With Black Rose unconscious, the Black Rose capital ship was unable to move. What's worse is that the cyborgs trained by the ship's mother have no skills to drive ships, and Yang Yi naturally won't hire the pirate crew of the Port of the Dead to drive the Black Rose, so it seems that the Black Rose Pirate Group has been unable to move recently.

After informing Hill that something was going on with his Black Rose capital ship and it couldn't move, Hill suggested that he throw Black Rose on the berth first. If he is willing to take Renault's contract, Hill will send someone to watch the Black Rose from being taken captive, and then he will take A1 and Hydra to the rendezvous point to meet Hill's main fleet.

As the funds were increasingly depleted, Yang Yi had to make compromises. However, he did not intend to receive the same amount of money as he had been asked for in his original contract, and he told Hill that the contract would have to be renegotiated.

After some tense bargaining, every month Renault needs to pay 5,000 credits, 1,000 standard units of crystal ore and 1,000 standard units of high-energy gas as payment, during the service Renault will be responsible for meeting all the logistical needs of the Black Rose Pirate Regiment, including ship maintenance, resource replenishment, etc., and Yang Yi's Black Rose Pirate Regiment must obey all Renault's arrangements during this period.

According to the rules, Yang Yi will receive the first three-month payment. At the end of the three-month service period, if both parties are satisfied with the contract and decide to renew it, it is generally a one-year payment at a time. But if the intermediary decides not to do it, either the mercenary will voluntarily return a certain amount of compensation, or he will have to run away with the money at the risk of being hunted down by his employer and losing his reputation.

The crystal ore and high-energy gas that had been brought in early were stored in the A1 and Hydra hulls. Hydra first replenished its own crew, then stored some of it. And for the 15,000 credit points, Yang Yi specially invited someone from ATVX, who has an office in the Port of the Dead, to transform A1.

If these fifteen thousand credits are to be used for shipbuilding, it is estimated that it is not enough for even one Viking fighter engine, but it is enough for the A1 to disassemble unnecessary equipment and replace it with crew space.

If a thousand-meter giant ship like the A1 is really transformed like a conventional battle cruiser, it will at least be able to put down the strength of a full Marine Division. However, Yang Yi does not plan to do that, and one of the more notable characteristics of A1 is all-round. He dismantled the scientific research facilities that occupied a large part of the ship's hull, stored the scientific research materials in the database of A1, and then replaced them with crew space, directly pulling the crew establishment of A1 to the establishment of a marine regiment.

As for the corpses of those insects, they were all thrown directly by him to the black market in the Port of the Dead as a specimen auction. Anyway, those scientific maniacs are looking forward to more samples of insects for study every day. This is also considered waste utilization. And those scientific research instruments that can be left are kept, and those that can't be left are also thrown into the market for auction.

A1 then used these rewards to quickly train a group of biochemical troops, which were configured according to the standards of the most basic Marine Infantry Regiment. In view of the fact that the A1 is equipped with a hangar on the hull, the A1 has also trained a group of army aviation units to be equipped with marine regiments.

If all the money for these equipment was paid by Yang Yi, he would still be unable to bear it, so he also borrowed some money from Hill, but the interest rate was a bit high......

After everything was ready, Yang Yi took one last look at Black Rose, and then told Black Rose's crew that no one else should be allowed to approach Black Rose no matter what, and then stepped on the hull of A1 and left the Port of the Dead.

Koplu Star District, Imperial Territory, Rendezvous Point.

The Hyperion was silently moored in the vast void, as if waiting for something.

Immediately after, several white lights lit up, and A1 and Hydra flashed out of the white light. Appeared not far from Hyperion.

Both sides locked their weapons on each other's bodies almost simultaneously, but soon both sides let their guard down again.

"Is that the thousand-meter battleship?" Renault looked at the giant ship and frowned, "When did Mengsk come up with such a huge guy?" ”

"What the Empire is up to, perhaps we will never know all of it in our lifetime." Matehorner, the captain of the Hyperion, replied, "However, it is clear that their plans have been ruined by the mercenaries this time. ”

"I hope so...... If the Empire is fully equipped with such warships in the future, our life will really be difficult......"

Renault didn't expect that he would really be a prophecy. The Future Empire is really fully equipped with thousand-meter-class battle cruisers, but not the Ark-class, but the Gorgon-class. This kind of battleship is still only the length of the Behemoth class and the Minotaur class, and it is not as terrifying as the kilometer level.

"Hmm...... The legendary battlecruiser HMS Hyperion, the seat of James Reynolds, the number one terrorist of the Tyranid Empire, and the former flagship of Arcturus Monsk...... It's really better to see than to hear......" At the same time, Yang Yi looked at the Hubelion outside the panoramic window, and couldn't help muttering.

A1 didn't have a good impression of Renault at all: "The traitor's ship ......"

Yang Yi felt that if she hadn't pressed her, it was estimated that she would be able to turn the battleship sideways by now and directly greet Huberia with heavy cannons. It is estimated that there are only a few pages of records about Renault in her database that are good, and the reports of the empire are all smearing Renault, and the discussion on the forum about whether Renault is good or bad has never stopped.

"Commander, there's a communication request from the other side."

"Take it in."

Reynolds's weather-beaten face appeared on the comm screen. When I saw his face, I was a little surprised: "I didn't expect it to be a young and promising young man." ”

"Uh-huh." He didn't say much, "The Black Rose Pirates will be your people for the next three months." As long as you don't take us into the fire pit, we will obey you. ”

"Okay, in that case, we'll head to a planet of astral spirits first. Matt will then send you a briefing on the mission. ”

"Roger."

After a brief conversation, Yang Yi closed the communication. He told the truth and had a mediocre impression of Renault. Especially after the sentence "Forget Mengsk, let's fly away" in the heart of the swarm, his heart only has antipathy for Renault.

Personality charm aside, not to mention that in the crisis situation in the Koplu Star District, Renault's behavior is as strange as "don't want the rise of a big country, just the dignity of a small people". If you want to say that Renault really wants to go all the way to the dark, he also respects Renault as a man. As a result, the heart of the swarm was directly for the sake of the woman, and planned to give up the revolutionary cause. If it weren't for the fact that Kerrigan himself didn't plan to let go of Mengsk, and Mengsk didn't plan to let the two of them go, Renault might have really gone away, leaving the Hubelian brothers behind. As for whether the artifact saved Kerrigan for selfishness, for the sake of the Star Sector, or both, this is still to be determined.

In fact, if Renault said that I was willing to use it for the sake of women, even if it was the brothers around me, at least he would dare to act like Kerrigan, and he would not shy away from admitting that he could do whatever it took to achieve a certain goal. But the problem is that Renault is still willing to stab his brother in the ribs under the banner of saving the people of the empire from fire and water, and finally stabbed his brother directly for the woman in Char......

That being said, he does need such a contract right now to ensure that he does not face the brink of bankruptcy in the future. Right now, it should be to get the artifact, at least before Char, Renault can still guarantee that he will not stab the two brothers.

Probably......
