Chapter 1023 Pirates Again

The blind level of personal worship is a true reflection of the worship of Grandpa Alyssa by the Whirlwater Federation. They have revised textbooks several times for this purpose, and even have a special subject to study Grandpa Alyssa.

Banning nodded upon hearing this:

"No problem, I will ask my friends. If that starship appears on the battlefield, it will be a big blow to our morale."

It is definitely a blow for one's hero to run to the opposite side of oneself.

But Alyssa was a little surprised and said:

"Banning, are you not in the military?"

After leaving the starship adventure, Banning returned to the Whirlwater Federation. Due to his outstanding ability and his adventure experience with Mr. James, he was promoted as fast as a rocket. He once served as the commander of the Third Fleet of the Whirlwater Federation.

He said that asking friends instead of asking subordinates means that there will be personnel changes.

"After all, I'm not young anymore."

Banning pointed to the toad-like bumps on his neck:

"Look, my bumps are all white, but they used to be bright red."

It's really hard to tell the age of a Slaad...

"I retired some time ago, and the higher-ups thought it was a waste for me to lie at home, so they asked me to be a diplomat."

Alyssa immediately realized something was wrong when she heard it.

"Wait, you're a diplomat... So, are you planning to negotiate with the Red Maple Republic?"

The space station where everyone is is a neutral space station, not belonging to the Swirl Water Federation, and this galaxy is also a neutral galaxy, equivalent to a buffer zone between the two countries.

Setting up a diplomat here means that we're going to Switzerland to negotiate together.

"After all, it's just border friction for the time being, and it hasn't escalated into a full-scale war. Both sides are still willing to resolve their differences through negotiations."

Two fleets, thousands of warships joined together, fighting until their brains came out.

Such a lively situation, in front of two huge interstellar countries, is really just a border friction, not even a special sergeant operation.

Speaking of war, Alyssa asked:

"I remember there weren't many disputed star regions. Haven't they been settled for so long?"

"This is actually a bit strange."

Banning said:

"We had signed a peace agreement with the Red Maple Empire, but 20 years ago, the empire began to have civil unrest, and some of us thought we could take the opportunity to annex it, so we..."

I understand, they are getting more and more greedy.

"But after the establishment of the Red Maple Republic, we returned the extra parts, and at this time, the Red Maple Republic began to gradually tear up the agreement. At first, we knew we were in the wrong, so we didn't take any action, but just said a few words in diplomacy. In recent years, the friction has become more and more serious, and the situation has escalated little by little. Now it has evolved into a situation where fleets are sent to fight."

The Swirlwater Federation was indeed wrong, taking advantage of others' misfortune. But then the Red Maple Republic began to take the initiative to provoke disputes, and that was another matter.

Alyssa didn't know much about the situation of the Red Maple Republic, but she could see the problem.

An empire was fine, with no resentment from the heavens or people, and no revolution, but it suddenly became a republic.

There is no mortal hatred between the two countries. It is just a problem of resource galaxy development. It can be solved through negotiation. It is not necessary to pull out the fleet.

The Red Maple Republic's initiative to provoke friction is very worrying.

Alyssa thought for a while:

"I may have brought good news about the Red Maple Republic."

"What?"

Then, Alyssa told Banning about the royalists.

"Are you sure it's true?"

"Of course, we got the princess out by ourselves."

This news is just a topic of conversation for ordinary people, but it is very important information for the Rotating Water Federation.

The Red Maple Republic has shown very obvious hostility. Even if this friction can be resolved by negotiation, it is hard to guarantee whether the conflict will continue to escalate in the future.

But if the royalists of the former Red Maple Empire can be contacted and asked to overthrow the Republic, the situation will be different.

This matter is not something that Banning, a diplomat, can decide. It still needs careful research.

"Alyssa, you are indeed our hero. You brought very critical information."

Alyssa was about to say a few polite words, when the table full of delicious food suddenly shook.

It was like an earthquake, but only for a moment.

"Maybe there's something wrong with the attitude control of the space station, don't worry about it."

Banning tried to save his dignity, but just as he finished speaking, the violent vibration came again, this time with a higher frequency.

Space stations usually float around celestial bodies in a fixed orbit, but for various reasons, the orbit will not remain unchanged. When an orbital deviation is found, the attitude control engine of the space station will be activated to correct it again. At this time, there will indeed be a shaking similar to an earthquake.

But such a violent shaking is not normal.

The violent shaking comparable to an earthquake lasted for more than ten seconds, and then it calmed down. Banning immediately said to the maid next to him:

"Hurry up and bring me my communicator. I need to ask what happened."

The maid bowed and took the order. Before she walked out of the house, everyone heard the humming alarm from outside, the lighting in the space station was turned off, and a large number of red warning lights appeared, reminding everyone to go to the nearest escape pod or bunker immediately.

This is not as simple as re-adjusting the attitude.

The maid almost ran back, holding a "mobile phone" that looked like a small pillow in her hand.

Banning grabbed the phone and quickly dialed it. I don't know who he called, but from the expression on his face, he was quite shocked.

"What did you say? Pirates? Impossible, how did they break through the patrol outside the galaxy?"

As if echoing Banning's words, accompanied by violent vibrations, there was also a very terrible loud noise like metal being torn, which should be outside.

Everyone left their seats and leaned on the window to look out.

A fading beam of light appeared above their heads, piercing through the outer armor of the space station and melting through a very large hole.

The air escaped from this hole, and a terrible gust of wind rolled up in the space station. Lighter objects would be sucked in at the first time, even including people and vehicles.

However, the corresponding mechanism of the space station was still in place. In a few seconds, the huge armor plate was put down to block the big hole that was opened. At the same time, a large piece of something like a fire bubble covered the area near the hole to block the leaking gas.

"I know. Good luck to you."

Banning put down the communicator and said to the people lying by the window:

"We need to evacuate immediately. It's no longer safe here. A group of pirates suddenly appeared and attacked."

Pirates again. Why are there these guys everywhere?

But speaking of it, the behavior of pirates seems strange.

Fang Lanyin's hometown, Alan Starlink, has also been attacked by pirates, and just like this time, they were already at the doorstep when they found out.

It's not clear if there is any connection between these series of events.
