Destroyed?
That statement was a bit too exaggerated, wasn't it?
You have to understand that the personnel transported by these Interstellar Transport Ships are all either rich or powerful!
Although most of them are just ordinary families and merchants, few have noble titles.
But such a force cannot be underestimated!
This Female Captain actually dared to threaten to directly open fire and destroy them.
She must be bluffing, right?
Most people believed that the other party's words were a bluff, trying to deceive them.
"Ridiculous! I refuse to believe you dare to disregard human lives.
You want to save people, but are our lives not human lives?!" the merchant surnamed Gao retorted.
The Female Captain said indifferently, "According to our system statistics, this Starport is currently within a safe range; it will not be attacked by the Interstellar Insectoids for at least half a month.
Moreover, transporting you people doesn't require so many Interstellar Transport Ships; a few T2 Interstellar Transport Ships would be enough.
Of course, this doesn't include taking away your so-called collections and valuables."
"Enough! I will not let you requisition all my Interstellar Transport Ships! I will report your actions to the Starlight Empire!" the merchant surnamed Gao said angrily.
"Then it seems we don't need to waste any more time," the Female Captain said impolitely, directly hanging up the communication.
The merchant surnamed Gao looked mockingly at the people around him, saying confidently, "I just don't believe they really dare to attack my Interstellar Transport Ship!"
Just then, under everyone's watchful eyes,
the secondary cannons of the three T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruisers began to lock onto an Interstellar Transport Ship.
"Captain, are we really going to open fire?" the Executive Officer asked with some concern.
The Female Captain said calmly, "Commander Zhao Chen said that when necessary, one must be decisive. Now we must show some real methods, otherwise they won't honestly let us take these Interstellar Transport Ships.
Prepare to destroy an Interstellar Transport Ship."
"Which Interstellar Transport Ship should we hit?" the Executive Officer inquired.
The Female Captain looked at the data in front of her, which contained information on the Interstellar Transport Ships docked there and their registered details.
Finally, she pointed to a T2 Interstellar Transport Ship.
"This one. It's entirely loaded with the luxury goods and family assets of those noble merchants.
Before firing, issue a public announcement to the crew on this T2 Interstellar Transport Ship, warning them to immediately take a shuttle and leave the Starship; we will open fire on their ship in thirty seconds!
If they don't evacuate, they will bear the consequences."
The Female Captain's arrangement was already as benevolent as could be.
"Why this one?" the Executive Officer asked, somewhat curious.
With so many Interstellar Transport Ships, why choose this particular one?
"Because it's too ugly," the Female Captain said unceremoniously.
The Executive Officer was speechless.
Thirty seconds passed quickly.
Five medium pulse laser secondary cannons immediately fired at the somewhat ugly T2 Interstellar Transport Ship, and five pulse lasers struck the hull of the T2 Interstellar Transport Ship.
In an instant, this T2 Interstellar Transport Ship suffered multiple hits and severe damage, with the risk of explosion at any moment.
Inside the Starport,
everyone was stunned by what they saw.
They never expected that the Starship of the Xiaolong Fleet would actually dare to open fire!
Watching the burning Interstellar Transport Ship, with explosions constantly occurring at various parts of its hull, the crew on board had already begun to evacuate.
Originally, the crew on such an Interstellar Transport Ship were not many, and the T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser had only used its secondary cannons.
Let alone using the bow cannon, even if only the main cannons were used, these Interstellar Transport Ships would probably have exploded directly long ago.
After half a minute, the Interstellar Transport Ship finally couldn't withstand it and exploded.
Fortunately, by then, the crew on board had already evacuated.
Just then, an announcement was received by everyone in the Starport.
"This is just a warning. Please evacuate all irrelevant personnel from the ships and unload all irrelevant items within ten minutes. Otherwise, the fate will be the same as this Interstellar Transport Ship."
Facing this warning again, everyone's hair stood on end, and they no longer dared to take it lightly.
Because the Female Captain showed with her actions that they were not joking.
The wealthy merchant surnamed Gao's forehead was covered in sweat. He looked painfully at the destroyed T2 Interstellar Transport Ship; although there were no casualties, the losses of the items on board...
Combined, their value was estimated to be nearly a million star coins.
If those cargo owners demanded compensation, he would suffer significant losses.
The wealthy merchant surnamed Gao contacted the Female Captain again. When the video window appeared, he hastily said, "Um... I am willing to arrange half of the Interstellar Transport Ships to cooperate with you."
"It's all of them," the Female Captain said unequivocally.
The wealthy merchant surnamed Gao swallowed, "All of them is fine... but the cargo on our Interstellar Transport Ships cannot be unloaded within ten minutes!"
"Under normal circumstances, the cargo indeed cannot be unloaded within ten minutes, but personnel can completely board a shuttle and enter the Starport within ten minutes.
As for the cargo on the Interstellar Transport Ships that cannot be unloaded, it will all be directly discarded into space," the Female Captain said unceremoniously.
They had already calculated these time data.
"All... discarded... The losses..." The wealthy merchant surnamed Gao gasped.
"If these Interstellar Transport Ships of yours were transporting civilians before, even if it was only seventy to eighty percent, I could accept it.
But at a time like this, you actually choose to load these inanimate objects and abandon the lives of millions of civilians." The Female Captain snorted coldly, not hiding her disdain.
"This is my last communication with you. When the time is up, if the handover work has not been completed, we will take our own measures."
With that, the communication window closed.
The wealthy merchant surnamed Gao clenched his fists in anger: "These damned guys! Robbers! Bandits! Xiaolong Fleet... I will definitely sue you!"
At this moment, he had no other choice.
To preserve these Interstellar Transport Ships, he could only honestly let the personnel on board evacuate. As for those items, rather than letting the other party discard them, he would do it himself.
That way, he could also find a way to make those luxury goods float in space, awaiting later recovery, minimizing losses.
When the ten minutes were up,
those Interstellar Transport Ships sailed one after another to the designated positions on the sides of the three T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruisers.
Finally, they followed the three T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruisers through the Star Gate, heading to where they needed to go.
The wealthy merchant surnamed Gao at this moment received a large number of messages from powerful figures, all without exception from those wealthy merchants and powerful individuals who had been forced off the Interstellar Warship, demanding an explanation from the wealthy merchant surnamed Gao.
The people around, seeing this situation, gloated.
Although they also suffered some losses, the losses were not significant.
This wealthy merchant surnamed Gao, in his attempt to profit from this 'national crisis,' was now very likely to lose all his family fortune.
"Xiaolong Fleet! Zhao Chen... I will never rest until I have my revenge!" The wealthy merchant surnamed Gao said this, so angry that he directly spat out blood.
