Star Wars: The Silver Pledge
Chapter 19 There is a price to be paid for being brave
Xiao En hid in the forest, restrained his voice, perfectly integrated with the environment, and waited for the opportunity to make a move.
It has been a while since we parted from Master, and the exchange of fire at the manor gradually came to an end. The pirates completed a comprehensive suppression and successfully invaded the manor. Through the dense branches and leaves in the forest, Sean could clearly see the silhouettes of some pirates returning with a full load after plundering.
But it's clear that the pirates didn't do it all.
On the one hand, judging from the trophies, most of them came from the periphery of the manor, including all kinds of precious artworks and large sums of credit coins. However, they obviously failed to enter the several rooms located in the core of the manor, such as the central control room, equipment room, security arsenal, underground power station... Sean did not see the instruments and equipment seized by the pirates in these rooms at all. On the other hand, many of the pirates who landed were seriously injured and embarrassed when they withdrew from the manor. They wanted to call their companions to turn back and fight again, but no one responded, so they had to run away cursing and following the large army.
Whether it was the manor's security forces who retreated in time and guarded against danger, or Master played the mainstay role in it, in short, it seems that there is nothing to worry about on the manor side.
Next is my side.
Just in time, not far away, a group of pirates breached the ecological cabin in the woods, roughly dismantled all kinds of advanced instruments in it, and returned with a roar.
And a roughly modified smuggling ship staggered and landed on the cold rock outside the woods, waiting for the pirates to return.
Sean thought about it and quietly followed.
It was an out-and-out mob, their clothes and weapons were in disarray, and there was no strict command of a large number of people. They relied entirely on the overwhelming superiority in firepower and manpower to break through the weak defense of the ecological cabin.
However, this group seemed to have won a big victory. Sometimes they armed guns and fired recklessly in the direction of the manor, and sometimes simply threw incendiary bombs into the woodland, turning the carefully transplanted trees into a sea of flames.
Sean quickly approached them, but he was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he hid in the dark and carefully observed their behavior and habits.
Even if it is a mob, it takes a lot of preparations to blend in perfectly. These pirates are obviously a temporary group of more than a dozen small teams, chaotic and disorderly, but everyone has three or two familiar teammates around them, and the team and the team The relationship between them is also subtle. In Xiao En's eyes, it was a mess.
What was even more troublesome was that when these people yelled, they spoke with extremely strong accents, and Sean struggled to hear them, let alone imitate them.
Fortunately, after observing for a while, Sean had an idea.
His eyes were fixed on the front not far away, and there were three pirates in tattered armor hanging at the end of the team.
Among the dozens of people, these three were the most isolated, so Sean chose them as the starting point. The Jedi apprentice rides through the burning forest like a ghost in the night, his figure always walks just right at the intersection of fire and shadow, no matter whether you look at it with naked eyes or thermal imaging, you can't see his existence.
Even though he was facing a crowd of mobs, Sean was still cautious as always, until he got closer to less than half a meter behind the three of them, and then shot like a thunderbolt. The flowing force locked the heads of the two people like iron clamps, and they moved towards the middle suddenly. At the same time, Sean's figure rose into the air, and his toes swept past the third person's throat.
The three fell to the ground almost at the same time.
After Sean eliminated the three, he immediately tore off the armor and tattered burqa of one of the pirates who were similar in stature to him, and put them on his body. He kicked the other two into the depths of the woods to hide.
In just a dozen seconds, Sean completed the simple camouflage, picked up the fairly useful equipment on them - blaster guns, thermal grenades, and a barrel of fuel, and followed to the end of the large group.
If you can't blend perfectly into a single team, just go solo. But the mob in front didn't notice the lack of people at the end of the line at all. Only a few saw Xiao En hanging far behind, and beckoned him to hurry up and not waste time.
After hearing a few words, Sean realized that his decision was correct, and the next escape route was clear. The three-person team he chose had very little interaction with other teams. After boarding the ship, as long as they behaved cautiously and pretended to be tired and sleepy, they would not reveal too many flaws. Once in the pirate's base, the sea and the sky will be even brighter.
However, just as the team walked out of the woods and was about to board the ship, they heard a commotion nearby, a group of pirates cheered in surprise, and then gunshots broke out.
Surprised, Xiao En hurriedly staggered behind the team, and after bypassing a few burning bushes, he saw the battlefield of the exchange of fire.
A small spaceship slanted down next to a clear spring in the forest. Judging from the painting of the spaceship, it was obviously not the same as the pirates. It was the escape ship in the manor.
Sean was a little surprised, because he had just confirmed with his master before that there should be no spaceship in the manor. Where is this ship hidden? A dockyard port with a secret escape outside the estate?
But even more surprising is yet to come.
