Governor Alecto agreed to renew the contract, giving up hunting in Blue Star, and trading the same number of crystal nuclei instead.

Captain Dulwich terminated the mission, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he temporarily stayed at the Blue Star Base, waiting for the arrival of the ore transport ship to complete this year's transaction before setting off to return to Star Five.

Siyar's stand was firm, Governor Alecto made it clear, and the new contract came into effect.Even if he is not very satisfied with the outcome of the matter, as Dulwich, he must choose to accept it.

He is a soldier, and he has sworn allegiance to the governor since the day he boarded the starship.

To go against the decision made by the Governor-General would be a violation of his own oath.

Recalling what Shiar said, Dulwich had to think differently, and had to admit that if someone broke into Star Five to hunt ore beasts, he would definitely command the spaceship to blast them into pieces.

"Intelligent population, blue star native species, alien beast."

During the days waiting for the arrival of the transport ship, Dulwich had nothing to do, so he simply turned on the recorder given to him by Siyaer and began to study the blue star population.I felt that the content inside was too simple, so I went to the laboratory and applied to Alpha, hoping to borrow more detailed information.

Although the matter was successful, the experience in the middle left Captain Dulwich with lingering fears.He even swears that if he is not forced to, he will not step into the laboratory even if he is killed!

Within a quarter of an hour, he was swallowed by mutated flowers three times, hung from the roof by mutated vines twice, beaten by mutated grass five times, and nearly splashed with venom a few times.

All kinds of processes can be described as thrilling.

Having experienced countless battles, big and small, Dulwich was still forced to cling to the wall.He didn't break out of the door right away, which is already a strong psychological quality.

Having had this terrible experience, Dewych shuddered when he saw the blue figure, and solemnly warned the accompanying crew not to approach the laboratory unless necessary, let alone offend these frightening medical officers!

In hindsight, Dulwich was surprised as well as frightened.

He has great confidence that the simulated environment in the laboratory is modeled after a garbage star.Most of the mutated plants that made him suffer a lot survived well in the simulated environment.

Thinking of the generous conditions that Garbage Star offered in the alliance to improve the environment, Captain Dulwich paused, and immediately contacted the communication officer. He learned that there were indeed traces of Garbage Stars on the spaceships that entered and exited Blue Star recently, and his expression changed a few times. .

"really."

Dulwich took a deep breath.

If it is as he imagined, the strength of the Blue Star base is definitely far beyond everyone's imagination.

Thinking of the possible retaliation for angering Shiar, Captain Dulwich shivered unconsciously.

He mourned the commander's enemies.

Aldo arrived with two ships of cargo, and seeing the wreckage of the spaceship floating outside the planet, he couldn't help being curious.Asking the pirates who are familiar with him, and knowing the general process of the incident, there is a little surprise, but it is reasonable.

"With Xi Yaer's temper, Blue Star has repeatedly banned poaching, which has violated his bottom line. It is not easy to bear it until now."

"I heard that he has also revised the contract with the governor of Star Five, which shows that he is determined and there is absolutely no room for change."

"Whoever dares to oppose him in this matter will definitely seek death by himself."

Based on the wreckage of the spaceship floating outside the stars and the experience of Dulwich and his party, the pirate captain made the above conclusions.

The crew members looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.

As far as they know, there seems to be more than that.

Many people have seen Siyaer's "unexpected" behavior, and some rumors are not absolutely untenable.

A group of pirates with XingXiu blood could more or less feel the pheromone spreading in the air when Shiar approached.In fact, this kind of pheromone is too domineering and exclusive. Even if the blood has been mixed for several generations, the blood relationship is already quite thin, so it cannot be ignored.

"Why, do you have different opinions?" Aldo turned around and looked at the crew who had been silent since just now.

"No, you are quite right!"

The crew nodded quickly and moved in unison.

Looking across the crowd, Aldo chuckled lightly, said nothing more, swung his cloak, and strode off the spaceship.

