2681, Calamity Legion
"What? Are you going to send the main force up?" Silas-Tagge was shocked.
This fleet can be said to be his last hope. Now he has to send all of them out to fight against the superior fleet of Orman-Tagge? How is this possible!
If this fleet is still in his hands, then he Silas can still be considered a warlord, and he still has some means of self-protection. But if the fleet is here now, then he really has nothing.
"Now we have to make a choice!" Cassio-Tagge said sternly, "The opponent's Commander is very cautious. He left at least half of the fighters behind. Under such circumstances, rashly exposing our ambush will only accelerate our failure! Now the only way is to overwhelm the entire main fleet and make the opponent think that this is our last strength, so that they can send all the fighters up!"
"Is there no other way?" Silas-Tagge panicked.
Cassio-Tagge said seriously, "The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the opponent's actions are very cautious. This is our only way. To win in danger, it is now! Give the order, Master!"
He handed the choice to Silas without any warning, catching the other party off guard. Because under normal circumstances, such military decisions should be decided by his frontline Commander.
"I... this..." Silas-Tagge's body trembled a little. Cassio-Tagge put the life and death of the entire fleet in his hands, which made him suddenly confused without any psychological preparation.
But Cassio-Tagge's last sentence of 'owner' made Silas feel that it was natural for him to make the decision.
As a result, faced with such a situation, he became worried about gains and losses.
Looking at the holographic combat star map, the red marks representing enemy ships are connected together, and they are pressing over densely, slowly but resolutely. Obviously, the opponent's Commander is mature and prudent, and would rather give up some opportunities than ensure that his battle plan is foolproof.
Facing a situation where we are outnumbered, we are not afraid that the enemy is a famous general who has been famous for a long time. What we are afraid of is this guy who clearly has the advantage but still keeps his posture very low.
Silas-Tagge thought carefully. He suddenly raised his head, looked at Cassio-Tagge, and said seriously, "I have thought about it carefully. Let go of the border defense line and call your mercenaries over. When can they get here?"
Cassio-Tagge said calmly, "It's actually very simple to release the border defense line. Shut down Interdictor, give them navigation authorization, and temporarily cut off the communication at the border hyperspace outpost. They can arrive in two hours at most. But the problem is that they are mercenaries after all. Although they have friendship with me, friendship cannot be used as food and must be paid. Moreover, their asking price is very high."
"Let them come! Let them come quickly for reinforcements! I have plenty of money! When did we Tagge family ever lack money!!" Silas-Tagge shouted hurriedly.
Cassio-Tagge nodded, and he connected a communication in front of Silas. There was only a black shadow on the other side of the holographic projection.
"Are you still interested in the business I told you last time? Scar." Cassio-Tagge said coldly, "The employer is very generous. As long as he can handle this ragtag army, he will give you 20 million Imperial credits."
"It's familiar, Cassio, you should know that behind this miscellaneous army is probably Imperial Navy. I don't dare to get involved with the Empire." Black Shadow said.
"Imperial Navy will not care about this matter, don't worry. The employer has already taken care of it. Kill this fleet. The Empire will characterize this battle as an internal struggle within the family." Cassio-Tagge said, "As long as you take this job, Imperial frontier's navigation authorization code will be given to you immediately. Before the Empire's border outpost renews its authorization, you will be treated as a friendly force by them for at least three months."
"Since you have said so, I will believe you once. After all, when we were licking blood from Hutt Space's knife before, you did not treat our brothers badly." Black Shadow said, "Twenty million Imperial credits is no problem, but the losses of all our warships and personnel in this battle will be billed separately."
"No problem. Remember, be quick. I will help you attract Commander's attention." Cassio-Tagge nodded.
Outer Rim Territories, Tatooine, Mos Espa Port.
Ni Yongxiao was sitting on the sofa, his feet resting comfortably on the coffee table, and a glass of expensive wine in his hand. He looked at the colorful light emitted by the glass of wine through the light.
