Tempest of the Stellar War

Chapter 797: Single-handedly

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Samo was truly capable. Truthfully speaking, once they had calmed down and if they were under relatively better conditions, the students of Elite Academy wouldn’t be classified as not being able to live up to their name. However, a student was still a student after all. When facing a major event, they would inevitably panic a little. Once Wang Zheng had returned, not only Snow Li but also the rest suddenly could feel the return of their confidence.

Snow Li was taking care of Cutie attentively. This was a young ice beast and had to be breastfed. However, it was truly a spiritual being. It could actually absorb the icy atmosphere of Aisbotan to grow. In addition, it would also consume ice when it was hungry. Even Snow Li who was from Hail Cloud Alliance was amazed by this.

Samo was finally able to contact the space fleet.

The commander of the fourth space fleet, Bente, had a headache. A group of pirates was nothing. Pirates on land were no different as chicken and they could slaughter them as they wanted. However, the problem was that there were also thousands of citizens and a few special characters that caused the whole incident to be worse. A group of people, who were anxious to see the world in disorder, had even cause this incident to become a huge drama. The entire Milky Way Alliance was watching. If it wasn’t handled well, it would become a global incident.

Pirates were already living on the edge of the knife in nature. If they pushed them into a corner, the efforts they had expended would have been in vain. However, it wasn’t alright to drag this longer. Opening up the space route and letting the pirates leave were out of question. The Special Forces were already waiting for instructions. It was just that this Blood Thirst Pirate Crew’s strength wasn’t weak. He had to achieve the biggest victory with the smallest price.

If it wasn’t handled well, his career as the commander of this fleet would also be at the end.

Most of the time, soldiers weren’t afraid of a tough battle. They were afraid of being in this type of dilemma.

“Reporting to Commander, someone has broken through the lockdown and is contacting us. He is a student from the Elite Academy. In addition, there is another piece of good news. The leader of the Blood Thirst column, Bartley, is dead!”

A colonel roared hurriedly.

Bente wasn’t feeling good previously. When he heard of the news, he was stunned for a moment. “What did you say? Bartley is dead?”

As part of the air force’s space fleet, Bente had obviously heard of Bartley’s name. This guy was truly infamous and was known to be sly and afraid of nothing. The war had not started and he was dead?

Bente could obviously calm himself down. “Transfer the call over immediately!”

Snow Li’s image appeared on the screen. Bente obviously knew aout this girl. Frankly speaking, he could be considered to be her senior and had graduated from the same school. However, Bente had graduated 30 years earlier. Bente had admired this girl that was born in the year of the Dancing Ice Dragon. This was because Bente’s family was one of the early immigrants. These immigrants had always advocated tradition and rules and wouldn’t just see Snow Li as a mascot.

“General, Snow Li from Elite Academy reporting.” Snow Li performed a standard military salute. This was the standard posture of the Hail Cloud Alliance.

“Snow Li, I know about you. When you graduated, I remembered that you were the representative of the graduating batch and had even given a speech. If I had remembered it correctly, the topic was on defending the pride of Hail Cloud Alliance with one’s life.”

“Yes General. You were right!” Snow Li was also a little surprised that General Bente would remember her.

Bente nodded his head. This was the composure of a general and he wouldn’t be panicking. “Tell me about your situation.”

Snow Li reported about the situation in the simplest and most direct way while Wang Zheng and the rest were standing at one side waiting. Originally, everyone wanted Wang Zheng to do the reporting. However, Wang Zheng had passed the responsibility to Snow Li. At this moment, it was clearly not a question about who would get the glory but about choosing a suitable person to communicate about the situation clearly. Without a doubt, Snow Li was the most suitable person.

The situation was worse than imagined. Bente’s expression became more and more stern. The entire Tank City had been slaughtered. That would also mean that the pirates didn’t leave them any other options. They were almost duped and thought that it was just a typical raid. If the entire city was slaughtered, that would make everyone boiled with anger. If he was to let any pirate escape, he would be sent to the military court. It had been over 10 years since such a big incident had occurred.

A commercial ship missing was already a common scene but pirates attacking a planet were rare.

It wasn’t the time to look for the mastermind now.

“Snow Li, the Special Forces of the military have started to descend from the sky. You all were familiar with the situation. Do you all have a way to reduce the casualties?” asked Bente. In fact, he was just asking casually. There were only a few students and equipment. Even if they had gone ahead, it would be equivalent to throwing them to the tigers.

“General, we are Ability X users. Therefore, we would like to enter the Ice Spear City and rescue the hostages.” said Snow Li.

Bente thought about it and replied,” You all may act as you all see fit but remember that safety comes first. The information you all have provided is sufficient. On the side note, is the leader of the pirates, Bartley, really dead?”

