"It may be that the garrisoned fleet frightened them and was unwilling to take risks!" Ling Qi guessed the psychology of the pirates.

They concentrated on the bridge to watch the online news, and even the twins tensed their little faces and put on a serious look, making Ling Qi pull the corners of his mouth and want to laugh, and couldn't help but pinch them on their little faces.

The expressions of the two little guys instantly collapsed, and they pounced on him and made a fuss.

They have a relaxed atmosphere here, but the outside world is in flames. On this day, the fleets of the two principalities engaged in a tentative engagement in space near the new arc, and the results did not exceed most people's expectations. In the face of nearly twice as many warships and Battlestar as Diwu, in just one round, Sitin's fleet was forced back, and the battle loss ratio with Diwu reached three to one.

The situation changed, and just when the Diwu fleet was about to defeat the Xiting fleet in one fell swoop, Anji Tianxiong led 400 warships and dragged 200 space fortresses to appear on the edge of the battlefield, announcing that he would unite with the Xiting fleet to jointly resist Lei Yue. Less than half an hour later, the Yoda family appeared with more than a hundred warships and joined the combined fleet.

At this time, although the fleet of the Duchy of Diwu still maintained an advantage, the comparison would not be too disparity, and it was not the result that Lei Yue wanted to hurt one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

Lei Yue had to order a halt to the advance, announcing and condemning the Anji family and the Yoda family for treason......

"Zhuo Jun's bastard actually has such means to unite the remnants of the Anji family and the Yoda family, and there is a master behind him, right?" Long Song Rose guessed.

"What makes me even more surprised is that the Anji family still has so much power hidden, and it seems that during the period of controlling the finances of the Duchy of Diwu, they have transferred a large amount of public property."

Ling Qi stared at the dolphin-type battleship mixed with countless warships and the Space Fortress, touching his chin thoughtfully. It can be seen from the behavior of the Anji family that they have already arranged a retreat and plan to play with Zhuo Jun in a desperate gamble.

For the time being, the two sides have entered a phase of confrontation and an arms race, mobilizing more resources for the procurement of new warships.

Ling Qi probably paid attention to it, and unexpectedly found that the most likely factor to break the confrontation between the two sides now was the pirate fleet. It's just that the pirates didn't show up on the Pearl Star and the Silverquill Star to plunder as he wished, and his plan to kill all sides was put on hold.

"We have to find out these scum, we can't wait so passively, some of the space detection torpedoes that were captured before should also be used!" Ling Qi groaned.

In the shipboard space, there is a small batch of space detection torpedoes found from previous raids on enemy ships, and the number is only 21. This detection torpedo is expensive to carry a small radar and quantum communication equipment. Although it can be recovered by ion electric thrusters, it can also be discovered by others when it is discovered, and it is easy to be destroyed, and it is not easy to fire and lose easily.

Ling Qi did not hold back, and transferred all the detection torpedoes from the ship's space to the launch compartment of the cruise ship, and released them in space. Subsequently, the shipboard intelligence remotely activated the ion thrusters through the connection to the quantum communication system on these torpedoes, and launched them in a dispersed manner in the direction he specified.

As the detection of torpedoes farther and farther away, their trajectories were modeled on a course based on the calculations of the ship's intelligence, and the detection results of each torpedo formed a scene, projecting twenty-one light screens in the bridge. Without exception, it was all a silent starry sky.

"These torpedoes have a limited detection range, with a radius of only one-third of the ship's space radio radar, and even if the pirates are really hiding in the nearby starry sky, they are not easy to detect." Seeing him do this, Ao Ying said that she was not optimistic about the result.

"It's okay, there must be some action, and waiting is not a solution." Ling Qi said casually.

As the distance increases, the detection dead angle of the torpedo rapidly expands in a fan-shape. Ling Qi deliberately deviated from the main routes and went to the remote depths of space to explore, if he didn't find anything like this, then he could only sigh the pirate's good luck.

A day passed, twenty-one detection torpedoes left the cruise ship millions of kilometers without any findings. Under Ling Qi's control, they began to slow down.

Another day later, Ling Qi commanded the detection torpedo to deviate some distance and return from another course.

These torpedoes only have a one-third detection radius of the battleship's radar, which means that it will be spotted by the battleship before it finds the target, and the battleship can completely avoid the poor acceleration of the radar.

But what does it matter? It cannot actively detect the target, but it can passively discover the opponent's position through the source of the opponent's radar signal when it is discovered by the battleship. It's just that it doesn't have its own signal feedback and can't be imaged.

Half a day later, Cen Funing and two teammates were guests on the cruise ship, and the shipboard intelligent notification Ling Qi that one of the detection torpedoes was swept by dozens of radar waves, and the signal source was roughly the same.

"It's supposed to be them, they're hiding deep enough!" Ling Qi smiled coldly and commanded the cruise ship to break away from the garrisoned fleet, and quickly rushed towards the target according to the route model calculated by the ship's intelligence.

