Numerous shuttles are like busy black worker ants, constantly going back and forth between the Goliath-class factory ship and the few captured warships.

The Space Marines teamed up with Technopriests and Servant Slaves to loot the three orc ships, completely restored and purified the Midnight Lord's Ruler-class cruisers, and added the Traderronin's Conquest-class Star Sea Voyager to the fleet.

Suzheng, bridge.

Fu Qinghai sat in the captain's seat, and the Space Marines brought three "people" in different costumes to him.

A dying Space Marine.

An Orc dressed as a pirate.

A beautiful woman dressed in rich clothes.

The first two were bound and escorted.

Fu Qinghai first looked at the woman:

"Hello, Lady Yolanda Ateira."

The woman bows and salutes:

"Hello, honorable Aoyama Khan, thank you for saving the Emperor Coin from the clutches of the orc pirates, and I would like to express my sincerest thanks on behalf of the Atella family and the rest of the crew."

Before the woman came to meet Fu Qinghai, she seemed to have dressed up deliberately, and she didn't see the embarrassment of the pirates before, wearing a baroque style captain's costume, which had both Gothic religious elements and hedonistic colors, gorgeous and capable.

"What are your plans after that, Lady Yolanda?"

Fu Qinghai asked, pistling his chin.

Yolanda Ateira said sincerely:

"My lord, if you can escort me and my crew back to the Five Hundred Worlds of Otrama, and to repay you for saving your life, I am willing to give the Emperor Coin as a token of gratitude."

Eugene Eleanor, who was next to him, lit up when he heard this.

The Conquest-class Star Sea Voyager is no ordinary ship, it is a cargo ship larger than a cruiser in terms of size, and technically it has been built and used since the Great Expedition, with many ancient designs that have been lost.

A conquest-class Star Sea Voyage Ship, just send it away, it seems that this "Altera Family" has a lot of power in the Extreme Star Domain, and it belongs to the kind of wealthy merchant ronin dynasty.

Fu Qinghai has read the original series, but it has not brought any reference value, because it tells the story of the 41K era, and now it is the 31K era, and many of the future famous merchant ronin dynasties do not exist yet.

Eugene was about to instigate Fu Qinghai to agree, but Fu Qinghai waved his hand and said:

"I can escort you and your crew back to the Five Hundred Worlds, and I don't need the Emperor Coin as payment."

Yolanda was slightly surprised when she heard this.

Eugene was directly stunned, thinking to himself, Khan, do you know what you're talking about? That's a Conquest-class Star Sea Voyage Ship!

Fu Qinghai stretched out a finger:

"I have only one condition."

Yolanda's face was serious:

"Tell me."

"The Altera family must open a new trade route, from the five hundred worlds of Otlama in the Extreme Star Domain to the Marquez King Zone in the Hazy Star Field."

Yolanda shook her head slightly:

"With all due respect, my lordship, I can't make the decision on such a major matter as opening up a shipping route alone, and I have to discuss it with my family before I can decide...... What you call the 'Marquez King' star area, are there any rare specialties there? ”

Fu Qinghai smiled and said:

"There's a new world of foundry there, called Phaeton, and as for the specialty...... We're heading to the Phaeton Casting World, so you can see for yourself. ”

Yolanda nodded.

Just to see, the guy who chose to become a ronin merchant was full of curiosity and adventurous spirit in his bones, and she also wanted to know what was the magic of the "Phaeton Casting World" in Fu Qinghai's mouth.

Fu Qinghai asked his men to send Yulanda back to the cabin to rest.

Then he looked at the tightly bound green skin.

As soon as Fu Qinghai turned his head, Joshida kicked the orc pirate's knee behind, causing it to kneel down with a "poof".

Fu Qinghai looked at the green-skinned orc more than two meters tall with interest, its fangs on both sides were broken, there was a twisted scar on its face, and the top of its head was sparsely haired.

"The Bloodaxe Clan?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

It's in the Low Tego language.

The orc knelt on the ground, threw his head back and held his chest up, looked like hob meat, spoke in a low Gothic accent, and said loudly:

"That's right, we are the invincible and great Blood Axe Clan, I advise you to let me go now, otherwise the super large fleet led by our Iron Mask Marshal Boss Sskin will definitely level your tribe, canned shrimp!"

"Poof......

Qiao Shida behind him couldn't help but smile.

How do you do that...... Giving such tough statements in such a humble posture?

Fu Qinghai was a little speechless, waved his hand, and said:

"Don't talk to me about these useless calves. I ask you, what is your relationship with the dead war boss? ”

"It's the captain, I'm the first officer."

The orc replied.

"How long have you been operating within the Empire? Where did the intelligence come from? And who are you employed? ”

Fu Qinghai then asked.

