Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

Chapter 417 Despair and Hope

"I have a question!"

Someone raised his hand in the conference room.

Robin nodded slightly and then made a please gesture.

"Since the Rock Pirates have planted spies in the Poison Dragon Pirates and thus know our intelligence, shouldn't they just send a few five-star pirates to get killed?"

"After all, even if it was eight hundred years ago, four five-star pirate groups wouldn't be able to defeat them, right?"

Hearing this, many people nodded.

That’s right, the strength sent by the other side this time was simply too weak.

What’s the difference between this and giving away your life?

"Well, this is exactly what I was going to explain!"

"The Rock Pirates are quite far away from us. Even if they set out immediately after receiving the news, it will take them half a year to a year longer to arrive than the Poison Dragon Pirates!"

"With such a time difference, by the time they get here, it will be too late."

"So, the Rock Pirates came up with a solution. In the Space Pirate Alliance, there are three iron laws called the Supreme Principles, and one of them stipulates that when a target has been robbed by a certain pirate group, the other pirate groups cannot intervene, unless the pirate group agrees, or the rob has ended, or... the rob has failed!"

"So, the Rock Pirates found a few pirate groups under their command that were close to this side and belonged to their faction, and ordered them to set off first and get here before the Poison Dragon and One-Eyed Pirates."

"After that, things will be easy. The Rock Pirates don't need them to conquer the pirate world. They just need to occupy the planetary orbit of the pirate world and pretend to be plundering. Anyway, the alliance has not stipulated how long a plundering can last."

"In this way, when the Poison Dragon and One-Eyed Pirates arrive, even if they are seven-star and eight-star pirates, they will not be able to do anything to the four five-star pirates. After all, that is the highest rule that even the ten-star pirates dare not violate."

"Finally, they just have to wait for their side, the Rock Pirates, to arrive!"

So that's what happened...

I've learned something new. There are actually such rules in the Pirate Alliance.

The Rock Pirates really played their cards right, but...

Wait, this means that in a year and a half, we will have to fight against the Poison Dragon Pirates and the One-Eyed Pirates, and two years later, we will have to fight against the Rock Pirates?

The enemies are increasing?

After listening to Robin's explanation, everyone had different thoughts in their minds.

At the same time, many people have noticed a key problem.

That is...

It has only been half a year since we dealt with the Poison Dragon and the One-Eyed Pirates.

Then, in just half a year, they have to fight against another eight-star pirate group?

This is crazy!

Not even one eight-star pirate group is strong enough. Even if they can win, it will probably be a miserable victory, and they will have to fight against another one after their strength is greatly reduced.

There is no chance at all!

Many people showed ugly expressions at this moment.

After all, according to normal logic, this is almost impossible to do.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet!"

Just as the meeting room began to become chaotic, Im spoke.

All of a sudden, everyone fell silent and quiet fell in an instant.

Then, Im nodded to Robin.

"continue!"

"Ok!"

Luo Bing also nodded.

Then he continued to speak.

"Everyone knows that the speed of the space pirates' warships is actually not fast. They are not even as fast as our warships. At this speed, it is almost impossible to fly between different star systems!"

"Let's not talk about other things. The star system closest to our solar system is the star system called Proxima Centauri inside our Junlin. It is more than 4 light years away from the solar system. With the warships of those space pirates, it would take at least tens of thousands of years to cross this distance!"

"Not to mention, according to the results of the interrogation so far, there are no pirate groups within hundreds of light years around us, so..."

"How on earth did these space pirates manage to travel thousands or even tens of thousands of light years to our solar system in just a few years?"

"The answer is the cosmic current!"

As he spoke, Robin controlled the three-dimensional virtual image in the conference room, showing two star systems on the left and right.

Then, a straight line connects the two places, and after zooming in...

"Everyone, this is the cosmic current, a special channel created by the gravitational interaction between star systems."

"Any spacecraft that enters it can travel quickly through the universe at about 3000 times the speed of light."

"The only drawback is that you can only fly from point to point and you can't stop or change course midway."

"At the same time, most of the ocean currents in space are very narrow. After taking into account the safe distance between warships, at most ten large pirate warships can pass through at the same time, which means..."

"If we gather forces to guard the exit of the cosmic current, then each wave will only have to face a limited number of warships and personnel, and we..."

"It will form an absolute military suppression!"

hiss...

Wonderful! !

Many people smiled at this moment.

This is really wonderful!

Compared to the situation where both sides are preparing for battle, the pirates have an absolute advantage in military strength...

Run directly to the exit of the cosmic current, then set up an encirclement and attack them as soon as they come out!

Each wave has a maximum of ten warships and a very limited number of warriors.

this...

It smells really good.

So, we also have hope!

The despair in the conference room just now, at this moment...

It was swept away in an instant.

Of course, compared to the happiness on everyone's faces.

Luo Lan and Yim were not so optimistic.

They knew very well that although fighting with the help of cosmic currents would give them a great advantage on the surface.

But the time interval between each wave of warships passing through the cosmic ocean currents is not very long.

According to what we observed this time, it was probably less than a minute.

At the beginning, we can indeed take advantage of this and gain an absolute advantage in terms of large military forces.

But after a long time, this advantage will be wiped out sooner or later as more and more people arrive on the other side, and even this military advantage will eventually return to the hands of the other side.

So, it's not that simple.

Of course, the two of them would not point out this problem specifically. Even Robin only proposed this tactic under Luo Lan's instruction.

The purpose...

It's just to boost morale and keep the pirate world from being in trouble before the enemy arrives...

My morale collapsed first.
