Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1401 Shock!

"Woc!"

"Where are the other warships!" But when the commander of the escort fleet looked back, where were the other three Class A warships?

Then the commander of the escort fleet carefully searched and found three Class A warships.

Because the energy engines of these three Class A warships were running at full power, and their energy shields were also fully activated.

So even though these three warships are far from the incident area, they can still be seen.

The commander and officers and soldiers of the escort fleet were completely bewildered.

The escape pod originally had communication devices, but due to the energy impact of the self-destructing warship, it is now impossible to establish effective communication in this area.

What puzzled the commander of the escort fleet was how his own Class A warship went out of control?

Why were the two B-class warships and four C-class warships in their own fleet able to withstand the energy shield and travel further and further away?

"What the hell is going on?" the commander of the escort fleet cursed, but no one listened.

However, in just half a minute, the commander of the escort fleet quickly steered the escape pods to safety.

Because hundreds of warships appeared in the distance.

Because these warships' laser cannons are firing.

Although lasers are invisible, bright spots can still be seen when a laser cannon is in operation.

These hundreds of warships belong to the four pirate crews of the Greyhound.

These warships have just emerged from behind a planet.

The Greyhound pirate crew is currently playing blind.

The energy shock generated by the self-destruction of the C-class warship caused energy disorder in this area.

These pirates' warships are now relying on coordinates provided in advance by Yang Bo.

These pirate groups only have a high hit rate in their first round of attacks.

It's not that Yang Bo couldn't pinpoint the location of these pirate warships.

On the one hand, providing the exact location later would raise suspicions.

Because the energy shock that erupts when a laser cannon hits a warship will cause the warship to shift its position.

On the other hand, it would be a pity if the two B-class warships and four C-class warships were destroyed, as it would only further bolster the pirates' strength.

After all, these pirates have taken the blame for such a huge mistake.

Yang Bo is a man of principle, so he should be given some benefits.

Fortunately, the pirates didn't have any high-level warships; otherwise, the first wave of attacks would have destroyed the escort fleet.

The pirates' strongest warships are B-class warships, but there are only two of them.

The rest are C-class and D-class warships.

The energy cannons on these warships are incapable of destroying the escort fleet's warships; they can only cause damage to the escort fleet's warships.

Of the escort fleet's two B-class warships and four C-class warships, one B-class and one C-class were hit.

This hit rate is already very high, considering the distance.

On the contrary, the flagship A-class warship was hit twice.

The pirate attack lasted for two minutes, after which the pirates stopped attacking, but their warships continued to approach the scene at high speed.

Fifteen minutes later, the Greyhound pirate crew's radar finally returned to normal.

Two minutes later, the pirate crew realized that the situation was not as they had imagined.

Not only did the pirate crew find that the situation was not as they had expected, but the escort fleet also found that it was not as they had expected.

The pirate ship spotted four Class A warships that had deviated from their course and were already at maximum speed.

Also, what's the deal with all those life pods in space?

"This?" Greyhound, the leader of a pirate crew, also witnessed the scene.

The four pirate captains were also completely bewildered.

"Pursue the escort fleet!" The four pirate captains issued the order simultaneously.

Because the two B-class warships and four C-class warships in the escort fleet are currently the slowest.

Moreover, it was closest to the pirate crew.

The remaining six warships in the escort fleet did not operate their engines at full power during those ten minutes.

Since we don't know what happened, blindly starting the engine at full power could lead to some unexpected problems.

Because these warships were originally sailing in formation.

Although the space quantum communication module can be used to contact the Ministry of Defense, neither side knows how far apart they are.

Because these warships don't know their exact coordinates right now.

If the speed is increased rashly, it could very likely lead to a collision between warships, although the possibility is very low, and it is unknown whether there are any ambushes ahead.

Therefore, the six warships maintained their original speed.

The Greyhounds were a pirate crew, and once they emerged from their hiding place, they accelerated to their maximum speed.

From the very beginning of the battle, the three A-class warships delivered by the Empire went out of control and broke away from the battlefield.

Immediately following the pirates' first attack, the escort fleet's A-class warships also went out of control and sped away from the battlefield, so these four A-class warships are now the furthest from the pirate group.

The key is that these A-class warships are now running at maximum speed, and the pirate crew simply can't catch up with them.

