Chapter 17

The sound of the alarm tightened the hearts of the dignitaries fleeing Planet Edith.

Come on, leave the harbor, come on!

The far-flung merchant ships docked at the Star Harbor left the harbor in droves.

Some of the far-flung merchant ships that had stayed in the universe around the Starport also began to withdraw.

The tail engine spewed out a dazzling tail flame.

Just as the merchant ships were evacuating, on the other side of the atmosphere.

An orc rocket ship broke through the atmosphere.

It came straight at Starport from all directions.

Even when they entered the vacuum, the orcs hanging outside the rocket ship did not die.

As a half-plant creature, orcs have great vitality.

Even being in a vacuum can survive for a while.

The rocket ship trailing a long tail flame was like a missile blasting into the Starport.

Some of the rocket ships were knocked apart.

And there were rocket ships that seemed like a sharp knife thrust into the Starport.

Waaagh!

In various corridors inside the Starport.

A large number of green-skinned orcs roared out of the battered rocket ship.

It's an orc. It's a green-skinned orc. Run!

The humans in the Starport Station fled in fear.

Most of the humans in the Starport were dignitaries from the planet Edith.

The entire Starport was guarded by less than two thousand troops.

Orc Boy and Fart Goblin roared and swept across the Starport.

For a moment, the Starport resounded with the intense sound of gunfire.

But the gunfire lasted very briefly.

Shots rang out in one place but disappeared in a moment.

As more and more rocket ships crashed into the Starport.

Starport turned into a hedgehog.

Rocket ships of all sizes seemed like spikes stuck in the surface of the Starport.

And in the void in the distance was a sea of imperial merchant ships, large and small.

More than a dozen far-flung merchant ships with the ability to navigate through subspace are sailing into the depths of the universe.

Planet Edith is finished!

In the bridge of one of the merchant ships that looked like a church.

A captain in a captain's uniform stood at the window looking at the planet Edith on the screen.

In less than half a year, a wave of green-skinned beasts swept across Edith's entire planet.

And imperial support is a long way off.

Captain, a man calling himself the planetary Governor, has asked for preferential treatment!

The report from the crew behind him caused the captain to frown slightly.

Capture and lock up first, and wait until we get to the next world before handing it over to the Empire, or we'll be the ones who get in trouble.

Is!

The appearance of the uninvited guest made the captain's face hard.

Just now, I was walking too fast.

Those who asked to come aboard were admitted with a brainstorm.

After all, those who come aboard are rich.

Through them, they were able to earn a lot of Skyhawk coins.

But I didn't realize those people would have the planetary Governor of the planet, Edith.

Now that the planet Edith has fallen, the planetary Governor carries no small amount of guilt.

Although the Sky Eagle Coin was a good thing, one's own life was the most important thing.

Captain, massive subspace fluctuations have been detected!

What? Someone else is coming to Edith at this hour?

Meanwhile, in outer space on the planet Edith.

A purplish-red halo suddenly sprang up.

It was as if several fuchsia swirls had appeared in the dark universe.

A battleship flew out of the fuchsia vortex.

It's the Imperial Navy. The Imperial Navy is here!

The appearance of the fleet caused a burst of cheers to erupt from the fleeing fleet of civilian ships.

Though the fleet was small, it was just a vanguard scouting fleet.

But the arrival of the scout fleet indicates that the Imperial Navy has set its sights on the planet Edith.

In the darkness of the universe, the fleet sailed towards the planet Edith.

The fleet was small, consisting of four battleships.

Two Cobra-class destroyers, approximately 1.5 kilometers long and 0.3 kilometers wide.

Cobra destroyer

A Sword-class escort ship, approximately 1.6 kilometers long and 0.3 kilometers wide.

Sword-class frigate

A Dreadnought-class light cruiser, about 4 kilometers long and 0.5 kilometers wide.

Dauntless class light cruiser

From afar, the large and small battleships looked like a church flying in the void.

Each battleship has an eye-catching battering ram design.

At this time, it is one of the largest light cruisers.

My Lord, radio communication received from the Starport!

In front of the bridge's viewport stood a figure dressed in a gorgeous admiral's uniform.

He wore a large-brimmed hat and had a hard, slightly weathered face.

He turned his head and nodded to the bridge crew in charge of communications.

Mayday, Mayday, this is Star Harbor Towers. They're rushing in. Ah!

Screams and orcish growls suddenly rang out over the bridge speakers.

Accompanied by the sound of chopping and bridge cannons.

Within a few moments, there was silence over the speakers.

This caused the bridge crew and a group of bridge officers to look at each other in disbelief.

My Lord, a message has been received from the civilian ships asking if the civilian fleet can be evacuated.

Let them go to Planet Victor to be vetted!

Yes, instructions have been transmitted to the civilian ships, and the registration information for each civilian ship has been recorded.

Lucan looked at the Starport in the planet's orbit with a stony face.

It was far away, but you could occasionally see fires erupting from the Starport.

Another world in the Empire is being ravaged by a wave of green-skinned beasts.

My Lord, the Starport has fallen, the orcs must be stopped from spreading to the surrounding worlds, and we must destroy the Starport and inform the Far East Starfield Fleet Command of the news here; the planet Edith is an important agricultural world; we cannot afford to lose it.

The colonel's adjutant behind him reminded Lt. Gen. Lucan.

At those words, Lucarn's expression shifted slightly.

There may be surviving Imperial subjects in the Starport.

But it was a necessary sacrifice in order to trap the orcs on the planet Edith.

Lucan raised his hand and grimaced.

All ships on your mark target the Starport. Fire freely and destroy it!

As Lucan gave the order, flashes of fire flashed through the fleet.

The torpedo tubes on the bow of each ship fired a single torpedo.

The torpedo rushed toward the Starport with a long trailing flame.

More than ten seconds later, torpedoes trailing long tail flames successively bombarded the Starport.

There were no explosions, only a huge cloud of exploding fire.

The sheer force of the force ripped through the layers of the Starport's structure.

After a wave of torpedo attacks, the fleet changed formation.

Facing the Starport with the side port.

The booming cannons of each battleship, large and small, roared.

Dense shells struck the Starport.

The Starport was instantly turned into a sea of fire, with wreckage flying everywhere.

Boom!

A full five minutes of bombardment.

There was a martyrdom explosion in the fusion reactor inside the Starport.

The entire Starport suddenly disintegrated and exploded from within.

A huge ball of light erupted out of the orbit of the planet Edith.

Looking from the surface to the sky, there is an extra sun in the sky.

At this time, in the northern hemisphere on the surface of the planet Edith.

The base camp is located on a large hill.

Standing at the top of the hill, Jack looked out into the distant sky.

A second sun appeared in the sky in that very direction.

It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!

Jack grinned, full of excitement.

The arrival of the Imperial Navy fleet was expected by Jack.

Jack just didn't expect the Imperial Navy fleet to come by such a coincidence.

The orc boys had just captured the Starport, and the Imperial Navy fleet showed up on time.
