The dark green spaceship of the Mantis Pirates reflected red light under the bombardment of artillery fire, while the dark gray pirate ship opposite it was still safe and sound under the protection of the light shield.
Both sides deployed their mechas. Modified mechas of different colors and models flew out of the spacecraft and collided with each other in an instant.
The nearby star network signal was interfered with, and Shian was unable to contact the Guards. He glanced at the two warring parties and chose to evacuate the escape pod to a safer area first.
Shian didn't see any obvious scars on Musi's body, but he knew that it was not an easy task to get out of a pirate spaceship that was bombarded by artillery fire with a larva.
These should be done by myself...
When Shi An thought about how before he came, Musi could only float in the void with the escape pod and might be hit by artillery fire at any time, he felt angry at his own uselessness.
Shi An felt very guilty, but the movements of the mecha were extremely gentle and steady, with the speed adjusted to the lowest, for fear of shaking the insect in his palm.
A red light exploded.
An unknown pirate turned the muzzle of his gun towards the direction of the Shian mecha, and a laser cannon shot straight at it.
Shi An's pupils shrank, and the fingers controlling the mecha moved quickly, controlling the mecha to retreat in another direction. At the same time, he mobilized energy to concentrate in front of him and activated the surface defense shield.
If he was a bug, driving a military light mecha, he would certainly not be unable to avoid such a laser cannon, but he was holding his master in his hand.
"Master, you go first." The star network signal here cannot connect to the outside world, and Shian can only communicate with Muxi through the short-range communication of the terminal.
Shian didn't dare to increase the speed of the mecha, and kept directing the mecha's energy into the protective shield, hoping to buy time for Musi to build a wormhole and leave.
Musi, standing on the escape pod, had a calm expression. He raised his hand and made a light gesture in the direction where the laser cannon was coming from.
The dark purple eyes suddenly darkened, and the space seemed to freeze for a moment.
Shian only saw the laser cannon that was about to touch the defensive light screen suddenly disappear, as if it was swallowed by something.
Then, on the other side, a laser cannon very similar to the one just fired at them, pierced directly into a mecha that had not yet retracted its gun.
The energy center was penetrated, and the mecha exploded silently in the void. The enemy space pirate mecha that was fighting with it was also affected, and was pushed back hundreds of meters by the heat wave and mecha fragments of the explosion.
The explosion of a mecha attracted the attention of nearby pirates. They all suspected that the other party had some bugs plotting in the dark, and they all became more vigilant.
Shi An was startled, and he looked down at what he held in his hands while controlling the mecha, just in time to see Mu Xi's hands dropping due to exhaustion.
The jade-white, slender insect claws drooped stiffly, the fingertips trembling slightly, and Shi An's heart trembled as well.
Male worms can build wormholes to protect themselves...
Mu Xi vaguely sensed through the mental thread that the female insect was in a bad mood, and thought that Shi An was frightened by the artillery fire, so he looked up at the mecha with a soothing smile, patted the mecha's chest, and said:
"Don't be afraid." Nothing will happen as long as I'm here.
The male insect's voice rang in Shian's mind. It felt like his cerebral cortex was being licked directly by mental power, but Shian couldn't think of anything else.
He gritted his teeth, tried his best to calm himself, took a deep look at the fighting pirate mechas, and continued to carry the escape pod away.
Musi could sense Shian's suppressed emotions, but he was not good at comforting him. He just said a few words of comfort and focused more on regulating his mental strength.
He could have actually interfered with the direction of the laser earlier, but he was distracted by thinking about custom-making a mecha for the female insect, and in the end he only had time to forcibly divert the laser in front of him.
If he had intervened earlier, Shian might not have been so frightened
Suddenly, Mu Xi felt that the spiritual thread in the distance was touched.
It's the mecha of the Royal Guard.
Musi removed the mental shield covering the body of Shian's mecha. In just a few seconds, several mechas of the Royal Guard flew over with rescue spacecraft, and the rest of the mechas rushed to the battlefield.
