"Zhao Yi, come to the mecha battle room immediately, there is a situation!"

On the third day after they left the spaceport, a communication was sent to Yun Yi, who was practicing the exercises, Yun Yi glanced at the communicator, and immediately jumped up, with a hint of excitement on his face, quickly dressed and rushed out.

"Holy, what is this?"

Drilling into the long-wind mecha that belonged to him, Yunyi immediately activated the mecha to connect with the battleship's main control optical brain, and after getting the latest news, he immediately screamed in disappointment.

In the starry sky, about 300 km away from the two spacecraft, a spaceship that will never exceed 300 meters in length is cruising there.

Could this be the situation that Hilton is talking about? For a while, Yun Yi was a little helpless. With such a small spaceship, I'm afraid that even the main guns of the battleship can't withstand it.

"Haha, Xiao Zhao, don't be afraid of the lack of money, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. Here, take a look at this information. In the internal channel, Hilton's laughter echoed,

The ZTT pirate group often haunts the Juzhou Star Domain in the southeast of Chu and Tang, mainly plundering small merchant ships or passenger ships in the past, with a bounty of 80,000 imperial gold dollars.

After reading this information, Yun Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. After doing it for a long time, it turned out that I found a small pirate group and wanted to earn a bounty. Yun Yi smiled and didn't speak, but sat quietly in the cockpit of the mecha waiting for orders.

Although he didn't care about the money himself, the other mercenaries in the team obviously needed it very much. If the bounty of 80,000 is evenly divided, excluding the consumption of ammunition and energy, the ten people in the team can be evenly divided into more than 6,000, which can even be compared to completing a mission.

A small pirate group like this is usually just a small warship that has been refitted, and even a mecha does not have it, and it can sneak attack some lone merchant ships that transport cheap supplies.

It seems that this time the battle does not need his appearance. Yun Yi thought to himself, but his eyes did not take off the screen, just taking advantage of this opportunity to see how that Brown commanded the battle.

Unfortunately, the battle didn't go as planned. Perhaps the pirate's ship was self-aware and didn't think it was an opponent, and after the battleship went into attack, the small ship quickly left the place. Because there were still the client's spaceships to protect, the mercenaries did not go to pursue, which made Hilton and the others not in a good mood.

Of course, Yun Yi didn't care about this, but after comforting Hilton a few words, he returned to his room to continue his cultivation.

The next thing is a little weird.

In the days that followed, one or more pirate regiments would be encountered during each day's voyage, forcing the high-speed ships to slow down and enter combat at regular intervals, but soon the pirate ships would disappear. After several successive descends, the overall speed of the spacecraft has been suppressed to an extremely low state, and if it continues like this, it is absolutely impossible to reach the destination within the scheduled time.

"Things are a little strange, I wonder what you guys think?"

After lunch that day, Hank, as the captain, called everyone in the dining room to discuss the matter.

"This time the problem should be serious." Brown, who was in charge of piloting the battleship, looked a little solemn and said, "According to the general situation, usually only after a large number of pirates have joined forces, some faster ships will be sent to reconnoiter the target before the operation. ”

"What do you mean...... Our client is being targeted by pirates? Hank's face changed color instantly.

There weren't many pirates in the south of Chu Tang, and they were all small miscellaneous fish, if it was just one or two, they wouldn't have anything to worry about at all. But if these pirates are united, it is not something they can deal with.

"Hank, is there any news from the mercenary union?" As the oldest and longest-serving mercenary, Hilton is also very vocal at this time.

Hearing the inquiry, Hank shook his head and said, "There is no information at all, I reported the situation of a large number of pirates yesterday, and it was said that it would be investigated, but until now, no news has been transmitted." ”

Everyone was a little silent, Tian Ning, who was in charge of the ship's weapon system, was a big man with a violent personality, and shouted irritably at this time: "Fuck, why are these flies staring at us, it's just a down-and-out country viscount, is it necessary for them to make such a big move?" ”

As soon as Tian Ning's words were finished, several people were suddenly stunned, and after a few seconds, Hank raised his head, followed by Brown and the others also raised their heads.

