51: attack

Qihang Planet.

"Master, the spatial defense system of the 'Wind and Waves' Pirate Group has been completely cracked. I can shut it down or reverse it to restrict signals within the planet at any time."

"In addition, according to the intelligence gathered, the 'Wind and Waves' internal martial arts selection tournament will be held in 17 days, and all members will be present at that time."

Asroth reported in meticulous detail.

"Very good. Take advantage of this time to transfer the combat robot legion in batches through the wormhole and get them into position. We will wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

A smile appeared on Zhang Huaiyuan's face.

In interstellar warfare, the most important things are intelligence and intrusion.

And this was one of his greatest advantages.

As a product created under the Level 3 Knowledge Rule, Asroth was like an invincible special forces unit in the information world. Apart from entities like the Star Vault Supercomputer that could suppress it with absolute computing power, nothing else could stop its intrusion.

"However, Master, the system used by the 'Wind and Waves' fleet is independent of the spatial defense system, so there is currently no opportunity to infiltrate their fleet system."

"No matter. An under-strength small fleet is just a turtle in a jar once it's on the planet. Most importantly, during the operation, you must continuously jam the planet's signals. Do not let the people from 'Wind and Waves' contact the outside world, understand?"

"Rest assured, Master. These third-rate, loophole-ridden independent systems wouldn't even see my shadow if they had a million servers."

Asroth said with a tone of disdain.

"That's good."

Zhang Huaiyuan nodded slightly, not doubting it.

Although pirate culture was prevalent in the Free Star Alliance, there were ultimately many shady dealings, so they naturally dared not use the official system, "Statue of Liberty." They usually set up independent servers, the protective capabilities of which were barely better than nothing.

"By the way, did you get the footage of those two leaders of 'Wind and Waves'?"

"I got it, Master. York used the pretense of admiration, and the pirate happily shared the combat recordings of his two bosses."

As it spoke, the light screen flickered slightly, and two images were immediately projected into the air.

Zhang Huaiyuan activated his ability to look at them.

[Finn] Classification: Carbon-based life form. Abilities: Fire Snake—Fire-type summoning Transcendent ability. Can manifest elemental snakes capable of controlling fire power to a certain extent for attacks; the number increases with level. Ability Level: Intermediate. Transcendent Level: A. Favorability: -10 (He only has one attitude toward strangers—capture them to feed his precious summons). Strategy Suggestion: Not recommended. Luck Value: 9.

[Tarian] Classification: Carbon-based life form. Abilities: Overpressure Current—Lightning-type attack Transcendent ability. Can control high-voltage currents to assist in attacks; the power increases with level. Ability Level: Intermediate. Transcendent Level: A. Favorability: -8 (Takes pleasure in torturing living beings). Strategy Suggestion: Voluntarily ask to be electrocuted. Luck Value: 7.

"Hmm... one fire-type ability, one lightning-type ability. Fortunately, both are intermediate-level Transcendents, so they won't be hard to deal with. Since there is still plenty of time, I can make some preparations."

Zhang Huaiyuan analyzed their Transcendent diagrams in his eyes, searching for vulnerabilities and areas to target.

"Got it!"

A moment later, a flash of excitement appeared on his face. He quickly woke the screen and pulled up the operation interface.

"Plan modification... Naming: Anti-'Transcendent' series armor."

"Starting the first modification... Replacing heat-resistant materials... Replacing weapons..."

"..."

Watching Zhang Huaiyuan fall into a working state, Asroth quietly turned on the soundproofing equipment in the workshop and sent out a small robot to place enough bottled nutrient solution in a conspicuous position.

After doing all this, it silently hid its indicator light and waited for its master's call.

...

Seventeen days later, Planet 0126.

Outside the "Wind and Waves" Pirate Group base, hundreds of fierce-looking pirates were gulping down strong liquor while enjoying the fight between two mechs on the high platform.

This was their triennial grand event and the best way to get promoted.

Only members who ranked in the top ten for plundering wealth for the group and top ten for killing enemies during this period could participate.

The final top three would become reserve cadres of 'Wind and Waves'.

At this moment, one of the mechs held a clear advantage, with a particle cannon in one hand and a storm heavy machine gun in the other. Its terrifying firepower suppressed the opponent, forcing it to constantly dodge and defend, waiting for an opportunity.

"That's it, kill him, Moros!"

"Damn it, Hank, you softie, you can't even last three seconds, fight back! I bet 100,000 energy stones on you winning!"

They cheered wildly, enjoying the strong liquor, food, and intense combat performance. There were also those who had placed bets and, having lost, were cursing with red eyes, throwing wine bottles directly at the stage, and some even pulled out rifles and emptied a magazine into the air to vent their dissatisfaction.

Meanwhile, the two leaders of "Wind and Waves" in the main seats, A-Class Transcendent Finn and Tarian, watched this scene without the slightest intention of stopping it.

In their view, this was the wantonness and flamboyance that Interstellar Pirates should have.

"The guys in this batch aren't very good; the one with the most kills has less than 2,000 people, not even enough to feed my babies."

Finn picked up a charred skull wine glass and took a satisfied sip.

"There's no help for it; the stubborn guys are getting fewer and fewer. Now, most of those merchant fleets would rather pay a large amount of protection money to get a pass from the Four Great Pirate Groups."

The other leader, Tarian, shook his head and said.

"Yeah... I've even thought about going to the Brave's Channel. It's safer here, but the big money is all taken by those big shots."

"The Brave's Channel... it's too chaotic... with our strength, we're still a bit lacking."

"That's true... sigh, forget it, let's not think about it so much. When this is over, shall we go to Sea Tree Island to have some fun? I heard a batch of high-quality ones just arrived there..."

The two looked at each other and revealed knowing smiles.

And just as everyone in "Wind and Waves" was immersed in the joyful atmosphere.

No one noticed that the spatial defense system outside the planet quietly opened a passage, and hundreds of fully armed combat robots filed in.

Utilizing the shielding force field, they approached the clouds above the base. Muzzles flowing with blue light extended from their chests.

"Target locked..."

"Super-clustered laser cannon charging in preparation..."

"3... 2... 1..."

"Fire!"
