Death List
The mercenary group recruited by Caster Island is notorious throughout the entire galaxy.
As long as they can get the money, they will do anything. Even the space pirate gangs will have to retreat if they encounter them.
This time, Caster Island specifically looked for this group of people with the purpose of completely eliminating the SSS-level Achilles.
Their idea is simple: if these top-level males cannot surrender, they must be eliminated.
After the two sides agreed on a hefty reward, the mercenary group led their troops towards the planet where the Dark Forest Tribe was located.
On the other side, Achir has landed on a C-class planet with Anrita, and plans to take a merchant ship here to return to the planet of his tribe.
Anita recognized the place when the merchant ship entered the planet's orbit.
The last time Gal was on a mission here, she and Cody and others came to support and connected from this interstellar dock.
This is actually a Class B planet with very advanced technology and resources, and strict management. Mercenaries and pirate gangs dare not set foot here.
Since Anrita was a rare female and was pregnant, Aqir held her in his arms all the way.
She was wrapped in a furry cloak and her wide hat brim almost completely covered her face.
Aqier lowered his head and asked softly: "The journey is still long, do you want to sleep for a while?"
Anrita didn't sleep a wink the whole way, and he was really worried that she was tired.
Anita shook her head: "I'm not sleepy..."
She hesitated for a moment, then took advantage of the moment when Aqir disembarked from the flying ship to lower her voice and ask, "The people from Caster Island have been chasing you. Is it really safe for us to go back here now?"
At this moment, Aqir's mind was full of Anrita and he didn't consider his own safety at all.
He lowered his voice and explained:
"Don't worry they'll chase us. This planet has a high level of defense. Even if they do, our specially designed spacecraft won't be able to enter the planetary territory, so they'll have to switch to merchant ships. But if they do, a large number of males entering will attract the attention of the interstellar patrols, so they'll have to come in batches."
He went on to elaborate, "This will greatly reduce their combat effectiveness. Perhaps you don't know, but the warriors of our tribe have a spiritual power level of at least A-level, and most are above S-level. This is more than enough to deal with these mercenary groups."
This is the tribe's secret.
When Achilles was on Caster Island, although he revealed his identity and level of spiritual power, he rarely mentioned anything about the tribe.
If a tribe wants to survive for a long time, unity is only the foundation, and being strong enough is the key.
Anita was very surprised after hearing this.
She remembered that a few months ago, the overall strength of the Dark Forest Tribe was not so strong, with only Achilles being at the SSS level.
It's only been a few months, and the overall level has improved so much?
She looked at Aqir and asked softly, "Are the warriors of your tribe really that powerful?"
She guessed that it was probably the spiritual fruit she left behind when she left that took effect.
No wonder Achilles, who never left the tribe, dared to leave hundreds of people behind when he went out. It turned out that the level of the tribesmen had been upgraded.
Aqir nodded and said frankly, "Because everyone in the tribe has eaten the spiritual fruit from the Dark Forest, which can enhance mental strength. Coupled with the special training I gave them, the effect is very obvious."
He still had one spiritual fruit left. He had previously given one to Caster Island in exchange for a super-strong inhibitor. Later, that spiritual fruit was auctioned off at a sky-high price.
Anrita was even more surprised: "Did everyone in your tribe eat the spiritual fruit? Do you have that many?"
She remembered that she didn't leave much behind when she left. There were only about seventy or eighty males in the tribe, which was not enough to go around.
Achilles held Anita in his arms and sat down at the public transportation platform to wait for the public aircraft that they would take back to the Dark Forest.
He hid nothing from Anrita, and seemed willing to tell her everything: "A fully mature spiritual fruit is full of spiritual energy. Cutting one into dozens of pieces and sharing them has a good effect."
Although it is not as good as eating the whole thing, it can at least promote the improvement of mental strength and make it easier to upgrade.
This was the first time Anrita had heard of this. She widened her eyes slightly and said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is."
Could she then use the spiritual fruits to make nutrient solution and provide it to Eugene and Begway's armies to enhance their overall strength?
When Anrita left the Dark Forest, she dug up all the spiritual fruits.
Since these spiritual plants could not be grown in ordinary soil, she placed them in her own spiritual sea, together with the Spirit Tree of Life, and let them be nourished by the Spirit Tree of Life.
A few months later, the spiritual fruit plants have taken root and blossomed in the spiritual sea. I think with the nourishment of the spiritual tree of life, we will be able to harvest another batch of spiritual fruits soon.
They returned to the vicinity of the Dark Forest at dusk.
Today, the Dark Forest is no longer dark, and the tribesmen no longer live in the forest. Instead, they live in caves dug in the nearby mountains.
