Three days later, the Royal Glory appeared on the edge of the Holmes Nebula.

According to Zhang Tianjiu, there is an interstellar waterway hidden here, because many of the routes are hidden between the asteroid belt and the meteor belt, which is full of dangers, because this interstellar waterway has long been abandoned and no one uses it.

Civil airlines are absolutely forbidden to take such dangerous routes, because insurance companies simply do not commit to insurance for such routes.

Knowing that the probability of the end is more than 70 percent, whoever goes out of his way to protect him is a fool.

Warships are also easily out of danger.

Not necessarily.

But such a channel often becomes the choice of smuggling ships.

The risks are high, and so are the profits.

At the same time, pirates are also fond of keeping an eye on this type of shipping lane. Regular high-speed shipping lanes, pirates generally do not touch, that is the military's key protection objects, those wealthy civil airlines, not ordinary pirates can afford to provoke. If you really rob the ship of a large company, even if you can get the ransom, you may not have your life to enjoy it.

Big companies are not soft persimmons to be manipulated.

If you really pay the ransom obediently when the pirate robs the ship, and there is no action afterwards, doesn't that encourage the pirates to come and rob?

Of course, there aren't too many pirates near this extremely risky shipping lane. After all, there are still fewer ships running in this ghost place, and if there are too many pirates, everyone will not be able to eat, and there will be more monks and less porridge.

The Holmes Passage is such a strange place.

The reason why Governor Gregory finally agreed to come here was also out of desperation. No matter what, try your luck and never wait for death. People are eating and waiting to die, they have no food or drink, and they are waiting for death!

This Nima doesn't taste good.

It should still be more likely to encounter smuggling ships, after all, pirates are very rare.

This is what the Governor of Gregory and the other nobles had in mind.

If you don't comfort yourself like this, do you scare yourself to death?

But obviously, most of the time dreams will be shattered.

After a day of waiting on the edge of the barren nebula, they waited not for the legendary smuggling ship, but for the pirate ship.

Three!

These three pirate ships were not hidden, and directly played the pirate logo, and surrounded the Royal Glory in a half-moon shape. This broken ship can't move, just floating there, pitch black, if you're not careful, you think it's a ghost ship.

"Boss, what kind of is this?"

Looking at the Royal Glory not far away, a small leader beside the pirate leader Thomas said inexplicably.

Even the poorest smuggling ship has not been broken like this.

It felt like the ship had been driven straight out of the repair shop, and the entire hull had been torn off, revealing the pressure-resistant inner husk. How did this kind of ship, as fragile as a piece of paper, get here?

The dangers of the Holmos waterway, well known.

Those smuggling boats look dilapidated, but they are not badly equipped, especially fast. Those who run slower will die a long time ago. Think the pirates were vegetarians?

"I don't know. ”

Thomas was also confused.

As a pirate leader, Thomas is also very senior, he has been in the pirate gang for more than 20 years, and he has survived three leaders before finally sitting on the throne of the first brother of this gang. Of course, the first of the three pirate leaders in front of him died of illness, and the second died under the guns of the encirclement team, and was directly hit by the main gun of the fast anti-smuggling boat, and turned into vapor in space. The third is Thomas's predecessor, sorry, it was Thomas who killed him himself.

If you don't kill him, how can Thomas be the boss?

This is too common in pirate gangs, whoever has the big fist has the final say, almost all pirates have no opinion on the way Thomas ascended to power, and whoever has an opinion is dead!

You know, Thomas is a special forces.

In the sequence of the Visy Imperial Army, Thomas can even be called an ace special soldier, and he does have real skills.

Rao is Thomas, who is well-informed, and has never seen such a dilapidated spaceship in front of him.

"Send them a signal, let them identify themselves!"

"What a ......"

"Listen to the ship ahead, we are Boss Thomas's Storm Pirates, you have been surrounded, identify yourself immediately. Otherwise, we're going to attack!"

Soon, the signal was sent to the Royal Glory SH pirates had different habits, some pirate groups were very mysterious and kept silent about the name of the boss, but some pirate groups were very arrogant and advertised everywhere, as if they were afraid that others would not know who their boss was.

Thomas is the latter style.

He has just taken the throne, and there is no problem inside the pirates, but he still has to show his prestige to the outside world and warn other pirates, this is my Thomas's territory, you guys go as far as you want, don't think about stealing business.

Under the dim emergency light, the faces of the nobles of the Royal Glory were like earth, and the timid ones couldn't help but shake like chaff.

Holy damn it, it's really pirates!

For these great nobles, pirates are definitely a legendary term. Wherever they traveled, they took the safest routes in the most high-end spaceships, and pirates could only be seen in literary and artistic works.

But now, the pirates are really in front of their eyes.

The three pirate ships revealed the muzzles of their hideous energy cannons.