Therefore, the only option left for these pirate groups was to catch up with the six escort fleet warships.

Anyway, having two B-class warships and four C-class warships isn't a bad deal.

"General, what's going on?" After giving orders to their deputy commanders on the scene, the pirate captains contacted John Lee.

"Let me find out the situation first!" Yang Bo did not give an immediate answer to the pirate captains.

While waiting for John Lee's reply, the pirate captains began to discuss among themselves.

"Why are the trajectories of these Class A warships so strange?"

"These few Class A warships are not even going in the same direction."

"Could it be a plan they devised in advance?"

"That's not right either!"

"They have four Class A warships; wouldn't it be better if they were grouped together?"

Yang Bo heard the discussion among the pirate captains but said nothing.

Meanwhile, the officers and soldiers on the remaining six warships of the escort fleet were completely bewildered.

Why did the four Class A warships end up in the lead, and each of them went in a different direction?
However, the officers and soldiers on these six warships didn't have time to think about that, because the pirates were already very close, and they were moving so fast.

The Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and the President and Vice President are all now taking a deep breath.

We received information from the fleet about ten minutes ago that we had been attacked.

The commander of the A-class warship in the escort fleet only reported that he had been hit by an energy cannon.

Then we lost contact.

The other six warships can establish contact with the Ministry of Defense via space quantum communication modules.

However, these six warships did not provide any useful information because they were currently being subjected to massive energy interference.

Even the three Class A warships delivered by the Empire had no information, because these three warships also had space quantum communication modules on them.

Those ten-odd minutes were agonizing for the various departments within the alliance, as well as for the president and vice president.

After a long and difficult wait, the radars of the six warships were initially restored to normal.

The situation on the scene left these people wide-eyed.

The three Class A warships delivered by the Empire have veered off course and are disengaging at full speed. Even the Class A warships of the squadron are disengaging at full speed and have far outpaced the six warships of the escort fleet.

Behind these six warships were hundreds of pirate ships.

Moreover, these hundreds of pirate warships were simultaneously broadcasting messages on the public channel and continuously launching attacks.

"Listen up, Federation soldiers! If you abandon your warships now, we will not attack you!"

"Federal officers and soldiers, you must think this through: the warships belong to the nation, but your lives belong to yourselves."

"You have 10 minutes to consider. If you don't abandon your warships within 10 minutes, we will launch a swarm attack on you with hundreds of warships!"

"Federal soldiers, how much do you earn each month? Is it worth risking your lives?"

"If you abandon your warship within 10 minutes, we guarantee we will not attack your escape pods."

“Look at those life pods over there in the distance. We didn’t attack them at all.”

While the vice-captains of the four Greyhound pirate crews were on a mission on the battlefield, they shouted to each other while wondering what was going on with those life pods in the distance.

Finally, at this moment, the commander of the escort fleet inside the escape pod made contact with the six warships of the escort fleet.

The escape pod contains the A-class escort fleet warships, storing real-time data on when they are attacked.

Although the six warships of the escort fleet are currently fleeing frantically, it does not prevent the life pod from transmitting signals to the Ministry of Defense through the six warships.

"It's out of control. The transport warship went out of control the moment it was hit by the massive energy impact."

"We don't know what happened either."

"At the time, the warship was only broadcasting a 30-second countdown, and we didn't know exactly what was happening."

“We had no time to think, and the warship had already activated its forced escape system.”

"We were practically stuffed into the escape pods by the rescue robots." This was the first response from the transport crew aboard the three A-class warships delivered by the Empire, as they uploaded information.

"Ours is better; our flagship was hit twice and damaged."

"We also lost airspace behind us, but we don't know the exact reason," the captain of the escort fleet began to report.

Faced with this situation, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the President, and the Vice President were at a loss for words, and the escort fleet was on the verge of collapse.

"Why can't we contact any of the Class A warships right now!"

"check!!"

"Also, report this situation to the Empire!"

"These pirates scuttled a Class C warship."

"These pirates have gone completely mad." The federal president's face turned green.

They lost four Class A warships and an entire squadron in one go.

The three Class A warships delivered by the Empire were hastily assembled using spare parts from the Empire's strategic reserves.

Subsequent warship deliveries will not be as quick.

Moreover, the key issue now is that since the Class A warships are out of control, are there any safety concerns?
As for what exactly has happened, it's impossible to say.

