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.
“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.
