After confirming Alexis's identity, Jiang Fei docked the shuttle at Alexis's flagship.
"Where have you been all this time, Little Fei?" Alexis asked curiously. On the one hand, he was curious about Jiang Fei's disappearance. On the other hand, he did not think that Jiang Fei would be able to afford such a luxurious shuttle.
"I wanted to catch up with the Galactic Specter, but the patrol boat was too slow. On my way back, I met my master," Jiang Fei replied with a smile. Jiang Fei replied with a smile. Since Theon had allowed him to use his name, there was no need for Jiang Fei to be polite.
"Your master?" Alexis was surprised. He had brought Jiang Fei up from Earth, but he had never heard of Jiang Fei having a master.
"Yes, and my master said that I was embarrassing him by driving a patrol boat, so he gave me a shuttle," said Jiang Fei.
"Little Fei, when did you have a master? How come I've never heard of him? This thing is worth a lot of money. I'm afraid that most people can't afford it." Theon was even more puzzled. The person who could afford such a luxurious shuttle had to be someone with a powerful background.
"Pfft, my master is stingy. He never spends his own money when he gives things," said Jiang Fei. Which treasure did Theon buy with his own money?
"You don't spend money? Who's your master? "Alexis had a bad feeling about this.
"My master's name is Theon. You may have heard of him, my lord," said Jiang Fei with a smile.
"Hehe … it's really him …" Theon smiled bitterly. When Jiang Fei said that his master gave him something for free, he had already guessed that it was most likely a thief. Moreover, Sarila had mentioned to him that Jiang Fei and Theon were close friends, so it was only natural for him to associate the two of them together.
Even though Alexis didn't want to have anything to do with Theon, he still decided to befriend Jiang Fei. First of all, Jiang Fei had the potential to be of great help to him in the future. Secondly, he wanted to befriend Jiang Fei so that Theon and Theon wouldn't covet his treasure vault again.
"My lord, how's the war going?" Jiang Fei asked curiously. Alexis's fleet was no longer as large as it was when they first set out. Almost all the patrol boats had been wiped out, most of the frigates had been destroyed, and even several destroyers had been lost.
"Sigh! Don't even mention it. I was captured by that bastard Aino and used as cannon fodder twice. Whenever I think of these recent losses, my heart aches! " At the mention of war, Alexis's expression became gloomy. Although he tried his best to avoid participating in the war, he couldn't avoid it forever. Once the reasonable period of avoidance was over, he had to appear on the battlefield.
How could Aino let go of this guy who had tricked him with a Space Fortress? That was why Alexis was the one who had to take on two suicidal missions in a row. If it weren't for Alexis's experience, his losses would have been far worse.
At that moment, the Redstone's captain suddenly reported, "Sir, we have a communication."
"Damn it! Alexis closed his eyes. He knew without asking that it was Aino's new order.
"Should I bring him in? My lord, "the captain asked.
"Answer!" Although Alexis was extremely reluctant, he did not dare to reject Aino's call.
"Alexis, immediately lead your troops to the coordinates XXX, XXX, XXX. Coordinate with our allies to stop the Trade Federation's fleet from retreating!" Aino said expressionlessly.
"Yes, my lord!" Alexis cursed in his heart, but he did not dare disobey the order.
After the call ended, Jiang Fei asked curiously, "My lord, what do you think of this mission?"
"That old bastard is a bastard. Even though it's not a suicidal mission, it's still a thankless one. I'd be lucky if even half of my men can return alive!" Alexis said with a darkened face.
This time, Aino had asked Alexis to stop the Trade Federation's fleet from retreating, while Alexis's main force was to kill them from behind. Of course, it was easy to chase after the Trade Federation's fleet, but it was a different story for the troops in charge of stopping the enemy.
The Trade Federation was trying to escape, and now that they were in front of them, they were going to die anyway. How could the Trade Federation not fight back? And what level of fleet was retreating? That was the combined fleet of several legions. With Alexis's small fleet, it would be impossible for them to stop it.
If that happened, Alexis's fleet would definitely suffer a huge loss, and the enemy would be able to tear a hole in their defense line. Aino would then have to hold Alexis responsible for his failure to stop the enemy's advance. So, this mission could be said to be an arduous and unrewarding one.
"So, what's your plan?" Jiang Fei asked curiously.
"Go!" Alexis gritted his teeth as he uttered those words. All he could do now was hope that the order to leave the battlefield would arrive soon. Otherwise, he would die at the hands of Aino sooner or later.
Soon, the fleet began to warp to the designated coordinates. Jiang Fei was on Alexis's flagship as they headed to the battlefield.
"Finally, it's time to join the war!" After all, this was the first time he had experienced such an interstellar war. Although he had fought against the pirates with Domingo the last time, the battle had only just begun when they were disrupted by The Ultralisk. Jiang Fei was quite excited.
About six hours later, Jiang Fei and the others arrived at the designated location. They were going to intercept the Trade Federation's fleet.
"Release all the probes," Alexis ordered. He did not want to be caught off guard during the ambush.
"Yes, sir!" The captain nodded and began to release a large number of probes to monitor the entire area.
The Trade Federation's fleet did not keep Alexis and Jiang Fei waiting for long. About two hours later, the probes found the enemy's location.
"Damn it! That old bastard Aino is trying to kill us with a borrowed knife! "Alexis cursed as soon as he saw the enemy's fleet.
Jiang Fei had also seen the enemy's situation through the radar. Twelve Bear-class Heavy Cruisers were the Trade Federation's signature warships. They had extremely thick armor and powerful firepower. They were even more powerful than Alexis's flagship, the Crimson Stone. The twelve Bear-class Heavy Cruisers were more than enough to annihilate Alexis's fleet.
Behind the Bear-class Heavy Cruisers were more than fifty Javelin Class Frigates. Although the Javelin Class Frigates had very low armor, they were equipped with two Phase Missile Launchers. Not only did they have a long range, but they were also very powerful. Even Alexis's Crimson Stone could not withstand two volleys of attacks from these Javelin Class Frigates.
