Various gunshots and artillery fire exploded like fireworks, accompanied by miserable wails and booming detonations, composing a perfect symphony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the fleets of Dark Star and the Star Glory Empire warped into the area, they were immediately greeted right in the face by this enthusiastic welcome ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Star stood before the porthole, watching the constant explosions of fire in the East District. Several shipyards had been blown to pieces, sending mechanical parts scattering everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some spaceships were even opening fire outside the biosphere, showing absolutely no regard for the potential damage they might inflict on the artificial ecosystem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a unique welcome ceremony, Your Excellency Dark Star...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him stood a glowing blue full-body projection of a man. His general's uniform was entirely free of wrinkles, and his tone carried an unconcealed mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Star was already accustomed to the General's sneers and cynicism. The military officers of the Star Glory Empire routinely looked down upon marauders like them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, I seem to have spotted those Green Knights of the Aaron Civilization. They appear to be highly active lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Star gazed down below. The fleet and armor of the Green Knights were highly conspicuous, catching the eye at a single glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, General.\" Dark Star stood perfectly straight, wearing a crimson suit that commanded immense awe. \"This is merely the Perimeter District. The Inner District operates on an entirely different system from here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his words, Dark Star still gave Pachis a few instructions. The Scarlet Commander then marched out of the spaceship with an imposing aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dockyard plaza, blood of various colors mixed together, sending a foul stench blowing into the air. Corpses from an array of interstellar races lay strewn across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosive debris of small spaceships was scattered everywhere, occasionally sparking with flames and making people wonder if a secondary explosion was imminent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaboom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streaks of crimson light fell like rain, piercing through the bodies of many people. This overbearing method of attack instantly sparked dissatisfaction among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who the hell is being so arrogant? Think you're the boss around here, attacking everyone?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone looked up and instantly froze on the spot. It was a scarlet flying vehicle resembling a giant red bee, with scales constantly opening and closing across its hull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An emblem of a shattered red planet ruins was engraved on the side of the flying vehicle. Everyone present recognized this mark. It belonged to the true boss of the No Man's Land System—Dark Star!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dark Star has returned?!\" The first guy who looked up shouted in terror, the antennae on his head twitching wildly as his entire body trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a second person, then a third... Everyone looked up and snapped to their senses, uniformly shivering as if a bucket of freezing water had been dumped over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying vehicle descended. Not a single person dared to fire a gun. The formidable reputation of Dark Star was no empty boast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dare to resist? The millions of marauders who had died at their hands would probably have something to say about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone claimed that the red hue of the Dark Star hull was dyed with blood, no one would likely doubt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pachis stepped out, causing a few people to almost collapse to the ground in fear. A Scarlet Commander!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure second only to the leader of Dark Star, holding a terrifyingly vicious reputation. Rumor had it that he even dared to eat Herring-men raw—creatures that secreted an incredibly foul stench to ward off predators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a squad of Dark Star soldiers following behind Pachis, the crowd consciously cleared a path. No one dared to stand in their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who fired the first shot?\" Pachis scanned the surroundings. No one dared to meet his gaze, a feeling that utterly intoxicated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... I think it was Black Skull?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right... It was fucking Black Skull!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Pig-man emitting a roasted meat aroma shouted, \"I was on my spaceship, eating hotpot and singing songs, and damn it, a Destroyer flew in from nowhere and blew my ship to pieces!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having fought for ages, the crowd caught a whiff of this roasted scent and felt a bit hungry, instinctively gulping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area erupted into a chaotic clamor, noisy as a wet market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pachis roared coldly. The loudspeakers on the six flying vehicles simultaneously blared a deafening noise like thunder, instantly bringing the entire plaza to a standstill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are the people from Black Skull? Step forward!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sa awkwardly shuffled out of the crowd. It was strange how these marauders could act utterly fearless at times, yet cower like spineless cowards at others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once the damages are calculated, Black Skull will be notified. Remember to pay up,\" Pachis stated coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no punishment, only compensation. Battles like this were all too common in the No Man's Land System. This was the madness deeply rooted in the genes of every marauder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait...\" Gu Sa's heart trembled. He had lost his target, and if he brought back a massive compensation bill on top of that, his boss would probably turn him into a skeletal specimen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have a problem with that?\" Pachis paused, his voice turning chillingly grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no...\" Gu Sa hastily shook his head and added, \"We weren't the ones who fired first. Those Green Shits... no... those Green Knights started it! We were forced to defend ourselves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Green Knights?\" Pachis furrowed his brow. He looked toward the heavily battered Green Knights, who were gathered near their ships in a somber atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what!?\" Pachis countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, they should be the ones to pay compensation...\" Gu Sa suggested cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying I was wrong?!