"Duke, disaster has struck!"
Just as Cheng Yaojin was feasting, Zhang Tian suddenly rushed in from outside.
"What is it?" Fang Er asked, turning his head in confusion.
Zhang Tian, bracing himself on his knees, panted, "Duke! Over a million kilometers away, over a dozen unidentified flying objects are rapidly approaching Atali Star!"
"I tried calling you several times on the communicator but got no response, so I ran over!"
Fang Er reached for his waist, only to find it empty. The communicator that had been clipped there was gone, vanished at some point.
"Let's go take a look!"
Without bothering to find the communicator, he abandoned Cheng Yaojin and rushed out with Zhang Tian.
They boarded a spore-class spaceship and returned to the White Emperor-class mothership. In the control room, a massive holographic screen displayed everything around Atali Star. Before their eyes, the vast planet appeared no larger than a soybean.
"Duke, look here!" Wang Xuance, spotting Fang Er, quickly pointed to a corner of the holographic screen. There, over a dozen points of light were speeding towards Atali Star.
As Fang Er pondered what these might be, Zhang Tian suddenly pointed in another direction.
"Duke, they've appeared there too!"
Fang Er instinctively turned his head. Indeed, a dozen more points of light had appeared in that direction! He immediately grew serious. "Can you identify the incoming parties?" "Have you contacted the Enforcement Team and the Dayuan Stock?"
Zhang Tian shook his head. "Captain Li of the Enforcement Team is also unreachable!" "We've contacted the Dayuan Stock, but they said they need time to verify!"
Looking again at the positions of the lights, they found their speed far exceeded everyone's expectations. He commanded the crew from the Mad Faction Pirates who were operating the mothership.
"Immediately compile the data. I want to see what these unidentified flying objects look like!"
Since Li Wan was unreachable and the Dayuan Stock had no news, the only thing he could think of was to determine the models of these visitors' ships by their appearance, to prepare accordingly. As soon as the order was given, before the crew could provide any results, Zhang Tian shouted again.
"Duke, look quickly, there's another batch!"
On the mothership, everyone's faces turned grim. kanδん Three batches, from three directions! The number of light points was the same, exactly fifteen in each batch! And from their current trajectories, Atali Star was their rendezvous point!
"Motherf*cker! What in the world is going on!" kΑnshu伍.ξà
"Dayuan Stock calling! Do you read me?"
Suddenly, the voice of the Dayuan Stock came from the communicator on the control panel. Fang Er lunged forward, grabbed the communicator, and shouted at them.
"What in the hell are these things!" "You'd better give me an answer immediately! Otherwise, I won't hesitate to destroy Atali Star first!"
His voice was chilling, and the killing intent radiating from him made the Dayuan Stock in Luomo Royal City smirk bitterly. If it were any other time, he would have taken such a threat seriously. But now...
He shook his head silently and replied to Fang Er with a deathly pale face. "These are likely the Twin-Headed Giants who attacked Atali Star ten thousand years ago! They are from the distant Mos'ubi Star!" "Duke Fang, if... if you don't want to be involved in the war, please hurry and take your subordinates away from here!" "Atali Star is finished..."
On the White Emperor mothership, Fang Er was stunned. What was going on? Last time, when he had brought two Imperial-class pirate groups to their doorstep, the Dayuan Stock hadn't been this dejected! They had even had the courage to fight back! But now! Just by knowing the identity of the arrivals, they had lost all will to fight. How terrifying were these so-called Twin-Headed Giants from Mos'ubi Star?
Just then, a crew member's voice came from behind. "Group Leader Fang, the data is out!" "They are expected to appear in Atali Star's near-Earth orbit in about ten minutes!"
Ten minutes! So fast?
"Oh no, they've spotted us!" The crew member suddenly cried out, and without waiting for Fang Er's permission, immediately activated all defensive facilities on the White Emperor-class mothership. A yellowish defensive shield instantly appeared, enveloping the entire ship. Having done this, he still didn't stop, quickly contacting the personnel on the other three motherships and instructing them to take similar countermeasures.
Only then did Fang Er react. Damn it, I'm being ambushed! What the hell!
"Activate the star-annihilation cannon! If the opponent dares..."
"Boom!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a beam of light instantly pierce through the atmosphere and heavily strike the White Emperor-class mothership beneath them. The massive mothership immediately began to tremble violently. On the control panel, a continuous stream of alarm sounds followed.
"Alert! Alert!" "Shield integrity down 3%, energy consumption 17%!" "Alert! Alert!" "Incoming attack!"
"Boom!"
Without giving anyone any time to react, the second wave of attack arrived! After another violent shake, Fang Er, who had steadied himself, was furious. Wasn't this a case of trouble finding me at home? After hearing the Dayuan Stock's explanation, he had planned to retreat with his men to avoid the conflict, but these bastards didn't give him a chance? With his short temper flaring, he immediately repeated the order he had just been about to give.
"Immediately activate the star-annihilation cannon and fire back!" "And the other motherships, fire together!" "Issue Level One alert! Order all ships outside to return immediately!"
"Yes!" The crew member quickly got to work on the control panel. The massive star-annihilation cannon slowly rotated its turret, and the next second, it was covered in an orange-red glow. Charging, commencing! At the same time, the mothership quickly flew towards outer space. Staying there to be bombarded was not Fang Er's style. He had finally accumulated some assets here and absolutely could not let these bastards ruin them!
