Chapter 414: Captain's Permissions
Xia Ji Chu believed that his actions were seamless and that no one could possibly notice. However, he was unaware that after his people's movement, they were detected by Red Alert troops.
"Lord Emperor Kong, our people have discovered that over a hundred individuals have left Wuyu City, and their target is our warships."
A Red Alert soldier reported to Emperor Kong. They were equipped with specially modified small radars by Yun Ru, which displayed everything within a hundred-kilometer radius. Those hundred or so dots were now quite prominent.
Once these individuals exhibited hostile intentions, those dots transformed from yellow to red.
"They probably wouldn't mobilize over a hundred people just to seize our warships. Their strengths must be formidable," Emperor Kong speculated.
"According to radar monitoring, the strongest among them is a Seventh Order peak, and the weakest are at the early stages of the Sixth Order."
Emperor Kong couldn't help but sigh. Even in a Level 3 Base City on Earth, the strongest were Controllers at Seventh Order. Those at Sixth Order were just slightly beneath the Controllers, and their numbers were generally no more than fifty.
Yet here, they casually assembled over a hundred individuals. Emperor Kong didn't believe that these over a hundred people were the pinnacle of Wuyu City's elite forces.
Although he hadn't witnessed Xia Ji Chu's actions, relying on his instincts honed through years of battle, Emperor Kong sensed that Xia Ji Chu was definitely an eighth-order expert. The combat prowess of Wuyu City couldn't be underestimated.
These over a hundred people were wearing specially designed clothing that could shield the scanning systems of the warships. It had been tested and proven effective.
Unfortunately, they weren't aware that Red Alert's troops didn't rely on warship scanning systems when detecting enemies. They used a unique radar system.
Logically speaking, radar was an antique on Yan Yun Star, but within Red Alert Base, it was second only to the Spy satellites. As soon as it was activated, the live feed from an area several hundred kilometers in radius would appear, leaving no one hidden.
In the dark of night, the over a hundred people split into five small teams and stealthily approached the five warships. The captains of each team were Seventh Order experts, with one even being a Seventh Order peak. He was a trusted confidant of City Lord Xia Ji Chu.
"We're less than a kilometer away from the warships. Everyone, be cautious. Don't let them discover us. If they do, eliminate them!" The Seventh Order peak expert spoke in a hushed tone.
"Captain, aren't these just people from a small place? We shouldn't worry. I observed them during the day, and it seems their strengths aren't impressive. They wouldn't stand a chance against the Ghost Clan if it weren't for those powerful weapons." A team member whispered.
"Regardless, as long as we secure the warships, our mission is accomplished." The Captain shared the same belief.
If they knew that Emperor Kong was merely minimizing losses, allowing his subordinates to use weapons for combat, they would probably regret their decisions.
The weapons they had displayed during the day were relatively ordinary. They hadn't brought out the truly powerful ones.
As an Earthling, Emperor Kong was well aware that you needed to hold back in unfamiliar territory.
They drew closer to the warships, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters... one hundred meters!
Standing here, they had a clear view of the entrance to the warships. Yet, something perplexed themthere were no patrolling soldiers in sight. That was quite unusual.
"Indeed, these bumpkins must be from a backwater area. They can't even manage basic patrols. Tsk!" The Captain sneered, genuinely looking down on these newcomers.
They had no idea that their every move was being watched by Red Alert troops and Human soldiers.
"Are these people foolish? They actually believe we haven't noticed them. They have no idea where their confidence is coming from." A Human soldier chuckled.
"Maybe they're just feeling good about themselves. After all, they're ignorant about power." A Red Alert soldier laughed.
"My big gun is itching for action! If they dare to enter, I'll be the first cannon!" A soldier wielding an RPG grinned maliciously.
The group successfully approached the entrance of the warships. The Captain gestured, and one person sprinted forward. This individual took out a device and connected it to the door, quickly manipulating it.
After about a minute, a soft sound came from the door.
"Captain, the door is open. Their defense is really weak." This person seemed rather unfulfilled.
"What kind of defense can a warship from a small place have? Enough chit-chat. Once we take over the warship, the City Lord will definitely reward us handsomely." The Captain smiled faintly.
They believed that the warship was already within their grasp.
According to their estimations, the command room of the small escort ship was where they were headed. They stealthily proceeded along the way, disabling all sorts of monitoring systems en route.
They had no clue that all these supposed disruptions were just illusions. Their actions were observed by countless eyes, and Alice even began her live commentary.
"Who gave them the courage? They dare to come over and steal our warship with such shoddy technology."
"If I hadn't given them a bit of leeway just now, they would've struggled to breach the defense system. They even had the audacity to call it simple. Pah!"
"They've taken a wrong turn, a bunch of senseless wanderers! No, I need to quickly adjust the route. Otherwise, they won't reach the command room, and how could we proceed with the next performance?"
With Alice's "assistance" in the shadows, these people finally arrived at the command room.
As soon as they entered the command room, excitement erupted among them.
"What a bunch of fools! They didn't leave a single person guarding the command room. Soon, the warship will be ours! Xiao Huang, quickly take control of the ship's core system." The Captain issued orders.
However, after one minute, five minutes, even up to ten minutes, Xiao Huang still hadn't managed to crack the warship's core system.
The Captain's impatience grew, "What's going on?"
Xiao Huang was sweating profusely, "Captain, I don't know why, but I can't break through the ship's core system."
"Didn't you just say that the core system was nothing special?" The Captain's eyes turned fierce.
This was the most crucial part. If they couldn't crack the warship's core system, they would have to resort to another methodcapturing the captain of the ship and compelling them to surrender all permissions for the warship.
Since it was a battle, there would inevitably be casualties. Captain's goal was to secure the warship without causing any harm.
At this moment, a voice echoed in the command room, "Want the Captain's permissions?"
"Who's there? Show yourself!" The Captain was startled.
In the next second, a virtual projection appeared before themit was Alice.
"Are you the artificial intelligence of this warship?" The Captain furrowed his brows.
He knew a bit about warships. Some warships were equipped with artificial intelligence, making ship control more convenient.
