As an insect-type ability user, his innate perception was very strong, and this perception had saved him countless times.
Just now, he suddenly felt that the breathing in the radar control room seemed to have increased. Although it was very light, it still made him feel as if his scalp was going to explode.
Scar's Discipline was Golden Armor Transformation. He could summon a variety of golden-shelled insects to aid him in combat. He was particularly adept at defense, and could fly short distances.
His survivability was incredible.
He slapped the alarm button with one hand and activated his defenses. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get out. This was Poison Bee Pirate territory. If he could gather the others, he'd have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to do so.
A cold, slippery, and slightly sticky object suddenly stuck to his hand, forcibly stopping his outstretched hand a few inches away from the button.
At the same time, Dao Ba felt a terrifying force slamming into his body.
Kacha!
A teeth-aching sound came from the golden shell on Scar's back. Scar let out a muffled groan, and his whole body was instantly smashed to the ground.
He couldn't imagine how his sixth level Discipline, especially one that specialized in defense, could be so weak.
Not only had it shattered, but his organs felt as if they'd been tossed around. Who knew how many bones in his body had been broken?
He forced his head up, and saw a tall man with a shield in his hand.
The shield was bronze in color, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a sharp point at the bottom.
Pfft! The shield came down, slamming into Scar's neck.
Just like that, a large head rolled off the ground.
Whoosh! The thing that had stuck to Scar's wrist retracted.
A wretched looking man.
The hunchbacked man smiled wryly. "Captain, you're too violent. His blood got on my tongue."
"You talk too much, Lizard. Control the radar." Stonehammer growled.
At this time, the other Poison Bee Pirates in the radar control room had already been silently killed.
Star Division was strong enough to deal with a handful of pirates. It was a piece of cake.
Among them.
Scar was the only one who had any strength. The others were just average trash.
They didn't even have time to scream before they were all killed.
"Captain, control of the radar is complete. Shut down the external system and defense system." The female team member who had cast Group Invisibility earlier quickly sent a message.
"Alright. Send a signal to Majesty that the mission is complete.
Stand your ground, "Stonehammerstone ordered.
"Yes."
An invisible shadow silently spread towards the Poison Wasp Pirate Crew.
Half an hour later, someone who was hiding behind cover suddenly waved his right hand.
In the distance, a white light soared into the sky.
It rose thousands of meters into the sky before silently exploding. Invisible distorted ripples quietly spread in the sky.
Special frequency electronic interference bomb.
Under its effect.
Within half an hour, all communications within the interference area, except for special wavelengths, would be disrupted, and external communications would be cut off.
At the same time, an invisible spaceship quietly took off, rushed out of the asteroid's atmosphere, and entered the universe.
That was Zeus -1, which was responsible for alerting and intercepting any escaping enemies.
All the alarm systems of the Poison Bee Pirates were connected to the radar control room. Under normal circumstances, if the radar and electronic systems were disturbed, the alarm would ring immediately. However, at this moment, the entire base was silent.
Eerily quiet.
Suddenly, without warning, a series of figures rose from the Poison Wasp Pirate base. On the chest of each figure was a blazing symbol.
Following that, beams of blinding light erupted from their bodies and bombarded the interior of the Poison Bee Pirates' base, leaving dazzling trails of flames behind them. Their primary target was the warehouse where the spaceship was docked.
At the same time, on the ground, one mecha after another charged into the base at lightning speed, like a whirlwind sweeping through the clouds.
The Poison Wasp Pirates, who had been extremely quiet just a moment ago, had become the center of an explosion in the next moment. Violent explosions rang out continuously, and before the pirates could react, they were already torn into pieces.
The bombardment lasted only a dozen seconds before it stopped. A large number of mechas charged into the base.
The pirates had no time to react. One by one, they fell to the terrifying onslaught.
The battle lasted only five minutes before it was over.
Poison Wasp, the captain of the Poison Wasp Pirate Clan, was still tossing and turning on his bed when the walls around him were torn apart. A number of strong figures appeared before him.
When he tried to use his Discipline to escape, he ran into Stonehammer.
Poison Wasp's Discipline was as his name suggested. His hand could transform into a poisonous needle, and he could fly at high speed. He was a fast, agile, and attack-oriented Adept.
