metal empire

Chapter 269 Robbed
In the next period of time, Yang Ming began to travel on the Canglong on the colonial planets captured by various emperors, and placed the primary bases and Pandora's gold portals on these planets. Energy crystal mines and source materials, and stock gold-eating ants on these planets.

With the rapid increase in the number of primary bases, the speed of construction of warships is also increasing sharply, and the required metal capacity value is also increasing, making Yang Ming constantly looking for new mineral planets to stock gold-eating ants.

Moreover, there are mechanical starry sky behemoths with even more terrifying consumption. The consumption of one hundred metal crystals each is terrifying.

This day was No. 70 six days of Yang Ming's wandering in the starry sky. Most of the colonial stars had been placed on primary bases and portals by Yang Ming.

But as time passed, Yang Ming's mood began to become irritable again. Now that such a long time has passed, the fusion of the guardian spirit has not been completed, and Yang Ming does not know how Yang Luoluo is now. .

Just when Yang Ming felt extremely irritable, a few beeps suddenly sounded on the battleship.

"Master, the command ship of the Imperial Fleet sent a message saying that the transport fleet led by Wang Hao was suddenly attacked by a large number of interstellar pirates, and the escorting battle fleet was broken up. All the goods were transported away by the interstellar pirates using material transmission technology. gone."

Hearing this, Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became angry. These damned interstellar pirates made up their minds to hit him on the head.

"Jianxun Emperor Fleet Command Ship."

After a while, the three-dimensional holographic image of the emperor appeared in front of Yang Ming, and Yang Lan was also beside the emperor.

"What's going on, why did those interstellar pirates suddenly attack our commercial fleet?"

Yang Ming frowned and asked Yang Lan and the emperor.

"In order to avoid trouble, our commercial fleet pays energy crystals according to their rules when entering and exiting the Thor trade star. I have already sent someone to ask them what they mean."

A trace of anger appeared on Yang Lan's face.

"Have you found where the transport ship was sent by them?"

"No, they seem to have blocked the signal of our battleship in a special way. It is still impossible to find out where they sent the battleship, but judging from the transmission distance of their material transmission technology, it should not be too far away. , I have sent a fleet to search for it in that star field.”

The emperor spoke.

"Hmph, we just don't want to bother us to pay the fee in and out. They really think that we are afraid of them. Which pirate group did it?"

Speaking of this, Yang Ming's face has already shown a trace of hostility.

"According to the brothers on the frigate who came back, it seems that there is not a single interstellar pirate group, and the warships of the four major interstellar pirate groups around the Thor trade star field in the mixed fleet that attacked them all have warships."

Hearing the emperor's words, Yang Ming frowned. This time, the four major pirate regiments were jointly dispatched, and Yang Ming smelled something unusual from it.

"Damn the pirate group, since they want to die, then we will fulfill them and inform the captains that there will be a meeting on Lehman Star."

After disconnecting the communication, Yang Ming said, "Xiaozhi, you are driving the Canglong back to Lehman Star, and I will go first."

After giving Xiaozhi the task, Yang Ming returned to Lehman Star through the portal, and came to a hall specially built for meetings.

I saw that many people had already rushed over from various places and gathered in the meeting room. After seeing Yang Ming's arrival, they all stopped chatting. From Yang Ming's expression, everyone could tell that those unlucky interstellar pirates were probably going to die this time. It's unlucky, they don't move so many commercial fleets, but they want to go to Yang Ming's fleet, this is not courting death, or something.

"Everyone sit down, Old Chen, how many fleets have we compiled?"

Yang Ming sat down and asked Chen Bin.

"In addition to the three major fleets of the Emperor, Blood, and Hades originally compiled, the 'Rainstorm' fleet of the Rain Division, the 'Blood Thorn' fleet of the Queen of Thorns, the 'Singing of the Earth' fleet of the Rock Art, and the Fire Meteor fleet have been added again. "Red Fire Fleet", Zhongcun's "Broken Soul" fleet, Chu Yifan's "Lightning Fleet", An Xu's "Fearless Warrior" fleet, a total of ten fleets, and now each fleet is ten standard fleets Configuration."

Hearing this, Yang Ming's face softened a little. Yang Ming didn't expect to have ten huge fleets now. In Yang Ming's mind, even a fourth-level civilization might not be able to have such a powerful combat power.

"Can we supply the consumption of these ten fleets now?"

The more fleets, the stronger the strength is undoubtedly, but the consumption is also extremely terrifying.

"With the energy we have plundered and the growing metal business, it is enough to supply the consumption of this powerful fleet."

Hearing Yang Lan's words, Yang Ming nodded.

"Except for the four fleets of the Emperor, Hades, Hot Blood, and Rainstorm, the other six fleets have never shown up in front of other civilizations, which can be regarded as our hidden strength."

Yang Ming nodded when he heard Chen Bin's words, and sat there thinking about how to deal with this matter.

At this moment, Yang Lan's communicator rang. This thing was bought on Sol Star, which can transmit messages across planets. Yang Lan looked at it and mapped the message to the air.

"Take 5 million energy crystal coins to Star Taris in exchange for your goods."

The signature below is the Reaper Interstellar Pirates. They sent this message to the trading company established by the Earth Federation on Sol, and the company's staff forwarded it to Yang Lan immediately after receiving it.

"Death Pirates? I haven't troubled them yet, but they came here first."

Yang Ming said coldly.

"The volume of goods transported this time is relatively large, and the value is more than one billion energy crystal coins. Even if they sell it at a low price, they can definitely earn more than this amount of energy crystal coins. Why do they want to exchange it with us?"

Yang Lan thought for a while and said.

"Boss, I also think there are a few doubts here. When they attacked the commercial transport fleet, it was clearly a planned action, and they contacted the other interstellar pirate groups in advance, and it may even be a plan that has been planned for a long time." Take action, and directly robbed us of the shipment that carried the most cargo."

"The second is what Yang Lan said. The interstellar pirates have never taken the initiative to send a message. If it is valuable, they will sell it cheaply to the surrounding civilized planets."

"Third, they obviously have the strength to wipe out the escort battleships of our transport fleet, but in the end they let go of a few ships. It seems that they deliberately asked them to send us a message."

Yang Ming listened quietly to the emperor's analysis, frowning slightly.

"You mean they seem to have just robbed our goods, but they have an unknown conspiracy?"
