Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"Blocking the wheat in their rear at this time only fueled their fighting spirit."

Sheila's confidants looked worried.

If it weren't for the repeated arrival of reinforcements, Mai He would have perished in the encirclement.

Their morale was dwindling, but the timely arrival of reinforcements allowed the disorganized Star Ring Pirates to put on a good show.

"Concentrate our superior forces to wipe out Maihe's fleet. If we turn back now, it will be a complete disaster."

Sheila glanced back at the last fleet to arrive.

She knew her enemy was over there, but no matter how angry she was, she couldn't turn back now. With the support of ground-based anti-aircraft guns, Maihe was clearly the breakthrough point.

An Ran calmly watched the scene unfold before her.

Countless spaceships.

Intertwined curtains of light.

The suddenly launched energy beam was like a sharp javelin slicing through the darkness.

Penetrate, explode, sink...

It was dangerous, but far less dangerous than a real war.

She had witnessed the Night Owl's attack on the 1903. The bombardment was as dense as a torrential rain. The shortest flying ships were only a few hundred meters long, while the main warship leading the battle was several kilometers long and could not be seen at all when it was moored in front of her.

If such a ferocious mothership were to intervene in a battle of this magnitude...

An Ran could only sigh and say, "Everyone, run if you can, and if you can't, prepare to write your wills."

A single artillery shot could probably penetrate directly from her location to the Star Barrier's base. If it were equipped with a planet-destroying cannon, then they could start burning glass.

"The AI ​​allocates a portion of its computing power to lock onto the enemy's flagship."

"The energy weapons of the spaceships starting with number 350 on the left wing have begun charging."

The spacecraft's radar scanned the surrounding environment repeatedly.

The high temperatures and explosions significantly reduced the effectiveness of radar detection, making the task of capturing the main ship even more challenging.

The moment to witness history is approaching.

The cannons of the Mist are itching for fire!

The first time I ganged up on a level 50 planet-level BOSS, the first time I participated in the siege of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, the first time I became a main force in a faction war, and the first time I personally piloted a spaceship to blast plasma cannons and laser beams at the enemy faction's BOSS.

Countless players witnessed this moment.

Many people put down what they were doing and held their breath to watch this scene.

Yes.

The main ship, which was different from the other spaceships, was finally found.

To her astonishment, Sheila discovered that her vehicle had become the enemy's primary target.

One after another, the spaceships surrounding the area exploded.

"Commander, we've been hit."

After a violent tremor, Sheila's face changed drastically.

"Stop talking nonsense, I know."

Her eyes were fixed on the virtual environment screen and the virtual status screen.

The flashing red light and the 3D model of the spaceship showed the landing craft compartment on the right rear that had been hit. Fortunately, it wasn't a critical area. The shield was slightly weakened, but the energy was quickly replenished.

But this is just the beginning.

More shelling is on the way.

"Activate the emergency thrusters and perform a rapid evasive maneuver within a small area."

"This might be a bit difficult. They're using energy beams, and our reaction time is too short. The detectors can't discern the enemy ship's situation in such a complex environment."

When a spaceship's energy level rapidly increases, it means it's about to launch. However, the battlefield is too chaotic, and they have no way of knowing which spaceships will fire at them in the next second.

boom……

Another violent shaking occurred, and Sheila almost lost her footing.

"NICE!"

The players on the Mist cheered immediately; the shelling had just been incredibly lucky, cutting a section of deck off Sheila's flagship.

"The starboard deck is severely damaged, with a damage rate of 37%. This exceeds the 50% threshold and could potentially cause an air leak!"

The alarm sounded again inside the spaceship.

"asshole."

"Commander, let's make an emergency landing. The Wind Chime won't last much longer."

"Let's make an emergency landing."

Everyone in the driver's cab was looking at Sheila.

Sheila's expression shifted unpredictably. A forced landing might feel good in the moment, but what would the remaining pirates think if the flagship, which symbolized the commander, were to make a forced landing?

