"What? There's such a thing? "Jiang Fei was shocked. He did not expect happiness to come so suddenly.
Jiang Fei had been trying his best to enter the players' safe zone. However, the golden light barrier was too strong, so he had never been able to do so. He did not expect Velon to give him the chance to do so.
"But don't get too excited. Even if you enter the safe zone, it will not be easy to enter the Gamma Space through the portal." Velon poured a bucket of cold water on Jiang Fei.
"Yeah …" Jiang Fei sighed. He knew that entering the safe zone did not mean that he could enter the Gamma Space. Otherwise, Velon would have just teleported to the Gamma Space. That way, he would be free.
But no matter what, at least he was one step closer to his goal. Although entering the safe zone did not mean that he could enter the Gamma Space, at least he could see what the portal looked like. It would also give him a better understanding of the portal. Although he might not be able to figure out the conditions required to enter the portal, at least it would give him a chance to get closer to the portal.
"Oh right, there's one more thing." Velon seemed to have suddenly remembered something.
"Something else?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Yeah! And it's something good. "Not only did Velon not tell Jiang Fei immediately, but he also kept him in suspense.
"What is it?" Jiang Fei asked.
"You have played games before. You should know that allied high-tier NPCs can give 'players' quests, right?" Velon said as he raised his eyebrows.
"Huh?!" Jiang Fei's eyes widened. He really did not expect this. Although Jiang Fei had pretended to be an NPC on Planet Aiur and gave the "players" quests, he was only lying. He did not expect that this time, it would be for real!
Jiang Fei was now the commander of the Alliance's fleet. He was almost the equivalent of a General in the Trade Federation. To the 'players', he was definitely a high-tier NPC. So, it was not a problem for him to give the 'players' quests.
"But when you give them quests, you have to pay attention. If they complete the quest, the reward must be paid!" Velon said seriously.
"I know!" Jiang Fei did not want to attract the attention of the "Development Team". Therefore, he would not go back on his word. However, if the "players" died in the quest, they could not blame him!
At this moment, Jiang Fei had already thought of an evil plan. Since he was the one who issued the mission, if he colluded with the Valsalrian army, it would be easy for them to ambush the players' fleet. By then, they could let the two groups of players fight each other. This would also reduce the casualties of the real soldiers.
"As for the specifics, I'll leave it to you. However, you must remember what I'm about to say!" Velon said with a serious expression.
"What is it?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Don't let Natasha lose interest in this game, and don't let her lose interest in you!" Velen said.
"Natasha? Why? " Jiang Fei was very confused. In his opinion, Natasha was just a spoiled little girl. Moreover, she was a little fangirl. He could not tell what she was capable of at all.
"You don't have to ask too many questions. I will tell you when the time comes. However, remember what I said just now!" Velon still did not tell Jiang Fei why he valued Natasha so much.
"Alright!" Jiang Fei nodded. As Velon's interests were one with his, he believed that Velon would not cheat him at a time like this.
After that, Jiang Fei and Velon chatted for a while more, and the meeting between the two officially ended.
When Jiang Fei returned to Lockster's office, he asked anxiously, "Ah Fei, how was it? What did that guy think of you? "
"The alliance between the two sides has basically been finalized. As for how to form a cosmic empire, I'll leave it to you guys. I'm only in charge of military matters. Politics has nothing to do with me!" Jiang Fei said calmly.
"Good! I knew you wouldn't let me down! " Lockster laughed. He was very satisfied with Jiang Fei's answer. They really did not need a politician. After all, the profiteers had already divided the profits. They could not allow Jiang Fei to take a share of the profits.
Now that Jiang Fei had announced that he was only in charge of military matters, politics had nothing to do with him. This meant that Jiang Fei was only going to be a hired thug for the cosmic empire. He would not be involved in how the empire was built or how the profits were divided.
"However, I hope that you guys will not interfere too much with the actual deployment of the fleet." Jiang Fei's meaning was clear. The profiteers were in charge of politics. They would decide whether or not to fight and who to fight. As for how to fight and how to deploy the fleet, that was all up to Jiang Fei.
In the beginning, Jiang Fei did not even think about taking control of the Trade Federation's military. Even after he decided to be independent, Jiang Fei did not care about it. The Trade Federation only wanted him to be the Grand Marshal in name. The actual deployment of the fleet was still under the control of the profiteers.
However, after listening to Velon's explanation, Jiang Fei knew that he had to stay in the Trade Federation. Only then would he be able to infiltrate the safe zone of the 'players'. This way, Jiang Fei would no longer be satisfied with being a mere puppet.
"This …" Lockster was a little dumbfounded. He did not expect Jiang Fei to take the opportunity to ask for real power, let alone full command of the military.
"Sir, you don't have to answer me immediately. You can go back and have a meeting. You can also ask Sarnagar for his opinion," Jiang Fei said calmly. Because Elutha was Velon, Jiang Fei was sure that Velon would cooperate with him.
When the time came, as long as Velon insisted that the fleet must be under Jiang Fei's command, the profiteers would have to compromise no matter what. After all, they wanted to expand their strength and build their own empire. They would definitely need Sarnagar's support.
"Ah Fei, it seems that I have underestimated you …" Lockster sighed. From Jiang Fei's tone, he could tell that Jiang Fei was determined to win this time.
"Sir, I don't mean anything else. I just don't want an outsider to command an insider." Jiang Fei shrugged.
"Alright, let's have a meeting. I will give you an answer later," Lockster said. He could not make the decision on his own. He needed to discuss it with the other executives of the Trade Federation.
"No problem, Sir Lockster. I will stay on Planet Bizenis for three days. After that, I will return to the fleet." Jiang Fei turned around and left Lockster's office.
"Sigh! I really don't know if it was the right decision to ask this kid to come. "Lockster sighed.
