"The Flying Green Ship," inside the bridge.

As soon as Li Nuo opened his eyes, he heard the noisy boy's shouts.

"Boss! Shrimp's sent another communication request!"

The boy looking for Dongdong next to him immediately shouted:

"Boss, the shrimp's ship is approaching us! Hahaha, these shrimps are crazy! They only have one ship, and they still dare to come over."

Upon hearing this, Li Nuo raised an eyebrow and quickly began to monitor the situation inside and outside the bridge.

The number of ships in Big Black Fang 2 has increased to five.

Besides the original three ships, the other two are the remnants of the first generation of Blacktooth, which were just recently acquired.

Speaking of the process of incorporating them, Li Nuo felt both amused and exasperated.

When Big Black Fang first explored the Web Path, didn't he leave two ships in the real universe?

Before long, the two ships fell into infighting, with the crews forming factions and fighting each other in space.

After fooling around like this for more than four months, Li Nuo followed the spatial coordinates of the Big Black Tooth's entry into the network channel and was surprised to find that the two ships had been stationary in the same place all along.

The ship was a complete mess, with poop and debris everywhere.

Li Nuo perfectly recreated the image of Big Black Teeth, connected the communication between the two ships, and unleashed a torrent of abuse, thus subduing all the boys and scoundrels on the ships.

After Big Black Tooth appeared, the "elders" on the two ships were so excited that they rushed over and bowed down, almost kissing Li Nuo's feet.

"Boss! You're finally back! We missed you so much!"

"Boss! I want to steal Sparkling!"

"My hands are itching, boss! They're so itchy! I want to steal Xia Mi's golden glitter!"

Alas, the inherent flaws of space pirates.

Without faith, without conviction, without discipline, they are a disorganized mess, constantly scrambling and fighting.
Let's grab a barren spot!

Without saying a word, Li Nuo brought two ships to a remote area of ​​the Hazy Starfield, where he had his subordinates, Tech Master and Tech Boy, thoroughly modify the ships, and then had Pain Boy inject the orcs on board with gene-modifying drugs.

We must bring these orcs, who were born in space, back to the right path, otherwise how can we lead them to strengthen Apimatt's space guard?

A massive genetic modification project was thus launched.

At this moment, large-scale genetic modification is underway on the two ships of Big Black Fang 1.

This will modify the genes of the orc pirates, making them more disciplined, more hardworking, and more WAAAAGH!

This process needs to be kept strictly secret and must not be detected by the armed cargo ships approaching the pirate fleet.

Li Nuo's mind raced, and an idea came to her.

We are pirates!
It makes perfect sense for pirates to attack armed cargo ships!

You're here to do business, right? You must have brought a lot of money!
If we kill you all, all the gold and silver treasures on the ship will be ours!
"Gah gah gah! Listen up, guys, the fat sheep has delivered itself to our doorstep, so we don't need to be polite! Everyone, get ready! Turn the boat around and prepare to fire! Blow it up!"

"WAAAGH! Blow it up!"

"Let's get it! Let's get it! Hehehe~"

The moment they heard there was a fight to be had, the boys got excited; it was an instinct ingrained in their genes.

The five ships simultaneously adjusted their course, aiming their broadsides, which were equipped with cannons, at the armed cargo ship.

The cargo ship maintained its speed and course, continuing its journey toward the pirate fleet.

A new communication request has been sent to the bridge.

"Boss, the shrimp said they don't have ship-borne shields or ship-borne weapons, they're just here to make a deal, and they begged us not to fire."

"Open! Open it like a ton of bricks! Don't believe a damn nonsense! How could a Moon-class cruiser not have a Void Shield!?"

Li Nuo let out a roar, and the sound of cannons firing came from the side, making the bridge rumble and tremble.

The instant the cannons fired in unison, the armed cargo ship raised its void shield.

The thrusters exploded and accelerated, and the cargo ship drew a nimble arc in the air, demonstrating extremely sophisticated emergency maneuverability.

The cargo ship dodged all the incoming shells!

Amazing positioning and anticipation!

Seeing this, Li Nuo knew perfectly well that this was definitely a regular army.

"Interesting. What's the background of this ship? If it's from the Ministry of Justice, why did it only send one ship? But if it's not from the Ministry of Justice, why would it go to such lengths to contact the orc pirates?"

Li Nuo was completely baffled, but that didn't stop him from issuing the order:
"Tell the shrimp to deactivate the void shield, stay where they are and don't move, and turn off the anti-scanning field so we can scan their ships. If they disagree or don't react, keep firing!"

"Okay, boss!"

The noisy boy rattled off what his boss had said.

"What?! Our boss said that as long as you stay where you are, turn off the shield and the anti-scanning field, we won't hit you! Did you hear me?! Do you want me to repeat myself?!"

