Chapter 679: Chapter 673: Ready

However, for people like Jasmine Davis, once Finn Lewis was gone, they would have no other ways to live and it would certainly end in death. So, Finn couldn’t just let them walk into their graves. This was the best choice. Moreover, Finn trusted Luna Starfield’s judgement. Even if these people weren’t trustworthy, they should be able to escape safely in the end.

In any case, Finn didn’t need to worry about his own safety as he could simply transfer himself into another space-time. Even though the permanent portal to the other space-time was open, Finn wasn’t worried about that.

After Jasmine Davis finished speaking, there was no further resistance. What surprised Finn was that there were a lot of people under Jasmine in the control cabin. They all heard Finn’s conversation with Jasmine and Luna Starfield, but no one raised any objections after Jasmine made her decision.

This proved that Jasmine had a high level of respect among them. These were space pirates, and it wasn’t easy for a group of pirates to be unified like this, unlike a formal army like the Police Department.

With Jasmine’s consent, Finn redirected his attention back to Luna Starfield. “Luna, can you start drawing the enemy’s entire fleet towards us without leaving any traces? But it should happen this way; they’ve just jumped to our back as we’re just about to warp jump away from them. Keep that status, that’s all.”

“I can do that,” Luna quickly responded. “However, this requires some modifications to our engines. Our warp jump distance and corresponding engine preparation time are surely known to our enemies. By adjusting our warp engines, reducing our cooling time, we can leave enough room for ourselves.”

“Just follow your plan then. When it comes to engine modifications, I believe that Davis should be able to handle it,” Finn said plainly.

“I can communicate it to him. I can find a modification plan for this type of warp engine in my database, which allows us to reduce the cooling time of the warp engine by a third and also decrease the energy consumption. However, it will shorten the lifespan of the engine,” Luna explained bluntly.

“That’s not an issue. I’ll give you a new warship when the time comes,” Finn said, addressing Jasmine Davis. She didn’t doubt this as Finn had just bought a hundred warships, the worst of which was a second-level warship far superior to their current one.

So, Jasmine didn’t doubt this. She knew what Finn had decided just now. This was clearly a plan to hook the enemy in. There were just about twenty hours left, and if they could gather the enemy’s fleet together, that would be a one-shot win.

After the enemy had warped here and found a navy waiting for them, what would happen? The only thing that Jasmine was somewhat worried about now was the reliability of the Wren Clan, the family that sold Finn the warships. But she knew from their current situation that they had no other choice but to trust them.

With Finn and Luna Starfield’s assurance, that Davis and Luna directly started adjusting the warp engine. Since they were still in the process of flying, the engine adjustments couldn’t be completely improved, they could only be partially adjusted. This would indeed boost the engine’s performance, but it would cause permanent damage.

But now none of these matters. Under Luna’s “control,” their spaceship was quickly detected by the enemy. At first, Luna’s warp jump distance wasn’t very far. Finn even had the chance to see the enemy fleet, just a few hundred thousand kilometers away, through the reconnaissance satellite. From what Finn could see, the enemy’s fleet had begun to rally.

Clearly, after detecting Finn and his spaceship, the enemy had begun to gather its forces. Although their combat strength was much stronger than Finn’s, they knew that Finn had issued a bounty notice. Perhaps some intrepid mercenary groups were rushing over.

Any mercenary group that dared to come here must be powerful. So, at this time, their natural response was to rally their own force.

If they were scattered and their main fleet got destroyed, that would be the end. Wind Martin wasn’t careless “Sir, we have tracked down the enemy’s whereabouts. According to our current analysis, we should be able to catch up with them in two days at the most as our engines are better than theirs.”

“Hmm, have you taken measurements on their engine and our warp jump distance?” Although chasing them was good news, Wind Martin was still cautious and spoke seriously.

“We have identified the model of their spaceship. The engine on their spaceship is already at its maximum capability, just an outdated warship.” A person next to Wind Martin voiced.

“Right, do not let your guard down,” Wind Martin nodded. “Since that’s the case, let’s go after them with all our might, but also be prepared for each warp jump to avoid getting caught by some reckless mercenary groups.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Alright, go. We have to track them with full effort.” Wind Martin gestured. They didn’t have other choices now.

Wind Martin had also caught sight of their warship earlier. Since he saw it, the tracking wasn’t far away, so he wasn’t in a hurry. There was no use in rushing now.

After several warp jumps, Luna finally spoke. “Your Highness, I have a communication from Caleb Shaw.”

At this point, there were only ten hours left. Finn quickly accepted the communication. “Your Highness,” Caleb was in high spirits as he saw Finn. Clearly, Caleb benefited a lot from this transaction, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so happy.

“Hmm,” Finn nodded.

“Your Highness, the fleet is ready and can warp jump at any time. There are a total of 130 warships in the fleet, 92 of which are those bought by your Highness, and the remaining 38 are 20 first-level supply ships and 18 second-level supply ships,” Cassidy West announced, highly elated.

“Hmm, I got it. Once you receive my notice, warp jump over immediately,” Finn nodded.

“Also, your Highness, warping will take approximately an hour. You can notify us in advance.” Caleb added.

“Hmm, understood. When I notify you, have them ready for battle. I guess the enemy has dozens of warships.” Finn thought for a moment. He decided it was better to clarify it in advance.
