Beware

In the previous life, the Baron was unable to gain the approval of the vassals of the Barony, and because of Wang Dong, the Barony was strongly hostile to the Tianfang Earldom and the Jin family, and the Baron never changed his mind. The Baroness asked for help from the family behind her. The head of the Shi family resolutely decided to bring the Highland Viscountcy into the game.

　　This was not a betrayal of the Baron himself.

　　The Highland Viscountcy and the Blackstone Barony did not tear each other apart and become formally hostile. Although the two sides had frictions in secret, they had a tacit understanding to limit the intensity below a certain level.

　　Previously, Zheng Yan and others heard that "the Blackstone Baron and the Highland Viscount signed the Limited Open Trade Agreement", which was a manifestation of this tacit understanding.

　　At that time, the family behind the Baroness and the Viscount of Highland had a cooperative relationship.

　　The Viscount of Highland stood up for the family behind the Baroness to consolidate its position and provided some indirect help, while the Baroness promoted some policies of the Blackstone Baron and met a small part of the Viscount of Highland's demands.

　　But for Wang Dong, this Baroness is an obstacle that must be overcome.

　　In terms of her stance on illegitimate children, the Baroness will not care about her feelings for the Baron himself.

　　Like this time, when Chen Shayi's fleet that was escorting Wang Dong back to the Baron's Mansion was attacked, the news was revealed by the Baroness to her family.

　　The Baroness may not necessarily have direct malice.

　　But the family behind her spread the news intentionally or unintentionally, and the Highland Viscountry learned about it, and then the Highland Viscountry used its power and influence to find the Star Pirates to ambush.

　　In addition, the Highland Viscountry also secretly dispatched a Fire warship to attack the Star Pirates from the front and back.

　　The purpose is naturally to take Wang Dong's life.

　　Needless to say, the Baroness's motives may be simply complaining to the family behind her.

　　The motives of the family behind the Baroness are also hard to say. Perhaps they want to put Wang Dong, the kid who suddenly joined the game, on the table in this way.

　　The Highland Viscountry hopes that the situation of the heir dispute in the Black Stone Baronry will become more chaotic and have no bottom line.

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

　　He took out his notebook and wrote down this account.

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

　　Together with the ten assault ships of the mining star patrol fleet, a fleet of twenty-one ships was formed to escort Wang Dong to the Black Stone Star.

　　"Will Chief Ding's dispatch of the patrol fleet cause the mining star field's own defense force to be empty?"

　　Wang Dong asked.

　　"Don't worry, the minerals produced in the mining star field are not of high value and useful to the star pirates. And with the protection of the space fortress, the mining planet cannot be taken down by one or two star pirate groups."

　　Chen Shayi said nonchalantly.

　　"Then will we encounter star pirates along the way?"

　　Wang Dong said casually.

　　"There are not many pirate groups in the nearby star fields that can take down our fleet. Besides, there is nothing to gain from us, so who would want to take on such a tough task? Don't worry, Mr. Wang Dong. With the Skylark, your safety is assured."

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 their competitors in the bud may be the most cost-effective approach."

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

　　"Sir Knight Shayi, the purpose of your trip and your schedule should not be a secret, after all, the movement of the fleet cannot be hidden from anyone."

　　Wang Dong's words made Chen Shayi thoughtful.

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

　　"Before I set out, only a very few people knew of your existence, but after the Baron gave me an order, it was no longer a secret. Your Excellency Wang Dong meant..."

　　Wang Dong shook his head slightly and said, "No, I just think that a certain possibility cannot be ruled out. As Your Excellency said, with the fleet you brought, plus the patrol fleet sent by Chief Ding, this force should be enough to protect my safety.

　　But if some people are interested, before I return to the Baron's Mansion and my identity is officially recognized, it is the best time for them to act."

　　Although the Fire warship from the Viscount of the Highlands has been buried in the asteroid belt.

　　But Wang Dong cannot guarantee whether the other party has other backup plans.

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

　　It is necessary to be more cautious when it comes to one's own life.

　　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 seems not to have fully realized the cruelty of the struggle, be more vigilant.

　　"Lord Wang Jujun is a kind-hearted man who would not make such a decision. The Zhong family is not strong enough to defeat our fleet. The fleet from our family could crush us, but they are under close surveillance in the Baron's territory. Once there is any unusual movement, we will definitely receive the news.

　　As for the others..."

　　Chen Shayi kept muttering to himself, but he couldn't find the suspect for a long time.

　　"Which force is closest to us and has the most power?"

　　Wang Dong couldn't help but remind him when he saw him racking his brains.

　　Compared with Ding Weichun, this knight seems to have average qualities except loyalty.

　　Especially his political acumen, which is almost non-existent.

　　And even if he is loyal, it is to the Baron.

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

　　Don't be too rude to "your own people".

　　"Ah! It's the Highland Viscountcy! If we can kill Lord Wang Dong, it will undoubtedly make the situation in the Baron's territory even more chaotic!

　　Even if we fail, it will severely damage our fleet, which will also make the situation in the Baron's territory even worse!"

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

　　"It must be the Star Pirates! The Highland Viscountcy dare not send troops openly, otherwise it will violate the law that nobles cannot fight each other at will, and they will be in trouble.

　　But those star pirates are idiots who will work as long as they are paid. The Highland Viscountcy will not miss this opportunity."

　　Although he is not politically savvy, he still has combat experience.

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

　　Chen Shayi immediately raised his vigilance and called the adjutant to issue an order.

　　"Yes!"

　　The adjutant executed the order neatly.

　　Then, in a very short time, the "Skylark" entered a state of alert. At the same time, all the assault ships also appropriately distanced themselves from each other and formed a spherical array.

　　Wang Dong nodded slightly. This is a well-trained fleet.

　　Both obedience and military literacy are desirable.

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

　　Wang Dong would definitely not let the Pond show up unless it was absolutely necessary.

　　After strengthening the quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system to level 5, with the help of the auxiliary system's "double growth value" function, its range has reached 0.21 light years.

　　This is a considerable distance, enough for the Pond to follow the fleet far behind without being discovered.

　　A few hours later, the fleet passed the waterway and gradually sailed away from the mining area.
