Kuiper Belt
This area is densely populated with meteorites, and even alien spacecraft can only travel through it at less than 1% of the speed of light.
Outside the spaceship, every so often, a large meteorite would fly past quickly.
These meteorites varied in size and shape, but all traveled at extremely high speeds.
They narrowly missed the spaceship, a truly breathtaking moment.
Countless smaller meteorite fragments drifted throughout the Kuiper Belt like tiny snowflakes, dazzling the eye.
Although these small fragments are tiny, they move much faster, like ghosts, and could make close contact with the spaceship if one is not careful.
In response to this situation, the alien spaceship also had to raise its energy shield.
Inside the alien spaceship's command center, the leader and the other high-ranking interstellar pirates were all there, looking at the densely packed red dots on the detection map, feeling somewhat helpless.
One senior official complained, "The environment here is really terrible. I've been to so many star systems, but this is the first time I've encountered such a dense asteroid belt."
Moka smiled thoughtfully and said, "This meteorite zone is a natural protective layer, Chief. I suddenly have a new idea."
The alien leader looked interested and said, "Moka, just say what you're thinking."
Moka said, "I think we could enslave these humans. With this natural protective layer, we can turn this place into our base if we set it up properly."
The alien leader was taken aback. "Build a base? We are space pirates. If we are trapped in a fixed base, won't we lose our advantage?"
“There wasn’t a suitable place before, but this place is perfect. With some renovations, it will be an excellent base location,” Moka said confidently.
The alien leader thought for a moment and said, "This matter is not urgent. Let's discuss it after we capture the humans."
During the discussion among the high-ranking members of the alien pirates, a huge meteorite suddenly appeared in front of the spaceship, its size several times that of the alien spaceship.
The alien spacecraft immediately changed course to avoid the meteorite, which flew past it at a distance of tens of kilometers.
Just as the alien spaceship crew breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, a warship over a thousand meters long flew out from behind the meteorite.
As soon as the warship came out, it unleashed its full firepower, firing several thick laser beams, dozens of missiles, and electromagnetic cannon shells.
In an instant, these attacks landed on the alien spaceship's shield.
Inside the alien spaceship, the leader and high-ranking pirates were startled by the sudden attack, but they quickly regained their composure and began to order a counterattack.
The spaceship's intelligent system quickly identified the level of the attack and automatically initiated defenses.
Soon, the incoming missiles were intercepted by beams of particle cannons, but the laser cannons and the faster electromagnetic projectiles landed on the energy shield.
However, these attacks were clearly insufficient to break through the alien spaceship's energy shield; they merely created ripples on it.
Upon seeing this, the high-ranking alien pirates inside the spaceship showed little joy; instead, their expressions were rather unpleasant.
A high-ranking alien pirate roared, "Antimatter cannon! How could human civilization possess an antimatter cannon? This is a weapon that only a Level 2 civilization can wield!"
The alien leader ignored his roar, his eyes fixed on the warship rapidly approaching, and ordered, "Destroy this warship!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of particle cannons on the alien spaceship simultaneously fired particles at the speed of light, heading towards the human warship.
The human warships did not back down; instead, they immediately fired a barrage of antimatter projectiles in front of them, creating an antimatter shield.
At the same time, hundreds of space fighters flew out from both sides of the spacecraft and attacked the alien spacecraft from all directions.
The particles on the alien spaceship, traveling at the speed of light, were completely neutralized the moment they came into contact with the antimatter shield.
However, following these particles at the speed of light, even more particles at the speed of light continued to arrive.
During the second wave, the antimatter shields of the human spaceships were neutralized.
Immediately, the human warship was pierced through by countless particles traveling at the speed of light.
After a dazzling explosion, the human warship shattered into countless pieces and disappeared into the vastness of space.
However, the battle did not stop. Hundreds of space fighters that had been launched were heading straight for the alien spaceship from several directions with a fearless attitude.
The laser cannons mounted on these fighter jets fired continuously, leaving flashes on the protective shields.
The pirate leaders inside the alien spaceship were relieved to see this.
With that little firepower, it's barely enough to tickle them!
"Chief, why don't we let the brothers go out and have some fun, and personally wipe out these humans?" a high-ranking alien pirate said, unable to hide his excitement.
His gaze was fixed on the spaceplanes, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.
At this moment, his heart was filled with a desire for killing. He had not experienced the thrill of battle for too long, and the stimulation of tearing enemies apart made his body tremble involuntarily.
The leader looked at this high-ranking official and understood his thoughts.
These space pirates are inherently fond of killing; for them, battle is an irresistible temptation.
"Alright, since you want to go, then go ahead. However, I must remind you that if you discover any abnormalities, you must immediately return to the spaceship's protected area and absolutely must not linger in battle."
The leader nodded, agreeing to the high-ranking official's request.
He knew that sending these pirates out to fight was also a way to vent his emotions.
The long space voyage had made them anxious and restless; a thrilling battle might be able to soothe their nerves.
"Thank you, leader! Brothers, follow me and let's enjoy the thrill of killing!" The high-ranking officer turned around excitedly and shouted into his headset.
Before long, thousands of alien pirates, piloting fighter jets, surged out of the alien spaceship like locusts and rushed towards the human spaceplane.
They were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye they were close to the human fleet.
Humanity's spaceplanes are already a generation behind these alien spaceplanes, and their numbers are also insufficient.
Upon initial contact, dozens of them were shot down, and within three minutes of engagement, more than half of the spaceplanes were destroyed.
However, the remaining spaceplanes, knowing they were doomed, fought desperately, hoping to fire as many laser cannons as possible before being destroyed!
Unfortunately, while the wish was beautiful, the reality was cruel. The laser cannons fired by human space fighters could only hit a handful of the faster alien fighters.
Even if it hits, it cannot cause fatal damage to the alien fighter.
Inside the alien spaceship, the high-ranking members of the interstellar pirates watched the life-or-death struggle outside with cold smiles on their faces—or more accurately, a one-sided massacre.
