Five days later, Jiang Fei's trip to the Valsalrians ended because Velon, who was disguised as Sadira, had given the Valsalrians an ultimatum. If they insisted on forming an alliance with the Trade Federation, then the Holy Advent Emissaries would no longer provide military assistance to the Valsalrians.
Naturally, the Valsalrians had no other choice. Their alliance with the Trade Federation was only to appease the Trade Federation, but the alliance with the Holy Advent Emissaries was related to their own interests.
Since there was no need to form an alliance with the Trade Federation, Jiang Fei's status as the Trade Federation's emissary had become insignificant. Aino could even kill Jiang Fei, but Theon's name was still very useful. For the sake of Jiang Fei's status as a Hermit, the higher-ups of the Valsalrians naturally would not do anything to him.
Of course, if these guys knew that Jiang Fei was also a Hermit, they would probably not dare to slight him like they did now.
After leaving planet Mengsk, Jiang Fei did not enjoy the same grand treatment as before. The people who came to see him off were only a few small deacons from the Valsalrians' Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There was not even a single official.
However, Jiang Fei did not care about this. Although he did not achieve the purpose of his visit this time, because he met Velon, Jiang Fei finally understood the whole story. Although the entire universe would become a playground for the "players" and the universe war would become their plaything, there was at least one good thing. Just like Velon said, the game's existence had been greatly extended.
If the "players" were to unify the universe, then the game would be more like a multiplayer "single-player game". Because the "players" grew at a super-fast rate, they would soon be able to complete the game.
However, after it became a PvP game, if the "Development Team" operated it properly, then the game could be played forever. After all, both sides were "players". As long as the "Development Team" was balanced, both sides would occasionally have the upper hand, but no one would win completely.
After the game's duration was extended, Jiang Fei naturally had more time to prepare for his own matters, which was very beneficial to him.
After flying for a few days, Jiang Fei finally met up with his own fleet.
"Honey, how did the trip go?" Bella asked.
"Hey! Let's go back and talk! " After Jiang Fei parked the shuttle, he brought the group of girls back to the bridge and told them everything that had happened.
"Fei, what do you plan to do next?" Nina asked.
"I haven't decided yet." Jiang Fei waved his hand.
"I think we might as well be independent!" Aurelia suddenly said.
"Independence?" Everyone, including Jiang Fei, looked at Aurelia in confusion.
"En!" Aurelia nodded, then said to everyone, "According to what Hoodlum just said, I'm afraid that the 'players' behind the light film will soon contact the Trade Federation. According to the character of the Trade Federation's merchants, this alliance is almost certain to succeed."
Aurelia's analysis was indeed very reasonable. The reason why the Development Team had classified the Trade Federation and the players who had first entered this universe as one force was because this group of profiteers only cared about profit and didn't care about hatred or anything else.
If it was the Valsalrians, they had lost so many warships and soldiers at the hands of the players. This hatred would not be appeased at all. Even if the players took the initiative to show goodwill, the people of the Valsalrians would fight to the end.
Although the Valsalrians were a bandit organization, one had to admit that they were extremely courageous and loyal.
But the Trade Federation was different. The profiteers only cared about profit. As long as the profit was big enough, hatred and blood debts were not important!
"That seems to be the case …" The others agreed with Aurelia's analysis.
"That's right. But the merchants can form an alliance with those murderous' players, 'but Hoodlum definitely won't tolerate it, right?" Aurelia said, glancing at Jiang Fei.
"Yeah! I will not form an alliance with them! " Jiang Fei nodded. It was impossible for him to form an alliance with the "players", even if the "players" provided him with more advanced warships.
"So, we are not on the same side as the Trade Federation," Aurelia said.
"But after we become independent, how are we going to survive in the cracks between the rebels and the Imperial Army?" Isabella asked.
"That's right. Moreover, more than half of the captains in our fleet are the children of unscrupulous merchants. I don't think they would agree to our independence, would they?" Si Tuying also felt that independence was not an easy matter.
"It's precisely because we are in the cracks that these two forces will be evenly matched under the Development Team's balance that our existence will be more valuable," Aurelia said. Soon, the entire universe would become a tripartite situation. Although Jiang Fei's group was very weak, they would be the last straw that would affect the balance. That was why it was particularly important.
However, Aurelia obviously also noticed the problem raised by Si Tuying. She then frowned and said, "The problem of those captains really needs to be solved. So, I hope that Hoodlum can get the technology for the 'players' warships, the technology for a person to pilot a large warship."
"I can try that," Jiang Fei nodded. According to Velon, the game mode of the 'players' was about to become a faction battle mode. Therefore, their warships would soon be popularized. When that time came, the technology would also be popularized accordingly. Jiang Fei could definitely ask Velon to get a copy for him.
As long as everyone else was also using this kind of warship, Jiang Fei would also be able to use it. The Development Team would not pay attention to him.
"If you can get your hands on this technology, then the problem of the captains will almost be solved," Aurelia said.
"How?" Ariel asked.
"Although most of those captains are from rich families, and they probably won't follow us to become independent, there are also some who are from poor families. In order to stand out, they will, of course, look for a rising force. You know, the path of promotion in the Trade Federation has basically been controlled by those rich families. So, the probability of them choosing us is very high," Aurelia analyzed.
Although the number of these captains who came from humble backgrounds was not many, only about one-tenth of the total number of captains, these people often had real skills. With them as the commander of a small fleet, even if the captains of other ships didn't know how to command, they wouldn't make any big mistakes.
