Chapter 390: The Jade Flagship
The Impaler's Black Bat radar was damaged, so Xia Fei could only use the public channel to send a message. He had no idea if the Alliance would receive it.
A large number of videos and everything he had seen and heard in the insectoid territory were sent back. Xia Fei felt that if the military received this information, it might be of some help in this war. Deep in insectoid territory, this was the only thing he could do.
What he did not know, however, was that his information and his simple speech had caused an unprecedented stir in the Alliance. In this war that concerned the survival of the entire race, where there was almost no hope, Xia Fei was like a catalyst, rapidly stirring up the people's passion for war and their desire for freedom.
The people who were huddled in the corner in fear were seething with excitement!
The worried soldiers who were holding fast to their posts were boiling with excitement!
The entire Alliance was seething!
Encouraged by Xia Fei, they were determined to fight to the death with the insectoids!
Humans were a special species of intelligent life in the universe. What they feared the most was not the approach of death but the lack of hope.
Living a life of eating and waiting for death was extremely painful. Many people would rather die a heroic death than become an insectoid slave, spending the rest of their lives in whips and cellars.
Xia Fei's appearance gave the people hope of survival, and they suddenly realized that the insectoids were not invincible. As long as they attacked with the right methods, killing them was as easy as raising a hand.
This was especially true for the high-ranking warriors. When tens of thousands of warships clashed, even the strongest of them would find it difficult to make a difference, but it was different if they could sneak behind enemy lines. If a Legendary warrior could infiltrate the insectoid territory, the damage they could cause would be much more effective than if the Alliance warships attacked from the outside.
Soon, the Adjudicator Union, the Monastic Order, and even the mysterious Brotherhood issued a joint call for elite human warriors to conduct secret operations in the insectoid territory. On one hand, they had to make sure the insectoid territory had no peace, and on the other hand, they had to think of a way to rescue the civilians who had not been able to evacuate in time.
The military and the various major equipment manufacturers gave their full support, providing warships and cloaking systems to them for free.
In truth, the manufacturing process for cloaking systems was not that advanced, but the Alliance had always been afraid that all warships would be equipped with cloaking systems, resulting in more illegal activities, so they strictly controlled the cloaking systems.
Now that they were facing a great enemy, the Alliance naturally had to loosen the restrictions on firearms and cloaking devices. In fact, if all warships were equipped with cloaking devices, although they might not necessarily be able to defeat the insectoids, at the very least, the ordinary spaceships that the civilians were riding on would have a high chance of escaping the war zone.
Of course, these cloaking devices were not as advanced as Xia Fei's Estamel cloaking device. After all, Xia Fei's cloaking device was the only one in the entire Alliance that could perform stealth warp.
With bloodshot eyes and chests full of anger, the elite warriors joined the destruction plan in the enemy-occupied territory. They formed teams of three to five people and piloted warships equipped with stealth systems into the vast space occupied by the insectoids, using their own mobility and agility to fight against the massive insectoid fleet.
This method of breaking up the whole into parts and allowing the experts to work together to deal a fatal blow was surprisingly effective. After the insectoids occupied a planet, they would always send warships to land and plunder the area, searching for valuables and capturing useful slaves. This was the original purpose of the war.
After all, war was an expensive burden for the insectoids. Soldiers and fleets consumed large amounts of wealth every day. Without any profits, the insectoids would find it hard to continue, no matter how powerful they were.
The humans were far wealthier than the insectoids, and the wealth they plundered from the territories they occupied would be continuously transported back to their territories. This wealth, after being digested by the insectoids, would become even more warships and soldiers to join in the pillaging.
Uti, the leader of the insectoids, was extremely intelligent. In the past, the insectoids would kill off all the inhabitants of any place they went to, even using giant warships to destroy planets. This method was undoubtedly foolish, and as time passed, the massive military expenditure would become unsustainable, forcing the war to come to an end.
Now, the insectoids' policy of using war to sustain war had greatly strengthened the central treasury. The resources they plundered were not only enough for the military's expenses, but there would also be a surplus. Uti's wishful thinking was truly astute. After wiping out the humans, he could point his spear at the distant Na 'vi, Ya' ne, and so on. He could attack and plunder while slowly digesting their new territory. If this continued, the insectoids would definitely become a colossal existence in the universe.
The Pan-human Alliance's plan to disrupt the internal affairs of the insectoids had greatly slowed down the insectoids' advance, and the Alliance's armies were forced to retreat. Occupying a star region was not difficult, but the difficult part was digesting it.
They could not just occupy it and not land on it, could they? If they did that, they would not be able to plunder wealth, and without wealth, they would not have new warships or stronger armies. Destroying all the habitable planets? This was no different from killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Planets that nurtured life were irreplaceable, and there were only so many planets in the universe that could support intelligent life. Destroying one meant there would be one less.
In the short term, destroying them would indeed intimidate the enemy, but if they were to destroy all of them, how would they accommodate the growing population of the insectoids?