The guards were scattered around the Shian mecha, and Musi quietly jumped from the escape pod and landed on the rescue spacecraft.
Silver metal claws extended from the outer wall of the rescue spacecraft. Shi An carefully handed out the escape pod and watched as the metal claws salvaged the pod into the spacecraft.
Musi stood at the cabin door and looked up at Shian's mecha, preparing to let Shian enter the rescue spacecraft to rest.
Shian controlled the mecha and saluted Musi who was standing at the door of the rescue cabin, and said respectfully: "Governor, I request to go into battle."
First, because of his own butterfly effect, Musi entered the pirate ship alone. Then the signal was affected and Musi lost contact. Shi An was already on the verge of going crazy.
Later, the laser cannon that fired directly detonated his emotions. He suppressed himself and did not rush forward, but it was because he was still holding Musi in his hand.
No female insect can remain indifferent after her male insect is attacked, and she wants to destroy those star-thieving insects.
Go to war
Through the spiritual thread, Mu Xi could "see" Shi An's determined expression and strong fighting spirit.
His impression of Shian was still at the stage of being "frightened by the war", and he was unable to understand this change for a moment, but seeing the female insect's firm look, he nodded and let her go.
After getting approval, Shian immediately joined the battlefield.
The guards who originally rushed to the battlefield just wanted to hold back the pirates and buy time for the rescue team.
After all, the spaceship carrying their main force had not arrived yet, and they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of insects, so it was not suitable for a head-on confrontation.
After wandering around and holding the enemy back for a while, the guards saw a dark military mecha rushing into the battlefield.
The newly joined guard had a cannon and a star pirate mech, and their fighting style was quite aggressive. A single insect could produce the momentum of an elite team, and even the rest of the guards became a little excited.
The pirates were instantly at a disadvantage in momentum and unconsciously moved closer to their own legion's spaceship.
The mechas of those female soldiers were all speed-type. When they attacked, the opponents dodged faster than each other and could find the right opportunity to blow up several of their mechas.
As their companions dwindled, the pirates began to consider retreating.
The remaining insects of the Mantis Pirates fled for their own lives, while the other group of pirates whose spaceships were still intact all rushed into the spaceship's shield.
Shian naturally couldn't let the pirates get away like this, so he asked some of his personal guards to chase the Mantis Pirates. He quickly circled around the light shield of the dark gray spaceship, suddenly raised his gun, aimed at a place, and shot.
The spacecraft's protective shield shattered instantly.
Musi sat in the rescue spacecraft, watching through the view window as the Shian tapeworms quickly swam around the spacecraft and shot at some key nodes of the spacecraft.
In just half a minute, a well-equipped pirate ship was mostly paralyzed.
How can this look like someone was just frightened
The guards are now full of fighting spirit. If a space pirate comes out, they will fight him one by one. If no pirate comes out, they will dismantle the spaceship and get in themselves.
Look, it was this group of pirates that blew up the spaceship that their major general was on. If the major general's rank was not so high, he would have been in trouble if he was exposed to the vacuum environment of the universe.
This is the bug that bullied their major general, they have to beat it back on behalf of the major general!
The battle had come to an end when Wills arrived with his warships. Almost all the surviving pirates had been captured, and the guards were cleaning up the battlefield.
"Reporting to the commander, our rescue team has completed the rescue and successfully occupied the pirate ship, capturing 133 pirates alive."
Will's personal guard: "???"
The seriously injured guards were taken away by the medical team, and the rest of the guards who participated in the battle returned to their cabins to take a shower.
Musi returned to the cabin and changed out of his combat uniform.
There was a sound of water in the bathroom; the female insect was taking a bath.
Mu Xi used his authority to give Shi An half a day off. At the same time, he asked Xiaoi to pay attention to Shi An's physical condition, and he went to the command room.
Will took the sorted information to report to Mu Xi:
"There are 133 pirates, and three of them have bounties worth tens of millions of star coins. They are all unruly pirates. I suggest you contact the military and ask them to send troops from nearby planets to take the pirates away."
