Chapter 583: The Death of the Barber

The pirates had weapons, certainly, but without the help of a planetary defense systeh an airshi+p’s hull All they could do was try and survive the beating They had to watch as their fellow scallyere reduced to ash

All of the Star Division soldiers froether and alone Whether they fought in groups or on their own, the Star Division soldiers swept away all opposition Air support watched over them from above

A day on Moonfiend was roughly sixteen hours long Eight hours after dahen the sun was at its zenith, the sounds of fighting began to subside

Moonfiend Palace, main control room

“Boss,” Su Xiaosu called, looking at Lan Jue, “it’s more or less finished”

Lan Jue nodded back at her They weren’t trying to kill the whole planet There were too many, and a lot of the population weren’t pirates Discussions were held on the topic of taking soh, they couldn’t work it out

There were too many people With only the few shi+ps they had, there wasn’t enough space to take the a them as normal folk It was a recipe for future disaster

They need a proper military to solve this problem The Moonfiend Pirates were no er had a doe the Eastern military to send a few shi+ps and pick them up It wasn’t unthinkable that they would want to set up an outpost here

The Accountant had been busy these last few hours as well He’d been busy at the code for the defense systeram of his own It was phenoet passed it before they could assume control of the system

“Tell people to start packing it up Tiather on Moonfiend then head out,” Lan Jue told Xiaosu

“Aye”

The battleshi+ps they’d captured froe enough to take everyone they did afford them more space The miners, for instance, were undoubtedly innocent victims here Lan Jue had already ordered the Covfefe Master to head to the ather them up Those unfortunate souls ere kept in the Citadel’s prison were also brought aboard Those two groups alone filled Star Division’s t battleshi+ps

The battle for Moonfiend was easier than they’d thought Su Xiaosu’s intiral The pirates were sluggish, untrained, and lacked unity It was a recipe for quick collapse

Of course this is not to detract from the skill of the Star Division Months of excursions haveof victories had made them confident, and the benefits they reaped solidified their faith in the organization Despite le soldier It was miraculous, and filled Lan Jue’s men with conviction

Skyfire Avenue’s young warriors had been tempered in the fla the broken stars It filled Lan Jue with joy

“Jewelry Master Jewelry Master, if you’re hearinghim from the main monitor

Lan Jue was stunned for a moment Xiaosu answered and called up the feed The Accountant’s anxious face came into view

“What is it, Accountant?” Lan Jue asked inquiringly

The Accountant’s voice was low “See for yourself” The sound of his fingers on the keyboard preceded a change of video

From the picture they could see an expansive asteroid belt It was surging through pace like a rocky tidal wave Massive slabs of metallic rock smashed into each other at thousands of kilometers a second As the space between theht their eye

“What is this?” He asked the distressed hacker

“I have no idea,” the Accountant replied, “that’s whatAt first it just looked like cosmic turbulence With so et in the way, though, that should be iet out of here right away We can’t delay”

“Got it!” Lan Jue snapped his attention to Xiaosu “Send out the command, immediate evacuation Get everyone back as soon as possible, have the shi+ps ready to pick them up”

“Aye aye” The Division’s second-in-command didn’t question or hesitate This was her first ti the Accountant said was true, they shouldn’t have anything like that so deep in the Starfields!

Su Xiaosu shot to her feet once the orders were given The Accountant took up remote control of the planet’s systeo too Mika will bring Zeus-1 around to pick us up”

“Alright, let’s go” The Driver and Xiaosu were on his heels as he walked out of the roo with us or staying here? There’s cos this way”

Gabriel, who had until then been sitting quietly with his eyes shut, ju,” he said without a moment’s hesitation
