The dragon cavalry controlled Yifan's venom dragon's "Death Claw" to leave the spaceship in an elegant gliding posture, and left the range of the artificial gravity field, flying all the way into a wide entrance.
There are no docks here, only towers and palaces. High sails and wide wings float in the vacuum, surrounding the globular clusters of star floating in nothingness, while many spirit bone turrets rotate slowly around them, and in the center is a huge fortress made up of many spires, part of which is connected by sealed corridors, and various turrets in the middle spread around like fungi.
There are four huge entrances and exits on the surface of the spire shelter, the brightly lit interior is vaguely visible through the gap, and a group of ships are entering and exiting there.
This ancient stronghold, called Dragon's Nest, is about the size of a conventional satellite, drifting around the periphery of an unknown galaxy, leisurely orbiting a dying star. The long sun flag extends from the surface of the shelter to the ether, capturing particles from the solar wind. This typical energy device of the spiritual race is often accompanied by the buzzing sound of psychic energy, and is scattered in the quiet void.
The collected energy will pass through a rough, modified eternal circuit - a combination of soul stone technology from the Ark world and the engineering of the Comorians, which is enough to maintain a weak protective field to resist the invasion of demons, allowing the pirates who attack it to escape from the occult gaze of "His desire".
Ivan was not alone. Behind him were eighteen knights who also drove the pterosaurs. These pterosaurs were professionally cultivated by the druids and became even bigger, fierce and strong, and could fly in the void. Emerald raised scales could withstand various laser and crystal weapons. Under the escort of the flying dragon, there was a golden airship, with Golden Feather Guards and several Eternal Maids standing on the boat. The maids were wearing gorgeous armor, golden crowns, white cloaks, and flags. They were messengers of the Eternal Queen to convey the Queen's will.
They came on a ship, a small ship, which was very fast and could hide, but even so they were attacked by the Black Heart Conspiracy Team fleet when approaching the Dragon Nest. However, since they were already very close to the Dragon Nest at that time, it seemed that these Comoros residents did not intend to really turn against the Void Dragon Pirates, and in the end they did not continue to pursue.
The reason why the royal court sent an envoy for the second time was very simple.
According to Kelis Canelli's report, the conflict within the Void Dragon Pirates was about to reach the critical point. It turned out that the Salanian princess still wanted to solve the problem by herself without using the power of the royal court and preserve the foundation her father passed on to her. Therefore, she chose to secretly send someone to contact Victor, hoping that the other party could stop. She was willing to spend money to buy peace and ensure that the Void Dragon would remain completely neutral in the future.
But who is Victor?
Salania's actions instead exposed her weakness and ability. Victor directly "increased the dose". Not long after Salania sent an envoy, several old subordinates loyal to Salania in the Void Dragon Pirate Corps were assassinated and killed.
The angry Salanya immediately found the assassinator, who were also several veterans in the regiment, so he killed them. However, due to insufficient preparation, two of them escaped, and took more than a dozen ships and joined the fleet of the Black Heart Conspiracy Group.
But this did not solve the problem, but made the contradiction completely public. Some pirates chose to leave because they did not want to get involved in the battle between the royal court and Comoros. The Black Heart Conspiracy Group did not make things difficult for them. Other pirates who were not in the dragon's nest but were active outside also announced their escape from the Void Dragon, resulting in nearly 300 captains of this ancient spirit pirate organization leaving in just ten days.
This is Victor's biggest plot. As the largest pirate group today, most captains are generally active outside, but if war starts directly, these captains will likely return to defend their organization.
Therefore, it is much easier for him to first divide the peripheral forces of the Void Dragon Pirates, so that those pirates who are active outside choose to stand by or leave, and then eat the headquarters of the Void Dragon Pirates.
Due to this series of bad decisions, Salania's prestige within the Pirates has plummeted, and more and more people doubt her ability. Some people have publicly expressed their hope that she can abdicate and give way to the virtuous, so that more capable people can lead the Pirates out of the predicament.
Of course, so far no one has shouted the slogan of surrender to Victor, which is also the smartest thing about Victor.
He never expressed his intention to possess the Void Dragon Pirates. Instead, he put forward the "slogan of freedom", claiming that the Spirit race is a free race, with the freedom to live according to his preferences, the freedom to navigate among the stars, and the freedom to plunder lower races. However, the Eternal Court wanted to deprive these freedoms, which was completely an dictatorial evil regime. His troops were actually to defend the "free pirates."
Although it is indeed a bit funny to Victor, what pirates need is this attitude. They do not want to be involved in the struggle of the regime, but they do not want to be included in the "King Law". Many people are free from their pursuit from the ark. Although the royal court also claimed that there would not be very strict precepts, it is also a fact that prohibited armed plunder of non-hostile races.
Under this situation, Salania's situation became very difficult, so the only thing she could do was to hold the royal court tightly, hoping to stabilize the situation. After another attempt, the situation could be said to be changing rapidly.
However, Kelis Canelli's previous visit was only representing the Privy Council, and his authority was not very strong. After making the deployment, Soshiyan sent another team of envoys according to the situation. This time, he would directly convey the meaning of the royal court and "stand up" to Salania.
But the real mission is to stabilize the Void Dragon Pirates.
After all, it is never themselves that can determine their destiny, but the upcoming battle.
After some time, the messenger team entered the inside of the dragon's nest. During this period, Yifan carefully observed the surrounding environment. Occasionally, several small boats flew through the void, but most of the Adas here were like them, either riding in a single shuttle boat or gliding in gravity suits.
After entering this area, you can see cruisers, frigates and other floating ships moored near the spire as soon as you look up. Since the movements of the Spiritual Pirates often range from single digits to fifty or sixty, they tend to use small ships, such as Veratrhea-class, Aconite-class, which may be about the same size as patrol ships in the empire according to tonnage, or smaller hunter-class. This is a miniature ship with a length of only two or three hundred meters. It is very fast and its firepower is not strong. It only takes a few people to drive. It can even perform jump-to-raid missions. It is the most commonly used weapon for the pirate war gang to attack merchant fleets and the main force of the huge fleet of the Void Dragon Pirates.