"You know? I often have dreams." Ni Yongxiao said lightly, "A dream that makes people feel very bad."
He raised his eyes and looked at the extremely sturdy Falin in front of him. This Falin was tall and muscular. He was obviously an anomaly among the Falin who were generally known for their agility.
Ni Yongxiao shook the wine glass and continued, "In that dream, I shouldered the mission of my family and had to do things that I deeply hated. Moreover, my actions were restricted everywhere, just like... a cheetah lurking in the dark. Although it is powerful, it cannot see the light. So in the dream, I often wonder, what is light?"
He raised his eyes and looked at Falin in front of him, "Huh? Roan. Tell me."
"Hmph! Boring stuff." Falin, named Roan, curled his lips and said, "For me, money means light. After doing this business, that is the real light. Hahahaha..."
Ni Yongxiao said calmly, "Money? But what if I tell you that even if you get this money, you don't dare to spend it? The things you are doing now, if I were to give you a serious sentence, are enough to sentence you to death a hundred times. But why do you still stand here and talk to me about making money even if you have violated almost every law?"
"Hmph! How do I know about you big shots? In short, I do things for you and you give me money, that's it. If you have money, I will have light!" Roan said.
"So, light is power!" Ni Yongxiao said with a smile, "Only when you have power can you have the ability to walk under the light. Power is light. In that dream, I could only hide in the darkness, look at the light from a distance, and couldn't get it. In the end... I died and woke up from the dream."
He took a sip of wine and continued, "But when I woke up, I was bathed in light and enjoyed everything the light brought to me... Yes, this is light... it is intoxicating."
"You are a big shot." Roan said impatiently, "No matter what you do, it is legal. Even if you ship spices to Imperial Core Worlds one by one, you can still get asylum. But look outside, in Mos Espa Port Those gangsters who sell the cheap spice 'Staff of Death' will be punished by death if they are caught selling more than 500 grams. So, don't talk nonsense to me. Our boss has urged us several times, why are we still not allowed to do it?"
"Go back and tell Magtan-Scar that times have changed. Light can sometimes hurt people." Ni Yongxiao said.
"You want to hurt us?" Roan asked.
"Of course not." Ni Yongxiao smiled slightly.
"Then it's over! Hahahaha!" Roan laughed loudly, "Don't worry, as soon as we cross the border, the entire Galactic Empire will be our hunting ground!!"
"I'm reminding you, Roan. Once you cross the border of the Galactic Empire, Calamity Legion, it will be different from before." Ni Yongxiao said.
"Of course it's different! Hahahaha! Just wait!" Roan laughed.
"Then..." Ni Yongxiao took out a black memory and threw it directly at Roan, "Let's go, Calamity Legion."
"Hahahaha!" Roan laughed and walked out.
Ni Yongxiao looked at his back, drank the wine in his hand, and his eyes gradually became cold.
Calamity Legion, is no longer suitable for this era...
Once upon a time, Calamity Legion was a bargaining chip created by Tang Xiao to disrupt the situation of Hutt Space. At that time, Fourth Civilization was just starting out and had to cooperate with the two outlaw brothers Bosa, Bulederick-Shale and Magtan-Scar. Later, based on their gang of desperadoes, it developed into the Calamity Legion.
After that, Calamity Legion continued to grow and develop with the secret support of Fourth Civilization. Tang Xiao also threw the bloodthirsty Gnoll away, which made Calamity Legion even more terrifying. They continued to engage in evil deeds and helped Fourth Civilization do many sinful and dirty deeds to protect the development of this new civilization.
They assassinate, rob, kidnap, smuggle, and commit all kinds of evil. Later, when Big BOSS and Mira-Han were sent to serve as the chief and deputy leaders, they became more restrained. That period was also the time of drastic changes for Hutt Space. With the help of the Calamity Legion, Fourth Civilization can support Hutt Ziro-Desilijic and Gaddula-Besadi People like E successfully triggered the civil war of Hutt Space and played a key role in the rise of the Goresla Family, which Tang Xiao really supported.