The mission of Dulwich and his party was suspended, and the captain was busy studying the blue star population, but the crew members were so idle that their hair grew and they had nothing to do all day long.The only place to relieve boredom is the base training room.

Just using strength to fight, it is inevitable that you will be accidentally injured.Wounds that don't heal on their own, such as poison from melee combat, necessitate a trip to the infirmary.

What needs to be explained in advance is that it is by no means that the opponent secretly uses methods to break the rules, but that some ethnic groups are poisoned all over their bodies, and the toxins spread throughout every cell of their bodies. If they are not careful, they will be attacked.Just like Blue Star's man-of-war jellyfish, unless the whole body is covered, accidents are always inevitable.

In contrast, Moran's toxin was fierce, but the method of poisoning his opponent was really a child's play.

In order to avoid being troubled by toxins, why don't you simply wear protective clothing to discuss?

It's so stupid to smoke!

No matter what the result of the battle is, it will become the laughing stock of others.

If you don't want to wear protective clothing, you will face the danger of poisoning.The spare antidote on board is insufficient, and it is necessary to go to the medical room.And every time they enter the medical room, the crew will receive "meticulous" care.

After coming down several times in a row, everyone finally understood why Captain Dulwich told them to avoid this group of medical officers.

But apart from killing time in the training room, they really have nothing to do.After thinking about it, the only thing I can do is to choose my opponent carefully, and try to avoid groups that will make me fall for it, so as to reduce the chance of being taken care of by medical officers.

After a long wait, Dulwich received a communication that the transport ship loaded with ore had already set off, and it would not take long to arrive at Blue Star.

After confirming that the message was correct, Dulwich was in a good mood, put down the communicator, turned on the recorder again, turned over the last page, and found that he had read all the content.

This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

Heaven and man have been fighting for a long time, after all, curiosity overwhelmed fear. Dulwich got up and went to the command tower, intending to bite the bullet and see Alpha again.

He had just boarded the elevator and was about to talk to Sanders, who was opposite, when a shadow suddenly fell over his head.

The two raised their heads to see what the "shadow" was, and their expressions changed at the same time.

At the same time, harsh sirens sounded in the base, and there were chaotic footsteps in the airport.

The elevators stopped one after another, and the protective covers opened one after another.Sanders nodded to Dwych, jumped down from a high place, supported the ground with one hand to reduce the momentum, and immediately started a long line and ran towards the command tower at high speed.

The alarm sounded non-stop, and the base defense system was activated.

On all sides of the building, dazzling beams of light rise into the sky, diffuse in the middle, and the light interweaves with each other to form an airtight light network.

The optical network continued to extend and spread, and the edges were closely connected, and finally closed above the command tower, solidified into a semicircular sphere, protecting the base.

The orders were issued one after another, and the base personnel acted quickly.

The aircraft took off at the same time, the speed was increased to the highest, and they staggered in mid-air.

The air corridor leading to the command tower was closed one after another, and all the elevators near the dock stopped working.

Foreign merchants and pirates were ordered to stay in the dock and were not allowed to leave the airport for half a step.If you refuse to obey the order, you will be regarded as a threat and taken away immediately.If he had something wrong with his heart and took the opportunity to cause chaos in the airport, he would even be executed on the spot.

"what happened?"

Aldo walked around the elevator and walked to the front of the dock.Looking up at the sky, a red light flashed from the spar on his forehead.

In the gray clouds, several spaceships passed over the base.

One flew in the front, pulling away from the rest, and the rest were chasing closely, holding on tightly.

As the distance approached, Aldo was quite sure that it was a pirate spaceship that escaped, followed by a patrol ship of the Galaxy Alliance—to be precise, it was a battleship of the Stars.

Dulwich watched Sanders leave, turned and returned to the dock, and wanted to command the spacecraft to participate in the battle.

Knowing that the command tower issued an order that all spaceships are not allowed to leave the port, they immediately frowned.Turn on the communicator and contact Shial who is in the command tower.

