Poverty makes me capable of anything.

I really want to smash them all to death!

"But it's not enough for me to do it alone. Even the Boyle family isn't under my control."

Visa closed his eyes, took a deep breath, calmed his excited emotions, and then called in the guards.

"Have all the spaceships assembled?"

"Major Evra's troops are still near that underground city."

"Call him back, and we'll leave now."

"what?"

"Go when I tell you to!" Visa shouted.

"I'll go right away!"

The guards didn't dare ask any more questions and ran out quickly.

"What, you're not playing anymore?"

The news spread quickly.

One second they were beating up the pirates, the next they were ready to leave? How could these hot-blooded young men stand this?

"No way, so what if two more pirate groups came? As soldiers of the Empire, are we afraid of these rabble? I'm going to talk to the colonel. Since they've come all this way, it would be too undignified for them to leave so easily."

There were quite a few such voices, and of course, the most distressed were the players who remained on the spaceship.

This is ridiculous!

If they just run away without fighting, what's the point of doing faction quests? How can the seemingly most stable faction be so unreliable?

With so many people making a racket, the guards responsible for relaying the message couldn't handle it any longer and had to pass the message on to Vesa.

"Are you all thinking of going to your deaths? You barely survived the battlefield of the Blue Forest, and you're still so naive. Are your brains full of muscles? Is it hard to face reality? Believe me, come back with me now..." He pointed at a few of the leaders and spat for a full five minutes, stopping to take a sip of water in the middle.

That silenced everyone who was clamoring to fight back.

"Let's not fight over short-term gains and losses. We'll come back when we're stronger. They're just some pirates; what great things can they accomplish?"

"You're right."

So, it's time to slip away, but before leaving, as is customary, I still have to say something tough.

When they encountered the Star Barrier and the Extreme Freeze, they established a communication channel, which allowed Enron's reconnaissance robots to observe Vesa at closer range.

You can also use a scout spell to check his stats.

Vesa, Level 64, Non-combat Class

With his health and stamina values ​​unknown, the most noteworthy aspect is that Visa has two incredibly powerful passive talents.

[Aristocratic Demeanor], a charismatic boost that increases the success rate of negotiations.

It looks very mystical, but there are even more mystical things.

【Destiny Halo I (In Progress)】

The outcome is questionable.

But damn it, it's destiny! It's a halo!

This is just like the "protagonist's halo" or something.

This is utterly shameless; the game is blatantly helping them cheat. At this moment, only An Ran in the entire world can see Vesa's halo. What does this mean? It means he's putting on a show in front of An Ran that makes everyone envious and jealous.

"..."

This actually indicates that he is an important character in the Empire storyline.

I don't know if he's the main character in any storyline, but he's definitely not ordinary.

When you hear him say, "The next time we meet, there will be no place for you in the empire," you won't feel that it's just a loser venting his frustration.

The effect of a roadside fish shouting "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't underestimate a poor young man" is clearly different from that of an anti-inflammatory drug shouting the same thing.

I'm so envious.

I wish I had a talent that could 100% dodge attacks from weaker enemies.

Amidst the pirates' laughter, Visa left behind several wrecked ships and departed Bapulo without looking back.

“Could they pretend to run away, and then come back to ambush us when we relax?” Sheila asked.

"It's not impossible. Deploying more orbital probes will solve the problem. Next, we'll deal with those guys who are still laughing."

Fred turned his head to look at an empty space.

In that direction, the pirates of the Federation were gathered together, laughing and shouting, their cheerful voices carrying for miles.

The heavy burden has finally been lifted, and now it's time to reap the rewards.

Luo Wei was laughing heartily, and Ronnie was laughing even more heartily.

In contrast, the players in the Vesa faction all looked ashen-faced.

[It's over. I made a bad choice in choosing a faction and lost everything.]

No, no, why is this world so unfair to me!

The thought of players in the guild being busy leveling up and allocating attribute points breaks my heart.

[Damn it, none of the tasks I have are completed, and several are even grayed out and marked as failed? Can anyone tell me what's going on?]

So, that's how it is...

"So you guys are having such a tough time too. Knowing the truth makes me feel much better."

[Deadly appearance]

【I……】

Yes, Vesa was driven away, but the game still did not settle the victory for the Pirate Alliance faction, an unusual scene that sparked widespread discussion.

But no one knows the deeper meaning behind it yet.

"It seems there's absolutely no hope."

In a corner of the desert, all Meng Lan could see when she looked up at the sky was the brilliant starry sky.

The traces left by the spaceship will fade away over time.

The temperature drops rapidly after nightfall, and some animals can already be seen coming out to move around.

The clattering sound was incessant.

"Let's go."

A voice sounded behind me.

"You're here. How is everyone else?" Meng Lan didn't turn around; the people who came were also from Bureau 217.

"Those who stayed in Zuowang Village are all gone, but those who went out are still alive."

"Now it seems that even leaving Bapulo is a luxury. My enemy is right beside me, and I can't do anything about it. I'm starting to envy Qin Shuiyan."

"As long as you're alive, there's still hope."

"That's true."

Meng Lan stood up: "Let's go."

……

The Pirate Alliance's ships regrouped at their original camp.

There were nearly a thousand ships when they set off, but half of them were destroyed in the pursuit of Vesa, and most of the remaining ships were also damaged. Despite such heavy losses, the surviving pirates were all smiles.

"What a pity. If Fred and his men had been willing to give chase, Visa's losses would have been even greater."

Golden Hair chuckled: "Stop dreaming. It would be the best outcome if we could just drive Visa away. Why would they risk a direct confrontation with Visa?"

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about these things anymore. The Star Barrier and the Extreme Freezing Point are coming soon, so let's throw a banquet to welcome them," Luo Wei said with a smile.

"Alright, we can also take this opportunity to discuss the conditions we discussed earlier. Let's just give them what they want directly to avoid any problems later."

"What do you think of ANR?" Luo Wei turned to Number 002.

"I have no objection."

"Then let's get moving!"

The two pirate crews arrived while the banquet was still being prepared. The upper echelons of the Federation greeted them with smiles, and Number 002 followed beside them. He made no comment, coldly watching the pirates fawn over him, his gaze mostly fixed on Sheila.

She was another pirate who had broken away from the other shore flower, and Anran had no recollection of her either.

Level 62 seems high now, but in the Higanbana Pirate Crew, he's just a nobody.

After a flurry of noise, Fred, Sheila, and Charles, who was at the extreme point of freezing, entered the banquet together. As nominal allies, the three of them really did appear to be as close as brothers when they got together.

Here it comes!

Luo Wei was incredibly excited.

This banquet served two purposes: to welcome Fred and his companions and to celebrate his ascension to the throne of the North!

"You can laugh a little longer," Luo Wei's gaze swept across the entire banquet hall. "You'll be crying later."

What a harmonious scene!

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the quiet, no one brought up anything inappropriate. This prelude lasted for an hour before the festive banquet finally turned to its main topic.

"Now let's get down to business," Fred said, resting his chin on his hands in a relaxed manner.

Xu Bang coughed lightly: "Commander Fred, I have prepared what you requested and can hand it over to you now."

“That’s not what I wanted to talk about,” Fred said, shaking his head.

"Not this matter?"

“Those things aren’t really important,” Charles chimed in. “There are plenty of good things in the park, and we’ve come all this way for something more meaningful.”

"???"

Xu Bang frowned; the situation seemed to be in trouble. Everyone else also stopped what they were doing.

"There are so many pirates in the North, but they were chased and fled in disarray by Visa's 500 escort ships. It's really quite pathetic."
