Chapter 405, Tall Pirate Team

Chapter 405, Tall Pirate Team

The combined armies of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory achieved their war goals, but that did not mean the war was over.

War can be started at will, but it cannot be ended at will.

How could the greenskins suffer such a loss and just accept it like this?

In the two star systems of Water Mist Star and Yinguan 2, the war continues. The greenskins have been attacking for two years, trying to take back these two planets, and then attack Yinguan 3 and Baiwu Star behind these two galaxies.

The human army gritted its teeth and endured for two years, and finally drove the greenskins back.

To this day, sporadic small-scale wars continue. The large-scale battle is over, otherwise, the Pegasus fleet would not be able to come back.

According to the plan, the Pegasus fleet will come back to rest for at least five years. People need to rest, and at the same time, the ship needs to be repaired.

The Pegasus fleet that attacked was led by five cruisers, and the total number of battleships totaled over a hundred. After fighting for six years, one cruiser was destroyed, and more than twenty other ships were lost. The rest could only be repaired on the battlefield, and overall they were tired to a certain extent.

It is estimated that after returning, it may not be possible to repair all the ships in five years. By then, Feiyingxing's shipyard will probably have to reduce production, and many shipyards will have to be freed up to specialize in ship repairs. The money needed to repair the ship alone would probably exceed 20 billion.

All relevant orders have been sent.

Of course, the cost of repairing the ship is paid by the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Imperial Navy, and it must be used as a tax deduction, which is 2 billion a year.

As for the war to continue, it is probably inevitable that the two of them will be separated again in a few years. Even if they reach the status of Gu Hang and Ye Lixia, they often can't help themselves - even more so.

Gu Hang and Ye Lixia also talked several times during this period, and they planned to get married when they came back.

But at least I can live a stable life for a few years, Gu Hang can only tell himself this.

Pirates are very annoying. They appear and disappear in the sea of ​​​​stars. They can't cause any major problems, but they harass everywhere. They rob a small ship today and run around with the navy the next. It's very disgusting.

While the welcoming ceremony was being arranged on the Flying Wing Star, a military operation currently being carried out by the alliance also came to fruition.

After the routes within the Pegasus sector became prosperous, pirates were attracted.

Originally, in order to solve the problem of political marriage, before Ye Lixia left, Gu Hang worked hard to close the relationship between the two. This separation lasted for six years. It was hard to say how much of the feeling I had managed to cultivate before was left.

In the physical universe, the speed of navigation does not affect the transition time. These twelve astral tunnel shuttles can't be reduced by more than ten days, but the intervening time of traveling in space can be compressed to twenty-five days. About days. The entire voyage only took a little over a month.

Calculating the time, Yelicia should have already set off.

It all feels strange.

But that's all, this marriage will still go ahead no matter what, no matter what the emotional basis of the two is.

In other words, Gu Hang will be able to see his fiancée in another month.

Excluding those powerful pirate alliances that are difficult to eliminate, ordinary pirate groups are just scum in front of the empire officials. As long as they can find their lair, it is easy to eliminate them.

……

And as long as this information is grasped, that is often when the pirate group is destroyed.

But the problem is, you have to find your nest.

Coming back, we have to travel through the astral tunnels twelve times. Generally speaking, the one-way time from one galaxy to another, at the speed of an average fleet, is about five to eight days. Among them, the time to travel through the star tunnel is not long, usually just one day, mainly because it takes a long time to drive the ship from the star port to the jump point in the vast void.

In terms of income, it’s not really a loss. At least there are still a few empty docks where we can build other ships.

However, on long journeys, this problem can be greatly overcome. The main reason is that if you don't stop along the way, the starship will always be in a state of acceleration. It will fly from one jump point to another without slowing down. It will start the jump directly when it arrives, and continue to accelerate to the next jump point. The speed of the entire fleet will become faster and faster.

Where the pirates' base is, where the ships come from, where the manpower comes from... it's all a mystery to the officials.

