Almost immediately, Admiral Mike gave the order, countless imperceptible lines shot silently from the Taoyuan Star fleet, accurately striking their targets. Immediately afterwards, a dazzling burst of fire erupted in the starry sky, and the pirates' starships exploded one after another like ignited fireworks, creating a spectacular scene.

The pirates were completely stunned. They hadn't even had a chance to show up when they were caught off guard. The other party's unconventional tactics were beyond their comprehension and even made them question their lives.

"This...what is going on?" The pirate leader's voice changed. He widened his eyes and looked at the light spots that kept disappearing on the star map, his face full of disbelief.

"Long-range particle beam cannon? How can they have so many?" The staff officer's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously frightened by this sudden attack.

"How can we fight this battle? We haven't even seen the enemy and we're about to be wiped out!" A pirate shouted in horror, his voice echoing in the bridge command room with a hint of despair.

"Can you please show some minimum respect to the attacker?" Another pirate said with a sad face, his tone full of helplessness and frustration.

"Besides, when did long-range particle beam cannons become available wholesale like fireworks? Aren't those things quite expensive?"

"Fifty million Star Coins per round! Even a superpower like the Star-Moon Empire wouldn't use this thing as a conventional weapon!"

"What is this now? If you want to fight, then fight. Is there anyone who is so wasteful?"

"It must be because Ling Yuan has been making too much money recently and accidentally became the richest man in the galaxy, so he is squandering money like this."

"Is it so great to have the richest man in the universe? He has so much money that he spends it helping those people in the slums. Why would he throw money at us pirates?!" A pirate was still shouting, his tone sour, as if it was not the starship that was shattered by the particle beam cannon, but his pitiful self-esteem.

Upon hearing this, his accomplice beside him glanced at him strangely, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally wisely chose to keep silent.

He wanted to ask the other party to listen to what he was saying, but then he thought better of it. They were all going to die, and these details didn't seem that important.

The pirate leader's face flickered like a palette, red, white, and vibrant. He was practically going crazy. He'd thought it was easy prey, but who could have imagined that when he bit into it, it would be his own teeth that would break! The enemy's artillery fire had already poured down before the secret weapon bestowed by the Lord could even be unveiled. This battle was so frustrating that he felt like vomiting blood.

"Sir..." The pirate leader turned around with tears in his eyes, looking at the black-robed man who had remained silent. His tone lost its previous flattery and was now filled with a hint of genuine panic. Now, the only person he could rely on was this unfathomable sir.

The black-robed figure remained statue-like in the shadows, a veil of impenetrable ice shrouding him, oblivious to the clamor surrounding him. The dim light within the bridge command room only made him appear even more formidable, like a messenger from hell. Silence, a deathly stillness so oppressive it threatened to make one's heart stop.

Finally, after a long silence, the black-robed figure slowly raised his head, revealing a pale, almost transparent chin in the shadow beneath his hood. He opened his lips, his voice low and hoarse, as if emanating from the depths of the abyss, carrying a chilling chill that shuddered the soul: "You useless piece of shit! You're panicking over such a small situation? It's time for 'those' to show up."

The pirate leader's already devastated mood was instantly ignited by these words, like a long drought finally ending in rain, a life-saving breath! He suddenly raised his head, and his face, which had been covered with gloom, was once again filled with a fanatical light, as if a drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Your Excellency is wise!" His voice trembled with excitement. "Officer!" He turned around suddenly and slapped the back of the officer next to him.

The staff officer was caught off guard and staggered, nearly falling to the ground. Already unsettled by the unfavorable situation, he was now even more terrified. "Captain, you..."

"What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear what the adults said?" The pirate leader no longer had any of his previous dejection. He was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Right now, let 'those' things come out and stretch their legs!"

The staff officer clutched his sore back, uncomplaining. He glanced tremblingly at the black-robed figure and the countless pairs of crimson eyes gleaming in the darkness behind him. Those eyes, like those of hungry beasts, were filled with a thirst for blood. Just one glance sent chills down one's spine.

He couldn't help but shudder and quickly responded, "Yes! I'll do it right away!" After that, he hurriedly left the bridge command room as if he was running for his life.