The commander is dead?

Did they lose the battle?

Why should I continue to resist here?

Run away as soon as possible.

This is a pirate world. Excluding those monsters who can tear spaceships apart with their bare hands, the win rate of outnumbering the enemy is definitely over 99%.

When the wind is favorable, you're as fierce as a tiger; when the wind is unfavorable, just throw it.

Sheila closed her eyes, and when she ignored the presence of the Star Ring, the battle had already begun to turn into a losing battle.

Not making a forced landing would mean choosing to perish with the Wind Chime, and Sheila couldn't do that yet; she hadn't taken her revenge.

"Emergency landing."

With difficulty, Sheila uttered those words, knowing that the Star Barrier was doomed.

From another perspective, she has also been relieved of a heavy burden, no longer needing to consider the future of the Star Barrier, allowing the Flames of Revenge to burn recklessly.

When she opened her eyes, they were filled with a fierce rage.

I may lose, but I'll take you with me.

The Wind Chime began its forced landing, swaying precariously. Amidst artillery fire and the urgent alarm of an air leak in the cockpit, the Wind Chime finally landed on the ground.

Not finished yet.

Sheila decided to carry out the initial plan and perform a space jump near the extreme colors. If she could really lure out the Void Demon, then all her efforts would not have been in vain.

"Drip..."

Just as Sheila's hands touched the control panel of the jump engine, a tiny communicator she carried with her body rang. Sheila's hands stiffened slightly, but she still chose to answer it.

"At this point, aren't you going to consider my suggestion?"

Sheila didn't reply, but the other person knew she was considering it.

“Although our research on Void Demons is progressing quite well, if your actions attract too many Void Demons, it will be very difficult to save you then.”

"..."

“Think it over carefully. This might not be a bad thing for you. Taking the same risks, you could potentially gain power beyond that of the Void Demons from me! And all you need to give up is a certain degree of freedom.”

Is it just freedom?

Limited freedom probably refers to freedom within a limited space.

It could turn into a monster possessed by power, and might even become someone that man can't afford to mess with.

Sheila shook her head; it wasn't the right time yet.

If it weren't for the desire for freedom, she could have followed in Ereshkid's footsteps and taken a position in the Empire.

I'm betting that the Void Demons that emerged from the Extreme Colors will only destroy those fleets in outer space. I'm betting my entire life's luck!

Set the jump target, set the autopilot mode, set the engine start countdown, and then launch the unmanned spaceship.

On the far side of the home planet, space suddenly warped, the light became chaotic, and in a flash, the spaceship disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 08 An Ran is Going to Eat People

As always, Jicai calmly changes its appearance, but now it finally welcomes a long-awaited change.

At that moment, it was slowly shedding its pink veil, about to be replaced by a bright red robe.

At the boundary between pink and bright red, ripples suddenly appeared, like raindrops falling on the surface of a pool, spreading out in concentric circles.

The previously soothing and calm Ji Cai suddenly changed its appearance.

Like an enraged nobleman throwing a tantrum, the rainbow rolled irrationally, and the black spots that stained it were instantly swallowed by the distorted light.

"and many more!"

Some players have already noticed that something is wrong over there.

"What's going on? Can't you see I'm firing a cannon?"

"Look over there!"

"Don't try to fool me. Don't embarrass yourself with such a low-level trick."

"Grass!"

The player who noticed the anomaly got angry and grabbed the head of the player who fired the cannon, forcibly turning it towards the side of the extremely colorful player.

Fortunately, it wasn't a 180-degree twist; it was only a 90-degree twist that caused the player a slight pain but didn't cause any damage.

"Holy crap!"

The curse words were finally shouted out, but the tone suddenly changed to horror.

The color surged and rolled up and down, back and forth, left and right, as if it had taken a powerful tonic, and after a short while, it finally gushed out.
