Chapter Eight Hundred and Ninetieth IX: Heart Arsonist

The interstellar zone is an ore belt formed by disorderly interstellar ores.

This is caused by the collapse and splashing of matter after a planet exploded, and the most essential part of the planet is now in this space where the heat death has not yet dissipated. Some ores even retain the energy of the planet's explosion, showing a strange red color.

"After data analysis, this ore belt contains roughly 30% iron-rich fine gold ore, 25% mithril-rich ore, and 10% titanium-bearing ore."

"In other words, the return on our investment will be very high?"

"Miss's investment vision is really unique. Just investing the money to explode a comet once can bring a lot of income to the family. The Black Mountain family will definitely prosper under the leadership of the lady in the future, and it is expected to rank among the eight major families." The butler bowed and said, his tone full of humility.

However, the girl who was praised didn't show any smugness on her face. She looked at the mine belt in the sea of ​​stars through the porthole, and said in a calm tone: "The eight major families? You can just talk about it in private, if you say it, it will be ridiculous. Our Black Mountain family is just a small family settled in Qunxing Port. Although in the past twenty years, under the hard work of our father and uncles, our influence has been increasing day by day, and we have entered the ranks of the glory family in word of mouth and business, but we are far away from the eight major families. Don't. Progress is gratifying, but you must not lose yourself in the praise and flattery of others, and lose sight of your own position..."

The girl couldn't see any expression on her face, but this expressionless state was enough to make people feel a chill.

Fortunately, the girl's skin is dark, if she is extremely fair, the chill will only penetrate more deeply.

But what the girl said next was what really made the butler feel what it means to fall into an ice cave.

"Steward Zhou, there are three stewards in the Heishan family, do you know why I took you with me in this operation?"

Butler Zhou arched even deeper, proving his awe of the girl in front of him with practical actions.

"Although I don't know the reason, I think Miss must have a deep meaning, but I'm too dull to guess..."

"What you said just now is not only about the family, but also about you. Don't think that the family doesn't know what you are doing secretly. You didn't say it clearly because you have served the family for decades and you don't want to tear your face. Your status today is all due to your family's reputation. You used to do your best to do everything yourself, but now with your family's reputation, your little thoughts will rise."

The girl stretched out her hand and lifted Steward Zhou's chin, her eyes were black and bright, as if she could see through Steward Zhou directly.

"simply put,

You have crossed the line! "

"Restrain your behavior, the family knows your hard work, so most of the time they will turn a blind eye, but don't go too far, you know?" The girl said word by word.

Steward Zhou was trembling all over, his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and the silence made him unable to breathe.

The other family members in the main control room watched and pretended not to hear.

After a long time, Steward Zhou asked tremblingly: "Miss, is this what you mean, or the family..."

The girl looked down at the butler, with no expression of sadness or joy. She sat on the seat and raised her legs, which were even tighter and slender under the cover of the combat uniform.

The toe of the shoe swayed in front of Steward Zhou. If you change to an lsp, you will definitely like the current "sacred light perspective".

But at this moment, Butler Zhou felt an invisible pressure, even worse than what he had just now.

The tip of the girl's shoe lifted Steward Zhou's chin, and with a little force, she raised Steward Zhou's face and looked directly at him.

Butler Zhou's eyes were full of panic and panic, as if he was not facing a family lady, but a demon from Gaowei!

"Is there any difference between what I mean and what the family means?"

Steward Zhou didn't dare to meet the lady's sharp eyes, and wanted to lower his head, but found that there was a force in his chin, and the toe of the lady's shoe was firmly pressed against him, preventing him from bowing his head.

"I know, I will dismiss my subordinates after I go back, and donate all the illegal income of these years to the family..." Butler Zhou was in mourning, but he knew that his power came from the family. If he was kicked out of the family like a dog , then he has no power in Port of Stars, and his survival may be a problem.

"The family doesn't need to pursue the matter in the past, but from now on, if they use the name of the family to collect money outside, the Black Mountain family doesn't mind changing to another housekeeper."

"If you don't have the blessing of the Montenegro family, the promises you made outside and the benefits you received will become a dead letter. Those people who feel cheated and angry, what will they do? I think you know better than me. clear."

Steward Zhou's eyes were terrified, as if he had already thought of his end, he nodded repeatedly to show that he remembered.

"Okay, let's start the engineering work now." The toe of the girl's shoe tilted slightly, and Steward Zhou suddenly felt that the "knife" in his throat was removed, and he could breathe unobstructed.

