Pirates were a group of thugs who made a living by robbing merchant ships. Although they were fierce, their equipment was actually not good. Their fleets were generally composed of armed merchant ships. Occasionally, they could get a few police-used boats. If they could get one or two decommissioned frigates, it would be like a pie falling from the sky for the pirates.
So even though pirates made merchants tremble with fear, once they encountered a regular army, they would immediately become useless.
Under Aurelia's order, the Fifth Fleet's Javelin class guided-missile destroyers carried out a round of volleys. In an instant, more than a dozen armed merchant ships leading the pirate fleet were blown up into fireworks in space.
A small pirate captain shouted, "Boss, the enemy's firepower is too strong. We can't rush over!"
"Charge!" Germoff shouted loudly.
"Yes …" In the face of Germoff's abuse, although the small pirates knew that they were courting death, they still gritted their teeth and continued to rush forward.
"A little more! A little more! I'll drag you all to hell with me! "Germoff's eyes showed a trace of madness.
At this time, on the flagship of the Fifth Fleet, the adjutant was also reporting to Aurelia, "My Lady, the pirates are still charging. Something doesn't seem right!"
"Yes! These pirates must be plotting something! Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to die! " Aurelia nodded. She had been in the army for many years, and her experience in suppressing bandits was countless. Under normal circumstances, pirates would flee when faced with a regular army. This kind of proactive charge often meant that the pirates were going to fight with their lives on the line!
When pirates fought with their lives on the line, it was very scary because these guys plundered merchant ships all year round. There was no guarantee that they would get something terrible. Once they fought with their lives on the line, although it was impossible to defeat the regular army, it was very likely to cause serious damage to the regular army.
"Order the fleet to turn off the main engine and start the reverse thruster. Move the fleet in the opposite direction. Grizzly Bear class heavy cruisers, full firepower, Javelin class guided-missile destroyers loaded with cluster warheads, fire freely!" Aurelia made a decision. Just in case, she no longer pulled away from the pirate fleet. Instead, she ordered the fleet to retreat and maintain the current distance from the pirates, using the firepower advantage of regular warships to destroy the pirate fleet.
Following Aurelia's order, the Fifth Fleet began to slowly retreat. At the same time, countless missiles and depleted uranium bombs were fired wildly at the pirate fleet, instantly causing huge losses to the pirate force.
"Boss, those guys are starting to retreat! We can't catch them! " The little pirate reported. If this continued, even if the enemy killed them all, they wouldn't be able to touch a single hair on the enemy's head.
"Damn it! These fellows are too cunning! " Germoff slammed the chair. If he didn't close the distance between him and the enemy, he wouldn't be able to activate his trump card. In that case, he wouldn't even be qualified to let the enemy die with him!
Seeing that his fleet had suffered heavy losses and that the industry he had painstakingly built was about to be destroyed, Germoff's eyes were bloodshot. He wished he could pull out the tendons and skin the bones of the fleet of the Trade Federation in front of him!
At this time, Jiang Fei's fleet, under the command of Aurelia, had always maintained a certain distance from the pirate fleet. Under the fierce artillery fire of the regular army, the pirate fleet's spaceships were blown up one after another. In just twenty minutes, the pirate fleet had shrunk by nearly one-third.
"Charge at full speed!"
"Order the other ships to block in front!"
"Tell everyone to turn off their shields! Send all the energy to the engine! "
"Overload the engine! I don't care what you do, you must catch up with those guys!"
At this time, Germoff was already anxious because his fleet was being nibbled away at a speed visible to the naked eye. If he didn't go all out now, in a few minutes, he wouldn't even be qualified to go all out!
"Okay! Boss! We'll be your brothers in our next lives! "
"Big brother, we'll go first!"
"Boss! You have to drag those bastards down with you! "
The little pirates also knew that they couldn't escape death today, so they all desperately blocked the firepower for their boss's ship so that their boss would have a chance to activate his trump card and drag those damn bastards down with them!
"Brothers, you go first. I'll catch up later! Don't worry, even if we die today, we won't let these bastards feel good! " Germoff clenched his hands into fists. His fingertips had already pierced his palms, and blood was dripping out, but he didn't care at all.
As the pirate spaceships all gave up on their shields, all the energy was supplied to the engine. Their spaceships' speed skyrocketed, and they quickly closed the distance between them and the 5th Fleet.
It stood to reason that the 5th Fleet was a regular army. Even if it was just a transport fleet, their spaceships were all genuine warships. Their speed was definitely not comparable to that of the pirate's armed merchant ships.
But the problem was that the 5th Fleet was not sailing forward, they were reversing! Previously, in order to ensure their firepower advantage, Aurelia had only let the fleet turn off the main engine, and then use the reaction force after firing the cannons and the reverse ejection port on the front of the spaceship to provide power to reverse. Therefore, their speed wasn't too fast. Now that the pirates were risking their lives, they caught up.
"My Lady, what should we do? The pirates are sticking to us, "the adjutant asked.
"Strengthen the firepower! Kill them all before they get close! " Aurelia calmly issued an order. It was too late to order the fleet to turn around now. Only by destroying all the other party could they eliminate the possible threat.
As the distance between the pirate fleet and the 5th Fleet shortened, coupled with the enhancement of the 5th Fleet's firepower, the pirates suffered more and more losses. The pirate spaceships that blocked in front of Germoff's ship were destroyed one by one. Soon, Germoff was truly alone.
"Closer, closer! Brothers, wait for me for a while, I'm coming to accompany you! " Germoff's face showed a look of madness. At the same time, he pressed his bloody palm on a red button!
"Come on! You bastards! Come and be buried with my brothers! " Suddenly, Germov roared, and his bloody palm slammed on the red button.
"Buzz!" An energy ripple radiated. Immediately after, a small hatch opened on Germoff's ship, and a cube with a diameter of about 100 meters was thrown out.
Click … Click … Several mechanical buckles opened, and the cube was opened. An elliptical sphere with a diameter of 40 to 50 meters rolled out.
"What's that?" Jiang Fei also saw the elliptical sphere through the porthole.
"Haha! You're all going to die! " Germov laughed loudly, and then was blasted into pieces by the Fifth Fleet together with his ship!
