Space pirates also have star currency, not only from the Empire but also from the Federation. They do business with both the Empire and the Federation, and that's how they acquire star currency.
When they are out in the world, they don't always act as space pirates. They even have citizenship in the Empire and the Federation, albeit only on remote planets, but that's enough for them.
That's enough for them to leave the Death Starfield and start a new life.
If they had a map, they could have left; there was no need for them to die here.
All the most powerful leaders are dead. Wouldn't these lowly underlings just be throwing their lives away if they went up there?
So why not leave?
The thought of leaving actually brought them a sense of relief and joy. Not having to live a life of constant danger was actually quite nice.
“I know someone who has the map; I’ll take you to him,” one of the space pirates suddenly said.
The other space pirates echoed this sentiment. Whether they chose to remain in the Death Starfield or leave, the route map was indispensable to all of them.
The space pirates left.
Li Ze: "Why did you suddenly withdraw?"
He Xingjue sensed the lingering desire in Li Ze's tone and his lips twitched. "I don't know. You go back to the ground first, I'll go into the Star Sea to contact the Snow Wolf people."
Li Ze grunted, "My artillery is almost used up."
"It's alright. I'll reinstall it for you in a bit," He Xingjue reassured him.
Li Ze was satisfied with his goal and said, "Then hurry back."
He Xingjue's lips curled up slightly. Although the other party was only looking for the weapon, not him as a person, his heart still couldn't help but race when he heard those words.
"Okay," He Xingjue replied in a hoarse voice.
After returning to the ground and emerging from his own mech, Li Ze took out Els's mech.
He wasn't sure how long He Xingjue would be gone, but to prevent the space pirates from returning, he needed a fully armed mech on standby. If He Xingjue couldn't return in time, he'd have a mech to use.
Taking advantage of this free time, Li Ze entered Els's mech and familiarized himself with the various devices inside.
The fighting on Star 3 has temporarily subsided, but the artillery fire in the Guyu and Xiazhi star regions is intensifying, with imperial troops and void beast hordes pouring into the battlefield in droves.
There were six live streams of the battlefield alone on the StarNet.
"So far, the Empire has deployed six legions. In my forty-eight years of life, I have never seen such a large-scale and wide-ranging beast tide."
"Pray for the people of the Grain Rain Starfield and the Summer Solstice Starfield, hoping they are safe and sound."
"I'm not good at emotional words, but I'll donate money first."
"The donation channel has been opened, and I have also donated some, doing my part."
Same as above.
"I've checked six live streams, but I haven't found Snow Wolf. Has anyone seen Snow Wolf?"
"At first, the Snow Wolves said they were busy. Two days later, the entire Snow Wolves Legion disappeared. Who knows where they went?"
"Could the Snow Wolves have done this on purpose? Knowing that this beast tide is coming fiercely and the Void Beasts are stronger than ever before, have they gone into hiding?"
"Upstairs, the Empire has more than just the Snow Wolf Legion. Furthermore, the Snow Wolf's contributions to the Empire are unprecedented and unparalleled; no other legion can compare. You may have doubts, but you cannot slander the Snow Wolf."
"Exactly. Anyone could deliberately hide, but only the snow wolf wouldn't."
"Then tell me, where did the snow wolf go?"
"So Snow Wolf isn't allowed to do anything else? Over the years, hasn't Snow Wolf done enough important things? And why are the twelve legions of the Empire so fixated on Snow Wolf?"
"Because of Snow Wolf's strength. If Snow Wolf were here, fewer people would die in the Valley Rain Star Region and Summer Solstice Star Region, and the entire war could even end sooner."
The entire live stream fell silent after those words were spoken.
In fact, that's what they thought too. Especially the residents of the Guyu and Xiazhi star regions, some of whom were already blaming the Snow Wolves, believing that if the Snow Wolf Legion were there, their homes wouldn't have been destroyed.
"You think you're right just because you're weak? What gives you the right? Does the Snow Wolf owe you something?"
"Snow Wolves are busy. The Empire can just send a few more legions."
"Other legions also need to guard other territories, how can they all be transferred to the south!"
......
Netizens debated endlessly, and some comments unfavorable to the Snow Wolf Legion began to circulate on the StarNet.
The Snow Wolf warriors were completely unaware of this, and even if they had, they probably wouldn't have cared. At this moment, their eyes were only on the beautiful, dreamlike starry sea outside the warship, and their minds were filled with excitement and anticipation at the impending invasion of the space pirates' lair.
“We can leave Planet 1 for now. We’ll split in two, with one group going to Planet 2 and the other to Planet 3,” Chen Qian said.
"Yes, sir!"
Meanwhile, at the exit outside the Death Starfield, a tight net had already been laid. If any space pirates escaped, they would be captured or killed immediately.
The notorious space pirates have no chance of escaping justice.
When He Xingjue returned from the Star Sea, he raised an eyebrow at the other mecha beside Xuan Ying. "Ells's mecha?"
“That’s right, it’s his.” Li Ze stepped out of the mecha. “Are you going to equip me with weapons now? Can you equip me with the most powerful ones?”
He Xingjue hesitated, "It would exceed my authority."
"Then forget it." Li Ze's tone was somewhat regretful.
“However, this is a special case, so I will make an exception for you this time,” He Xingjue said again.
Li Ze: "...Thank you."
Should we make an exception for him?
That sounds a bit strange.
Li Ze originally planned to learn from He Xingjue while he was equipping him with weapons, but just as He Xingjue was about to begin, a terrible sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
“Something’s coming,” Li Ze said, quickly putting away his Xuan Ying. “I’ll go stop it first. You get your own mecha equipped.”
After saying that, Li Ze entered the mecha and controlled it to fly rapidly in one direction.
He Xingjue's eyes narrowed, and he immediately turned to his mecha, getting to work as quickly as possible.
Judging from Li Ze's appearance, this crisis is probably quite serious.
Without any hesitation, He Xingjue upgraded his mecha with the strongest firepower.
Not all warships stayed at the starport; some weaker pirate groups chose to keep their warships on their own territories.
Now that they know the four strongest pirate crews on Planet 3 have been wiped out, the smaller pirate crews are getting restless.
They're going to seize the warships!
Li Ze locked onto the approaching warship from afar and unleashed his strongest artillery barrage.
However, this warship was different from the mechs he had encountered before. In Li Ze's view, its steady artillery fire was intercepted by the enemy halfway through.
At the same time, the enemy launched an attack on Li Ze.
The dense barrage of artillery fire, as if possessing intelligence, relentlessly pursued Li Ze.