It wasn't until this moment that Steward Zhou felt his heart beating wildly, as if a person who had nearly drowned was gasping for breath after landing on the shore.

Steward Zhou got up from the ground, his clothes were soaked, and his whole body seemed to collapse.

He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Butler Zhou gradually recovered his expression and directed the family's engineering ship to dig ore as if nothing happened.

A mining ship was driven out of the engineering ship, and the large ore near the ore belt, with the fire of excavation and cutting, pieces of ore of appropriate size were collected into the mining ship.

Although the universe is full of planets and rich in minerals, with the expansion of civilization forces, many large mines have become the possessions of large companies and powerful forces. They only need to leak some petty profits to make small families and small forces Eat a lot.

The Black Mountain family is just blasting a comet, while the eight major families and several big companies in Qunxinggang are the masters who directly detonated the planet~

The mining work was in full swing, knocking on Steward Zhou, and the dark girl was very satisfied with her first trip alone.

As the successor cultivated by the Montenegro family, the girl has been with her father and uncle since she was a child, learning how to run the family and how to be a family helm.

In the small and medium family alliance in Qunxinggang, the girl is also one of the more outstanding ones among the younger generation.

The Montenegro family has high hopes for the girl. This time, the detonation of the comet and the mining of minerals are done deliberately by the family, in order to cultivate the girl's "actual combat" ability.

Now the mineral content is so good, after returning with a full load, it will definitely be another good talk.

It's not a big deal for the girl's fame to increase, the key is that as the next helm of the Black Mountain family, the more brilliant the girl is doing now, the brighter the future of the Black Mountain family will be.

And who can refuse the cooperation of a thriving and promising Qunxinggang family?

The engineering ship is located in the center, and several mining ships in the ore belt in the distance are working non-stop. Next to the engineering ship, there are two Tranquility-class frigates and a Ceres destroyer, and dozens of Harrier-class warships lined up beside them. From a distance, it looks like "Strangers do not enter".

Any small family here can control the resources of several star systems, or even galaxies.

With such excellent resources, in Port of Stars where there are many powerful people and family forces are rampant,

The girl gazed into the distance from the porthole, her eyes full of confidence.

The rise of the Black Mountain family was born from her hands, and the pleasure brought by this rise is indescribable.

At this moment, the operator of the main console suddenly looked up, with panic in his eyes: "Miss, there is a fleet coming towards us in the distance, and it has directly entered the targeting combat mode, and we are locked!"

The girl's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and she turned her head and asked, "Did you tell me, the Black Mountain family is here to work, and the idlers wait around! Also, what is the identity of the opposite party?"

Once the operator operated, at the same time, the girl clicked on the main control system and cut into the screen.

The hull of the ship was enlarged, and there were two clenched fists and a mark on a small half of the forearm impressively printed on the outer body of the fleet.

"United Mining!" The girl Xia frowned.

If it was someone else, it would be fine, they could be expelled through negotiation and identification. But once United Mining came over, I'm afraid this matter would be difficult to end well.

Xia sat on the seat and said without doubt: "Send them a message on the public channel, tell them that this mine belt belongs to the Heishan family, let them stay away! Otherwise, it will be regarded as an invasion, and the Heishan family will fully resist!"

Xia glanced at the data on the reconnaissance system. United Mining had two engineering ships, one Yueshen destroyer, three Jinghai-class frigates, and twenty Harrier-class ships.

In terms of strength on paper, the two sides are about the same. The Montenegro family has one less frigate, but the Ceres destroyer is an all-around main battle, which is stronger than the main defense of United Mining, the God Star. In terms of Harrier-class ships, the Black Mountain family has twice as many ships as the other party! Taken together, it can be described as "evenly matched".

The subordinates of the Heishan family sent the eldest lady's will to the public channel through transmission signals.

At this time, everyone on the scene held their breath and waited for the reply of United Mining.

The reason why Xia made this decision was also to weigh the strength and combat effectiveness of both sides.

United Mining is also a small and medium-sized enterprise in Qunxing Port, which was jointly formed by individual mine owners in Qunxing Port. Every year, these individual mine owners will pay part of their income as the operating funds of the enterprise, and at the same time use these funds to operate their own fighting force to escort the members of the enterprise.

The Montenegro family is a small and medium-sized family, and the strength of both parties is basically on the same level.

