Can My Battleship Be Upgraded?

In the previous life, when the baron could not gain the approval of the vassals of the barony, and because of Wang Dong's relationship, the baron received strong ill will from the earldom of Tianfang and the forces of the Jin family, the baron never changed his mind.

The baroness appealed to the family behind her for help.

The head of the Shi family resolutely decided to bring the Highland Viscounty into the game.

This was not a betrayal of the Baron himself.

The Highland Viscounty and the Blackstone Barony have not broken up and are officially hostile. Although there are secret frictions between the two sides, they have a tacit understanding to limit the intensity below a certain level.

Previously, what Zheng Yan and others heard about "the signing of the "Limited Open Trade Agreement" between the Blackstone Barony and the Highland Viscounty" was a manifestation of this tacit understanding.

At that time, the relationship between the family behind the Baroness and the Highland Viscounty was similar to cooperation.

Behind the scenes, the Viscount of the Highlands consolidated the position of the family behind the Baroness and provided some indirect help, while the Baroness promoted some policies of the Barony of Blackstone and met a small number of the Viscount of the Highlands' demands.

But for Wang Dong, the baroness is an obstacle that must be overcome.

Regarding the illegitimate child, the Baroness would not care about her relationship with the Baron himself.

Like this time, Chen Shayi's fleet 287, which was escorting Wang Dong back to the Baron's Mansion, was attacked. "The news is that the Countess revealed it to the family behind her.

The Baroness may not necessarily have had direct ill will.

But the family behind her spread the news intentionally or unintentionally, and it was known to the Highland Viscounty. The Highland Viscounty then used its power and influence to find the Star Thief Group to ambush her.

In addition, the Highland Viscounty also secretly dispatched a fire warship to engage in a front and rear pincer attack with the Star Thief Group.

The purpose is naturally to kill Wang Dong.

Needless to say, the Baroness's motivation was simply to complain to the family behind her.

It’s hard to say what the motive of the family behind the Baroness is. Perhaps they want to use this method to bring Wang Dong, who suddenly entered the situation, to the forefront.

The Highland Viscounty hopes that the heir struggle in the Blackstone Barony will become more chaotic without any lower limit.

But the final result was that Wang Dong's life was threatened.

I took out this small notebook and wrote down this account.

While the two were talking, Chen Shayi's ship "Skylark" had left the mining star and joined the assault fleet waiting in the orbit of the planet.

Coupled with the ten assault ships of the mining area patrol fleet, a fleet of twenty-one was formed to jointly escort Wang Dong to Blackstone Star.

"If Commander Ding sends out the patrol fleet, will it cause the mining star region's own defense strength to be empty?"

Wang Dong asked.

"Don't worry, the minerals produced in the mining area are not of high value to the Star Thief Group and are of little use. And with the protection of the space fortress, the mineral stars cannot be eaten by one or two Star Thief Groups."

Chen Shayi said nonchalantly.

"Then will we encounter the Star Thieves along the way?"

Wang Dong said casually.

"There are not many Star Thief groups in the nearby star field that can take our fleet. Besides, we have no money to fish for, who will come to gnaw on the hard bones. Don't worry, Your Excellency Wang Dong, with the Skylark here, you Safe and worry-free.”

Chen Shayi laughed and said, obviously feeling that Wang Dong might be on a voyage for the first time and felt a little guilty.

“For some people, being able to nip competitors in the bud may be the most cost-effective way.

Wang Dong didn't care about Chen Shayi's attitude, but said something meaningful.

"Your Excellency, Knight Sha Yi, the purpose of your visit and your schedule are probably not confidential. After all, the movements of the fleet cannot be hidden from anyone."

Wang Dong's words made Chen Shayi thoughtful.

A serious look appeared on his face, he thought for a moment, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Only a few people knew of your existence before I set out, but after the Baron gave me the order, it was no longer a secret. What you mean by initiative is...

Wang Dong shook his head slightly and said: "No, I just don't think I can rule out a certain possibility. As you said, with the fleet you brought, plus the patrol fleet sent by Commander Ding, this force should be enough to protect me. safety.

But if some people are serious, the best time for them to take action is before I return to the Baron's Mansion and am officially recognized. "(aeci)

Although the fire battleship from the Highland Viscounty had been trapped in the asteroid belt.

But Wang Dong can't guarantee whether the other party has other back-ups.

After all, with his rebirth, some things have changed, and the corresponding butterfly effect is gradually expanding.

When it comes to your own life, it is necessary to be more cautious.

Therefore, Wang Dong chose to remind Chen Shayi from the side.

Let this knight, who has always been immersed in a false atmosphere of peace and does not seem to be fully aware of the cruelty of the struggle, be more vigilant.

"His Excellency Wang Jujun has a pure character and will not make such a decision. The Zhong family's strength cannot defeat our fleet.

The fleet from my family can crush us, but in the barony, they have been closely monitored. If there is any change, we will definitely receive the news.

As for the rest..."

Chen Shayi muttered something, but he couldn't find the suspect for a long time.

"Which force is closest to us and the most powerful?"

Seeing him racking his brains, Wang Dong couldn't help but remind him.

Compared to Ding Weichun, except for loyalty, this knight's other qualities seem to be a bit average.

Especially his political acumen is almost nonexistent.

And even if you are loyal, it is for the Baron.

However, Ding Weichun and Chen Shayi are the only ones who have shown goodwill to Wang Dong at present.

Don't be too rough with "your own people".

"Ah! It's the Highland Viscounty! If we can kill His Excellency Wang Dong, it will undoubtedly make the situation in the barony even more chaotic!

Even if we fail to succeed, severely damaging our fleet will also make the Baron even worse!"

After being reminded by Wang Dong, Chen Shayi suddenly realized.

"It must be the Star Thief Group! The Highland Viscounty dare not send troops blatantly, otherwise they will be in trouble if they violate the law that prohibits internal fighting between nobles.

But many of those star thieves are idiots who can work as long as they are paid, and the Highland Viscounty will not let go of this opportunity. "

Although his political acumen is not good, he still has combat experience.

"Order, the fleet raises its alert level and forms a combat formation!"

Chen Shayi immediately raised his vigilance and summoned his adjutant to issue instructions.

"yes!"

The adjutant carried out the order neatly.

Subsequently, within a short period of time, the "Skylark" entered an alert state. At the same time, all assault ships also appropriately distanced themselves from each other to form a spherical array.

Wang Dong nodded slightly, this is a well-trained fleet.

Whether it is obedience or military literacy, there are merits.

The Pond still stayed in the asteroid belt and did not immediately follow Chen Shayi's fleet.

Unless absolutely necessary, Wang Dong would definitely not let Pond Hao show up.

After strengthening the quantum entangled brainwave manipulation system to LV.5, with the help of the "growth value doubling" function of the auxiliary system, its range has reached 0.21 light years.

This was a considerable distance, enough for the Pond to stay far behind the fleet without being detected.

A few hours later, the fleet passed through the channel and gradually left the mining area. .
