Then Let's Fight

"Pops is right."

Marco nodded in agreement.

"Our intelligence has identified several key gathering points. If we strike them precisely, we can cripple their alliance and throw those bastards into chaos."

A Neo Marines staff officer looked up and reported:

"We've received some reliable information from our spies among the pirates.
