Chapter 41
Daniel thought to himself, although he was only a subordinate of the second leader Heyman, he was not a fool. He had hoped to become the third leader, but was suppressed by that damn jealous Heyman.
After Heyman's death, he thought he had a chance, but Angelo refused to mention anything and never appointed a second leader... But it didn't matter. He had endured humiliation for so many years, and it was time to reckon with the consequences.
Daniel's eagle-like eyes swept over Yu Xie and Angelo, then pointed at the door of the armory and said, "Angelo, this armory is the lifeline of the Blue Scarf Pirates. Now you bring this... heh, friend, directly to the armory without telling us. The armory is the lifeblood of us pirates. Every weapon here was snatched back by everyone at the cost of their lives. It is the foundation of our survival on the deserted planet. Where do you put the opinions of us ordinary pirates? Are we slaves who can do whatever you want?"
Angelo narrowed his eyes, with a hint of vigilance in them. Daniel was usually like a turtle with its head huddled in. Angelo said one thing and the other party dared not go back on it.
He didn't understand why the other party suddenly became so tough. Who was he relying on? Could it be...
"Big Chief! Big Chief!" A star thief suddenly squeezed in and whispered a few words in Angelo's ear.
Angelo looked calm and nodded to the Star Thief Bug, signaling that it was okay. Then he looked at Yu Xie deeply and said, "Remember what you promised me."
"Of course." Yu Xie smiled and said, "I always keep my word."
Daniel was completely confused and felt that he might have missed some part of the story. Just as he was wondering, another pirate came running over and whispered something in Daniel's ear.
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Daniel got angry. He took out his gun and shot at Angelo's feet with a bang: "Angelo! You are crazy!"
"What are you doing! Are you going to rebel?!" Angelo glared, and the insects around him immediately pulled out their guns and confronted the insects on Daniel's side.
Daniel said sinisterly, "Why would I rebel? The position of the chief pirate is held by the most capable person! If I kill you today, I will be the chief of the Blue Scarf Pirates! Why would I rebel?!"
Then, he shouted to the pirates: "You all don't know! The warship of the Third Army of the Noliflan Empire is outside now. The one leading the troops is Fu Qing, the murderer who killed the second leader! And now! Our leader! Just agreed to open the gate of the base and let Fu Qing in!"
"What?" "Is it true?" "I don't know, but the star thief that just came over is indeed responsible for guarding the gate." "Ah, how could this be..."
Daniel loaded his gun and looked excited. He didn't know why today was a good day. It was simply a chance sent from heaven, a day for him to turn things around: "Angiluo, Fu Qing is outside the door, and you are bringing a strange insect into the armory! What are you thinking? You are not going to surrender to the Empire and give us all as gifts to that insect emperor of Nolifranc, are you?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Angelo pulled out a gun and pointed it at Daniel's head. "If I wanted to surrender, why would I have waited until today? I surrendered last year! If it weren't for that stupid bug Heyman! Would I have taken you guys to recuperate for nearly a year! Who do you think has helped the Blue Scarf Pirates to survive to this point today? You?"
There was a reason why Fu Qing surrounded and suppressed the Blue Scarf Star Pirates back then. It was because Heyman was a lowly/meteor thief who liked to play with insects. He also took a fancy to the little prince who was playing on the Trade Star. He didn't expect that the ultimate goal was not achieved, but he got himself involved. It was a pity that other star pirates were implicated as well.
The Blue Scarf Pirates have been weakened for nearly a year, and many equally powerful pirate groups have begun to stir, trying to annex the Blue Scarf and dominate the public star domain.
Although a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, the Blue Scarf still can't hold on for long. That's why Anqiluo took the risk to trade with Yu Rui and the mysterious bugs, hoping to exchange minerals and weapons from these malicious noble bugs to restore the glory of the Blue Scarf Star Pirates.
Scarface took the opportunity to shout, "Yes! Don't be fooled by some malicious bugs! When has the Big Chief ever harmed us? Do you still not trust the Big Chief?!"
Angelo originally had absolute authority in the Star Pirates Group. After hearing what they said, the Star Pirates at the scene immediately stopped questioning and all followed the leader's lead.
Angelo: "Open the door!"
The door of the armory burst open. It was a huge cargo spaceship, originally used to transport heavy metal products such as aircraft, but now it was converted into an armory by Angelo.
The interior of the armory was vast and deep. The moment the door opened, all the lights inside were turned on one by one. The cold white light shone on the weapons and combat armor, emitting a chilling light.
Anqiluoyou stepped in first, followed closely by Yuxie.
The remaining pirates, including Scarface, Daniel, and others, were still confronting each other at the gate, refusing to give in.
"What do you think? The pirate gang's jokes are pretty funny, right?" Angelo pursed his lips and had no expression on his face. His tone was calm and indifferent, but his eyes were filled with anger.
"Not bad. I always thought only male insects from noble families would be weird." Yu Xie smiled, thinking of the few weak insects from noble families he had met before, he added: "Weak and arrogant."
