Chapter 127: Star Pirates
After four days of sailing, the escort fleet has completed half of the journey.
There was nothing unusual along the way.
But neither Wang Dong nor Chen Shayi relaxed their vigilance.
The raid before rebirth took place in the airspace not far from the mining area.
A star pirate group attacked blatantly in front, and a fire warship of the leader of the star pirate group and twelve assault ships firmly pinned down the escort fleet.
When Chen Shayi's "Skylark" chose to charge and kill a bloody way, a Fire warship led by the Highland Viscountcy, which was behind the escort fleet in advance, waited for an opportunity to move. Under the two-sided attack, the escort fleet suffered heavy losses.
Chen Shayi was forced to send Wang Dong to an assault ship, and then sacrificed himself with the "Skylark" to cover the rear, risking his own life, and letting the Tomahawk appear to interfere, so that allowed Wang Dong to escape.
This time, it was obviously because of a series of changes that the Star Pirates, who were supposed to have appeared long ago, changed their plans.
Obviously, the unexpected joining of the patrol fleet and the mysterious loss of contact with the Fire warship from the Highland Viscountcy caused the previous plan to fail.
Perhaps the other party would completely abandon this action because of these changes, but Wang Dong could not pin his hopes on this.
The Pond had already taken action.
It was not following behind the fleet, but cruising at a considerable distance on the side.
With the increased detection range of the purple quality sky survey radar, it was warning the escort fleet.
Not long ago, the sky survey radar of the Pond had already discovered the enemy.
The other party did not cover up too much, or. The airspace near the kh-04 wormhole was not suitable for concealment.
It can be seen that the other party's whereabouts were also quite hurried.
The escort fleet's rapid progress did not leave much time for the other party to respond, which obviously greatly disrupted the other party's plan.
So that the original ambush plus the double pincer attack, in this case, became a race against time.
The person in charge of this attack is Huang Bing, the old butler of the current Viscount Huang Mu of the Highlands.
Huang Bing, with gray hair, is on a Fire warship at this time.
This is the White Fang, the flagship of the leader of the "White Fang" star pirates.
"Leader White Fang, we attach great importance to this commission, please pay attention to it."
Huang Bing, who is neatly dressed and even has gray hair, is obviously not the same as the pirates who are dressed casually and laugh freely on this star pirate warship.
The leader of the star pirates, whose real name is unknown, did not care about Huang Bing's strict preparations.
"Mr. Butler, this is not the first time we have cooperated. You are all aware of my White Fang's credit.
Since I have agreed, I will definitely try my best.
However, the current situation is very obvious. The strength of the target has been greatly strengthened.
The escort fleet has a fire warship and 20 assault ships.
I only have one warship and 12 assault ships. It is not clear
whether we can win or not. Even if we can win, we may not be able to kill them. Even if we can kill them, we don't know how much we will lose.
It's not that I, Bai Ya, am not dishonest and unwilling to do my best. It was our opponent who was different from what was agreed upon, and it was not us who violated the agreement!
In a word, I will not refund the deposit. If it were not for our previous friendship, I would not have brought my brothers to this airspace to listen to your request.
If you want to continue the action, I will not go without reinforcements!"
White Fang said lazily, stroking the armrest of the chair.
Huang Bing was not surprised by White Fang's evasion.
The Star Pirates are such a group of people. They will not release the eagle if they don't see the rabbit. They will fight bravely to be the first to bully the weak, and they will turn around like the wind when they hit a metal plate.
"Leader White Fang, just because this is not the first time to cooperate, you should also understand our sincerity. We understand your concerns, Leader White Fang, and have contacted another Star Pirates Group to fight with you. The plan remains unchanged, it is still a two-sided attack, but the ambush has been changed to a head-on battle. "
When White Fang heard this, he immediately narrowed his remaining single eye and said in a grim voice: "Mr. Butler, the Star Pirates are not like the fleets in your territory, which can cooperate at will. You said to attack from both sides, okay, who will go first? Can you guarantee that if the situation is unfavorable, they will not retreat first and leave us to take the blame?"
"Don't worry, Chief White Fang, the ones cooperating with you this time are the Cybone Pirates."
Huang Bing said slowly.
"It's Cyborg? It seems that you are bleeding heavily this time."
Hearing the name of the "Cybone" Pirates, White Fang was obviously a little surprised.
The strength of the "Cybone" star pirate group is no worse than that of the "White Fang" star pirate group.
And its reputation is more than doubled.
Among the star pirate groups that value profit over loyalty and treat betrayal as drinking water, the "Cybone" star pirate group is an outlier. Its leader "Cyborg" is rumored to have been a regular soldier of the Plantagenet Federation. Because he was persecuted by a family in the Federation, he fought hard and took his subordinates to become bandits. After several twists and turns, he fled from the Plantagenet Federation to the Bauhinia Kingdom and then to the vicinity of the Black Stone Baron.
Even if he became a bandit, "Cyborg" still retained a lot of military style.
His subordinates are highly united and have strong combat effectiveness, and "Cyborg" himself has always kept his promises and easily kept his promises, making a big statement.
Although the star pirate groups regard him as an outlier, no star pirate group will refuse to cooperate with "Cyborg".
As long as you don't make a move first, "Cyborg" will not stab you first.
This has become a consensus.
Of course, this habit of Cyborg is not suitable for the profession of a star pirate.
At its peak, the Cybone Pirates had dozens of assault ships, but now only eight are left.
This is a good example.
The hiring price of the "Cybone" Pirates is not cheap, which is why White Fang said this.
Thinking of the hiring conditions of the Cybone Pirates, even Huang Bing couldn't help but feel a sour taste in his mouth.
After receiving the news that the patrol fleet joined the escort fleet, the Highland Viscountcy could not contact the Fire warship that was previously sent to infiltrate at the scheduled time.
Unwilling to give up like this, he could only temporarily mobilize combat power.
After paying a considerable price, another nearby pirate group finally agreed to join the attack.
That is the Cybone Pirates.
It was an expedited attack, and the price itself was not low.
The Highland Viscountcy really paid a heavy price this time, and the price he paid was enough for the Steel Bone Pirates to double their size afterwards.
"In this way, the leader of the White Fang should be relieved. Cyborg has now arrived nearby, and we must launch an attack before the escort fleet passes through the kh-04 wormhole. The sooner the better. Otherwise, once the target escapes into the wormhole, the Blackstone Baron has set up a space fortress at the other end of the wormhole for protection, and we will not have a chance to pursue. "
Huang Bing suppressed the urge to cover his cheek and said in a deep voice.
"I understand. Since it is to cooperate with Cybone, I will do my best. "
White Fang pondered for a long time, and finally patted the armrest and responded generously.
Huang Bing secretly wiped the cold sweat.
Finally, he fooled the cunning guy White Fang.
