1309 Ultralisk (1/2)

”Boss, who do you know has ever survived an attack from the Valsalrians? It's either they're already dead or have nothing left to lose! They will never let us go! Not even if we surrender! Since this base is surely going to be picked clean, we should use this chance to distract them while we run!” the same subordinate said.

”You've got a point there…” said Gararizz. It was true. Hardly enough could survive a Valsalrian attack. Either they could repel them completely or die trying. Other than the stronger races, no one else would be able to see the light of the stars once it was over.

The Valsalrians had found their base, and it would no longer be feasible to defend it. The Valsalrian accepted no negotiations. They were pirates after all, and they had the same rationale whenever they headed out for a raid. Fight and die, or surrender everything and live.

Hence, the best logical move would be to destroy the current fleet and escape. At the very least, the Valsalrians would not know who did it, and if they did, it would be hard to track them down in the infinite space.

”F*ck them! F*ck them hard!” Gararizz roared. He had fought hard, poured out his blood, sweat, and tears to build his fortune. He was not going to give it up so easily!

”That's the spirit, Boss!” the subordinate cheered. He was one of the victims of the Valsalrian's raids. His home planet was very much like Earth; it had primitive technology. The Valsalrians came and destroyed two-thirds of the entire population, enslaving everything the entire planet has to offer to the highest bidder. From that day on, every single sentient lifeform on the planet was enslaved.

That little subordinate of his was one of the lucky few who got picked up by another passing pirate. As such, the hatred and resentment he had for the Valsalrians were bone-deep. Alone, he would not have the strength to fight any Valsalrian fleet. However, since he had worked his way up to stand as Gararizz's right-hand man, he would not let this chance to have his revenge slip away, although it was only a small fleet of Valsalrians.

Jiang Fei and the rest of the fleet had no idea what Gararizz was planning for them. Domingo was even cheerfully waiting for the opposite to accept their terms of surrender! It was actually rare for anyone to surrender. Most of the pirate groups he had raided before would rather destroy everything they had instead of give it up to the Valsalrians.

”Umm, Captain? I'm detecting a strange wave pattern coming from the surface of the planet. It's a powerful one!” said an operator who was the fleet's science officer.

”Trace and identify the source,” said the captain. Such a thing appearing in the middle of battle was never a coincidence or a result of natural causes.

”Tracing…” said the science officer as he quickly operated multiple pieces of machinery.

”What's going on there?” Jiang Fei asked.

”Nothing important. Let them handle it,” Domingo said.

”I see,” Jiang Fei said, ending the inquiry there as Domingo seemed to be extremely confident.

A few minutes later, a flash of light was seen coming from behind the moon of the planet. It was so bright that it even overshadowed the light of the binary-stars.

”Is that…” the captain gasped as he saw the bright light. Being a captain for so many years, that bright light was extremely familiar.

”That's a wormhole! The enemy opened it there!” said the science officer after he took a single look at it.

”Something's coming out!” said the science officer while flashes of red signals appeared one after another on the monitoring screen.

Rooooar!

A powerful psychic wave could be felt, and when the wave flooded the ship and everything as far as the binary stars could see, everyone, besides Jiang Fei, Domingo, and the captain of the ship was on the floor, pressing their heads as they grunted in pain.
