The system handed me over to the state.

"It's clear that one of you is a quantum demon. I haven't even held you accountable for keeping the quantum demon alive, yet you're turning around and attacking me?"

A flicker of doubt crossed Bronya's eyes, a doubt that was immediately noticed by the other, who then revealed a mocking expression. "Haha... I see, so that's how it is! Even you yourselves didn't know! You yourselves didn't know that a quantum demon was hidden among your people!"

"Now, I'll give you a chance. Hand over that quantum demon, and I can let you go. In addition, I'll consider it a passing grade. How about it?"

Bronya roughly understood what the other party meant by "quantum demon." They referred to Black Hill as a quantum demon... It seems that these civilizations hold such an attitude towards things that come to the quantum space.

"What if we refuse?"

"Refuse? This is not something you can refuse. You have no right to refuse. The sudden death of the quantum demon is enough to trigger an attack from all advanced civilizations."

“I’m giving you advice, not an order. If you don’t listen, we’ll have to resort to unconventional methods.”

"Unconventional methods..."

Bronya looked at Su Xi, "What do you think?"

"have no idea...."

"Put the tablet away for now. We don't know the true strength of the enemy, and rashly declaring war could put us at a disadvantage."

"Besides, we haven't discussed this with Gong Ning yet. You're on our ship, and you can protect us in critical moments, but you can't protect Gong Ning."

Su Xi realized that Bronya was already showing signs of being ready to go to war, so Su Xi quickly stopped her. Bronya, now stopped, began to carefully consider their situation and their next course of action.

"It's too late. You can't expect us to hand over Hei hope, can you?"

"I know, but we need to stall for time, to buy enough time to prepare."

"I understand."

Bronya picked up the tablet again and said to the impatient fox-man, "I understand. I will return the people we have detained to you. As for the quantum demon, we need some time to investigate. When I teleported up, she was gone. She probably knew that she had been discovered and was hiding on our ship. We need time."

"Heh... I hope so. I'm willing to give you this opportunity. I hope you can really do what you say... I'll give you one day. If you can't take the picture, then we'll come and find it."

"You'd better not try any underhanded tricks, or... you'll all perish here together."

The call ended, and Su Xi sighed, pinching the end of her hair. "You've really gotten yourself into a lot of trouble."

"But this problem can also be easily solved. I'm pretty sure of one thing: these alien races aren't physically strong, and close combat is to our advantage."

"We can have the time-space assault teams from both ships board their vessels and sabotage them from within, while we try our best to hold our ground and defend against their attacks. We can also use the Yamato guns to attack the key parts of the enemy ships to help with the internal assault."

Bronya briefly explained her plan, and Su Xi nodded. "The method is good, but the details of its implementation need to be refined. You can go and rest; leave the rest to me."

"I will devise a battle plan and contingency plan, and notify our allies to evacuate this area as soon as possible. Finally... if you don't mind, I hope you can join the assault team to storm in."

"Well, I see."

Next, Bronya left temporarily, while Su Xi immediately contacted Gong Ning. She needed to discuss an effective action plan with Gong Ning to ensure that they would not suffer any casualties.

The death of any one person on the spaceship would be a huge loss for them, so if possible, they want to ensure that everyone can survive!

Back in the dorm, Bronya looked at Kurohime lying quietly on the bed and placed her hand on Kurohime's cheek. "Still not waking up?"

Bronya sighed, and Seele asked in confusion, "Sister Bronya, so back then... what exactly were the weapons those people used to attack us with...? I don't understand. Those weapons didn't hurt us, but they were very effective against Sister Black Seele. Did they have weapons specifically designed to target Sister Black Seele?"

"It's probably just a coincidence...but it's okay, we'll know the answer soon enough."

Chapter 440: Inside and Outside Cooperation

“They brought the person back, in a way that we’ve never seen before.”

"Oh? A method I've never seen before? Tell me about it."

The fox-like male captain was somewhat surprised. Over the years, what hadn't they seen? How could something they had never seen before appear? Could it be related to quantum space again?

The crew handed the video to the captain, who watched as an inverted energy field appeared on the ship, then a metal cabin was teleported in. The cabin door opened, and Ariwenty was inside.

"Also, Captain, I have some information to report..."

"Go ahead."

"After Ariwenty was teleported back, she told us to leave immediately, saying that our ships were no match for the enemy, and that we used our instruments to check that her mind was unaffected and everything was normal. We..."

"Ha! You're kidding! The other side is just a low-level civilization, while we are a high-level civilization. Even if they have some advanced technology, do you think they can withstand our attack?"

"I know the technology they used before, the powerful shields, and that black and red energy shield—all of these consume energy."

"Their attacks cannot destroy our ships, but our attacks can easily reduce them to ashes."

However, the crew member still looked hesitant. "But Captain... the inspectors on the ship said that if you attack this civilized ship, or even destroy it, they will report the whole thing and hold you accountable."

The crew members looked rather grim, as if holding them accountable was a very troublesome matter. The captain clicked his tongue and said, "Then we won't destroy them. We'll just cripple their ships and then arrest them all and send them to the judicial authorities."

"I've made my decision. I'm ready to fight at any time!"

"Understood, Captain!"

Meanwhile, aboard the Nuwa, Bronya was fully armed. She was covered in a layer of light blue and white armor that clung to her body, outlining her exquisite figure. Her long gray hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her blue eyes held a hint of surprise.

"It fits quite well... I thought it would feel a bit tight in my chest."

"What do you mean? Are you saying I have small breasts?"

