There was not much trust among them. Everybody had gathered together while holding their noses because the Kurfürst family was powerful and generous. r
Asking Boss Bai to be the commander of the "National Protection Army" that was temporarily put together was also a bit like pushing him to take the bullet for everybody. r
The space pirates were all opportunists. Although the Kurfürst family seemed rather strong right now, what if something went wrong and the Kurfürst army failed, and the reformists really took over? r
Then, when the reformists held the reformists responsible for the war in the future, the "commander of the National Protection Army" would certainly be the first to be executed! r
None of the space pirates who had roamed the sea of stars for decades really obeyed Boss Bai from the bottom of their hearts. r
However, Li Wuji, as a marquess of the Imperium and a real power figure of the four Kurfürst families, was standing right behind Boss Bai. Further away, a lot of starships of the Imperium were coveting them. r
With that as the background, when Boss Bai proposed a toast to them with a big bowl in his hand, they naturally couldn't refuse. It couldn't be helped. For the sake of Li Wuji … and so many starships, they had to get drunk today. r
"Brothers, the Blue Sky Market completely belongs to the space pirates, no, the National Protection Army! There won't be any starships of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors or the reformists in the millions of square kilometers nearby. Also, we have grasped every airspace nearby that is suitable for space jumps. Even a feather that jumps over will be burnt up by us instantly! Therefore, don't worry. It's absolutely safe here. Let's eat and drink to our hearts' content today. If anyone doesn't lie down after drinking, it means that I didn't take good care of you. You can come up and slap me in the face. Otherwise, it means that you don't give me any face! Haha. Wahahahaha! " r
Boss Bai was the first to get drunk, revealing his true appearance as a scoundrel who did not know how much he was worth. He was rather unrestrained and unrestrained, knocking the alloy wine tank with the big bowl made of stainless steel hard. He was even slurring when he talked. r
His dressing was also very qualified to be a textbook example for the nouveau riche. r
The flames of war in the Blue Sky Market had just been extinguished, and the temperature in the market was still very high, not much better than a steamer. But now, he was wearing a red fur coat that he had looted from the warehouse, as well as a chimney-like sea serpent leather hat that weighed more than ten kilograms. At the top of the hat was a colorful, glittering marrow crystal that shone like a searchlight. He was as extravagant as he could be. r
It was a pity that the invaluable red fur and the hat were prepared for the muscular men more than two meters tall who lived on the frigid planets. Boss Bai, on the other hand, was a thin, short man with a yellow face. The enormous fur on his body was almost like a child wearing an adult's clothes. It was needless to say that the hat often fell down like a chimney and covered his face, turning it into a headgear without any eye holes. As a result, he had to poke his fingers up every now and then in order to make the hat slanted. He did not look like a hero at all. Even the most uncultured space pirates would think that he was wearing a monkey's hat! r
That was not all. In order to open the fur and the hat by force, Boss Bai had also stuffed a lot of rarely-seen silk into the fur. They were all good stuff, but there was no way that he could stop them from being stuffed into his arms. r
Fortunately, he did not give himself away when he gave the inauguration speech of the commander-in-chief of the National Protection Army, but something was wrong when he toasted the space pirates one table after another. His face became redder and redder, and his movements became more and more exaggerated. Even the silk and satins were falling to the ground, trailing behind him. He looked like a red-skinned mouse that had grown a colorful tail. r
A few minions of the Big Bai Pirate Gang observed nearby. They wanted to remind their boss to be careful, but they did not have the courage. Looking at each other in bewilderment for a while, they could only follow Boss Bai with the silk that they had dropped. The hilarious scene would have made even the most seasoned and ruthless thieves burst into laughter. r
As for the enormous Cosmos Rings on his ten fingers, they must've been looted from the warehouse and were used in a hurry to keep up appearances before the password was cracked. As for the crystals, they could only be stuffed on his waist, which was bulging and falling off after every step he took. There was no need to mention the "trivia"! r
Most space pirates did not care much about their image. They were greedy and greedy. However, Boss Bai, who had risen miraculously in the recent two years and was a "super newcomer" in the circle of space pirates, did not look good at all! r
This also confirmed many of the old thieves' opinion of him – he had the strength, but he was too ostentatious and flamboyant. All day long, he was flamboyant, showing off his strength, arrogant and despotic. This kind of person was like a sky-piercing cannon. He jumped up quickly, but his head also fell quickly. He was perfect to be used as a shield. r
