Meteorite City, villa area.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" the flying armor passing at low altitude sent out a series of harsh whistling, shaking the glass.
"Dad, I'm afraid!" a little girl of three or four years old mumbled holding her father's thigh.
"Not afraid!" the middle-aged man picked up the little girl and looked at the meteors and all kinds of aircraft passing through the sky through the French window.
Meteorite city is a very prosperous commercial city on the third planet subcontinent of Brolli.
It is said that a meteorite fell thousands of years ago and formed a huge crater here. Unexpectedly, it was lucky to smash the energy crystal mine buried deep in the ground, triggering the gold rush and enriching the city for hundreds of years.
Now, although the minerals have been mined out, the foundation is still there. It is still one of the most prosperous cities on the planet, but it has also been hit by disasters this time.
"Antonio! What shall we do?" the beautiful wife leaned over and hugged her husband, with some fear on her face.
"It's okay, it's okay! The target of the pirates should be the port, wharf and material warehouse. We are safe here. If those pirates don't want to annoy the Empire, they won't kill." Antonio comforted, but the sadness on his face didn't abate at all.
He runs a large interstellar transportation company in meteorite city. Although he is inferior to the top dignitaries who get the news of evacuation in advance, he also has small assets.
After struggling for half a life, I finally bought real estate in this rich villa area, married a beautiful wife and had a sweet little cotton padded jacket.
I thought my life was about to enter the fast lane. Unexpectedly, his company was robbed of several transport ships and lost a lot of money to its customers in the last pirate disaster.
The pirates blocked the airport, even he himself was blocked on the planet, and the life safety of the whole family was threatened.
"Da Da!" "bang!"
Just then, a fierce exchange of fire suddenly sounded in the distance, and the light of explosion came from afar.
Anthony became nervous at Orton.
The villa area has a high terrain and a wide field of vision. When they look at the location of the exchange of fire, they find that two mecha belonging to the guard team of the Locke consortium are chasing and killing several pirate intruders, which seems to have taken the absolute advantage.
There are a lot of pirates, but they are all light individual power armours. They are not comparable with this kind of marine aircraft armour. They are beaten and scurry.
However, before the ordinary citizens who saw this scene cheered, they saw two thick red beams shooting from the sky, and the strong light pierced the clouds in an instant!
"Boom! Boom!" the two explosions vaporized the two heroes who bravely resisted in the eyes of the citizens.
This heartless scene suddenly extinguished the rebellious psychology of many people.
Although the airborne pirates do not carry any heavy weapons, the role of the Marine Corps is a tool man and locator for the pirates who have completely mastered the air control.
But just call the naval gun directly. It's simple and rough!
Every pirate marine's tactical helmet has built-in optical positioning device. All enemies in the field of vision are likely to suffer ruthless attacks from the high-altitude orbit of the planet at any time.
War situations such as ten thousand person machine armor war, tank war and Star Wars basically only exist in science fiction films. In reality, the party in control of the orbit has occupied an absolute advantage. There is no need to drop a large amount of machine armor heavy firepower to compete with the other party on the surface of the planet.
"This is the broken star pirate alliance. Please give up resistance and don't make unnecessary sacrifices. We only ask for money, don't hurt people, don't kill people, civilized robbery, start with you and me!"
Antonio and his wife looked at each other.
This warning of persuading to surrender... Why does it sound a little funny?
The voice in the city radio rang through most of the city and kept repeating.
Obviously, the city hall has been occupied by pirates.
"Husband, this is a rich area. We will be robbed by the pirates. Otherwise, let's take our daughter out of here first?"
Antonio hesitated for a moment, but gently shook his head. "Now people outside are in panic, public security is invalid, and mobs are everywhere. It's not necessarily safer than here."
"Ding Dong!" just then, the indoor doorbell rang.
The scene outside the door automatically appeared on the electronic screen, but it startled them.
"Sea... Pirates!" exclaimed his wife.
Outside the door were two heavily armed pirates.
"How... How to do?" the wife hugged her daughter and looked flustered.
"Don't panic! Don't panic!" Antonio cried in a cold sweat on his forehead.
After touching the energy pistol at his waist, he felt a little at ease, but look at the two pirates armed to the teeth outside. The courage just mentioned dissipated immediately.
Compared with the other party's armor defense, this on his waist can only be regarded as a laser pen. Can it be used to shake the other party's eyes?
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong ~" the pirates outside the door seemed impatient and rang the doorbell for a long time.
One of the pirates seemed to be angry and was about to smash the door with a gun, but was stopped by another pirate.
"I'll open the door! You hide in the wardrobe first!" Antonio gritted his teeth.
"Don't! It's too dangerous!"
"Don't worry, according to what they said, they shouldn't kill casually. Besides, have you ever seen pirates who rob and ring the doorbell?" Antonio forced himself to calm down and comforted.
I can't go out now. Who knows what will happen if I annoy the other party.
"Creak ~" the door opened and Antonio put his head out carefully.
"You two, this is all the money in the family. Please invite the two brothers to tea." Antonio took out a bag of energy crystals and jingled.
"Hey! You're smart!" the pirate who just wanted to smash the door had a bright eye and habitually had to reach out to pick it up.
"Cough!" another slightly older pirate with a scar on his face coughed, which made the outstretched hand freeze in the air, and finally took it back.
"Antonio, right?" the pirate looked at the terminal connected to the city hall database and called out Antonio's information.
"The owner of Bassanio interstellar transportation company, the remaining current assets under his name are 3.76 million imperial credit points, in which should be your wife and children. Should I be right?" he also showed a friendly smile while talking.
Of course, cooperating with the ferocious scar on the other party's face and falling in Antonio's eyes is tantamount to "devil's smile".
"You... You..." Antonio clenched his fist in horror.
How did the other party find out? What the hell do they want? Threaten me with my wife and children?
"Hey! There's a life detector. Do you really think you can hide it?" another pirate knocked on his tactical helmet.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. According to the stepped rate table of protection fee formulated by Lord pirate, those with assets less than 5000 are exempted from protection fee.
Those with assets of more than one million but less than 5 million need to pay 10% of the protection fee, and the elderly, weak women and children can be exempted. Therefore, we need to charge 376000 protection fee this time. Is it cash or transfer? "
"Er..."
Even with Antonio's many years of experience, he was stunned for a long time.
However, the other party had no intention to threaten himself with his wife and children, which reassured Antonio a lot.
"Cash?" Antonio doubtfully handed the bag of hard currency in his hand.
This loss, although a little painful for him, is undoubtedly much better than the worst.
The pirate grabbed a handful of energy crystal, looked at the weight display on the helmet, picked out two pieces and threw them back into the bag.
"Thanks for your patronage!" the pirate pulled the corners of his mouth and showed an ugly smile again.
"Oh, yes! This is the 'escort plan' leaflet just launched by our broken star pirate alliance. As long as you pay a certain escort fee regularly, your company can have unimpeded access to the land boundary around our broken star domain. Absolutely no pirate dares to make your idea.
Recently, it's just in the promotion period. If there are monthly packages, there are still discounts. President an can consider it. "
He took the bags and leaflets handed back by the other party with a confused face. Antonio was still a little dizzy until the two pirates went away.
I looked at the money bag on my left hand and the leaflet on my right hand.
The pirates took the wrong medicine?
Is there any reason to pay back the money sent to you? Are you sure it's not a salesperson from Amway?
Ring the doorbell again, and what is the stepped rate table of protection fees. There are still preferential treatment for the old, the weak, women and children. Is this still a ferocious pirate?
This is a clear stream in the pirate world!
