Chapter 55: 038 Empire’s Lecture【Vote for me, save me!】

Lina watched the images appearing on the projection screen with an expressionless face.

It was a captured image from a corner of the planetary surface battle zone.

That beam which had come from the sky had its energy level reduced by the atmosphere initially, but when the energy beam reached the surface and established a transport channel, the subsequent energy transmitted had almost no damage.

The figure had been vaporized.

Destroyed by a high-energy ion beam.

Destroyed…

...

Lina’s ears rang slightly.

The moment she witnessed Hanton being vaporized, she couldn’t hear anything else, only the constant ringing in her ears.

“Chief… Chief!”

The young Intelligence Officer snapped Lina out of it.

“Speak.”

“Target One confirmed killed by the main cannon of a pirate ship! The news we just got is a bit chaotic, the pirates exploded into conflict over treasure buried by Kolev, Target One got involved, and seems to have killed Kimo, the current leader of the Black Dragon Pirate Group, and in retaliation, the pirate group attacked Target One with the main cannon… just now.”

Lina stepped back half a step, raised her hand to steady herself on the safety rail beside her, her complexion pale and devoid of color.

“Chief? You need to rest.”

Lina suddenly said, “Biosensors! Use biosensors to gather information from there!”

“The biosensors are not responding, the pirate ship’s main cannon’s energy destroyed everything.”

“Chief, according to records we stole from the rival pirate ship, Target One indeed provoked this group of pirates.”

“Moreover, Chief… we captured a faint signal from a tracking device… It seems to be residues of a tracking device within Target One’s body that wasn’t metabolized, our exclusively developed product, which sent out a weak signal before he was destroyed…”

About half a minute of silence filled the inside of the battleship.

“They destroyed Hanton, they destroyed Hanton… my more than a year’s effort ruined,” Lina murmured, “take them down.”

The Captain asked, “Chief, who are our targets?”

“The pirates! Attack these damn pirates!”

Lina’s expression was somewhat out of control, with a pale face flushed slightly red, her slim body trembling continuously.

“Don’t let them escape! Break their protective shields! Turn them into cosmic dust now, this instant! Even if we only take a share of the merit for exterminating pirates, it’s not like these past three months have been in vain!”

The Captain shrugged slightly: “You’ve made the smartest decision of these past three months.”

Next, the Captain’s voice became loud, precise, and filled with virile power.

“Charge all cannons! Charge protective shields to twenty percent! Prioritize targeting the flagship!”

“Release electronic interference! Make these makeshift pirate ships obediently stay put!”

“Fire at will!” @@novelbin@@

The entire ship was activated almost instantly, the bridge became bustling, and outside the viewport, more than ten laser beams had appeared.

These beams were just to deplete the energy of the opposing protective shields.

The battleship’s main cannon charged.

The battleship’s full firepower was preheating!

Within a Stealth Boat that had just entered the high-altitude clouds, Yang Ming watched the flickering projection screen in front of him, exchanging glances with Kolev.

Before he could say anything, his attention was drawn by the beams appearing outside the atmosphere.

A dozen laser beams hit the two most powerful pirate ships simultaneously.

“Hey!” Kolev exclaimed with wide eyes, “They’re attacking my ships! Oh! Damn it! Why aren’t the rest of the bastards running yet?”

“It must be the electronic interference,” Yang Ming reminded, “the battleship is too close to them.”

As soon as they finished speaking, a pirate ship’s protective shield had been broken.

However, that battleship had just completed an energy adjustment.

The curved armor on the front half of the battleship became pitted, and a hundred-meter caliber cannon, filled with a strong magnetic field, rapidly extended from the middle of the ship’s face, lighting up section by section.

Around this cannon, a ring of slightly smaller caliber cannons also advanced synchronously, representing the main and auxiliary cannons of the Dawn-level battleship.

Charged to thirty percent.

The minimum standard for gunfire.

The main and auxiliary cannons simultaneously fired dazzling particle beams, like streaks of azure lightning, illuminating the outer sky of the planet.

“Not like this! Oh, no! My ship!”

Kolev screamed, trembling all over.

That three hundred meter-class pirate flagship was almost instantly penetrated by the blue beams!

Seconds later, a violent explosion spread from the focal point outward, the pirate ship violently disintegrating, its hull being blasted apart by a fusion reaction triggered at the hit area, with no human figures visible in the explosion.

Kolev covered his eyes in despair.

Yang Ming said, “The Guel Alliance is practically urging you to retire through their actions.”

The Stealth Boat, under the cover of the clouds, raced toward the horizon.

Kolev kept muttering, his old eyes gradually becoming vacant; on the projection screen in front of him, a battleship was besieging several pirate ships.

“It’s a massacre! A massacre launched by the Guel Alliance!

“Oh, my ships, my life’s work, although they were all very old, I earned several times their value, but… oh, what can I leave for Mimili? She so wants to become a successful pirate like me, freely traversing the vast Milky Way.

“Oh! Heavens, your little lover is really too vicious!”

Yang Ming could only offer a sympathetic smile.

However, they didn’t allow the Stealth Boat to stop.

Feinan was not equipped with stealth capabilities; they needed to use this small boat to quickly escape Olhaif. Whether they could evade the battleship’s radar by using the planet became key to their escape.