Angelo couldn't help but laugh, and said as he walked, "Aren't you a male insect from the noble tribe?"
"Hmm... yeah." Yu Xiu was absent-minded. He took out a cigarette and put it to his nose and sniffed it. He thought to himself, I'm so sleepy, wife.
"Fu Qing... would he be treated like this by the noble bugs? He is a major general of the empire, he should be living a good life, right?" An Qiluo finally managed to utter these words.
Yuxi bit the cigarette and shook his head: "He didn't have a good life, it was very hard... Well, at least that was the case before he met me."
Tsk… Angelo sneered: “Sure enough, these noble bugs treat everyone the same! Will he fight back? I will kill all the bugs that bullied me. Humph, I will make them regret coming to this world!”
Yuxie nodded in agreement: "I also hope he can do that...but he has teachers and seniors, and many ties. He will think a lot, so he won't do that. He looks cold, but his heart is soft."
An Qiluo snorted coldly: "The soft-hearted female insect will die sooner or later."
"Well...so I will fight back for him, and no one can hurt him." Yu Xie curled the corners of his mouth, his face gentle.
When Angelo saw Yuxie's expression, a hint of envy flashed across his eyes. He snorted and turned his head away without saying anything else.
After a few words, they arrived at the storage area of the mutant energy weapons. Angelo pointed at the weapons in front of him and said, "I guess that old guy won't give me the latest weapons. These are probably obsolete, but they are already very useful."
"This pistol can cause the female insect to twitch and become paralyzed instantly, which is no different from being dead, because the mental strength will be greatly damaged." An Qiluo picked up a silver-white pistol, which looked similar to the one An Qiluo played with before, but was a little bigger.
After that, Angelo picked up another saber: "This saber has a switch. The wound caused by turning it on is very difficult to heal. It also damages the female insect's mental strength, but not as much as the pistol."
"There are only two types of personal weapons, one in each box. The most powerful one is that one." Angelo pointed to the back of Yu Xie, where a gray-black battle armor stood. The surface of the battle armor was worn a lot, and it was obvious that it was a frequent visitor on the battlefield. A light energy cannon was embedded in the right arm of the battle armor, and the muzzle was black, which gave Yu Xie a sense of foreboding.
"Once any combat armor is hit by this cannon, no matter where it is hit, the entire combat armor will be destroyed." Angelo frowned and spoke word by word: "To be honest, I don't know who the opponent is, nor do I know what research the opponent is doing, but this mutant energy seems to be contagious. It... seems to be alive."
Alive?
Yu Xie frowned, thinking of the black lines that once dominated his glands, the black energy in Fu Qinghe's body that seemed like a living thing, and the black mist that erupted from the needle hole after Doctor Chong injected him with medicine.
Are these all mutant energies?
There was a sudden noise at the door, and Doctor Bug rushed in and shouted to Angelo, "Captain, Fu Qing is here, but Daniel is like crazy and won't let Fu Qing in. Scarface and Daniel are fighting, we..."
The moment he heard Fu Qing's name, Yu Xie ran out. He felt that something was wrong with Daniel, and Fu Qing couldn't be out there alone...
…
Fu Qing, Lu Lin and a dozen other female soldiers stood at the door of the armory. His pure white military uniform was neat and tidy, like inviolable ice and snow. His delicate white face was cold and aloof, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.
Scarface and Daniel, who were tumbling and hurting each other, were separated by Fu Qing's scabbard. It can only be said that she is worthy of being an SS-level military female. This skill is probably many times better than Angelo.
This was the first time that the Star Pirates came face to face with Fu Qing, a real face to face. Only then did they know why Fu Qing could be called the sharp blade and glory of the empire.
Before meeting Fu Qing, almost every Star Pirate Bug had imagined Fu Qing's situation, a lackey of the empire, a vassal of the Bug Emperor, and an accomplice of the nobles. They spit at him with vicious words and swore that they would make him look bad if they met him again. However, when they really met Fu Qing face to face, they didn't even have the courage to question him.
"What are you doing here?" Daniel was impatient and annoyed. He finally caught Angelo's tail and wanted to take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. Why is there always a bug messing around? "Why, isn't it enough to kill our second leader? Are you going to wipe out the entire Blue Scarf Star Pirates? What kind of deal did you make with Angelo? Did he surrender? Is he going to be a running dog of the Empire too?"
The female insects who become star pirates are basically those abandoned by the empire or those who have nowhere to go. They do not respect the empire and its laws, but rather feel that they are a kind of restraint that will destroy their freedom.
"Everyone, rest assured. The military has no intention of encircling and suppressing you today. The public star field is the territory of the star pirates. You have your own rules. We are very clear about this. As long as you do not infringe on the star field and the safety of the insect people of the Noliflan Empire, you can handle everything yourselves." Fu Qing's tone was light, but his attitude was equal and polite. He did not look down on any pirates at all, which made the surrounding pirates very satisfied.
"If you think the second leader died unjustly, why don't you give us a reason? Let us help you judge." Yu Xie walked out of the armory, and his deep and powerful voice reached the ears of every star pirate.
