A wanted man.
The two warships engaged in an endless battle in space. No matter how the insectoid warship tried to escape, it could not escape Xia Feis pursuit. Wherever it warped, Xia Feis Lunar Eclipse would follow.
The insectoid warship was a destroyer, while Xia Feis ship was a frigate. The difference in size between the two ships was at least five to six times.
In theory, the destroyer was there to deal with frigates that were a size smaller than it, but the reality was that Xia Feis frigate was chasing after the destroyer.
This was like a game between a cat and a mouse, except that the game was a little twisted. Right now, the cat was constantly dodging, evading, and resisting, while Xia Fei, the mouse, was desperately biting the cat's tail and refusing to let go, occasionally using his hand to poke the cat's butt.
The insectoid warship commander went from being impatient at first, then to rage, and finally to going a little crazy.
He could not understand why Xia Feis Lunar Eclipse had so many strange weapons. Sonic attacks, electromagnetic attacks, cannons, missiles, radar jamming, everything, and each was more perverted and shameless than the last.
Fighting with Xia Feis was like a professional soldier encountering a street thug. Even if he could not kill him, he would be disgusted to death.
Just as the insectoid warship was about to use its main cannon to counterattack, Xia Feis immediately threw a fire-control interference bomb, forcing the fire-control operator to take some time to lock onto Xia Feis position again.
Before he could lock onto the target, Xia Feis threw another interference bomb.
The experienced fire-control operator was so anxious that he was about to cry. Are you going to let us live or not? Can't you just fight a fair and square battle? How long are you going to keep using such shameless tactics?
Xia Feis did not care about the other's feelings at all. He had been fighting according to his own ideas. As long as Lunar Eclipse had weapons and equipment, Xia Feis would throw them at the insectoid warship.
Tactics? Who would care about what tactics he used when they were fighting to the death? Be it a black or white rat, as long as he could catch the cat, he was a good rat.
This was an unfair fight. From the shape and size of Lunar Eclipse, it was no doubt an ordinary frigate that could be found anywhere in the universe.
However, this ordinary frigate was so crazy and barbaric when it started fighting. A frigate could chase an insectoid destroyer until it wanted to commit suicide. Such a thing was not rare, but extremely rare!
Xia Fei had been very careful all this while, slowly weakening the enemy's defenses and maneuverability. He never attacked the core systems of the insectoid warship, hoping that he could intercept it while ensuring that it did not explode.
The reason why Xia Fei did this was because he was afraid that Xiao Yu might really be on this ship.
Xiao Yu was one of the most obedient girls Xia Fei knew. She was very obedient and naive, and losing her was already something that made Xia Fei very angry. If he accidentally blew up the ship and indirectly caused Xiao Yu's death, Xia Fei would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
The insectoid warship warped once more, and Xia Fei had no choice but to stop and wait. The time it took to warp through the wormhole was anywhere from one to ten minutes. Once it exited the wormhole, Xia Fei would immediately relocate it and track it.
The communication system showed that there was an emergency call from headquarters. Xia Fei tapped on the screen and accepted the call.
Xia Fei, whats the situation now? Robert asked in a deep voice.
Xia Fei gave a brief report of what had happened to Robert, to which the latter nodded. You've done very well. We mustn't let this insectoid ship go no matter what. If we can't stop it, we'll sink it. In any case, we must kill it at all costs.
Xia Fei did not bat an eyelid. "I will do my best to stop it."
Xia Fei only promised Robert that he would do his best to stop it, but he did not promise to shoot it down. Actually, sinking the ship was not difficult for Xia Fei. Lunar Eclipse still had a few trump cards that it had yet to use.
When Xia Fei was assembling the ship, he had implemented his philosophy of victory with a price, equipping the ship with several weapons that attacked indiscriminately, even those that could perish together.
However, he would rather let the ship go than sink it, not to mention using his trump cards. Letting it go would at least give Xiao Yu a chance to live, but if he sunk it, Xia Fei would probably have a gravestone in his heart forever.
Good. Major General Torre of the border guards will be speaking to you. His fleet is responsible for patrolling the outer perimeter of the quarantine zone.