But when Achilles was away, the other males were eager to leave the forest and explore the world, waiting for him to come back and lead the team.
Anita looked at the dark mountains in the distance, feeling a little helpless.
She had finally managed to leave here last time, but unexpectedly, by chance, she was brought back by Archer, who once regarded her as an enemy.
After Aqir got off the public aircraft with Anita in his arms, he took out his newly purchased smart computer and sent a message to the Archbishop: [Archbishop, I'm back! Where are you?]
When he left, the tribesmen were still living in the Dark Forest. Later, because everyone was not used to the strong light, the archbishop took them to a cold valley and dug a cave in the shade as a temporary residence.
His return this time was very sudden. He had just told the archbishop two days ago that he would not be back for a while, but he came back with the little female.
Anita watched Aqir finish sending the message and asking the Archbishop to pick them up, then she said softly:
"Can I borrow your AI for a moment? I want to send a message to my partner."
Her black jade eyes stared at Aqir eagerly.
Archer was silent. Deep down in his heart, he didn't want Anrita to contact that useless man again.
In Achilles' opinion, a rare female like Anita should be protected by the most outstanding and strongest male, and the guy whom he regarded as a straw bag was not worthy of Anita at all.
But the reality is that Anita has other male partners.
He could stop Anrita from contacting Valua, but he couldn't stop her from contacting other males.
What's more, now that Anita has been brought to this strange planet by him, it is normal for her to contact her partners to report her safety.
Archer even secretly speculated that if given a choice, Anrita might also hope that her friends would come here to pick her up.
After all, Anrita didn't belong here, and she had no choice but to follow him this time.
No matter how much Archer didn't want to admit it, he knew that Anrita couldn't stay here forever.
After a few seconds of silence, Aqir finally said nothing. He took the intelligent computer from his wrist and handed it to Anrita, saying in a gentle voice:
"Go ahead. This is a newly bought AI. I used someone else's ID card. At least for now, I won't be tracked by the people on Caster Island. It's safe."
As he said this, he placed the intelligent computer in Anritsu's palm.
Anrita took the intelligent computer, got down from Archer's arms, and put her feet on the ground.
At this moment, they were standing at the entrance of a valley not far from the Black Forest. The surroundings were quiet with only the occasional sound of wind passing by.
The ground was covered with messy gravel and wet mud, with a faint earthy smell.
Anita held the smart computer and did not dial immediately.
She frowned slightly in thought, wondering who to call first.
Her first reaction was to call Begway.
After all, she was pregnant with Begwe's child, and this little life was growing quietly in her belly. She was eager to share this good news with Begwe.
Begwe had always longed to have a baby, and Anrita knew how eager he was for a child.
But she quickly calmed down.
Begway is at his busiest now. He has heavy responsibilities on the main planet and cannot leave easily.
If he knew that Anita was pregnant and came to this dark forest full of unknown dangers, given his personality, he would definitely be anxious and restless.
It would be disastrous if he left the main planet on impulse, regardless of danger, and was assassinated by someone with bad intentions in the dangerous interstellar space.
Under Archer's gaze, Anrita thought for a long time and finally dialed Valua's number.
Anrita carefully considered choosing Valua.
Achilles had met Valua before, so if he called him, Achilles shouldn't be suspicious.
At the same time, in the vast interstellar space, Eugene's warship was moving at full speed.
Suddenly, Eugene's face became serious because he found that the warships had encountered a group of flying ships from the Caster Island Mercenary Corps.
Both sides realized each other's intentions almost at the same time, and both knew that the other was chasing Archer.
The only difference is that their positions are completely different. Eugene's side is going to rescue Anita, while the mercenary group wants to kill Achille, and even plans to kidnap Anita to achieve their goal.
When Knox saw the iconic pattern of the enemy fleet, his face immediately darkened and he said in a cold tone:
"They are mercenaries. If you pay them enough, they will do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth."
His voice was filled with disgust. The notoriety of the mercenary group was well known across the galaxy.
Gar also looked disgusted and said with a pout:
"I've heard of their reputation. In the depths of the universe, they're known as notorious vampires. Compared to them, those usually despised space pirate groups are considered kind."
Eugene stared at the track traces of both sides on the display screen, his brows furrowed, his face grim, and he said in a deep voice:
"From what we can see, their orbit is consistent with ours. Could it be that their destination is also Achill's planet? How did they locate Achill? What do they want to do with Achill?"
He had an ominous premonition in his heart. If the mercenaries arrived first, Anrita would definitely be in danger.
Knox's voice was cold:
"The guards on Caster Island are very weak, so missions are always issued in the form of bounties. Perhaps this time, they offered the mission bounty to the mercenaries. As a defector from Caster Island, Achir is already on their death list."