The green-skinned voice echoed within the bridge of the Luna-class cruiser.

The chief of the sound array looked up at Cole Fallon on the control platform, who nodded slightly to him.

"Understood, we'll stop the boat right away."

Fallon was not angered by the orc pirates' attack.

In fact, after spending a lot of time with these green-skinned creatures, he had already figured out their thought processes: rude, barbaric, competitive, and restless.

It is undeniable that they are simple-minded.

If you find the right method, you can communicate with them happily.

"Pass down the order to activate the second bridge and take over the green-skinned ship's communication signal."

"Yes, sir." The sound array master manipulated the system, and the green-skinned maneuver's communication signal was transferred to another cabin on the ship.

That was the cabin designated as Bridge Two, decorated in the same style as ordinary mortal caravans, with no trace of Space Marines or Mechanicus.

The person who plays the roles of helmsman, chief sound array operator, and captain on the second bridge is a veteran ordinary man who has been ruthlessly seeking answers. He has extensive combat experience and superb acting skills and has never made a mistake.

Their interactions with the green-skinned people would be transmitted to Fallon via surveillance footage.

"My lord, the Void Shield is deactivated, the ship is stationary, the orc pirates' shelling has stopped, and no fire control signals have been detected. The anti-scanning field is activated and has not been deactivated."

"Sir, the orc pirates' communication signal is about to be connected to bridge number two. Three, two, one, connect."

The chief of the sound array pressed the mechanical button.

Two windows appeared on the holographic screen in front of Fallon.

The window on the left features a one-eyed green-skinned figure wearing a black pirate hat and an old-fashioned captain's uniform, with a mouthful of large black teeth as its most striking feature.

The window on the right is occupied by a middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman. He is pot-bellied and dressed in luxurious down clothing, adorned with jewelry and precious metal ornaments.

People in the left and right windows can see each other.

Fallon can see both parties in the communication, but the two parties in the communication cannot see Fallon.

Big Black Tooth yelled at the top of his lungs: "Hey! What?! I said, shut down the anti-scanning field!"

The wealthy human businessman stood with his hands behind his back, chuckling obsequiously.
"Big Black Fang, don't rush, I'm here to do business with you. I've long heard that Captain Big Black Fang of the Misty Starfield is mighty, decisive, and wise..."

Before the human tycoon could finish speaking, the mechanical priest below Fallon cried out:

"Fire control signal detected. The orc pirates are about to fire."

The wealthy businessman couldn't hear the mechanical priest's voice, but Fallon heard it clearly.

The Luna-class cruiser undergoes a slow acceleration process from a standstill to the start of normal navigation.

If the veteran disguised as a wealthy human merchant can't hold off Big Black Fang, then our side will have no choice but to erect a void shield to withstand the artillery fire.

Given the Void Shield's defensive capabilities, if even one-third of the twenty incoming shells hit, the Void Shield will overload, and the ship will suffer significant damage.

"You absolutely have to keep those damn green sardines in check..." Fallon gripped the fence tightly, beads of cold sweat involuntarily forming on his forehead.

"My esteemed Blacktooth, I wish to request that you eliminate my rival. For this, I have prepared a commission of 3000 million Throne Coins, and I am willing to pay half as a deposit upfront..."

The wealthy human businessman's statements were contradictory.

He had previously claimed he was there to buy information from Big Black Tooth, but now he's allegedly hiring someone to commit murder.

However, this is not a big problem.

Orc pirates in the Misty Starfield frequently trade with the Cold Trade, and the Cold Trade groups mostly use Throne Coins as their currency.

As long as the Throne Coins are provided, Fallon doesn't believe Big Black Tooth will remain unmoved.

Sure enough, in the communication screen on the left, Big Black Tooth's expression softened a bit, a greedy glint in his eyes, and the two rows of black teeth that were bared outside his lips gradually retracted into his mouth.

"You want to buy a murderous shrimp? Haha! You've come to the right place! In this entire Misty Starfield, everyone knows that I, Big Black Tooth, am the most trustworthy. Tell me, who do you want me to beat up?"

The wealthy businessman, with a smile on his face, bowed slightly.
“Big Black Tooth, how about I send a delegation aboard your ship to talk to you in person? To show my sincerity, I’ll have the delegation bring the deposit with them.”

Big Black Tooth grinned, his jet-black teeth gleaming with a golden light under the force field light source:
“That would be great. There’s an old saying in Terra: ‘If a friend comes from outer space, I’m very happy.’ Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll send someone over there, so you don’t need to come over.”

"This big black-toothed guy is just as cautious as the legends say. Luckily, we made ample tactical preparations in advance."

