Tempest of the Stellar War Chapter 791

Chapter 790 - Xiaolu Was Captured

Translator: Abyssruler  Editor: Lucas

At this moment, every pirate was struggling for their lives like little children. They weren’t weak but they were in Aisbotan, the territory of the ice beast. Moreover, this was under the circumstances where the ice beasts had an advantage in numbers.

One after another mech was ripped apart and the pilot was thrown out. The ice beasts hated those with impure souls. The violence on these pirates had stimulated their beasts’ instincts. One could easily imagine the outcome.

Bartley was surrounded by five ice beasts. He was an Earth Grade master after all and was truly formidable. Surprisingly, he was still able to hold his ground.

Wang Zheng was waiting all along and didn’t make his move. He had originally thought that he could give his all against Bartley with the help of the ice beasts. However it would seem that Bartley was just baiting him to attack.

The outcome from belittling an Earth Grade master would definitely not be very good.

However at this moment, Bartley’s beam saber swung fiercely. He activated his Ability X explosively and blew all the ice beasts away forcefully. The engine of his mech roared suddenly and he flew out like a rocket in an instant.

A modified mech…

Wang Zheng was also stunned for a while. He would have never dreamt that the infamous leader of the Blood Thirst column and an Earth Grade master would actually run away…

This d*mn brat seemed to have seen a ghost.

Wang Zheng and the ice beasts immediately gave chase but realised it was too late. If it was just a one-on-one, Bartley might have gave it a try. However with so many ice beasts staring at him covetously, Bartley would only do it if his brain had a problem.

After being a pirate for so long, even an Earth Grade master understood a principle and that was living on was the most important thing.

This was the decay of one person after being a pirate for so long. All those fame and awe and other related things were just illusory.

However Bartley was feeling bottled up with anger. His modification could only be used once and was specifically for escaping in the crucial moment. This was still the first time that he used it.

“Karen, are you dead?!” Bartley roared.

“Captain, what’s your order?” Karen voice transmitted over. Karen was also in shock. The truth was the voice in the public channel almost spoilt their big plans. Luckily he had switched it off in time. However, it seemed like things weren’t going very well at Bartley’s side.

“How’s the progress at your side?”

“Everything was going smoothly. Congratulation captain, we have caught a big fish. The missy of the Ai Financial Group.”

“Haha, great, great. Keep a close look on her for me. I will hold you responsible if she loses even a strand of hair. Follow the plan and attack Ice Spear City with the full force!”

“Captain, is everything… alright at your side?”

“I had some small sh*t to attend to and will be back in a while.”

Bartley replied angrily. D*mn it. His guards were not only his most trusted subordinates. They were also specifically trained masters over the past few years. In the end, they were killed by a group of d*mn beasts. It was truly infuriating.

But Bartley had to leave. If he didn’t, he would have died in that place too.

However, Bartley could feel his body burning at the thought of the missy of the Ai Financial Group. If she was just pretty, it wouldn’t be interesting. The key was her identity and position. This would make it even more exciting. Someone of the higher status like the missy of the Ai Financial Group would be in a completely different world from the pirates. Now he would want to bring himself and her into one world. At the thought of this, he could feel his heart burning and he felt a lot less angry.

At the other side, Ai Xiaolu was also extremely unlucky. The team she led encountered the advancing pirates head-on and was discovered by the scouts. After destroying over 20 mecha, she was still captured in the end.

Facing the net of fire by the large army, there wasn’t any place to run to. Their energy shield was also destroyed in seconds. If it wasn’t because the pirates wanted to capture them alive, they wouldn’t be able to kill any enemies.

Karen looked at the teenagers in front of him and revealed a smile. “Keep a close look on all of them. When the captain returns in a while, he will naturally reward you all according to your contributions.”

“Chief of Staff, this girl is pretty hot.”

Karen took a glance at the small fry and said,” You better watch yourself properly and contain yourself. You should know about the temper of the column captain.

The pirate suddenly felt a cold chill down his spine. “I was only joking. Haha.”

“Give all of them a PPD injection just in case they cause any trouble.”

“Rest assured!”

PPD was a type of tranquilliser specifically used against Ability X users. These few students in front of them were all from the Elite Academy and they couldn’t let their guard down.

The armoured car followed behind the mecha. Ai Xiaolu struggled with all her might but the needle head was still injected into her. Soon she felt weakness around her body. Her struggles also became without any strength.

The others had all been injected with PPD. Instantly, their eyes revealed their despair. At this moment, they could really feel death at their door.

The main army of the pirates was still advancing. When they were in school, they all believed they were elites. Disregarding them claiming that pirates were just a motley crowd, they wouldn’t even care about the Special Forces. However, this was an entirely different thing from practical battle. Ai Xiaolu and the rest were indeed following the textbook in their training and were careful. However they had forgotten that when they discovered the pirates, the pirates had already discovered them. Pirates were a large army and had complete sets of equipment with them which gave them an advantage in vision. They had purposely baited Ai Xiaolu and the rest and had their firepower aimed at them long before.

The student soldiers were lacking too much in terms of practical battle. The pirates weren’t just models in textbooks. Moreover, the Blood Thirst Column had undergone hundreds of battles. Karen as the Chief of Staff was not only an above average person but also someone who was known by many.

Without the torment from Bartley, Karen didn’t hold back at all when commanding and didn’t intend to give her targets any chances.

