48. The Birth of the Dark Empire (4)

Red Blade Latica was going insane. Communication from Single-eyed Noct’s fleet was suddenly cut off, and the Pirates Union was set ablaze with rage. Convinced that the Delox Empire or the Lainez Kingdom intervened, Latica resolved herself destroy their enemies, whoever they were.

She snorted when she first encountered the assholes called themselves the Dark Empire, finding it ridiculous that they dared venture near the Pirates Union base. Their battleships were indeed quite powerful, that much was obvious at a glance, but there were only three of them. They didn’t know their place.

However, it didn’t take long for her wrath to turn cold.

“Kugh! What the hell was that?!”

Latica punched the floor, having barely crawled out of the escape craft. Her white skin was stained with ash and blood. This was a nightmare turned reality. In a single attack, the mothership supporting the Pirates Union was destroyed, and several of their battleships. But it didn’t end there.

‘That humanoid robot…’

She heard about it from an informant planted in the Lainez Kingdom. According to their intel, the new weapon they were developing in secret was a humanoid robot. Moreover, based on the data they obtained, it certainly seemed to hold tremendous power if it were operated strategically. However, the one before her had a black fuselage, which was different from the reports.
