Angels Are Not Birdmen [Interstellar]

The once proud core members of the Kirk family are running around the empire like bereaved dogs.

"Father, there are at least tens of thousands of chasing troops detected ahead." Kelvin Kirk's face was full of exhaustion.

In the past few days, there have been no fewer than ten groups of chasing troops, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger every time.

If it were the same as before, the Kirk family would not take the troops of tens of thousands of people seriously.

Even if they split up and flee now, this number of people will not pose a threat to them.

But the Eastern Military Region controls the means of space support, as long as they stop and fight with the troops, they will be locked in position.Soon after, there will be continuous soldiers coming to surround them.

Before Lu Yu passed on the exercises, they were not afraid of going head-to-head with the Eastern Military Region.However, today is different from the past, and now they are not opponents of the Eastern Military Region.Not to mention, what they took away was only the core of the family, and the number was far smaller.

The Kirk family had no choice but to flee, even if they were not weak, they did not dare to turn around and fight back.

"Change direction again and take route [-]." Jasper Kirk sneered, "We made a lot of preparations before the action, and there are as many escape routes as possible."

Kelvin is confident in his escape plan. "The imperial army has to deal with the beast tide, so it is impossible to allocate too many troops to pursue it. It can intercept us a few times, but there is no way to spend it with us forever."

"Everyone cheer up!" Theresa Kirk cheered for everyone. "As long as we can get out of the empire's borders, Hawthorne will arrange for the federal army to pick us up."

During the beast horde, it was impossible for the empire to turn against the Federation. No matter how angry they were about the betrayal of the Kirk family, they would not choose to attack directly.

As long as the Kirk family can enter the Federation with the help of Hawthorne, the Empire loses the initiative.

"General Hawthorne is ready." Kelvin showed the information on the optical brain, injecting a powerful reassurance into everyone.

The worries in the hearts of the soldiers faded a little, and most of the fatigue on their faces dissipated, and they cheered up and continued to move forward.

Jasper looked at Kelvin with a hint of admiration, and then became serious again the next moment. "How many of the hidden crimes in the industry have played a role?"

"The first batch has exploded one after another, adding [-] to [-] deaths to the empire." Teresa had a cruel smile on her face.

How anti-life the effects of those devices are, they, the senior members of the Kirk family, know best.

"Twenty or thirty dead people can't divert the attention of the empire, and directly detonate the second batch." Jasper didn't hesitate at all.

The industries that cannot be transferred in the family did not detonate at the same time, but were divided into multiple batches.

Although detonating at the same time can catch the royal family by surprise and cause the empire to suffer greater losses.But their original intention of detonating the industry was to help core members escape from the empire, and how much damage they caused was secondary.

As long as they can successfully divert the empire's attention, they will give up their pursuit.It is not unacceptable for the follow-up to be discovered and destroyed in advance.

Jasper seemed unsafe, and added another sentence. "The interval between the third batch doesn't need to be too long. If you think it's appropriate, just detonate it directly. It must make the empire feel threatened."

Only when the loss makes the empire feel threatened, will it be possible to give up chasing them.

"Understood!" Teresa took out a special controller, and there were [-] or [-] red lights on the light curtain, indicating that the 'explosion' was successful.

He tapped the controller a few times with his fingers, and the number of red lights on the light curtain rose rapidly, doubling in a short time.

After only a few breaths, Teresa shot again, increasing the explosion area again.

Compared with the previous two times, this time there is a special case.A red light on the light curtain flashed twice, and it took a long time before it exploded successfully.

Teresa couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Patriarch, a gun has been found."

"This is a good thing for us." Jasper seemed to be in a good mood. "Someone has been discovered, which proves that the empire has begun to pay attention."

"Whether it is searching for the location of the device or researching the method of breaking the device, a lot of manpower is required." Kelvin couldn't help laughing. "During the beast horde, there are only so many troops that can be mobilized. If we allocate manpower to deal with it, our pressure will be much less."

"Choose before chasing traitors and protecting the people, the imperial family will definitely choose to protect the people." Theresa's tone was very firm.

The Kirk family has developed in the empire for so many years, and they have long been familiar with the royal family's behavior style, otherwise they would not use this method to divert the attention of the army.

"The benevolence of a woman." Jasper was obviously disdainful of the royal family's behavior.

"Thanks to their women's benevolence, we can judge the empire with the least cost." Kelvin's tone was the same as Jasper's.

If the imperial family didn't care so much about the people, their plans would undoubtedly be a little more uncertain, and they might even focus on the beast tide outside the territory.

Although the Kirk family has ways to interfere, doing so will undoubtedly be more risky, and it will also make the federal people vigilant.

Jasper nodded slightly, and urged everyone. "Now is a good time to leave, let's speed up."

The marching speed of the Kirk family accelerated a bit, as they imagined, and the number of troops blocked on the way decreased significantly.

Jasper and the others were secretly happy, and followed the planned route and stepped out of the empire's territory.

"Great! We successfully escaped from the empire!" Kelvin was a little excited.

The younger generation was very excited, and the expressions of the senior family members were indeed somewhat complicated.

Although they have successfully escaped from birth, the foundation accumulated by the Kirk family over the years has also been destroyed.

"The Kirk family will regain today's loss one day." Teresa seemed to be admonishing the younger generation, and also seemed to be talking to herself.

Jasper turned his head to look at the empire's borders, but he didn't feel sad about the moon and autumn. "It's not safe yet, we need to join General Hawthorne as soon as possible."

