Marrus waited for Jiang Fei's escort fleet to arrive. Although he was still a little dissatisfied, the arrival date could not be delayed. So, he still had to set off.
After watching Marrus' fleet set sail, Aurelia sent more than a dozen lone-star unmanned reconnaissance ships to follow behind, waiting for the "players" to take the bait.
"Husband, do you think there's hope this time?" Bella asked beside Jiang Fei.
"I'm not sure if the 'players' will appear, but if they do, I believe Aurelia will give me a satisfactory answer!" Jiang Fei laughed.
"I hope so!" Bella sighed. The matter about the "players" was like a big mountain, pressing on the hearts of those who knew about it.
Jiang Fei turned to Aurelia, who was sitting in the captain's seat of the Dawn Vessel, and asked, "By the way, Aurelia, what's the situation with the warships you sent this time?"
"They are all elites that I have carefully selected during this time! Whether it is the Grizzly Bear Heavy Cruiser or those auxiliary ships, they are all fierce characters who can fight! "Aurelia said.
"Husband, this is a bait mission. If we let these elites carry out the mission, won't we lose a lot if we lose them?" Ariel asked from the side.
"Of course not!" Aurelia took the initiative to answer. After all, the candidates were personally decided by her.
"Isn't it?" Ariel asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, you overestimate the combat power of those 'players'. Although they have now changed their equipment, they are still no match for the regular army. Otherwise, they would not have targeted merchant ships! So, although these Grizzly Bears may not be able to annihilate those 'players,' they can retreat unscathed and delay until our main force arrives! "Aurelia explained.
"So that's how it is!" Ariel nodded.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that those 'players' have also obtained heavy cruisers and battleships, but those are things for a small number of high-ranking 'players.' How can ordinary 'players' have so much money!" Jiang Fei laughed. Although these "players" had unlocked the technological lock because of the discovery of the ruins, most of them could not afford to buy a high-tier warship. If everyone drove a battleship, then where would the "tycoon players" find a sense of superiority?
Ever since the caravan set sail, time had passed. However, everything on the interstellar route seemed to be very peaceful. The "players" who always came out to plunder seemed to have collectively rested today. Not even a shadow came out.
Some traditional pirates did not dare to act rashly after seeing that the caravan was escorted by a Grizzly Bear Heavy Cruiser.
Just like that, the tense but peaceful first day passed. The caravan had traveled through about one-fifth of the Razi Galaxy, and everything was safe and sound.
On the second day, the caravan on the interstellar voyage was still safe and sound. This made many of the rich second generations in Jiang Fei's fleet begin to relax. They even handed over the battleship to their adjutant for temporary command while they themselves left the bridge.
On the third day, almost one-third of the captains in Jiang Fei's fleet began to slack off. Aurelia did not seem to care about this. After all, the operation of a battleship did not completely rely on the captain. Even if these rich second generations stayed in their rooms and slept, the battleship would still operate normally under the control of the clone warriors. It was just that in battle, some things that needed to be judged and made timely decisions could not be decided on their own.
On the fourth day, the caravan had traveled more than half of the journey. In another two days, they would be able to pass through the dangerous Razi Galaxy.
However, on this day, one of the Lone Star unmanned reconnaissance ships in front of them suddenly lost contact!
"Something's wrong! Madam Aurelia, one of my Lone Stars has disappeared! "The intelligence officer in charge of operating the Lone Star unmanned reconnaissance ship said to Aurelia.
"Coordinates!" Aurelia immediately asked.
"In the fourth sector of the Morninglight Galaxy!" The intelligence officer immediately displayed the position of the Lone Star he was controlling on the star map.
"Hehe, it seems that the person we've been waiting for is here!" Aurelia smiled slightly. The position where the Lone Star disappeared was in the front left of the caravan's route. Moreover, it was an asteroid belt, very suitable for ambushes.
One had to know that in the era of spaceflight where high-frequency radars were very common, it was quite difficult for a fleet to ambush. Unless they had technology that far surpassed other forces and built a spaceship that could not be detected by radar, it would not be easy to ambush others.
In space stations, the usual method of ambushing was to use natural celestial bodies to conceal oneself. Therefore, the back of a planet or an asteroid belt became the best place for warships to hide.
On the back of a planet or in an asteroid belt, relying on celestial bodies to hide oneself, and then completely shutting down the engine, shield, and weapon system, letting the spaceship float quietly in space. This way, one could basically avoid the other party's scanning.
When the other party got close to a certain extent, the engine would suddenly ignite and the shield would be activated, catching the other party off guard.
However, because energy weapons needed to be warmed up and fire-control radars needed time to start up, the ambushed fleet was not without time to react. As long as the response was appropriate and the strength difference between the two sides was not too great, even if they were ambushed, there was still a chance to retreat.
However, this was based on the situation where the strength of both sides was equal. Once the other party's fleet was far stronger than their own, there was nothing they could do when they were ambushed. After all, it would take a long time to change the course of the fleet and turn on the warp engine, which was enough time for the other party to launch an attack.
When the caravan was ambushed by pirates, it was a situation like this. If they fought, they would definitely not be able to win. It would be too late to turn around and escape, so the outcome was obvious.
"Now that we've confirmed that those 'players' are hiding in that asteroid belt, what should we do? Cut off their escape route? "Jiang Fei asked.
"That's not good! We'll go over from the flank to support them and leave them a way to call for help! " Aurelia was obviously more insidious than Jiang Fei. Her appetite was not only the 'players' hiding in the asteroid belt. She also intended to besiege them and attack the reinforcements, eliminating more 'players' in one go!
After making up her mind, Aurelia began to deploy troops.
"Ships 105, 106, and 107, immediately warp to position XXX, XXX, XXX, and launch a surprise attack straight ahead in 15 minutes!" This time, Aurelia called out the names of the three idiot captains and the auxiliary ships under their command.
"Ships 072 to 085 and their respective fleets will warp in 30 minutes. Coordinates YYY, YYY, YYY. After the warp is completed, immediately launch a fierce attack to the left front! Annihilate the enemy as much as possible! " This second batch of heavy patrol ships was Aurelia's trump card. They would be responsible for annihilating the 'players' who ambushed the caravan.
