"Lin Tao, their spaceship is a modified high-speed spaceship, and they must have deliberately slowed down its speed."

Zheng Cheng did not use the mecha to communicate, but used a watch.

Due to the special nature of the watch, even the communications are highly encrypted and cannot be cracked by ordinary people. However, if the mecha communication encounters a skilled person, it can be cracked on the spot.

Lin Tao nodded: "I have already seen it."

After chasing eight mechas for a while, the improved radar of Tianjia Shenjiang had scanned the logos of the opponent's three spaceships. No matter how Lin Tao chased them from behind, even suppressing his speed to the same as that of the opponent's mechas, the three spaceships actually maintained the same speed.

According to the novel, the speed of the Star Pirates' first-launch spaceship is generally about 1.5-2 times faster than that of the Star Battleship. But now, the opponent actually maintains a speed similar to that of the mecha. How could Lin Tao not understand it in his heart?

The opponent wanted to drag the enemy until his mecha ran out of energy so that he could capture him alive on the spot. This was a common thing in later space pirate novels.

Looking at the time, almost six hours have passed, which is the limit of the mecha's energy blocks at this time.

"The other party should be turning back soon." Lin Tao said.

"Do we want to deal with them all at once?" Zheng Cheng asked.

"Haha~" Lin Tao laughed: "If there wasn't a video with deterrent power, wouldn't those space pirates have directly entered Mingyuan Star?"

Zheng Cheng didn't say anything else.

At this moment, Lin Tao suddenly saw the light spots in front of the radar, representing the three enemy spaceships, suddenly stopped.

"They are about to turn back, you guys just wait here first." After saying that, Lin Tao hung up the phone.

After the three captains communicated with each other, they counted the time on their fingers and found that the energy of their eight mechas would soon be seen, and the mecha masters were also calling for help.

The charismatic captain finally made up his mind: "Look back, the energy source of that mecha should not be much better. Let's go over there and recycle the mecha directly."

"Hmph! I want to see what kind of mecha is able to kill more than forty of our mechas in a short period of time, and what kind of mecha pilot is in the cockpit." The captain narrowed his eyes, and his eyes shot out a wolf-like gaze, with a hint of sinisterness in his excitement.

A mecha without energy is like scrap metal. Once it is forcibly recycled, the mecha pilot in the cockpit will not only be unable to detonate the mecha, but will even be at the mercy of others.

The three spaceships returned very quickly, but because they took too long, the eight mechas ran out of energy before the spaceships approached, and floated in space due to inertia.

Seeing this, Lin Tao also reduced the speed of the aircraft to the minimum to avoid alerting the high-speed spacecraft.

The three spaceships accelerated once again.

Mechas without energy will float in space, and due to inertia, they will maintain a certain speed. Once they are beyond the search range, they will remain in outer space completely and even radar cannot detect them.

Looking at the radar markings, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

Soon, a huge beam of light came from afar, accompanied by the roar of the spacecraft engine.

Lin Tao remained silent.

It was not until the distance between the two sides was about two kilometers that Lin Tao started all the engines. In human form, the modified Tianjia Shenjiang could start five engines at the same time.

With a loud bang, the engine started up and the mecha rushed forward. In a short time, it reached 400km/h. This speed has long exceeded the speed of using the main engine alone. Moreover, in space, there is no gravity, and the speed continues to rise.

"Oh no, the other party is cheating!" The three captains were shocked, but the distance between the two sides was less than two kilometers, and it would take some time to turn around and leave.

During this time, Lin Tao had already caught up.

Crack! Crack! The mecha split into seven parts, two parts in a group, and rushed towards the three spaceships respectively.

In an instant, they had entered the other party's spaceship. After entering, it was like entering an uninhabited place. In less than a minute, the three spaceships turned into three balls of fire, illuminating this part of the universe.

After the battle, Lin Tao immediately contacted Zheng Cheng.

On the way, Lin Tao also rescued the Star Pirates' mechas. Five of the eight mechas were close to the spaceship and were turned into wreckage in the explosion. As for the people on the spaceship, they became dust in the universe along with the explosion of the spaceship.

After returning to the spaceship, Lin Tao put the mecha back to the designated compartment and came out of the cockpit.

The three mechas of the Star Pirates are all quite high-end humanoid machines, and are also quite popular items in Skynet.

Zheng Cheng led a group of people, holding hot weapons in their hands, and shouted to the Star Pirates in the mecha: "Everyone, come out of the mecha, we will not kill the surrendered prisoners."

After the two sides were deadlocked for a while, the cockpit of one of the mechas opened, and a space pirate in a space suit stepped out.

Because of the mask on his head, no one could see the man's face clearly.

With his appearance, the mecha pilots in the other machines also came out.

