Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

The giant sword star track, the imperial fleet, the flagship, and the bridge.

"The other party responded? Where are they hiding?"

The report from the tech priest made Ralph look disappointed.

He thought there was a battle to be fought, but he didn't expect it to end before it even started.

"According to the signal location, the opponent is in a large crack near the North Pole."

big crack?
The holographic screen flickered on the window, and a map of the planet appeared.

On the surface of the planet, a long winding dragon lies on the ground.

That is not a long dragon, but a huge crack.

Looking at the huge crack that spanned thousands of kilometers in the picture, Ralph smiled.

"They really know how to hide. It's really hard for people to find such a place."

"Colonel Ralph, the other party has responded, how should we reply."

How to reply?

After thinking for a while, Ralph said: "Let their leader board the ship, just say that our chief wants to see him, wait, don't have an offline meeting, just go online, tell them, we will be offline in three hours Talk online, no, offline, let them board the ship."

If you meet offline, you can't hide your human identity.

But after thinking about it, Ralph felt that there was no need to hide his identity.

Although I don't know what the "king" is going to do with the pirates.

But there will definitely be no less contact with pirates in the future, and the identity of human beings cannot be hidden.

Report to the "king" in a while.

If "Wang" doesn't want to have an offline meeting, it's not too late to switch to an online meeting.

Standing up, Ralph hurriedly walked out of the bridge.

"Well, you are right. Some things must be discussed face-to-face. Online talks are easy to fall into the trap. It is not an easy task to control a race. It is necessary to prevent the other party from dying together."

Although Li Meng didn't think that the Sayaha Pirates had the strength to die together.

But if the news of them being human spreads out, this is still quite troublesome.

"Go ahead and arrange it. I'll meet them in person."

Nodding his head, Ralph got up and stood up,

He saluted the "king" with a sky eagle salute, then turned around and walked out.

"King, why do you have to be from the Taruru tribe?"

It's just an alien race on the verge of extinction, and Sera can't understand why the "king" cares so much about the Sayaha Pirates.

Smiling, Li Meng sat down beside Sera.

Turning over and resting on Sera's lap, Li Meng said: "The Sayaha Pirates are not a simple pirate group. Controlling them doesn't require force and is easier to control. They care about their own race, and this is just their weakness. , I want to control the pirate group because I want to use their identity to do something that cannot be done with a human identity."

"Is that so..."

Sera smiled slightly and said: "King, I understand that the Sayaha pirate group is indeed very suitable to be the tool of the "King", and it is their honor."

Half an hour later, the abyss.

The engine roared, the air waves rolled, and an armed merchant ship about a kilometer long sailed out of the abyss and went straight into the sky.

The blue tail flames from the main engine at the rear raised a large cloud of dust.

Soon, the armed merchant ship disappeared into the sky,

An hour later, in the orbit of the giant sword star, the armed merchant ship slowly entered the fleet.

Looking at the stationary dark giant ship outside, the atmosphere on the bridge was very depressing.

They have never seen a battleship outside.

As pirates, they know all the warship models of the major civilizations in the Starfield of Darkness.

They also know what kind of people should be provoked and what kind of people should not be provoked.

This is their means of survival.

"Leader, let the brothers get ready for battle. As a last resort, we can only fight."

Standing in front of the window, Sayaha turned and looked at his companions.

The expression on his face was only solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't be impulsive, the other party asked to talk to us, explaining that there is room for maneuver, and blindly seeking to fight will only bring disaster to the Taruru tribe. These years, we What is the purpose of living carefully, each of you understands very well in your heart, now, don't do anything, wait, wait for me to come back."

After the words fell, Sayaha turned around and walked out of the bridge.

More than ten minutes later, a humanoid mech flew out of the hangar of the armed merchant ship and flew in the direction of the empire's flagship.

With Sayaha boarding the ship, Li Meng met Sayaha in the conference room.

What race is this?
Looking at Li Meng in a golden robe on the conference table, Sayaha, who was brought into the conference room by the navy soldiers, thought to himself.

Although they look very similar to them, they look more like the Apocalypse clan.

But they were not Apocalypse, Sayaha was able to confirm that.

"Please sit down!"

Pointing to the seat beside him, Li Meng invited Sayaha.

At the conference table, Sayaha took a seat.

"Your Mightiness……"

As soon as he sat down, Sayaha made a sound and was about to ask something.

But it was interrupted by Li Meng waving his hand, and Li Meng went straight to the point.

"Commander Sayaha, this time I am here for only one purpose. Therefore, Commander Sayaha doesn't need to ask any more questions, just answer yes or no. Your choice is closely related to the life and death of the Taruru tribe."

Hearing this, Sayaha's heart sank slightly.

It seems that the other party is not kind, this is not a meeting, but an announcement.

"I need the Sayaha Pirates to do things for me. However, to do things for me, the Sayaha Pirates can't be as careful as they are now. You will become a real pirate group and do what the pirate group should do. Of course, I will not let you do things for me in vain, the environment of Jujian Star is harsh and not suitable for survival, I will find a new home for you, a livable planet with a suitable environment, and give the Taruru tribe shelter."

He wants the Sayaha Pirates?
Li Meng's words caused a trace of doubt to flash in Seyaha's eyes.

It is common sense that many pirate groups have the shadows of the major interstellar families in the Dark Star Field behind them.

With the support of the big interstellar family, the life of the pirate group will of course be much easier.

But again, working for those big interstellar families, the battle is never ending.

Because once you become a thug of the big interstellar family, you will join the most dangerous power struggle in the dark star field.

This is also one of the reasons why the Sayaha Pirates have always been careful not to contact those big star families.

"Can I say no?"

Sayaha looked up at Li Meng and asked.

With a slight smile, Li Meng said: "Of course we can, but you can't leave. We can't be exposed to the eyes of the major interstellar civilizations in the Dark Star Region. Any uncertain factors must be eradicated. You, your pirate group, and the Taruru tribe, They will all be wiped out.”

This is a naked threat, an undisguised threat.

Sayaha was silent, and the person in front of him didn't give him a choice at all.

Either live or die.

Given the choice of life, who would choose death?

"Aren't you afraid that if I promise now, I will do something that is not good for your race behind the scenes?"

With a slight smile, Li Meng said: "It's okay, it's your freedom to do what you want, so choose."

Does he still have a choice?

Of course he didn't, he had to compromise.

At least at this moment, he must compromise.
