Chapter 295: Everything's Worth Something

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Death Legion was annihilated silently. Despite Kyaji’s menacing reputation, it still ended up destroyed, without even a body to show for it. Ye Chong had no interest in Kyaji or its pilot, of course. He just wanted to make sure that the guy was dead.

Since he had made his move, there must be no loose ends. This was always Ye Chong’s way of doing things. He absolutely would not believe that any person could survive an attack like that.

On the starship, Mi Qi and family were white as a sheet. The Death Legion was an infamous organization in the He Yue galaxy, and now it was annihilated in just minutes. No one would believe what they had seen. Death Legion pirates had been around for years, making enemies wherever they went, but still they lived ever so easily, powerful as they were.

However, the formidable Death Legion was now being casually erased from living history, under the hands of the mech squad they hired.

Mi Qi and the family felt goosebumps all over, and a chill running up their spine.

Anti-detection mechs!

That was their first thought.

Anti-detection mechs were not a new idea. Back in the days, the Three Aristocratic Families were infamous for their anti-detection technology. They had relied on anti-detection mechs to spread their power, rising to the forefront of technology in the He Yue galaxy.

However, as technology improved, holographic scanning systems became more and more advanced. Early anti-detection mechs could now be easily scanned through normal holographic scanning systems. On the other hand, anti-detection technology had reached a bottleneck and stagnated, a problem that was shared by all the Three Aristocratic Families. All these years, none of the aristocratic families have had any breakthrough.

To many, anti-detection mechs were slowly becoming a relic.

Now, however, Mi Qi and his family had just witnessed true anti-detection technology at work!

The multicolored mechs suddenly became an object of mystery to them. It was like seeing an old, scraggly beggar suddenly killing a Jie expert without breaking a sweat. The contrast was too strong for them to accept.

What was happening to the world?

The mysterious Papatte Mech Squad was now increasingly mystical to them. Such a powerful mech squad had deployed so many elites just for 10 million credits. Mi Qi suddenly felt that he had a stroke of luck.

Old Chief Guo was also feeling a little dazed. He had seen them fight before, and it was bloody, but this time was completely different. This was weird! This was scarily weird! Anyone who saw what happened on the holographic screen would be shocked, Old Chief Guo was sure of it. To him, what happened could be shot into a movie worthy of an award, even if he knew that he was no movie director.

In fact, right after Ye Chong issued his orders, he was soon aware of this anti-detection issue. However, he soon frowned again, not because there was a problem with Sang Tie’s commands, but because Ye Chong had thought of another problem.

Full-skeleton mechs were entirely suited for stealthy attacks, but this unique feature also made them too eye-catching. Hence, they were not suitable for normal transportation. It looked that he needed to make some normal mechs for the Sang tribe members for normal use.

”Sigh, more spending!” Ye Chong sighed to himself. Just how much was 5000 mechs worth? Ye Chong’s heart ached.

Sang Tie’s face appeared on the holographic screen. ”Squad Captain, the enemy is destroyed. We have 23 injured and 11 dead.” Sang Tie reported solemnly to Old Chief Guo. With outsiders around, they treated Old Chief Guo as the leader, when in fact, they were always reporting to Ye Chong.

Old Chief Guo shuddered inside as he recalled the way they killed emotionlessly, but he braced himself and said, ”Alright, get some rest.”

Ye Chong was a little surprised. Despite their advantage, they still lost so many. The pirates were indeed as powerful as rumored. He had watched the entire battle, and saw how the desperate pirates fought like a cornered animal - dangerous and vicious. If Sang Tie’s commands were less effective, they would have lost more people.

It was Sang Fan who consoled him from the side, ”Don’t mind it too much, sir. Loss is inevitable in war.” Back at the Sang Family Village, this level of loss was all too common. Before they had proper weapons, their hunting troops would often leave and never return. This was one of the main reasons the village size quickly shrank to its current form.
