"Company Commander Lothar did not intend to conceal it, but...ah, the commander has no choice. In the long-term tug-of-war, although both sides have suffered losses, our losses have been greater. Even if we can continue to be replenished by warships, the Black Legion has found a way to attack us. They began to avoid the main force of the battle group and constantly attack our supply line...The entire battle group and Caya Airport have a total of millions of people. The Pandora Galaxy is famously barren again, and the logistics pressure is very huge. We have lost hundreds of transport ships in just half a year. If this continues, the situation is not good. The commander decided to take the lead in launching the general attack when the other party is still addicted to attacking the logistics line, and at least it has to hurt the Black Legion."
"I didn't question General Karanswo's strategy, but do you think if the two sides fight to the death, how likely is the victory?"
"Sixteen...70% should be there."
"70%, ha, then if I tell you that the Red Pirates also intervened in this war, how likely do you think the chances of winning?"
"What!?"
Neo's voice was trembling. If there was really the extra power of the Red Pirate, then the Karansvo abacus would not be as simple as failing.
Even the entire attack group must be buried with you!
"It's useless to say more. Replenish the ammunition and oil immediately, and then we will go to support General Karanswo immediately."
And on the edge of the "Eidman Alloy Domain", the Pandora battle group had stalled for a full twenty minutes.
Admiral Orson Carranswo, dressed in a decent blue naval uniform, paced back and forth on the gorgeous bridge of the Revenge, but still did not look away from the main display.
They had been following the plundering ship for 6 hours. They thought the other party would take them to a temporary stronghold or naval base of the Black Legion, but the other party suddenly stopped the fire and stopped.
After waiting for a long time, General Orson Carranswo speculated that they had been discovered.
Then there is no need to continue hiding.
"Call them."
The general who was nearly 70 years old but still strong said to his communications technician:
"To be clear, if they raise a shield or a rechargeable weapon, we will fire immediately."
The waiter nodded and spoke to his console pickup:
"Here, here is the Revenge. You have entered the fire range of our ship and remained still. You must not activate any defense or attack system, otherwise you will be eliminated immediately."
But the other party only responded with a static hissing chat.
"We're going to board the ship."
The general said to his first mate:
"Let the second jump team go to the starboard flight cabin report and prepare to launch three assault boats."
"A whole jump gang team, commander?"
Admiral Karanswo stroked his uniform coat with his hands.
"It may be just a frigate, but it can accommodate twice as many traitors as it delivers orders."
"Forgive me, Commander, why not destroy it now?"
"Information, we need to find out where it has been and know any intelligence related to the Black Legion fleet, even a servant, cannot be spared."
"I understand, commander."
Soon, the assault boat carrying three hundred people jumped into the gang team was launched.
The ship was not far away and the commandos soon saw it.
It is obvious that it has just endured a cruel battle, with scars on the hull, and some of the damage looks scary - mainly due to the large and wide cracks on the flanks.
According to the scan, it can be seen that its engine is operating and sprays out bursts of plasma clusters intermittently.
Its track is a bit curved: the hull slowly rotates around its penetration axis.
After approaching, the assault boat did not rush into the air, slowed down, and swept through a section of the hull with a searchlight, illuminating the burning of the plasma and the large pale patches swept by the laser.
The close-range scanning bird craft sent back very few details—perhaps a residual sign of life, but it is almost impossible to distinguish from the rebirth of the plasma reactor and the environmental system.
"Someone may be on the boat."
"The servant, robot, there are a lot of things that can survive there without crew."
"I don't know if there is a heretic chick."
"The kind that can you eat below?"
"The sir asked us to catch the alive. Now the ship may not be able to withstand the forced breaking of the shell. We have to find a suitable crack to drill in."
"Hey, wait!"
The driver's call led everyone's attention out of the main boat, and then he locked the searchlight to a specific area of the frigate's bow:
“That’s…”
The light shows the pattern of an eight-point star on the side of the beak-shaped impact corner, with the focus being that the cannon positions on both sides are slowly rotating.
"withdraw!!!"
As the assault boats turned around and left the enemy ships, various monitors suddenly lit up on the bridge of the Revenge, and the scanner's warning flashed like the lights on the celebration.
"Commander, we detected an energetic surge in enemy ships!"
"The assault boat is being set as a target, and the enemy's point defense turret is activated!"
Admiral Karanswo watched the three landing craft push into a tumble dive attitude, and the automatic confrontation system carried by the landing craft ejected wire and flare clouds with scanning impedance properties after speeding up.
"Open fire!"
The general ordered on the communicator.
"Commander, that bombing might-"
The plundering ship's divination instrument was locked on the assault boat that flew and dodged. The sirens immediately made a big fuss, and the whimper of the sensing warning also increased to whine.
A second later, the driver of one of the ships began to curse.
"The missile was launched, twenty of a total of a missile cluster, and there were 13 seconds left before the impact."
The little highlight of the plundering ship instantly turned into an orange star. A second later, several laser burning rails quietly burned towards the spinning assault boat, and the nearest one passed only within a few meters.
And as this energy approaches, more warning lights and sirens jump and flash.
The driver pulled the assault boats from the dodging roll to the direct route away from the enemy ships, leaving blue trajectories as they crossed the void.
Eight seconds after the plundering ship opened fire, a series of missiles swept through the void, but fortunately they were still some distance away from the still accelerating assault boat.
After 13 seconds, the missile hit, and the flames on the plundering ship burned from the ship until they reached the bow. The plasma and burning gas licked along the broken guard board, like mottled ripples on the surface of the oil body.
Admiral Karanswo breathed a long sigh and sat back into his seat.
At this time, the communication link suddenly rang.
"Commander, we detected multiple signals at the asteroid boundary.
"More ships? Speed, direction?"
"Come straight to us! There are six so far, and the navigator believes at least four more ships are about to leave."
