"Damn it, these damn pirates! I'm going to hang them, hang them all! ”

Jin Luo waved his little fat fist angrily, most of the things in the room had become debris everywhere, which showed what kind of storm had just been experienced here.

A galaxy was invaded, a planet was captured, and a warehouse was ransacked...... It's been such bad news every day during this time.

Every message is like a knife, slashing at his flesh, making him lose his taste, and even lose several pounds of weight.

The Kim family's painstaking management for generations, and the savings of Kim Lock's life, have shrunk by almost one-third in this pirate disaster.

To make matters worse, the combined raids of the five pirates were only the beginning.

They took the lead in tearing through the outer defense line of the Locke Consortium, and when they were frantically looting inside, the rest of the Shattered Star pirates who heard the wind were also like sharks that smelled blood, and gathered near the Locke Consortium.

If the Big Five Pirate Groups are a pack of lions, then these small and medium-sized pirate groups are sideburns.

Although their strength was uneven, and their warships were scarce, and some even had only a dozen armed merchant ships, they were superior in numbers, all of which added up to two or three thousand ships.

They roam the periphery of the Locke Consortium and flock to the Locke Consortium as soon as they find a suitable target.

Some galaxies of the Locke Consortium have just been glad that the raiding fleets of the five pirate groups have left, and they have tragically ushered in the second or even third brush of these small and medium-sized pirate groups.

The five pirate groups don't look down on them, and they don't dislike them, so these galaxies are licked cleaner......

The current situation is naturally indispensable for the acquiescence and even promotion of the five pirate groups behind the scenes.

As they ran away with the loot, the pirates became their scapegoats and shared a lot of the pressure for them.

Their presence successfully delayed the pursuers, allowing the fleets of Black Sails and Ssangyong to calmly break away from the Locke Consortium with the spoils of war.

These small and medium-sized pirate forces who come to pick up cheap do not have such a keen sense of smell on the battlefield, and they are even more reluctant to give up the interests in front of them.

The so-called people die for money, and birds die for food.

With the drag of loot, with their speed, once they are met by the returning Locke fleet, they basically can't escape the fate of being wiped out.

However, the elimination of some small shrimps will not be able to recover the huge losses that the Locke consortium has suffered.

Especially after the news of the tragic pirate ravage, it triggered a sharp fluctuation in the stock price of the Locke consortium, and the resulting economic losses were immeasurable.

"What about the Kloros?" The furious blob fat had nowhere to vent his anger.

"I heard that I just came back from the wormhole, but the wormhole has been lost." The subordinate reported cautiously.

"Rubbish! It's rubbish! Knowing that the other party is coming, he can't hold it, bullshit famous general seeds! Pass my orders to remove Kloros from his position as commander at once, and let him go home sweet potatoes! ”

After many heavy losses and strategic failures, coupled with many previous acts of disobedience, it is clear that Jin Fat's tolerance for Kloros has reached its limit.

"Uh...... This, Lord Klorus has insufficient troops in his hands, and he is attacked by the opponent from both sides, and the loss of the wormhole is indeed not a crime of war, and it is said that Lord Kloros has a backhand......"

"Shut up! You spoke for him like this, were you bribed by him? Kinglock rudely interrupted his men's explanation, staring at him dangerously.

"No, no, no!" The subordinates shook their hands again and again in a cold sweat. "It's just that behind Klorus is the big nobles in the home galaxy, and if we remove him like this, I'm afraid we will offend some big people!"

"Humph! Big shot? Kinglock sneered.

"You and I don't know that Kloros is the second prince? If it weren't for the fact that he really had some ability, and he wanted to get closer to the second prince, do you think I would let him buy people's hearts in the First Fleet and be indifferent? ”

No one is a fool, although Jin Luo is just a businessman, but after so many years of experience in the empire, he has single-handedly developed the family business to the scale it is today, and there is absolutely no shortage of skills and abilities.