After the pirates shot down the escape ship, the hatch of the spaceship opened, and several security personnel in black armor raised their hands and staggered out, but they were sieved by the dense energy beam as soon as they went out.
Afterwards, the closest pirates rushed forward and rushed into the spaceship. After a while, a woman's scream sounded.
"Let me go, you maggots!"
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me..."
Crying, screaming, scolding... There were various reactions, but all of them wore servant clothes. They were dragged out of the cabin by the pirates with smiles, and they were arranged in a row in front of the wreckage of the escape ship like exhibits. 10 people. And the first one, wearing a bright red long dress, is Li Qiong, the butler of the manor!
The whole process instantly appeared in Xiao En's mind: when the manor alarm sounded, Li Qiong had already escaped from the secret passage of the manor with a group of servants. They ran all the way to the dock under the forest and found the only one. The escape ship, with the help of the security team, started the spaceship and took off to escape...but was unfortunately shot down.
In fact, this is almost an inevitable result. The entire asteroid where the manor is located is under the firepower of pirate fighters, and the outer satellite positions have long been destroyed by the huge fleet. The ability's escape boat was forced into the air, and it was extremely lucky that it was not hit into a fireball on the spot.
But this is only a matter of time.
Of course, the bloodthirsty pirates would not let these servants go, and let them stand in a row like exhibits just to facilitate observation and evaluate each of them. The valuable ones will be taken away and sold at a high price, while the worthless ones will be turned into blaster targets on the spot.
In fact, some older servants who were considered worthless were targeted by seven or eight blaster guns at the same time, and their lives were dying!
Sean stood at the end with a cold heart.
Although he is only an apprentice, Sean has traveled the galaxy with his master for many years. He has seen a lot of unimaginable darkness in his 17-year-old life, but the scene in front of him seems a bit "natural".
And clearing away these darkness is the "human nature" of Jedi apprentices.
There were nearly a hundred pirates present. Although they were a mob, most of them held blasters and had basic combat experience. Once the melee started, even if these people fired randomly, it would be enough to pose a deadly threat to a single-handed person. What's more, there are fighter planes hovering above everyone's heads, and the gunners on the smuggling ship not far away also aimed their cannons at this place.
So the rational conclusion is to act as if you didn't see it, or even sneak up on the smuggling ship while the pirates are focusing on the spoils, get rid of the driver, and escape in the smuggling ship by yourself.
Master did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to stay in the manor just in exchange for Xiao En's freedom.
But it only took Sean half a second to make his own judgment. He raised his blaster, aimed at the two leaders who could barely be called the commanders in this mob, and fired two precise and quick bursts. Knock them down directly!
When everyone was astonished, Sean threw all the thermal grenades he had seized into the crowded place at the end of the team. After a few bangs, the pirates flew around like weeds blown by the wind, howling all over the place.
And Sean didn't take this opportunity to run away, instead, in the chaos, he aimed his blaster gun at the pirates around the servants, and continued to shoot precisely.
The pirates fell one by one, like slaughtering livestock on an assembly line, and it was not until more than ten pirates fell that someone finally responded effectively.
Several energy beams aimed at Xiao En and shot towards him.
Sean had been on guard for a long time, and fell to the ground and rolled sideways to avoid the firepower. Several pirates who were close roared and wanted to chase, but they were engulfed by a wall of fire that suddenly rose under their feet - Sean sprayed fire in front of him long before he made a move. Full fuel. And when the surviving people were about to go around the firewall to pursue, the counterattack from Sean made them fall on the spot.
So far, Sean has successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Either in fear or in anger, Sean made all the pirates temporarily forget about their trophies.
And because Sean's head start was so successful that most of the pirates simply chose to flee in all directions, only a few of them were anxious and chased after Sean.
But soon they discovered that chasing a man who couldn't even see his true face in a dark woodland was suicidal.
Sean's figure was always in their field of vision, neither far nor near, as if they could catch up with them by running a few steps. But once they got close, there were several precise bursts of shots. The pirates wanted to fight back, but found that the figure in the field of vision disappeared again.
After several rounds, the number of pursuers continued to decrease, and even the brave pirates did not dare to chase any more, so they had to scatter in a roar. But the act of turning and fleeing made them good targets. The shots from the shadows of the jungle kept harvesting, precise and relentless.
Sean kept firing the blaster until it was completely out of order before he stopped shooting. Looking at the routed pirates in the distance and the maids of the manor who hurriedly fled to the secret passage, he let out a sigh of relief, but the seriousness in his heart No less.
Because the smuggling ship that was parked not far away had already flown away.
Just found out that according to the update schedule, there is only one update today. Then say sorry, let me break it out of context here.
By the way, a spoiler: the protagonist is not dead in the next chapter.
By the way, let's promote the book group: 652633303