The pirate group that haunts the Pegasus region, called the 'Red-Eye Pirate Group', has been suffering from cholera for more than a year.

The damage they caused was neither big nor small.

To say it's not big means that it won't hurt the alliance at all.

It's not a big deal. Losing a ship, even a small ship like the Traveler, costs millions of tax coins.

Not to mention, there is a ship departing from Korokga, carrying more than 800 young students appointed by the local government of Korokja, heading to the Flying Wing Star. The young students who are going to study to change their destiny are all members of the ship. captured.

This is undoubtedly a blatant provocation to the alliance.

Gu Hang could not tolerate such things happening in his own star sector.

The pirates communicated their ransom demands to Gu Hang through secret channels, and the amount they demanded was ridiculously high. But they underestimated Gu Hang's determination and the strength of the alliance. No matter how much money these pirates wanted, even if it was just a dime, Gu Hang never planned to pay.

He knew that once he surrendered, it would mean setting a precedent, and the pirates would take advantage of the situation and become even more aggressive. By then, knowing that the alliance is weak and easy to bully, and that you can make a lot of money by coming here, there may be more than one "red-eyed pirate group" coming to the Tianma star area to fight the autumn wind, and maybe all the colorful eyes will appear.

He must give a tough response to let all potential pirates know that challenging the alliance is asking for death.

Gu Hang refused the ransom request without hesitation, even if it meant the death of hundreds of people.

At the same time, he also issued orders to Du Shiliang of the newly established Alliance Navy and Pegasus Fleet, asking them to resolve the trouble as soon as possible to prevent such things from happening.

This is not easy, mainly because pirates are hard to find.

All they can do is some stupid methods.

Reduce the frequency of flights, gather a group of ships, and then go together, with the Alliance Navy escorting them by the way.

The method is effective, but the key is still disgusting. The efficiency of Xinghai Shipping has been greatly reduced, and escort also consumes the cost of the navy. Fuel money and ship depreciation are all additional losses.

Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to guard against thieves? The goal of the Alliance Navy and the Imperial Navy is to eliminate this group of pirates as soon as possible.

In repelling several pirate harassments, the alliance's fast ships played a role at this time.

Thanks to the alliance's technological accumulation in advanced engines, when designing ships, it has the luxury of equipping almost all types of ships with excellent engines.

In fact, the number of spiritual engines used for regular navigation on normal ships is not particularly large. Like ordinary patrol ships, they don't even know how to install it. It is a bit expensive. The main reason is that it consumes high-grade energy such as energy crystals, which is very costly. For low-level ships, this is a bit wasteful.

But the league isn't afraid of waste.

Raging Owl has a lot of energy production. Currently, Angry Star already has a lot of experience in collecting and utilizing energy from waste energy storms. Energy compression technology also comes from black box output. After years of expansion, it now has quite good output.

Especially after the population becomes abundant, the other two uninhabited continents on the angry owl are currently in the process of development. The planetary government has established large-scale energy collection plants on those two continents.

Moreover, the alliance's technical center, together with people from the Storm Mage Group and the Psychic Order, are already studying how to completely quell the energy-disabled storm on a global scale. Once this project is conquered, the Linghua Gas Field is expected to reappear on Nu Xiaoxing. By then, Nu Xiao Starlight's energy production may reach a development level of around level 4 or 5. Coupled with stronger industrial productivity and shipbuilding than in the pre-war era, the development potential of the entire planet is greater than any other world in the Pegasus Sector!

Even now, the energy of the waste energy storm can only be roughly collected, which is incomparable with the efficiency of the Linghua Gas Field back then. But it can still reach 20%, which is a good output.

Thanks to the convenience of high-grade energy and the fact that the price of Linghua engines produced by black boxes can be reduced a lot, Alliance ships are able to assemble such engine sets on a large scale. Especially the two fast ships, 'Silver Sword' and 'Black Fish', can't escape if they bite the pirates.

