Salute To The General

Digby, who was on the flagship of Steel Wings, was completely dumbfounded upon hearing Torii's words.

He exclaimed in disbelief, "General, this..."

Torii roared, "This? This is an order!"

Although obedience to orders was the primary rule, Torii was the leader of the Steel Wings, a high-ranking general in the Gods Air Force, and also Digby's teacher.

There was no way Digby could carry out this command!

If Steel Wings opened fire, even if the gunfire from Steel Wings hadn't accidentally hit Torii, the furious space pirates would still kill him on the spot.

Digby simply couldn't bring himself to give the order to fire.

But if he didn't fire, the fiery-tempered Torii would be thoroughly enraged.

"D*mn it, my life doesn't matter. What matters is that you must avenge me. Have you forgotten that the first rule of a warrior is to obey orders? If you're unable to give orders, I'll lend you a hand so that you won't feel any pressure! Remember, after I die, you fire!" After saying that, he clenched his fists tightly and suddenly let out a roar.

In an instant, his chest wound burst open, with blood exploding out like a geyser.

His body then stiffened, and finally, with a tilt of his head, he collapsed into Nikolette's arms.

He ended his life.

Nathan was taken aback by this scene.

This also left Toothless and the other space pirates dumbfounded.

They all never expected that Torii would be so resolute and rather die than surrender.

At this moment, on the flagship of Steel Wings, Digby noticed that the light symbolizing Torii's location within the combat system of the Gods had disappeared.

Torii showed no signs of life. He was already dead.

Tears instantly covered Digby's face.

His hand trembling, he gripped the communication device tightly, gritting his teeth as he commanded, "Attention all spaceship commanders. General Torii made a heroic sacrifice. Now, I, Digby, will take charge of the Steel Wings. I command you to enter battle mode immediately. Annihilate these d*mned pirates and avenge General Torii. But remember, do not fire at the enemy's flagship. Not only because the general's wife is still there but also because I want to save that flagship for last. I want to personally wipe out everyone on that ship to avenge the general with my own hands!"

After he finished speaking, he roared, "Fire!"

The roar of gunfire echoed through each spaceship under Steel Wings.

Several spaceships, each with its own commander, simultaneously issued the command, "Fire."

In an instant, several spaceships of the Gods simultaneously opened fire on the pirates' spaceships.novelbin

Laser beams streaked toward the spaceships of the pirates.

Several old pirate spaceships were hit simultaneously, exploding one after another.

The pirates were thoroughly enraged as well.

The remaining pirate spaceships immediately began to retaliate.

Both sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

Lasers rained down ceaselessly, interweaving in the sky, while the sound of explosions was an unending echo.

Steel Wings only had a dozen or so spaceships, a number that couldn't compare to the hundreds possessed by the pirates.

But the spaceships of Steel Wings were all incredibly advanced spaceships of the Gods.

Its offensive and defensive capabilities were simply not on the same level as the pirates' spaceships.

Their spaceships completely overwhelmed the pirates in every aspect.

So, the pirates' spaceships suffered severe damage from the very start of the battle.

Also, the dense attack from the hundreds of pirates' spaceships on the Steel Wings fleet was blocked by the energy shields of the Gods spaceships before they could even get close.

The pirates suffered heavy losses, yet not a single spaceship of the Gods was destroyed.

The pirates teetered on the brink of destruction, facing the imminent threat of annihilation by Steel Wings. Right then, the situation suddenly changed!

Digby was commanding the fleet in battle when, suddenly, the spaceship's defense alarm began to blare wildly.
