After hearing Li Wan’s words, Fang Er stared at him with a playful expression for a long time.
The man’s eyes were sunken, his eye circles were dark, and his spirit seemed much more withered than before.
He was very curious about what this fellow had been doing during the dozens of hours he had left earlier.
However, Fang Er did not refuse Li Wan’s request.
Instead, he readily agreed.
“Captain Li, don’t worry. If this matter is successful, what are ten thousand girls? They’re all on me!”
Island nation specialties, just throw money at them!
Ten thousand actresses, in their industry, wouldn’t even count as a drop in the bucket, right?
“You mean it?” Li Wan was overjoyed.
Fang Er patted his chest and assured him, “Absolutely! When a man speaks, his word is his bond!”
The girls in the video looked incredibly alluring. During this period, Li Wan hadn’t even slept well.
Almost every time he closed his eyes, he could hear someone softly murmuring “Yamete…” in his ear.
Originally, Li Wan had come to check the situation because the two major pirate groups had mobilized.
Now, after receiving Fang Er’s assurance, he led his team away directly, not asking another question.
Jin Wu Tu An and Wei Zhen Zhi Tian had no idea what Li Wan’s purpose was for coming. Seeing that he had only chatted with Fang Er for a few words before leaving, they paid no attention.
They just kept urging him, asking Fang Er when they would set off.
The Heavenly Fire pirate group had expanded on such a large scale, and the newly added warships all needed people to operate them.
Instead of hiring those messy interstellar races, Fang Er preferred to take over Planet Atali!
This way, he would have a steady stream of subordinates who could be completely trusted to come.
It was time for the Heavenly Fire Army to undergo a transformation!
“Set off!”
Fang Er did not delay further. With a wave of his hand, he boarded the Emperor-class mothership of Wei Zhi En Tian first.
“Lord Duke, absolutely not!”
Xue Rengui saw this and quickly reminded him in a low voice through his comms.
He had originally been worried that after leaving the black market, these people would capture Fang Er as a hostage.
Now, seeing Fang Er willingly deliver himself, his face instantly turned extremely pale.
“No need to worry, I know what I’m doing!”
Fang Er looked back and gave him a reassuring look.
He could completely understand Xue Rengui’s concerns.
However, in this situation, any worry was superfluous, because the gap in strength was obvious!
But, in order to take over Planet Atali, he had to take a gamble.
This was a decision made when he decided to hire the pirate groups.
Wei Zhi En Tian was also a bit surprised by Fang Er’s actions.
But after just a moment, he burst into laughter and took the lead in guiding Fang Er.
“Captain Fang, what courage!”
“I’ve never met an employer like you before!”
To hire pirate groups two or three levels higher than oneself with an absolute disadvantage was extremely rare in the entire black market.
Firstly, weak pirate groups couldn’t afford to hire others with so much wealth.
Secondly, just as Xue Rengui worried, even if they had enough wealth to hire, they would fear being ambushed by higher-level pirate groups.
Fang Er just smiled slightly.
In fact, he knew very well that the most dangerous place was the safest place!
Being on Wei Zhi En Tian’s ship was actually more reliable than staying on his own ship!
The spore-class ships were too slow. They returned to their respective motherships.
The fleet set off at one-thousandth the speed of light towards their target.
More than two hundred hours later, the fleet arrived above Planet Er.
Looking at the mining field below, Fang Er suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something…
Never mind, it shouldn’t be anything important. If he forgot it, he forgot it.
And in the mine shafts of Planet Er, an old Lomorian was drawing circles on the ground.
“Liars! All liars!”
“They promised enough cigarettes and lollipops, but now all the people are gone!”
“…”
The United Fleet flew over Planet Er and continued towards Planet Atali.
However, when they were still ten hours away from their target, a large number of Planet Atali ships had already appeared ahead.
Such a large-scale march was hard not to attract attention.
Over a thousand Eternal Storm-class warships were already on high alert in outer space!
Among them, there was also an Emperor-class warship.
It wasn’t that they were poor, but the price of an Emperor-class warship was simply too expensive!
A starting price of five hundred billion Celes could keep 90% of interstellar civilizations out!
And this was just the purchase price, not including subsequent maintenance and usage.
“You have entered Planet Atali’s territory. Please state your intentions!”
A powerful voice sounded from the flagship communicator of the Kuangpai pirate group.
It was the highest commander of Planet Atali issuing a warning to them.
Wei Zhi En Tian did not reply. He just looked at Fang Er with a smile and asked, “Captain Fang, how should we fight?”
“How to fight is your business. I am only responsible for paying!”
Fang Er’s meaning was very simple.
He only wanted the result, regardless of the process!
More than four billion years ago, the ancestors of Planet Atali, in collusion with other civilizations, had severely damaged the Yanhuang tribe.
Although the result was a mutual destruction, they still retained the wormhole coordinates leading to Earth, which was enough to show that they still coveted Earth.
Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different intentions. This is the teaching of our ancestors.
Let’s just do it!
“Alright!” Wei Zhi En Tian didn’t care about Fang Er’s reasons for starting a war.
He only knew that as long as there was money to be made from fighting, it was fine.
“Charge the Star Annihilation Cannon!”
“Red Pig Squad, flank!”
“Hercules Squad, Saint Wave Squad, open fire!”
“Notify the Blood Dance pirate group to cooperate with the attack!”
There were no tactics. With the Emperor-class warship present, all tactics were merely adding embellishments.
Moreover, it was now a two-on-one situation.
Seeing their Star Annihilation Cannon begin to charge, the Planet Atali side immediately became nervous.
“Fire!”
They could no longer stand idly by. Otherwise, once the enemy’s Star Annihilation Cannon completed its charge, this entire sector of space would face annihilation!
Who knew what their target would be?
Therefore, the final solution was to take the initiative!
This was the main reason they intercepted the fleet in outer space. Fighting on their home turf would impose too many restrictions on them.
“Boom boom boom!”
Countless ion cannons and antimatter cannons opened fire in an instant, barraging towards Fang Er’s side.
At the same time, Planet Atali’s two Star Annihilation Cannons also activated their charging mode.
The great battle erupted!
