Poverty makes me capable of anything.

The pirate crew now has two leaders; previously, there was only Sheila.

It is said that five years ago, the Star Barrier and the Light and Harmony Pirates merged. Fred, the leader of the Light and Harmony Pirates, was exceptionally talented and used his innate beauty and superb skills honed through hard work to conquer Sheila, a celibate woman who had been abstaining from sex for many years!

That night, Fred fired many shots at Sheila, and under the threat of "force," Sheila yielded.

Then she discovered a new joy in life, and the Star Wall and the Photosynthesis Pirates merged. The new pirate crew retained the name "Star Wall," but Fred became the true leader, while Sheila became second.

This is truly a story of a seemingly domineering female CEO meeting a domineering male CEO!

It's something to be envied.

This story inspired the already ambitious Lao Gao. Having joined the Star Wall for only a month, Lao Gao worked tirelessly, always striving to be the first, but never actively seeking recognition for his achievements. Adhering to the principle of not seeking personal glory but rather leaving a good impression, Lao Gao quickly earned a good reputation among the lower-ranking pirates.

Therefore, when Lao Gao set off for Pavlo, his direct superior, another 25-year-old spinster, specially brought Lao Gao along.

In her own words, "I need a cannon fodder who is so dedicated!"

This was a surprise attack that outwardly demanded many things, but was launched without warning.

The other is the long-standing alliance of the Extreme Cold Pirates.

On the 13th spaceship on the left wing, Lao Gao, dressed in the uniform of the Star Barrier, sat in the conference room like many other men and women.

His superior accompanied another pirate of a higher rank; this is a key point to note on the journey.

"Our objective this time is to aid the Northern Pirate Federation and launch a surprise attack on Vesa's fleet from the rear while they are fighting Vesa!"

"Therefore, destroying Vesa's fleet is essential. There's one thing you must remember: ships can be attacked, but people cannot be killed," the pirate shouting as he gave his explanation.

“Even if your life is threatened, you are absolutely not allowed to lay a hand on Visa, otherwise don’t blame our law enforcement department for being impolite.”

After issuing the warning, he showed Visa's photo to the attendees so they could see what he looked like.

"Old Gao, what's going on here?" a female pirate asked in a low voice. "If we're going to attack Vesa's fleet, why aren't we allowed to kill him?"

Old Gao looked around and, finding no one paying attention, replied, "That's what you call the privileged class. You might not know, but the Boyle family, to which Visa was born, are meritorious families who helped establish the empire. They were the designers of the empire's symbol, the Mystic Flower, and have a lineage spanning over 1500 years. They have an extremely profound influence in the imperial military. With such power in his family, not only within the empire, but even his rivals would have to think twice before trying to deal with him."

"Otherwise, why do you think he became a major general at only 26 years old? His current demotion is only temporary; he'll be promoted again soon. If the boss and his men dare to target Vesa himself, thousands of warships might come looking for trouble the very next day."

"So that's how it is."

Before anyone knew it, the pirates who had been standing nearby all nodded in agreement.

The art of reincarnation is quite difficult to learn.

The male pirates were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, yet they were powerless to do anything about it, while the female pirates who had always stayed in the Star Barrier began to feel sad and disheartened.

They recalled that when the pirate princess Anran was still alive, they were both henchmen, but the treatment was obviously better back then. The princess was just one step away from becoming a grandmaster and becoming a force comparable to the empire's top combatants. It was such a pity.

……

The fleet set off very early and arrived near Bapulo before Visayas' fleet did.

Fred did not act rashly. He hid his fleet in another planetary system, perfectly avoiding Vesa's reconnaissance. All he had to do now was wait patiently.

The wait didn't last long. A few days later, Fred and Sheila received a message from the Federation. After making a formal response, Fred also privately replied to Rove and Ronne.

"We can set off now."

"Don't rush in yet. Let's wait until Visa's fleet disperses, then our chance will come." A confident smile appeared on Fred's face.

Both Visa and the Pirate Alliance members will receive this surprise from him!

Sheila stared at Fred's face, captivated by his confident demeanor, whether he was on top or on the bottom.

Ok?

That's wrong, whether in bed or in public or private.

帝国标准时间8103年12月18日上午11点，巴普洛坐望村当地时间下午6点多的时候。

The final "mobilization meeting" was held.

The purpose of this meeting is to explain the true purpose of this trip.

1. Drive out Vesa's fleet.

Second, support the Eclipse Pirates to become the nominal rulers of the North.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple. Without a second option, the boss and his team wouldn't have made any profit from this operation. Considering the current situation, Visa won't be able to continue advancing into Paradise after defeating the Pirate Alliance," Old Gao muttered to himself.

If he could make a significant contribution in such a major operation, he could then be on equal footing with his current superior.

Come on, Lao Gao, you've got to make something of yourself!

