Chapter 150

A philosopher once said that the sky was always calm before a storm.

After all the Interstellar Pirates' spaceships were destroyed by the Army, the Army enjoyed two days and two nights of peace. However, these two days were the two days that many members of the military headquarters were most worried about. No one dared to touch even a drop of alcohol. They were afraid that a surprise attack like the last time would happen again.

All news of the Interstellar Pirates seemed to have been annihilated along with the wreckage of the spaceships. There was no feedback at all.

Even Sharp and Emily could clearly feel the strange sense of oppression and tension. They knew that the Interstellar Pirates would definitely make a move, but they did not know how they would do it. Therefore, the Army was constantly on edge.

The Interstellar Pirates returned to Bartow City without a sound. With Neptune's help, no one's information was leaked. They lay in wait patiently, waiting for news from Gu Ding.

Not far from Great Divinity, the first mercenary spaceship finally arrived.

The three interceptors quickly noticed the spaceship. They had already received news from the Army that Gu Ding had hired mercenaries, so they were extra vigilant. However, they could not simply shoot at spaceships other than the Interstellar Pirates. It was not impossible for the other party's spaceship to pass by.

"The Army is on a mission. Please leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will expel you by force," the three interceptors shouted at the Silver Hawk at the same time.

"Hey, we're just passing by. Don't fire, we'll go around!" A rough man's voice came from the Silver Hawk. It seemed to be their captain.

"Boss, your acting skills have improved again," the pilot said leisurely to the bearded captain.

"Hehe, we're the first ones here. We'll get rid of one!" The bearded captain was excited.

"That spaceship is just passing by …" The three interceptors were relieved when they saw that the Silver Hawk had turned around. Suddenly, one of the interceptors was attacked.

They noticed that the Silver Hawk had two gun turrets installed on the spaceship's rear. When the spaceship turned around, the two gun turrets were aimed in the direction of the interceptors.

"Damn, these mercenaries are crazy! There was no warning before the cannons were fired. They didn't even activate the energy shields and fired directly. They were clearly trying to make us lower our guard. "

The other two Interceptors immediately aimed at the Silver Hawk to counterattack, but the Silver Hawk's shield had already been raised, and it quickly dodged.

Assault ships were far more agile than interceptors, which was why there were always several interceptors in a group every time they appeared.

"The skin of the Baby Dragon is really thick." The young pilot also noticed that although the previous shot had hit one of the Baby Dragons, the attack was blocked by the energy shield of the Baby Dragons and did not cause any damage to the spaceship. However, they had come with a plan this time. Their cannons had been modified to a certain extent. Several cannons had the effect of electromagnetic interference, which could paralyze the spaceship that was hit for a short period of time. Even communication would be disrupted.

Under the artillery fire of the two interceptors, the Silver Eagle kept dodging and looking for opportunities to counterattack, but several attacks were intercepted by the military interceptors with even more intense artillery fire.

"Boss, it's a little tricky this time. The pilots of those interceptors are no weaker than me. Also, the one that was hit just now will be able to move soon, "the pilot said bitterly after a round of fighting.

"Retreat! We'll come again when the next spaceship appears! "Big Beard decisively ordered a retreat.

At that moment, the radar's detection range showed that a spaceship was approaching quickly from not far away. It was a Grey-faced Buzzard.

"Boss, someone's coming. I think they're also mercenaries. They're piloting a Grey-faced Buzzard."

"Fly toward them and pull them into the battle." Big Beard waved his hand. "It's not that easy to steal from under our noses."

Ravel, who was in the Grey-faced Buzzard, was a little excited. They had rushed here at full speed, and the journey had been unprecedentedly smooth. He vaguely felt that this mission would be a success.

As soon as they approached Great Divinity, they saw two parties fighting.

The one that was surrounded by two Baby Dragons was a Silver Hawk. When he saw the logo on the Silver Hawk, Ravel knew who the spaceship belonged to. "It's Big Beard. Let's go around them."

"Boss, they're coming for us." The pilot was a little nervous.

"F * ck, Big Beard is really evil. He's obviously using us as scapegoats," Ravel cursed, feeling a little depressed. "Then let's not retreat. Concentrate all our firepower and attack … Eh, why isn't that spaceship moving? Let's concentrate our firepower and destroy the spaceship that's not moving! "

"Alright …" The pilot was a little timid after receiving the order. He shifted the spaceship slightly and poured all his firepower toward the motionless Baby Dragon.

The Baby Dragon, which had not returned to normal due to the electromagnetic interference, was suddenly attacked again. Its energy shield dropped from its original 70% to 0% in a few seconds. Then, it was completely submerged by the Grey-faced Buzzard's firepower and exploded into pieces.