Because these data need to be analyzed before conclusions can be drawn.

Soon, the Empire also received the relevant information.

The Empire was also completely dumbfounded, with three Class A warships simultaneously out of control!
What surprised the Empire the most was that the pirates actually used a Class C self-destructing warship to launch an attack.

Moreover, the energy intensity of the C-class suicide warship is too high.

Since the Empire's warships have never undergone energy impact tests of this intensity, it is currently uncertain whether there is a problem with the warship itself.

This worries the Empire. Although the exported Class A warships are downgraded versions and not the Empire's military versions, the systems are still compatible.

If the warship's system has some system bugs that only activate under extreme circumstances, then it is dangerous.

The Federation transmits the relevant data to the Empire, which then analyzes it, and the Empire also analyzes it.

At this moment, Yang Bo replied to the leaders of the Greyhound Pirate Crew: "I just received news that several Class A warships have gone out of control."

"The first to go out of control were the three Class A warships delivered by the Empire, and the Class A warships of the Federation escort fleet also went out of control after being hit twice."

"The reason for the loss of control is still under investigation."

Upon hearing John Lee's words, the leader of the Witch Pirates asked, "The A-class warships have all gone out of control. Is it because they've been forced to self-destruct?"

"I also think it might be due to the suicide warships, otherwise it would be impossible for four Class A warships to go out of control at the same time!"

"Do you think these warships might have a bug that only becomes apparent under these extreme circumstances?"

"That's very possible, after all, this energy impact was too strong."

"They would never have imagined that the general would resort to such a super move as self-destructing a C-class warship."

Yang Bo shook his head with a wry smile: "I didn't know it would turn out like this. We've wasted a C-class warship."

"The original plan was to have four Class A warships, one for each of your pirate crews, which would greatly increase our strength."

"The exact cause is still unclear, but the warship going out of control is likely due to its own internal issues, since neither your warship nor the B and C class warships of the Federation escort fleet went out of control!"

"But I have no choice. If we don't use such extreme methods, we have no chance at all."

Upon hearing John Lee's words, the leader of the Greyhound Pirates said, "The general's plan is fine, but their Class A warships may have a system problem!"

"General, you lost a Class C warship this time. We will compensate you with a Class B warship and two Class C warships!"

The other three pirate captains were practically cursing him in their hearts when they heard this.

Everyone wants a B-class battleship.

However, everyone owed John Lee a lot of spoils, so they couldn't object.

"I don't need the warship!"

"Even if you gave me these warships, I wouldn't be able to use them!"

"My warships are still short of personnel. In the meantime, see if you can gather information on any pirate groups within the Pirate Alliance. I'll replenish the warships then." Yang Bo didn't want the warships.

“No problem!” The Greyhound pirate crews were among the strongest in the pirate alliance, so their leaders had some other ideas.

However, these pirate groups are currently unable to leave the pirate alliance because the pirate alliance's main function is to dispose of stolen goods.

However, the leaders of several pirate crews still wanted to gain more say.

Of course, before gaining control, it is necessary to deal with some other pirate groups within the pirate alliance, because some of these groups are extremely loyal to the pirate alliance.

That would be a perfect opportunity to use John Lee to deal with these guys.

"Sigh, you guys handle the rest yourselves." Yang Bo sighed, making it seem like he'd suffered a huge loss this time, and then ignored the rest of the matter.

Yang Bo had other things to do, and how much the remaining pirate groups would gain depended on themselves.

Then Yang Bo sent the alliance's scandal to the Blue Ocean Empire's royal family's email address.

The emperor of the Blue Ocean Empire was also extremely shocked.

I have absolutely no idea how the other party managed to do it.

Because there are too many things inside that I can't understand.

Subsequently, all officers and soldiers of the Federation escort fleet abandoned their warships.

The four Greyhound pirate crews acquired two Class B warships and four Class C warships this time.

Then the leaders of these pirate crews contacted the people introduced by John Lee, and after more than 20 hours, they gained full control of the warships.

In fact, this is Yang Bo in a different identity.

This way, Yang Bo can collect an extra amount of money.

This incident quickly shocked the three countries.

The league's news outlets have been giving this extensive coverage!
"The Pirate Alliance dispatched over a hundred warships to attack a fleet of four A-class warships from the Federation!" This headline shocked the entire alliance.
