Soon after the adjutant passed down the order, Bison arrived at Jiang Fei's flagship. Not only did he come, but more than 20,000 Marines under Jiang Fei's command were also there. The Hypercruiser they were on had already joined the Fifth Fleet.
"Sir, are we going to act?" Bison asked while rubbing his palms. After all, after arriving at C195, he had been neglected as Jiang Fei's number one fighter for too long.
"Well, pass down the order. Let the Marines be ready to fight at any time." Jiang Fei nodded. After Bison left, he asked the adjutant to call Aurelia over.
"Ah Fei, you're looking for me?" Aurelia had been living a good life in the Fifth Fleet. At least she didn't have the suffocating feeling she had when she was in the Aldera Empire.
"Well, we may have to fight, but I have to tell you about the enemy." Jiang Fei spoke very slowly because he was sorting out his words. After all, among the enemies in this operation, it was likely that Aurelia's motherland, the Aldera Empire, was among them.
Because the reputation of the Aldera Empire had already been increased by the 'players', there was no guarantee that the Aldera Empire's shadow was involved in this large-scale mobilization of the 'players'.
With Aurelia's wisdom, she guessed the enemy as soon as she saw Jiang Fei's hesitant look.
"Ah Fei, if the enemies we're facing this time include the Aldera Empire, I hope you can help me avoid arousing suspicion. I'm worried that I'll be emotional and go easy on the Aldera Empire." Aurelia was very magnanimous. Although she had joined Jiang Fei's camp, the Aldera Empire was, after all, the motherland that gave birth to and raised her. She immediately turned her gun against her motherland. Although Aurelia was known as the Ice Queen, she just didn't like to be close to people in character. She was not completely inhumane.
"Well, if we encounter the Aldera Empire's fleet, I'll allow you to withdraw from the battle. But before that, I hope you can command the Fifth Fleet for me," Jiang Fei said after a moment of contemplation.
Although Aurelia couldn't attack the Aldera Empire, she had no problem dealing with those "players." Although these guys were allies of the Aldera Empire, from the beginning to the end, Aurelia didn't approve of forming an alliance with these mysterious guys. Unfortunately, the decision of the higher-ups wasn't up to her.
The reason why Jiang Fei trusted Aurelia was because he had no other choice. Jiang Fei knew what he was capable of. He could charge and break through enemy lines and fight face-to-face, but he was really not good at commanding a fleet in battle.
As an Earthling, Jiang Fei had never seen a spaceship for more than 90% of his life. He had only been in space for a few days and watched two battle videos. Jiang Fei did not think that he could become an all-powerful general on the battlefield.
The stories of those chess masters and Go prodigies who traveled to ancient times and became scholars had always been fairy tales to deceive children. Moreover, Jiang Fei wasn't even good at chess.
Leaving professional matters to professionals was one of Jiang Fei's creeds in life.
"Well, okay." Aurelia nodded. Faced with her sweetheart's request, she really couldn't refuse.
A few hours later, the Fifth Fleet was ready to set off at any time. As he was afraid that Aurelia would not be able to convince the masses, Jiang Fei asked her to stay on the flagship's bridge and issue orders in Jiang Fei's name.
As for Jiang Fei himself, he went to the Hypercruiser. Leading the Marines in a charge was the most suitable thing for him.
"Captain, there's news from the front. The player's fleet is heading towards the T02 asteroid belt. There's a pirate base called the Giant Star Shark there." 0541 had already calculated the destination of the player's fleet.
"Motherf * cker, this is what these players do when I'm not around?" Jiang Fei cursed under his breath. Obviously, the players were out for another "leveling" event.
"Captain, what should we do? Should we kill them all?" 0541 asked.
"What's the point of killing them? Fighting them will only give them experience. We can't kill them completely. What we need to do is to take drastic measures." Jiang Fei's lips curled into a smile.
"What do you mean?" 0541 did not understand.
"Aurelia, order the fleet to jump immediately. Destination coordinates xxx, xxx, xxx," Jiang Fei sent a message to Aurelia.
"Okay, but why are you going to that pirate base?" Aurelia asked curiously. Although the pirate base was not small, there was no need for a fleet to encircle it. It was like a mosquito making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Of course, I'm going to suppress bandits. I'm a regular soldier of the Trade Federation. It's my duty to clear out the bandits on the sea route." Jiang Fei was just spouting nonsense, but even Jiang Fei himself did not believe this excuse, let alone Aurelia.
"Could it be that there are some rare minerals in that pirate base?" Aurelia was puzzled. Apart from this reason, such a small pirate base could be handled by a Star Guard. Why would there be a need to dispatch a proper fleet, let alone an entire fleet?
"I'll explain the reason to you when I get back. Let's go," Jiang Fei added. "Tell the logistics transport ship to carefully clean up the battlefield after the battle. Not a single screw should be left behind."
The reason why Jiang Fei made such a big fuss was to interfere with the players' leveling. His idea was very simple. Since I can't kill you completely, I'll just steal your kills.
"It seems that there are really treasures in that pirate base." As she did not understand the nature of these mysterious intruders, it was impossible for Aurelia to guess Jiang Fei's purpose. She could only judge based on the information she had, so she was even more certain of the idea in her heart.
Under Aurelia's skillful command, the Fifth Fleet quickly left the port and entered the warp mode.
The reason why Jiang Fei was so confident in stealing the players' "monsters" was mainly because the players' ships were too broken and did not have the ability to warp long distances. Therefore, they had to rely on the main engine to propel slowly to the pirate base.
Jiang Fei, on the other hand, could directly warp and soon arrive at the entrance of the pirate base. Although the Fifth Fleet was a mixed transport fleet, it was still a piece of cake for them to raze a pirate base.
By the time Jiang Fei and the others annihilated the pirates and cleaned up the battlefield, the players' small broken ships might not even be able to arrive in time.
"Hehe, it seems that no matter which world the game companies are, they're all the same. Do you think it's so easy to buy a gold donkey? Don't you still have to walk in the early stages of the game?" Jiang Fei said disdainfully while enjoying the convenience of the warp.
