Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Mai He's face darkened.

But he couldn't say anything.

They didn't cheat him, and they even promised to come right away.

But the problem is, Sheila, you wicked creature, why are you attacking me instead of your own enemies?

"Attack first, and try to pull the battle line away from the anti-aircraft guns," Mai He ordered.

At this point, there's no need to seek the elders' opinions.

After sitting in silence for a while, Maihe received another message from Qiaoqina's maid.

"I'll go check the control room."

Mai He glanced back at the two elders who were slumped over. These two were truly "elders," so old that they had completely lost their vigor and just wanted to hold onto their own little corner of the world.

"what's up?"

The maid recounted everything she had seen and heard, mainly concerning Johanna.

"Damn it, this woman is out of her mind!" Mai He cursed angrily.

"Alright, you keep an eye on her. I have other things to do."

"Ah."

What else can I do?

Go ahead and fight.

But while that was the idea in mind, the actual implementation proved far more difficult than Maihe had imagined.

Under Sheila's command, the Star Barrier pirate fleet, which suddenly attacked, blocked the Star Ring from two directions, leaving it unable to move up or down, or advance or retreat.

It's like being threatened by a steel fork; the only way to escape is to break through to the left or right.

If he were strong enough, he could kick the man wielding the fork over with one kick, but unfortunately, Star Ring isn't that strong yet.

"There are more people on the left, and there are anti-aircraft guns on the right. It's not safe to go either way."

Maihe's forehead was sweating. "Calm down, calm down. This is the time to show your wisdom."

We absolutely cannot let anything go wrong, otherwise, instead of getting Qiao Zina into trouble, we'll drag ourselves down with her.

Mai He's eyes gleamed with wisdom, reflecting the sudden passage of the plasma cannon.

The high-energy plasma ball just grazed past the main ship he was on.

"..."

Mai He's heart sank.

If the blow hits the mark.

He frantically ran to the edge of the control room.

Just then, I witnessed a dozen plasma balls bombarding another spaceship.

Shipborne plasma cannons are standard weapons with greater power than small ultraviolet lasers.

The defenses of this pirate ship, which was only equipped with ordinary shields, were simply insufficient.

The 200-meter-long spaceship was instantly torn to pieces.

Damn, that's absolutely terrifying.

Only those humans who have reached the master level can survive in the vacuum of space; Maihe's level is far too low.

They laugh with immense joy when they blow up others, but when it's their turn, all that's left is deep fear.

"Go! Attack from the left!"

Having more spaceships isn't a problem; anti-aircraft guns are more powerful than ordinary naval guns, and a single shot might sink a spaceship.

Maihe's unintentional decision greatly surprised Sheila.

She deliberately placed more spaceships on the left side, thinking that the people of the Star Ring would leave from the other side to minimize losses.

Sheila didn't expect that Maihe would panic and no longer care about the other ships. They huddled together and rushed out, letting the outer ships do whatever they wanted.

The power of a coordinated attack exceeded expectations.

The Starwall Pirates, who had no prior warning, were completely taken aback.

"Good, it's working. Don't be afraid, everyone. The reinforcements from beyond the time will be here soon. As long as we can break through the encirclement, we can survive."

When others saw it, they realized it was true.

Go!

You'll lead the charge, but I won't be at the very front!

"..."

This isn't a big problem. Once the charge starts, no one cares who's in front. Anyone trying to play tricks and deliberately fall behind will likely get knocked over.

"Commander, they've gone mad!"

"No retreating! Keep firing! Destroy as many spaceships as you can! This time, the reward will be tripled as usual!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

A strongman wielding an iron mace ambushed the First Emperor by the roadside.

Not to mention when they were winning a battle, the pirates who had originally intended to quit went back to fight for the huge reward.

If you're so tough, why don't you just run right into me and see who's bolder!

This finally slowed down the Star Ring's momentum; once they got bogged down in the mud, the Star Ring's ships would become sitting ducks.

Where are you now, and how long will it take you to get here?

If we don't come soon, we'll die here.

Mai He gritted his teeth. No, he absolutely could not die here. He had not yet made a name for himself in Paradise, nor had he led Star Ring to rise to prominence.

“We’re tied down by the second line of defense. It’ll probably take another half hour…” Qiao Qina said.

"Half an hour," Mai He roared. "In another half an hour, you can expect to come and collect all our corpses."

Even if surrounded, the Star Barrier's attack speed wouldn't be enough to destroy the Star Ring in half an hour, but the problem, of course, needs to be exaggerated.

His vivid and expressive delivery, coupled with his constant table-pounding, made Qiao Qina tense up.

Although she was very unhappy with Maihe, she couldn't just stand by and watch Xinghuan end like this.

"I……"

"You go over there to provide support first, and I'll draw all the fire away from the defensive line for you," An Ran said seriously.

“I understand.” Qiao Qina nodded vigorously.

What a kind person! They had a big fight not long ago, but An Ran turned around and helped her without holding a grudge.

An Ran looked at Qiao Qina with encouraging eyes, "Go, go, fight fiercely with the people of the Star Wall, the fiercer the better!"

I will cheer you on with all my might!

"Whoo~"

Mai He breathed a sigh of relief.

With 500 ships led by Jochina joining the battle, at least the main force of the Star Barrier can be tied down. Next, we just need to wait for the hyperspace fleet to break through the defenses and come around from the rear to secure victory.

Jochina's fleet gradually disengaged from the battle from the flank, and then Anran commanded the hyperspace fleet to fill the gap, but this also increased the distance, drastically reducing the effectiveness of the attack, but significantly improving the safety.

"We're not in a hurry."

Sheila had no mercy, but even including the ships deployed along the defensive line, the Star Barrier now had not much more ships than the Star Ring.

As long as you're not stupid, you can fight for days and nights without any problem.

An Ran didn't want to see the Star Ring turn its attention to her after the Star Barrier was destroyed.

They agreed to attack Sheila's main force from both sides, but that bastard Maihe actually went to raid her base and tried to grab the benefits first. He's shameless.

Since you're shameless, don't blame me for taking advantage of you.

After a prolonged stalemate at the second line of defense, An Ran finally led her fleet toward the main battlefield.

"Why did it take you so long to get here?"

Mai He was furious.

The support from Georgina gave him a much-needed respite, but the game was still very tough.

Every spaceship destroyed weakens the Star Ring's strength. Unlike the Star Barrier, which is pushed to the brink, they can accept these losses as long as they win the battle.

"Are you stupid? Didn't you just say it would take at least half an hour? I gave you half the people and I got here in just an hour. You might as well have just let me jump over here directly." An Ran pointed at Mai He's nose and started yelling at him.

The momentum is amazing.

Mai He's momentum unconsciously weakened, and his anger subsided.

Now that you think about it, it seems to make sense.

So he quickly apologized, not wanting to ruin the tacit understanding between them.

"I was too nervous, it's my fault, it's my fault. The battle is quite intense right now, and I panicked for a moment."

"Wait, there are five minutes left." An Ran completely ignored Mai He.

"..."

Mai He took a deep breath, determined to remain calm.

Right now, An Ran seems to be cooperating quite well. If something goes wrong on my side, other pirate groups will definitely become suspicious and wonder if Star Ring is up to something again when cooperation is mentioned.

"Prepare! Attack from the right flank!"

There's no need to be polite.

Once the enemy ships were within firing range, all the ready-to-fire naval guns launched an attack simultaneously.

The battle was gradually tilting towards the Star Barrier, but when the time-spaceship arrived, these people finally began to panic.

"This can't go on."