The whole army was moving towards Ice Spear City at maximum speed. Karen didn’t mind those few student soldiers. War wasn’t a single person game but would require coordination of the team and good command. These silly kids were too naïve to think about employing guerrilla techniques. She was only afraid of the Hail Cloud Alliance’s army.

They had been dragged behind for a long time. If it was up to her command, she would have left after razing Tank City. However, he couldn’t disobey the orders of Bartley and could only leave after raiding Ice Spear City with the fastest speed. However, capturing Ai Xiaolu was a surprising reward. This was an extremely fat hostage and could be sold for a very high price.

Ai Xiaolu was thinking quickly as she heard a few pirates talking casually and saw them scrutinizing her with those lewd and disgusting gazes.

“So this is the successor of the Ai Financial Group?”

“Chief of Staff had said so and it should be right.”

“D*mn, what a great chance we have now. If we didn’t get to play with her for a while, we would be letting down this glorious occupation.”

“This doesn’t seem great. If we were caught by the commanding officer, our heads would roll.” The other pirates were also a little hesitant as they knew about Bartley’s fetish. He didn’t care about money but only cared about women. It was especially so for women that he had his eyes on.

“Chey, no one would know about it other than the gods. Moreover, we are only touching her and fooling around with her a little. Everyone would have his share. Don’t you want to desecrate our dear princess of the Ai Financial Group?”

“That’s right!”

Ai Xiaolu’s face had turned pale. She might as well just die. However at this moment, no matter how she screamed or shouted, no one would respond.

However it was during such moments that she couldn’t show weakness. She pretended to smile nonchalantly. “You guys better think clearly about it. If you dare to touch me, I will describe it to your leader later. How do you think he would deal with you guys?”

The few pirates were indeed stunned and had stopped.

“Hehe, brat. You are just trying to scare us. Why would our boss believe you?”

Ai Xiaolu revealed a disdain look. “You really are an idiot. There’s no wonder you can only be a small fry. I’m the successor of the Ai Financial Group. The benefits you could obtain from me would be enough for you guys to last a few years. Do you all think that you would be more important than me? On the contrary, if I were to put in some words for you guys, you guys would have benefits too. You all are also just after money while I want to live on. There isn’t any conflict. However if you all were to cross the line, we would then die together!”

These pirates were suddenly enlightened and had cooled down after listening to Ai Xiaolu. The girl might be great but their lives were more important. At the thought of Bartley’s ruthlessness, everyone could feel a chill down their spine.

“Cough cough, Miss Ai, we were only joking. Please forgive us.”

After completing their sentence, they immediately distanced themselves from Ai Xiaolu. She was equivalent to trouble.

3 people from the small team that was led by Ai Xiaolu had died in battle while 7 were captured. The rest had thought that they would have to suffer a round of torture but unexpectedly, Ai Xiaolu was still able to keep calm.

Being captured was a huge blow for these students.

They had not experienced war and would never understand what war was about. Everything on the textbook was just a movie.

Ai Xiaolu wasn’t relaxing at all. The DK Pirate Crew was infamous. Moreover, Blood Thirst Column was known for being absolutely unrestrained. She had long heard that Cronode had contact with this group of pirates and was making use of pirates to attack their competitors. The Ai Family had really miscalculated this time. The most crucial thing was that she was brainlessly sent here. With her as the hostage, the chances of the pirates winning had greatly increased.

No matter how smart and capable Ai Xiaolu was, she was also at her wits end at this moment. She was also worried about her own safety. She might be able to scare those small fries previously but it would be different for the boss that they had spoke about.

There were many ways to deal with a girl that would be worse than death.

Looking at the looks of others, Ai Xiaolu still had to pretend to be confident.

Shien Cronode and Redington did not leave the area of the Ice Spear City at all. That was a joke. Going out would be equivalent to seeking their own death. With the city as their backing, they should be better off. Although the Cronode Family had some relations with the pirates, the pirates wouldn’t recognise him once the battle started.

DK Pirate Crew wasn’t being honest and didn’t follow the plan. However, plans would never be on pace with the changes. Shien had thought of another solution.

Therefore he had contacted Karen. This was in preparation for any what ifs. If he wasn’t at his wits end, Shien wouldn’t want to do this too.

Ai Xiaolu and the rest were easily surrounded and were even caught unprepared. This wasn’t only because of the superior vision the pirates had that Ai Xiaolu and the rest had thought. It was also because Shien had revealed her coordinates to the pirates in advance.

This was something that Ai Xiaolu had not expected. Shien was more unscrupulous than her.

However Snow Li was not exposed. This was due to Shien’s vested interests. If Snow Li was to fall into the hands of the pirates, that would be a pity. This top-notch beauty was better off left for himself.

Since the pirates wanted to raid the Ice Spear City, there was no place to run to. He might as well draft a new plan.

However once this plan was to be executed, he would have to betray everyone else. Redington had to be kept behind. After all, he still had to hide it from the rest. Redington was also a talent and had some value.

Karen had smiled. It was obvious that she would accept the plan. Karen wasn’t Bartley. A pirate wouldn’t be able to survive alone. If it wasn’t because of the internal conflicts of the Milky Way Alliance, they would have no space to survive. If the other party was willing to cooperate and she could possibly reduce her losses while maximising the gains from the battle, she would gladly accept it.
