Chapter 129 - Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers
Chapter 129: Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The entire spacecraft was in panic amidst the blaring alarms. Were the seatbelts not already buckled up (albeit forcefully) prior, the whole place would have been in chaos by then. The protective shields activated one by one, enveloping the passengers who had had their seat belts buckled tightly. Only Lan Xuanyu, who had gone to the toilet at the last minute, wasn’t inside.
“Quick, bring me there,” Lan Xuanyu yelled at the flight attendant. His loud voice shocked the flight attendant, and she allowed herself to be dragged almost subconsciously.
“You… do you really know how to pilot a space warship?” The flight attendant asked anxiously and stumbled as she followed behind him.
“Yes.” Lan Xuanyu nodded firmly.
At that very moment, he was thinking about the time when he and his mother were in the skyscraper building. That time, when they were in danger and were about to be killed by the terrorists from the City of Sin, he was utterly helpless.
Right now, his parents were in the spacecraft, and if the space pirates destroyed it, his entire family would surely perish.
‘Although Daddy and Mommy are Soul Masters too, they don’t specialize in battling and aren’t even Mecha Masters––they are at a complete loss in this vast universe. Let me protect them, then.’
As the saying goes, “Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers”––he had no idea what fear was at this moment. The security personnel of the spacecraft was already battling outside in their mechas. The flight attendant was panicking and became instinctively influenced by the imposing manner of this young man, so she actually brought him to the lower deck.
Actually, with Lan Xuanyu’s Spiritual Power of over 200 points, ordinary people would still be quite in awe of him. The flight attendant felt a sense of security as he pulled her hand.
However, the flight attendant didn’t know that the person before her had never properly driven a space warship before. He had merely trained in the simulator for a couple of years.
One was a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, while the other was seized with panic. This allowed Lan Xuanyu to see a real space warship for the first time.
The space warship in the lower deck appeared in front of Lan Xuanyu. After training for so long, this was the first time he’d seen a real warship.
This space warship before him had a sleek silvery-grey body; it was about 25 meters long and had a wingspan of about 18 meters. The primary weapon was the rapid-fire Soul Guidance cannon at the front. It didn’t have a magazine, which meant that there weren’t any super weapons such as a powerful antimatter missile. In fact, it was impossible for a civilian spacecraft to carry that sort of weapon anyway.
It was a very basic space warship, to say the least. Even so, Lan Xuanyu was extremely exhilarated to see it.
“Thank you,” said Lan Xuanyu to the flight attendant next to him before he sprinted to the warship. He propped himself up with both hands on the wing and was seated in the cockpit in a few moves.
When he entered the cockpit, the familiar feeling immediately poured over him.
The cockpits of Soul Guidance spacecraft were quite similar; the higher-end the models, the more reasonable the layout, but the method of operating would be more complicated.
Lan Xuanyu had learned for over three years, after all, and had been piloting every night. Yin Tianfan’s teaching method was to make him continuously practice actual combat, as well as to correct mistakes and teach him new techniques in the process.
He pressed on the button to activate the space warship, and the entire plane vibrated instantaneously. A low rumbling resounded, and the cabin cover over his head slowly closed up.
Communication was also established at this moment, and a surprised, angry voice came through, “Who is this? Who activated the space warship? I am the captain.”
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and purposely deepened his voice, then said, “Hello Captain, I am a space warship pilot. Coincidentally, on this spacecraft, I overheard the flight attendant saying that there wasn’t anyone who could pilot a space warship. With the enemies ahead, I didn’t have time to ask you for permission. Please open the lower deck and let me join the battle.”
“You’re a warship pilot? What is your designation? Which unit are you from?” The captain was taken aback and asked urgently.
“There’s no point in asking so much now. Captain, please open the lower deck quickly. Otherwise, once the protective shield breaks, it’ll be over for everyone. You must trust me.” Lan Xuanyu wasn’t old, but he was quite mature; he obviously knew that he couldn’t reveal that he was just a 12-year-old kid.
“Alright, I’ll have to trust you then.” Due to the space pirates’ repeated attacks, the protective shield was already on the verge of crumbling. The captain gritted his teeth and finally chose to trust him. He didn’t seem to have any other choice.
The lower deck opened slowly, revealing the lower body of the spacecraft.
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and pressed the button, and the helmet behind slowly began covering his head. His Spiritual Power was immediately released as well, allowing his spirit, mind, and emotions to fuse with the plane.
The basis of modern space warship piloting was the coordination of Spiritual Power and operation. This was the most effective way to control the space warship in order to perform various battle forms.
It was impossible for him not to be nervous––this was his first time piloting a space warship, after all! There wasn’t a system to reduce the sensation of pain, nor would the simulated training be over once the warship was blown up. Once destroyed, it meant death.
He was nervous, but he was more excited. He could finally pilot a space warship, and his first time piloting was even a real battle. How could Lan Xuanyu, who had worked so hard for the prior three years, not be thrilled? Even Yin Tianfan, who was extremely demanding, thought that he was ready to pilot a real space warship. ‘I can do it, yes, I can definitely do it.’
He raised both hands and didn’t even need to look as he activated the various systems in the space warship. Both his hands moved rhythmically—his left hand swiftly pressed different buttons while his right hand pushed the propeller lever firmly. The only jet engine at the back of the space warship gradually spewed out orange flames as it propelled the space warship to slide downwards.
Seeing that he was about to leave the lower deck, Lan Xuanyu suddenly pushed the propeller lever to the maximum extent, and the space warship shook violently like a missile launching into the boundless space.
Tang Le sat quietly in front of the first-class cabin’s window, and the giant window allowed him to see everything outside.
At that moment, following the attacks from 12 mechas, it had undoubtedly attracted the attention of those five pirate spaceships, and the attacks on the spacecraft decreased.
But the spaceship’s concentrated attacks suppressed those mechas, and they were unable to get near them. In addition, many dark yellow mechas began flying out of the pirate spaceships at once.
There were over 20 of them.
Compared to space warships, mechas were more versatile; not only could they battle in space, but they could also battle on land for a long time while space warships were unable to fight on land. However, mechas’ speed and explosive force could not compare to that of a space warship. Hence, to be cost-effective, pirates rarely deployed warships and would use mechas most of the time. Also, Mecha Masters were more popular than space warships pilots. A mecha could be brought along anywhere; after all, nobody would bring a gigantic space warship with them everywhere. Therefore, mostly only the Federation’s fleet would have warship pilots.
20 against 20, including five warships––the outcome was foreseen. It seemed like it was just a matter of time until this spacecraft got destroyed.
Then, Tang Le furrowed his brows as his long blue hair rustled as well. Next to him, Young Noble Le was trembling as he looked at the situation outside, and he was surprised to see that Tang Le’s long hair was flying at the back of his head like a cape. His right hand was pressing against the window in front of him, and a faint golden color flashed across it.
The captain of the spacecraft watched the rapid space warship through the monitor and couldn’t help but wave his fist excitedly. From the way the warship came out of the lower deck, he could see that this was definitely a very seasoned warship pilot.
