Chapter 102

Not to mention being targeted by interstellar pirates.

If it drags on, the loss of trade volume is a small matter, but delaying the construction of the Jarilo star system is not acceptable.

Unfortunately, those interstellar pirates don't care about this.

Even if it's just some building materials, they will grab them; anyway, it doesn't cost money.

It's just that this time, they undoubtedly kicked an iron plate.

When the Jarilo First Fleet, fully armed, found the hiding place of those large pirate gangs, the battle was almost one-sided.

They had a little bit of ability to fight back, but not much.

Especially after the Underworld Legion attacked, they were even less able to resist.

It was simply not on the same level.

In the end, the general-purpose humanoid weapons tore through the pirates' ships as if they were dismantling a small sampan; that so-called alloy plating had no protective effect in front of them at all.

Then, the battle ended.

"Report, Commander! The Black Hat Pirate Group has been annihilated!"

"Our fleet has two ships damaged, but none of them affect the execution of the next mission!"

Soon.

The report was presented.

Lin Qi glanced at the name of this large pirate group and couldn't help but want to complain.

"What kind of crappy name is that?"

"Forget it, anyway, it has become history."

The report showed that the entire upper echelon of the interstellar pirate group had been wiped out, and those small fry who could be caught had also been caught.

It's just a pity that not much stolen money or goods were recovered.

At least in terms of cost alone, this operation was a losing business.

Regarding this, Lin Qi didn't really care.

"Continue sailing, look for the next large interstellar pirate group."

Then.

The fleet set off again, and according to Lin Qi's plan, annihilated one interstellar pirate group after another.

The battle record was remarkable.

It's just a pity that pirates are not all fools.

They won't just stay in place and wait.

Between them, there is even less of a lack of contact.

Therefore.

After just annihilating three large pirate groups, the interstellar pirates on the popular routes all hid one by one; let alone Jarilo merchant ships, they didn't even hijack merchant ships from other factions much.

As if they were avoiding something.

Regarding this.

Lin Qi was a bit helpless.

Because this was somewhat beyond the plan.

According to the plan, they should have sailed for a while longer before the fleet would break into smaller units to strike at small groups of pirates.

But looking at the current situation, if the First Fleet continues like this, I'm afraid there won't be any major battle results for a considerable period of time.

Finally.

Lin Qi could only nod, dividing the First Fleet into fifty small teams, assigning one Underworld Legion member to each team, and then, after disguising them, escorting the Jarilo merchant ships.

But even so, the interstellar pirates didn't dare to be as rampant as before.

……

"Commander, it's so boring~."

Inside the cabin, Seele sighed again, her eyes even a bit listless.

This is the third time she has said something similar this month.

"Eh, Seele, when did you change your profession to become a Masked Fool?" Lin Qi asked.

"What Masked Fool?"

Seele was stunned for a moment, then reacted and complained, "Commander, aren't you bored? Since last month, we haven't experienced any decent battles; it's either on the road of sailing, or on the road of loading and unloading cargo; it's not exciting at all!"

"But you have to know, this rare boredom is the life that countless people dream of." Lin Qi shook his head and said.

"I know that, of course, but we didn't come out to experience life; we came to suppress bandits!"

Saying this.

Seele deflated again; she knew it was useless to say these things, because the interstellar pirates wouldn't come out, and Lin Qi had no way either.

Seeing Seele's reaction, Lin Qi found it a bit funny.

It can only be said that she is a child after all.

Saying it's boring is probably only one reason; the other reason is probably that she still wants to show herself off.

After all, having been out for so long, she hasn't made a move properly yet.

Those large pirate groups were simply not enough to fight.

Before she could exert her strength, they were covered by the fleet's firepower and wiped out by other members of the Underworld Legion.

She originally thought that after splitting up, there would be an opportunity for her to perform.

Unexpectedly.

Apart from not having a single ripple.

Instead, it was Deputy Commander Lu Ka who had already sent her information three times, saying how many pirates he had wiped out, and so on.

You have to know, before leaving the Jarilo star system, she and Lu Ka had made a bet.

A bet on who killed more bandits, or rather, solved more trouble.

For this.

Seele had even used her position as "Commander" as a stake.

Now it seems, she is clearly going to lose.

Could it be that the Commander is too powerful, scaring the enemies into intentionally or unintentionally avoiding them?

Seele was just thinking.

Lin Qi suddenly spoke.

"Don't be so gloomy; don't you feel bored? I'll take you to another place to change your mood."

"Change a place?"

Seele looked around, not understanding where Lin Qi was talking about.

Although the internal space of the cargo ship they were riding in was not small, she had already explored every cabin she could and couldn't go to.

Where else could they go?

It couldn't be an uninhabited planet nearby, could it?

That wouldn't be interesting at all.

Lin Qi took out the Anywhere Door and explained.

"The star system we are currently in is a very important traffic artery; the star rails here can pass through many worlds, so a very large spaceport was built here, which can park countless ships."

"So we are going to this port?" Seele answered first.

Lin Qi shook his head, "We are going to the Astral Express docked at this port."

Astral Express?

After a period of cramming, Seele can only be considered half-illiterate now.

She wouldn't dare to say she knows other knowledge, but she does know a thing or two about the famous factions in the universe.

Among these factions, she remembers the Astral Express particularly clearly.

Because the Astral Express is too special.

Or rather.

Driving a train and galloping in the sea of stars is itself a very magical thing.

By comparison, other factions have spaceships and starships.

It seems ordinary instead.

Therefore.
