A philosopher once said that the sky is always calm before the storm.
After all the spaceships of the interstellar pirates were destroyed by the military department, the people in the military department enjoyed two days and two nights of tranquility. But these two days were the two days that many members of the military department were most worried about. All the people did not even dare to drink a drop of wine, for fear of another surprise attack like last time.
All the news of the interstellar pirates seemed to be annihilated along with the wreckage of those spaceships, without any feedback.
Even Sharp and Emily could clearly feel the strange sense of oppression and tension. They knew that these interstellar pirates would definitely attack, but they didn't know how they would do it, so the people in the military department often Always tense.
And those interstellar pirates returned to Bator City quietly. With the help of the Sea Emperor, no one's information was revealed. They lurk patiently, waiting for news from Guding.
Not far from Colossus, the first mercenary spaceship finally arrived.
The three interceptor ships also quickly discovered the existence of this spaceship, and they had already obtained from the military department about the mercenaries entrusted by Guding, so they were extra vigilant. But they can't just shoot at spaceships other than interstellar pirates, and the opponent's spaceship is not impossible to pass by.
"The military department is on a mission, please leave as soon as possible, otherwise we will expel it by force." The three interceptor ships shouted at the Silver Eagle at the same time.
"Hey, we're just passing by. Don't fire, let's go around!" A rough man's voice came from the Silver Eagle, which seemed to be their captain.
"Boss, your acting skills have improved again." The pilot said to the bearded captain with a leisurely expression.
"Hey, we were the first to kill one after another!" The bearded man was full of excitement.
"That ship was passing by..." Seeing that the Silver Eagle had turned around, the three interceptor ships were relieved. Suddenly, one interceptor ship was bombarded.
Only then did they notice that the Silver Eagle had two turrets installed on the butt of the spaceship. After the spaceship turned its head, the two turrets were aimed at the direction of the interceptor ship.
"Damn it, these mercenaries are all lunatics! There was no warning before the firing, and they didn't even open the energy shield, and fired directly, obviously deliberately to let us relax our vigilance."
The other two interceptor ships immediately aimed at the Silver Eagle to fight back, but the shield of the Silver Eagle had already been propped up, and they quickly made dodge operations.
The flexibility of the assault ship is unmatched by the interceptor ship, which is why several interceptor ships act together every time they appear.
"The young dragon's skin is really thick." The young pilot also noticed that although the previous shot hit one of the young dragons, the attack was blocked by the opponent's energy shield and did not cause any damage to the spaceship. effective damage. However, they came here with a plan this time. Their guns have been modified to a certain extent. Several guns have the effect of electromagnetic interference, which can make the hit spacecraft semi-paralyzed in a short time , and even communications will be disrupted.
Under the gunfire of the two interceptor ships, the Silver Eagle kept dodging, looking for opportunities to counterattack, but several attacks were intercepted by the interceptor ships of the military department with more violent artillery fire.
"Boss, it's a bit tricky this time. The pilots of those interceptor ships are not as good as me. And the one that was hit just now will be able to resume operations immediately." After some fighting, the pilot said bitterly. face said.
"Retreat! Wait for the next spaceship to appear, and we will come again!" The bearded man gave the order to retreat decisively.
At this moment, the radar's detection range showed that a spaceship was approaching rapidly not far away, it was a Gray Eagle.
"Boss, someone is coming, they seem to be mercenaries, and they are driving a Gray Eagle."
"Fly towards him and pull him into the battle ring." The bearded man waved his hand, "It's not that easy to steal food under our noses."
Ravel in the Gray Eagle was a little excited. They came at full speed, and the road was smoother than ever. He vaguely felt that this mission should be interesting.
As soon as they approached the giant star, they discovered that two parties were exchanging fire.
The one surrounded by the two Young Dragons was a Silver Eagle. Seeing the logo on the Silver Eagle, Ravel knew who the spaceship belonged to. "It's a bearded man, let's go around first."
"Boss, they are coming towards us." The driver was a little nervous.
"Fuck, the bearded man is so dark-hearted, it's clear that he wants to take us as a scapegoat." Ravel cursed a little depressed. "Then don't retreat at all, concentrate all firepower to attack... Hey, why is that ship not moving? Let's concentrate our firepower to kill that stationary ship!"
"Okay..." The pilot timidly said after receiving the instructions, moved the spaceship a little, and poured out all the firepower, blasting towards the immobile Young Dragon.
The Young Dragon, which was still under electromagnetic interference and had not resumed normal operation, was suddenly attacked violently again. The energy shield was reduced from 70% to 0% in a few seconds, and then it was completely destroyed. The Greyhawk's guns were overwhelmed and blasted to pieces.
