The self-sufficient Galactic Empire itself rarely conducts large-scale trade, and most of the enclaves surrounded by the stars are only stationed with fleets, and there is no precedent for plundering naval supply fleets in peacetime. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 On the side of the Federation, because of the long-standing tradition, the Federation fleet will even provide full escort business for merchant ships, so naturally it is rare to be attacked by pirates.

As for the Emma Empire, most of the foreign trade is a business with a noble background, and its own escort team is strong, which is not the best choice for pirates. As a result, the merchants of the Freedom League, who were very weak in force and weak in their convoys most of the time, naturally became the targets of the pirates.

There's no way around it, even if it's a pirate, they'll find an easy target to attack. Although the eight major groups of the Freedom Alliance and the affiliated fleets of the ten major mercenary groups are still very strong, and some of the mercenary groups even have combat power no less than that of the Imperial Navy, but so what, these elite mercenaries are not even allowed to enter the border by other empires.

Even the police of the Joint Security Service cannot arrest suspected pirates without informing local law enforcement agencies. Not to mention the mercenaries who want to cross the borders of the Empire and enter the highly secure areas of the Empire to pursue pirates. The repression of the Freedom League by those empires was only due to a slight dissatisfaction with the wealthy merchants.

Powerful countries need buffer areas between each other, minerals that lack each other, and merchants who need to transport them, and the products they manufacture also need merchants to sell. Originally, the reason why the Freedom League has survived for a hundred years is not because, for these countries, the Freedom League is just a place where trade is concentrated.

However, when these businessmen are not satisfied with vested interests and want to get more, they will inevitably be suppressed by the rest of the country. For the Freedom League, which has been a deformed product since its birth, it is a matter of course, but it is also a helpless status quo.

Against the pale blue background of the universe, the gray North Wind's falcon-like wings glowed dimly, and then quietly disappeared from the sight of all monitors.

Although it also has shortcomings such as the decline in mobility after stealth, for most of the current reconnaissance equipment, the North Wind has indeed completely disappeared from their reconnaissance range, and it can be said that it is truly completely invisible.

In this regard, Lu Lu once told Falcon very proudly that the reason why the North Wind is unique is precisely because of the existence of a variety of equipment that is based on modern technology but far beyond modern technology.

The North Wind, which disappeared into the universe in the blink of an eye, did not stay away from the golden channel where "pirates were rampant" and almost cut off the shipping route.

At any given time, there are always countless speculators, or adventurers, who, ignore any danger, drive small ships, and maintain the meager connection between the various manned galaxies in the universe with "good and cheap" interstellar trade.

The symbol of the Storm Pirates, a faint silver-gray color, with wings spread over 800 meters, but with no less maneuverability than a fighter, is now hidden on the periphery of the Star Gate, quietly waiting for the arrival of its prey.

Lu Lu, who was waiting for his prey, did not have the slightest impatience, and according to the previous agreement, the Storm Fleet across Gillesis would conduct a "friendly" activity with the powerful and independent naval team of Scarlet Rose in this place.

When a team of pirates sends a message inviting another team to hunt together, it means that the team has been accepted by the pirates and becomes a member of this world.

Pirates also have pirate worlds, and although the major empires have protected their territories with the [Iron Wall System], the high maintenance costs are not affordable for all galaxies. As a result, naturally within the scope of the empire, there is also a division of security levels.

Gao'an is the local garrison fleet, low-security is the adventurer's paradise, and the low-security region plus the Gao'an region is equal to the entire imperial territory, which is the imperial navy, and as for outside the empire's sphere of influence, it is the real goal of the legendary pirates, with a territory of their own. Like the alliance of angel enterprises, they have more space than even a star field.

However, the angel group is just a direction for the development of pirates, and in this universe, there are still many of them, the kind of pirates who belong to a very traditional way, who believe in freedom and do whatever they want, they don't like restraint, and they don't like to kill innocents. For these pirates, chasing prey or being tracked by employees of the Joint Security Service is just part of life.