The communication flashed twice, and the signal was cut off quickly.

Dwych twisted the word Chuan between his brows, glanced at the warship above his head again, strode towards Gaspers who was in charge of the security of the airport, and said loudly, "Gaspers, what's going on?"

"According to the information I just received, the Xingxiu battleship forcibly entered the Blue Star volley in the name of chasing pirates." Gaspas's expression was solemn, and the anger that could not be concealed was revealed in his voice.

"Eight warships chasing a pirate spaceship?" Aldo looked over and mocked, "Who is commanding these warships? Can the excuse be any more far-fetched?"

Gaspers said nothing, his expression darkening.

Shial reiterated repeatedly that no alien spaceship is allowed to enter Blue Star without permission.

These warships blatantly ignored the rules and brazenly invaded Blue Star, clearly ignoring the base's warning.Are they really chasing pirates, or are they deliberately provocative?

If it's the latter, as Aldo said, it's really stupid.

When a few people spoke, the pirate spaceship and the battleship had already started exchanging fire.

The fiery light beams intertwine together, and the pirate spaceship shuttled through the optical network, avoiding the bombardment many times, each time without any danger.

In contrast, the base shield was hit continuously, and the energy fluctuated violently.Destroying a medium-sized spaceship does not require such powerful firepower.It is already clear what the person in command of the battleship wants to do.

Without sufficient energy support, with the power of these light cannons, the protective cover will definitely be damaged, and nearby buildings will be destroyed.

boom!

There was another loud noise, and the forest not far from the base suddenly caught fire.

The native species and strange beasts in the forest fled in a hurry, but they didn't run very far, and another light bullet fell on their heads. Unfortunately, a few strange beasts that were running slowly were hit, and disappeared in the light in an instant, leaving no bones left.

The battleship fired continuously, and the firepower level continued to increase.

The pirate spaceship seemed to be running for its life in a hurry, but if you look closely, you will find that this spaceship is more like leading the way for the battleship, flying around the base, looking for weak points in the protective cover, and directing the battleship to bombard it.

This is not chasing pirates at all, let alone entering Blue Star out of an emergency, but a blatant provocation!

In the command tower of the base, looking at the commander of the battleship on the screen, Xi Yaer's expression was cold, and his voice was even colder: "Samuel, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation."

"In the previous communication, I have made it quite clear, respected Commander of the Blue Star Base."

Samuel sat in the command chair, his long legs crossed, his long bronze-colored hair tied behind his head.There was a smile on the handsome face, but his attitude was contemptuous, and there was no sincerity in his tone.

"In order to pursue the pirate spaceship, I had to lead my subordinates into Blue Star, I hope you can understand."

"Eight warships are needed to chase pirates?"

"This group of pirates is extremely cruel and cunning. They once joined forces with other pirates to form a fleet, attacked the two immigrant planets on Star Six, and slaughtered the population on them. They also set up an ambush and destroyed the rescue spacecraft on Star Six. "Samuel said, "Governor Lucas asked for help from the home planet, and I was ordered to carry out this mission. The other pirates have been killed, and only this fish that slipped through the net is left. In order to prevent them from escaping, I hope you can fully cooperate. Don't get in the way."

"What if I say no?"

"In that case, Governor Lucas will be very angry." Samuel narrowed his eyes, and his smile was full of sarcasm, "I heard that you filed an application to close the Blue Star Hunting Ground and turn it into private territory? I miss you It should be known that if there is an objection from the governor, this bill may be temporarily shelved."

"Are you threatening me?" Xial laughed angrily.

"No, I'm just telling the truth." Samuel shrugged. "By the way, I have more important things to do. It's a pleasure talking with you."

The tail sound fell, and the signal was interrupted.

Shiar sat on the metal chair, his eyes were frosty, and he tapped his knees with his fingers once, twice, and three times.The communicator lights up blue, and Sanders' figure appears on the screen.