The screen flickered, and a middle-aged man in a military uniform appeared in front of Xia Fei a few seconds later.
Major General Torre had a typical military face. He had a wide chin, dark skin, and eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
Young man, youre the chief patrol officer of the Alliance's defense force stationed in Endaro Star Region. Tell me your name, spaceship serial number, and your position in the Adjudicators, Major General Torre said sternly.
My name is Xia Fei, and I belong to the Adjudicators Union's Heaven Execution Training Camp.
Major General Torre rubbed his stubbled chin and nodded. The Heaven Execution Training Camp had a very high reputation in the Alliance, so anyone who could enter it would not be bad. That was why Major General Torre had a good impression of Xia Fei at first, but what Xia Fei said next almost caused this professional soldier to break down.
Im a librarian in the training camp, Xia Fei said casually.
"Librarian!" Admiral Torre's face was filled with disbelief, and his forehead wrinkled.
Robert, why are you letting a librarian pursue a spy? Is there no one else in the Adjudicators Union? Major General Torre asked curiously, a hint of mockery in his tone.
No matter where they were, librarians would always be associated with bookish, cowardly, inactive, wearing glasses all day long buried in piles of books, and so on. Major General Torre thought so too.
Robert looked a little awkward. He had personally recruited Xia Fei into the training camp back then. He felt that Xia Fei had a drive that others did not have, and he would definitely be useful to the Union in the future.
However, he did not expect Xia Fei to be a librarian in a library instead of joining so many divisions. He was very disappointed and even somewhat regretted his decision back then.
Hehe, no matter what, the Adjudicators Union has discovered the insectoid spy, while the military has yet to find a single trace, Robert retorted without batting an eyelid.
Hmph! Torre snorted and ignored Robert. He turned to Xia Fei and said, Report your position and the enemy's position at once. I have four fleets patrolling the border. We can get there as fast as we can. We mustn't let these spies escape.
Xia Fei was slightly surprised. The military had always been known for being ruthless. If they interfered now, would they use a large weapon to shoot down the enemy ship? If that happened, he would lose his only chance to get Xiao Yu back, and Xia Fei did not want to see that happen.
After some thought, Xia Fei said, I need the military to guarantee that they won't harm the insectoid ship. They can only capture it alive.
Major General Torre glared fiercely and said, "Librarian, listen to me! This is an order, not a request. What the military does is their business. It's not up to you to tell them what to do.
Torre was indeed a professional soldier. His voice was loud and his words were stern. He looked quite scary, and a timid person might have wet their pants on the spot.
Using the military to pressure me? Xia Fei smiled. Sorry, I'm not your subordinate, so your order has no effect on me. Unless you can guarantee the safety of this insectoid ship, there's no need for us to continue this conversation.
Xia Fei's voice was not loud, but it was very firm. He used a very polite but non-negotiable tone to convey the message he wanted to convey to Torre. Xia Fei could ignore his orders, but there was no reason for him to become enemies with the military over it.
"Believe it or not, I'll catch you and throw you into prison! Do you believe that I won't blow your ship to smithereens? Tell me where you are. Let's see if I don't shoot you.
Admiral Torre unleashed his threats, yelling at Xia Fei. Unfortunately, Xia Fei had already made up his mind, so he did not care about his threats at all.
Sorry, Xia Fei very simply said these two words.
"Great! You must be a spy for the insectoids! I'll issue a warrant for your arrest immediately. Major General Torre was so furious that he almost pulled out his gun and pointed it at Xia Fei.
Xia Fei lowered his head and checked the marking system. It had been more than five minutes, and that insectoid warship had yet to emerge from the wormhole. It looked like it had made a long-distance warp this time, which made it even more difficult for him to track it.
Is this how you manage your subordinates? What do you think he looks like? Robert, are you going to get involved in this or not? Major General Torre turned around and threw a tantrum at Robert when he saw that Xia Fei was ignoring him.
Robert might look like a kind-hearted old man, but he did not have a good temper. He put on a stern face and said, "Major General Torre, how the Adjudicator Union manages its members is our internal business. You don't have to worry about it."
Robert did not forget to give Xia Fei a look as he spoke.
Xia Fei immediately understood that he wanted him to handle this matter well so that the military would not be able to use it against him.
