The Last Sentinel

"Billy, are you crazy!"

"You actually chose to collaborate with a mad dog of unknown origin to harm these colleagues! You'll be wanted by all three major space pirate organizations!"

At this moment, the red-haired and white-haired first mates on the [Billy King] were utterly shocked. They never expected that Captain Billy, who had just maintained an absolutely neutral stance, would suddenly switch sides and cooperate with Mad Dog.

Billy's gaze, however, lost its cold glint, and he said, enunciating each word clearly, "I had no choice. You two should know Hydra's ways of doing things better than I do."

"Anything Hydra sets its sights on will be thoroughly cleansed within a radius of ten thousand miles, leaving not a single survivor!"

"The fact that Hydra's main force is involved this time means they're serious. I don't know if Mad Dog will survive, but we will definitely die!"

"Hydra will definitely clear the area before the battle, clearing everything within a radius of ten thousand miles. We don't have time to escape now; we can't even travel ten thousand stars in such a short time!"

"The only way to survive now is to let Mad Dog live, and then let Mad Dog leave this place. Once Mad Dog leaves, the main force of Hydra will go after Mad Dog and will pass us by, and we will be safe."

As soon as Billy finished speaking, the two first mates, one white-haired and one red-haired, fell silent.

Billy was no ordinary man to become captain; his thinking was always more thorough and far-sighted than the two of them.

"So, what should we do now?" asked the blond-haired man.

Billy calmed himself down and started the public chat: "Friends, this is the [Billy King], I'm Captain Billy. I have good news for you. I've reached an agreement with Mad Dog. He's willing to spare your lives, but he wants all the energy cubes and all the money, including star cards, star coins, and rare elemental minerals! What do you think?"

Billy's voice at that moment sounded like the gospel of an angel.

In this oppressive atmosphere, everyone was almost suffocating from being stared at by the mad dog. Everyone knew very well that if the mad dog waited patiently for three hours, it could kill them all!

At that moment, several voices replied in the channel, "Billy, is this true? This is such great news!"

"That's really good news! It's just some material possessions, give them to him!"

"That's right, give it to him now!"

At that moment, a woman's voice said, "Billy, when did Mad Dog become so agreeable?"

Billy said, "Is it the [Eltus] spaceship? Do you have objections to my negotiations?"

The woman's voice said, "Mad Dog isn't the kind of guy who compromises easily. The fact that he agreed means the reinforcement fleet outside must be arriving soon! If I'm not mistaken, the fleet will arrive here within three hours. If we just hold out for three hours, we can outlast Mad Dog!"

This statement immediately threw the public channel into chaos.

"It seems...it really might be possible! Everyone hold on for three hours. After three hours, the reinforcement fleet will arrive, and Mad Dog will be doomed!"

"Don't be afraid, everyone. The mad dog won't last that long!"

"But what if we guess wrong and there's no reinforcement fleet? Wouldn't the mad dogs kill us all?"

Just then, Billy said in a deep voice, "I have to admit that there are indeed many experts among the space pirates. You guessed right, there is indeed an armed fleet heading towards our coordinates."

The female voice said smugly, "Billy, you're really cunning. Are you planning to harm everyone's interests to help Mad Dog? You traitor, you should be put on the Star Pirate King's wanted list!"

Billy coldly interrupted the woman's voice, "I didn't help Mad Dogs, I never betrayed you. Let me tell you the truth, the reinforcements this time are the main force of Hydra, the main force of Hydra. You should all understand what that means!"

After these words were spoken, the public channel fell silent.

Hydra is extremely ruthless. Every time it carries out a mission, it burns up thousands of miles of starry sky. This means that staying here and waiting for Hydra to save you is nonsense!

Hydra can kill mad dogs, but it can also wipe out all the witnesses in the vast starry sky!

Billy continued, "I don't want to die, and none of you want to die either. All we can do now is get rid of that mad dog! So, please cooperate."

Faced with Billy's words, the group exchanged glances for a moment before the previously defiant female voice was the first to yield, "I'm willing to offer all the crystals and rare elemental ores in the ship's hold!"

"I agree to give the money. Go ahead and give it to him so this jinx will leave quickly!"

"Quickly, get rid of this jinx! We can't let Mad Dog and Hydra start a war near us."

At that moment, Billy turned around and gave the white-haired first mate a wink.

White Hair nodded and pressed the button to launch the spaceship's weapons.

Cracks appeared in the protective shields of the three spaceships, and they began to send out various resources.

The Billy King suddenly activated its Plasma 2.0 shield, and the powerful shield was extinguished like an explosion, directly covering the entire asteroid belt!

Panic erupted instantly on the public channel.

"Damn it! [Billy King], what are you doing! Turning the shield up this high will damage our gravity defense field!"

"Oh no! Our 2.0 civilization's defensive field has been destroyed!"

"Billy! Are you helping a mad dog?"

At this moment, Billy dropped the pretense and stated bluntly, "Everyone, I'm sorry, but the agreement I reached with Mad Dog is that I will destroy all your protective shields, and Mad Dog will kill you! Don't worry, after I collect the bounty from the governors of the various planets with your evidence, I will find an astrologer to pray for your souls in heaven!"

