Chapter 1715 It's A Pirate! Let's Harass Him Then!
Their fleets were much more organised, and well-trained than the ones of this world. Not to mention there were many diverse types of spaceships in the Hescos fleet, with more capabilities like flying speed and firepower.
Yet Hye knew the ship he was using wasn't paling in comparison to the best small ships the Hescos had. As the fight was wild and crazy, all ships were moving too fast, making him unable to see anything in great detail.
If he did, he'd be surprised that many of the ships he marked as good were all like his. And if he knew that, he'd grow fanatic about hunting and hijacking them. And later on, when he'd learn about this, he'd deeply regret what he missed.
The situation kept going nicely for him, while the space pirate forces started to breathe. The moment the two forces returned to hunt each other down, the pirate ships started to pull distance, gather up, and form a large fleet.
Hye noticed this, as did tons of others. And yet no one dared to move against them as that pirate was cunning. He didn't move at once, but gathered and organised his forces near a zone, before ordering them to gather up and unite.
This made Hye open his chat with the nymph lady, and ask her about how the training was going.
[It's great! The fleet looks much better now than before!]
[Enough to go and join the war?] Hye looked at the pirate fleet before adding, "We have a new player on the table]
[Who?]
[Dunno] Hye looked again at the pirate ships and started to explain what happened to her. He also described how these ships looked, and then she instantly got what he meant.
[Wow! A space pirate is here? That's something cool!] She got hyped up, [We need to contact him, we need to do it asap!]
[For what?] he didn't get why she looked this excited about dealing with that space pirate. He now realised he pumped into another outlaw, someone who seemed to be working on a higher level than Smiggy.
[He has much more experience than us, and knows what to do, right?]
[Two thieves can't rob the same house, right?]
[Well… You mean he is going to hunt us down?]
[That's a given] Hye didn't want to ruin her sweet dreams, but he knew if he let her continue, she'd wake up in a nightmare, [Let's do our business on our own plans. And if you met his ships, don't open fire until they started it first]
[Do you mean…]
[Yes, bring it on babe, let's rock this area and rule it!] Hye laughed, [But leave behind enough warriors to train others, leave one hundred small ships, three medium-sized and one big one out there]
[Sure, wait for me, I'm coming, hahahaha! Our deal is still on, right?]
[What deal?] Hye acted ignorant, and she was on the verge of crying back there.
[I knew you were untrustworthy! Promising me something and not fulfilling it…]
[Hey hey, don't let your mouth run with such dangerous words] He had to stop her, [It's valid! Just come, I'm waiting for you here]
He closed the chat and focused again on the ongoing battle. As he was bringing his fleet here, it was better to start little trouble for that space pirate.
Hye didn't think about leading any ships towards that pirate as he hoped it was someone who could help. But it turned out it was a competitor, a fierce, dangerous, and pretty experienced foe on top of that!
But now everything has changed!
"Let's cut a few of your teeth before the competition starts," he evilly smirked, before leading his ships towards the front.
He wasn't a leader of any force here, but he grasped how to do it. All he needed to do was to go there, stir up trouble with that pirate's forces, and let them chase him with a few ships, before luring them here.
Doing this wasn't going to suffice, so he first did this with the Hescos forces first. Through this, he managed to drag the world's ships closer to the space pirate's fleet. Then started to do what he desired.
As he came upon the pirate fleet, they took him as one of those who were trying to test them. They responded the same, sending a detachment to take him down. But who knew this little ship was relatively fast and hard to hit.
Hye led them all the way toward where the world's fleets were. The pirate ships chasing him didn't feel it wrong until it was too late. And then lots of ships got destroyed.
After doing this a few more times, the space pirate ships became quite vigilant. They didn't follow him all the way toward the extensive fleet. And that made their losses stop at this point.
Hye didn't stop there though. As he saw them retreat, he returned to harass them one time after another. As he persisted, few fell into his trap and followed him out of rage.
They never returned, and that taught the pirates an important lesson. They stopped caring for Hye and focused on stopping other ships from coming to test them.
"Tsk! They are quite cautious," Hye muttered when he failed on luring any more ships, "but at least I took down many of their ships. It won't matter now, but later on, it will."
He knew he got something extra from this, he got marked by the pirates as a troublemaker. That meant they wouldn't persist in chasing him any time he'd come to harass.
And he decided to put on hold his actions until the nymph lady would bring the fleet over.
The fleet took five hours to arrive here. During this, Hye kept flying and fighting, learning more with every passing destroyed ship.
The more he watched, the more he inwardly sighed. "They are killing ships like taking down flies!" he lost count of how many ships got ruined or exploded, and how many more were added to the battlefield.