"How?" There was no appeasement in Shiar's voice, but to those who knew him well, it was clearly a harbinger of massacres.

"Everything is ready." Sanders' answer was simple and clear.

"very good."

Shiar stood up, her palm covered the edge of the table, iron gray climbed up along the fingertips, and covered her entire arm in an instant.Looking out through the window, the ice blue eyes have turned into two vertical pupils.

On the spaceship, the communications officer turned to look at Samuel, opened and closed his mouth a few times, hesitant to speak.

"Nathan, what's the matter?" Samuel raised his head, the smile on the corner of his mouth hadn't disappeared, and he was obviously in a happy mood.

"Captain, you are provoking the other party." The communications officer took off the miniature recorder hanging from his ear, and said worriedly, "What should we do if the other party orders to fire?"

"If Siyar orders an attack, he will immediately become a rebel. According to the Union Code, the home planet will send a fleet to destroy it." Samuel paused, "I think that's what the Parliament and the Senate want to see most of."

"But he has the support of the Governor of Star Five, and the Governor of Star Four seems to be on his side." The helmsman said, "Not to mention, if the Blue Star base fires, we will be the first to be attacked."

Samuel shook his fingers and said with a smile: "We are chasing the pirates. These pirates slaughtered the population of Star [-] and committed many crimes on Star [-] and Star [-]. If Shiar doesn't cooperate, he will block it , What will these governors think? Do they think he is covering up pirates?"

After all, Blue Star was doing business with pirates.

"Even so, that's for the future." The helmsman shook his head, his tone full of worry, "As I told you before, if the base orders an attack, we will definitely bear the heaviest artillery fire."

"So what?" Samuel's smile turned cold, "Are you afraid?"

The helmsman fell silent.

In fact, he did not approve of the operation.It's just that the orders are given by the fleet, and he must obey them.

"I have already received information that there are no large warships in the Blue Star base." Samuel said contemptuously, "What about the strong ground firepower? Once you leave the planet, you can only bully merchant ships."

If the battle starts, with eight warships, he can easily destroy all the spaceships here.

"There are alien spaceships in the base." The communications officer said.

Samuel continued to shake his head and snorted softly.

"Nathan, do you think these smugglers and pirates are willing to do business honestly, exchanging goods for resources on the planet, or are they free from any restrictions and wantonly plundering and hunting on the planet?"

The communications officer opened his mouth and didn't utter a word for a long time.

He has long been aware of the greed of pirates and smugglers.

"Hiyar wants to change the hunting ground planet, and the parliament and the Senate will not stop it. Whether it is classified as a private territory still needs to be discussed." Samuel sneered, "This planet is not a member of the alliance, and it loses its status as a hunting ground planet. It means that both pirates and smugglers can come here to obtain resources. So, tell me, which side will they be on?"

The greedy nature will gain the upper hand, and even if there is no trouble in the base due to Shiar's reputation, he will never help.

"It's wrong to do so," said the helmsman in a deep voice.

"So what?" Samuel didn't care, "It's just a primitive star."

Knowing that Samuel would not change his mind, the comms officer and helmsman fell silent at the same time.They all knew that Samuel had a deep personal grudge against Shial, regardless of the demands of the council and the orders of the fleet.

The two belonged to the third clan, and Samuel's son participated in the hunting season with Shial, but failed to get out of the hunting ground in the end.

After the incident, Shiar lost his status as heir and was exiled by the family.Samuel always felt that the punishment was not enough, and he always wanted to avenge his son. For this reason, he did not hesitate to make a deal with the speaker secretly.

The wheel of conspiracy has begun to turn, and the horn of war has sounded.

Whether things will go as expected is unclear.However, Samuel will do whatever it takes to make Shiar fall into hell.

It's just that, while being filled with hatred and putting himself in the position of a "victim", Samuel ignored the sins he was carrying, and forgot the disaster that happened to Shiar and his mother.