My life, which survived the search for the Maine ore, was not in vain!

……

[One, two, three... Holy crap, how many spaceships are there?]

Let me see!

The left-hand side represents the Bulwark of Stars, while the right-hand side represents Absolute Zero.

[These two names sound familiar... I remember now, aren't they a major force in the amusement park?]

[Wait, two new reputation bars have suddenly appeared in my faction reputation bar: Starwall -500, Dislike; and Extreme Cold -500, Dislike. Holy crap, they're enemies!]

Hatred, hostility, disgust, neutrality, friendliness, respect, reverence, worship.

If you don't belong to a particular faction, your relationship with it is normally neutral. If you start by disliking it, there's no need to explain why.

【Mother Ganlin! 】

No sooner had he finished hurling a curse than a laser beam as thick as a bucket's waist struck the player.

Along with his body, everything within dozens of meters around him turned to nothingness, and even areas further away were scorched and burned by the high temperature.

This was just the prelude; more lasers and shells rained down like a torrential downpour.

[Thank you for accepting our interview, Kleiman Tingting.]

You're welcome, you're welcome.

【…】

【Let's get straight to the point. Many players are very interested in your actions in Watchtower Village. Facing hundreds of spaceships, you still fearlessly stood on the roof and gave the middle finger. You are truly a role model for us all. Can you talk about your feelings at that time?】

[Actually, there's not much to say. It's like the sky is going to rain, a mother is going to remarry, and death is inevitable. Once I realized that, I made that decision. My brother Ting, throughout his life, has always been a master of suave style, and even in death, he won't let his image be ruined!]

[Ting-ge, you're so genuine, but I love it!]

Ting Ge fell amidst the bombardment. Thousands of players fell, but Ting Ge was just one of the more special ones.

Most players were blown to pieces before they could even react.

The sound of the cannon fire was just like the firecrackers that everyone had set off in the forums before. It was the same "firecracker sound". The players in the Vesa faction understood that if setting off firecrackers was a celebration, it still depended on who set them off.

Zuowang Village, which boasted the largest and most prestigious titles, has finally fallen.

Even worse than its predecessor, the Adran settlement, which at least left behind collapsed ruins, the Watchtower Village was completely absorbed into the surrounding desert and turned into dust.

"What a waste!" An Ran exclaimed with deep emotion.

This round of bombing killed at least several thousand players, and if you add it all up, it would amount to tens of millions of experience points for An Ran.

Not long after the spaceships left, players who respawned on the open ground posted before-and-after comparison photos on the forum.

Feeling lost and helpless.

[This is still just pirates.]

If the national machinery in the game were to actually take action, destroying a planet would be incredibly easy.

This demonstrates the importance of peace.

[Everyone, please stop fighting. If you want to fight, go to an entertainment area.]

【…】

……

"Colonel, Colonel, the situation is quite bad. According to the reports from those strangers, Zuowang Village has been razed to the ground."

There are too few people.

Visa's face was grim, and he clenched his fists. He held a high position due to his family background, but his judgment was still quite good.

In any case, achieving the pre-set strategic goals is now impossible.

"Call back all the frigates that have been deployed. We need to consider our next step."

"Yes!"

Call ~

Watching the escort ship turn and leave, the pirates of the Federation finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After running for more than an hour, the pirates on the spaceship had only one thought in mind: they could avoid escaping the enemy's firing range, but they definitely couldn't be the last fools to fall behind.

Watching spaceships crash to the ground, glowing red under the bombardment of naval cannons, is something that could easily cause a heart attack.

The "demon" chased after them, raising its halberd high, ready to stab and knock down any fleeing person with a single blow.

No blood is visible in such battles, because the blood has dried up in the widespread explosions.

At this point, the players were completely unable to intervene in the battle; they could only watch helplessly as the situation in the sky changed over time, eventually becoming a story shrouded in mystery.

So, who the hell actually won this fight?

Are these two newly joined factions affiliated with the Pirate Alliance?

[It's over. No matter who wins, our side is definitely doomed.]

Why, damn it, why!

Visa banged angrily on the window, shouting the same thing in his mind.

Why the hell?

In the Blue Forest, the logistics were so bad that the Ninth Expeditionary Force was defeated. They sent him to suppress the pirates, but he was only given 500 escort ships. Damn it, suppress the pirates.

It would have been better to do nothing in the first place, just open the gate and let the owl in; that way, many fewer people would have died.

Why bother suppressing bandits? Wouldn't it be more interesting to have the pirates unite and hang that gluttonous governor of the Sandy Desert?

A bunch of corrupt fools sit on high positions, and the Royal Council is full of power-hungry idiots with one foot in the grave! The princes are the same, each one as stupid as if their mother had been hit on the head by a big iron pot when she pushed open the door.
