Before they even got close to the DX07 sector, the Hypercruiser began to transmit an identification code on a specific frequency as per Sarila's instructions. Otherwise, the Trade Federation's warship would be sunk before it could even get close to the Battlestar.
"This is the Star Guard of the Carldish Fortress. Please turn off the engine and shield and prepare for boarding inspection!" When they were about two hundred light-seconds away from the Bastion, a small fleet of ships surrounded them.
"Do it!" Sarila's order was simple. If they wanted to dock at the Carldish Fortress, they had to accept the inspection. If they refused, they would definitely be sunk as an invading fleet of the Trade Federation.
After that, the Hypercruiser turned off the engine and shield. This was tantamount to giving up resistance in front of others. Only by doing this could they show their sincerity.
Soon, a team of fifty people boarded the Hypercruiser.
"Who is the commander here?" asked a Valsalrian officer.
"I am!" Sarila stood up and showed her identity card.
"The 13th Division of the Seventh Fleet?" The Valsalrian officer frowned.
"Yes! We were ordered to stop the Trade Federation's fleet, but we were outnumbered. In the end, Sir Alexis ordered us to forcibly engage in a boarding battle. We were lucky enough to seize this heavy cruiser and successfully retreat, "said Sarila.
"Okay!" The Valsalrian officer in charge of the inspection nodded. Although Sarila and the others had forcibly withdrawn from the battlefield without receiving orders, the marines had the right to do so. As long as they seized the enemy's warship, they could immediately leave the battle and send the warship back to the rear.
"Everyone's identity check!" The Valsalrian officer waved his hand. Then, his soldiers stepped forward and began to check the identities of Jiang Fei and the others.
As the marines had suffered heavy losses, less than a thousand people managed to escape with Jiang Fei, so the verification was completed very quickly.
"Okay! Your identities have been verified. Please follow me back to the Carldish Fortress. Leave this ship where it is. Someone will come and take over later! " Said the Valsalrian officer. Although the surrendered Trade Federation crew did not have much combat power, there were many of them. It was impossible to rely on these people to guard them.
"Okay!" Sarila nodded. Although this Valsalrian officer wanted to seize control of the battleship, she did not have the ability to resist. After all, this was Aino's territory. How could she not bow down to him?
With the Marines under her command, Sarila and Jiang Fei followed the Star Guards to the Carldish Fortress on their spaceship. Obviously, they could not keep the cruiser that they had fought so hard for.
"What do we do later?" Jiang Fei asked.
"I'm not sure. Let's listen to their arrangements." Sarila shook her head. Once they arrived at the Carldish Fortress, they would have to follow the orders of the senior officers.
"You guys can rest here for a while. Although the conditions are limited, you can still take a hot bath and eat something. If you need anything, you can send someone to look for me. My name is Trunks." The Valsalrian officer's attitude towards Sarila was not bad.
"Thanks a lot!" Sarila and Jiang Fei nodded to Trunks and thanked him. Then, they ordered their subordinates to move freely.
After experiencing a life and death battle, the Marines were already physically and mentally exhausted. Now that they could take a hot bath and eat something, it was like heaven for them.
"What do you think Aino will do to us?" After all the soldiers had left, Jiang Fei and Sarila sat at a table and began to chat while drinking something.
"I'm not sure, but I don't think we can get that cruiser back." Sarila shook her head. She seemed very depressed.
Although Alexis had given Sarila away as a gift, he had treated her very well. The two of them still had a bit of a father-daughter relationship. Now that Alexis's life was in danger and the 13th Division was almost wiped out, Sarila was very sad.
"Those are all worldly possessions. The key now is what we should do in the future," Jiang Fei shrugged. Jiang Fei shrugged. Ever since he became Theon's disciple, he had completely transformed from a country bumpkin to a tycoon. Although a Heavy Cruiser was expensive, it was about the same as his super shuttle, so Jiang Fei didn't really feel the pinch.
"It's hard to say. That old man Aino doesn't like us. Now that we're down and out, I don't think he has any good plans for us." Sarila frowned.
"We'll see …" Jiang Fei shook his head. At the same time, he made a decision in his heart. If that old man Aino knew what was good for him, then it would be fine. But if he still wanted to trick him, then Jiang Fei would have to ask Theon to steal from him a few more times.
For three days in a row, Jiang Fei, Sarila, and the others seemed to have been forgotten. They lived happily in the Carldish Fortress. In their assigned station, Jiang Fei and the others could do whatever they wanted. All kinds of daily necessities were prepared. They were treated very well.
However, they were not allowed to leave the area where they were stationed. Jiang Fei and Sarila could understand this kind of house arrest. After all, they were outsiders and not Aino's direct subordinates. Although they all belonged to the Valsalrian Army, it was normal for the Valsalrians to be wary of them since they seemed to be on good terms.
Although it was understandable, after a long time, the feeling of being locked up was something that no one would feel good about.
"Can you find Trunks? I want to see him. " In desperation, Sarila thought of the officer who brought them here. After all, that guy had said before that she could look for him if she needed anything. Even if he was just being polite, Sarila still wanted to try her luck.
A few hours later, Trunks appeared in front of Sarila and Jiang Fei.
"What's wrong? Do you need anything from me? Is it because I'm not a good host? Let me know if you need anything. "Trunks was very polite.
"That's not possible. We just want to know how you plan to settle us down. We can't live here forever. If it doesn't work, we can always return to Crimson Stone." Jiang Fei had talked to Sarila earlier, so he was telling her exactly what she was thinking.
"Sarila, how have you been these few days? I heard that you Kate people like to eat a fish called the Hound of the Lake. I've already ordered it from 15 galaxies away. It should be delivered tomorrow! " However, Trunks did not care about Jiang Fei at all. He only cared about Sarila, the cat-eared girl.
