Lan Jue had the map the Moonfiend Empress had given her. It was a trap, but the map was real.
It hadn't been too long since they'd last visited the Shattered Starfields. Although the distribution of planets in the Starfields had been changing, it hadn't changed much in such a short time.
The Crimson Blood Pirates weren't one of the best pirate clans in the Shattered Starfields. They weren't particularly strong, much smaller than the Moonfiend Pirate Clan.
But they had the backing of the Northern Alliance, so they were like fish in water in the Northern Alliance.
They were stationed on a small planet, only a hundredth the size of Skyfire. The asteroid belt around it was stable, so the chances of a collision were low.
According to the An Lun army, the Crimson Blood Pirates didn't have many soldiers, only about three battalions of mecha suits. But they were well equipped. The paint on the surface was a mess, but in reality they were all top-notch mecha suits. Where they'd come from was hard to say.
In terms of warships, they had a total of two battleships and ten to fifteen patrol ships.
They were the cream of the crop amongst the pirates.
Moreover, their warships all had relatively good energy gems as their energy cores, and their actual combat power was much stronger than other warships of the same class.
Zeus-1 cut into the Shattered Starfields very close to the border of the Northern Alliance. It only took them two days to reach the Shattered Starfields.
Soon they were nearing their destination.
The planet the Crimson Blood Pirates had named Crimson Red Star.
"Turn invisible," Lan Jue ordered.
Zeus -1's bright blue surface was darkening as it flew through space.
The deep blue faded away until it blended in with space itself.
It wasn't complete invisibility, but a special coating had been applied to the ship to make it invisible.
At the same time, Lan Jue didn't give the Accountant any orders. The Accountant turned on the radar so they couldn't be detected.
At the very least, they couldn't be detected within a certain range.
Lan Jue sat on the main seat, her eyes cold.
He had destroyed many pirate clans in the Shattered Starfields, but none as ruthless as the Crimson Pirates.
This was also the first time.
"Close to the radar analysis zone."
The Accountant steered Zeus -1 to the left, circling the planet. Any further and they'd be discovered.
Lan Jue said solemnly: "Prepare the main cannon.
Accountant, analyze the surface of the Crimson Star. "
The Accountant turned to look at him in surprise.
Lan Jue was also looking at him. "I believe in you."
"Alright." The Accountant answered without hesitation. His hands flew across the keyboard as he tapped away.
The Zeus -1 was indeed the most outstanding warship he had ever seen. The systems inside the warship were all the most advanced.
The radar scan was activated.
One image after another flickered through the Accountant's eyes. Both his brain and Zeus -1's were engaged in a comprehensive analysis.
He analyzed the situation on the surface of the Blood Red Planet.
"Found it.
Their airship hangar is over here. "The Accountant shouted excitedly.
Lan Jue's voice was low. "How's the main cannon charging?"
Mika's voice was low. "Main cannon charging complete."
Lan Jue slapped the armrest of her seat. "Fire!"
"Fire!"
Mika repeated the order. Zeus -1 floated in space, disappearing from its previous cloaking state. Beams of light began to coalesce in front of the ship. A brilliant beam of blue light erupted from the ship's hull. It shot towards the Crimson Star in the distance.
The students couldn't help but clutch at the armrests of their seats.
Before this they had been traveling through the stars in a warship. But now they were witnessing a real battle between warships!
At this distance, would Zeus -1's attack hit the Crimson Star? Would it do any damage to the enemy?
The answer was revealed in a flash!
The airship hangar on the Blood Red Planet was protected by a protective shield. When the Zeus-1's main cannon struck, a white screen of light appeared.
Unfortunately for Zeus-1, it only lasted for a split second. The students watched on the screens as Zeus-1's main cannon fired in a spiral attack. It had incredible penetrative power.
A violent explosion erupted from the Crimson Star.
However, following that, the surface of the blood-red planet began to light up.
The Accountant screamed. "It's an interplanetary defense system. Shit, is this really a pirate planet? Not a Northern Alliance base?"
Even as he spoke, he didn't stop moving. He turned Zeus-1 around and went back into stealth mode. With a fierce flick of his wrist, Zeus-1 flew off to the side. In midair, Zeus-1 did a maneuver like a fighter jet, and rolled to the side.