Su Xi punched Bronya in the chest, the punch landing with a thud on the metal armor. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

"Alright, I'm getting ready to leave. I'll leave the bridge to you."

Su Xi snorted, "Just watch closely. With me here, no one on this ship will get hurt. But you, you promised me you'd bring everyone back safely."

"Don't worry, I mean what I say."

Bronya looked behind her at the assault soldiers wearing even heavier and larger power armor. Although there weren't many of them, with her there, taking down the ship quickly shouldn't be a problem.

After Su Xi left, Bronya turned around, operating her goggles as she addressed the soldiers before her: "I have uploaded all the ship scan images to our command terminal. Everyone can view them. Remember, after the transfer is complete, split into two groups: one to the ship's engine area, and the other to the bridge command post."

"Although these fox-orcs are physically weak, their energy weapons are extremely powerful. Even I wouldn't dare to take them head-on. When facing barrage of fire, don't even think about using your shield or armor to withstand it."

"That's for saving lives in critical moments, not for you to use as an invincible shield."

"Do you understand?"

"Understood, sir."

"Understood, Captain."

"I understand, I will take good care of myself."

A series of responses came in waves, which surprised Bronya. She had expected these people to respond in unison, like a military unit, but now... it was a bit unexpected, but still acceptable.

"You guys have quite a few personalities... Alright, await the captain's orders, teleportation can begin at any time!"

While Bronya was getting ready, Su Xi returned to the bridge and initiated communications with the foxes' ships.

"Oh? You're pretty fast. Looks like you've already found it, right?"

“I can show you a little mercy. Kill that demon in front of me. If it were us, we would show no mercy and tear your demon to pieces!”

"Oh, really? Would you like to try this?"

"Captain! We've detected extremely high energy fluctuations! The enemy has opened fire!"

The next moment, the reactors at the bow of the Ningye and Nuwa ships rapidly charged, and the purple source of power quickly gathered. The next moment, it shot out from the bow and was launched directly towards the fox man's ship in the distance!

"Hey! How dare you hit me! Are you all crazy?"

The power of the Yamato Cannon quickly depleted the rectangular spaceship's shields. Su Xi looked at the fox-man's expression and said calmly, "I've made myself clear today: we will not kill any of our compatriots, nor will we hand them over to others."

"There are no quantum demons here. The attack just now was merely a warning. If you continue to attack, we will not hold back in the slightest!"

"The Earth United Organization will never fear any enemy! Nor will it betray its own people."

After saying that, Su Xi waited for the other party's reply. The fox-like male captain's expression became increasingly ugly. "You forced me to do this... You attacked me first. Even if I sink you, I have a reason to go back and report to my superiors."

"Well... just wait and see... what's going on with you?"

Before the fox-man could finish speaking, the ship began to tremble violently.

The fox-like man nearly lost his footing and fell onto the deck. A crew member beside him anxiously reported, "Captain! Our shields have been breached! The stern of the ship has been hit by an enemy attack!"

"Damn it! What are you all still doing here! Fight back! Fight back!"

The next moment, communications were lost, and the bridge alarm on the Nuwa sounded.

"Warning! Energy weapon fluctuations detected! Large number of missiles approaching!"

"Deploy automatic interceptor drones! Maximize shield charge rate and reduce the Yamato gun's power to enter main gun mode!"

"Thrusters fully deformed, preparing for lateral movement! Main guns must remain aimed at enemy ships at all times!"

The lights from the engines at the stern of the Nuwa and Ningye ships suddenly dimmed, but the next moment, numerous power jets emerged from the sides and bottom of the ships.

The two ships quickly changed their orientation from facing the enemy from the side to facing the land head-on, and the next moment, the Yamato gun reactors at the bow of the ships began to operate at ultra-high power.

The purple Yamato cannons fired in rapid succession, bombarding the fox-man's intermittently appearing ship shields. Due to the reduced power, the Yamato cannons hitting the ship's hull broke through the enemy ship's armor, but did not cause any fundamental damage.

In addition, the enemy reacted quickly, and devices similar to defensive target drones were also deployed. Although the enemy's interception progress was not high and the frequency was not fast, it was enough to intercept their main guns.

"It's not bad that it could actually intercept our main gun."

That's more like it. Now let's see how the other side plans to break through their interception target drone.

But the smile on Su Xi's face quickly faded. "Captain, the enemy's energy weapons are very powerful! Our shields can't withstand them for too long! Otherwise, the shield core will overload!"

"Tsk! I knew it!"

"The ships should perform evasive maneuvers to minimize the chance of being hit by enemy attacks!"

"Maintain the status quo; we must hold out until the mission to dismantle the Time-Space Commando Team is completed!"

At this moment, Su Xi realized that the battle between them and the enemy could no longer be decided by normal combat. Now it was a contest of endurance. Either they would win, or the enemy would eliminate them.

"Tell the Time-Space Commando that they can depart."

After relaying the order, Su Xi opened Gong Ning's communication device. "Gong Ning, how's the situation on your end?"

"Fortunately, I can still hold on. Most of their attacks are going towards you, which has reduced the pressure on me a lot!"

"You have to hold on. Our main guns have been intercepted by the enemy, and the missiles and laser cannons are having little effect. It's very difficult to break through their shields."

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle it."

In space, each unit of the two ships, Ningye and Nuwa, had a large number of artillery groups unleashing laser fire at the enemy. However, the enemy's shields were no weaker than theirs, and the lasers were not very powerful, even having difficulty breaking through the enemy's shields. Their main guns were also intercepted.
