Chapter 689: Captive
In the end, Kloros didn't even say a word, just turned around and left.
He didn't believe that these four were really legends, but as long as two of them were true, plus the terrifying naval guns on the other side, if he didn't pay attention, maybe he would really have to stay here.
Considering the benefits and risks, Kloros eventually chose to retreat.
And as he retreated, the fleet of the Locke Consortium began to accelerate its escape from the battlefield.
However, in order to get out of the pursuers as soon as possible, Kloros had to arrange a part of the force to break the rear.
"Ceasefire! Cease fire! We surrendered! I demand that prisoners be treated as they deserve in accordance with the Imperial Prisoners of War Convention! ”
This broken fleet was also brave, delaying the pursuers for nearly half an hour, and the commander of the fleet saw that he could not escape the encirclement, so he fired a white surrender signal flare.
Perhaps unwilling to be captured by an alien race, they surrendered to the ghost pirate group that was barely a "native" force.
In this regard, in line with the idea of earning an extra ransom, Nie Yun naturally took all the orders.
After receiving the captives, the Ghost Pirates directly began to evacuate the wormhole, but they had no intention of making contact with the Gemini at all.
This small-scale battle, which had long been doomed, finally came to an end......
……
"That's the legendary mecha mentioned in the data?" On the Gemini side, Ishar's face was solemn.
Although it only captured less than ten minutes of battle footage, the powerful power of the Crypt Lord's God Blocking and Killing God and Buddha Blocking and Killing Buddha made all the Gemini officers who saw it moved.
Their "Sea Storm Class" and other top-notch mecha can also fight against ten, or even one against hundred, but they will definitely not be able to ride a thousand like legendary mechas, and go freely on the dangerous and chaotic battlefield.
Such an existence is like a famous general who has opened a peerless battle, which is enough to determine the outcome of a battle.
"Fortunately, such a mecha Woolf Empire can't be mass-produced, otherwise who is still their opponent?" Renault wiped the cold sweat from his head.
"Hmmm! But this group of allies ......," Isal looked thoughtfully at the evacuating pirates opposite.
She thought that the "allies" who would work together would be their direct fleet, but she never expected it to be a group of pirates.
And it seems that the strength of this group of pirates is also amazing, and they can actually scare a legendary mecha directly away.
"Arthas, is there any news from the Shattered Star Domain?"
After jumping out of the wormhole, Gemini naturally regained communication with the Shattered Star Domain, and Ishar asked Nie Yun to collect relevant information for the first time.
At the very least, they need to figure out what's really going on on the Locke consortium's side.
"Hmmm! There has been information coming in, and the news is amazing! Nie Yun pretended to be a baby who was also frightened by himself.
"Not long ago, there was a fire in the Shattered Star Domain for some reason, and the most powerful of the Seven Great Pirates suddenly broke out into a big scuffle, attacking each other.
It is said that several forces are deceitful and deceitful, and the small and medium-sized pirate groups outside are also involved in it, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a time.
Even one of my pirate friends, who had to take refuge in a powerful group of pirates in the midst of this turmoil, has now been co-opted.
What exactly happened in it is no longer known to outsiders except for a few high-level pirate groups.
After the final melee, the two pirate groups of Gold Coin and Karon in the Seven Pirate Groups were destroyed one after another, and the Dark Temple was severely damaged and could only shrink, and the temporary alliance composed of the remaining pirate groups won a complete victory, and the Shattered Star Domain completed a power reshuffle.
Immediately after that, the pirates of the winning camp suddenly raided the territory of the Locke Consortium and plundered the opponent's interior, which I think is probably the reason why the other party had to retreat. ”
Hearing this bombshell news, Isal and Renaud couldn't help but fall into shock.
"This ...... So, we were freed by a bunch of pirates? Renault was dumbfounded.
They have also speculated about the means by which the One Society will attack the Locke consortium, perhaps through economic repression, or top-down pressure from Woolf's bigwigs.
But they never imagined that the One Society would use pirates to enforce the so-called "sanctions"!
As for the "friend" in Nie Yun's mouth being co-opted, they didn't care much about it at all.
A small pirate group of only a few tens of thousands of people is an insignificant small role under the overthrow of such a big force, and it is not worth paying attention to at all.
"It's definitely not that coincidental, and it's indispensable that everything is one, and it will work in the dark." Ishal pondered for a moment.
At least this pirate fleet just now...... It's absolutely under the control of the Oneness of All Things!
Otherwise, the other party will not put the good loot and not loot, but will come to this wormhole with nothing to meet them inside and out.
Thinking that the other party could destroy a plate of scattered Shattered Star pirates in such a short period of time, and finally quickly formed a huge pirate alliance that was enough to threaten the Locke Consortium, Ishar was secretly frightened.
Whether the other party smashed it with money, crushed and conquered it with hard power, or coerced and lured behind his back, the strength and skill of the All Things Are One Society deeply shocked Ishaar.
What's even more terrifying is that the other party has done all this, but few people know who is behind the scenes.
Brush off your clothes and go away, and hide your merit and fame! There is no trace of pyrotechnics at all.
This is completely a high-pressure operation of the boss of the underground organization......
Woolf Imperial ...... You've been infiltrated too!
Looking at the thoughtful Ishaar, for some reason, Nie Yun felt a burst of relief in his heart.
There should be no problem on the Gemini side for the time being, but the Locke consortium is ......
Although Kloros had been repelled and the wormhole had been captured, he always had a strange feeling that something was not quite right.
For example, this wave of operations of Kloros is a little incomprehensible to him.
If you can guess that they will come to raid the wormhole, do you really not guess that they will join forces with Gemini?
With a mere 200 warships, he did not hesitate to personally end up in the case of instability in the rear, and carried out a meaningless obstruction operation, which did not benefit at all except the loss of troops and the loss of generals.
Could it be that I watched too much romance, just to talk to myself before the battle?
……
"Name?"
"Grim."
"Position?"
"Commander of the Sixth Fleet under the First Fleet of the Locke Consortium, rank colonel, identification number LK872876......"
The two pirates who questioned each other looked at each other strangely.
As the highest-ranking of the captured prisoners, Colonel Grim was definitely the most cooperative senior officer they had ever seen.
The other captives were either emotional and uncooperative, or depressed and taciturn, as was rare for them to be so eloquent.
And the other party's face was calm, and he didn't seem to have any nervousness about being a captive.
"Very well, as a high-ranking officer, you can be assigned to a separate cell, rest assured, as long as you are honest, our ghost pirate regiment will definitely treat prisoners preferentially!"
The interrogation went smoothly, and the pirate who was questioned was also quite satisfied.
Grim was quickly escorted out of the interrogation room by the two men and taken to a separate cell through a long hallway.
"Hmmm! May I ask, where will we be taken next? The officer named Grim asked with a sudden smile.
You are a captive, is this the question you should ask?
One of the pirates was about to curse, but when his eyes met Grim's raised eyes, his mind was in a trance.
"You'll be sent back to the base and wait until the ransom is in place before handing it over to the Locke Consortium."
The other pirate gave his companion a strange look, a question that should not have been revealed to a captive by common sense.
However, pirates are not a regular army after all, and there are no such strict rules and regulations, he just felt that something was wrong, but he did not speak out on the spot to lose the face of his companions.
After all, this kind of information is not too important, especially for captives whose personal freedom is restricted.
And after getting the answer he wanted, the faint red glint in Grim's eyes slowly faded, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......