“Yes General. We have used the password in his Skylink to break through the lockdown.”

Bente’s face showed surprise. “Ask the technical personnel to get ready. If we can get hold of their secret key, we could allow the Special Forces to approach quietly.”

Samo immediately uploaded the documents to the space fleet quietly. Samo had not thought that he could participate in such a big incident. Moreover, he had shown his face in front of General Bente. As long as he did not die this time, he would definitely do well in the future.

Frankly speaking, he had not thought much of Wang Zheng previously. Being able to fight better didn’t mean anything as there were a lot of people who could fight and still end up with nothing in the end. Humans were no longer in the ancient civilization where the bigger fist would be equivalent to more power. One had to depend on his brain to survive. Now, he felt that Wang Zheng was really interesting. In fact, before they had met Wang Zheng, they were just like a group of outcasts and didn’t know what to do. All of a sudden, they had made a huge meritorious contribution. The incident with Bartley had nothing to do with them at all. However, Wang Zheng did not mention about it and it was clear that he wanted to share the rewards of this incident with everyone.

At this moment, Wang Zheng wasn’t thinking about such small matters at all. Killing an Earth Grade pirate might be a great opportunity to become famous for some people but Wang Zheng didn’t care about these. Ai Xiaolu and the rest were still captured inside the city, Wang Zheng was thinking of how to first rescue them.

The matter of the Cronode Family colluding with the pirates couldn’t be mentioned. It would be pointless if it was mentioned too as they did not have any evidence after all. Moreover in actuality, Ai Xiaolu’s existence was also an obstacle for the military when they conduct their assault. The pirates would definitely use her as hostage. If they could rescue Ai Xiaolu, the pressure on the military would be reduced by a lot. The pirates would probably also have to ponder their next move carefully.

Therefore this trip to the Ice Spear City had to be made so as to gain something by risking their lives further.

“Wang Zheng, you have to think of a way to rescue Ai Xiaolu.” Snow Li’s expression at this moment was very decisive. As long as she was following Wang Zheng, even if it meant death, she wouldn’t be afraid at all.

Wang Zheng nodded his head. Ai Xiaolu was definitely one of the few friends Wang Zheng had in Elite Academy. She must definitely be rescued. However, Wang Zheng wasn’t worried about himself dying. What he was pondering was maximising the impact of this battle.

When everyone saw the serious expression on Wang Zheng, they also knew that this mission would likely be fatal. However, Wang Zheng and Snow Li weren’t afraid of death and they weren’t afraid too.

Wang Zheng let out a sigh and everyone’s mood sunk. Was there really no solution at all?

Wang Zheng saw everyone’s expression and smiled. “It’s nothing actually. I was just feeling a little regretful that Bartley had broken into several pieces when he died. If he was still in one piece, I could at least take him to negotiate with the pirates. It is really a pity.”

Snow Li and the rest were finally able to relax slightly. Wang Zheng was likely to be the only person to be thinking about keeping an Earth Grade leader of the pirates in one piece when facing him.

“Wang Zheng, our numbers are too little after all. It would really be too difficult to breakthrough.” said Cai Yingmeng. His eyes were flickering. Frankly speaking, he didn’t want to die.

“That’s why we can’t use mecha. Let’s wait for night and we will sneak in.” said Wang Zheng.

Not using the mecha? Everyone was stunned. Were they going up against mecha with the human body?

However, after giving some thoughts about it, it would seem that this would be the only way to enter the city.

“Wang Zheng, would this be too risky?”

Everyone wasn’t confident at all. It was especially so as some of them only had supportive Ability X. Frankly speaking, everyone felt that Wang Zheng wasn’t from the same world as them. The guts of this guy were truly off the charts.

Wang Zheng nodded. “Let me go in and scout first. You all would stay here and keep in contact with the space fleet and inform me immediately if there was any situation.”

“I will go with you!” said Snow Li.

Wang Zheng smiled. “I will be fine alone. You will be needed here for leadership. Don’t worry about it.”

“Snow, let’s listen to Wang Zheng. His skills and strength is the best among us. Ice Spear City is full of dangers at this moment. With more people, we might become his burden.” said Samo.

In the Ice Spear City... the pirates weren’t on full alert or battle-ready. They were even enjoying themselves by eating and playing with no regards to anything.

Karen had a headache. Bartley had disappeared. This guy had most likely encountered a mishap. Without the management of Bartley, this group of pirates were not easy to handle. Although they were surrounded by the Hail Cloud Alliance, no one seemed to care. All the pirates believed that with them holding so many hostages and with some of these hostages being important characters, the Hail Cloud Alliance wouldn’t dare to attack them. In the worst case, they could just perish together.

However, Karen wasn’t thinking the same way.
