Him and their stars

When the alarm started to sound, Yu Lian immediately thought that he should have encountered the rear-cutting troops left behind by the predators. However, before the Throne's radar could give out the exact number of enemy fleets, he suddenly realized that his mood was actually frighteningly stable, as if he had just encountered a cat taking a nap in the grass on the roadside in the park. Cat people.

As a psyker who has experienced many battles, he should have some emergency responses, but he didn't even have the most basic emotional fluctuations.

This either means that the pirate group opposite has a supreme psychic master who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. Not only can he survive on his own, but he can also use some kind of spiritual array to support the entire fleet to survive together.

But this is illogical! If the other party really has such sharp means, shouldn't they be able to hide them? How could it be discovered by the Throne's passive enemy detection radar?

Another possibility is that the enemy fleets on the opposite side that they never expected to encounter really pose no threat to themselves.

...Well, a mature warrior can never raise his tail and must calm down. Yu Lian said to himself, and immediately ordered the throne to switch the speed to normal cruising state and immediately turn on the full-power shield. Immediately afterwards, he confirmed the current status of the battleship's main gun, and was slightly relieved when he learned that the power supply for the positron main gun and ion main gun had been restored.

His ordering voice was calm and methodical, so the crew members who had been a little nervous before instantly calmed down.

At this time, detailed information about the opposite ship was finally sent to one's own terminal screen.

There are more than thirty large and small ships in total, all of which are naturally modified from various armed merchant ships. Three of the ships are quite large. Yu Lian estimates that they should be modified from large interstellar freighters of more than three million tons, but the original models cannot be seen for the time being.

These three giant ships alone, at least in terms of appearance and quality, can already compete with the Scarlet Throne, including the Yahadik, which is still very famous in the Black (Meow) Road, that is, It is the flagship of one of the famous pirate kings, "Greenbeard" Odgoth.

In addition, Yu Lian was a little surprised that there were actually two Star Guardian Type 2 light cruisers in the pirate fleet. This was an old cruiser from the alliance and had been completely retired by the alliance.

However, even old-fashioned cruisers that have been retired for nearly ten years are still warships.

The great pirate king "Greenbeard" Odgoth is active not only in the New World, but also in the Milky Way itself. He has a reputation of being able to stop children crying at night. Many people are wondering how this guy's pirate fleet passed through the star gate. Now look at it, it's true that he still says "I understand everything"!

"Colonel Soback said the day before yesterday that the Imperial Colonial Fleet in which he served suffered a loss in the hands of this guy. Right?" Yu Lian asked.

Feifei nodded and added: "Actually, there is more than one example of Greenbeard's fleet attacking the army. He also spared the alliance's fleet, and even attacked the New Min'er 1 colonial star of the Minlan Republic."

When Yu Lian was active in his previous life, the Pirate King Odgoth had already fallen into disgrace. He didn’t know that this person had such a prestigious reputation, so he immediately respected him: “I didn’t know that there were such powerful people in the world. Pirate King, I’m disrespectful! The other party appears here, and I don’t know what connection it has with the plunderers.”

"Maybe it's just a coincidence?" Feifei smiled.

"Then we can only take the initiative to ask. I hope he is willing to cooperate." Yu Lian said with a smile.

Ever since, the Scarlet Throne wrapped its shield and started to move forward. The current situation is like that of an armored warrior with his shield raised to his chest and armed to the teeth, riding a tall horse and cautiously advancing towards a group of old farmers holding manure forks and rakes.

Yes, no matter how powerful a pirate is, he is just a pirate, and the armament gap between him and a dreadnought that is armed to the teeth is at this level.

Of course, the opponent had attacked the naval fleet several times with determination, and even dared to attack various fleets on the colonial star. Who knows if he had any special abilities.

Moreover, even in the cold weapon age, there was no shortage of examples of peasant soldiers killing armored knights.

At the same moment, Yu Lian thought of all the great deeds he had done in his previous life. It was truly an eventful period of chivalry and drunkenness! He once again confirmed that he really needed to be careful now and made no big mistake, so he decided to let the ship continue to maintain a normal cruising speed and launch a shocking shot as soon as the opponent entered the range of the main gun.

In a sense, pirates' tactics are similar to those of predators. In other words, predators define the industry norms of space robbery in this civilized era.

Yu Lian estimated that since they were pirates and had three large ships, the opponent should have a large number of full-time stormtroopers.

As for my ship, the Scarlet Throne, it looked like a perfectly intact and murderous Dreadnought, but the biggest problem was that there were too few people on board.

