Roland’s Imperial Guards quickly took control of the situation.
Just as Luoye Ranchen had seen, the level of these star thieves were only in the 30s, or around three and a half stars in strength.
The imperial guards were of similar strength to them, with the captain Li Zhecheng even reaching four stars.
The star thieves were caught off guard. There was also the natural advantage of elementalists, so they had no chance of winning.
Merck was stunned when he saw the Roland guards who suddenly appeared in front of him and subdued all the criminals in one go. At the same time, he felt that their clothes looked familiar.
At this moment, a sad cry from the side interrupted his thoughts.
He turned his head and saw a girl around fifteen or sixteen years old rushing toward the man lying in a pool of blood, crying and shouting sadly.
Obviously, the unlucky guy used by the star thieves as an example to scare others was the girl’s bodyguard.
Merck, who had regained a sense of lightness, felt heavy again.
They went out on a trip happily. Who would’ve expected them to encounter something like this?
There were medical personnel on board, but based on his experience, this man might not be able to be saved…
There was little hope unless he was sent to a medical cabin immediately. But where could they find such high-end medical equipment as a medical cabin?
The thought of someone dying caused him to lose the desire to travel. It was obvious that many of the frightened passengers had the same idea as him.
On the other side, the controlled medical staff member was freed and quickly stepped forward to help with the final first aid.
However, whether he could survive or not depended on this man’s luck.
It was because the nearest habitable planet with a medical cabin was at least a day’s journey away…
The bodyguard lying in a pool of blood probably knew the fate he was about to face. He opened his eyes with great effort, and felt relieved and sad when he saw that the star thieves had been dealt with.
“My son… please…”
Before he could finish his words, his eyes closed again and his breathing gradually became weaker.
The girl cried even louder, making the atmosphere in the reception hall heavier. The joy of surviving a disaster was diluted a lot.
“Make way, make way, please make way!”
Just then, a voice interrupted the girl’s crying. However, the strange language wasn’t the universal language and no one present could understand it.
People looked over and found that it was one of the warriors of the Roland Empire.
He was wearing very classical clothing and his handsome face looked calm. He seemed to be the leader of this group of soldiers. It was he who had been commanding when capturing the star thieves.
After subduing all the criminals, Li Zhecheng noticed the situation here. He ran over quickly and pushed away the medical staff member performing first aid.
His rough action attracted the angry eyes of the medical staff, but he ignored her and quickly gave the bodyguard a bottle of health medicine.
The healing potions provided to the Imperial Guards were naturally of the highest grade. Li Zhecheng was usually reluctant to use such a good thing.
However, the situation was urgent now. His Majesty said before departure that the safety of the people on this ship must be guaranteed and they must be brought safely to the Roland Empire.
So even though it hurt, he had to take it out.
The medical staff member watched his actions and quickly realized he was saving people. She slowly restrained her angry expression.
Then she was surprised to see that the bodyguard’s face, pale due to excessive blood loss, quickly regained its rosy color. He even woke up again after fainting.
The bodyguard blinked and stared blankly at Li Zhecheng. Like the other passengers, he was somewhat confused about the situation.
Wasn’t he going to die?
Why did he suddenly feel… full of strength?
Was this some type of miracle drug?
Yes, this must be the legendary magic potion!
Watching the magical skills displayed by the Roland soldiers when fighting against the star thieves, Merck felt that he had guessed the truth.
However, there was much more to the story than he guessed.
Seeing that the wounded man had regained his vitality, the medical staff member prepared to treat his wounds but was stopped by the soldier again.
Li Zhecheng asked her to be patient. Then he turned to look at his subordinates and shouted, “Adam, come and treat him!”
Health medicine could restore vitality, but it had no effect on wounds. If this unlucky guy continued to drag things out, he would still die.
“Okay!”
Adam responded and hurried over.
The young warrior came to the bodyguard, got to one knee and saluted respectfully.
“Honorable guest, please allow me to treat you.”
He didn’t know that this was a bodyguard. He only knew that the passengers on the spaceship were His Majesty’s guests and needed to be treated with caution.
However, his gentle and respectful attitude did make the injured person feel at ease.
Adam didn’t delay any longer. He gently placed his hand on the bodyguard’s abdomen and released his magic power.
Thanks to the removal of the level restrictions, the talent of Roland’s elementalists had awakened once again. Many skills that were previously difficult to learn had become easier to master.
For example, someone in the Imperial Guards successfully learned water healing. Thanks to Niya teaching them, they had a deeper understanding of the water healing technique.