"Wait, I ask the commander to gather the fleet and go with me!" Cen Funing hurriedly contacted the garrison fleet. She is not yet a commander and needs to report to the commander.

"Tell them to follow if they want to go, they can't wait, it's too late for the pirates to run away early!"

"I'm dizzy, do you really only drive this cruise ship to fight pirates?"

"You always thought I was joking?"

"Ahh......h

Deep in the starry sky, this place is actually no different from the rest of the starry sky in the Evil Ba Galaxy. There are no brilliant nebulae, no characteristic celestial bodies, only eternity densely packed with large and small stellar points of light.

The pirate forces were inexplicable about the torpedoes that had just flown over, but that didn't affect them to judge that they had been exposed. At this time, the forces that will sneak up on such a place can there be anyone but them pirates.

"Shall we avoid it?" There are discreet pirate offers.

A pirate dressed as a scholar with glasses smiled on his chest and said, "There's no need, now that the Principality of Xiting can send two fleets to garrison Pearl Star and Silver Hao Star, even if you know that we are here, you won't have the spare strength to take the initiative to come to us for trouble." ”

One of the pirate leaders couldn't get used to his pretense, and refuted: "Brother Four-Eyed, don't think that you can control everything if you have been lurking in the Principality of Siting for a period of time, and you are arrogant and complacent, what if people really drag the Battlefortress around?" Or is there simply something else involved? ”

The pirate dressed as a scholar had a sinking face: "You question my IQ? Bet on a hundred battleships, dare? ”

The pirate leader snorted disdainfully and ignored him. Since this guy successfully provoked the Zhuo army to send troops to the Diwu and detonated the war of the principality, he has been proud of his achievements, and has always pointed fingers at the decisions of the Pirate Alliance, as if the whole universe was already under his control, which made many pirate leaders very disgusted.

"Don't fight, I don't think it's likely that a large fleet will come looking for trouble, so let's stay at this opportunity!" The Kraken nodded at the pirate dressed as a scholar to reassure him, and then used his eyes to stop the other pirates from speaking.

Ever since the black wolf and white embarrassment had an accident, they have lacked people who can really come up with a good plan. This spectacled pirate was indeed an intellectual before he got on the pirate ship, and he had the credit for successfully dragging Xetine into the water, he planned to train and use it well, and now the pirate alliance needs such a strategist.

Someone contacted the sea monster and exchanged some information with him.

"Two large groups of pirates from other galaxies are coming, the remnants of some destroyed empire, who have agreed to join us, and our ships are about to double their number, even stronger than they were before they were damaged! And that's just the first batch. ”

After the sea monster cut off the communication, he comforted the many leaders so that they did not have to worry too much.

"When this first fleet arrives, we can storm the Pearl Star and crush the garrison fleet...... What is that? It's so fast...... , big cruise ship? The pirate's eyes widened as a brass bell as he stared at the image projected by the radar warning.

A large cruise ship swept by less than 100,000 kilometers from where they were hiding and disappeared like lightning. The shipboard intelligence calculated the speed of a large cruise ship for them, which is sub-light!

A group of pirates was dumbfounded, could a cruise ship reach such high speeds? How long does it take to accelerate? Aren't you afraid of hitting your head on a small meteorite belt?

A few full minutes passed, and one after another people woke up from the shock.

"Why do I find it familiar?" There were pirate chieftains muttering to themselves.

"Do you think the same...... Damn, isn't this the one that appeared outside of Gray? Bei Ye just went out with the fleet to find it, and he never returned! ”

"No, the one that Bei Ye went to track down is much smaller, and although this one is too fast to pass by, it can still be seen that it is many times larger than that one. Can it get bigger and smaller? ”

“……”

Many pirates feel inexplicably cold.

"Hmph, it's just a cruise ship, look at your appearance, do you still have a bit of pirate momentum!" The sea monster was dissatisfied with everyone's expressions, and was about to count a few words, when the radar sounded the alarm again, and the shipboard intelligence once again prompted the appearance of other spaceships.

"It's back? How is it possible, if that speed is to be reduced, it will take a few days! How did it turn back? The sea monster puffed out its eyes again.

There are pirates who have a whim: "It just flew in the direction of detecting the torpedo from which it flew, and now it is flying towards us, and there is a battleship in tow on the top deck, is it going to sell it to us?" ”

"I want to know how fast it is!" A pirate leader, with greed in his eyes, sent a request for radio dialogue to the Grand Cruise Ship, but received no answer.

Cruise ships are getting closer and closer to the pirate fleet, from hundreds of thousands of kilometers to hundreds of thousands of kilometers and then to tens of thousands of kilometers. Ling Qi looked at the blood bars on the radar, thinking that this was the natural hostility formed by the opposition of the camps, and it was so neatly lit.