He could be the commander-in-chief of the National Protection Army if he wanted to. After all, if the coalition army of nobles won a great victory, they would reap all the benefits. By then, the seasoned thieves and the seasoned space pirates would certainly be able to make such a noisy guy a mere figurehead! It would be more than easy for them to shoot him in the back of the head on the battlefield and divide his Big Bai Pirate Gang! r
Should the coalition army of nobles fail and the reformists win, they would immediately tie up the "commander-in-chief of the National Protection Army" and send him to the guillotine of the reformists. They believed that the "followers" who were "forced" to "revolt on the battlefield" would not be punished too harshly. r
Over the past few decades, these old thieves had fought and killed each other, and had also worked together to rob others. They were both friends and foes, and had long formed an extremely strong tacit understanding. This kind of tacit understanding did not need to be said. With just a glance, each of them understood what the other was thinking. They could not help but curl their lips into a mocking and strange smile. r
Of course, it was a fleeting smile, and Boss Bai wouldn't notice it. Since this young man was so hot-headed and thought he was the king, Boss Bai would just let them continue to flatter him and push him to the sky. r
I'll call you the commander-in-chief and drink a few bowls of wine with you. Even if I do get drunk with you, chances are that I'll trade your head for it in the morning. What an ignorant young man! r
Immediately, both the host and the guest were enjoying themselves. The atmosphere couldn't have been more heated. r
"Captain Zhao, do you still remember the operation with your 'Tiger Devil Pirate Gang' last time? Hahahaha. That was really great! At that time, I was thinking that it would be great if we could work together again. I didn't expect that we would run into such an opportunity today. We're going to rob — no, annihilate the rebels in the Seven Seas Grand Market together, and I, Boss Bai, will be your commander-in-chief! Come on. Drink. Drink. Drink. Drink. I knew that you would never get drunk. Drink this bucket. Drink this bucket. When the time comes, I'll ask your 'Tiger Devil Pirate Gang' to be the first to rob them. The most, most, most coquettish women will all be yours. All of them will be yours! r
"Captain Sun, we … Hehehehe. We don't know each other well, do we? I'm sorry about the business in the Black River Space Zone last time. You lost so many men because of me. However, as space pirates, business is business, and friends are friends. I do admire your reputation as' Ghost Head Saber 'very much! Let's not talk about anything else. I'll propose a toast to you first as an apology for the offense last time. Then, we'll be good brothers and friends. If you're upset, let's go to the Seven Seas Grand Market together! " r
"Mr. Qian, you're a senior in the circle of space pirates. You've been doing this for more than a hundred years, haven't you? It's not easy. It's really not easy. When you debuted, I was still wearing diapers. Haha. Hahahaha! The position of 'commander-in-chief of the National Protection Army' was supposed to be occupied by a respected senior such as yourself. How could a junior like me have a chance? But I'm told that you're not in good health because of your wounds. Aiya, I see that you are full of vigor. What kind of injury can hurt you, the 'Vast Sea Saber' Qian Qi Ye? Come, come, come. This is the best medicinal wine, 'Ferocious Tiger Fall'. It is made of the bone marrow of dozens of exotic beasts. Although the wine is strong and you will be drunk for a whole night after drinking it, it is the best wine to loosen your muscles and bones, boost your spiritual energy, and repair your damaged flesh and blood after the effect is dissolved! Come on. I'll pour the wine for you in person. Senior, please! r
"Everyone, brothers, listen to this commander!" r
Boss Bai staggered through the level. Naturally, he talked more than he drank, but he poured buckets of the best wine into the mouths of the space pirates. The weak space pirates did not dare disobey him, but the strong space pirates intentionally encouraged his arrogance and drank a lot of wine for him. r
Even the experienced space pirates who were usually the toughest and most quick-minded couldn't help but feel tipsy. r
At this moment, Boss Bai suddenly jumped on a bucket and raised his glass like a drunk bear. "Let me ask you something. Who do you think we belong to right now?" r
The space pirates below looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of them claimed that they belonged to the Imperium's army and the four Kurfürsten. r
"That's right. Of course, we belong to the Imperium's army and the four Kurfürsten right now. However —"
Boss Bai looked around and suddenly bulged his eyes. He shouted, "In the eyes of the regular nobles, space pirates like us are the most hateful wolves and the greediest pigs and dogs. They don't even bother to look at us when they have nothing to do. It was only because of Marquess Yongchun's persuasion that the four families accepted us!" r
"If you don't know how to be grateful, are you any different from the unscrupulous b * stards? Remember this. Regardless of the Imperium or the four families, we are Marquess Yongchun's men first and foremost. We are the lord's direct descendants! " r
"Whoever the Marquis tells us to hit, we'll hit. Whoever the Marquis tells us to bite, we'll bite. This is the real 'Loyal and Righteous Protection Army'. If anyone can't do it, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll be the first to kill him!" r
