In war, the two most expensive materials are weapons and energy, but these two things can usually be boiled down to one ...... That's the money!

Energy crystal is the "gold" of the interstellar age, no matter where you go, the local use is the US dollar, the yen, the euro or the soft sister coin, this is the natural interstellar currency.

"Energy Crystal...... How much do you need? Girard asked with a deep sigh.

"If only this was a rescue mission...... 100 tons is enough! Nie Yun thought for a moment.

Don't look at 100 tons is not much, but this is also equivalent to the regular energy consumption of a thousand warships for a year, which is by no means a small number, if it is exchanged for Broken Star Points in Shattered Star City, it will be at least 100 million.

The ghost pirate group was founded, the foundation is too thin, and if you want to continue to grow and develop, it is naturally not possible to rely on loan sharks alone, and Nie Yun can be regarded as pulling Gemini to invest in his own "start-up company".

We don't have much appetite, let's earn him 100 million first!

Black Sail has the support of Jin Rock behind him, and my ghost pirate group is not bad, and it directly pulls a civilization!

"100 tons?" Hearing this number, Girard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Recently, Chu Xiaoxiao's energy crystal exchange trade turnover has reached new highs, and the Gemini Council is naturally financially well-off, plus the threat level of the Woolf Empire has been raised to S-level, and the war materials allocated from above are also not stingy, and Girard also has the confidence to spend money to eliminate disasters.

Besides, he naturally doesn't need to pay for this money, and the Victor family will naturally pay for it.

"Good! As long as your friend can rescue Beckman, we'll pay for it! Girard said cheerfully.

Nie Yun received a big order, and he was also smiling, and directly sent the coordinates of the money to the past, and the location was on the periphery of the Shattered Star Domain.

"This coordinate...... It's not a big question, but it may take a long time for things to get to you, ......"

100 tons of energy crystals are not large in size, easy to transport, and a modified small fast spaceship can be installed, because the target is extremely small, and the current wormhole at the junction of the two sides is expanding, it is not a big problem to quietly smuggle in the past.

But no matter how fast it is, it will take at least ten days for the money to be delivered to Nie Yun, the question is can Beckman last so long?

I'm afraid that even the corpse will be cold when the money arrives......

"Don't worry, save people first, pay later, I still have this face!" Nie Yun patted his chest and said.

Pay now, pay later? Girard's face was full of confusion.

In his mind, what Nie Yun was looking for was nothing more than local outlaws, mercenaries and the like, and this kind of character could still be credited? You save face...... Is it worth so much?

Damn! Looks like it's time to reassess Alsace's diplomatic skill level......

……

While Nie Yun was striking a deal with Gillard, the hapless Beckman fleet was on the run......

Compared with the previous one, this Twin Star Special Front Fleet has shrunk by more than half, and only a dozen warships have survived, and most of them have been wounded, looking extremely embarrassed.

Originally, Beckman was also careful, and after picking up a soft persimmon, he planned to lie dormant for a while, to see if he could sneak into the enemy's rear farther away from the front line, and fight cold shots for a few days, so he was extremely careful to avoid all large celestial groups and busy shipping lanes.

But people are not as good as heaven, and they actually encountered the mobile radar of the Fifth Fleet of Kinglock on the way.

This kind of mobile radar is a kind of conventional patrol means of the Fifth Fleet, which uses ordinary wandering meteorites as the carrier, and is equipped with a pulsed wide-area detection radar, which can release radar pulses according to a fixed frequency and draw the real-time enemy situation in the satellite field of the route, and the concealment is excellent.

It is only necessary to launch this mobile radar between two patrol stations, which can replace the function of the patrol fleet to a certain extent, and it can also be continuously recovered and re-launched, which is extremely cost-effective.

However, although this mobile radar is convenient, the patrol route can only follow a straight line and cannot change direction, as long as the location of the patrol station is clearly investigated, it is basically effortless to avoid, so it can only be used as a conventional supplementary patrol means.

Beckman was careful enough, but he still suffered from the lack of intelligence, and unfortunately ran into the mobile radar monitoring network of the Fifth Fleet.

After being discovered, because the ship's number could not be recognized, it was immediately alerted as an illegal ship, which led to the encirclement and suppression of the Fifth Fleet.

Fortunately, the other side underestimated the combat effectiveness of this "small fleet", and the first wave of encirclement and suppression fleet sent only more than 60 warships, and then it was directly blinded by the 100 Sea Storm class equipped in the fleet.

The combat effectiveness of this kind of top-level mecha of the twin stars is indeed quite good, directly crippling the mecha unit of the Fifth Fleet and gaining local air supremacy.

After a fierce battle, Beckman sacrificed almost all of his mechs, and only then did he force his way through the encirclement with only half of his remaining fleet, and finally escaped.