"The army that came to respond is nearby, everyone follow me!" Kelvin glanced at the positioning on his brain, and flew the mech in one direction.

Everyone flew the mecha for a while, and found a faint light in the starry sky ahead.

The light just flickered slightly, and when you wanted to observe it carefully, it had already disappeared.

Kelvin glanced at the location, his tone a little excited. "General Hawthorne is ahead!"

"Everyone follow." Jasper also relaxed a bit.

Everyone arrived at their destination one after another, but they didn't see Hawthorne immediately.

Jasper and the others were not in a hurry, waiting for the other party to confirm their identities.

Although the empire would not rashly take action against the federal army during the beast tide, it would not allow the federal army to dominate in front of itself either.

If Hawthorne's army is discovered by the empire in advance, the previous plan will be in vain.His caution is a good thing for the Kirk family.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and blurred figures gradually appeared in the starry sky.

A hearty voice came from the front, "I heard that the Kirk family is worth a lot, and we want to see it today."

Before everyone in the Kirk family could react, those vague figures had already surrounded them.

Kelvin's expression couldn't help but change, "Who are you guys?!"

"I'm old acquaintances with the Kirk family. Is it true that the young patriarch doesn't know my identity?" Wodehouse took two steps forward and looked at everyone with a smile.

The House Pirates and the Kirk family have cooperated many times, and it is good to say that they are old acquaintances.

"Captain Wodehouse chose to act at this time, but he wants to fight with our family forever?" Jasper looked a little dignified.

He didn't care about the House Pirates, but he had to care about the meaning of their appearance.

The strength of the House Pirates was not high, and even if the Kirk family gave up part of their strength, it was still impossible for them to rob them.

It's just... Hawthorne, who was supposed to show up, didn't show up. Instead, the Erhaus Pirates, who haven't been out for a long time, showed up at the agreed place, which made people suspicious.

It would be fine if Hawthorne and Wodehouse had never been in touch, but Hawthorne and the House Pirates did have a cooperation that was not considered cooperation.Both of them had participated in the Owendo star incident, and had a lot of contact time secretly.

Wodehouse didn't seem to notice Jasper's increasingly ugly face, and said to himself. "What did Chief Kirk say? Our pirate group only seeks money and not life. As long as the patriarch is willing to give enough benefits, how can the House pirate group become enmity with the Kirk family?"

Jasper didn't hesitate too much, "I can give you the benefits you want, but there is one condition."

"As long as the money is in hand, everything is easy to talk about." Wodehouse moved the hat on his head, half of his face was hidden under the brim of the hat, and the slightly raised corners of his lips were faintly visible.

Jasper turned his head and glanced at Kelvin. Kelvin stood up with some heartache, and handed over several valuable treasures to Wodehouse.

"The core members of your Kirk family are only worth this?" Wodehouse said with dissatisfaction.

Jasper's face remained unchanged, "This is just asking for directions, as long as you are willing to answer our questions, there will naturally be more."

Wodehouse smiled, "Just ask."

"Did the House Pirates reach an agreement with Hawthorne?" Jasper directly expressed his doubts.

"You mean the Federation's General Hawthorne?" Wodehouse seemed a little uncertain, but actually stuck the needle in Jasper's heart.

At this time, the most unacceptable thing for the Kirk family is that Hawthorne, who was carefully cultivated by the family, did not come to meet him as promised.

Jasper frowned, but replied anyway. "That's right, it's General Hawthorne of the Federation."

"My lord general is high above you, so how can you have anything to do with us shady pirates?" Wodehouse said with a smile, "We got a strange signal before, and we came here to guard for a while by chance. Everyone in the Kirk family. Not only our house pirate group, but also the major pirate groups nearby have received the news. It’s just that we are stronger and occupy an excellent position.”

"Hawthorne, you are really powerful!" Jasper's eyes showed killing intent.

In his opinion, Hawthorne didn't want to do it himself, and specially used benefits to lure the major pirate groups.

Although many resources of the Kirk family were transferred to Hawthorne, they also carried a lot of precious resources with them.It is also reasonable that these resources will cause the pirate group to peep.

As long as Hawthorne sends out a message, the major pirate groups will help him stop them.

If Jasper hadn't been one of the people being calculated, maybe he would have applauded him too.

"Does Patriarch Jasper have any other questions? I am willing to answer them one by one. But..." Wodehouse still smiled, "If the delay is too long, let the imperial army catch up, how about The Pirates will not be responsible."

He seemed friendly, but he was actually urging the Kirk family to take money.

"Father." Kelvin hesitated.

Jasper gritted his teeth, "Give it to him!"

Kelvin hesitated for a moment, but still handed over the resources in his hand.

Hawthorne's betrayal made the Kirk family even worse. Their resources have become the family's last confidence.Once it is exhausted, the family will face difficulties.

Now every resource is very important to them, but resources are nothing compared to time.The resources can be collected again when they are gone, and the cost of delaying time may be their fall.

Wodehouse took the resource and smiled at Jasper. "We, the House Pirates, walk the talk."

As he spoke, he led people back directly, and the Kirk family also wanted to leave.However, the House Pirates could not withdraw from their alert range.Another group of people gathered around.

The major pirate groups knew that the Kirk family didn't want to waste time in the starry sky, so they seized the opportunity to come and eat the big family one by one.

It’s okay if no one starts. The House Pirates were the first, and other pirates naturally wanted to be the second and third. The Kirk family has become the fat in the eyes of many pirates.
