NOVPUBChapter 825 -825 News
The strength and heritage of this family are very formidable. Even if Qin Hao wants to deal with them, he has to consider it carefully.
With the power of the Guo Family in the Nolan Empire, they likely possess advanced mechas, potentially in large numbers. It’s not something that can be dealt with easily.
At this moment, Qin Hao doesn’t know that the Guo Family is already gathering forces, planning to invade the Southern Wilderness Star System and wipe out Earth.
The Guo Family is still basing their assessment of Earth’s strength on a few months ago, so they’ve dispatched nearly twenty F-class warships and one advanced warship, along with five elite Mechanical Soldiers.
In the eyes of the Guo Family, these five elite Mechanical Soldiers are enough to handle the entire Earth.
A mere primitive planet dares to encroach on the interests of our Divine Wind Group. This is sheer recklessness. This time, the Guo Family not only intends to capture the people of the Elf Clan but also to enslave the entire Earth.
Previously, you repelled a few mercenary squads and thought no one could deal with you? It was just that the major powers couldn’t be bothered with you.
We didn’t seek trouble with you, yet you took the initiative to provoke our Divine Wind Group.
…
Every day, Qin Hao and others keep an eye on online news. Whenever there is information about the Elf Clan, the system alerts them.
After more than ten days of travel, Luna and Jiao Rou have been completely won over by him, and their relationship has grown much closer than before.
They’ve now just left the Xuanzhou Kingdom and are currently in the vacuum zone between the Xuanzhou Kingdom and the Shuiyuan Alliance Republic. This area is resource-poor and quite sensitive, often leading to skirmishes between the two nations.
Hundreds of stars away from them, a relatively large and exquisite asteroid is docked with a larger, dilapidated warship and dozens of smaller high-altitude cosmic shuttles on its rear side.
“There are merchant ships coming, three in total. Huh? There’s no escort ship,” someone said excitedly.
The leader of the pirates hurried over, “No escort ship? This is like mutton sent to our doorstep.”
“Boss, could it be a fishing boat, deliberately luring us out?”
“Nonsense, no one controls this place. Everyone, stay alert. We haven’t had a full meal for days. If we don’t rob something soon, we’ll starve to death.”
On Shui Huilan’s ship, no anomalies were detected because the pirates’ ships were currently powered down and thus undetectable.
However, Leng Xuan and others, relying on their mecha’s warning system, discovered the pirates and informed Qin Hao immediately.
Upon receiving the news, Qin Hao said to Shui Huilan, “There are pirates behind that asteroid ahead.”
Shui Huilan was stunned for a moment, “Why didn’t the ship detect anything? How many people?”
“Over a hundred, with dozens of shuttles and one warship,” Qin Hao replied.
As Qin Hao was speaking, the ship was still dozens of miles away from the pirates when suddenly the pirates’ shuttles and warship powered up.
The shuttles and warship roared towards Shui Huilan’s three transport ships.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The warship fired a series of laser cannons, and Leng Xuan and others began to counterattack, intercepting the shells from the warship since only these shells posed any threat to the ships.
Within seconds, the pirates’ sole warship exploded into a ball of fire, and none of the pirates on board survived.
The other cosmic shuttles were stunned. What the hell, the boss is dead? How could there be such powerful firepower without an escort ship?
But it was too late for them to retreat. Leng Xuan and others fired their energy cannons, and with rapid speed, the Shadow Guards flew out, activating their sub-light speed propulsors and arrived in front of the enemies in a blink of an eye.
D-class mechas against these outdated cosmic shuttles was a one-sided massacre. A few minutes later, the battlefield returned to silence, and all the pirates were slaughtered completely.
Shui Huilan’s convoy continued their journey, unaffected.
In this manner, they traveled through the endless starry sky for over a month, getting closer to the Nolan Empire.
Along the way, they kept an eye on the Elf Clan news online but found no updates.
Qin Hao, however, learned one piece of information: people from the Elf Clan’s home planet had been rescued, enraging the Divine Wind Group, which had now gathered a fleet and was heading to the Southern Wilderness Star System to destroy Earth.
Such a large-scale mobilization of the fleet couldn’t be concealed from others, so the news had already spread.
Upon getting the news, Qin Hao immediately informed Chang Jing, telling him to prepare as the Divine Wind Group’s exact strength was no secret and available online.
The Divine Wind Group thought that it was impossible for Earth’s people to have reached the interstellar realm, so they didn’t hide anything. In their eyes, Earth was just a bit more technologically advanced than other primitive planets and not worth worrying about.
After getting the news, Qin Hao couldn’t help but sneer. With just them, they think they can annihilate Earth? Sheer delusion.
“News! There’s news!” Qingtao’s voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Hao quickly reacted and, along with Luna and Jiao Rou, went over to Qingtao. On the display in front of her was a message: The Nolan Empire’s Divine Wind City will hold an Elf Clan Princess Auction in three months. Five stunning Elf Clan princesses and the Elf Clan queen will be up for auction.
The advertisement even had a promotional video showing the Elf Clan queen and the five princesses, each being a peerless beauty of national allure.
Because the galaxy is vast, people from many places need a long time to travel, so they’re starting the promotion early.
The main focus of their promotion is the eight major empires and a few neighboring powerful and wealthy kingdoms. Other countries don’t have many wealthy people.
Seeing this, Luna and Jiao Rou were delighted and eagerly looked at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao frowned slightly, and Shui Huilan looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you happy after receiving the news?”
“So many being auctioned at once? Plus, this is the Nolan Empire. There are too many wealthy people. It’s going to be difficult to win the auction for all of them,” Qin Hao replied.
Shui Huilan was stunned, looking at him in shock, “You’re seriously thinking of bidding for all of them? Can you handle that many?”
Li Jiaqi and Qingtao were equally astonished.
Only Luna and Jiao Rou understood Qin Hao’s intention. He actually wanted to help the Elf Clan.
Qin Hao smiled and explained, “Luna and Jiao Rou also want to reunite with their sisters, and I have a great fondness for the Elf Clan. We’ll see what the situation is when the time comes and decide then.”
Shui Huilan felt a bit envious of Luna and Jiao Rou. Indeed, even heroes can’t resist the charms of beautiful women. Qin Hao plans to spend billions to buy several Elf Clan princesses and the queen just for them. How much would that cost? At least billions.
Billions! Even the Shui Family’s total assets don’t amount to that much. Qin Hao is willing to spend such a sum for a few female slaves. She now wished she could become an Elf Clan princess and be bought by Qin Hao.