Generally speaking, pirate ships, because of their combat characteristics, generally do not choose to attack head-on, but pursue an unequal strike. As long as it can defeat transport ships and armed merchant ships, the rest is all about speed.

However, they still couldn't escape under the Alliance Navy ships.

After several annihilation battles, the Red-Eyed Pirates were exhausted, their frequency of appearance was greatly reduced, and they never succeeded again.

For ordinary star regions, solving the piracy problem to this extent is almost over. Even most places where pirates are active cannot achieve this level.

But the league obviously won't let it go.

The Alliance Navy will not give up until these red-eyed pirates are completely exterminated.

Through the torture of the prisoners, the psychic brain search, and the fact that the Astropathic Hall of the Psychic Order intercepted the astrological calls in the entire sector and intercepted a few words about the pirates, they have finally figured out this. The heel of a group of pirates.

They established a hidden base on a satellite near a gas giant planet in the Red Arrow Galaxy. There are some supplies needed for pirate ships stored there, and thousands of slaves work there, responsible for repairing ships, processing some parts from local materials, and setting up a small underground plantation.

Of course, the satellites of that giant planet have not undergone any livable modifications, and humans cannot survive in them normally. Those slaves can only survive inside the base, and must wear corresponding space suits when going out.

Over a thousand Alliance prisoners were also imprisoned there.

After mastering this information, the Pegasus Fleet sent some forces to raid there together with the Alliance Navy.

Nine pirate ships were destroyed, the pirate base was also destroyed, and thousands of slaves and alliance hostages were more or less damaged, but most of them were rescued.

However, beneath the news of victory, there were losses.

A 'Blackfish' fast patrol ship in the Alliance Navy was lost.

It was not lost in a naval battle. With its absolute power, no matter how weak the Alliance Navy was, it would not fall off the ship. However, after all the pirate ships were eliminated and the resistance on the island base was lifted, the Marines landed on the satellite surface. While liberating the slaves and hostages, they were violently attacked by a strange enemy team.

In the ground battle, human losses were severe. And this strange enemy team in turn occupied a landing ship and sailed into the sky.

Caught off guard, the landing ship showed very flexible driving skills, bypassing the fire net that was hesitant to fire, and smashed into a Blackfish patrol ship. Immediately afterwards, the pirate team hijacked the 'Blackfish' and escaped capture.

When he first saw this battle process, Gu Hang was a little shocked.

There were basically no surprises during the entire battle, and the Alliance Navy's performance was in line with expectations, even considered excellent for a newly established army.

But this first show was messed up by the so-called pirate team.

The ability shown by that team was too strong.

Before the operation, the alliance military had considered the possibility of ground combat. After all, if the personnel had to be dealt with, they could not all be blown up. Therefore, at the beginning of the operation, in addition to the Marine Corps established together with the Navy, they also requested the secondment of some elite troops from the Alliance Army's 10th Special Operations Brigade.

One hundred special operations elites participated in the battle, including three teams of elites wearing 'Samurai God' feedback power armor.

Can such a team be defeated by a so-called pirate team?

What the hell kind of pirate team is this? Space Marine Pirate? !

Space Marine?

Wait a minute.

Gu Hang immediately paid attention to the description of these enemies mentioned by the battle survivors in the lower line of the battle report.

They are very tall, much taller than ordinary people. Visual estimates estimate that the average person is about two meters two. They wear heavy power armor, and they are obviously different from feedback power armor. Their power armor looks a bit tattered, with pure red paint. But the parts that should have clear markings, such as the breastplate and shoulder armor, have been scratched and painted out.

At the back, there is also a blurry photo.

The painted-out logo on the shoulder couldn't be clearly seen, but Gu Hang made some gestures and felt that there might be a soaring firebird underneath.

He thought for a moment and dialed a special number on the Raging Owl.

"Captain Martins? It's me. The alliance may need you and your warriors to provide some help."

After a pause, he added:

"It may also have something to do with the Phoenix itself."

"Anyway, you should read the report first."