Major General Torre, the Adjudicator Union is not an unreasonable organization. We are also very concerned about the safety of the Alliance. Ill tell you where I am.
Xia Fei's attitude took a 180-degree turn after receiving Robert's instructions. Before Torre could react, Xia Fei said, "My current position is …"
Not good! There's strong electromagnetic interference in this area. The radar system is malfunctioning. Oh my god! The positioning system is also malfunctioning.
Xia Fei acted like a very realistic movie, panicking in the cabin with an extremely nervous expression. With a light tap of his finger, Xia Fei turned off his communicator completely.
Robert slumped back into his chair after dealing with Major General Torre. After some thought, he contacted Ye Jingshan, who was anxiously waiting for news.
How did it go? asked Ye Jingshan anxiously.
Robert shook his head. You can say that it failed.
You can say that?
Thats right. The plan we came up with was to place Xia Fei and Xiao Haili in a confined space and see if Xiao Haili would make a move on Xia Fei. If he did, then his identity as a mole would undoubtedly be exposed, and the three squads from the Clandestine Investigation Department that were lying in ambush would immediately make a move to apprehend him.
Ye Jingshan nodded. The two of us came up with this plan together. Every part of it was well thought out, so how could it fail?
"Thorough?" Robert sighed and said, "Guess what? The people from the Clandestine Investigations Department encountered a group of unknown Blood Raiders in the space station. Three Silver Adjudicators and six Bronze Adjudicators died mysteriously in the space station. Even Xiao Haili and Queiroz were killed.
Our plan completely failed. Not only will we never know if Xiao Haili is a mole or not, but we also lost the lives of eleven Adjudicators. Eleven! Robert said dejectedly. From today onward, there will no longer be a Magnificent Team Thirteen in the Endaro Star Region.
With that, Robert unbuttoned his shirt and took out a bottle of hard liquor from under the cabinet. He opened the cap and poured it down his throat. No matter what, Xiao Haili was still his disciple, and with such a serious matter happening to the Union, it was hard for him to absolve himself from the blame as the president. At this very moment, the headquarters was still waiting for him to report back, but he had no idea how to start.
Robert did not explain the details, and Ye Jingshan was completely confused. He composed himself and asked, What about Xia Fei? Is Xia Fei still safe?
Xia Fei … Robert had a helpless look on his face. All of them are dead, but Xia Fei is still alive. Furthermore, I have no idea what the kid is up to, but he refuses to let the military interfere with the Blood Raiders. This caused me to quarrel with Major General Torres of the border guards.
From what I heard, he seems to have some misgivings, insisting on capturing those Blood Raiders alive and unwilling to sink them. I wonder why is it that wherever Xia Fei appears, there will always be endless trouble? Do you know how much trouble he's gotten himself into since the beginning of the assessment? "
"This time, I've made up my mind. No matter what, I can't let him stay in the guild any longer. When he returns, just expel him. Any one of the crimes he caused this time is enough to warrant expulsion. What talent? I just want to avoid so much trouble right now."
Robert complained to Ye Jingshan, not only because Xia Fei had disobeyed orders, but also because Xia Fei was responsible for Xiao Haili's death and the loss of the Secret Investigations Department.
Actually, he felt that he was the one who was complaining first. After all, using Xia Fei as bait to investigate whether Xiao Haili was a mole was the plan he and Ye Jingshan had come up with.
He clearly knew that Xia Fei was a troublemaker, yet he still pushed him into trouble. Who else could he blame?
Ye Jingshan paused for a moment before bitterly saying, Robert, I cant fire Xia Fei. Not only can I not fire him, but I will also have to bear the consequences if something happens to him this time.
Robert, who was in the middle of pouring alcohol into his stomach, nearly spat it out when he heard this.
Why? Youre the battalion commander of the training camp; why cant you fire a cadet? Robert asked as he wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
Finally, the tracking system detected the location of the insectoid ship, and Xia Fei immediately piloted Lunar Eclipse to chase after it.
Before entering the wormhole. Xia Fei suddenly received a star region-wide arrest warrant from the emergency channel, and he could not help but be stunned when he opened it.
