"But..."
Fang Er picked up the communicator, about to explain the situation to Li Wan, when he suddenly saw the enemy fleet quietly retreating.
What the hell!
You touched me and now you want to run?
Who gave them the courage?
He immediately dropped the communicator, too preoccupied to chat with Li Wan, and shouted back at Mo De.
"Chase them!"
"Not a single enemy ship must escape!"
Three Eternity Storm-class starships, at full throttle, pursued the enemy.
The Enforcement Team's Emperor-class flagship blocked their path, forcing them to maneuver around it.
But the moment the Skyfire Pirates made their move, the Enforcement Team noticed their intention.
Li Wan's voice sounded again from the communicator.
"Skyfire Pirates!"
"Stop your ships immediately and accept the Enforcement Team's judgment!"
"Otherwise, I will order you to be blown to smithereens!"
Fang Er: ...
Stop my ass.
Those guys were at the edge of the asteroid belt. If they escaped into the open void, it would be almost impossible to catch them again!
"Li Wan! I don't have time to bicker with you now!"
"Once I've dealt with them, I'll explain!"
With that, he urged Mo De again.
"Hurry up, don't let those sons of bitches escape!"
On the Emperor-class flagship of the Enforcement Team, Captain Li Wan froze upon hearing Fang Er's reply.
Holy crap!
Has the Enforcement Team been ignored?
"Open fire!"
"Blow the Skyfire Pirates to smithereens immediately!"
"The authority of the Enforcement Team cannot be challenged!"
As he finished speaking, his subordinates immediately took action.
One of the two planet-destroying cannons suddenly changed.
A mass of crimson light rapidly condensed at the muzzle!
Hot, dazzling, and constantly expanding.
Like a small sun!
"Plop..."
Beside Fang Er, Jones, who had witnessed this scene, collapsed to the ground.
"It's over... It's over..."
He murmured to himself, his face ashen, large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
This was a planet-destroying cannon!
A weapon capable of destroying planets!
Fang Er was also stunned.
Holy crap, do they have to be this ruthless?!
Using a planet-destroying cannon right off the bat?
Don't they have money to burn for energy?
The Enforcement Team's actions plunged him into a dilemma.
If he didn't stop, the planet-destroying cannon would fire at any moment.
Once locked onto by a weapon of this caliber, escaping would be a fool's dream.
But if he didn't stop, those enemies would vanish without a trace.
However, they had turned off their negative energy field before the Enforcement Team arrived, so Li Wan had no idea what they had encountered.
The firing speed of the planet-destroying cannon was not fast; the energy condensation process was quite lengthy, which was not a disadvantage.
On the contrary, this feeling of awaiting doom was the most tormenting!
"Open the hatch!"
Fang Er suddenly shouted at Mo De, turned, and walked to the side, putting on a spacesuit.
Jones, as if struck by an idea, quickly shouted, "Brother, if you're going to escape, take your old brother with you!"
This guy was coming out of the cabin at this moment; he must be planning to run!
Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui were also stunned.
Duke...
When did he become so cowardly?
This isn't right!
They stared blankly at Fang Er as he walked out of the command cabin, unsure how to describe their feelings.
It felt like...
They were abandoned?
Otherwise, why wouldn't the Duke take them with him?
Fang Er ignored Jones, who was following him, and left the command cabin on his own.
Behind them, airlock doors automatically closed after the two of them passed.
The hatch opened, and he leaped out, gripping the hull and flipping himself outside the starship.
Stepping onto the hull, he gazed at the Emperor-class starship thousands of meters away, casually took out a Tomahawk missile, and then seemed to strap some additional items onto it.
The next moment, the missile ignited and roared towards the Emperor-class starship.
The red exhaust trail was exceptionally conspicuous in the void, and without air resistance, the Tomahawk's speed was several times faster than on Earth!
What was originally around 800 kilometers per hour now reached at least Mach 3!
On the Emperor-class starship, the moment the Tomahawk ignited, Li Wan's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
This so-called Skyfire Pirate group, having just made some money and acquired a few more starships, had become this arrogant!
Not only did they disregard the Enforcement Team, but they even dared to attack them?
Who gave them the nerve!
Without Li Wan needing to issue an order, the Tomahawk missile was intercepted by a high-energy laser when it was about three hundred meters away from the Enforcement Team's flagship.
"Boom!"
The explosion's light flashed and disappeared in the void.
The explosion at such close range caused no damage to the Emperor-class starship; it didn't even sway.
Li Wan let out a contemptuous laugh.
With such tactics, they dared to attack an Emperor-class starship?
"Captain, look at that!"
A subordinate beside him pointed outside the ship in surprise.
Li Wan followed the direction of his finger and saw countless tiny objects shooting towards the ship from the center of the explosion.
Were those...
Xian Nu coins?
Li Wan was a bit confused. What was this guy trying to do?
Before he could figure it out, Fang Er fired another Tomahawk.
After intercepting it, countless Xian Nu coins also flew out.
Xian Nu coins were a purified form of high-energy minerals, exhibiting excellent hardness, toughness, and heat resistance.
This allowed them to withstand the instant high temperatures caused by the Tomahawk missile's explosion.
Fang Er seemed to be having fun, launching Tomahawk missiles one after another, each with dozens of large boxes filled with Xian Nu coins attached.
If it's about money, I've never lost!
After several exchanges, Li Wan seemed to understand his intention.
Just as the planet-destroying cannon was about to complete its charge and attack the Skyfire Pirates, he suddenly ordered.
"Terminate the planet-destroying cannon launch!"
Little guy, he's trying to smash me with Xian Nu coins!
Hehehehe, I'm very satisfied!
Keep smashing, keep smashing, let's see how long you can keep this up!
Seeing the ball of light in the muzzle of the planet-destroying cannon suddenly disappear, Jones looked at the still busy Fang Er in utter confusion.
"Brother, you're amazing!"
"You could even think of this method?"
Fang Er glared back at him.
"Stop with the nonsense. The Enforcement Team has stopped; quickly tell the brothers to continue the pursuit!"
Damn it, this time was bought with money!
How can this guy have no foresight at all?
The starship moved again, and this time the Enforcement Team took no action.
Because Fang Er was still sending them money with missiles...
Each Tomahawk missile delivered at least five hundred thousand Xian Nu coins!
In just this short while, he had launched more than a dozen Tomahawk missiles, and he was still continuing!