Seriously, these three pirate ships are really tattered in Zhang Tianjiu's eyes, they are three armed merchant ships, after some messy modifications, their power is very average. You must know that some powerful large pirate regiments are even equipped with warships that have been eliminated by the military.

However, three armed merchant ships were enough to deal with the Royal Glory, which had no even a crush-resistant hull.

"What should I do?"

The five-member committee of the Governor of Gregory and Zhang Tianjiu's mercenary team gathered together to urgently discuss a countermeasure.

Zhang Tianjiu said: "Negotiate with them." ”

"Negotiations, how to negotiate? We don't even have any bargaining chips ...... now."

Governor Gregory was depressed.

As a governor, he is a master at the negotiating table, but he has never negotiated with pirates, and his previous negotiators have been gentlemen. Besides, what he said was also the truth, all valuable things were lost by Zhang Tianjiu, what to use to satisfy the pirate's insatiable appetite?

"We have people. ”

Zhang Tianjiu looked at him in surprise, as if he thought that Governor Gregory's depression was too strange.

"What do you mean we have someone?"

Governor Grigory was puzzled.

Zhang Tianjiu sighed and said, "Your Excellency, there are more than two thousand nobles on our ship, and these people are our bargaining chips. It doesn't take much, give Thomas's little rabbit cub a hundred nobles, and he will be happy not to find the north. Every nobleman, means a lot of money. ”

Governor Gregory was so angry that he wanted to walk away, but he finally forcibly held back and said angrily: "Sergeant Zhang, please don't talk to me in a hooligan way!"

The mercenary team also changed color, and Berry directly pulled out the gun.

Today's big man admires Zhang Jiuye to the core, and no one is allowed to be rude to the boss.

Not even if this man is a governor.

Zhang Tianjiu was not angry, and said coldly: "Mr. Governor, caste discrimination is the biggest hooligan policy. You aristocrats are the biggest scoundrels! Sacrificing the lives of a million inferior people, you don't blink an eye, and now you're just sacrificing a hundred nobles, and you're so angry? Poke your G-spot?"

"Well, since Mr. Governor thinks I'm a hooligan, I might as well be a little more hooligan. Now I officially declare that the ship is once again taken over by me. All the nobles, including you, Mr. Doge, are my hostages. I will hand over whoever I want to hand over to the pirate, and whoever does not accept it will be slaughtered!"

Zhang Tianjiu's voice was categorical, and there was no room for manoeuvre.

Governor Gregory was dumbfounded, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Tianjiu, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Rogue!

When encountering such a person who plays cards completely out of common sense, he has no second way to go except to suffocate himself.

"We're a Montani-class cruise ship, the Royal Glory!"

Soon, Thomas received a reply on the pirate flagship.

Thomas was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and the pirates around him were laughing back and forth.

Amuse!

It's so funny!

It's just funny!

Haven't bullied pirates ever seen a luxury cruise ship?

"Your sister, what's so funny? Brother gives you a set of verification codes, you check it yourself. ”

A very rude voice sounded over the communicator.

Thomas laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

Nima, just like that, still dare to call himself the Royal Glory?

The stewards of the Royal Glory, are they so rude?

But soon, Thomas couldn't laugh anymore, it was really the Royal Glory. The set of verification codes sent by the other party clearly showed their identities.

For each ship, there is a set of verification codes, which are the identity marks of the spacecraft, unique.

"Damn, how did the Royal Glory get here? Why is it so shabby?"

Thomas's eyes were full of little stars, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Brother escaped death from the hands of the archmage, and now he can still be so intact and not fall apart, even if the ancestors bless him. If you don't believe me, I'll show you a hologram. ”

Soon, communication was shared between the pirate flagship and the Royal Glory, and the video of the Royal Glory fleeing appeared on the hologram of the pirate flagship.

Of course, this video is edited, otherwise who among the pirates has the patience to watch the hours-long escape process?

This wonderful video, which was compressed to only about twenty minutes, made every pirate hold their breath and their eyes lit up.

Thrilling!

It's the only adjective they can think of.

It's thrilling.

I was almost blown up by the archmage.

It's no wonder that the once most luxurious Montani-class cruise ship has become such a ghost.

"Sir, the video is wonderful, we now believe that you are the Royal Glory, your feat is admirable!"

The communicator heard the awe-inspiring voice of the pirate leader Thomas.

Could it be that this bastard was moved by their earth-shattering feat and took the initiative to let them go?

"But, unfortunately, we are pirates, so although we are very moved, we still can't just let you go......"

At this moment, anyone can hear that this bastard is actually desperately suppressing the excitement in his heart, but the next moment, he finally can't suppress it and bursts out in an all-round way.

"Wow Ka Ka Ka is ...... rich"

The communicator heard the howl of the pirate leader, who was almost fainting with joy.