"Motherf * cker, I can't believe we let this kid take advantage of us!" Big Beard was furious. He did not expect the other party to react immediately when he wanted to pull them into the battle. Not only did the other party not escape, but they also attacked the half-paralyzed Baby Dragon.

"Boss, should we destroy this Grey-faced Buzzard?" The pilot could not help but ask.

"Making money is more important. Don't worry about him!" Big Beard immediately made a decision.

After the Grey-faced Buzzard destroyed a Baby Dragon, it immediately attracted the attack of an interceptor. The pressure on Big Beard's Silver Hawk was greatly reduced.

"He attracted some firepower. Not bad. Let's fight back!" Big Beard gave a new order.

"Boss, we did it!" On the Grey-faced Buzzard, everyone did not expect to destroy a Baby Dragon interceptor so easily.

"Retreat from the battle. Let's get out of here." Ravel suddenly gave a strange order.

"But boss, we still have a chance. We still have two Baby Dragons." The others did not quite agree.

"Do you think it'll end well to snatch food from Big Beard's mouth? If we continue to stay here, even if we're not killed by the two Baby Dragons, we'll be killed by Big Beard. "Ravel was very clear about the current situation." Hurry up, retreat from the battle. The further, the better! "

The pilot turned the spaceship around reluctantly and fled into the distance. Not long after, it disappeared from the Silver Hawk's radar.

"That Grey-faced Buzzard ran away?!" Big Beard did not expect the other party to make such a move. His Silver Hawk was once again attacked by two Baby Dragons. He decisively gave the order to retreat. "Retreat first. Wait for the other spaceships to come closer."

The Silver Hawk turned around and sped away.

However, the pilots on the two Baby Dragons knew that it was not the end. This was just the beginning.

Sure enough, within half an hour, two Grey-faced Buzzards appeared almost at the same time and launched a fierce attack on the two interceptors.

Big Beard's Silver Hawk had also detected what was happening. He quickly joined the battle and bombarded one of the Baby Dragons from the side. The electromagnetic interference effect was activated once again. The energy shield around the Baby Dragon was instantly reduced to zero, and a dazzling flame blossomed in the starry sky.

Following that, the three assault spaceships aimed their cannons at the same Baby Dragon. A crazy barrage of cannons flooded the Baby Dragon in an instant.

At this time, the sky on Great Divinity was just beginning to brighten.

Gu Ding suddenly received a message from his wristwatch.

"Gu Ding, the Mercenary Alliance has sent a message saying that the three interceptors have been destroyed. They've sent the video over. The video has been verified by their officials and there are no problems. I've also checked and there are no signs of tampering, "Neptune said as he projected the video.

There were a total of three videos. Gu Ding spent a few minutes watching them and nodded. "Inform the others that the three Baby Dragons have been destroyed. Send them the video as well. Tell them to meet at the tavern not far from the port. "

Neptune quickly sent the video and the message.

Many of the Interstellar Pirates were excited when they saw the video of the three Baby Dragons being destroyed. This meant that they would be free as long as they successfully seized the spaceships.

The news of the Baby Dragons being destroyed quickly spread to the Army.

Howell's face did not change much when he saw the video. Ever since Gu Ding issued the commission, he knew that the destruction of the three Baby Dragons was inevitable. It was only a matter of time. Sometimes, mercenaries were crazier than Interstellar Pirates. He immediately got someone to find out who the four assault spaceships belonged to and offered a new bounty for the four mercenary corps.

Howell was not in the mood to deal with this matter. He was worried about something else. On the night Gu Ding issued the commission, he received a report from Sharp requesting for reinforcements.

The report described everything that had happened on Great Divinity in detail, including the deaths of nearly four thousand members of the Army. He even put all the blame on himself. He said that it was because he did not care about the bigger picture and insisted on challenging Biggie. Moreover, Sharp made it clear that he would resign from his position as a general in the Army because of this incident.

Howell had some doubts about some of the words in Sharp's report. He had a feeling that Sharp had taken all the blame for this incident in order to resign. The last thing Howell wanted to see was Sharp's resignation. This was because he had been grooming Sharp to be the next marshal of the Army. Sharp was also the strongest and most responsible among the four generals. He was also the most experienced and the best candidate to be the next marshal.

As a marshal, he could see further than anyone else in the Army. Although the outcome of the war was important, how to maintain the long-term prosperity of the entire military headquarters was the problem that he needed to prioritize. He could compromise on many other things when it came to this priority.

He knew that he could help Sharp deal with the negative impact of this incident if he put in some effort. However, the problem now was that according to Sharp's words in the report, his resignation was already a done deal. This was the biggest headache for Howell.

He rubbed his head and said to the communications officer, "Send these videos to Sharp. You don't have to say anything. He knows what to do."
