Chapter 71: Chapter 60 Dusk Strikes_3

After all, the target of the Dusk Fleet is surely the Space Station, so it’s unlikely they’d send many ships to chase down the ones that escape.

Therefore, choosing to leave on the Iron Ore No. is a worthwhile move.

Whether it’s to fly directly away from danger or to find a way to lurk on the edge of the main battlefield, looking for opportunistic chances.

It’s a better choice than staying at the dock and leaving things to fate.

As Chen Ming thought of this and planned to act on it.

Many others in the dock shared the same idea as Chen Ming.

Some had already started their ships, while others were on their way to them.

Among the vessels flying out toward the Space Station, Iron Ore No. was rather inconspicuous.

Following the flow, Chen Ming quickly maneuvered Iron Ore No. outside of the Space Station.

At this moment, the outer layer of the Space Station could be seen covered with various heavy weapons usually hidden beneath armor, which only a construction of this magnitude could bear.

However, Chen Ming’s attention was immediately drawn to the Dusk Fleet detected by the sensors.

The Dusk Fleet was currently gathering at the edge of the Star System, numbering over a hundred.

A warship that appeared to be a Cruiser served as the flagship.

This Cruiser measured over a kilometer in length, with three large energy weapons larger than the entire Iron Ore No. mounted on three major load-bearing points at the front, middle, and rear of the ship.

If Chen Ming remembered correctly, these weapons were likely the Speed Particle Technology Company’s once-prized product, the Speed Particle Spear.

Using hyper-speed particles as its weapon, it bore the enormous expense of emitting a terrifying high-energy particle torrent capable of destroying everything in its path.

The Speed Particle Spear was developed at the same time as the Dusk AI Core, and thus was taken by the rebellious Dusk when it equipped its unmanned warships at the time.

The Speed Particle Spear Chen Ming saw now must be a stronger version modified over many years by Dusk.

The sensor could only detect this much information about the Dusk Cruiser; the rest of the information was hidden within an electronic fog.

But merely seeing this was enough to make Chen Ming start worrying about the safety of the Space Station.

However, there was no point in worrying.

Because at this moment, the Dusk Fleet was already forming a battle formation, eyeing the Space Station covetously.

Although there was also a fleet stationed near the Space Station.

The highest tonnage ships of the Space Station’s fleet were merely destroyers, which were nothing in the face of that kilometer-long Cruiser.

Fortunately, although the Space Station itself couldn’t move, its heavy armor and strong weapons could still support its combat capability.

Otherwise, Chen Ming felt that the Dusk Fleet might not even need to organize its formation, charging straight at the Space Station could possibly level it in one go.

In the time that the Dusk Fleet took to organize its formation.

The civilian ships that had just left the Space Station had mostly withdrawn safely from the potential conflict zone.

Most ships initiated their Superspace Navigation Systems and jumped into the Superspace Channel after reaching a certain distance from the Star System’s ecliptic plane.

However, some ships lingered at the potential battle’s edge.

They likely shared the same thoughts as Chen Ming, hoping to pick up some benefits around the battlefield’s fringes.

Collecting even a scrap of Dusk spaceship wreckage could save unknown amounts of labor.

Not to mention the possibility of acquiring a complete Dusk spaceship, and most importantly, the Dusk AI Core.

The value of such an item is truly immeasurable.

Chen Ming believed that it wouldn’t be surprising for people to do anything under the lure of profit, so he continued to control Iron Ore No. to distance itself from the ships still lingering nearby.

He then swapped the two Machine Guns for Electromagnetic Spears, finding these far more useful than the Machine Guns.

What Chen Ming needed to do now was actually quite similar to when he encountered pirates at the Dark Graveyard.

Except back then, Chen Ming could rely on the range of the Electromagnetic Spears to inflict what was nearly a dimensional attack on other civilian ships.

But now, the 20,000-meter range might mean nothing against the professional warships of Dusk.

So, unless he was particularly certain of success, Chen Ming would avoid reckless actions, instead looking for opportunities in places unlikely to be influenced by the battle.

As Chen Ming flew his ship away from others.

The Dusk Fleet finally set their formation.

Just as everyone thought the battle was about to occur, each of Dusk’s warships suddenly halted in place.

They had arranged their formation but did nothing at all.

Without any action, they appeared as some quiet exhibits.

At that moment, nearly everyone who saw this scene had the same four words in their heads.

”What’s going on?”