You must not let the other party get close to the gang!

Yu Lian decided to use his favorite kite long-range artillery battle to solve the problem.

Of course, kiting a group of pirate ships with a Dreadnought is like a knight armed to the teeth using a mounted archer to kite a group of peasant soldiers. Just listening to it sounds particularly lacking in martial ethics, but someone said that he has never been a knight anyway. After all, I was used to being a sea...ranger in my previous life, so naturally I don't have any psychological pressure anymore.

Vega and his friends were all concentrating and holding their breath, somewhat nervous.

Although they have already fought against space crystals, because those "UFOs" are still unrecorded, they still lack a sense of reality, and they are not sure whether what they just did was considered an actual battle. And now, the pirate group of the famous green-bearded Odegoth is right in front of us. This should be regarded as the first actual combat since boarding the ship, right?

Even the most outstanding military academy graduates will be more or less nervous during their first actual combat. It's not necessarily because of fear, but also a sense of excitement about embarking on a journey.

Yu Lian was also very attentive, carefully observing the opponent's formation... The more than thirty pirate ships did not seem to form any decent formation, and even appeared a little chaotic, but no one could guarantee that it was not a trap.

Let’s fire a few shots first to see what’s going on!

"Yagnes, can you identify the Yahadik? The orbital main gun is the first to take aim. Once it enters the range, it will fire immediately without waiting for my order!"

This little Gumeiya girl licked her lips with excitement. In the battle with the unidentified crystal flying object just now, it was not her turn to control the main gun, but she was really a little dissatisfied with her desires. She put her eyes on the scope and activated Eagle Eyes. Soon, she found the most gorgeously painted pirate ship, with a green-bearded skeleton painted on the side of the ship.

"No problem. I'll make it lie down with the first shot!" Agnes was about to say this, but was stunned by the scene captured by her eagle eyes, and then said loudly: "Ahadik No., are you, are you retreating?"

Yes, the famous pirate king "Greenbeard" Odegoth and his famous subordinates dispersed in all directions like a group of frightened lambs. .

Is this a high-level trap? Fake defeat?

Yu Lian was shocked.

"Yu'er, no matter how powerful a pirate is, he's just a pirate." Feifei lowered her voice.

Yu Lian reacted immediately. Indeed, no matter how ferocious the pirates are, they are just pirates, a ragtag group of people gathered for profit. No matter how tough they are, they cannot really turn into an iron army that enforces orders and prohibitions. A high-level deception tactic like faking defeat will turn the situation from faking defeat to real defeat at the slightest moment, and no leader in his right mind would dare to use it.

Even if they had some unknown conspiracy, their retreat at this time must be real.

"The sublight engine is running at full power, and the entire ship is at charge speed!"

Yu Lian shouted the order, and Feifei quickly conveyed it.

"Yagnes, the main gun at the bow of the ship is handed over to you. Fire as you please."

"No need to aim at the Yahadik?"

"No need. Apart from her, only a few of the other enemy ships can be sunk." Yu Lian said with a smile.

Now that the other party was ready to escape, Yu Lian became curious. He must catch the other party and ask him face to face why he was running away.

As a result, the main cannon bought from the Toss Merchant Group finally started firing for the first time. This may also be the first roar of the fearless giant ship from the Milky Way Galaxy in the New World.

Unfortunately, there was no one hit.

The orbital cannon shell penetrated the tail of a giant ship of the same level as the Yahadik and floated into the endless void.

...This is actually understandable. Using railgun shelling at this distance, even the top marksman's hit rate will not exceed 20%.

Agnes was very dissatisfied and snorted coldly. After a three-second pause, she started the second bombardment.

This time, the shell still did not hit any giant ship, but it hit a Guardian-class cruiser very delicately. The old-fashioned cruiser, which is an important weapon in the world of pirates, was as fragile as a building block in front of the dreadnought's orbital main gun. A large section of the hull was torn off on the spot, and the entire ship lost power and remained silent. In place.

The pirates became even more panicked, and even two small pirate ships crashed into each other in a panic, which was really ugly.

There was even a pirate ship that was estimated to be at least a million tons in size. It seemed that it felt that it could not escape, so it simply shut down its engine and used its signal light to create a white curtain of light.

However, until this time, Yu Lian still felt that this group of pirates might still have some conspiracy, so he did not immediately accept the surrender of the pirate ship. He just casually blasted an electromagnetic radiation bomb at the other party's ship when passing by. After confirming that its engine and main gun would not start for a while, he dropped it where it was and continued the pursuit.
