"Damn it, these damn pirates! I'll hang them, all of them!"
Kinlock waved his little fat fist angrily. Most of the things in the room have become fragments everywhere. It can be seen what kind of storm has just been experienced here.
So and so galaxy was invaded, so and so planet was captured, so and so warehouse was looted... This is such bad news every day during this period.
Every piece of news was like a knife, gouging out his meat, which made him lose his taste, and his body weight lost several kilograms.
Thanks to the painstaking efforts of several generations of the Kim family, jinlocke's lifetime savings have shrunk by almost one-third in this pirate disaster.
To make matters worse, the joint looting of the five pirates is only the beginning.
They took the lead in tearing open the outer defense line of the Locke consortium. During the internal crazy looting, the other broken star pirates who smelled the wind were like sharks smelling blood and gathered near the Locke consortium.
If the five pirate groups are lions, these small and medium-sized pirate groups are sideburns.
Although their strength is uneven, there are few warships, and some even have only a dozen armed merchant ships, the victory lies in the huge number, all of which add up to two or three thousand spaceships.
They swam around the periphery of the Locke consortium and flocked as soon as they found the right target.
Some galaxies of the Locke consortium just rejoiced that the looting fleet of the five pirate groups left, and tragically ushered in the second brush or even the third brush of these small and medium-sized pirate groups.
The five pirate groups despise it. They don't dislike it, so these galaxies are licked Cleaner
In this situation, naturally, the tacit consent of the five major pirate groups behind it even contributed to the fire.
When they ran away with their booty, these reluctant pirates became their scapegoats and shared a lot of pressure for them.
Their existence successfully delayed the pace of pursuit, so that the fleets of heifan and Shuanglong could calmly leave the Locke consortium with their booty.
These small and medium-sized pirate forces who come to pick up bargains do not have such a sensitive sense of battlefield smell, and are reluctant to give up the immediate interests.
The so-called man dies for wealth and birds die for food.
With the drag of booty, once they are met by the returning Locke fleet at their speed, they can hardly escape the fate of being destroyed.
However, the elimination of some small shrimps could not recover the huge losses suffered by the Locke consortium.
In particular, after the news of being wreaked by pirates spread, it triggered violent fluctuations in the stock price of Locke consortium, and the resulting economic losses are incalculable.
"Where's the clorus?" the angry jinpang had nowhere to vent his anger.
"I heard that I just came back from the wormhole, but the wormhole has been lost." my men reported carefully.
"Waste! It's waste! You can't keep it when you know that the other party is coming, son of a famous general! Pass my order, remove clorus's commander immediately and let him go home and eat sweet potatoes!"
After many heavy losses and strategic failures, coupled with many previous disobedience, Kim Pang's tolerance of clorus has obviously reached the limit.
"Er... Well, Lord clorus has insufficient troops and was attacked by the other side on both sides. The loss of the wormhole is indeed a non war crime, and it is said that Lord clorus has a backhand..."
"Shut up! Did he buy you into talking for him like that?" kinlock rudely interrupted his explanation and stared at him dangerously.
"No, no, no!" his men waved their hands in a cold sweat. "It's just that behind clorus is the great noble on the other side of the parent galaxy. I'm afraid we'll offend some big people if we withdraw him!"
"Hum! Big man?" kinlock sneered.
"Do you think I didn't know that clorus was the second prince? If he didn't have some ability and wanted to get close to the second prince, do you think I would let him buy people's hearts in the first fleet?"
No one is a fool. Although jinlocke is just a businessman, he has been struggling in the Empire for so many years and has developed the family business to its current scale. There is absolutely no lack of skill and ability.
The second prince holds shares in the Locke consortium, and puts people around him. He even has a layout in the broken star field. He just wants to make these forces his help when necessary.
It is not surprising that today, when the Empire has declined from prosperity to decline and the Royal control has been greatly weakened, every prince who is interested in that position, and even the powerful nobles, are supporting their separatist forces, either explicitly or secretly.
The reason why kinlock turned a blind eye to the infiltration of the second prince's power is actually a bet in advance and optimistic about the future of the second prince.
If one day the second prince really takes that seat and depends on the past, the Locke consortium will naturally rise.
However, this time, Chloe rose was eager to get the secret treasure to claim credit, regardless of his safety and orders, but he had already touched the bottom line of kinlock.
When his subordinates heard jinlocke speak this kind of words without hesitation, they sweated more on their forehead and didn't dare to speak again.
After a vent, kinlock finally calmed down.
The Locke consortium is now in turmoil and has suffered heavy losses. It is a time when it needs external support. This time is really not suitable for moving cloros.
After thinking about it, kinlock finally had to sigh.
"Tell clorus that I don't care what method he uses, this loss must be made up for me, or he will pack up his own bags and go away!"
……
On the other hand, Nie Yun on his way back received a not unexpected message
"You mean they want to buy our soldiers?"
"Yes! The Dragon cavalry Messiah just gave us a ship of rare minerals, and then detained our three transport ships. There are more than 100000 of our people on it, and please the captain to make decisions for my Ryan people!" Spartak said angrily.
Just now, another sub fleet heard that the people were about to be forcibly "bought away", Spartak was very worried.
Beside him, the old leader of the Ryan clan was also present.
He carefully observed the rumored ghost captain, but did not express his views on the experience of his people for the first time.
He was waiting to see how the Ryan nominal "liberator" dealt with the problem.
The previous wormhole war finally made him understand why the Ryan soldiers were so friendly to a group of robots.
Obviously, a group of people who can block guns for you on the battlefield, even if it is a hammer, you have to use it as a mascot!
Originally, the old clan leader was worried that the other party would attract them. He just wanted to use the Ryan clan as cannon fodder on the battlefield. At best, they just jumped from one fire pit to another.
However, after seeing the final Casualty Report of the last war, he was completely relieved.
In order to reduce the casualties of the Ryan people, they do not hesitate to use their own mechanical "headquarters" as wingmen for them. Even if it is just to buy the hearts of the Ryan people, the old clan leader must accept this feeling.
Initial trust has been established, which is why he did not question the ghost captain at the first time after hearing that his people were detained.
Of course, the initial recognition does not mean that the Ryan family will work hard for each other. The old patriarch still needs to listen to his words and watch his deeds
"Well, I know about it."
Surprisingly, Nie Yun just smiled meaningfully and didn't seem to be angry at all.
The old clan leader's heart sank and his face became dark.
Also, it's not a cost-effective deal to offend the two most important allies for just some booty.
Sure enough... Do you still regard us as some chips
"Captain..." Spartak was in a hurry.
"All right! Don't worry. I promise you that your people will come back soon. I can't miss anyone I like!"
Hearing Nie Yun's domineering promise, Spartak immediately opened his mouth and had no doubt that his people could come back one by one.
Ding! Your subordinate Spartak loyalty + 2!
The old patriarch also looked moved.
For a long time, he stroked his chest with one hand and his head hung slightly. He slowly walked towards Nie Yun with the highest etiquette of the Ryan family
Ding
Looking at the back of the two people leaving, Nie yunnao made up a system prompt sound, which opened his communicator with a smile.
Those who dare to rob me, it's time for you to see what "Fishing law enforcement" is.
It was too familiar to start before. Now there is no psychological burden
