The Highest Bounty

Chapter 135 Damn It!

When nightfall came, Gu Ding and the rest had only settled down for less than twenty minutes when Neptune projected a video.

The video feedback showed a vast fleet of Army spaceships landing. Apart from a Golden Eagle, a total of thirty-two Army spaceships landed on the port. Nearly all of them were fully geared out.

Seeing so many Army spaceships appearing suddenly, many Interstellar Pirates started to panic. Some fled to their spaceships, attempting to fly away only to find the top part of the port closed. They then realized that the Army was going to have a big cleanout this time.

When the Army spaceship docked, over six thousand soldiers with ranks above senior colonel uniformly marched out of the spaceship.

None of them were Gene Bodies below Rank-6.

When they appeared in the port, they had not only caused panic amongst the Interstellar Pirates, they had also attracted a lot of locals who came to check out the commotion.

The six thousand soldiers immediately fell into a square formation positioned not far away from the Golden Eagle.

The Golden Eagle’s hatch finally opened. What stepped out of the hatch was not human, but thirty silver mechs that were each nearly four meters tall.

Even Gu Ding was stunned.

“Looks like they really went all out this time,” Neptune said in a disheartened tone.

The thirty mechs lined up in three rows just beneath the Golden Eagle.

At the Golden Eagle’s hatch, three people stood side by side-it was two men and one woman. Gu Ding was no stranger to the middle-aged man standing in the middle. He was the Federal Army’s general, Sharp.

On Sharp’s left was a tall red-haired woman. She was clad in military attire, making her look valiant and heroic. On the left side of her waist was an intricately detailed silver handgun. It was obvious she was a gunner.

On Sharp’s right was a man in his early twenties-he was of average height and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked slightly nervous, not knowing where to put his hands.

“Who are those two?” Gu Ding knew that anyone who stood next to Sharp was a serious threat and a force to be reckoned with.

“The red-haired woman is an Army general as well as Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation’s chief gunner. The other guy is a chief of staff who just got promoted this year-he’s a disciple of the head chief of staff. However, don’t underestimate him. He may be a civil servant, but he’s also a Rank-9 Gene Body with outstanding combat prowess,” Neptune read out their information.

The information of these two people made Gu Ding and the rest shudder slightly. Their abilities were extremely unique. They did not increase combat effectiveness directly, but they could already tell both abilities would play a major role in the upcoming battle.

“Walter probably set this up,” Neptune deduced. “They intentionally caused all this panic to capture all the Interstellar Pirates-only he would make a plan like this.”

“Based on the current situation, they’ll win by a landslide. They have two Federal generals, five colonel generals, eight lieutenant generals, fifteen major generals, plus those thirty mechs. Those mech pilots may only be a Rank-6 or Rank-7 Gene Body, but they’re all probably skilled at close combat-their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of a Peak Rank-8 martial arts practitioner.”

“The port’s skydome is closed, no spaceship can escape. However, this is not the biggest problem. After learning their lesson last time, the Army got smarter.” Neptune said and projected a new video. In the video, three Baby

Eagle were hovering outside the atmosphere above the port.

“It’s probably because we paralyzed the port system last time,” Gu Ding guessed the reasoning behind the Army’s move. “If that’s the case, even if we paralyze the port system again-if a spaceship escapes, it will be

Neptune popped out another page. This time a statement from the Federal Government. Its content went like so “There are a large number of Interstellar Pirates gathered on Great Divinity. The Federation Army is trying their best to evict them and so the port has been temporarily closed. If any ship wishes to enter, do visit the other planets nearby. The ports on the other planets will be providing free entry for the meantime. All civilian and transport vessels wanting to leave must wait at least three days before being discharged.”

“All civilian spaceships and transport vessels have been banned from entering and leaving for the time being. They’re worried that some Interstellar Pirates might hide in the ships and take the opportunity to escape.”

“Under such circumstances, it’s unlikely that we’ll be able to escape.” Liliath frowned slightly.

“There’s no hurry. It’s just the beginning, we’ll think of a way to escape.” Gu Ding seemed calm. “At least we got ourselves out before the battle broke out. Neptune erased all our electronic records. The Army should not be able to find us in such a short time. We’re hiding in the dark while they’re out in the open. This is our advantage.”

In the video, the port was in chaos. A large number of Interstellar Pirates fled into the city-they already knew they could not leave in their spaceships.

The Army’s thirty mechs sprung out to intercept. Mechs that were comparable to Rank-8 Gene Bodies’ peak combat effectiveness rushed into the crowd, causing people to cry out in distress.

On the other side, over six thousand Army members divided into over twenty teams and searched the spaceships on the port one by one to see if anyone was hiding in them.

“I’d like to see how long it’ll take you idiots to unlock this!” Neptune scolded impatiently when he saw that someone started to crack the spaceship’s combination lock. He had come up with the design for the lock while Robert crafted it. Based on the Federal Government’s current technology level, they would probably still fail even if they went at it the entire day.

“If they can’t unlock it, they’ll probably destroy the door.” Gu Ding felt that the Army probably did not have the patience to unlock it.

“If they dare destroy our door, I’ll encrypt all the Army’s spaceship’s door, so they can’t enter or leave!” Neptune said angrily.

As soon as Neptune finished talking, he saw someone take a bomb and attach it to the Grey-faced Buzzard’s hatch. The Army’s order was that if they could not unlock it in three minutes, they would resolve it with force; not wanting to waste time.

Neptune went berserk upon seeing this. “Damn it! You asked for it!”
