The Emperor’s Angel of Death

In the void, a fleet of ships, Angstrom, is sailing fast towards the side of the Galen galaxy. They have just left the subspace, and the statues adorning the bows are still surrounded by lavender energy, which should not exist in the physical universe. The supplies tumbling on the Geller force field, and then quickly annihilated invisibly.

The Fast Legs is a Merchant Cruiser. It originally served as a Lunar Cruiser in the Gothic Sector, but it was severely damaged in the Gothic War. A merchant cruiser, purchased by the Hoyland family.

Captain House stared at the starry sky, looking at a gray planet that was gradually approaching. This is the outer edge of Angstrom. As long as they cross the asteroid, they will be scanned by the large monitoring station deployed by the foundry world, and then they will be identified. identity of.

The Hoyland family is one of the few merchant families allowed to directly enter the Angstrom galaxy, which contains thousands of years of interest entanglements, and also includes a secret trade chain——Hoyland family-Ann Gerstrom-Red Corsair-Hoyland Family.

These near-heretical transactions gave the Hoyland family a near-monopoly position in many markets in the Maelstrom. They could control the prices of many industrial products, raw materials, and even food, which made all trades extremely profitable.

To what extent is the trading oil and water in the maelstrom sufficient?

Even without the salaries and allowances provided by his live-in family, a Hoyland captain could make enough money from the meager cargo he privately carried to retire comfortably like a prince.

However, not all ship owners have the opportunity to obtain a lucrative route in the family. In fact, there is a strict system within the huge Hoyland family. As the owners of the White Sail, these are descendants of ancient servants who have served the Hoyland family for hundreds of generations. The history of these small families can even be traced back to the era of the Great Expedition. The backbone of the Hoyland family controls most of the high-profit routes, and further down are the owners of the black sails. They are not only the majority of the family, but also the main "thugs", robbing competitors' routes or fighting with other families They are mainly responsible for such things as fighting for territory, and the goal of their desperate struggle is to become the retainers of the Hoyland family and be promoted to the master of the white sail.

The last part is the owner of the gray sailboat. This kind of person usually just hangs a name, pays a part of the fee regularly, and can use the name of the Hoyland family to run business in the maelstrom—but the premise is that it cannot compete with the shipowners of the first three classes. When conflicts arise, small ship owners generally fall into this category. Their main goal of joining the Hoyland family is to escape the control of the empire and avoid frequent requisitions.

House is the owner of a black sail ship. His father joined the Hoyland family decades ago. After his father died in a pirate robbery, he inherited the ship and his father's contract with the merchant family. He has also made a lot of contributions to the Hoyland family, and he is considered to be a very promising person among the owners of the black sail to be promoted to the owner of the white sail.

But even so, it stands to reason that he should not be the one to take the route of Angstrom, after all, this involves the core secrets of the family.

But now is the time of war, and House heard that the family seems to be targeted by the Tribunal, so this more "dangerous" route is handed over to a capable black sail captain like him.

However, in the eyes of someone like House who is used to licking blood with knives, this is not troublesome. The Hoyland family has experienced many storms and waves since it lasted for thousands of years, and it is not the first time that they have been targeted by the Inquisition. The family has deep ties on Terra and even the Inquisition, so the matter is unremarkable.

On the contrary, it was some recent events of the Claremont family that made him quite concerned. He was very puzzled to hear that Lord Soshyan had handed over the issue of military tickets to those people.

Why?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how lucrative it is. This expedition will take several years to fight. The profit of the military ticket is simply immeasurable.

But why would this matter be handed over to the Claremont family? They have all been beaten to half their lives, and the Hoyland family is so powerful that it must be more effective if it is entrusted to them to operate.

He had also heard some rumors that the **** from the Claremont family seemed to have hugged the thigh of a space soldier, but he couldn't figure it out, how did the other party do it?

Astartes are notoriously wanting nothing, even if the little girl strips herself naked, it's useless to send her up.

What exactly does Lord Suoshyan think, is he really going to do something to the family?

It doesn't look like either—

"well."

Sighing lightly, shaking his head to drive away these distracting thoughts, House realized that this level of matter is not something he should consider, it is best for him right now.

"Check the status of each ship."

Following his instructions, the situation of every ship in the fleet was quickly reported. This fleet has two merchant cruisers, five armed merchant ships, and eleven large container ships, which are equipped with ships from the Bloody Skeleton galaxy. rare minerals.

"Owner, all ships and containers are in normal condition."

"Okay, the whole team maintains the current speed and turns on the transponder."

"yes!"

Those minerals will be exchanged for valuable arms in Angstrom, and this is only part of the voyage. The real promise of wealth is actually in another arms black market. House probably knows that the boss behind the black market is the Red Pirates. But whatever, he's just a businessman.

In addition, in the modified cargo ship of this merchant cruiser, there are also his own "private goods", some technological relics and alien artifacts, which can be sold at a good price in Angstrom, and he can exchange them for valuable They often contain some technologies that do not meet the "regulations", but they are very valuable, and then sell them at a higher price to those hive nobles who are afraid of death, and the profit in the middle is about one hundred About fifty times, and he didn't have to hand over this part of the profit at all.

"My lord, a signal!"

Suddenly, the investigator yelled.

"A γ-level distress signal. The other party's identification is KOLJ-987821. It is displayed as a medium-sized civilian passenger ship and belongs to the Kerbal Passenger Transport Company."

"Um?"

House frowned. According to the rules of navigation, all passing ships must lend a helping hand when encountering a ship in distress. However, considering the tasks they are going to perform now, it seems inappropriate.

"Where is the other party?"

"It's about 500 kilometers ahead of our route! The outline of the opponent has been scanned~www.readwn.com~ Afterwards, an image of a common passenger ship appeared in front of House.

"this-"

If he refused to save him, his reputation would be ruined if someone else rescued the boat, and it might even affect the family's reputation.

"Can you connect to the other party's bridge? Check the situation first to see if it's an engine failure or something. If it doesn't work, send a team of maintenance engineers up, or leave a ship behind. The fleet will go first, and the delivery is important."

"I'll see if it can be connected. The other party has opened the wide-area communication line."

The moment the communicator was connected to the other party's communication, an unnatural scream resounded through the bridge of the Quick Legs, and quickly spread to other warships, paralyzing all their thinker systems in an instant!
