Chapter 1019: Chapter 551, The Space ‘Blood Shark’_2
The Interstellar Warriors of the Blood Sharks are generally very reticent, cautious, and vigilant. However, in battle, they exhibit a noticeable transformation, displaying an extrely bloodthirsty violent outburst, madly cutting down or blowing up their enemies.
The commanders issue orders through an encrypted and locked radio network, speaking neither to the enemy nor allies in battle, except under extre necessity.
This silence contrasts starkly with their frenzied style of hacking enemies apart, often dismbering and slashing bodies on the spot, with blood splattering everywhere. They even do this without any venting screams, just silently chopping away, axe by axe.
A strange silence.
With the help of this elusive and adept-at-surprise-attacks battle group, the situation once maintained by the Three Bougainvillea Regints was broken in an instant.
The sudden attack stunned the three regints.
They had never encountered such a battle group and enemy, nor had they received intelligence about another regint. In several surprise attacks, the Blood Sharks achieved significant results.
Each ti they punched a hole in the line, the Iron Rage Stone Regints would pour in with superior forces.
After several similar battle situations, the Three Bougainvillea Regints collapsed and inevitably surrendered.
This also rendered the Phoenix Legion’s political efforts futile.
The target they wanted to rescue was beyond salvation.
Overall, the main factor in collapsing the Three Bougainvillea Regints on the frontal battlefield was certainly the absolute superiority in numbers of the Iron Rage Stone Regints. Their forces were almost more than four tis that of the Three Bougainvillea Regints.
However, no one can ignore the special role played by the Blood Shark Battle Group in this.
What particularly leaves an impression is their bloody and ruthless fighting style.
Many battle groups are indifferent to the lives and deaths of mortals, be they enemies, allies, or civilians. But even among Interstellar Warriors, the Blood Sharks stand out in this aspect. In their pursuit of military objectives, they repeatedly show a thorough disregard for the casualties of civilians affected. They wouldn’t even lend a hand to help effortlessly, and if wounded civilians lay on their path, they wouldn’t slow their pace—stepping on them was no big deal.
This point is quite controversial.
Later on, scholars on Holy Terra, after deeply researching so historical docunts, found so references to the Blood Sharks from ancient war examples—stories resembling myths, epics, ancient operas, and fables.
There’s nothing with them as the protagonist, but in so story backdrops, it’s ntioned that about four thousand years ago, a battle group nad ‘Blood Sharks’ was ford. They were sent to a Cosmos Domain without a Star Realm Tunnel connection, unable to directly use Star Language to communicate, engaging in endless voyages, slaughtering enemies of mankind. They showed no rcy to traitors, aliens, and renegades, uprooting them from their own territories.
Of course, there would occasionally be reports about them on the border Star Sectors of the Empire, but none were significant, so the lords on Holy Terra overlooked them.
Although the source of these docunts lacks credibility, none are official historical records. Yet, in these nearly contemporaneous, isolated works, ntioning the sa matter and giving consistent descriptions on certain details of imagery and battle group actions—for instance, all ntioning the Man-Eating Shark Battle Group demonstrating a ferocious yet ticulously planned ruthless behavior, along with similar statents on their foundation and mission assignnts…
All these elents align with the Blood Shark Battle Group’s performance in the Bougainvillea Rebellion, making the credibility reasonable from this perspective.
Considering the span of thousands of years, missing a record or two isn’t unusual for the Empire’s lost historical records.
Thus, the Empire later basically acknowledged the Blood Shark Battle Group.
However, in the latter stages of the Bougainvillea Rebellion, when the war was nearly ended, conflicts erupted between the Blood Sharks and the Iron Armor Battle Group.
The Blood Shark Battle Group: cruel, bloodthirsty, cold…but very poor.