"His grandma's, let this kid take advantage of it!" The bearded man was so angry that he didn't expect that he wanted to draw the other party into the battle circle, but he didn't expect the other party to react directly. Instead of running away, he attacked the ship instead. The half-paralyzed Young Dragon.
"Boss, do you want to kill this Gray Eagle?" the pilot couldn't help asking.
"It's important to make money, don't worry about him!" The bearded man immediately made a decision.
After the Gray Eagle killed a young dragon, it immediately caused an attack from an interceptor ship, and the pressure on the bearded Silver Eagle was relieved a lot.
"Let him attract a little firepower, very good, let's fight back!" The bearded man issued a new order.
"Boss, we succeeded!" On the Gray Eagle, no one expected to kill an interceptor of the Young Dragon so easily.
"Get out of the battle circle, let's get out of here." Ravel suddenly issued a strange order.
"But Boss, we still have a chance, and there are two young dragons." Others disagreed.
"Snatching food from the bearded man's mouth, do you think there will be a good result? If we continue to stay, even if we don't get killed by the two young dragons, we will be killed by the bearded man." Ravel is very aware of the current situation, "Hurry up, get out of the battle circle, the farther you can escape, the better!"
The pilot turned the spaceship around quickly with a face full of reluctance, and then fled towards the distance. It didn't take long for him to disappear on the Silver Eagle's radar.
"That Gray Eagle escaped?!" The bearded man didn't expect that the other party would do such a thing, and his Silver Eagle was attacked by two Young Dragons again. He decisively gave the order to retreat, "Retreat first! Let’s wait for other spaceships to come closer.”
The Silver Eagle also turned its head and accelerated away.
The pilots on the two young dragons knew that the matter was not over, this was just the beginning.
Sure enough, within half an hour, two Gray Eagles appeared almost at the same time, and launched a fierce attack on the two interceptor ships.
The bearded Silver Eagle also detected the occurrence of this scene, quickly joined the battle circle, and hit a Young Dragon from the side, the effect of electromagnetic interference was brought into play again, and the energy shield outside the Young Dragon instantly Returning to zero, a bright fire bloomed in the starry sky.
Then the three assault ships aimed their artillery fire at the same Young Dragon, and the crazy artillery fire poured out, drowning the Young Dragon in an instant.
At this time, on the Colossus, the sky was just getting bright.
A message suddenly came from Guding's watch.
"Guding, the mercenary alliance shows that the three interceptor ships have been killed. They sent the video, which has been officially verified by them, and there is no problem. I checked it just now, and it was not touched. Traces of hands and feet." Neptune said, projecting the video.
There are a total of three sections in the video, and Gu Ding nodded after spending a few minutes watching it, "Inform the others that the three Drakes have been destroyed, and send them the video as well. Tell them to meet at the tavern not far from the port. "
Neptune will send out the video and news soon.
Seeing the video of the destruction of the three young dragons, the hearts of many interstellar pirates became a little excited, which meant that as long as they succeeded in capturing the spaceship, they would be free.
The news of the destruction of the Young Dragon was quickly sent back to the military headquarters.
Howell, who watched the video, couldn't see any waves on his face. Ever since Gu Ding issued the entrusted mission, he knew that the destruction of the three Young Dragons had become inevitable, and it was only a matter of time. Sometimes the madness of mercenaries is even worse than that of interstellar pirates. He immediately had people find out who the four assault ships belonged to, and issued a new reward amount to the four mercenary regiments.
Howell didn't have much mood to deal with this matter at this time, he was worrying about another matter. On the night that Guding posted the entrustment, he received an application support report from Sharp.
In the report, everything that happened on Colossus was described in detail and clearly, including the deaths of nearly 4,000 military members. And he took all the responsibility on himself, saying that this result was caused by his insistence on challenging Bigger regardless of the overall situation. Moreover, Sharp also made it clear that because of this incident, he would resign as a general of the military.
Howell still had some doubts about some words in Sharp's report, and he vaguely felt that Sharp took the responsibility this time just to resign. And the last thing Howell wants to see is Sharp's resignation, because he has always trained Sharpe as the next military marshal. Sharp is also the most powerful and responsible person among the four generals. He is also the oldest with seniority, and he is the best candidate to be the next marshal.
As a marshal, he sees farther than anyone else in the military department. The victory or defeat of the war is important, but how to maintain the long-term prosperity of the entire military is the issue that he needs to put in the first place. On this primacy issue, many other things can give way.
He knew that he only needed to put in some effort to help Sharp withstand the bad effects of this incident. But the key issue now is that according to Sharp's remarks in the report, his resignation is already a certainty, which is the most troublesome thing for Howell.
Rubbing his head, he said to the arraignment officer, "Send these few videos to Sharp. You don't need to say anything, he knows what to do."