Fallon chuckled softly.

The officers below the command platform nodded in agreement.

The wealthy businessman in the communication screen deliberately pretended to think, and offered a compromise:

"Big Black Tooth, how about this? We each send a shuttle to meet in the void."

"Hmm...okay." Li Nuo nodded, brandishing his force field sword and performing a sword flourish:
"Don't try to trick me. If you don't behave, I'll make sure you get a cannonball."

"Don't worry, we're here to do business, not to cause trouble."

The wealthy human bowed slightly, and the communication ended.

Li Nuo pointed to the special forces soldier below the command platform:
"You, hide in the compartment of the shuttle and find an opportunity to transfer to the shuttle on the other side."

"hold head high!"

The special forces soldier patted his chest, activated the "Brother Mao Quietly" force field, wrapped himself in a cloak painted with "Brother Mao's Black Hair" paint, and silently slipped out of the bridge.

Before he left, Li Nuo casually created a simulated save file for him.

With a thought, Li Nuo transferred his consciousness from Big Black Fang 2nd Generation to Special Forces Kid.

The fact that the armed cargo ship hadn't disarmed its anti-scanning field for so long was clearly very suspicious to anyone.

Li Nuo decided to go over and see what was going on.

He hid in the gap between the external compartment and the armor plate of the shuttle, activated his bacterial ability—subspace walking—and fixed himself to the outer shell of the shuttle.

After a short flight, the green-skinned shuttle and the human empire's heavily armed shuttle met halfway through the journey.

After some coordination, the two sides set up a sealed, suspended corridor.

Just as Li Nuo was preparing to transfer to the ship opposite, the Noisy Box emitted the voice of Big Black Fang 2:

"Hey kid, there's a large area on that shuttle over there covered by lead plates, so the search device can't see what's inside. Go check it out."

The second generation of Big Black Tooth didn't have the gene fragment of the idiot boy. He didn't know that the third brother of the second brother, Brother Li, had been transferred into the special forces boy, and only treated him as a subordinate.

Li Nuo didn't bother to correct Da Hei Ya's wording, simply responded, and then, in his subspace walking state, crept towards the opposite cabin.

He quickly identified the area enclosed by lead plates.

He carefully stuck his head half a meter into the wall and finally saw what was behind it.

I!
leave!
thunder!
楼！
某！
Where the hell did these Space Marines come from?!

what? !

What's going on? !

Fifteen muscular men in MK3 power armor stood in a line, their bodies unmarked and without any paint or insignia.

When Li Nuo discovered the group of Space Marines, they seemed to have received some kind of order. They collectively activated their magnetic boots and the Guangxu stealth field, silently opened the hatches and stepped out, heading straight for the Greenskins' shuttle.

These guys have bad intentions!

Putting aside why they would target Big Black Tooth, their secretive behavior alone shows that they are not here with good intentions.

Li Nuo's mind raced, and all sorts of strategies flashed through his mind.

Ultimately, he chose the safest option, which would also eliminate these scoundrels in one fell swoop.

He quickly switched back to the body of Big Black Fang 2, issued an order, and then turned the perspective back to Special Forces Kid.

The fifteen Space Marines boarded the Greenskins' shuttle, and the Greenskins' representative carried a large box of Throne Coins back the way they came.

Li Nuo hid inside the shrimp's shuttle and successfully infiltrated the Lunar-class cruiser a dozen minutes later.

The moment he stepped inside, he heard the voice of a man in his fifties or sixties coming over the loudspeaker.

"Attention all crews, the boarding cover agreement is in effect. Thirty seconds to go, all ships enter attack mode and cooperate with the boarding squad to capture Big Black Fang alive. No one is allowed to harm Big Black Fang. We want him alive and his fleet, not corpses."

So they came here to capture Big Black Tooth alive; no wonder they went to such great lengths.

Which Space Marine legion has its eye on Blacktooth?
Li Nuo pondered to himself, then quickly made his way to the bridge, following the layout of the Moon-class cruiser's cabins.

On the way, he passed a cabin that looked like a bridge, but was not the command center.

Inside the ship's cabin, the "human tycoon" was removing his disguise, transforming from a chubby middle-aged man into a lean human soldier with calloused hands.

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes and quickened his pace.

As they stepped onto the actual bridge, the truth came to light along with the figures on the command platform.

Although the man was tall and strong, he exuded an air of old age and impending death.

His eye bags were heavy, his eyes and forehead were covered with wrinkles, his lips were thin like blades, and his eyes were cold and cruel like a wolf.

The moment Li Nuo saw this person, he froze, and a name exploded in his mind!
Cole Fallon!

Loka Aurelion's adoptive father!
One of the three giants of the Word Bearers!
