“Grand Marshal, as long as you promise to keep your promise, what does it matter if our lives are lost on Planet Balmer?”A pirate stood up and said.
“Don’t worry. As long as you partic.i.p.ate in this mission, I will fulfill my promise no matter if it’s life or death!”Jiang Fei said.
“That’s fine! Count me in!”The pirate said. Now, he only hoped that his descendants would be able to clear their names and live openly. What could he do even if he threw away his rotten life?
“Count me in!”
“I’m in!”
..
The rest of the pirates also stood up to welcome him. Only a few pirates remained silent. After all, not everyone was willing to die for their descendants. It was not like there were no people who were afraid of death.
“Alright!”! However, there was something that I have to say first. Since you want to take this opportunity to clear your names, you have to go all out. If anyone tries to play tricks and only brings a small group of people to make up the numbers, or if they try to play tricks on planet Balmo without putting in any effort, then don’t blame me for being unscrupulous!”Jiang Fei warned with a dark face.
“General, don’t worry. Although we are not decent people, we know how to write the Word ‘faith’. Since we have agreed to your terms, we will do our best. This life will be the price for our children and grandchildren!”Said an old pirate, the two sons beside him had a determined look on their faces. The three of them had already thought about it. Even if they all died in battle, they had to win a good future for the little ones.
“Okay!”Jiang Fei nodded. However, he saw the expressions of the few pirates change.
Previously, the Pirates had agreed to such a painful task. In fact, many of them had already planned to play dirty. Although they had accepted the task, they did not plan to bring all of their subordinates along, some of them did not even plan to go personally. They only wanted a small number of their subordinates to join in the fun and get a chance to clear their names.
Now that Jiang Fei had said that, many of them regretted it. After all, only a few people like the old pirates would really risk their lives for their descendants. They wanted the pirates to talk about morality and family, it was still a little too whimsical.
However, Jiang Fei did not care about it at all, he continued to speak slowly, “When I came out, I heard Aurelia mention that the war between the Empire and the resistance was currently at a stalemate. She was preparing to train the new army. As for the person she was training with…”
When Jiang Fei said this, he suddenly stopped talking. However, which of the Pirates present was an idiot? Even with their eyes closed, they knew why Jiang Fei had brought this up. If the pirates listened to Jiang Fei and carried out his mission, they would obediently go to their deaths and seek happiness for their descendants.
If the pirates gave up this opportunity and did not carry out Jiang Fei’s mission, would Aurelia’s new army be the target of her training? It had to be the Pirates!
The pirates did not doubt the authenticity of Jiang Fei’s words. After all, the previous dozen or so pirates were living examples. They did not buy Jiang Fei’s words, then, they were completely destroyed by Aurelia’s army.
Everyone in the entire universe knew of Aurelia’s reputation. Even the generals of the resistance were terrified when they heard the name, let alone the pirates, therefore, when Jiang Fei carried Aurelia out, the effect was surprisingly good.
“General, don’t worry. We will do our best to ensure the safety of your treasure!”The pirates all stood up and said.
It could not be helped. They had to bow their heads. Now, the two paths in front of the pirates were not easy to walk. If they helped Jiang Fei to protect the treasure, they would face an outsider of the regular army. When that happened, there would be a lot of casualties, it would be fortunate if one-third of them could come back alive.
However, the other path would be certain death. Facing Aurelia’s army, they would not be able to resist at all. Moreover, if they died because of Jiang Fei’s quest, at least their families would still be protected, there would also be someone who could inherit the wealth.
However, if they were destroyed by Aurelia’s army, their children, as the children of the Pirates, would also die without a doubt. All their wealth would be confiscated.
Since they were going to die anyway, there was still a chance of survival in carrying out the mission. At the very least, they could protect their children and wealth. Then, the Pirates had no choice but to fight to the death. Only a fool would fight to the death.
Therefore, these pirates did not care what they thought before. Now, they were all willing to carry out Jiang Fei’s order to protect the so-called treasure.
“Very good!”Jiang Fei nodded and said to the pirates, “Since you are all willing to carry out this mission, I will briefly explain the requirements of the mission.”
“General, please speak!”The pirates all listened attentively.
“This mission requires all of you to go all out. All of your combat personnel must be in place. If anyone slacks off, don’t blame me for being impolite!”Jiang Fei said.
“General, don’t worry. Since we have agreed, we will definitely do it!”The pirates said.
“Okay!”! “Secondly, after your fleet arrived at Planet Balmo, only s.h.i.+ps of the military grade and above will be left behind. The other s.h.i.+ps will all be blown up and sunk in the planet’s low-earth orbit to prevent outsiders’s.h.i.+ps from approaching,”Jiang Fei said.
“Okay!”The Pirates did not have any objections. After all, the armed merchant s.h.i.+ps were not worth much. Moreover, they often used this tactic. Blowing up the armed merchant s.h.i.+ps in low-earth orbit could create a large amount of s.p.a.ce trash, these high-speed s.p.a.ce junk was extremely destructive to the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
“After that, those of you who have reached the warrior level and above will need to land on the surface of Planet Balmo. You must guard my treasure well!”Jiang Fei reminded them.
“Yes! General, don’t worry. Even if we risk our lives, we will not let your treasure be lost!”At this point, the Pirates had already accepted their fate, in truth, they were resigned to their fate. All they wanted now was for their children and grandchildren to be happy. Their lives were nothing more than that.
“Yes! We will be counting on You Then!”Jiang Fei nodded.
“General, when do we leave?”Asked one of the pirates.
“As soon as possible. I need you to reach planet Balmer in half a month!”Said Jiang Fei.
“Alright! General, don’t worry. We will go and gather the fleet now!”The pirate leaders said in unison.
“Alright! Everyone, please disperse!”Jiang Fei waved his hand.
Soon, the Pirates left one after another. These pirates did not stay on Saturn for long. They immediately boarded their own s.h.i.+ps and returned to their own nest.
After returning to their nest, most of the pirates gathered their forces and led their fleets to planet Balmo. After all, no one wanted Aurelia’s army to visit their own nest. However, there were a few pirate leaders who were afraid of death.., after they returned to their nest, they immediately packed up their men and prepared to escape with their underlings. They gave up on their own nest and prepared to hide in another place. They would talk about it after they had escaped from the limelight.