However, Big BOSS was already in his sixties when he was awakened. After the basic situation of Hutt Space became clear, he chose to retire and went to Hoth Sector to serve as Sector Governor. And Mira-Han also returned home to give birth to his son with Matt-Hona.
So the dominance of the Calamity Legion returned to Magtan-Scar, one of the founders, but Scar later became older. Numerous hidden injuries from years of fighting made his body weaken quickly, so he retired and went to sell arms with Yuri-Orlov, which was like returning to the place where the two met in the first place.
At this time, Kingdom of Dawn's strategic goal is no longer in Hutt Space, so Calamity Legion is in a free-range state. Of course, Kingdom of Dawn didn't do nothing. After Yuri-Orlov died, they sent Magtan-Scar to take charge of the Calamity Legion again. However, due to physical reasons, Magtan-Scar's status is that of an elder, which is equivalent to Supreme Emperor whose symbolic meaning is greater than his actual power.
The leaders of the Calamity Legion have changed several times during this period, all of which are the result of internal struggles. The Falin Roan who is talking to Ni Yongxiao now is the latest leader of the Calamity Legion.
Moreover, as Kingdom of Dawn's direct management of the Calamity Legion continues to weaken, Calamity Legion's behavior has gradually moved closer to a real interstellar pirate group. They have become the most powerful interstellar pirate group active in the Hutt Space area.
But now, with the collapse of the Galactic Empire's rule under Southern Sector, Calamity Legion actually has no effect now. However, after so many years of development, Calamity Legion has long become a harbor of filth and evil, but it also has outstanding achievements. If it is rashly banned, it may cause some trouble. Therefore, Kingdom of Dawn was initially inclined to maintain the status quo and treat Calamity Legion as a peripheral military force, just like its relationship with Geth.
However, Calamity Legion is no longer the disciplined mercenary he was during the period under Big BOSS. Roan and the previous short-lived leaders were all engaged in the work of interstellar pirates, and they were insatiable. In addition to Kingdom of Dawn's state-owned enterprise's spaceships, they would not touch them. Sometimes they even robbed Kingdom of Dawn's civilians' spaceships. On the surface, they are extremely respectful to Kingdom of Dawn. They know that only in this way can they continue to receive support and continue to strengthen themselves.
Therefore, this time Tagge family's civil strife happened to be near Southern Territory. Qi Jian used Ni Yongxiao to test Calamity Legion and let them handle Tagge family's affairs. At the same time, he also observed whether Calamity Legion still needed to exist.
Since Ni Yongxiao resigned from the secret service Intelligence Department Minister, he has concentrated on running his own gang. On the surface, he has nothing to do with Kingdom of Dawn, but in fact he is developing an underground intelligence network through the opportunity of smuggling spices. His current superficial identity is that he is the boss of Hutt Space's largest gang and smuggling group. It will not be too out of the ordinary for him to handle the affairs of the Calamity Legion.
He went to Roan several times, and his words hinted that he should stop, and gradually break Calamity Legion apart, and then gradually disband. This is the best choice. As for these people, Kingdom of Dawn naturally has arrangements there.
However, Roan always just pretended to be stupid and turned a deaf ear to Ni Yongxiao's hints.
Of course he knew that once he gave up Calamity Legion, no matter how Kingdom of Dawn arranged it, life would never be so comfortable.
If this is the case, then this battle to disrupt the civil strife of Tagge family in Druckenwell planet will be a big test of life and death for the Calamity Legion. The situation revealed during this battle will affect Kingdom of Dawn's final decision on the Calamity Legion!
At this moment, Roan has returned to his battleship. He shouted loudly in the bridge, "Brothers! The opportunity has come! Grab money! Grab territory! Grab women!! This is officially permitted! Hahahahahaha!! Brothers, let's go!! The target is Druckenwell planet! Kill me! Grab it! Hahahahaha!"
