Chapter 3647 Too Late To Run
Scarbrow was pale as a sheet. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Boss, I'll lead these spaceships to bring up the rear and hold off Torii for a while. Quickly return to the temporary base, take our family, and escape immediately." Upon hearing that, the rest of the pirate leaders unanimously said to Toothless, "Indeed!"
"Boss, hurry back to the temporary base and gather everyone to escape."
"We are risking our lives to intercept the fleet of the Gods, buying you time to escape."
Toothless said with difficulty, "The Gods arrived too quickly and unexpectedly this time! We've let our guard down again. It's Torii in his Steel Wings this time around. We have over a hundred thousand people at our temporary base. We simply don't have enough time to evacuate. I think I might as well gather all my strength and have a showdown with Torii."
The leader of the space pirates, Scarbrow, and his crew wore extremely grave expressions. The arrival of the Gods' fleet is sudden. If there's no time to escape, then the only option is for everyone to fight and give it our best shot.
Their band of space pirates, despite having hundreds of old spaceships, boasted a staggering number of a hundred thousand members.
However, it was not necessarily a match for the Steel Wings.
Even if they were to give it their best shot, they could only employ the wolf pack strategy and take down one or two of the enemy's spaceships.
If Torii felt that the cost of eliminating the pirate group was too high, unwilling to endure such a pyrrhic victory, Torii would retreat.
The space pirates thought they had to take a gamble.
After the order from Toothless was issued, in the distance, the temporary base launched a large number of spaceships. All the spaceships assumed a defensive formation.
The space pirates were surprised when the formidable Steel Wings did not rush to launch an attack on them. Is it because Torii doesn't take this motley crew seriously, or is there another reason?
At that moment, on the flagship of Steel Wings, the general-in-chief of Gods Air Force, Torii was standing shoulder to shoulder with his beloved wife by the window of the spaceship, overlooking Kytlas from a high vantage point.
The vast blue sea below, along with the various rainbows formed by the water vapor under the scorching sun, was as beautiful as a fairyland.
Nikolette nestled against her husband, whispering, "It's so beautiful!"
She gazed at the beautiful scenery before her, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Nikolette couldn't help but recall the past. When she was fleeing with the vampires, they passed through Kytlas. She insisted on going there to admire the beautiful scenery which led to the death of her ex-husband and all her family members.
Involuntarily, a wave of melancholy swept over.
Torii, beside her, didn't have such excessive sentimentality.
Torii led the Steel Wings there, as he had a mission to undertake.
Not long ago, the latest spaceship developed by the Gods, named God's Punisher Spaceship,
encountered an accident during its
combat testing and eventually lost
contact.
The God King suspected the space pirates took advantage of the chaos to loot the wrecked God's Punisher Spaceship.
He was tasked with hunting down the pirates and recovering the God's Punisher Spaceship.
Therefore, he first set his sights on Toothless' pirate crew.
At that moment, without knowing the whereabouts of the God's Punisher Spaceship, he naturally wouldn't rush to initiate an attack. He called out calmly, "Duron!"
A figure appeared, not particularly tall, but extraordinarily robust, like a Gods elite as formidable as a tank.
He was Torii's adjutant, the crusher, Duron.
Duron said loudly, "I am here!"
Torii asked nonchalantly, "Have we already surrounded Toothless and his space pirates?"
Duron said in his deep and resonant voice, "They are all now within our attack range. They probably understand that if they try to escape, we will undoubtedly hunt them down relentlessly, eliminating them all. Hence, they didn't run, instead they took a defensive stance. It seems like they want to struggle, attempting to fight to the death."
Torii said indifferently, "To fight to the death? These pirate nobodies, thinking they can break through our Steel Wings with their shoddy spaceships. What a joke."