Unfortunately for him, he was up against Stonehammer, a defensive-type Adept who was as steady as a mountain. His attacks couldn't penetrate Stonehammer's defenses, and he didn't even have the chance to release his mecha before he was cut to pieces by Stonehammer's shieldblade.
It was a short, simple, and absolutely overwhelming victory.
All four Brigades of Star Division were present. Fourth Brigade was in charge of reconnaissance, ambushing, and radar control.
Second Brigade was in charge of long-range attacks. They were as precise as scalpels, cutting down the enemy's most threatening firepower and destroying their ships.
Second Brigade was in charge of infiltration and combat.
Third Brigade was in charge of cleaning up the aftermath and collecting the spoils.
When the entire battle was over, everyone had a feeling that it wasn't enough.
"Captain, can't we find someone better next time?
How many of the squads could've charged in and killed them all, and not many would've made it out alive.
Was there really a need to muster so many people? "The Driver grumbled.
He'd been about to go out and enjoy himself, but the battle was over.
His Second Brigade hadn't even made it into the pirate base before the battle was over.
It would be strange if they hadn't enjoyed themselves.
The Poison Wasp Pirates numbered two hundred, while Star Division had more than eight hundred. That was four times the number, all equipped with top-class mechas. They also had two small, but super battleships.
All eight hundred of them were sixth level Adepts or higher. The difference was too great. It was like an elephant stomping on an ant.
Lan Jue smiled. "Don't worry. Let's get some practice first, then we'll have plenty of time to fight.
Clean up the mess, then we'll retreat. "
There weren't many things Star Division wanted from the Poison Wasp Pirates. The radar system was one of them, and then there was the Poison Wasp's treasure vault.
Perhaps it was a habit inherited from the Upper Era, but almost all pirates had the habit of building a treasure vault for themselves.
With the current level of technology, it was easy to find such a treasure vault.
Killer Bee's collection was quite a lot. There were no coins or anything like that. Energy gems and high-grade energy crystals that specialized in storing energy were the hard currency of the pirate world.
From the Poison Wasp Pirates' collection, he found a total of over a thousand Energy Gems. Although only a small portion of them were B-grade and above, it was still a small portion.
The crystals, on the other hand, were good stuff. They could be used to recharge battleships and mechas.
Of course, Majesty and Zeus -1's cosmic ray absorption system didn't have much use for them. But they could be sold for a bit of money.
At least they'd found something.
An hour later, the spoils were all gone.
Majesty flew in from the distance to pick up Star Division's troops. A beam of light fell upon the Poison Wasp Pirates' base. It was a blazing symbol, with a skull in the center.
That wasn't Star Division's symbol, but the Skyfire Pirates'.
Majesty shot up into the sky like a ghost, escorted by Zeus -1 as it sped off into the distance.
Lan Jue needed a place to merge the two swords, but this wasn't the place. The Poison Wasp Pirates and the Moonfiend Pirates were close, so they kept in touch. Lan Jue didn't know how long it would take, so it was better to find a safer planet.
The conclusion of the battle was simple. Defeating the Poison Wasp Pirates was nothing to brag about. Lan Jue only praised his team. Hammerstone's team, who had taken control of the radar room and killed the Wasps, received a public commendation. Their achievements were recorded.
Then it was time for the next target.
It had been a simple fight, but after it was over, Star Division's soldiers were visibly different. Their eyes shone with excitement.
There was no psychological pressure in killing pirates, especially when they were the most vicious pirates that had been filtered out.
Then they'd take what they'd taken from them. That was even better.
Star Division's spoils belonged to the Star Division.
That was the agreement between Lan Jue and Skyfire Avenue.
In other words, no matter how they used the power gems, they'd all be used. Everyone had a share.
Rewards would be given according to merit.
Rewards and punishments were the most important part of an army, especially Star Division, which was made up entirely of Adepts.
Here, there was no such thing as a taboo like the government's. They were independent, so where did the rewards come from?
No high-grade ability user lacked money, so money was meaningless to them. Apart from the exuvium technique, the most important thing was for the ability users to become stronger.
Strength meant a better life, and a better future.
If you wanted to be strong, you needed resources.
Where did they come from?
They had to rely on themselves!
I'm begging for monthly votes. Everyone, please vote for Skyfire.
