Tempest of the Stellar War-Novel2

Chapter 786: The Moral Integrity of an S-class Pirate

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Ice Spear City had entered a state of preparation for war. The current generation of citizens’ qualities of reacting to change were still relatively great. They didn’t panic despite hearing about pirates would be attacking the city. All the citizens had stayed in their home and the entire streets of the city were empty. The police system and the mineral-mining mecha were all expropriated. They were able to barely put together a mecha team of slightly less than 200 to defend the Ice Spear City. However, it was clear that such a “motley crowd” would at most be able to make up the numbers. Once they encountered the real mecha battle teams, it would collapse in just a short while. However, there were no other solutions. There were many different types of pirates. It was still hard to encounter one that only went after money and not the lives. However, some of the pirates couldn’t care less about the Milky Way Alliance’s rules and would kill, burn and rob without reserves. That would be truly dangerous.

Ai Xiaolu and the other 3 teams had already rushed out and disappeared within the endless ice field. The 4 teams were separated into 4 directions and would fight independently. At this moment, there were no such things as commanding strategy.

Redington and Shien did not escape. They also couldn’t totally disregard the impacts. Doing an all-out surveilance was also a must. However, Redington and Shien would never fire the first shot. If they could profit in a confused environment, they wouldn’t be afraid to snatch some achievements. However both of them knew clearly that fighting with the DK Pirate Crew would be equivalent to seeking their own death.

This didn’t mean that that the students of the Elite Academy weren’t strong. However, this trial was still an individual trial in nature. There wasn’t any teamwork and collaboration. As for the DK Pirate’s column of mecha, they had 100 small sections. Every section could be considered to have experienced over a hundred battles and their chemistry and collaboration were rather good. Although the transaction this time wasn’t huge, the Cronode Family would be giving them a huge sum of rewards on top of whatever they raided and robbed. Therefore the strength of this column would definitely not be weak.

Shien’s and Redington’s plan was to wait till the other party retreated. During which, they would try to eliminate 1 or 2 small sections. Fighting them head-on was definitely not possible.

However, the bad news had reached them. Tank City had been burned to the ground. When the news had spread to Ice Spear City, it still caused panic. Also, the connection to the outside world was still in the state of being cut off.

Typical pirates would not leave any clues behind unless they were the S-class pirates that were wanted by the Milky Way Alliance. These pirates had already lost all humanity. Whatever human rights and regulations on war captives from the Milky Way Alliance would be completely disregarded by them. They would kill the men while the women would be sold off as slaves. One could say that they were the darkest side of humans left behind by the Interstellar Voyage age.

Most of the time, there were highly skilled masters within such pirate crews.

At this moment, Tank City was immersed in a sea of flame and cries. Bartley looked down at this scene from high ground as the soldiers were raiding and robbing the city. It was obvious their collaboration with the Cronode Family did not include this. However they were pirates and weren’t the subordinates of the Cronode Family. Since they were here, they couldn’t return without any thing. action

“Column captain, it was unexpected that such an inconspicuous mineral planet was this rich.” said a lean and tall middle-aged man of approximately 50 years old who were standing beside Bartley. He was the chief of staff of the DK Pirate’s brutal Column army, Karen. The truth was for some of the stronger Pirate Crews, they had even stricter regulations than regular soldiers. They were all managed by in a highly-militarised way.

A cold smile appeared on the side of Bartley’s mouth. “When there were people, there was wealth. If the resources from just one mineral area were enough to satisfy us, we, DK, would be too cheap.”

“The Cronode Family would have felt cheated but they can’t tell others about it.”

Bartley shook his head slightly. “The Cronode Family definitely knew clearly that we would be doing this. They aren’t idiots. Since they had hired us, they have to pay the price. Moreover, no matter what the losses are, they wouldn’t be the biggest loser. The bigger the commotion we cause, the more they would be pleased.”

“Column captain was brilliant to completely see through them.” laughed Karen. “It was because of these rich people that gave us the space to survive.”

However, Bartley didn’t smile and his face was still cold and stern. “Asked our brothers to hurry up. We still have some time and we can take down Ice Spear City on our way.”

Karen was stunned for a while. “Column captain, there is a little problem at the Ice Spear City...”

After all, Shien Cronode, Ai Xiaolu and the rest from Elite Academy were there. The standards of these people were not ordinary. Currently they had zero casualties among their soldiers. If they went to that place...

Bartley glanced at Karen but didn’t say a word. Karen could felt a chill down her spine and immediately relayed the orders.

The Cronode Family had truly miscalculated. They had thought that the DK Pirate Crew would not trespass a certain point and that would be preparations for their future collaborations. However, Pirate Crews that were classified as S-class would usually not act like the norm.

Karen was clear. Why would Column captain do so? This was because the blood and fire in Tank City had excited the Column captain. Since they had already started killing, they had to satisfy the urge to kill. There wasn’t any meaning in killing those that couldn’t retaliate. If he wanted to kill, he wanted to kill those that could put up a fight.

When one was strong, they could be stubborn. There wasn’t any reasoning.

However, the situation seemed to have lost control. Karen was truly afraid. Pirates were about being untraceable when they arrived and left. If they were trapped in Aisbotan, that would be a road to death.

The Cronode Family had contacted DK through the underworld. The two parties wouldn’t meet directly. Some of the things were better off with both parties understanding what the other wanted. After all, the Cronode Family had depended on this to rise in power. If it was any other small pirate crew, they might just leave after getting some benefits. However, everyone had overlooked the blood-thirsty Bartley.

When he heard the words “Elite Academy,” Karen was already feeling a little worried. She had not expected it to really happen.

Blood-thirsty Bartley was famous even in the underworld. An Earth Grade master and was ranked on the X-ranking Board. He was a major pillar of DK too. Countless Federation’s elites were killed in his hands. Among which, there was even a major general.

No one knew what grudges Bartley had with Elite Academy. However when there was a chance of slaughtering the people from Elite Academy, Bartley would never let it past.

After Bartley’s orders were relayed, the army had evacuated from Tank City in just 3 short hours. With consecutive WARNING sirens, Tank City had completed become a sea of flames.

Nothing was left!

The transport ships were transporting resources and some slaves constantly towards the battle ships. As for the column of mecha, they had changed direction and headed towards the Ice Spear City.

Bartley had already obtained what he wanted most from the pillaging of Tank City. There were only 41 little kitties. These were in fact the most valuable objects of all.

Students of Elite Academy, no matter male or female, could be sold for a good price. If there was a beautiful girl and she was a virgin, she would be worth an astronomical amount.

The data was clear. When he saw Snow Li, Ai Xiaolu and a few of the others girls, Bartley’s expression had turned extremely hideous and cold. It was especially so for Snow Li and Ai Xiaolu. He knew about the two of them. One of them was a blessed girl that was born in the Dancing Ice Dragon year while the other was the beloved daughter of the Ai Financial Group. Hehe. This Cronode Financial Organisation was truly up to something bad.

As for Shien Cronode, Bartley did not have any interest in him. Although he disregarded rules and did whatever he wished, it didn’t mean that he was brainless. The only bottom line was to keep the life of Cronode. In this way, he could still fulfil the transaction.

The column of mecha army was advancing on the icy field in mighty contingents. Bartley was at the forefront operating a super mech. He liked the feeling of moving in an open field with the world under his feet.

Obviously, Bartley was looking forward to the battle. That would allow his almost frozen blood and soul to feel a little warmth and remind him that he was still alive.

... What was that thing?

At the edge of the ice field, there seemed to be a little black dot.
