“Sigh!”Jiang Fei looked at the children and sighed. Although their parents or grandparents were pirates and their hands might be stained with the blood of countless people, these children were innocent, if they were killed together, it would be legal, but it would not be humane.
According to the law, no matter how young these children were, they were still pirates. However, the law of the Universe Empire had zero tolerance for pirates. Therefore, these children could be said to be born with the death penalty, the sins of their ancestors made them born with the death penalty.
This law was actually first set in the era of the merchant alliance. At that time, the merchants suffered greatly from the pirates, and almost every family had people who died at the hands of the Pirates. Therefore, the merchants and the pirates could be said to have a deep blood feud.
And in the Great Universe era, due to the abundance of resources, the moral people who had eaten and drunk enough naturally wouldn’t advocate such a law that was tied together. They couldn’t tolerate the merchants deciding that the children of the Pirates deserved to die too.
However, the merchants only gave one reason to shut these moral people up — the children of pirates ate, wore, and used stolen goods, and their blood was stained with the merchants’blood! You’re telling me that they’re innocent? Then, are the merchants who died in the hands of the pirates innocent? Are the orphans and widows they left behind innocent?
Moreover, the merchants felt that they had killed the parents of the little pirates. Naturally, the little pirates would hate them. If they raised these people up, would they seek revenge? Rather than taking such a risk, it was better to eliminate the root of the problem!
Therefore, in the end, the merchant alliance resisted the pressure of the moral people and resolutely pushed forward the ruthless law against the pirates.
This law had been implemented for hundreds of years. However, Jiang Fei had to admit that only such a heavy law could deter the pirates. It would allow them to consider the consequences of doing so when they intended to become pirates.
At that moment, Jiang Fei looked at the children. There were indeed some of them who had hidden hatred in their hearts. However, he still could not bear to let Jiang Fei kill all these children just because of this.
“Grand marshal, what should we do with them?”Asked Eamon as he walked over.
“Let me take them away!”Said Jiang Fei as he waved his hand and took out his yacht.
“Come, organize the children to board the yacht!”Eamon did not say anything. After all, he had completed the mission. As for why Jiang Fei wanted the children, that had nothing to do with him.
Although Jiang Fei’s yacht was not very big, it could fit more than two hundred children. After that, Jiang Fei planned to leave the children to Han Tianyu. He should be able to take care of the children, jiang Fei did not ask the children to do anything in the future. As long as they could live a normal life, that would be enough.
As the children began to board the boat, Jiang Fei had to settle the rewards for the first phase of the quest with Eamon. “Players”did not do quests as volunteers.
“Very good! You have completed the first stage of the Quest!”Jiang Fei said to Eamon and the others with a satisfied expression.
“Thank you for your praise, Grand Marshal!”Eamon said with a smile.
“As a reward, you will receive three frigates and ten million imperial coins!”Jiang Fei said with a smile.
“Thank you, Grand Marshal!”Eamon, Liwei, and the others said.
10 million imperial coins was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either. According to the accepted price of “Players”, it could be sold for a lot of money. The price of the three frigates was about the same. They were both rewards that were neither too much nor too little.
Emon and Liwei were also quite satisfied with this reward. After all, this was only the first step of a chain quest.
“Boss Emon, how do we split it?”Liwei asked, pretending to be serious.
“Split what? Didn’t we agree? Other than the final reward of the t.i.tan battles.h.i.+p, the rest is yours. However, I reckon that it’s useless even if you want the game coins and battles.h.i.+ps. How about I buy them all at the market price?”Emon said.
“That’s good. It’s settled then!”Liwei smiled. The first sum of extra money had been successfully received!
Jiang Fei directly transferred the cash portion to Eamon. As for the other three frigates, he would have to wait for a while. He had Aurelia send them to Eamon.
“Great general, what do you need us to do for the second step of the Quest?”Eamon immediately asked. He was actually not very interested in the three frigates.
“HMM, the second step of the quest is more troublesome!”Jiang Fei spoke very slowly. It was mainly because he had to think about it as he spoke.
“It’s okay, general. We will help you complete the most difficult quest!”Said Levy. He had not done many quests in the past. Now that he had earned a lot of extra money, he was a little addicted to it.
“HMPH! As long as you are willing to do the quest!”Jiang Fei laughed coldly in his heart, then, he smiled and said to levy, Eamon, and the others, “The second step of this quest requires you to go deep into the Vasari Army and destroy a military base!”
“General, is there any specific requirements for this quest?”Eamon asked.
“No, as long as you destroy it!”Jiang Fei said.
“That’s Easy!”Eamon smiled and said.
“However, you have to be fast. You have to destroy the target within two days!”Jiang Fei said.
“General, where is that location?”Eamon asked.
“These are the coordinates!”Jiang Fei casually provided the coordinates of an important base of the Vasari army in the core galaxy.
Jiang Fei had once served in the Vasari Army, so he had a good understanding of the Vasari army, especially those large bases. They could not simply move around. Therefore, Jiang Fei chose one of them, he chose to be the target of Emon and the others.
“So Far?”Emon and the others were stunned. If they wanted to go back and fly the battles.h.i.+p, it was already too late.
“It’s okay. We Are Enough!”Liwei laughed indifferently. He felt that with his cheat, no one could stop him.
“Alright, Great Marshal, we will set off now!”Emon saw that time was tight and immediately led his men and Liwei to set off.
As they were going to infiltrate Vasari’s territory, Eamon and the rest had brought their own shuttles. Not only were these small flying machines stealthy, but they were also faster than battles.h.i.+ps. However, they did not have any protection or firepower, so they could only be used for traveling.
Soon, one after another, the shuttles rose into the air and headed straight for the next target of the quest.
When Jiang Fei saw that the “Players”had left, he returned to the yacht. At this time, the children had already been placed in the cabin at the back. Although it was a little crowded, there should not be any problems in the short term.
“I’ll find a place for you to settle down first. I don’t have time to send you to new China right now…”Jiang Fei took a deep breath and drove the yacht away from the pirate planet.
