The ship was something that Lin Fan could control remotely with the automated driving that had been installed. That was how they were able to escape with just the four of them and not a crew to drive the ship.
Lin Fan controlled the ship so that it was in space above where they currently were.
Once the ship was positioned, Lin Fan summoned out a bunch of pets.
There were many injured people, so it was very unlikely that they would be able to move on their own. The only thing that he could do was rely on his pets to carry them into the ship.
But before they could do that, Lin Adam sent out Brainy's puppets to scout out the surrounding area. Working with the soldier who had the earth laws, he created holes that would allow the puppets to reach the surface.
Once they were on the surface, they quickly spread out all over the planet to look for traces of the Beast Race.
Since Brainy had broken through, she was now able to cover a much larger area with her spiritual sense. It wasn't even a problem for her to cover an entire planet like this with her spiritual sense.
So she was able to check the entire planet to see if there were enemies around.
But to their surprise, they found that there wasn't a single Beast Race troop left. There were only corpses of Beast Race troops that were left behind and nothing else.
It was as if they were the only ones left on this planet.
Where did all the Beast Race troops that had been here looking for the remnants of the third army go?
Did they withdraw because they couldn't find anything or was there a different reason for why they were gone?
Whether it was, it was very unsettling…
But Lin Fan didn't have time to waste right now.
It was already bad that he had spent all this time scouting out the planet, but if they wasted any more time, there would be people dying. So he had to bring them away as soon as possible.
So without thinking too deeply into why the Beast Race was gone, Lin Fan started bringing people out of the cave underground and onto the ship.
They couldn't bring everyone just in case there was an ambush that Lin Fan had missed, so they brought people out in groups instead of bringing them all out at once. While they were being brought out, Lin Fan's pets surrounded the area, making sure that it was clear.
During this time, not a single thing happened.
There wasn't even a single sound that was made around them. Almost as if there wasn't even a breeze around them.
No matter how he looked at it…it seemed like it was too quiet.
It was almost like this was the calm before the storm…
Still, they were able to load everyone onto the ship without any problems.
The ship was equipped with all kinds of different facilities, which included a medical bay. So they were able to put some of the heavily injured people in there and stabilize them.
But of course, that didn't save them.
They would still need medical attention or they wouldn't be able to last much longer. Though it did prolong the time that they did have.
So Lin Fan started the ship and flew out into space without hesitation.
He knew that they were already on their way, so he took the direct route to the eighth army camp.
While this route might be dangerous since there would be all kinds of different Beast Race Experts waiting for them, it was the fastest. With the speed of the ship, he was confident in outrunning the Beast Race Experts until they made contact with the reinforcements that were coming.
But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they left the planet, they would be surrounded.
The Beast Race also used ships, but the ships that they used were much more primitive than the ships that humans had. In fact, the "ships" that they had were nothing more than saddles that had been placed on beasts that could travel through space.
However, these ships carried quite a few Beast Race Experts.
Once they were surrounded by the Beast Race, the beasts came out of the ships and started attacking Lin Fan's ship.
They didn't even send anyone to negotiate, they just sent out their experts to destroy Lin Fan's ship.
Unfortunately, they were only expecting Lin Ao and the third army remnants. They had no idea that Lin Fan had already met up with Lin Ao's group.
There wasn't a single person in Lin Ao's group that was in the World Realm other than him, so they had only sent a few World Realm Beasts. Moreover, these were beasts that were only in the Star Realm, so they were no match for the ship's defenses.
These were beam weapons that had been made to hurt even those in the Sun Realm, so these Star Realm Beasts were unable to fight back against these beam weapons at all.
As soon as the beam weapons hit them, they disintegrated right away.
When the other Soul Realm Beasts saw this, they didn't hesitate to run away.
Unlike human armies, the Beast Race forces didn't have the same unity. They followed the leaders of their various tribes and when those leaders were taken out, they would run away.
As for who the leaders were…they were the Star Realm Beasts that had been blown to pieces by the beam weapons.
So in no time at all, the Beast Race forces that had surrounded them were scattered away.
When the third army soldiers saw this, they couldn't help looking at Lin Fan in shock. They never thought that this ship of his would be this powerful…
Wasn't this at the same level as the battleships that their army owned?
These were top of the line battleships that each army only received ten of.
Each army had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and they only received ten of these battleships.
Lin Fan had one all for himself.
That was just the difference between normal soldiers like them and royals from the Lin Astral Family.
Once the path had been cleared, Lin Fan wasted no time in taking the shortest path back to the eighth army's camp.
As he had expected, there were many Beast Race Experts that they ran into along the way. However, not a single one of these Beast Race Experts were able to stop the ship.
They were all taken down with a single blast of the ship's beam.
Lin Fan couldn't help feeling sorry for the engineers that had come with him.
They had followed him to see the power of this ship, but he had to leave them at the camp when he snuck off. So now that the power of the ship was being displayed, they couldn't see it at all.
It seemed like they wouldn't be able to see their baby in action for some time.
After all, once Lin Fan returned…it was very likely that he would be grounded by Lin Jian. So there was no chance that this ship would be able to leave the camp again.
But that was fine for Lin Fan since his only goal in coming was to rescue Lin Ao.
As long as he could get Lin Ao back to the camp, he didn't need to go fight the Beast Race.
So all he could do was give a silent apology to the engineers.
As they came closer and closer to the eighth army's camp, there were less and less Beast Race Experts that attacked them.
That wasn't strange though since this was near the eighth army's camp.
The eighth army might be an army that specialized in rescue missions, but they were still an army in the end and were capable of fighting still. They would have cleared out the area around their rescue camp to ensure that the people they rescued were safe.
Still, they weren't out of the woods yet until they reached the eighth army's camp.
As they came closer and closer, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling that something was off.
They were already more than halfway there, but they hadn't run into the reinforcement team yet…
It was almost as if they weren't coming, but that wasn't possible. So the only explanation was that something had happened either to the team or at the eighth army's camp.
Perhaps even now, they were just getting closer and closer to a trap.
Lin Fan thought about many different scenarios, but in the end, he still decided to head back to the camp.
Without knowing what happened to the camp, he wouldn't be able to plan their next move.
In the end, they weren't able to reach the eighth army's camp before they were surrounded again.
This time, the ones that surrounded them weren't the grunt soldiers of the Beast Race, but rather actual experts.
But Lin Fan could see that these Beast Race Experts were injured to a certain extent.
It seemed like his guess was right…something must have happened at the camp that delayed these reinforcements.
Without hesitation, he fired the beam weapons at the Beast Race Experts around them. However, this time, the beam weapons didn't have the same effect as with the others.
These were actual experts who were able to resist the power of the beam weapons.
These were actual Beast Race Experts in the Sun Realm.
