Chapter 20

Natural disaster mothership, meeting room.

When Ye Ming and Yisha came in, there were already eight people, including Doug and others whom Ye Ming was familiar with.

It's just that Lance isn't here.

Lance has rarely participated in combat operations since his eye injury.

The natural disasters are also divided into multiple battle teams, and the leaders of the battle teams are currently in the conference room.

The only exception is Ye Ming, who has not joined any team yet.

The purpose of Isa bringing him here this time was to let him choose a team to join.

Alessa glanced at Ye Ming, and asked directly to the people present:
"Which team is still free to accept newcomers?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Ming realized that he was the chosen one...

"Our team is currently full, but if Ye Ming wants to, he can come to our team as a non-staff member."

Someone spoke first.

The establishment of each combat squad is fixed, but the number of non-staff members is not limited.

Non-staff members generally do not need to follow the team to play, and the risks they bear are very small, and the same treatment is not as good as that of regular players.

Unless there are regular team members who die or are no longer capable of combat, non-staff teammates have the opportunity to become regulars and replace the original regular players.

However, there are more than one non-staff members in a team, and they need to compete for posts if they want to become regulars.

Ye Ming has figured out the internal structure of the natural disaster pirate group in the past few days.

The mode of operation of the natural disaster is not the mode of the traditional interstellar pirates, and what the natural disasters are doing now is very different from other interstellar pirates.

When they said that they had a job to do, they didn't mean simply looting a certain target, but received a task similar to an entrustment.

To put it bluntly, it means taking people's money and doing things for them.

For him, being a non-staff player is obviously not enough to meet his needs, and he needs to earn stars now.

After the task is completed, the non-staff members will basically not get any dividends.

But he didn't rush to speak.

There were seven team captains present except for Aretha. Their establishment couldn't be full, right?
"Leader, our team's official establishment is also full, and we can only provide places for non-staff members."

Another said.

Alessa just nodded and didn't say much.

"Captain, you know me, our team will basically never be short of people."

"Captain..."

……

In the end, six people said that the official team establishment was full.

But they also welcome Ye Ming to join as a non-staff member.

Alessa frowned slightly, and looked at Doug, who was the only one who didn't speak in the audience.

"Doug, I remember that there should be a vacancy in your team?"

Basically no one of them died in the last Black Rock Star operation, but some members of Doug's team were seriously injured and were temporarily unable to fight.

Doug heard the words and quickly explained:
"Leader, our team just became a regular non-staff member yesterday, and it is now at full strength, but if little brother Ye Ming is willing to be a non-staff member, I naturally welcome it."

After speaking, he looked at Ye Ming apologetically, and said:

"Sorry, brother Ye Ming."

"It's ok."

Ye Ming shook his head, this kind of thing is actually normal, and he can't be dissatisfied with it.

"It seems that you don't have a team for the time being, do you want to come to my team?"

Isa said with a smile.

"Your team?"

Ye Ming was stunned for a while, he didn't see any team of Yisha on Black Rock Star last time.

As the deputy commander, she is usually in charge of logistics, analyzing battlefield intelligence on the mothership and making the most favorable judgment.

Isa nodded and said, "That's right! Now it's just me and the captain."

Ye Ming thought, this is not a team at all, is it?

Alessa also set her eyes on Ye Ming at this time, and said lightly:

"What's your choice? Choose a team to be a non-staff member in the rear, or go on missions with us?"

If he had a choice, he would naturally be willing to stay at the back and retire in peace.

It's a pity that it is absolutely impossible now, this world is too dangerous, especially if you are an interstellar pirate, you may be wiped out at any time.

He must hurry up and become stronger.

It is naturally necessary to go on a mission for this purpose.

Ye Ming replied seriously: "I don't want to stay in the rear and live a peaceful life."

"Then let's settle for now."

Alessa nodded, then looked around at the crowd, and said:
"Next, let's get to the point. This mission is to intercept a transport fleet heading for Qiushui planet in the Chaos Star Sea."

"The sea of ​​rocks and stars? Isn't that the territory of Earl Black Dragon?"

Doug wondered.

The Lei Ze Empire has many affiliated forces. They chose to submit when the empire conquered and offered tribute to the empire every year in exchange for peace.

The Earl of the Black Dragon is the master of the Black Dragon Galaxy and one of the largest subsidiary forces of the empire.

"That's right." Alessa nodded and continued: "The goods are a group of elven slaves paid tribute to the empire by Earl Black Dragon."

"A commission from the Federation of Radiance?"

Isa was a little surprised.

Most of the elves are members of the Federation of Radiance.

Alessa corrected: "To be precise, it is the Secret Spirit Society, and the Federation of Radiance will not take us seriously."

Yisha snorted softly: "Oh, do they really know how to plan, let us offend the Black Dragon Earl?"

Alessa said lightly:

"I don't want to take this troublesome job, but they give too much."

"I'm just talking. After all, we are pirates. There are too many forces to offend, and there are not many more Black Dragon Earls." Isa changed her words without changing her face.

Hearing these words, Ye Ming deeply realized the risk of being a pirate.

This is to the point where there are too many lice and they are no longer afraid of itchiness.

Of course, it doesn't make any difference if he is a fugitive from the empire and a pirate.

It's already like this, how can it go bad?
He had heard of the Federation of Radiance. The Federation of Radiance was an alliance established to resist the expansion of the Lei Ze Empire.

Later, it gradually developed and grew, becoming an existence comparable to the strength of the empire.

This galaxy was originally a battlefield for both sides. After the war, both sides took a step back and used this place as a dividing line.

Gradually, this place became a gathering place for pirates and mercenaries.

Both the Empire and the Federation have acquiesced in their existence. The two sides are unwilling to conflict on the surface, but they can occasionally secretly hire some people to do something on the other side's territory.

To put it bluntly, they are living in the cracks between the two sides. Once a conflict breaks out between the two sides, they will be the first to suffer.

Sure enough, you still have to have enough strength, otherwise, even your survival depends on the face of others.

Ye Ming once again realized the importance of strength.

As for the content of this meeting, he doesn't care, he just needs to follow the arrangement when the time comes, and he is not a newcomer who can interrupt the meeting.

"Get ready for battle, we will set off in three hours."

The meeting was very brief, and it didn't talk a lot of nonsense like the previous meetings at work. Alesia glanced at the time and stood up.

Others also left.

Doug winked at him when he passed by, Ye Ming followed out without knowing why.

Then I heard him say mysteriously:

"It's not that I'm unjust, brother, but that Captain Yisha specifically told me to fill up the team yesterday..."
