Chapter 96: Harvesting the Fleet
Natalie is a veteran of special warfare, and she suddenly launched it, ready to kick the big man out of the shuttle by four or two thousand pounds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoUnfortunately, unlucky, Dahan stabilized his body in time and grabbed her condyles in a falling position.
After a soft scream, Natalie was dragged to the ground, and Dahan took advantage of the situation to climb up from the inclined elevator treads, and he escaped by climbing less than two meters. By this time, he had already understood that Natalie was an enemy, and he had no scruples to pull her down.
She naturally wouldn't let the big man get her wish, and after finding that there was a huge difference in strength, she gave up and seemed to be able to push up with both hands, plus the strength of the big man's pull, the human body quickly crashed into the big man who was trying to climb.
Her move was unexpected, and he tried his best to dodge, turning his head away, but his shoulders couldn't dodge. With a muffled grunt, the two collided and slid together towards the unclosed exit. The girl's body is agile and elegant, rolling on her side in the slide, her toes gently touching the shoulders of the big man, and the person is ejected diagonally, and she aims for the access handle installed on the side bulkhead.
Dahan was stepped on by her shoulder and accelerated his slide. Knowing that he could not be spared today, a hideous look flashed in his eyes, and he simply stopped trying to survive, but took off his helmet and threw it at Natalie.
Her strength is old, and her body posture also limits the room for dodge. With a scream, the helmet hit the back of her hand, and the slender figure rolled helplessly towards the exit.
Due to the automatic navigation, the shuttle is more than 100 meters above the ground at this time, and even under low gravity conditions, it is impossible to fall down. First, the big man screamed and fell out. Natalie then followed, only to slam into the lift's pedals as the exit finally closed.
It took a long time for Natalie to recover from the violent impact. She hurriedly got up and rushed to the cab.
。。。。。。
Ten minutes later, the Mariner-class shuttle returned to the serenity's ejection port. Liao Fan and others, who had been waiting for a long time, boarded the shuttle one after another.
"How's it going? Where are we, and what are the enemies? ”
Ivan asked as if he were a commander, unaware that he was just a communications staff officer.
"The jump operation was successful, and we are now in the asteroid belt two astronomical units from Earth."
"Yo hoo, this can be successful, Lao Tzu's prayer manifestation pulls, you all have to thank Lao Tzu!"
No one paid any attention to the man-bear who was boasting there, and the other three gathered around Natalie.
"Who is the enemy? Now that the situation is special, is there room for manoeuvre? Liao Fan asked the most critical question on behalf of the others.
Natalie sighed lightly and shook her head, "It's a pity, I'm afraid this time I've just come out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den." ”
From the information in the shuttle, it is known that the enemy belongs to a space pirate organization called the Blood Raider, whose base is located in the asteroid belt, and the main purpose is to overthrow the Solar System Coalition Government, which is an extremely aggressive and terrorist extremist organization.
"You say there is no room for manoeuvre, why do you have such a judgment?" , Fang Hushan also intervened to ask questions, but his tone and attitude were too blunt, as if a superior person was asking a person with a low status, which caused Natalie's dissatisfaction. There was a hint of anger on her upright face, but she eventually restrained herself. It's really bad, and now is not the time to get pushy.
"I've got this, take a look."
A brief tactical coordination plan appeared on the surveillance screen.
Obviously, the Blood Raiders have made a detailed understanding of the Tranquility, not only knowing that there are hundreds of thousands of people hidden in the spaceship, but also knowing that the spaceship is controlled by the Second Fleet (whether it is Liao Fan or the bald commander, they are all subordinate to the Solar System Space Army, the Second Fleet)
The tactical plan shows that the Bloodraiders have sent a large Harvest fleet to collect a large number of slaves, and asked the reconnaissance force represented by the shuttle to cooperate with the Harvest fleet to find out the strength of the Tranquility and eliminate all the officers and men of the Second Fleet in one fell swoop.
"What's so great about just pirates, we've even fought against the Imperial Army, and those turtles haven't been captured yet." , I heard that the enemy was a space pirate, and Xiong was happy, and he looked like he could easily make a battle feat.
Except for him, the others had gloomy faces.
"You cowardly creatures, a couple of pirates scared you out? What are you nervous about?,It's a shame that you usually have five people and six people.,It turns out that they're all paper tigers.。。。 Oops, what are you doing! ”
Liao Fan's foot kicked down, and the bear stopped making a big fuss.
"Space pirates are not ordinary bandits, and it would be a big mistake to judge by the thinking of officials and soldiers fighting bandits."
Here Liao Fan has the widest knowledge and the oldest qualifications, and several people naturally listen carefully.
"Unlike bandits or rebels on the same planet, the generation of space pirates must have a strong technical and capital background, and generally speaking, they cannot be generated naturally, either representing the opposition forces in the regime or being agents of the hostile forces. According to me, the asteroid belt of the solar system is a gathering place for space pirates, and many of them come from different star regions around them, and there are also thugs raised by cross-star enterprises. They generally recruit retired veterans and those with extensive combat experience in the form of mercenaries. If it is purely judged by quality, even the Imperial Army is inferior. ”
"It's true that the Space Pirates are quite powerful, but isn't it an exaggeration to say that they are more elite than the Imperial Army?" , Natalie's face showed disbelief, this strong woman does not admit defeat everywhere.
"There are ready-made examples. You have the most fights with the Scouts of the Blood Raiders. How do you think of the Imperial Army compared to them? ”
“。。。。。。” , Faced with Liao Fan's rhetorical question, she fell into deep thought for a while.
。。。。。。
In the area of the asteroid belt close to the gravitational sphere of Mars, a small fleet is hastily assembled. Among them, no less than 11 converted cruisers, and more than 20 armored personnel carriers, plus large and small supply and maintenance ships, form a group of 100 ships.
One of them, the Elbe, converted from an armored cruiser, was surrounded by numerous starships at the core as the flagship of the group. Fleet Commander Marcus is inspecting a fleet of ships in a 50,000-kilometer radius through wide-area monitors. He was calm and calm on the surface, and with a majestic gaze he inspected the artificial light spots in the dark universe, and his heart was actually excited.
According to intelligence, more than 100,000 refugees are waiting for him to harvest. The leader had stated that if the refugees were captured, eighty percent of the proceeds would go to the harvesters, that is, to his pockets. That's a staggering fortune, and Marcus can't help but think that after this mission, he can retire and live a rich life of poverty and luxury.
As for why there were capital ship-class starships jumping to the asteroid belt, and the fact that the refugees were guarded by a large number of space officers and soldiers, he didn't care at all. No matter what level of starship, as long as it dares to come to the territory of the Blood Raider, it must be prepared to be eaten. It is a place outside the law, and it is not affected by the so-called laws and morals of the outside world. The officers and soldiers of the universe are not worth mentioning, how can the rabble composed of a group of rookies be the opponent of the blood raiders. As long as they are properly commanded, it is a matter of minutes and seconds to eliminate them.
It took less than two days for the Harvest fleet to assemble. With a wave of his hand, the light emitted by the tail engines of a large number of starships turned the area where the ship group was located into a dazzling wall of light.
The blinding light finally dimmed, and the group of 92 ships had disappeared without a trace.