The Bloodaxe Clan is one of the orc clans, and as the first Orcs to come into contact with the Human Empire, they have learned many human tactics, trade equipment and vehicles with humans, and sometimes even serve as mercenaries for the Inquisition.

All of these facts are enough for members of other orc clans to label them as "dangerous, treacherous, cowardly" and "not orc-like from head to toe". In fact, the Blood Axe is indeed the clan that is the most able to judge the situation.

The techno-priests studied the three orc ships, two of which were rudimentary warships without subspace engines. There is no subspace engine, which means that it is impossible to travel long distances, and this is not a border area, so how did the orcs get in?

In addition, the Savage-class gunboat is a powerful orc warship with dense firepower, but the range is very short, and the speed is not fast, and the orcs must have ambushed in advance and then succeeded in a sneak attack. Yolanda confirmed Fu Qinghai's conjecture, which is also one of the doubts.

The orc replied with his chin tilted:

"We were hired by the Evil Moon Clan, and they provided us with chopping, spears, and boats, and we came to plunder the territory of the Shrimp Empire, and we divided half of what we robbed."

"You're lying!"

Fu Qinghai pointed out without hesitation.

He kicked down a metal chest next to him, and with a "bang", the lid opened, and a large number of throne coins flowed out of it, forming a small slope on the steps.

"This is the chest we found in your captain's cabin, if the Evil Moon Clan hired you, why is it containing Throne Coins instead of teeth?"

Fu Qinghai squinted at the orc and asked.

Orc teeth are the common currency of the orc tribe, and the Evil Moon Clan is the richest orc clan because their teeth grow faster than others.

"Uh......"

This orc is obviously not very good at lying, and after being exposed by Fu Qinghai, he was stunned for a while and didn't know what to say.

Josda pinched the orc's chin and twisted its face over, then raised his hand to "snap" the two big-eared posts and shook them up.

The orc's face was swollen through the armor, and there were only two broken fangs left, and the flesh was broken by Qiao Shida's two slaps, which made the orc hiss, and his whole face was numb, and blood mixed with broken teeth flowed down.

"Answer whatever you ask, be honest."

Joshida said indifferently.

"Okay, I said, I said......"

The orc's eyes and nose were squeezed by swollen cheeks, and he muttered indistinctly:

"It's the Dunbar family in the Calisis Star District, what do they provide us with a robbery target...... Intelligence information, including routes of travel and firepower. ”

Oh, the nobles of the nest who cooperate with the orcs?

Fu Qinghai and Qiao Shida glanced at each other.

"Ask Yolanda Altera if she knows the Dunbar family."

Fu Qinghai turned his head and said to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu went to the cabin on the lower deck, and soon returned, approaching Fu Qinghai's side and whispering:

"There is indeed a Dunbar family in the Kalysis Star District, who are Ronin Traders, not Hive nobles, and are also trading partners of the Atatra family."

"Interesting ......"

Fu Qinghai touched his chin.

A ronin merchant who colludes with orc pirates.

The Calisis Star Region is not the garrison area and sphere of influence of the Brotherhood of Divine Machines, and he doesn't want to care about this kind of trivial and bullshit shit that he doesn't want to care about.

But it can be sold to the Alien Inquisition for a favor.

"Put it down and lock it up, don't kill it."

Fu Qinghai commanded.

In case evidence is needed in the future, this orc is a human witness.

"You're the war boss in the canned shrimp, I'm going to fight you alone, and if you win, you have to let me go!"

The orcs were still shouting when they were dragged down.

Fu Qinghai didn't bother to pay attention to it.

You can't even beat Josda and still want to fight me?

Dreaming.

Fu Qinghai looked at the space marine, whose hands were tied behind his back and his head was lowered, his face was covered with scars, some of which had scabbed over, and some of which were still oozing blood.

When Fu Qinghai was talking to the others, he knelt beside him without saying a word, exuding an aura of decadence and dilapidation, motionless, as if he was dead.

"Who are you, and why are you being locked up in the Midnight Lord's Bilge Prison?"

Fu Qinghai asked at the Space Marine.

It was a prisoner found by the Space Marines of the Brotherhood of Divine Machines from a dungeon deep in the bilge, and when he was first discovered, he was almost dead and devastated to the point of being human.

The man slowly raised his head, his long black hair, which was wet with sweat and blood, was messily and curly against his forehead, grinning his lips all over the cracks, and said with a miserable smile:

"Hello, Aoyama Khan, I'm Ratani Karamanda, the former commander of the 17th Company of the Midnight Lords' Legion."

Fu Qinghai frowned with some confusion:

"You're the Midnight Lord's man, or a company commander, and then they locked you up?"

Stained with blood and sweat covered the bare upper body of the Night Bat Warrior, one can imagine the suffering he had endured from this tortured body.

