Chapter 555, Can You Collect the Blood Shark?
The Blood Shark Regiment suddenly appeared in the rear of the Proud Claw Star Domain and saved the three battlecruisers of the Alliance in a critical moment. It was not an accident or coincidence, but was within Gu Hang's expectations.
Just as the Blood Shark Regiment appeared from the darkness when the Purple Gold Flower Rebellion occurred 130 years ago, they also came this time.
Hearing that a rebellion had occurred in a familiar place, and the participants were still familiar people, how could the Blood Sharks not come to join in the fun?
After all, they still have a debt to settle with the Iron Armor Regiment. It just so happened that the Iron Armor Regiment rebelled, so they would be loyal to the Empire, fight for the Emperor, and eliminate the old hatred at the same time. Isn't it the best of both worlds?
They appeared from the dark outer domain and appeared in the Menghe Star Domain of the Eastern Universe.
According to their original intention, they planned to directly enter the core control area of the Iron Fury Stone to fight. They also had no idea of fighting head-on with the Iron Armor Regiment. More than a hundred years ago, they knew what the Iron Armor Regiment looked like.
In a frontal battle, the Blood Sharks, who are so poor that they don't even have enough supplies, can't withstand the consumption of a long-term battle.
Going to the front battlefield, they can't provide much help, nor can they play their strengths.
On the contrary, if they can directly enter the core control area of the Iron Armored Corps, then they can use the excellent mobility of their fleet and their most proficient fast raid combat style to plunder and attack the enemy's rear base to turn the Iron Armored Corps upside down.
In this way, the help they can provide to the main battlefield may be much greater than if they directly enter the front battlefield to fill the line.
However, sailing in the dark outer domain is not simple. Most human ships dare not enter the vast space where unknown wealth is buried. Although it is possible to find precious wealth, it is more likely that they will never come back.
Only a few people who are proficient in external development, such as some wandering merchants with development orders, are confident to carry out risky outer domain voyages.
The Blood Shark Corps is a typical group with very rich experience in outer domain navigation. After all, they have been doing this for thousands of years.
However, no matter how rich their experience is, the risks of sailing in the outer domain are always real. With their rich experience, they have also deviated from several star domains and came to the Menghe star domain.
Of course, generally speaking, this is not a big problem.
They can act covertly, driving the lost technology they have obtained from the outer domain, keeping the fleet invisible, driving all the way north along the star map until they reach the Spider Web Universe, and then they can start working.
They did just that.
However, in the Menghe star domain, their star language tower captured some war intelligence about the front battlefield.
The encrypted star language communication of the alliance military is not so easy to hear, but some exchanges between merchant ships and civilian ships can still be captured.
They have some interest in this alliance.
Can the blood sharks fight independently without dealing with anyone else?
Of course, they can even say that they are quite good at fighting like this.
After all, in the dark outer domain where there is no connection to the star tunnel, where can they find friendly forces? Isn't that always fighting alone?
However, in the outer domain environment, they often have to deal with an isolated enemy.
It is better not to run back to the empire and face such a behemoth as the Iron Armored Corps.
The Blood Shark's Corps leader thought about it and decided to get some tacit understanding and contact with this alliance.
At least, can you give us some supplies and support?
After all, we have to fight a target.
As soon as the information was connected, the units at all levels of the alliance were also able to clearly recognize the importance of this matter.
They may not know the value of the Blood Shark Corps, but after all, it involves the Space Marines.
The level of information decision-making rose rapidly and soon rose to Gu Hang.
And at the moment, it happened to be when the three battle cruisers, the Wing, the Furious Owl, and the Koroga, were ambushed and attacked.
Gu Hang directly agreed to Blood Shark's request for supplies and resources, and generously allocated a batch of very rich assets to Blood Shark.
On this basis, he directly made a request, hoping that Blood Shark could help solve the problem of the three battle cruisers being hunted down.
If there was no Blood Shark, Gu Hang was actually prepared for heavy losses. His order to Bai Qifan was to take the ships back to the heavily defended planet of Upper East Star as long as possible, and to defend as long as possible until he led the team back.
But the appearance of Blood Shark solved this problem.
The Blood Shark Regiment did not refuse Gu Hang's request, and did a pretty good job.
In the entire southern front, the alliance had to deal with, to put it bluntly, the combination of the Fury Flame Regiment and the New World Torch Regiment.
In the previous battle, the Blood Shark Regiment that unexpectedly appeared basically destroyed the New World Torch Regiment.
The Torchlight, a battle barge, suffered the heaviest losses; in addition, the destroyed cruisers also had dozens of Space Marines deployed on them. Gu Hang did not get a specific count of the losses, as well as the Space Marines who died on the Torchlight, but estimated that the number would not be less than three hundred.
This number is not much different from the real situation.
Gu Hang was very satisfied with this.
Of course, he had also heard about the bad deeds of the Blood Shark Regiment in the past. They did not treat mortals as human beings. This was actually a little unacceptable to the Alliance. After all, the Alliance is a political force ruled by mortals.
Gu Hang himself is also a mortal!
At the same time, Gu Hang would also be concerned about the tradition of the Blood Sharks' "blood tax" and "gray tax".
I am very grateful that you came to help me fight; I understand that you need compensation, and I am willing to pay. But the tradition of the Blood Sharks is that this amount is set by them and cannot be negotiated, and the collection method is also decided by them.
However, under the goal of rescuing three battle cruisers, Gu Hang at that time really didn't care so much.
But afterwards, the Blood Sharks were surprisingly easy to talk to.
When Gu Hang communicated with the regiment leader named Alma Ewing, although he could feel that the other party was very frugal with words, it was not impossible to communicate.
Gu Hang tried to discuss the "blood tax" and "gray tax" that the alliance had to pay. Although they had not yet reached an agreement, at least the other party was not completely opposed to a discussion.
This was a good start.
Gu Hang even thought further: Can we take the blood shark...?