Adam was the one who learned the best among them.
In less than three minutes, the terrible hole in the bodyguard’s stomach was repaired little by little.
By the time he removed his hands, not only had the wound healed completely but the skin also became smooth and delicate. There was no visible scar, and it looked as if there had never been an injury at all.
The bodyguard, who had been ready to die, now stood up in shock. He lifted up his shirt and touched his belly.
“Okay? I’m okay?”
He had no problems apart from feeling weak!
If there hadn’t been a large pool of wet blood on the ground, he would’ve even suspected that what had just happened was a dream.
The passengers witnessed this miracle with their own eyes. Their eyes were filled with a burning light when looking at Li Zhecheng and Adam.
What type of magic trick was this?
So this was magic! It was incredible!
Merck was also trembling with excitement.
He no longer had any regrets and only felt that this trip was worthwhile!
It was a great opportunity to see real magic in his lifetime. Even if the food of the Roland Empire wasn’t delicious, it was definitely worth a visit.
He really wanted to grab the soldier, who was obviously the leader, and had a chat with him. He had already seen a huge business opportunity from the scene just now
However, Li Zhecheng ignored them for the time being.
He first asked the guests to go back to their rooms to rest. He left a few people to guard the prisoners and asked the others to search the ship for the security personnel of the travel company, who had been controlled.
Meanwhile, he personally rushed to the captain’s room
In the captain’s room, the scar faced man and his accomplices had been controlled.
They had taken the captain hostage before the guards showed up, so the battle here had been a bit more troublesome.
Fortunately, it ended safely.
But the delay on both sides meant that several star thieves who were looting valuables in the cabin got the opportunity to escape.
The ship of Blood Dance didn’t hesitate to abandon their accomplices. They quickly broke away from the tourist ship and fled with the surviving star thieves.
“That was a close call!”
Luoye Ranchen and Wutui Techang hid in the utility room of Blood Dance’s spaceship. They couldn’t help sighing with relief when they saw that the spaceship had successfully separated and was starting to enter the jump passage.
They didn’t want to return to the Roland Empire together. It was better to wander the universe with star thieves than to go back like this!
“Huh? My rescue mission didn’t fail.” At this time, Luoye Ranchen saw the system notification and couldn’t help saying in surprise.
However, his contribution was 10% while Techang’s was only 0.1%.
“Isn’t this too unfair?” Wutui Techang was a bit unconvinced.
He also received a rescue mission, but just as he received it, Roland’s NPCs rushed over.
“Why did you get so much contribution?”
Luoyue Ranchen was also confused. After all, he only wandered around in the spaceship and didn’t fight any NPCs, nor did he have time to cause any damage.
But the system notification didn’t provide detailed information. In the end, he didn’t hesitate and happily accepted the reward.
Then he discussed the next plan with Wutui Techang.
Meanwhile, the Imperial Palace of the Roland Empire.
Xu Sili, who was closely following the battle situation, soon received good news.
All the passengers were rescued and the injured were well treated, so the journey finally continued without any danger.
Sadly, they failed to wipe out Blood Dance in one go.
It wasn’t known if the people from Blood Dance discovered something, but the spaceship was disconnected from the Star Network as well as the tourist ship’s network
Xiao Wu was unable to track them for the time being, let alone control the spaceship.
“Don’t worry, Brother. I will definitely catch them!” Xiao Wu said angrily.
“They will definitely leave clues as long as they act in the universe. I won’t let them slip away!”
Xu Sili didn’t care much about it. After all, the annihilation of the Clive star thieves and this incident meant that no star thieves would dare to provoke Roland again in the short term.
However, if he also destroyed Blood Dance’s base, would he be able to gain the title of ‘Star Thief Nemesis’?
Xu Sili smiled, comforted Xiao Wu and contacted Li Zhecheng, asking him to lead the team to escort the ship and ensure the safety of the route.
After receiving the order, Li Zhecheng stayed on the spaceship.
The leader of the tour group also welcomed them. It was because after this incident, the passengers on the ship had lost confidence in their security system.
He could only be thankful that Roland’s rescue came just in time!
Li Zhecheng was very happy that he finally had a place to put his skills to good use. But after a few days, he started to regret why he had to learn the universal language.
He was the one who spoke the universal language the best and was the captain, so the wealthy people on the ship especially liked to chat with him.
It was okay to just chat, but the girls also liked to ask him some strange questions.
“Beauty projects?”
The moment he complained about it to Wen Jishan, the administrator’s eyes lit up.