Ever since the insectoids began to mutate, their population had been growing explosively. Unlike the humans, who had an inefficient fertility rate, a female insectoid could give birth to several hundred offspring in her lifetime, far more than humans. Moreover, these newly born insectoids would only need one or two years to enter the ranks of combat, becoming warriors or workers.
The insectoid territory could no longer accommodate more and more insectoids, which was the main reason why Uti was in such a hurry to attack the Pan-human Alliance.
The elite human warriors were guarding the occupied planets, and the moment the insectoid warships landed and began plundering, they would begin their counter-plundering! Kill the insectoid soldiers and destroy their warships!
The only way to stop them was to send in a large number of soldiers to carry out a carpet cleaning of the planet. After all, the number of elite human warriors was limited, and there was no way they could deal with the insectoid army. It was just that there were thousands of habitable planets in each star region, and carrying out a cleansing operation on each one was time-consuming and expensive. This way, the speed at which the insectoids were advancing was greatly slowed, giving the Alliance a rare chance to catch their breath.
The status of warriors in the Alliance was once again fully demonstrated. If not for these warriors wreaking havoc in the enemy-occupied territories, the Alliance would have found it very difficult to last until now. Even though the various elite warrior organizations had done their best, the Alliance had still lost a third of their territory, and the situation was not optimistic.
…
Not long after Xia Fei reported his experience in the insectoid territory to the Alliance, in some unknown corner of the universe, several young women were gathered together to watch this video.
This was a large semicircular building, completely constructed from transparent glass. The lighting and the angle of view were all excellent. Looking ahead was a boundless blue ocean, layer upon layer of white waves crashing over. A school of dolphins swiftly leaped out of the water, performing flashy and skillful movements before finally diving into the blue ocean, even more graceful than the best divers.
Flocks of seagulls soared overhead, and the white clouds formed a strange scene. Some looked like warships riding through the waves, while others looked like butterflies frolicking among flowers. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
If one got closer and observed, they would discover that these were all simulated images projected by a large screen. The location was not a sunny beach but the interior of a capital ship in the depths of space.
Capital ships were humanity's most powerful armed warships, and all four major warship companies produced them. This ship did not belong to any of the four major warship companies. It had no serial number, no model, and no registration with the Alliance. All it had was a crystalline green exterior, like a giant piece of jade floating in space, causing the surrounding stars to pale in comparison.
A capital ship that did not belong to any of the four major warship companies was already shocking enough, and this ship's elegant appearance and bright color would probably make the most outstanding designer in the world drop their jaws. It had long since surpassed the scope of a warship and was more like a work of art, a unique work of art.
There was only one comfortable chair in the room, and sitting on it was a beautiful and elegant young woman. Her face was so fresh that it was as if she had not eaten the food of the mortal world. If one had to describe her, it would be more appropriate to say that she was a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world.
If Xia Fei had the chance to see this, he would definitely charge forward and kill this fairy. He did not care how extraordinary this lady was. No matter how beautiful she was, that was her own business and had nothing to do with Xia Fei. All Xia Fei cared about was Xiao Yu, Xiao Ruoyu, who was next to this fairy.
Xia Fei had seen this lady before in the Blood Matrix. At the time, Xiao Yu had been by his side, and she had been extremely respectful toward her. She seemed to be her maid. Xia Fei did not need to guess to know that this was the fairy who had taken Xiao Yu away. Even if it was not her, she must have been the one who had ordered it.
This reason was enough for Xia Fei to kill her. There were many men in the world who could not move their legs when they saw a beautiful lady, but Xia Fei was not one of them.
In Xia Fei's eyes, there were only three kinds of people: friends, strangers, and enemies.
Xia Fei would put his life on the line to protect his friends, would ignore the voices and opinions of strangers, and would kill all his enemies. He stubbornly believed that enemies existed to be killed. Even if her beauty could overshadow the sun and moon, it was not a reason for Xia Fei to let her go, ever.
The fairy did not show any emotion when she saw Xia Fei kill the insectoids. Blood and slaughter could not move her. Instead, it was Xia Fei who smiled at the end and told Avrils about his love that caused the fairy's curved eyebrows to furrow.
Beside her was a young girl dressed in a white chiffon dress, holding a transparent crystal pot in her hand. Inside the pot was a kind of leaf that emitted a fragrance. The fragrance was not strong, but it was enough to fill the entire room with this faint fragrance.
The first time Xia Fei saw Xiao Yu, she was still a child, but now she had grown into a slender and elegant young lady. Perhaps it was because of the fairy next to her, but Xiao Yu also had a refreshing and refined temperament.
Seeing this video of Xia Fei killing in the insectoid territory, Xiao Yu paled, and the crystal pot in her hand swayed a few times. Thankfully, it did not fall to the ground. At the end, when Xia Fei confessed to Avrils, Xiao Yu was sincerely happy for Xia Fei. She was happy that he had a girlfriend, but there was a small sense of loss in her heart that she could not suppress no matter what.
The fairy placed a hand on her chin. This unremarkable action of hers carried with it a carefreeness that could make all living things fall for her. Every frown and every smile exuded an unquestionable elegance.
