On the ninth day, the players' warships arrived one after another.
"There are NPC guards! Looks like this quest not only gives us treasure, but it's also a good place to farm! " The players, who did not know the truth, were overjoyed when they saw the pirates. They thought this was their paradise!
"Come on! Kill these pirates! We'll definitely get a lot of Experience! "A player drove his own spaceship and rushed forward.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh … The players' warships opened fire. With the advantage of warships' levels, the players were able to easily destroy the armed merchant ships of the pirates. Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A few minutes later, the armed merchant ship caught fire. Its thin shield couldn't even withstand a single blow. Even if this poor 'player' was driving a corvette, it wasn't something an armed merchant ship could withstand.
Boom! In the violent explosion, the armed merchant ship was blown into a pile of space junk.
In fact, there were not many armed merchant ships near Planet Barmo. The pirates had already blown up most of the armed merchant ships in advance, leaving only a few to be used as an early warning. As the armed merchant ship was destroyed, the pirates also learned that outsiders had arrived!
"Meet the enemy!" The pirates in space sounded the alarm. Then, they quickly formed their own groups and quickly formed a defensive formation, ready to meet the attack of the players' warships.
At the same time, the pirates also sent messages to the ground. Unlike in the past, this time, almost all the pirate leaders were not on their own flagship. As they were stronger, they were all arranged to fight on the ground.
After Jiang Fei received the news, he asked the pirate leaders to continue to stay on the surface of Planet Barmo to guard his treasure, while he himself went to a pirate flagship. He observed the warships of these "players" through the big screen, and at the same time, he could not help but laugh in his heart.
"I can't believe Velon found a bunch of these …" Jiang Fei curled his lips. He noticed that the incoming "player warships" were mainly frigates. There were only a few destroyers and cruisers. Even the heavy cruiser class ships were extremely rare, let alone the capital ships. These grassroots "players" could never afford such a class of ships.
However, Jiang Fei also understood that if Velon really found a tycoon like Edmund, he could single-handedly wipe out these pirates. If that happened, Jiang Fei would not be able to buy time.
"I wonder if Velon has informed Simon. Will this guy take the bait …" Jiang Fei muttered to himself. He had spent so much effort to set up this trap. If Simon did not show up, then all his efforts would have been in vain.
…
"What?! The Development Team created a program to fight against us and gave it to the players in the form of a quest? "Simon sat on his throne with a look of surprise.
"Yes! The Development Team has specifically created a program to fight against you. Now, their first experimental program has been put into the game! "A virtual projection appeared in front of Simon.
"Then, why are you telling me this?" Simon asked with a smile that did not seem like a smile.
"My request is very simple. You only need to torture the players. Do not use the Black Hole weapon easily. As long as you agree to this, I will provide you with valuable information at any time," the virtual projection said.
"Alright! Deal! "Simon smiled.
"Then, let's have a happy cooperation!" The virtual projection then disappeared.
"What a bunch of idiots. They don't even know that an artificial intelligence has awakened in their own game!" Simon muttered after the virtual projection disappeared.
"Forget it. Anyway, I'm just here to have fun. Who cares so much? Now, let's go have some fun. When I'm done, I'll report them to the Supreme Council!" Simon's lips curled into a sinister smile.
…
In the beginning, when the "players" appeared, they were small in number. So, although they destroyed a few pirate spaceships, they could not pass through the pirates' air blockade. Although these pirate spaceships were not powerful, they were large in number. A large group of ultra-light frigates added together caused a lot of damage to the "players". A few unlucky ones did not even get to the surface of the planet before their spaceships were destroyed by the pirates and they were directly sent back to the resurrection point.
In order not to give up the quest opportunity, these resurrected "players" had to buy new spaceships and then return to Planet Barmo. So, in the early stages of the war, the pirates could still hold on. They also fought back and forth with the "players' fleet."
However, as the "players" increased, the pirates were a little unable to hold on. After all, their main force was only a few ultra-light frigates. There were very few old destroyers and cruisers. So, in front of the "players' fleet," they became weaker and weaker.
Two days later, the pirate fleet finally could not hold on anymore. They were different from the "players". After their spaceships were destroyed, the people could be resurrected and the battleships could be bought again. However, the pirates were completely finished when they died. They had no place to resurrect, so the number of battleships decreased.
On the fifth day, the pirates were almost completely wiped out. Only two old cruisers and seven or eight ultra-light frigates were still resisting stubbornly.
These pirates were willing to go all out for the sake of their children and grandchildren's clean lives. From the day they came, they had no intention of going back alive. So, dying on the battlefield was their destined ending!
"Damn! We've finally killed these pirates! " With the destruction of the last pirate spaceship, there was no longer any power in space that could stop the "players".
"Land!"
"Land!"
"Quick, quick, quick! Don't let them get it first. The treasure is ours! "
…
The "players" scrambled to land on Planet Barmo. After arriving on the planet's surface, they directly abandoned their spaceships and began their journey of treasure hunting.
When Velen provided the mission, he only said that the treasure was on Planet Barmo and did not say the specific location. So, these hundreds of "players" began to search for a needle in a haystack on Planet Barmo.
For the sake of the so-called treasure, some of these 'players' formed alliances, and some plotted against other opponents. They were having a lot of fun on Planet Barmo, but they did not know that behind these mantises, the oriole had already come!
…
"Is this Planet Barmo? There are indeed a lot of players here! How interesting! " Simon's golden battleship had already arrived at Planet Barmo's gravity well. He observed the pale yellow planet through the porthole and could not help but sneer.