"Mad Dog, the protective shield is breached, aren't you going to make a move?"

On the public channel, Mad Dog's deep voice came through, "Thanks, Billy King!"

On the screen, all that could be seen was a huge meteorite suddenly exploding, and a terrifying crimson battle shadow, like a ferocious tiger that had been starving for ten days, charged forward with the force of a tiger descending a mountain!

The more than one hundred ships piled together were completely undefended; they were stacked together like a pile of Lego toys.

In an instant, over a hundred ships were enveloped in a crimson arc of electricity. As the terrifying mechs unleashed their powerful punches, the engine compartments of each ship were shattered. Before the explosions could even erupt, they were swallowed by the terrifying, rusty maws behind the crimson war shadows. The vast asteroid belt resembled a brutal interstellar battlefield. Those once-proud space pirates were swallowed without a trace, unable even to utter a cry for help…

In this moment and in this scene, the only thing to do is to recite poetry.

With the dragon soaring and the tiger leaping, displaying heroic postures, the essence of kung fu is hidden in the shadows.

With a flick of the palm, a gentle twist and a wrist snap, the combination of strength and softness makes the attack unstoppable.

The horse stance punch is like lightning, its power shaking the heavens and the four directions.

With a single, powerful thrust of his golden spear, the force of his fist was as fierce as the heavenly force.

Golden silk wrapped tightly around her arms, her figure steady as a mountain ridge.

Whether in motion or stillness, the mind will naturally be clear; when returning to the starting position, stand firmly in the center.

As Ye Feng slowly clasped his hands together, the Crimson Destroyer stood empty-handed amidst the ruins of the mech.

2.85 seconds!

The whole process took only 2.85 seconds!

This time was mainly spent on those three 2.0 civilization spaceships, which were incredibly sturdy!

Billy stared at the scene on the screen, completely numb. Was this guy even human?

Although Billy had seen mechs before, the mechs he saw looked like big, clumsy dummy machines after they lost their weapons, and their combat power was reduced by half!

This mech, without its weapons, is even more ferocious; it seems to know a kind of interstellar martial arts!

This is truly a mecha that knows martial arts; no one can stop it!

Billy stammered, "Captain Mad Dog, as agreed..."

Ye Feng readily agreed, "All the defective spaceship fragments inside are yours. Come and take them; I won't attack you."

Billy said, "Thanks, but there's one more thing. Now that Captain Mad Dog has killed all the ships here, shouldn't we leave?"

Ye Feng said, "We should leave here, but there's one thing. My spaceship has absorbed too much energy and is now on the verge of upgrading. It can't fly, so we have to wait here for a while until it completes its upgrade before leaving."

Upon hearing this, Billy broke down. "No, no, Mad Dog Boss, you can't do this! What am I supposed to do if you do this?"

Ye Feng said, "Take the fragment and get lost! What else can you do?"

"No, that's not what I meant," Billy said. "I meant that the main Hydra force is arriving soon, and if you were here at this time..."

Ye Feng laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry about me, my friend!"

Billy was jumping up and down in panic. "I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about myself! Hydra is incredibly ruthless. Every time they carry out a mission, they burn down the entire starry sky before starting the battle. I don't care who lives or dies in this fight, what I'm worried about is that Hydra burning down the starry sky will kill me!"

Ye Feng said, "Is the vast starry sky that far? Isn't one mile only five hundred meters?"

Billy retorted angrily, "Bullshit! I said Starry, Starry, Starry!"

Ye Feng said, "You mean you can't escape this ten-thousand-mile radius?"

Billy said, "Isn't that obvious? If I could run ten thousand miles, why would I betray my comrades? I just want you to kill them and leave, not stay here. You take Hydra with you as soon as possible, and I'll run in the opposite direction. That's the only way we can escape!"

Ye Feng sighed, "But my spaceship is evolving! I can't leave now, there's nothing I can do, brother, you might be going to pass away before me."

Billy broke down, pounding his fists on the control panel. "Damn it! How could this have happened! This isn't what I expected!"

Ye Feng asked, "Billy, do you want these fragments?"

Billy cursed, "What's the point of having a bounty if I'm about to die?"

Ye Feng said, "You said it yourself! You don't want it? I want it! Little Bai, collect the fragments, and we'll exchange them for the bounty later!"

Billy went berserk, yelling, "Pay the bounty? You'd have to be alive to spend it! You don't actually think you can defeat Hydra, do you?! Naïve, stupid..."

Ye Feng said, "Considering you gave me the bounty, here's the deal: you come over here. When Hydra and I fight one-on-one later, you stand behind me. I'll die first, then you die, so you won't get burned and wiped out by Hydra first!"

Billy roared, "I, Billy, am not a coward! You are insulting me!"

Although he was cursing and swearing, his actions betrayed him.

Billy steered the ship, and the "Billy King" accelerated sharply, crashing into the center of the meteorite pile and heading straight for Mad Dog's coordinates.
