The Westa Domain is divided into four states, namely the northern state of Asmode, which is isolated from the six stars in the north, the southern state of Astarus, which is close to the direct system, the eastern state of Baal, which is close to the silver core, and the western state of Bymon which borders the Holy Empire of Ifrix.

Each of these four districts is named after one of their habitable planets, namely the capital of the Sector, Baal, the seat of the Holy See, the military town of Astarus, and the first mining star of the Federation, Asmodeus.

At a distance of 18 astronomical units from Asmode, there is an asteroid belt. This asteroid belt is the richest vein in the Federation, with millions of private mining vessels operating around the clock to deliver a steady stream of mineral support to the Federation's war fronts.

It is also home to the largest pirate colony in the Federation.

The Federation does not attach great importance to this vein, and the Westa Star Field has sent sixty percent of the coast guard here to maintain law and order.

But human civilization is nothing to mention on a macrocosmic scale, so when these pirates find an asteroid to build a base and hide inside, even the entire federation's navy doesn't even want to find them.

The Canglanzi is a notorious pirate ship that has been plundering this star field for three years, destroying countless merchant ships and never being caught by the coast guard.

Lecter, the captain of the Freesia, sat in the center of the command cabin and grabbed a handful of beef cubes in his right hand and fed his parrot "Eight Riyals".

A closer look reveals that Lecter wears an eyepatch on his left eye, and his left hand is missing from the elbow down, replaced by a metal hook.

According to Lecter's own account, his left eye and left hand were lost in hand-to-hand combat with a Navy Colonel. Of course, the colonel's throat was also broken by him.

As for why he didn't use the bioreconstruction technology that is now very popular in the Federation to repair his mutilated limbs, and instead used such a backward prosthetic limb, it was purely Captain Lecter's own hobby.

He is now feeding the parrot with beef cubes, and every time the parrot eats a grain of beef, he flapps its wings and cries "eight riyals~"

They're tracking a big fish.

Fish is a pirate slang word that refers to the merchant ships that are being targeted. They don't do anything to mine ships, because minerals aren't very valuable. The prey that pirates liked was cargo ships carrying weapons, precious metals, medicines, and other goods.

Not long after the fishing operation left the port, the gravity probe detected an abnormal signal, and through the search, the identification signal of the target ship was quickly found: it was the cruise ship "Starweaver" from the Directly Administered Star Zone.

It's really a group of rich idlers who don't know what to do, they actually dare to travel here, Lecter smiled obscenely, it seems that after this fishing is over, he can go to the port of the dead to be debauched for a long time.

From the identification signal, it can be understood that this "Starweaver" cruise ship is a group of aristocratic children from the Municipality Star District who do not know how sinister life is, and because life is boring, they come to the pirate area to find excitement.

There would probably be some good weapons on that ship, but how could fools who had never seen blood be the odds of their outlaws?

"Probe No. 3 is back with a signal strength of 99.8%!" One of the crew members shouted.

"Hehe, these stupid pigs dare to run into the asteroid belt. Raise the flag and go full speed ahead! Captain Lector said, rolling his only eyeball.

Raising the flag is also pirate nonsense. This means broadcasting the identification signal of their own ship so that the fish caught will see the flag of the pirate ship on the screen.

For example, the flag of the "Freesia" is a red freesia flower and a human skull symbol against a black background. There are many merchant ships that will stop and deliver their goods when they see these obvious pirate ship signs in order to save their lives, and pirates are happy to see this.

"Damn, that fish isn't speeding up, they're even slowing down, so what to do? I wanted to catch a few young women to have fun. Said one of the crew members in charge of observation.

It is the unwritten law of piracy not to do anything to the personnel of the merchant ships that stop resisting, and it is also for the development of a healthy piracy business. If it is violated, it may even anger the Pirate King Blackbeard and be hunted down.

"Stupid chicken, how do these nobles from the Directly Administered Star Region know what to do? They were very proud, slowing down to meet us. Get ready for battle and unfold the camouflage force field. Lecter said with a grin.

The triangular pirate ship began to deform, spreading two black wings.

These two wings are camouflage force fields, which can interfere with gravity detectors by oscillating the two neutron strings inside.

The triangular pirate ship "Canglanzi" approached the "Starweaver" at full speed under the cover of the camouflage force field.

Six hours later, Canglanzi broke through the dark deep space and emerged from 20 km around the Starweaver.

After the transformation, the black triangular pirate ship spread out six metal wings on the periphery, like a black freesia flower, but full of metallic slaughter.

Except for the two black camouflage force fields, the other four wings were full of thick gun barrels, and I don't know how they were stowed into the small hull before. These are terrible plasma cannons, the Federation's strongest energy weapons, announcing death to the ships on the other side.

"Disarmed, all the people on board got on the lifeboats and came over. Hehe, this is your great Captain Lecter's Freesia, coming to rob. ”

"Repeat, repeat, disarm at once, and then all the people on board will get on the lifeboats and drive over, and your great Captain Lecter will keep you safe, except for the pretty women, hehe. The plasma cannon has no eyes, and we're going to fire, hehe. Lecter said lewdly into the radio microphone.

The silver-white longship on the opposite side did not disarm Lecter's warning, and responded with a gamma laser beam.

The laser beam shot straight at the black pirate ship, and the pirate ship had no chance to dodge when caught off guard.

But in fact it didn't need to dodge either, and a black stick was released from one of the six leaves of the black freesia flower. It then unfolds into a giant membrane umbrella.

The membrane umbrella was separated between the two ships, powerful enough to hit the gamma beam in the form of particles of the gold porcelain armor, and it was completely absorbed, and only a few light streaks spread out in a circle from the part where the gamma beam hit the umbrella.

This is a deflector captured by the Canglanzi from a coast guard ship, and the charged particle field on the surface of the "umbrella" can deflect the attack of energy weapons.

This is also the confidence and capital for the "Canglanzi" to run rampant in this star field.
