Chapter 1580: Put One's Life on the Line |
"What kind of backup plan is it?" Alan could tell from Tarot's expression that Simil's backup plan was definitely not easy.
'"It's very simple. In order to prevent the backdoor program from starting, I made another arrangement. I have a jammer that can cause the defense system to malfunction for about five to ten seconds. During that time, Omiska's shield will disappear. However, this jammer must be inside Omiska before it can be used, so I have to go in." Simeel said.
'"How are you going to get in? The back door of the shield can't be activated now. You'll be detected as soon as you enter the range of the shield, right?" Allen asked.
"I want the Kidds to find out. Uncle Tarot, send that message." Simeel looked at the old man.
The old man hesitated and said, "Miss, this is too risky."
"As a princess of the Ancient race, taking such a small risk for the future of the entire clan is nothing. We can't enjoy it peacefully, can we? Go ahead and do as I say."
Tarot sighed and sent an encrypted message according to Simir's instructions. Alan looked at the girl and said, "Now you can solve the mystery."
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. If I don't kill you first, you'll probably stop me." Simeel's cat ears twitched, and the girl said mischievously, "Actually, it's nothing. I asked Uncle Tarot to send Saffle a message saying that I came back with the stolen message and demanded that Saffle exchange it with his clansmen freely."
"It's impossible for Saffle to agree," Allen said immediately. "And if you hand over your things, he'll kill you immediately."
Ellen looked at the girl in surprise. Simeel's plan could be said to be a desperate attempt to survive, and as long as there was a mistake in his calculations, he really couldn't die anymore. However, Simeel's expression was absolute, and there was a look of irrevocability in his eyes. It could be seen that this girl had already made up her mind, and she was completely different from the sad and frustrated Simeel from before.
"You've grown." Alan touched her head.
Simeel stuck out his tongue and said, "Follow His Majesty. At least you have to learn something. Otherwise, it will be a joke."
At this time, Tarot turned around and shouted, "Received a communication request from Omiska."
"Uncle Tarot, connect to Channel 2. I'll head over immediately." Simeel jumped out of his seat, looked at Alan, and left the driver's seat.
Tarot explained, "Miss is planning to leave alone with the spare small ship, so our starship doesn't have to be exposed."
Sure enough, Alan saw another single-handed airship pass through the porthole after a while. The airship's stern engine spat out electric fire and charged towards Omez. Not long after, a group of Kidd warships met up with them and led the single-man ship into a special passage.
Tarot stood up abruptly and shouted, "Cheer up, keep an eye on Omiska's shield. Don't waste anything that Miss has done."
The driver's cabin echoed.
Time passed bit by bit. Fifteen minutes after Simil left, the flickering green signal lights on Omisgana's surface suddenly turned red in patches. The shield that covered the entire planet disappeared after two flashes.
Tarot's pupils constricted and he shouted, "Let's set off immediately. Turn on all the power. We need to enter the planet as quickly as possible. This will be our only chance before the detection function of the defense system recovers!"
"I know!"
"Understood!"
The two pilots shouted loudly as they quickly operated the starship and flew towards Omiska at full speed while stealth. Above the cab, a screen counts down. Alan looked at the screen with rapt attention. At this moment, he could only choose to trust Tarot and the others.
Seven...
Six...
5.
Four...
3.
2.
One...
Zero!
The moment the numbers returned to zero on the screen, Omiska's shield rose again. The starship could pass by and crashed into the interior of the Star of Machines. Without an atmosphere, Alan soon saw the planet's surface. As Simir said, Omiska is vast and flat, with no rolling mountain ranges, let alone oceans or forests.
The area that Tarot and the others chose to enter was in Omega, a remote area. There was only an abandoned slave management area here. Apart from that, there were only three or so regular surveillance towers. As the starship lowered its base, one could see a straight crack leading to the other side of the horizon. Large cracks like this were common in Omez, and they were the boundaries between different regions.
Dozens of seconds later, the starship landed steadily and activated camouflage mode. Tarot stood up and said to Alan, "Your Majesty, we have to separate here."
Alan nodded and said, "Keep in touch. Be careful."
They left the starship. On the ground, two land vehicles were being pulled down. One of them clearly had the style of a Kidd. Tarot patted the khaki-colored, bulky carriage on the road. "This is the Kidd's ground war chariot. Your Majesty, use it instead."
Ellen jumped onto the road and connected to the intelligent terminal Simir had provided him. Very quickly, a route was displayed on the control screen of the Land Car. Alan turned on the autopilot function and the Land Car spun four times. Very quickly, there was only a black dot left in Tarot's field of vision.
Tarot got into another land vehicle and said to the others, "We have to seize the time."
The two land vehicles drove in different directions.
Within the Kidd palace, Saffle walked quickly. A golden noble beside him said, "Your Majesty, the princess of the ancient race came back too suddenly." Prior to this, Lord Fini had gone to Los Angeles to pursue them, but she quickly lost contact with them. "I sent people to planet Loz to investigate. I only know that Lord Fini encountered an expert, and the entire mobile unit was killed. As for the Ancient Princess, she has disappeared."
"It's only been a few days since she came back. This subordinate thinks there's something fishy about it."
Saffle snorted coldly, "So what? What else can a deceased princess do? She feels that she can't escape our pursuit, so she simply trades it with us. She wants to exchange for the freedom of the Gus and dream. Where is she now?"
"He has already been escorted here. Does His Majesty want to personally interrogate him?"