That being the case, he couldn't shrink back in the face of United Mining. He represented the family, and he would not give an inch in front of the family's interests.

But soon, United Mining sent a message on the public channel.

[Heishan family, please leave the area to be mined by United Mining immediately! The place you are in belongs to the land leased by United Mining, and all resources on the land belong to the legal property of United Mining. If we do not evacuate immediately, we will resort to force! 】

At the same time, there was another document.

After checking it, Xia found that it was a mining lease contract from 150 years ago.

At that time, there were some minerals in this area, which were contracted by United Mining. But after ten years of development, United Mining has collected all the free space ores here. After that, it becomes a passable road.

Now, as soon as I exploded the comet on the front foot and prepared to mine it, the people from United Mining followed suit.

Xia looked up at Steward Zhou next to him, and asked, "Did you tip off United Mining?"

Steward Zhou waved his hands again and again, with a panicked expression, and explained: "I have absolutely no contact with United Mining. This matter has nothing to do with me. I hope the lady will learn from it!"

"Well, it's fine if it's not you."

Xia didn't say anything else, she just spoke to cheat Steward Zhou.

He is a fool and a wise man.

If it was he who tipped off the news, then he would not have chosen to come out together this trip, and would have found various reasons to escape.

After all, in the current situation, I only need to insist that United Mining has a connection with Steward Zhou, and I can execute the other party, which is too risky.

Moreover, this time the comet was detonated, and many people knew the news back and forth, and any link was possible.

Don't think about these, Xia, since both parties are unwilling to back down, there is only one way

Go to war!

Xia personally cut into the authority and said in the public channel: "This contract of yours is just a mining contract. However, the minerals here have been fully mined more than a hundred years ago, and the contract is automatically terminated. The detonation of the comet is my Montenegro family. We should also take the benefits. Since you are aggressive, let's see the truth!"

With a wave of Xia's hand, all the ships except the engineering ship entered the combat state.

The warships of both sides quickly formed into an attack mode.

Mainly destroyers and frigates, Harrier-class fighters formed a battle formation on the outermost periphery, ready to seize the loopholes and opportunities and wait for opportunities.

The defensive shields of both sides are fully opened, and the battle is imminent.

Steward Zhou scrambled to the side, with a nervous expression, and asked, "Miss, do you want to contact the Patriarch urgently?"

Xia casually refused.

The two sides are evenly matched, if this matter has to trouble my father, how will others think of her?

Although it was the first time for Xia to go out to lead the army alone, it was also the first time to encounter a real battle.

However, no fear can be seen from the girl's expression, her face is calm and composed, and she is staring out of the porthole ahead.

Back at home, Xia had done a lot of training and exercise.

Even command operations have achieved excellent results in scenario simulation and sand table deduction. He is well aware of the family industry and military status of the Montenegro family.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl can be unanimously elected as the heir of the family, which shows that her strength has definitely won the approval of all the elders.

Xia stared at the holographic screen, retrieved various data, and commanded: "Our destroyer has a longer range than the opponent. When it enters the attack range, it will attack first. At the same time, the Harrier-class warship is divided into two groups, harassing from the left and right. It is best to use The same number of Harrier-class warships pinned down the opponent's warships, and the remaining Harrier-class fighters harassed one of the frigates. The three main battleships of our side adopted the defensive combat module and opened the area defense! My goal is only one, first put the opponent Lie into the range, use defense against defense, wait for the opponent to form an array, quickly transform into a dynamic advantage, and destroy the opponent's three Jinghai-class frigates first!"

Xia thought clearly and articulately.

The news of the battle quickly spread throughout the battleship. All family members are on standby.

As soon as United Mining's ship came into attack range, the firepower on the destroyer began to pour out.

Ceres is all-around combat, both offensive and defensive are commendable. On the contrary, the God-seeking star on the opposite side is the main defensive destroyer. Its weapons and equipment on the combat side are lacklustre, and it can only carry out destroyer-level laser rays and artillery attacks.

Although the protective shield is thick, its action is also much weaker than that of the Ceres star.

Xia Yi started to fight using the defensive formation that the opponent was good at, and made it clear that he wanted to fight the opponent in a positional battle.

However, this is just an introduction.

After the two sides fought, although United Mining gained a little advantage, it soon discovered that something was wrong.

After a wave of confrontation, the two sides opened up and completely entered the opponent's range. At this time, Ceres of the Montenegro family took the initiative to launch an attack, taking advantage of speed and began to swim around the battlefield. The main target was the three Jinghai-class frigates.

