Afterward.
Cai Shang'an's flagship began accelerating toward a certain star gate.
The entire Freedom Light Federation was covered by super-large Space Warp Blockers.
Faster-than-light jumps were impossible.
But internal travel was extremely convenient.
Star gates were quite rare in the Purple Thorn Kingdom's starfield.
In the Freedom Light Federation, however, they were everywhere.
There was at least one in every star system.
"Sir, we can close the net now.
While we're cloaked, our ship can't obtain normal access to the star gate."
Mada reminded him in a low voice.
Cai Shang'an's flagship was a battleship.

The shield modules were no exception.
The Dark Peng couldn't capture it outright by boarding.
Of course, even if they could board it in a short time,
Wang Dong wouldn't choose that approach.
This was the Freedom Light Federation.
The advanced stage of the Body Forging Technique was far from the pinnacle of combat strength.
For people of Cai Shang'an's standing, the extraordinary stage of the Body Forging Technique wasn't beyond reach.
The assault captain aboard his flagship already possessed combat strength at the extraordinary stage!

the airspace they were in was near the star system housing the Freedom Light Trading Market.
There were ample security forces nearby.
Once a battle began,
the Freedom Light Federation authorities would soon intervene.
The Dark Peng wouldn't have much