This is understandable, as a ‘Expeditionary Battle Group’, and a Ship-Based Battle Group, without a Recruitnt World, with no fixed inco, wandering continuously in the known universe, beyond the Imperial Territory, embarking on endless expeditions and voyages—how could they not be poor?
Moreover, they are peculiarly poor.
Evident in their lack of ordinary equipnt, even ammunition supplies, and few servants in the group, Mortal Auxiliary Army, but oddly equipped with quite a lot of advanced gear. Even their Power Armor models are a ss, so new, but mostly varied and ancient models, with extrely disunified styles.
The battle group collects the necessary equipnt through ‘Grey Tax’, or by exchanging technological relics found in the outer domain with the Sect of chanics or other industrial worlds for the needed equipnt and ammunition.
The battle group supplents manpower and Mortal Auxiliary Army and servants through ‘Red Tax’, essentially drafting from planets. The group has consistently been rather poor, and their warriors’ armor is always pieced together.
After fighting for the Iron Armor Battle Group, the Blood Sharks naturally demanded ‘Grey Tax’ and ‘Blood Tax’.
Initially, Iron Armor was willing to give.
Given their battle rits, why not just pay?
However, the Blood Sharks have their own rules. They collect money based on the proportion of planets conquered.
The numbers seed a bit high, exceeding Iron Armor’s expectations.
Iron Armor attempted to negotiate, but the Blood Sharks did not understand what negotiation was. This wasn’t compensation, nor a transaction—it was ‘tax’.
Does collecting tax require negotiation?
No need to hire anyone for tax collection, just do it yourself.
Seizing equipnt, looting spoils of war, grabbing people, directly conscripting a large population on so Iron Armor valued planets, conducting new recruit selection activities with particularly high mortality rates…
Iron Armor was infuriated, leading to clashes between both sides.
Ultimately, the Blood Sharks retreated back to the darkness with a batch of tax collection that was unsatisfactory in amount to them.
…
In the hundred and thirty years following the Bougainvillea Rebellion, the frequency of the Blood Shark Battle Group’s appearances seed to gradually increase. But it might also be due to their newfound fa drawing more attention and concern.
They still operate at their own discretion, undertaking activities in outer domains, occasionally appearing within the Imperial Territory, with unpredictable movents. They trade a little with different Sect of chanics, collect so Blood Tax in various worlds, all while causing trouble for their old foe Iron Armor.
After the Princess Rebellion erupted six years ago, the Iron Armor Battle Group has been on the alert, cautiously watching if this formidable, cruel enemy with whom they have grievances would erge as a foe.
But over the past six years, they haven’t made any moves.
Until today.
The unlucky one, however, was not Iron Armor but the Torch from the New World.
The Torch Fla, boarded by Blood Sharks. As the flagship of the battle group, the ship carried four hundred New World Torch warriors. Using so kind of unstoppable, even unpredicted Psychic Transmission Technology, the boarding Blood Sharks swiftly assaulted multiple key parts of the ship.
For a mont, Wang ngsong couldn’t even figure out how many boarding Blood Sharks there were on his ship!
Before he could concentrate forces to besiege and exterminate these boarders, several firepower centers of the ship, artillery locations, and ship control nodes were attacked. Those places soon fell silent, either lost or blown up from within.
This is precisely why the entire Torch Fla was half-paralyzed shortly after the fight began.
Nevertheless, the ship was not destroyed, and the main force of the Torch Warriors was still on board.
However, as ti passed, the situation gradually eased.
Wang ngsong urgently redeployed forces; with the Auxiliary Army and Interstellar Warriors on board besieging and intercepting, they roughly divided the boarding Blood Sharks into five or six areas.
But then again, it’s hard to say if the Blood Sharks were forcibly divided into five or six squads, or if this was their original organizational state.
Especially concerning is a Blood Sharks squad ‘isolated’ near the core engine room, which poses a particular worry.
If they carry so high-energy bombs and detonate them in the core engine room, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Wang ngsong personally led a team to eliminate them.
