The star pirate melee before them had begun when Saine and the others discovered an interstellar merchant convoy that had been raided.
Saine's Ash Star Thief Group had been the third party to step in.
Before their arrival, a small star pirate organization called the "Red Beard Star Thief Group" had nearly swallowed up the interstellar merchant convoy before them.
If it had been the Alebi Star Pirate Group's original assets alone, they clearly would not have been enough for such high-end black-eats-black work.
But with Fumila, the Eight-Winged Angel, and the Angel Legion under her command, it was a different story!
The Intelligent Robots, once extremely orderly, seemed to have opened the gates to a new paradise after undergoing repeated interstellar raids.
In the Star Realm, so long as intelligence existed, desire would arise—sooner or later.
The desires of the Intelligent Robots under Saine were simple: create more of their kind and obtain a legitimate status as intelligent lifeforms.
To create more Angel-Type Robots, they first needed money.
Where would the money come from?
On the Civilization Battlefield, they could seize massive wealth by capturing Galente Federation Transport Ships and resource supply centers.
And in the starry skies of this unknown Alien Star Region, engaging in star piracy was clearly the most costless business.
Moreover, resources and wealth had many other uses.
Having attended a Wizard Alliance Assembly and gained an increasingly profound understanding of how the Wizard Alliance system operated, Saine knew this well.
If one wished to hold a certain position within the Wizard Alliance, especially if one hoped to push forward certain alliance bills, then having no money was absolutely out of the question.
Unless the upper echelons of Wizard Civilization promoted some rule from the top down, which would not require too much additional cost.