In order to compete for the status of the family heir, he acquiesced and participated in this plan.

In order to protect the child, the mother is willing to go to death.

Shial, who survived, will not spare everyone involved in the murder!

During that season of hunting that changed everything, he killed Samuel's best son and dashed his hopes.Everything is like a reincarnation, and no one can break free.

The fleet fired again, without any cover, and all hit the base shield.

Due to the excessive power of the artillery fire, the protective cover vibrated, and the energy consumption continued to intensify.

At the same time, many merchants and pirates in the base received strange messages. After reading the contents, some of them frowned, while others were greedy. They looked around with endless greed in their hearts.

At this moment, another alarm sounded in the base.

With the sound of the siren, the officers and soldiers in the airport received orders to mobilize all the laser cannons to destroy the pirate spaceships and parent star warships that broke into the blue star.

"Destroy all?" Gaspers raised the corners of his mouth, nodded to Dulwich and Aldo, and walked out of the dock quickly with his entourage.

The iron-gray metal plates moved away one after another, and huge turrets rose one after another.

The muzzle opened, energy continued to gather, and the air seemed to freeze instantly.

Shiar pushed open the transparent window, looked at the warships showing off their might over the base, picked up the communicator, and gave the order to fire.

boom!

A huge roar pierced the sky, deafening.

Dazzling light beams soared into the sky, roaring past like a white fire dragon, engulfing the two warships in an instant.In the strong light, the dark clouds were dispersed.

After the light dissipated, a large number of hull fragments fell from the sky, like fiercely burning fireballs, and after landing, they smashed into deep pits, and the flames burned for a long time before finally extinguishing.

The crew on board had no time to escape. The moment the deck was broken, they were all enveloped in white light, and within two seconds, they were torn to pieces by the energy of the explosion.

The shock wave oscillated, and the ancient wood on the ground was broken in half.Broken logs flew upside down, knocking down a large piece of tall grass.

The flames soared into the air, and the mutated plants pulled out their roots, shook the burning leaves, and plunged into the nearest small river, making the sound of screaming endlessly.

In less than a moment, the water surface was filled with dead plants.

Samuel ordered to fight back, and six warships formed a battle formation, gave up pursuing the pirates, and launched a fierce attack on the base.The beams staggered, and in the fierce exchange of fire, the protective shield became precarious, and one less battleship was lost.

Realizing that he could not take advantage of it, Samuel ordered a retreat.

Just when they were about to fly out of the atmosphere and away from the blue star, the protective cover of the base suddenly opened, and more than ten medium-sized warships took off one after another, chasing them.

"It's a battleship, why do they have so many battleships!" the helmsman exclaimed.

Seeing the picture on the screen, Samuel's face finally changed.

Meanwhile, the pirate spaceship flees base fire and should have taken the opportunity to flee for its life.However, driven by greed, the pirate captain decided to repeat what Xing Liu did. When Xiyar was dragged by the battleship, he slaughtered and looted wantonly and filled all the warehouses.

"Isn't it too risky to do that?" said one of the pirates.

"What are you afraid of! The merchants and pirates there have already received the news, and they might do something. The people in the base can't tell the difference. Let's fly as far away as possible and move faster, and we will definitely gain a lot!"

"Before coming, those Star One guys promised that as long as this transaction is completed, they will immediately revoke the arrest warrant issued earlier."

The pirate captain is tall, with brownish-red skin covered with hard scales.

"I heard that the crystal nuclei here are very valuable!"

"After finally coming to Blue Star, what are you waiting for if you don't take the opportunity to earn more?"

After hearing these words, the pirates finally put aside their scruples, looked down at the forest and ocean below, licked their lips, their expressions were full of greed.

The spaceship moved forward and soon entered the eighth area.

Discovering the herd of beasts below, the pirates were extremely excited and ready to kill.Without noticing it at all, an aircraft lifted off from the sea and was flying towards this side at a fast speed.
