units to perform emergency handling on the remaining modules of the Skyhawk…” The commander still sounded somewhat bewildered: “A giant ape?” “I’ve never heard of such a beast in the void, have you?” “Wait, why would the Skyhawk be at Hume Three?” Dante remained silent. Nobody else dared to speak either. The commander sneered, glanced at the log next to him, and his tone became much more relaxed: “Captain Grey acted without orders, causing unprecedented damage to the Skyhawk, send this report to the general!” Dante didn’t dare to delay and immediately took action. He knew, his own commander belonged to the general’s faction and was not on the same side as Captain Grey. Now that they had found the right person to blame, the next step would be to follow the procedure. “Transmit my orders, open three gates to outer space on the Space Barrier, not to last longer than thirty minutes.” “Activate all emergency rescue units in the north, all to fly towards Hume Three.” “Remember, the sole objective of this mission is to save the Skyhawk, nothing else matters, understood?” As soon as these words were spoken, there were immediate objections from beside him: “This could be a plot by external forces!” “They want to use this to open the Space Barrier!” “You should know, many people have been loitering around the Hume Tri-star recently, and their target is the Ether Core…” The commander scoffed: “So, what you mean is that Captain Grey is colluding with external forces?” The space undead belonging to the same faction as Captain Grey was at a loss for words. The commander didn’t wait for him to speak, but forcefully pushed his own orders through against all objections. Everyone present knew all too well, not to mention that saving the Skyhawk was unquestionably the top priority, even if it weren’t that important, the commander would seize this rare opportunity to kick Captain Grey when he was down with a heavy blow! This was a rare counterattack opportunity for their faction, since the general had been exiled. They naturally wouldn’t miss it. Very quickly, numerous small planes took off one after another from the northern military base and other bases. The night sky above Storluk Planet was soon filled with a dense matrix of flying vessels. The gates of the Space Barrier slowly opened. The small planes flew in orderly lines through the narrow gateways and then sped towards the direction of the Hume three-star at great speed! In the command hall, with the issuing of one order after another, the tense state of the commander’s body also began to relax a little. He kept reviewing the video of the Eastern Immortal Ape ravaging and destroying the starship, then couldn’t help but ask: “Any clues yet?” “About this beast?” A staff member was flipping through a large stack of materials, when he heard this, he pushed his glasses and hesitantly said: “Combining the recent intelligence obtained from Aindor, “I think this beast might not come from the void but is the Shapeshifting Form of a powerful spellcaster.” “Specifically, that spellcaster is a name you may have heard of…” The commander lowered his head, his tone filled with impatience: “Out with it!” The staff member immediately said timidly: “Matthew the Destroyer!” The commander was stunned upon hearing the name: “Isn’t he a necromancer?” The staff member pushed his glasses again: “He is indeed a necromancer, the Undead Calamity that occurred half a year ago on the Sampan Plane also corroborates this fact.” “But intelligence indicates that this necromancer always breaks the mold…” Saying so, he handed a large stack of materials directly to the commander. The commander grabbed the materials and glanced through them quickly, then his tone became even weirder: “Doesn’t this just break the mold a little too much?” The staff member fell silent. At that moment, everyone suddenly noticed a pale blue light shining from below the Space Barrier. A vast and ancient totem rose up within the pale light and then vanished without a trace.