\" Pachis abruptly took a heavy step forward. \"Either you bring the money here yourselves, or we come and collect it! Choose one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, someone would have to be sick in the head to demand compensation from the Aaron Civilization. There was no way that group would pay up, and he certainly couldn't just launch an invasion on the Aaron Civilization over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullying Black Skull was the objectively correct choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of anger rose in Gu Sa's chest, but upon looking at Pachis, he lost his nerve again. He nodded with an awkward smile. \"We'll pay... we'll pay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um...\" Gu Sa called out to Pachis again. Although the mission had failed, if he could explain things to his boss later, he might still find a way to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he hadn't signed any strict military pledges stating he would face severe consequences if he failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But gazing at the shattered dockyard plaza around him, he knew that if he brought back an astronomical compensation bill, he was absolutely doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything else?\" Pachis glared at Gu Sa. He looked down on these marauders; they were just a disorganized mob, nothing worth being apprehensive about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sa snatched a Smart Terminal from a subordinate's hands and said with a hint of mystery, \"I have some information here... Take a look... and see if it's worth the price of the compensation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That mysterious Brother Lei wanted the data inside this, and that mysterious blue-eyed brother wanted it too. The boss even gave me strict orders about it before we arrived. This thing has to have at least some value,' Gu Sa reasoned inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pachis stared at Gu Sa and was just about to refuse when a voice echoed inside his helmet. \"Bring him up here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pachis's attitude remained foul. He scoffed coldly, \"Follow me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Sa was instantly overjoyed and hurried after him. A sense of anticipation swelled in his heart. He was about to meet Dark Star, his idol—and the idol of most marauders out there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The boss is going to see Dark Star!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm so jealous. Lord Dark Star is my idol...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's my idol too... Being able to occupy a life planet of the Star Glory Empire and still manage to get away, he's simply invincible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the marauders were deeply envious, rendering the mercenaries and explorers who had been dragged into this mess completely speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, that's... the Starlight Fleet, a Shining-Light Class Legion of the Star Glory Empire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Star Glory Empire planning to attack the No Man's Land System?!\" Someone used a telescope to search for Dark Star's fleet, only to spot rows of silvery-white spaceships spanning across the cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you fucking stupid? Don't you see Dark Star's ships right next to them?\" another person scolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does this mean? Has Dark Star joined forces with the Star Glory Empire?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha... I told you Dark Star became a lapdog for Star Glory. How else could they have retreated in one piece from Heavenly Desolation Star?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit! The Star Glory Empire is definitely searching for some Imperial Noble, but Dark Star stopped them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did this Dark Star fanboy come from? How can you even say such nonsense out loud?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wanna fight about it?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area dissolved into a noisy uproar, looking as though another brawl was about to break out. However, it was all loud thunder but small raindrops. In the end, everyone just dispersed while muttering curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wish to use the information inside this to cover your compensation?\" Dark Star looked at Gu Sa with deep interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... Lord Dark Star...\" Gu Sa kept his head bowed, cradling his severed hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know what is stored in here?\" Dark Star asked, casually tossing the Smart Terminal to a subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not entirely sure...\" Gu Sa admitted, before quickly adding, \"But it must be very important...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Star merely smiled faintly, saying nothing. Gu Sa stole a furtive glance at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone meeting Dark Star for the first time would undoubtedly assume he was a refined and easygoing person, carrying a profound aura as deep as the starry sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Excellency... I believe you should see this for yourself,\" a staff member called out in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Dark Star sounded mildly surprised. He walked over to the Intelligent Brain and glanced down at the screen, a strange smile immediately forming on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright... you may go back. We will drop the matter of compensation,\" Dark Star said, waving a hand at Gu Sa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I don't have to pay! This is fantastic! The boss will definitely be thrilled... No, wait... the boss can't find out about this,' Gu Sa thought happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Should I kill off those subordinates who know too much...?' Gu Sa pondered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General... it seems I have some news I should notify you about...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an excellent collaborator with the Star Glory Empire, how could Dark Star possibly pass up an opportunity to disgust them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He transmitted a portion of the data he got from Gu Sa, then said with a faint smile, \"That's a Titan Ruins, you know. Surely the Aaron Civilization wouldn't have kept such a massive discovery a secret from the Empire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Pastoral Song Star isn't too far from the Empire, either. Have you really found absolutely no trace of this after all this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The General's expression grew uglier and uglier with every word Dark Star spoke, until he finally cut the communication line entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Star dropped his smile and issued an order. \"Detain all those Green Knights. No one is permitted to make contact with them. Lockdown the entirety of No Man's Land, and do not allow a single spaceship to leave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, no spaceship is allowed within a half-light-year radius of this area!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\" The one who received the order was not Pachis, but a new Scarlet Commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking away from the battlefield, Li Yu carefully brought Li Ping back to his spaceship. Since it was parked quite a distance from the combat zone, the journey had taken a considerable amount of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you, whether this kid would even make it back alive was a question.\" Seeing Li Ping's miserable state, Hunter instantly put on an 'I knew it all along' expression.\u003C\u002Fp>",2015,"2026-06-05T20:43:33.579Z",1,"novelbin.me","0486bcf1ff92b07ea77504ce020b57b31d3d3b041e5fd1ddda6ddb7fbe3c5252","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-106","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-104",883,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--cover.jpg"]