Ratani Karamanda grinned, his teeth mutilated, his gums black and rotten, revealing a broken gum left after being violently destroyed, his tongue had been cut into split segments, and his speech was leaking:

"Haha... Ho, because I'm against the actions of the Primitives, because I'm trying to stop them from starting a rebellion. Because they would rather be dogs for Horus and the Sixteenth Legion, and would rather draw their swords against their blood brothers, and humiliate and torture them to the fullest, rather than be loyal to humanity and the Empire. I'm ashamed to be in the company of these miscellaneous things. ”

Loyalists among the Midnight Lords.

Fu Qinghai understood, he nodded:

"Jostar, untie him, Camille, take him to the medical deck for treatment."

Josda was about to untie his hands behind his back, but Karamanda shook her head, her face full of despair, and refused:

"Treatment? What treatments are received? I've become like this, my tendons and hamstrings have been broken, how else can I treat it...... If you're going to replace my limbs with those goddamn machines, you might as well kill me now, I've had enough of it anyway. ”

Josda was not happy to hear this, and despite Karamanda's cry of pain, she lifted him up from the floor and dragged his mangled body towards the medical deck.

Camille followed behind him unhurriedly, and said in his mouth:

"What I want to say is that you don't know anything about the concept of 'medical', Company Commander Karamanda."

Fu Qinghai shook his head and smiled, watching the three of them leave.

……

Fu Qinghai and a few of his men walked through the passage of the orc warship, looking at the sealed bags piled up in the passage, which seemed to be stuffed with flour.

Fu Qinghai twisted up a pinch of powder that leaked out, rubbed it on his fingertips, and asked:

"So, is this the main goal of your cross-star trade?"

"Yes."

Yolanda Ateira nodded and said:

"Ghost spark pollen is only produced on the planet Ikassos in the Kalisis Star Zone."

The planet of Ikasus is also unique in the Kalisis sector, as it is one of the few places in the sector where ghost sparks can grow, and the pollen of the ghost sparks can be refined into a combat potion widely used in the Imperial Guard's penal legions.

The Punishment Corps, also known as the Sin Corps, is a special formation of the Imperial Guard, which is usually composed of criminals, mutants, indebted people, anarchists, and a variety of other people who are classified as criminals.

This kind of Guilty Corps with a complex source of soldiers is very dependent on various combat potions, without which it is difficult to form combat effectiveness, and many gangs and families in the nest capital are also interested in various combat potions.

Fu Qinghai stood up and said:

"If you have a sales network for combat potions, then you should even go to the Phaeton Casting World to take a look, the combat potions produced there are no worse than ghost spark pollen, and even more diverse functions, and you can also customize flavors."

Fu Qinghai didn't mention side effects and addictive things.

Both the Punishment Legion and the Nest are gangs, and what side effects and addiction do you care about?

"Oh, really?"

Yolanda was obviously interested, and with graceful and jumping steps, two long legs wrapped in hunting trousers, followed Fu Qinghai into the main control room of the Onslaught-class assault ship.

What to do with these three orc warships is also a problem.

Fu Qinghai had no interest in orc technology at all.

Can orcs use vehicle vehicles and guns and cannons for humans?

Of course, it can be used, but once it is in the hands of humans, these shoddy things often have all kinds of problems: jamming, exploding, flame-out, overheating, smoking...... In the end, it will be blown into a ball of scrap metal, and by the way, you will be bloodied.

The orcs' technological creations = 99% of science and technology + 1% of "I think", but it is often this 1% of "I think" that becomes the key to their normal operation.

Fu Qinghai neither believes in engaging in the second brother Mao, nor does he have the "power to think", so he lacks interest in orc technology.

After the Beast War was over, the Mechanics Cult secretly dragged away the orcs' battle moon and took it to study, and thousands of years have passed, and the oil guys have not seen their own battle moons.

These three orc warships are really a bit of a chicken.

Keep it, don't use it, throw it away, it's a pity......

Yolanda Ateira, a woman who is good at observing words and feelings, saw Fu Qinghai's entanglement, so she proposed:

"Khan, our Altera family is willing to buy these three orc warships, you can hide them in a nearby meteorite belt, and when our family's fleet comes to the Hazy Star Field again, you can still find some valuable items from the parts disassembled from the orc warships."

That's a good plan.

Fu Qinghai didn't want to waste any more time, so he nodded:

"Yes."

There is no negotiation with Yolanda about the price, after all, it is to sell scrap, and the three orc warships are just an addition to this deal, and the follow-up route development and long-term cooperation are the focus.

Fu Qinghai turned his head and commanded at the crew:

"Study how to pilot orc warships and find a place to hide them in the planet's meteorite belt."

"That's right."

Fu Qinghai suddenly remembered something and emphasized:

"Don't touch that big red button in the middle of the main console!"
