A group of ten people was led by Yin Yi and Bai Li, with the guards and two other orcs following behind, protecting the females and half-orcs in the middle. They carefully avoided the pirates and the surveillance cameras on the Black Magic ship along the way and walked towards the stern of the ship.
“Da da da—”
"Damn it, the hostage escaped, chase him!"
"Hurry up, the little princess ran away, chase her!"
Just as they carefully turned a corner, they heard a chaotic sound of footsteps and the shouts of pirates from the other side.
The little princess of the Mifa Empire came face to face with ten people as soon as she turned a corner.
The little princess's panicked eyes lit up instantly when she saw the ten people who were also hostages, and she tightly grabbed the sleeve of Bai Li, who was closest to her.
"Are you guys running away too? Take me with you, okay?"
Before Bai Li could speak, the pirates behind the little princess caught up and saw the people fleeing.
"They are here, and several other hostages have also escaped. Stop them!"
Although Yin Yi dealt with the pirates in the first place, their whereabouts were exposed, and the footsteps of the pirates rushing over could be heard everywhere.
"Damn it."
Bai Li cursed under his breath and didn't bother to refuse the little princess. He raised his hand and fired a few shots at the pirates who were chasing him.
Because the little princess was exposed, the already difficult escape became even more difficult.
Together with Jiang Wan, they only had six combat-capable people, but there were nearly two hundred pirates on the Black Demon ship, which was dozens of times more than their number.
If all these pirates came, they would have no chance of escape.
"Our whereabouts have been exposed. We must rush to the rear cabin as quickly as possible. Everyone, maintain formation. We are moving forward at full speed."
Yin Yi listened to the footsteps of the pirates, his face solemn, and made a decision immediately. The other people also knew that the situation was urgent and nodded in agreement.
Yin Yi looked at the disheveled and embarrassed little princess of the Mifa Empire and said in a cold and hard voice, "Since you want to follow us, then all actions will be under my command. If you can do that, we can take you with us. If not, then please do as you please."
The little princess nodded immediately and said, "I can do that. I promise to listen to you, as long as you can take me with you."
"Go to the back."
After giving the order, Yin Yi and Bai Li rushed out from the corner, each holding two guns, and they would shoot if they saw any pirates in front of them.
Jiang Wan and Yu Rou followed closely behind the two of them with the orcs. The three orcs behind them retreated with guns in hand and followed at the end of the team to prevent any sneak attacks from behind.
Fortunately, everyone cooperated very well and no one dragged their feet to delay the progress. Soon everyone arrived at the hatch where the escape ship was parked.
"Damn it, it's the latest photon lock!"
When Bai Li saw the lock on the cabin door, he cursed under his breath with an ugly expression.
Among all his subjects, optoelectronics was his worst. If he were to open the lock, it would take at least five minutes. By that time, the pirates would have surrounded them.
"I'll do it."
Yin Yi took a look at the lock, put away the energy gun in his hand, took out a small optical computer from the space ring, connected it to the door lock, and operated the optical computer with his fingers quickly.
Bai Li immediately retreated to the back and led the orcs to be on guard, so as to eliminate those people before the pirates caught up.
Time passed minute by minute, and more and more pirates came chasing after them. The pressure on the four orcs suddenly increased. The brown bear orc was accidentally hit by the pirates on the left shoulder and right leg, and a gap immediately appeared in the protective circle.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan stepped forward without hesitation to fill that person's position. With his accurate shooting skills, he protected the orcs behind him tightly.
Seeing that Jiang Wan had already taken the lead, Yu Rou clenched the energy gun in her hand and looked at Bai Li who was protecting her firmly behind him. Finally, she mustered up the courage and followed Jiang Wan's example, raising the gun in her hand and aiming at the enemy in the distance.
Two minutes later, with a "click", the hatch finally opened. Yin Yi immediately moved sideways to let the orcs behind him go in first, and he came to Jiang Wan with a gun.
"Wanwan, the door is open, hurry in."
"good."
Although he agreed verbally, Jiang Wan just retreated while exchanging fire with the pirates in the distance.
After seeing that all the orcs had gone in, they began to retreat while fighting. Yin Yi and Bai Li were always at the back of the crowd. After making sure that everyone had gone in, the two of them slipped in and closed the hatch.
After ensuring the hatch was tightly closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the two civilian orcs even collapsed directly to the ground.
It was the first time for them to encounter such a dangerous situation, and also the first time for them to shoot and fight with others.
They didn't feel anything before, but now that they were safe, they both realized that their hands holding the guns were shaking.
Seeing Jiang Wan standing there with a calm expression, the two of them suddenly felt ashamed.
She is a female, but she was able to fight the pirates with a gun and killed many of them. Now that the battle is over, she is still calm.
Looking at myself again, I was almost scared to death. It was such a disgrace to the orcs.
"They can't break through this door for now. Let's get on the escape ship and leave."
The Lion Mercenary Group is really rich. They have prepared eight escape ships, all of which are medium-sized escape ships, each of which can carry up to fifty people.
Yin Yi directly put the other seven escape ships into his space ring and took everyone on board the remaining one.
After briefly understanding the operating procedures of the escape ship, Yin Yi asked everyone to sit down.
Then the ejection button on the escape ship was pressed, and the ceiling above the escape ship slowly slid to both sides. Then, a mechanical broadcast sounded on the control panel of the escape ship.
"The escape ship has been activated and is entering the ejection countdown. Ten, nine, eight..."
Xiong Wei and his men finally managed to blast open the hatch. After entering, they saw that there was only one lifeboat left in the huge cabin, which was about to be launched.
"Damn it! Knock them down for me!"
Xiong Wei was so angry that he started cursing. These people were so unsportsmanlike that they actually took away all the lifeboats that he had bought at such a high price.
The minions behind him quickly came over with energy cannons, intending to blast the escape ship away.
Just as he took aim, he was knocked to the ground by a huge gust of air.
After finally getting up, all I saw was the escape ship sailing away.
"Chief, the distance is too far, the energy cannon can't reach it."
The minion reported to Xiong Wei with a bitter face.
"Don't I know? I need you to tell me!"
Xiong Wei kicked it angrily, "Who ordered the installation of this broken hatch in the first place? Why was it installed so firmly? If this broken door wasn't so difficult to break open, I would have captured all those damn hostages long ago!"
The little minion stood aside, clutching his stomach, feeling aggrieved and muttering inwardly, "Didn't you, Chief, install this door yourself? You even insisted on using the latest photon lock, saying it was the only way to keep it safe. How could you have forgotten now?"
