After a moment's silence, under Matt's nervous gaze, Li Xin nodded and said, "For Mr. Matt's friendship, I am willing to help you eliminate these evil interstellar pirates."

After destroying this group of pirates, we will not only get the profits given by Matt, but also some of the spoils and storage of these interstellar pirates, which will also be a good profit.

However, the profit is estimated to be not very good.

Interstellar pirates, after all, are just a bunch of poor guys. Even if they loot good things, they will generally cash them in as soon as possible.

Unless they are some interstellar pirates that have existed for a long time, they may have some goods that are difficult to cash in and store them.

The probability of getting rich overnight by attacking interstellar pirates is relatively small, but after attacking them, it should be no problem to make a small profit.

After receiving Li Xin's affirmation, Matt's octopus tentacles waved even more excitedly. He quickly asked, "General, when do we set off?!"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Once your escort fleet is repaired, we'll set off together!"

Matt's tentacles stiffened for a moment, but quickly recovered.

After discussing these conditions, Matt hurried back to his fleet with his men.

Various workers were called up to quickly repair the ship.

The repair of transport ships was put on the back burner, and the escort fleets were repaired first.

At this time, Li Xin was also observing the escort fleets of the Pat Chamber of Commerce.

Pat's flagship is an old cruiser whose combat capability is a mystery. It looks like a retired warship that has been patched up for many years.

The combat effectiveness of this battleship is probably only slightly stronger than Li Xin's destroyer.

Although the size is larger, there is a generation gap after all. Li Xin's destroyers are all fourth-generation ships, and Matt's flagship is at most a second-and-a-half-generation battleship.

The weapons, armor, and systems are not very good. Looking at the battleship, it seems that it is not well maintained. To be able to be stronger than a destroyer is already a respectable thing.

There are also six destroyers and twenty-five frigates in Matt's fleet.

These ships are also very old. They are probably retired ships from some civilizations, or they are the old assets of this caravan that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

It is estimated that Li Xin can deal with the overall strength of this fleet with five destroyers and ten frigates, and there may not even be any casualties.

They were able to escape from the pirates' interception, and judging by the strength of these interstellar pirates, that was just about it.

Bringing Matt's escort fleet along is also to prevent the members of these chambers of commerce from getting confused.

Although it is highly unlikely that such a thing will happen, who can say for sure about these things?

…

Soon, after a few days of repairs, Matt's escort fleet was completely repaired, with energy replenished, armor and weapons repaired.

Their fleet has now left the port and entered space. On the other side, the human fleet is rapidly gathering.

Matt, the president of the Pat Chamber of Commerce, was currently in the command center on the bridge of his flagship, observing the assembling human fleet through the monitor.

Frigates and larger destroyers slowly gathered together, along with several transport ships and a modified ship.

Looking at the size of these frigates and their brand new armor, Matt looked at the frigates in his escort fleet.

These frigates in his fleet now look like beggars.

Matt muttered, "This Galaxy Defense fleet, these ships are at least third-generation ships!"

"Where did this civilization come from, with such advanced technology?!"

Even the knowledgeable Matt felt the same way at this moment, not to mention the diverse crew members and soldiers on the escort fleet.

These soldiers of various races looked at the human ships on the other side with envy in their eyes.

The captain of a frigate said, "If all our ships were replaced with ships like theirs, they would have been the ones to flee when we encountered interstellar pirates last time!"

"President, can you please buy a new boat? This boat has been running for how many years!? It's older than me!"

Of course, Li Xin didn't know what was going on with Matt, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

This time he dispatched eighteen destroyers, fifty frigates, and ten torpedo boats, a total of seventy-eight armed ships.

In addition to five transport ships and a modified temporary mecha mothership, the Rangers dispatched seventy mechas.

These are all the troops he dispatched this time, and the remaining troops will stay in the Walker galaxy for the time being.

If the intelligence Matt provided was correct, the fleet dispatched by Li Xin, plus Matt's escort fleet, would be able to scatter the ashes of these interstellar pirates.

When the fleet was assembled, each ship had its traction field arranged, and was able to enter the subspace at the same time under the guidance of the flagship.

Li Xin sat on the flagship's mechanical throne and gave the order: "Begin the subspace jump!"

"Yes! Marshal!"

The next moment, the psychic jump engines of all ships started, the real universe barrier in front of the fleet was opened, and hundreds of ships entered the subspace one after another.

This voyage will take about half a year. During this period, the fleet will jump out of the subspace every month or so, and after a short rest, continue to approach the direction of the interstellar pirates.

After six jumps, the fleet finally arrived outside the target galaxy.

At this time, Li Xin did not rush to order the fleet to enter the interior of the galaxy, but tried to hide the fleet's traces as much as possible.

At the same time, all the reconnaissance equipment was turned on to start investigating the specific situation of the enemy's fleet.

The fourth generation destroyers and frigates are not only strong in their outer armor and weapons,

This generation gap is reflected in all aspects, especially in various systems, such as reconnaissance systems, stealth systems, weapon systems, etc.

The human fleet was able to uncover all the secrets of these interstellar pirates without them noticing at all.

With the fleet's reconnaissance, it took two days to get a rough idea of ​​the specific situation of this group of interstellar pirates.

Matt, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, did not lie, and the strength of this interstellar pirate was indeed not that good.

Eight destroyers, thirty-five frigates, fifty-five gunboats, and more than sixty converted armed transports.

These armed transport ships should be the spoils of war they looted. They are all small transport ships and probably cannot be sold at a high price, so they have all been modified and equipped with weapon systems.

It also has a large filling and thin skin, with high attack and low defense.
