Chapter 43 - We Surrender

A laser main cannon on the T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate fired, its beam heading straight for the Blizzard Zero, which was blocking the T2 Bee Queen-class Heavy Carrier Starship.

The Blizzard Zero's 1200mm caliber cannons fired almost simultaneously.

Then.

A huge fireball appeared in the middle of the T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate and the Blizzard Zero, and the air currents generated by the explosion formed circles of mist.

The attacks of the two happened to collide and cancel each other out.

Was this not too coincidental?

Captain Zachary Chase on the Blizzard Zero knew very well that this should be the effect of the 'Fleet Luck Value Bonus' provided by the system, just like the previous one-shot kill of the T2 Ishtar-class Heavy Interstellar Destroyer. The probability of these things happening was less than one in ten thousand. However, under the halo of the 'Fleet Luck Value Bonus', the probability of all this happening greatly increased.

After Captain Zachary's experiments, it was not certain that every attack could be a one-shot kill or achieve excellent results. But the probability of it happening was really extremely high!

Getting back to the main topic.

Captain Zachary immediately ordered: "Full speed ahead, target that T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate!"

The Blizzard Zero's speed immediately increased, reaching 100 knots in just a few seconds.

"Five T2 Medium Hyena Laser Cannons and thirty 130mm T2 Medium CIWS—all fire!"

Relying on its high maneuverability, the Blizzard Zero quickly approached the T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate, and both sides' secondary cannons fired with full power. However, the T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate had an extremely low hit rate against the high-speed Blizzard Zero, while the Blizzard Zero's secondary cannons and CIWS almost hit every shot! Continuously attacking the T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate's hull.

Boom!

As the hull was attacked, a loud noise came to Captain Zachary's ears, and the Bridge's deck also shook.

"Report, our ship's port hull armor has been shelled. Hull armor strength remaining 90%."

"Report, our ship's port hull armor has been shelled. Hull armor strength remaining 80%."

"Report, our ship's port hull armor has been shelled. Hull armor strength remaining 70%."

This should be the first time the Blizzard Zero took damage, but relying on the Interstellar Battleship's hull armor, it was more than enough to withstand the secondary cannon fire of an Interstellar Frigate.

On the other side, the T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate, which was taking hits from the Blizzard Zero, was not doing so well, with multiple parts of its hull damaged and even cracks appearing. The T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate could only wait for its laser main cannon to finish its cooldown.

But at this moment, a hint of coldness appeared in Captain Zachary's eyes.

Behind the Blizzard Zero's hull, three T2 Bumblebee-class Heavy Interstellar Drones soared out. Three interstellar torpedoes were launched at a very close distance from the T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate.

Because of the fierce battle with the Blizzard Zero just now, most of this T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate's weapons had entered the cooldown phase and could not stop the three incoming T2 Bumblebee-class Heavy Interstellar Drones. It could only watch helplessly as the three interstellar torpedoes hit the starship's Bridge, the hull's underside, and the left side of the hull where the Blizzard Zero's secondary cannons had previously attacked.

Three exploding fireballs appeared around the T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate, and then the starship was torn apart, completely falling here.

"Report, our T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate, Ship Two… has fallen." The Skinny Lieutenant reported the news to the Bearded Pirate Captain, trembling.

The Bearded Pirate Captain slumped into his captain's chair, his expression blank.

When he saw the Blizzard Zero arrive here, he sensed that something was wrong. This meant that the pirate starships on the other battlefield were likely all destroyed.

He looked at a data panel in front of him, which recorded information about all the starships in his fleet. Sure enough, most of the starship icons had turned gray, especially those starships responsible for attacking the Blizzard Zero. None survived!

This included the two T2 Ishtar-class Heavy Interstellar Destroyers and the T2 Ishkur-class Interstellar Frigate.

This meant that the Three-Clawed Serpent Interstellar Pirate Fleet was left with only one T2 starship—the T2 Gray Shark-class Medium Interstellar Cruiser. Besides that, only four T1 Vulture-class Medium Interstellar Frigates and one T1 Blue Sparrow-class Medium Interstellar Cruiser remained.

Although in terms of numbers, the Three-Clawed Serpent Interstellar Pirate Fleet still held a three-to-one advantage, in this situation, these interstellar pirates were very clear about their fate.

Watching as both the T2 Carrier Starship and the Blizzard Zero set their sights on them, their end was obvious at this moment.

"Boss… let's… surrender." The Skinny Lieutenant said cautiously.

Surrender?

The Bearded Pirate Captain was stunned; he had never expected that this 'assassination mission', which he had thought was a sure victory, would end like this. But continuing this battle was meaningless. It was only a matter of time before the remaining six pirate starships were destroyed.

"Contact that Baron. We are willing to surrender." The Bearded Pirate Captain muttered, disheartened.

An hour ago, he had never imagined that he would now be a loser begging for surrender to survive.

"Captain, the enemy's flagship has sent a communication. They are willing to give up resistance and surrender." Charlotte on the T2 Bee Queen asked Captain Zachary for his opinion.

Captain Zachary said coldly: "We are willing to accept their surrender, but they must immediately shut down all starship engines."

Charlotte hesitated for a moment but still conveyed Captain Zachary's order.

Soon, all six starships shut down their starship engines.

Inside the dark starships, those interstellar pirates were all thinking about their fate. Imprisoned in a dungeon? Sold as slaves? Or sent to a mining area, to collect ore in the mines for a lifetime until death? No matter what, at least they could live for now.

"Report, the enemy's six starships have all shut down their engines." Charlotte reported.

At this moment, Captain Zachary suddenly issued an unexpected order: "The Blizzard Zero and the T2 Bee Queen-class Heavy Carrier Starship immediately attack the remaining six pirate starships and destroy them immediately!"

He watched the six pirate starships with indifference.

When they appeared here, their fate was already sealed.

Annihilation!
