"Little Princess, time is almost up. What's your answer?"
Xiong Wei looked at the pale-faced little princess of the Mifa Empire with a smile. He was walking slowly in the crowd with an energy gun in his hand. From time to time, he would lift a person's head with the gun and turn it in the direction of the little princess.
"How about this? The child is small, there's less blood, and it won't stain too much."
"How about this? It's a pregnant orc. How about we cut open her belly and see if the cub inside is an orc or a orc? Maybe it's a female."
......
He walked around in the crowd like this, and everyone whose head he poked with a gun was scared out of their wits, and their eyes were full of pleading when they looked at the little princess.
"Little princess, there's still one minute left. Haven't you thought about it yet?"
As time passed, Xiong Wei pulled an orc out of the crowd, pushed him in front of the little princess, and opened the safety bolt of the energy gun in his hand.
"That's it, ten seconds left, nine, eight..."
The orc cried and hugged the little princess' legs and begged: "Please, just agree to him. I don't want to die. Please, just agree to him."
The orc's companion stood up angrily and roared at the little princess, "It's all your fault. You people from the Mifa Empire are no good. Don't you want to agree at all? Do you just want us all to die?!"
"The time has come, little princess. It seems you have made your decision."
As he spoke, Xiong Wei raised his gun, pointed it at the orc's head and was about to pull the trigger.
"stop!"
When Yin Yi was about to rescue people, the little princess finally spoke.
"I promise you, but you have to release all these people. I will go with you, and then you can exchange me and my father for your brother."
"Little princess, you are so straightforward. Let's set off now."
Xiong Wei simply put away his gun and threw the frightened orc back into the crowd.
"But we can't release these people yet. We are now within the territory of the Mingxi Empire. If we are discovered by their interstellar cruisers, we will have to rely on these people to let them pass."
After achieving his goal, Xiong Wei no longer stayed in the hall. After instructing his men to keep an eye on these people, he left.
The female guards who were mixed in with the ordinary passengers moved quietly around Yin Yi and the other three, protecting them in the middle.
"Admiral, the leader has left. Now is the perfect time to take action. As long as we take care of the pirates in this hall, the remaining ones will not be a problem."
The captain of the guard looked at Yin Yi, waiting for his order.
But Yin Yi shook his head gently, signaling them not to act rashly.
"Admiral?!"
The captain of the guard was puzzled as to why the admiral didn't let them take action. They were all the most elite soldiers in the military, and each of them could fight against a hundred people. These dozen or so pirates were no match for them at all.
"First, look at the sixth window on the port side."
Upon hearing this, the captain of the guard pretended that his legs were numb from squatting, and changed his posture to look over. With just one glance, he understood why the admiral didn't let them take action.
Although he only saw a corner, he could see very clearly that to the left of their starship was the starship of the Lion Mercenary Group.
"They actually brought the Dark Magic Ship here?!"
Bai Li's face looked heavy.
Originally, they thought that the members of the Lion Mercenary Group had boarded the starship among the passengers, but they didn't expect that these pirates would actually drive their base camp here.
This is the central region of the Mingxi Empire. Not to mention the space jump points, there are also interstellar cruisers patrolling back and forth between the planets.
Such a large Black Magic Ship could actually hide from so many eyes and appear here silently.
If this is said to be a complete coincidence, not only Bai Li, but even the baby in the pregnant orc's belly would not believe it.
Since the Dark Demon ship has come here, it means that there are more than a dozen pirates. Even if they kill all the pirates on this starship, the Dark Demon ship's artillery fire will probably blow the starship into dust in the next second.
Thinking of this, Bai Li's face darkened even more.
They were supposed to be having a happy trip, but they encountered something like this. I don’t know whether to say they were unlucky or lucky.
The Lion Mercenaries have always been the pirate gang that all the major empires want to catch, but their leader is extremely cunning and can successfully escape after each crime, leaving the warships that come to pursue them empty-handed.
If they can successfully capture this gang of space pirates this time, it will be a great achievement.
"Xiao Yi, what did the message you received say? How long will it take for the interstellar cruiser to arrive?"
"I didn't see the Dark Devil ship when I sent the message just now. The nearest interstellar cruiser will arrive within an hour, but now it seems that I have to send them a message and ask them to call for more reinforcements."
Yin Yi's face didn't look good either. He had clearly observed it after he came here, and there was no Black Magic Ship outside at that time. This Black Magic Ship only appeared ten minutes ago.
Now it seems that when Xiong Wei left just now, he did not go to find a comfortable VIP room to sleep as he said, but went back to the Black Magic Ship.
According to the information he had previously investigated, the Black Magic Ships of the Lion Mercenary Group were no less powerful than their military ships, and the ships were equipped with all the necessary attack and defense facilities.
There should be about three hundred space pirates in the Lion Mercenary Group, and the news he received showed that when the Prince of the Mifa Empire captured the second-in-command of the Lion Mercenary Group, Black Lion, a month ago, a total of one hundred and twenty space pirates were eliminated at the same time.
That is to say, now, in addition to the pirates on their starship, there are at least one hundred and fifty or sixty people on the Black Magic ship outside.
Their interstellar cruisers are only fully staffed with forty-five people each, and their firepower is not as good as that of the Black Demon ships. If they rush to rescue them rashly, they will not only alert the enemy but also increase unnecessary sacrifices.
The only way now is to wait for the interstellar cruiser to report to the military and ask the marshal to mobilize the nearest troops to rescue the hostages and wipe out the Lion Mercenary Group.
Yin Yi remembered the urgent message he had just sent, and only hoped that the interstellar cruiser had not been discovered by the Black Demon ship.
At the same time, the captain of the interstellar cruiser, who was ordering his subordinates to rush to the scene of the accident, widened his eyes in horror after receiving Yin Yi's message.
"Driver, slow down immediately."
Then he turned and shouted, "Signalman, immediately use the emergency communication request to contact Marshal Bai of Imperial Star! Quick!"
"yes!"