The second prince holds shares in the Locke Consortium, and he has placed people around him, and even has a layout in the Shattered Star Domain, which is nothing more than wanting to let these forces become a help for him to compete for the crown when necessary.

In today's situation where the empire has flourished and declined, and the control of the imperial family has been greatly weakened, it is not uncommon for every prince who is interested in that position, and even the powerful nobles, to support their own separatist forces, either explicitly or implicitly.

And the reason why Jin Luo turned a blind eye to the infiltration of the second prince's power was actually betting in advance and being optimistic about the future of the second prince.

If one day the second prince really sits in that position and clings to the past, the Locke Consortium will naturally be able to rise.

However, this time Kloros was in a hurry to get the secret treasure to invite credit, ignoring his own safety and orders, but he had already touched the bottom line of Jin Luo.

When his subordinates heard Jin Luo say this kind of thing without hesitation, the cold sweat on his forehead became more, and he lowered his head and no longer dared to make a sound.

After venting, Jin Luo finally calmed down.

The Locke consortium is now in turmoil and its power has suffered heavy losses, and it is precisely the time when it needs external support, and this time is indeed not suitable for moving Kloros.

After thinking about it, Jin Luo could only sigh helplessly in the end.

"Tell Kloros, I don't care what method he uses, this loss must be made up for me, otherwise he will roll up and get out of the way!"

……

On the other hand, Nie Yun, who was on the way back, received a news that was not unexpected......

"You mean, they want to buy our fighters?"

"Yes! The Messiah of the dragoons simply stuffed us with a boatload of rare minerals, and then detained our three transport ships, which can contain hundreds of thousands of our clansmen, and asked the captain to be the master of my Lane clan! Spartak said angrily.

Just now, news came from another detachment that the clansmen were about to be forcibly "bought", and Spartak was immediately anxious.

Beside him, the old patriarch of the Lane clan was also present.

He carefully observed the rumored ghost captain, but did not immediately express his opinion on what happened to his people.

He was waiting, waiting to see what this nominal "liberator" of the Lane clan would do with it.

The previous battle in the wormhole finally made him understand why the warriors of the Ryan clan would be so friendly to a group of robots.

Obviously, there is a group of beings who can block guns for you on the battlefield, even if it is a hammer, you have to use him as a mascot!

Originally, the old patriarch was worried that the other party would recruit them, and he just wanted to use the Lane clan as cannon fodder on the battlefield, so they were at best just jumping from one fire pit to another.

However, after seeing the final casualty report of the last battle, he was completely relieved.

In order to reduce the casualties of the Lane Clan, he did not hesitate to use his mechanical clan "headquarters" as a wingman for them, even if it was just to buy the hearts of the Lane Clan, the old patriarch had to admit this.

Initial trust had been established, which was why he didn't immediately confront Captain Ghost when he heard that his people had been detained.

Of course, the initial recognition does not mean that the Lane clan will die for the other party, and the old patriarch still needs to listen to his words and watch his deeds......

"Hmmm! I know about it. ”

Surprisingly, Nie Yun only smiled meaningfully, and didn't seem to be angry at all.

The old patriarch's heart sank, and his face suddenly darkened.

Also, offending the two most important allies for the sake of a few loot is not a good deal.

Really...... Or are you just using us as some bargaining chips......

"Captain......" Spartak suddenly became anxious.

"That's it! Rest assured, I assure you that your people will return soon, and that no one will be left behind in my ghost captain's eye! ”

Hearing Nie Yun's domineering promise, Spartak immediately grinned, having no doubt that his clansmen would be able to come back one by one.

Bite! Your subordinates Spartak Loyalty +2!

The old patriarch was also moved.

For a long time, he stroked his chest with one hand, his head hung slightly, and slowly walked towards Nie Yun with the highest etiquette of the Lane clan......

Bite......

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Nie Yun's brain made up the system prompt sound, and then turned on his communicator with a smile.

Those who dare to rob Lao Tzu, it's time for you to see what "fishing law enforcement" is.

I was too familiar to start before, but now I have no psychological burden at all......
