Chapter 395: Chapter 395: The Count’s Match

Translator: 549690339

The moment the Black Pearl appeared, Ya Xuan felt a sense of dread.

He had heard all about this pirate ship, which had been causing trouble in the stars for years. The Empire’s military had racked their brains trying to capture the Black Pearl.

But it seemed like this ship had been captured a while ago, right? The Empire’s media had even reported on it, so how could it be here now?

If it really was those pirates, the fleet he brought today, over twenty spaceships, would probably be finished here.

With a glimmer of hope, Ya Xuan tried to communicate with the Black Pearl through the console.

Soon, the communication was connected.

Seeing Ronnie’s effeminate face, Ya Xuan instantly felt like everything had gone wrong. It really was the pirates!

“You…you guys escaped from prison?” Ya Xuan asked tentatively.

Ronnie showed a strange smile, “Baron Ya Xuan, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you really think I, a noble knight, would be locked up in prison?”

“What? You’re a knight?”

Ya Xuan looked at the group of pirates, who had been on countless wanted lists. Each of them had a golden dragon embroidered on them, which should be the emblem of some noble family. However, he had never seen this emblem before.

Ya Xuan, who considered himself knowledgeable and well-traveled, did not believe Ronnie’s words at all. These pirates usually liked to toy with their victims before robbing them. How could they become knights? To become a knight, one must be taken in by high-ranking nobles, and he doubted that any noble in the Empire would be foolish enough to do so.

“You don’t need to worry about that. But my master is very unhappy with what you have done, as you know, as knights, our master’s will is the highest command for us, so I’ve decided to teach you and your army, who have wasted the Empire’s resources, a harsh lesson.”

The numerous cannons on the Black Pearl all opened up in layers, preparing to fire the energy cannons.

“Wait!”

Ya Xuan’s forehead sweat dropped, “You can’t do this. I am a noble of the Empire, and attacking me is illegal.”

“Ha ha ha! Listen to what he’s saying! He is actually talking about legality with me, Ronnie. Doesn’t he know who I am?” Ronnie laughed loudly and spoke to the pirates next to him. They all laughed arrogantly and pointed at Ya Xuan as if he were an idiot.

A squad leader next to Ya Xuan said, “Sir, talking about the law with these pirates is like playing the lute to a cow. They only care about wealth and profit.”

Ya Xuan suddenly realized, and hurriedly said, “You gain nothing from attacking me. I know you escaped from prison, but don’t worry, I won’t report you as long as you let me go.”

“Do you really mean what you just said?” Ronnie’s smile became even more bizarre.

“I swear, I will never report you,” Ya Xuan thought. Anyway, he was just trying to buy time until Countess Diana’s Sky City arrived. For now, all he needed to do was stall the fight.

He even poured oil on the fire, continuing, “That aircraft you just captured was from a native on Earth. That guy must be quite rich. His assets should be worth a few hundred million Tianhe coins after being liquidated. Moreover, he has two very beautiful girlfriends who can be sold for a good price in the slave market. This trip wasn’t a waste for you.”

Ronnie looked at him, “Are you talking about a man named Lin Zhen?”

“Yes, yes, exactly. His name is Lin Zhen.”

“Then come to the Dimensional Universe, and I’ll have you confirm it.”

Ronnie gave him the Dimensional Universe code, and Ya Xuan followed him in. They met face-to-face in the Dimensional Universe, where Ronnie showed him a picture.

“Look, is this the man you want me to sell in the slave market?”

“That’s right, it’s Lin Zhen. You can do whatever you want with his girlfriends.”

“So, your pursuit just now was to capture Lin Zhen’s girlfriends and family?”

“Yes, we wanted to capture his parents and girlfriends.”

“Alright, Baron Ya Xuan, I have recorded everything you just said. You intended to attack an Empire Count and coincidentally, this count is my master. So as a knight of my master, I can retaliate against you and your fleet. Prepare to die now.”

“Who is it? Who is your master?”

Ronnie glanced at him, “Lin Zhen.”

After saying that, Ronnie exited the Dimensional Universe, and Ya Xuan, somewhat dazed, also exited.

Lin Zhen’s face had already appeared on the screen, giving a cold order.

“Baron Ya Xuan, you have intended to attack a count of the Empire and tried to sell this count and his girlfriends as slaves. As my knights, it’s time for you to protect your master. Blast these bandits to pieces!”

“Fire!”

Instantly, the Black Pearl unleashed a barrage of gunfire, and Ya Xuan’s fleet was in big trouble.

The vast technological gap resulted in catastrophic consequences. Within a minute, just one minute, only Ya Xuan’s lone flagship remained, and the other twenty spaceships had all been blasted to bits by the Black Pearl.

Ya Xuan’s flagship performed well, dodging desperately in the air until its protective shield was shattered, forcing Ya Xuan to abandon the ship and flee.

As a Baron and fleet commander of the Empire, Ya Xuan’s realm had reached Planet Eighth-level. If he escaped, it would be tough for Lin Zhen and his group to stop him.