The two sides swore to the death that frigates were destroyed in battle one after another, and the burst of flames turned the portholes into fiery red. Garbage and debris from the battle floated in space, glowing in the light of distant stars.

The arcs of lasers and cannons weaving and swaying in the universe look spectacular.

Steward Zhou came to the eldest lady again, and said almost in tears: "Miss, we have very little shield left, let's retreat now! If you really have any troubles, how should I explain to the Patriarch when I go back?" ?”

Unexpectedly, Xia decisively rejected Zhou Steward's proposal.

"The opponent's shields are running low, and two frigates have been lost. All of our Harrier-class warships have been wiped out, and the battle has reached a fever pitch. If we retreat now, we will lose everything, not to mention that we are currently in the upper hand. As long as we continue If it continues, they will definitely not be able to afford to retreat! As long as this area can be successfully mined, the current loss is not a loss. What's more, even if we fight to the end, both sides will definitely maintain the bottom line, and it is absolutely impossible to wipe out us together... "

"Unless United Mining does not intend to hang out in Qunxing Port, it will never dare to break the agreement and deal a fatal blow to the family power!"

"Listen to my order now, Ceres is moving forward at full speed, and all firepower is aimed at the frigate. Let's cover the frigate and force the opponent to submit!"

At such a time of life and death, Xia was still able to give orders calmly. It is indeed the top heir cultivated by the Black Mountain family.

Seeing that there was no hope of retreat, Steward Zhou gritted his teeth after a while, and ran to the back of the spaceship to prepare for the escape cabin.

Although the eldest lady said so, as a housekeeper, he still had to be prepared just in case.

Now that the combat losses of both sides have reached an order of magnitude, no one will retreat easily. Whether the destroyer can be kept is still unknown, but plan ahead and prepare the escape pod in advance.

Just when United Mining and the Montenegro Clan became red-eyed, there is another faction hiding in the dark in this star field at this moment, watching the combat power of both sides gradually deplete and be scrapped...

The red-haired man smiled, not to mention how happy he was.

Shaved a handful of hair with both hands, and smoothed his big back head.

"Hey, now there are only destroyers and one frigate left on both sides, and the Harrier class ships have completely withdrawn from the battle ranks. Only the main battleship is left, and the two sides are still not giving up? This woman from the Black Mountain family is really bloody~"

"Boss, when shall we make a move?" the subordinates on the side asked excitedly.

"Don't panic, don't panic, we don't dare to take the destroyer. Even if we want it, it's not easy to get it back to Port of Stars."

"Besides, how much is a mere destroyer worth? On one side is the future head of the Black Mountain family, and on the other side is a committee member of the United Mining Industry. Wouldn't it be flattering to tie these two people up and ask for money directly?"

The younger brother rolled his eyes, and immediately thought about it: "Then let's wait until their main battleship explodes before doing anything! When one side loses miserably and the other narrowly wins, we can control the battlefield without bloodshed!"

The red-haired man smiled, and then his face suddenly became gloomy. He slapped his hand on the back of the head, making a bang bang and crisp sound, and said seriously: "Look at what you said! According to the character of that black girl, I'm afraid I'm going to drive a destroyer directly." Go ahead, don't say it's a meat ticket, I'm afraid you can send the ashes back directly."

"Young man, I'm used to listening to Qunxinggang's flattery. It's really easy to take yourself seriously. Fortunately, I met you this time, so I can teach her a truth without hurting her life. You said that in the universe How can there be such a good thing? If I hadn't met me this time, it would have been impossible for this black girl to escape if it were anyone else."

The subordinates also let out a strange laugh.

His own boss is shameless enough, obviously he told the news to United Mining and created a power struggle with his own hands. Now it is so sanctimonious, it is really full of hypocrites~

The red-haired man was still happily staring at the screen sent back by the released small reconnaissance plane, but suddenly got up, his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "No, this black girl is going to be stupid! This farce should be over, Now it's time for the incarnation of justice to appear!"

As soon as the words fell, the ship hiding under the planetary belt not far away knocked away the ice crystals and gravel on the planetary belt, and jumped up!

The modified destroyer is extremely fast, and its weapons and firepower are also exceptionally abundant. It is still rampant on the battlefield amidst the wreckage.

And on this destroyer, there was a huge red heart printed on it.

There is a line of words printed in Universal Language next to it

Arsonist of Hearts.