In fact, Lu Lu is very envious of this kind of life, at the beginning of coming here, Lu Lu originally planned to be a [freelancer].

"The ideal is always beautiful, but the reality is always cruel." The corners of the falcon's mouth were curled at an almost imperceptible angle, and if it seemed to others, the corners of the mouth would definitely indicate that this unpredictable girl was still in a good mood at the moment. However, Lu Lu just withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and avoided the other party.

Hayabusa is a person with too many stories, so nothing can be inferred from common sense. At least, in Lu Lu's view, the girl's "smile" represents irony.

Perhaps for her, who lives in an extreme realistic world, ideals have become unattainable and fearful because they are too illusory.

Scratching the back of his head helplessly, his attention only stayed on the still calm radar monitoring screen for a few minutes, and Lu Lu, who was distracted, suddenly had such an idea in his head.

"Those guys are the real daring pirates." Lu Lu held the delicate teacup filled with black tea steadily, and while casually flipping through the information on the star network, he seemed to have a too formal smile.

"The guitar safety meeting has just ended." Once again, a sarcastic smile appeared on Hayabusa's face. "What's the content?

"Joint fight against piracy? I don't know what that means for other countries, but for the Federation, first and foremost, it's the Stormwind Fleet. There are more than 3 million privateer certificates issued by the entire Federation, and as long as they do not violate federal laws within the Federation, the Federal Navy will have to shelter them to the end. ”

It was a smile with a subtle meaning, and looking at the most popular topic on the Star Internet recently, Lu Lu laughed so much. The so-called guitar trade security conference, in the eyes of this barely powerful person, is a big joke, because what he is doing at the moment is an act that is restricted by the new agreement but protected by the laws of the Yan and Huang Federation.

The two people who were chatting in the cockpit of the North Wind turned their heads in unison, and after a brief interplay of eyes, the original sarcasm, as agreed, disappeared from their faces.

"It doesn't look like we're too late." Lu Lu curled the corners of his mouth, looking at the various signals displayed on the pale green radar screen on the North Wind.

Ancas AL-3 Stargate, which is a huge stargate with an impact range of up to 40,000 kilometers, can be passed through by large fleets at the same time.

As the best choice for large fleets, the AL-3 has always been extremely popular, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the AL-3 Stargate is the most crowded part of the Golden Passage, which is always full of crowded scenery. However, that was already in the past, at least three full hours after the North Wind arrived here, and not even a single merchant ship was seen.

However, this is also a normal situation, after all, the world has not been very peaceful lately, for whatever reason, for the interstellar traders, for those adventurers who like to wander, danger is only an irritation, but if there is a greater good, it is a different matter.

The Gray Voyager is a starship that is only 800 meters long, although it is already considered a large one among frigates, but if you underestimate the mobility of this starship, you can only become the prey of this gray starship.

"It's been a long time since we've met again, Storm's all." It was particularly strange that it was obviously a galaxy public channel, but it was obviously encrypted with extremely high technology, but the information received by the gray traveler was compiled by the computer, and a man's low and calm voice came from the radio.

"It's been a long time, and it's an honor for me to serve you." Locke. Patton, the captain of the Grey Voyager, succeeded the tragic death of Patton Sr. three years ago, leading the Stormstorm privateer to continue to harm the universe. In general, although he is still very, very young in terms of age, he is already one of the famous pirate leaders who are registered with the Joint Security Service and hated by those interstellar merchants.

The prey targeted by the Storm Pirates is undoubtedly pitiful, but this is the first [cooperative hunt] that the Storm Privateers attach more importance to.

And for Lelou or Lockbarton, the one they're waiting for, as opposed to Locke. Patton, a son of a "pirate family", or Lu Lu, a "legendary big man" who suddenly emerged, is an existence that stands at the other pinnacle of the pirate world, and it can be said that it is an existence admired by many pirates.

Locke on the Gray Voyager. Patton excitedly unbuttoned his coat, this cooperation is of great importance to the Stormwind Fleet, which is responsible for privateering. This is a sign that the new pirate is recognized by the established powers, and of course, this operation must be completed cleanly......