Even so, the exposed position of the Beckman fleet was still not out of danger, and the embarrassed commander of the Fifth Fleet directly increased his forces and dispatched a total of more than 100 warships to pursue and intercept Beckman.

Relying on their familiarity with the terrain and the radar network of the Fifth Fleet around them, they clung to Beckman's gang.

Inside the flagship of the fleet at this time.

"Your Excellency Beckman, the opposing fleet has caught up again, and the false target we released should be exposed." The adjutant hurried to report.

"So fast?" Beckman smiled bitterly, his face a little pale.

During this time, they had already used all the escape methods they could use, and it would not be long before the pursuers behind them would catch up again, and now that they had even used up the bait, they were exhausted.

"We should have entered the enemy's monitoring area, and if we continue like this, unless there are reinforcements, we may not be able to escape the enemy's pursuit." The adjutant said anxiously.

Now that their mecha troops have been lost, the remaining battleships are also wounded, and once they are caught up by the other party, the outcome can be imagined.

"Reinforcements? Scold! Beckman smiled wryly.

With the current battle situation on the wormhole, it is not difficult for one or two warships to come over, but if you want to send a rescue fleet...... Is the Woolf Empire your backyard?

Although he was on the verge of a desperate situation, Beckman was the elite of the twin stars, and he was not afraid of panic, and after thinking calmly, Beckman asked. "How long do you expect the enemy to catch up with us?"

"At the current speed and distance between our two sides, it is expected that we will be in enemy range in three days!" The adjutant replied.

One chase and one escape, three days is not a long time.

However, if there is an ambush in front of you, the time to catch up may be shorter.

After bowing his head and muttering for a long time, Beckman finally gritted his teeth and gave the order. "Let all the battleships abandon all unnecessary weapons and supplies on the ship, and lighten the load!"

"Your Excellency, no!" The adjutant couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he heard this. "We are now behind enemy lines, and if we run out of weapons and baggage, even if we get away with it, what will we do in the future?"

"If we don't do this, we won't even be able to pass this hurdle, so what will we talk about?" Beckman said bitterly.

The adjutant was speechless and could only carry out Beckman's orders in the end.

The fleet abandoned its baggage, and its speed suddenly increased, but everyone knew that it was just drinking to quench their thirst......

However, just when the whole fleet was helpless and filled with despair, it unexpectedly received a message from a "friendly army"!

"Let's run to this coordinate?" Beckman looked puzzled.

"Yes! Reinforcements from Lord Arthas will be here to meet us, and they will help us stop the pursuers from behind! The adjutant said with excitement on his face.

Be unexpectedly rescued from a desperate situation! What could be more surprising than that?

"Even if Arthas is fully organized, it is only a mere thirty warships, even if we are added, it is impossible to be the opponent of the pursuing soldiers, didn't he come to send him to death?" Beckman's brow furrowed.

To be honest, his first reaction when he heard the news was...... This must be a trap!

But after thinking about it, even if you want to eradicate yourself as a competitor, is this situation a bit redundant now? Eat enough to tell a cold joke before I die, and make me laugh Jiuquan?

Is it so narrow-minded?

Wrong! Are they really sure that they can deal with more than a hundred warships?

Yes! I have obtained 100 sea storm level, maybe the Yu clan also gave Arthas some super equipment, there is no reason why only I can cheat!

Beckman convinced himself so much that he finally believed a little.

"Your Excellency Arthas may really be prepared, because they have not only sent the coordinates, but also the mobile radar patrol route map of the Fifth Fleet, let us pay attention to evasion!" The adjutant continued, turning on the projection equipment as well.

It was a star map of the surrounding star fields, but it was marked with many lines in red lines.

Beckman's eyes widened.

Mobile Radar Patrol Roadmap?! This can also be had? How did Alsace get this thing?

Could it be that the opposing patrol fleet was captured alive?!

Naturally, he didn't know that for the pirates and ground snakes who roamed the surrounding star fields all year round, this fixed route patrol method was basically just a decoration.

In the intelligence sales point of Shattered Star City, 10,000 Shattered Star Points can get the patrol star map of the surrounding star fields updated in real time, which is a cheap mess!

"Dead horses as live horse doctors, order the fleet, turn towards this coordinate!" Finally, Beckman gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble!

……

Seven days later......

The fleet of Beckman and the others was almost bitten by the pursuers of the Fifth Fleet, and they rushed headlong into the periphery of the Shattered Star Domain!

The two fleets chased and fled, and entered the Shattered Star Domain one after another, and then they all came to a sudden brake!

Because in front of them, there is a battleship waiting for battle, and a dense group of mecha around them!

"Which force are you from, how dare you break into the territory of my ghost pirate group, thinking that tens of thousands of brothers under my command are vegetarians!"

Robotic Bug: "......"

Familiar opening lines, familiar flavors......