"I see." Hank said in a deep voice, "Now that we are disbanded, everyone will go back to their jobs, carefully inspect every part, and be ready to go out at any time." If I'm not mistaken, we're going to have an uphill battle ahead. ”

"That Viscount......" Brown said, but was disrupted by Hank, who said with a gloomy face, "That old fellow, I'll ask him." If he dares to hide something, there will naturally be mercenary unions who will help us out. ”

After disbanding, Hilton and Yun Yi walked towards the mecha battle room. On the way, Hilton was silent all the time, and his face was very ugly. After walking for a while, Yun Yi couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Hilton, is the client hiding something?" ”

Hilton suddenly stopped, looked at Yun Yi's face, shook his head after half a sound, but didn't say anything. It wasn't until he reached the door that he suddenly said, "Check it well, don't wait until you go to the battlefield to find out that there is anything wrong with the mecha." ”

Looking at Hilton's somewhat stumbling back, Yun Yi's intuition suddenly told him that he was afraid that what they would face this time would be an extremely difficult battle.

"Lord Viscount Sharif, I guess you have also seen the pirate ships that have been appearing for the past few days." After Hank connected to the ship that belonged to Sharif, he asked, "I don't know if you know, why did the pirate's ship appear?" ”

Sharif's expression was a little nervous, and he reluctantly smiled: "Maybe it's some guys who don't have long eyes, isn't it that after seeing the strength of your group, they all retreated, don't worry about these guys or anything." ”

"Oh? Is it! Hank suppressed the anger in his heart and said word by word: "Then if I tell you that these are just ships sent by pirates to scout, maybe in a few days, countless pirates will gather to attack us, I wonder what you think, my lord?" ”

"This ...... How is this possible? Sharif panicked, and his face had turned a little earthy. He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Hank must be joking, haha...... We're just a poor aristocrat, so it's worth getting the pirates to come together. ”

"Whether it's a joke or not, Lord Sharif must know it best." Saying this, Hankho stood up, stared at Sharif, who was already a little flustered on the screen, and said, "If there is anything inconsistent with the mission issued by the Lord in the Mercenary Guild and the actual situation, you can give up the mission now and return decisively." If you want to say anything when the pirates are swarming, it's not up to us to call the shots. ”

"But I believe ......," Hank suddenly smiled mysteriously, "I believe that a viscount with a lot of treasure will definitely be more attractive than a shipload of poor mercenaries." And, even if we escape, we have evidence that your mission doesn't match the reality, so we're not at fault. ”

"How to do it is the best choice, I think, you should know." After saying this, Hank directly closed the communication, and on the other side of the screen, only Viscount Sharif was left staring at the already dark screen in a daze, and even the cold sweat left on his forehead did not want to wipe it.

"Uncle...... Uncle. Javik, who was hiding on the side, walked out timidly after the communication was turned off, his face was completely unprecedented, and he said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, are they all true? Are those pirates really just for scouting? ”

Sharif touched his nephew's hair, sighed and said, "It seems that the news has leaked. These pirates are clearly coming at us. ”

"That'...... Then let's run away. Javik immediately panicked and stammered.

"Javik!" Sharif suddenly shouted, and then said slowly: "Let me tell you the truth, we can't go back." Since those people can control a large number of pirates to intercept here, I am afraid that the family has already been occupied by them, and we will only be caught in the net when we go back. ”

"I ...... I ......" Listening to Sharif's words, Javik was struck by lightning and muttered, "No...... No...... It can't be, uncle...... I...... I don't want to die. ”

"Javik, do you know why I only took you alone when I came out this time?" Sharif looked at Javik's ugly face and sighed, "Because you are the only direct disciple in the family who has cultivated martial arts to the fifth level or above, and has also learned mecha manipulation. I won't change the route of this ship, but if you do encounter a large group of pirates, I hope you can ......."
