After all, Sid's entire pirate group was first deceived by Liu Tao and sent to Balt, and in the end they were all wiped out without much effort.
In the next few years, they finally accumulated some fleets, but they encountered the invasion of Balt's mechanical civilization and were completely destroyed again after two battles.
Although for most of the next six months, Balt's mechanical civilization had been entangled with the Scorpion pirates and had no time to care about them.
But even so, they could not regain their fighting strength.
because...
All warship production lines were moved to the Totobar star field a few years ago because of Liu Tao's order.
It can be said that these pirate groups currently have no warship production system at all. Even if they want to restore it, it will be difficult to establish a complete system in a few years.
Therefore, Sid, who was in front of Jiang Xingchen at this moment, was almost a defenseless galaxy.
The seven main legions, the legions directly under the headquarters, plus the Elf Legion.
It only took a month to complete the preliminary sweep.
But during this process, Liu Tao's heart was bleeding every day.
As the leader of the Interstellar Pirate Alliance, those are the pirate groups under his command.
Now, it was completely wiped out by Jiang Xingchen, without even giving him a chance to take the assessment of the affiliated civilization.
The life of Sid the Pirate King was over just a few years after he experienced it.
However, he knew very well that the Federation's attitude towards interstellar pirates only had one word: kill!
As for the Scorpion Pirates, it was purely because of Liu Feng's existence that they were able to avoid execution.
After all, Liu Feng is not only the head of the Federation's warship design department, but also the oldest human being in the Federation.
The senior management will give you some face.
In addition, the Scorpion Pirates have never attacked humans.
Only then did he escape.

"Brother, where is the next stop?"
"Next stop?"
"Yes, just like the Sculptor galaxy group, I will continue to the next galaxy group to find out!"
"You guy..."
On the Kaitian, Jiang Xingchen was speechless when he heard what Liu Tao asked in the communication.
Good guy, besides continuing to live the life of an interstellar pirate, I really have no other ideas in my head.
"I said Liu Tao, you can't try another life. There is no future in being a pirate..."
"What? If you don't want to be a pirate? Then what's the point of life?"
...
This guy is hopeless!
Originally, Jiang Xingchen had indeed considered sending Liu Tao out before every expansion to conduct a thorough investigation of the Federation's expansion into the outer galaxy group.
But plans can't keep up with changes.
Because of the unknown high-level civilization, the Federation has decided that after capturing the Sculptor Galaxy Group, it will not continue to expand in this direction.
Instead, stop first, stabilize the current territory, and settle down.
After all, according to the current population of the Federation, the local galaxy group alone is actually enough.
To develop more galaxy groups, you also need to have the population to develop them.
Otherwise, this expansion is meaningless.
Furthermore, there is a powerful high-level civilization in this direction, and the Federation does not want to be too high-profile and attract the attention of this civilization.
It would be safer to keep a low profile and then develop, and achieve at least a seventh-level civilization before taking action.
Even if it expands, it will only expand to the edge of the universe in the short term.
And in those places, there is no need for the Scorpion Pirate Group to set up outposts.
"Liu Tao, let me tell you clearly!"
"The pirate game ends here, you have three paths to choose from in the future!"
"First, the military recently wants to establish a small-scale special operations fleet. I suggest you go to the Federal High Military Academy for a few years to study, and then try to compete for the position of commander of this fleet."
"Second, become an ordinary federal citizen and enjoy life. With your contribution this time, the federal fleet will have enough material rewards to allow you to live comfortably."
"Third, continue to be a pirate, but the consequences will be..."
"Although the federation will not execute you because of Minister Liu, life imprisonment is inevitable!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Tao's face fell instantly.
This life...
It doesn’t make any sense anymore!
"Okay, go back and think about it yourself, but give me an answer as soon as possible!"
Looking at someone's crying face, Jiang Xingchen was not ready to say more.
Let him think about it slowly, that's all he can help.
However...
Just three days later.
Ling Xiao suddenly found Jiang Xingchen in a hurry.
"Commander, something happened!"
"What's up?"
"In the Totopas star field, a natural wormhole was suddenly generated."
"Has it been tested? Short-term channel or... permanent channel?"
"Short term, but I still recommend destroying this wormhole!"
After Ling Xiao answered, he suggested again.
After all, there is a certain danger in allowing the wormhole to exist. Who knows, a large number of fleets will suddenly emerge from it one day.
And it is impossible for the pioneering fleet to allocate a large number of troops, one to guard the entrance of the wormhole.
The most important thing is that wormholes are of little significance to the Federation.
Therefore, since it is meaningless, then just destroy it and it will be over once and for all, right?
"Okay, go ahead and do it!"
"clear!"
Ling Xiao nodded and left.
However, less than ten minutes after leaving, this guy came to Jiang Xingchen again with a very ugly expression on his face.
"What's wrong? There's something wrong with destroying the wormhole?"
Seeing this, Jiang Xingchen asked doubtfully.
But think about it, it’s not right...
It's only ten minutes. Not to mention destroying the passage, the preparations haven't been done yet, right?
"Commander, something happened again!
"
"What happened this time?"
"Liu Tao...defected!"
"What?"
What the hell, Liu Tao defected?
Well, even if he can't accept the choice he gave, can he defect?
Where can he escape to?
"Commander, according to the report, Liu Tao led his former members of the Scorpion Pirate Group to pilot the 300 Pangu-class battleships..."
"Entered the wormhole!"
Good guy, he can really do it.
Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen was also speechless.
However, this is also my own mistake.
When Liu Tao went to the Sid system, although there were 1,300 battleships, it was obvious that the Scorpion Pirates did not have that many people.
Therefore, most of the battleships are controlled by soldiers sent by the Federation.
Since the pioneering fleet defeated the Balt mechanical civilization more than a month ago, the warships of the Scorpion Pirate Group have docked in a star system in Totobar to rest.
And Jiang Xingchen did not control Liu Tao or the members of the Scorpion Pirates under his command.
After all, in his opinion there is no need.
Is it possible that this guy still dares to rebel?
But the result...
What a slap in the face, this guy actually defected.
The key is...
Such a wormhole happened to appear, making it impossible for Jiang Xingchen to even pursue him.
As for why not all 1,300 warships were taken away.
That's because most of the current members of the Scorpion Pirates are federal soldiers, and it is impossible for these soldiers to follow Liu Tao.
Therefore, those who defected were those who were originally members of the Scorpion Pirates, and they could only take away so many warships.
"Commander, do we still need to destroy the wormhole?"
"Wait a minute. This guy is the only descendant of Minister Liu Feng after all. So, you should be prepared to destroy the wormhole first. If something unexpected happens, take action immediately."
"Yes, Commander!"
Ling Xiao knew very well what accident Jiang Xingchen was talking about.
That is, there are other civilizations that invade Sid through this wormhole.
He nodded immediately and went to do it.
"Oh, this guy is really causing trouble for me."
"Bai Zhi, help me contact the Federal Battleship Design Bureau. I want to speak to Director Liu Feng."