In the blink of an eye, beams of light shot out from the Crimson Star. They wove together into a net of light, and Zeus -1 narrowly avoided the onslaught.
"Small fry.
You think you can hit me with that level of skill? "
The Accountant's mood had been roused. He was a jumpy man by nature, and his eyes flickered with black and white light. It was like an infinite number of codes were running through them. His hands moved like lightning, and Zeus -1 made a series of evasive maneuvers. Each movement was deft and deft.
The ship's internal stabilizing systems were activated, but the ship's interior was unstable and swaying.
The students now understood why Lan Jue had wanted them to experience the stress of the ship's rapid flight.
Now it seemed that it was necessary.
At the very least it would keep them calm, and their bodies wouldn't be affected.
"Drillmaster!
Our main cannon broke through the enemy's shields, and destroyed at least one battleship. Ha-ha!
This time, these pirates are going to die of heartache. "They rushed out of the enemy's starry sky defense system's attack range.
The Accountant was excited.
"After today," Lan Jue said coldly.
"After today, they won't have the chance to feel the pinch.
Turn the ship around and prepare for battle. "
Yes, they were preparing for battle.
After suffering such a huge loss, the Blood Red Pirate Group naturally would not let the matter rest.
One by one, the patrol ships rose into the air, spread out in formation, and flew toward them.
It had to be said that these pirates were skilled fighters. They were able to send out patrol ships in such a short amount of time.
It was obvious they were on high alert at all times.
Any pirate clan that could survive in the Shattered Starfields was unique in its own way.
Lan Jue didn't say anything. To her, no matter how strong the enemy was, they had to be destroyed.
Zeus -1 turned around, its camouflage coating still concealing it in the darkness of space.
The Crimson Pirates' eight patrol ships were neatly arrayed. Just as the Accountant had predicted, one of their battleships had been destroyed.
At least one of them had been destroyed, and the other had yet to take off.
Perhaps it was because they didn't think it was necessary, or for some other reason.
The leader of the Crimson Pirates was called Feng Ling. He was a big, fat man. His eyes were blue as he stared at the screen in front of him.
His eyes were bloodshot.
The attack had been too sudden. Alarms blared across the Crimson Star.
At this time, Feng Ling was in another battleship.
He wasn't just cruel, bloodthirsty, but also cautious.
All the arrogant pirates had become corpses.
Therefore, his flagship, which was the other battleship of the Blood Red Pirates, was actually in the underground base.
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't expand the base, he would've kept most of his ships here.
Feng Ling looked to be in his forties. His face was covered with tumors the size of soybeans. His eyes weren't much bigger than the tumors, and the muscles on his face twitched in anger.
Ever since he'd gained the support of a branch of the Northern Alliance military, he'd grown more and more powerful. Here on the Crimson Star, he was the absolute ruler.
But beneath his rough exterior was a heart as delicate as a woman's, and a fear of death.
That's why he'd run his planet like an iron bucket.
He'd paid a hefty price to install an interstellar defense system. This was something only the Major League controlled planets had. His was a miniature version, but it wasn't easy.
It was a military product.
In all of the Shattered Starfields, other than the Shattered Stars, there wasn't a planet with a better defense system than his own.
Feng Ling was cautious and wretched. He was cruel, but he never fought a battle he wasn't sure he could win.
He only acted when he had the upper hand. This caution earned him the approval of the Northern Alliance military.
But in the Shattered Starfields, the other pirates called him Feng Ling. They called him Feng Ling, meaning he was as careful as a woman.
Feng Ling's battleship hadn't taken to the skies yet because he was being cautious. His battleship had been modified so it could fly long distances. It was his last resort in case of emergency.
"Who is it? Who the hell is it?!" Feng Ling roared.
On the screen in front of him, eight patrol ships were spread out, searching for signs of the enemy.
From what he'd seen on the radar, the enemy had to be a small warship, similar in size to a patrol ship. But the attack just now was at least as powerful as a battleship!
"Bastards, if I catch you, I'll skin you alive!"
Feng Ling said fiercely, but he still did not give the order for his flagship to join the battle.
Feng Ling's nickname wasn't just for show.