Mu Xi looked at the information and said, "I'll go meet them."
As a logistician, Jerry Nelson had already followed a group of medical bugs into the holding room to give the pirates a simple check-up.
Inside the detention room, the two groups of pirates disliked each other. If they were not wearing collars that suppressed the insect pattern energy and weakened their physical strength, they would probably have started a fight.
However, when the pirates saw the bugs coming in, they finally looked over there.
At this glance, the red-haired leader of the pirates paused for a moment when he saw Jerry Nelson.
His eyes scanned back and forth between Jerry Nelson's military uniform and the clothes of the female military guards. What was there to not understand? The red-haired pirate leader became furious.
"It's you! The leader of the Royal Star Pirates actually colluded with those old-fashioned female insects in the military?"
Stared at by hundreds of pairs of eyes, Jerry Nelson still calmly followed a middle-aged female insect doctor and handed her tools.
The red-haired pirate leader cast a suspicious look on Jerry Nelson's face, "What benefits did those old stubborn people promise you? You revealed the whereabouts of other pirate groups. Now that you are no longer useful, aren't you afraid that the military will deal with you?"
Jerry Nelson just smiled and replied in between delivering the instruments: "Don't worry, our Major General Chongmei is kind-hearted. He not only pays the salary, but also helps take care of the larvae. It is my honor to be able to serve the Major General."
A pirate sneered, but before he could say anything, the door of the detention room was opened again.
The pirates looked over, their eyes widened, and they all held their breath.
A male insect with black hair and purple eyes appeared in their sight. His skin was so white that it was almost transparent, and his facial features were so perfect that the insects could not find any flaws. He was dressed in a military uniform, looking cold and noble.
The male insect officer raised his eyes slightly, and his dark purple eyes swept over them. His gaze was calm and indifferent, but it made all the insects feel an electric current running through their backs.
Mu Xi walked in. The huge detention room was so quiet that only the sound of gasps could be heard.
The middle-aged military doctor and the medical bugs saluted Mu Xi, "Your Excellency the Governor."
"Yeah." Musi nodded slightly, signaling them to continue working.
Mu Xi looked at the pirates again. It was said that the unruly pirates all had their eyes wide open, their faces flushed, and they looked dazed.
"Do you think we should contact the military immediately?" Musi turned his head and asked Will behind him.
The red-haired pirate leader pulled Jerry Nelson away, who was blocking his view, and craned his neck to take a look. He then turned back and asked in a low voice, "Is this your governor?"
"Yeah." Jerry Nelson responded, raised his eyelids, and didn't see any serious injuries on the other party, so he followed the military doctor again.
"Your Excellency! Your Excellency Governor!" The red-haired star pirate leader suddenly raised his voice.
"On behalf of the ADG Star Pirates, I surrender to you. We are willing to serve you, worship you as our Lord, and be your humble and loyal female slaves!"
As he said that, the red-haired pirate leader knelt on one knee.
Um
When Mu Xi turned around, he saw a group of people kneeling on the ground.
Surrender? In this case, wouldn't his military merits and reward be gone
"I don't need your surrender."
"This..." The red-haired pirate glanced at Jerry Nelson who had retreated to the side, and suddenly said, "I know a lot about the activities of the pirate group during this period."
Musi turned and looked at Jerry Nelson.
Jerry Nelson never expected that someone would be so shameless as to plagiarize his ideas, and he immediately glared at the red-haired pirate leader on the ground.
"Okay, write down everything you know."
After making preliminary arrangements for the pirates, when Musi returned to the cabin, Shian was already half-lying in the rest cabin in his pajamas.
Feeling that Mu Xi was looking at him, Shi An pretended to pull the collar of his pajamas aside unintentionally, then blinked his bright heterochromatic eyes and looked at Mu Xi, reminding him: "My Lord, it's been a week."
It's time to irrigate and unlock.