In his eyes, only Ronnie could be considered an expert among the pirates, also at Planet Eighth-level. He believed that even if he couldn’t beat them, he could still outrun them.

“Lin Zhen, don’t even think about harming me! The people I am hunting are natives of this planet. Even if you become a count, your family still has no status. I haven’t broken the law! When Countess Diana arrives, I will settle the score with you!”

In just a short time, he had already confirmed Lin Zhen’s identity.

Although Lin Zhen was a Count and had the right to issue chips, obtaining chips needed Points, and Lin Zhen had just gained the status of Count, so he probably didn’t have time to get chips yet.

As long as he can escape now, he’ll be fine.

On the North American Continent, Countess Diana’s flying ship is rushing over.

She brought with her all the elites of this expedition, with as many as a hundred Planet Stage masters, while Diana herself is a super-level master at Constant Star Level 1.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Ya Xuan is in danger if we’re even a moment late. I didn’t expect a Count of the Empire to emerge on Earth, things have become a bit more complicated.”

“Count, don’t worry. Ya Xuan is very strong and won’t be captured easily. We’ll reach Australia in just two minutes!”

Ya Xuan broke out of the destroyed flagship and swiftly headed in the direction of North America.

Sky City was in North America, and he had already informed Countess Diana. As long as he could hold out until the reinforcements arrived, he would have a chance to survive.

He had just escaped when he saw Ronnie appear from the north to intercept him.

He immediately turned and ran east. It would be fine if he made it to South America, which also had Imperial forces.

However, Shac, with a pair of Devil horns on his head, stood in his way, grinning at him.

“Damn, I forgot the Black Pearl had two deputy captains.”

With no other choice, Ronnie turned and ran eastward back to the Asian Continent, where his forces were still assembled.

However, Stephen, a Planet Ninth-level Spiritual Mind Master, suddenly appeared in front of him, smirking at Ya Xuan: “Baron Ya Xuan, where do you plan to go now?”

Unexpecting such a high-level opponent, Ya Xuan’s face showed panic. Biting his teeth, he decided to head south instead. As long as he crossed the Antarctic continent, he could circle around to the other hemisphere.

But as soon as he flew south, he saw an angel with six wings hovering in the air behind him.

The angel’s body was burning with holy flames, and a dazzling golden sword was in his hand. His cold gaze sent a chill through Ya Xuan’s bones.

“A Constant Star Level! There’s actually a Constant Star Stage master here! Oh god! Linzhen has just been promoted to Count, how could he have such a powerful slave!”

“Slash!”

With a flap of Archangel Jason’s wings, he appeared in front of Ya Xuan with near-instantaneous speed, and forcefully slashed down with his sword!

Once the sword was drawn, the Holy Flame Domain appeared!

“It’s actually a Constant Star who has mastered the domain! I’m done for!”

Only those who comprehend the domain are considered true geniuses. This Angel Clan master had a stable domain, demonstrating his long experience, and Ya Xuan was no match for him.

With his eyes closed, Ya Xuan felt a sense of resignation.

Jason’s hand shifted into a chop, striking the back of Ya Xuan’s neck and knocking him unconscious.

“Master, I’ve captured him.”

Lin Zhen flew over, removed Ya Xuan’s mental defense artifact, and then used Soul Lock to control his soul.

Ya Xuan was not a Spiritual Mind Master, he had only practiced mental combat techniques. Without the protection of his artifact in his unconscious state, he quickly succumbed to Lin Zhen’s successful Soul Lock.

By the time he opened his eyes, he had become Lin Zhen’s mental slave.

Just as all this was completed, a flying ship was quickly approaching from afar.

Aboard the ship, the white Snow Lotus emblem signified the identity of a high-ranking noble.

Countess Diana had arrived!

“Hehe, the rightful invaders of Earth have arrived. Let’s see the prestige of this female Count.”

Lin Zhen led his men onto the Black Pearl and proactively activated the communication system to connect with the incoming ship.

With a flicker, Diana appeared on the screen.

A black robe with purple patterns, her face as cold as ice, Countess Diana’s first question was aimed at Lin Zhen.

“Lin Zhen! In order to save a few inhabitants of native planets, you actually attacked the Empire’s soldiers! Do you really think that just because they are your family, they can be placed above the interests of the Empire?”

Diana was very clever. She didn’t focus on Lin Zhen’s status, since he was also an Empire Count with equal standing. To gain the upper hand, she needed to grasp logic.

Lin Zhen was a Count, but his family did not hold the same status, which was his weak point.

As the captured Ya Xuan was about to say something, Diana stopped him.

“Baron Ya Xuan, you don’t need to speak. Today’s conversation is between Lin Zhen and me. Lin Zhen, if you can’t provide me with a reasonable explanation, I’ll take today’s matter to the Imperial Noble Court through the Dimensional Universe and have your noble status stripped!”