"I accept surrender, but I have a condition." The mecha pilot who appeared first stood at the cockpit door and raised his hand to take off his space helmet. He was a man over forty years old and looked strong.

"Your mecha has run out of energy, your spaceship has been destroyed, and the people have been rescued by us. You can only surrender unconditionally." Zheng Cheng snorted.

The man in his forties saw that Zheng Cheng was the leader of the group, and he shrugged and smiled at Zheng Cheng: "As a mecha master, you can destroy more than 40 of our mechas in a short period of time, and you can also sink three high-speed spacecraft in less than two minutes. Tell me, don't we want to get to know you?"

At this time, the other two mecha masters also took off their space helmets. After they took a long breath, they echoed in unison.

"Yes, we all want to meet that mecha master."

"We will not surrender unless we see him in person."

…

The three mecha masters had no intention of being imprisoned, but instead kept shouting loudly.

In the distance, Lin Tao, who saw this scene, smiled and said, "They are indeed the Star Pirates."

In later novels, the Star Pirates will not surrender willingly even if they are imprisoned unless their conditions are met. Of course, these conditions will be put forward as mecha masters and will not be too excessive.

Having read these Star Pirates novels carefully, Lin Tao now vaguely guessed what conditions the other party wanted to propose.

If the mecha division is defeated by a clever plan, they will meet with the opponent's commander. If they are defeated by the mecha, they will ask to meet the opponent's mecha division.

They want to see whether the person who defeated them can make them submit from the bottom of their hearts.

Once the Star Pirates surrender, they will become free subordinates, and most of the Star Pirates who can make these requests are loyal.

Of course, these are all records in novels.

Lin Tao once had a yearning for the Star Pirates, and at this moment, he was moved and walked forward.

"You want to see me?" Lin Tao said with a smile.

“Brother Lin!”

"Brother Lin."

When the Blood Wolf Gang members saw Lin Tao, they immediately called out respectfully.

The man in his forties saw this scene and looked at Lin Tao quickly: "Are you the mecha master?"

Not only him, but even the remaining two star pirates also looked at Lin Tao.

Although Lin Tao was covered in muscles, his face was extremely young. At first glance, he looked less than 20 years old. Such a young man was actually the mecha commander who sank more than 40 of their mechas and three high-speed spaceships.

The three of them couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it's me." Lin Tao nodded.

"Where is the mecha?" the man in his forties asked in a deep voice.

Lin Tao stretched out his hand and pointed to the cabin at the other end. At this time, the improved version of Tianjia Shenjiang had returned to the cabin, and from their direction, they could not see the body of the machine.

"How much energy does your body have?"

"Only less than 30% was consumed." Lin Tao replied.

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

"Our mechas have already run out of energy, but how come yours still has most of its energy left?"

The three Star Pirates were greatly shocked, with expressions of disbelief written all over their faces.

After a moment, the man who was over 40 years old had a gleam in his eyes, and suddenly pointed at Lin Tao and shouted: "You...you are the mecha master who sank seven spaceships on Mingyuan Star?"

Regarding the battle on Mingyuan Star, Lin Tao had asked Zheng Tuo to make a video and send it out in order to shock everyone. There are several planets under the control of the Interstellar Federation near Mingyuan Star, but once this video is released, they will have to gather at least a hundred spaceships before they dare to launch an attack. This will give Lin Tao an opportunity to develop.

Lin Tao nodded.

"Good! Good! Very good!" The man in his forties laughed and cheered: "I have decided to surrender. My name is Xu Yuanliang. They are two brothers. This one is Wu Zhi and he is Wu Jun. They are both my men."

"When the mecha was running out of energy, they were closest to me, so we were not affected by the explosion of the spacecraft. If you believe me, the three of us will surrender to you and become your people." Xu Yuanliang laughed.

Is that it?

Lin Tao was stunned. The situation before him was just like the plot in the novel Star Pirates, almost a repeating pattern.

"Lin Tao, do you really want to accept them?" Zheng Cheng frowned on the side. He had always lived inside the planet and knew nothing about the star pirates.

Lin Tao also frowned deeply.

Xu Yuanliang and others kept looking at Lin Tao with a smile, wanting to see if Lin Tao had the courage to accept them.

"Okay, I can accept you, but I have a question." After a moment of silence, Lin Tao raised his head and glanced at the three people, then his eyes fell on the leader Xu Yuanliang: "However, if I meet your Star Pirates again, what will you choose?"

"We are all sky pirates with no fixed place to live. Since we have been defeated by you, we are yours." Xu Yuanliang's face became serious and he said in a deep voice: "However, as sky pirates, if there is another person who is stronger than you who defeats us, we will also choose to surrender."

"By then, we will be enemies." Xu Yuanliang's eyes flashed when he said this.

These words clearly state that whoever you follow, you belong to that person, and you will turn against your former companions on the spot.

This is the Star Pirates.
