Duron didn't dare to strike up a conversation.
In his view, those space pirates were all desperados.
The spaceships of the space pirates, though shabby and old, were plentiful.
If it really came to a fight, there was a chance that the Steel Wings could get damaged. For the Gods, whose equipment was costly and population scarce, they really didn't want to engage in intense battles unless absolutely necessary.
If they had to fight, it was best to do so without casualties.
But clearly, even with Steel Wings, it would be impossible to annihilate such a large pirate group without any casualties.
Torii may openly disdain those pirates, but it seemed he understood that reasoning in his heart.
After his sarcastic remark, Torii commanded, “All spaceships, prepare for battle. Come with me. Let's deal with that rat, Toothless. If he can hand over the God's Punisher Spaceship Number, or at least tell us its whereabouts, that will be better. Otherwise, their pirate group will vanish forever in the universe today!”
Duron replied, “Yes. I'll go prepare right away.”
Upon hearing that Torii was planning to meet with the leader of the space pirates, Toothless, Nikolette playfully tugged at her husband's hand and cooed, “I want to go with you!”
Torii frowned. “These space pirates are dangerous. What are you going there for?”
Nikolette laughed. “I want to go down and experience the beautiful scenery of Kytlas. I also want to swim here. Besides, with you around, how could I possibly be in danger!”
Torii was known for his strict military discipline, and his word was law.
Yet, for his vampire wife, he showed nothing but utmost affection and indulgence.
Although he felt it was inappropriate, he eventually agreed, “All right, then. Be careful when you go down. Don't stray from my side even for a moment, to prevent any unforeseen incidents.”
Nikolette laughed. “Great!”
Soon, the flagship released three aircraft.
The advanced aircraft gently descended onto the flagship of the pirate fleet.
Torii, accompanied by his wife, descended from the aircraft with a group of high-ranking Gods officers, including Duron, their faces filled with arrogance.
The pirates on the scene were wary and exceptionally tense.
The commanding voice of Duron immediately rang out when he said, “The esteemed General Torii of the Gods Air Force has arrived. Let the King of Space Pirates, Toothless, come out and meet our general. Enrage our general, and you shall stain the vast ocean with your blood!”
