After almost a month of interstellar travel, Jiang Fei and the others finally crossed the Domini System and entered the territory of the Valsalrian Army.
"You guys have fun, I have to go to the cockpit," Jiang Fei said to the girls. As they had already entered the territory of the Valsalrian Army, they could encounter enemies at any time, so Jiang Fei could no longer rely on autopilot to control the spaceship.
Although with Jiang Fei's strength, even if he encountered a fleet, he could escape unscathed. The problem was that the scout ship he was sitting on was not that strong. If the scout ship was destroyed, even if Jiang Fei protected the girls, they would still be trapped in the void.
One had to know that in the boundless space, human strength was too small. Even the strongest of the strongest could not travel through space alone, let alone Jiang Fei with a group of girls. Therefore, Jiang Fei had to be vigilant in case he broke into the enemy's encirclement.
After entering the cockpit, Jiang Fei released all his mental strength. His divine sense radiated like a tide, and coupled with the powerful radar system of the scout ship, not a single trace of the surroundings could escape Jiang Fei's eyes.
In the first few interstellar jumps, everything went smoothly for Jiang Fei and the others. They did not encounter the slightest obstruction. This was mainly due to Aurelia's strength. In the past year or so, the fleet led by Aurelia had wreaked havoc in the hinterland of the Valsalrian Empire.
Because of the "actor" Velon, Aurelia could always avoid the main force of the rebel army and loot the hinterland of the Valsalrian Army. It stood to reason that Aurelia, who graduated from a regular military school, would not attack civilian planets, but the situation in front of her was not up to her.
Since they were fighting behind enemy lines, it was impossible for Aurelia to get supplies from her own side. Therefore, if she wanted to maintain the combat effectiveness of her fleet, she had to fight to sustain herself. Therefore, combat supplies had to be taken care of on the spot.
However, attacking a fortress planet with only a fleet that could not be replenished was no different from courting death. Even if they could win once or twice, Aurelia's fleet would suffer heavy losses. So, in the end, Aurelia chose to target those administrative planets.
Although these administrative planets also had a certain level of defense, it was impossible for the local garrison fleets to stop Aurelia's ferocious army. So, every time Aurelia's fleet arrived, the administrative planet would quickly fall and become a temporary supply point for the Aurelia fleet.
In the end, these administrative planets simply stopped resisting. Anyway, they couldn't resist, so they just let their garrison fleets die in vain. After all, those soldiers were from their native planets. If they suffered heavy casualties, the citizens of the planet would be dissatisfied. They couldn't retaliate against Aurelia's fleet, but they could impeach the government of the administrative planet. So, in order to keep their votes, the governments of these administrative planets simply didn't resist. Anyway, Aurelia's fleet wouldn't burn, kill, or loot. As long as they replenished their supplies, they would leave.
The administrative planets in the territory stopped resisting one after another. This made the Valsalrian Army's higher-ups feel extremely embarrassed. However, when they blamed those administrative planets, they had a very good reason. If the army's main fleet could not stop the invaders, what could the local garrison fleets do to resist?
In order to save face, the higher-ups of the Valsalrian Army had no choice but to mobilize all their fleets to encircle Aurelia. However, because of the existence of Velen, the "actor," these encirclement and suppression were naturally unsuccessful.
It was precisely because Aurelia was too fierce in the hinterland of the Valsalrian Army that the Valsalrian Army dispatched their fleet to encircle and suppress her. That was why Jiang Fei could slip into the Valsalrian Army's territory so easily.
However, when Jiang Fei passed through a few galaxies and began to approach the hinterland of the Valsalrian Army, he felt the pressure.
In order to prevent Aurelia's fleet from wandering in the hinterland of the army, the Valsalrian Army had arranged a number of local fleets near the stargate in the hinterland. Although these fleets could not repel Aurelia's army, they could more or less delay them to buy time for the main fleet to arrive.
These local fleets were not worth mentioning in the eyes of Aurelia, but it was different for Jiang Fei. He was only sitting on a scout ship. Although it had been modified, it was still just a scout ship. It couldn't withstand a round of attacks from the enemy at all.
Therefore, Jiang Fei had to carefully pass through the stargate, and then use the scout ship's characteristics such as small target, high speed, flexible turning, and fast start of the warp engine to escape the enemy's lock.
Jiang Fei piloted the scout ship back and forth in the hinterland of the Valsalrian Army. Every time he reached a galaxy, he would send out a communication signal, trying to establish contact with Aurelia. However, after three days, Jiang Fei still had no results.
"Damn it! Why is there such a large fleet here … "Just as Jiang Fei was about to pass through the stargate and go to the next galaxy, a large group of red dots appeared on the scout ship's radar, and these red dots were near the stargate.
"Bella, you guys stay here first. I'll go over there and see what's going on!" Jiang Fei did not dare to fly the spacecraft any closer, because if he did, his scout ship would appear on the enemy's radar.
"Okay! Go ahead! "Bella agreed, then took Xue Ji to the cockpit.
Because there was a strong person like Xue Ji escorting the scout ship, Jiang Fei could leave with peace of mind. After he came out of the scout ship, he flew in the direction of the stargate. However, because he did not have the spacecraft's boost, Jiang Fei's speed was much slower.
A few hours later, Jiang Fei finally approached the stargate. The battleships were densely lined up near the stargate, and they were already in an attack position. Obviously, they were preparing to ambush the enemy.
"Huh?!" Jiang Fei frowned. In the hinterland of the Valsalrian Army, their only enemy was Aurelia's fleet. Could it be that these guys were preparing to ambush Aurelia?
Time passed, but there was no movement on the other side of the stargate. Instead, the battleships in front of Jiang Fei began to get restless.
"General, is our intelligence accurate? Will Aurelia's fleet really come here? " A commander of a sub-fleet asked in the communication, because it was already past the time described in the intelligence.
"The intelligence is absolutely accurate! Everyone, wait patiently! " Said the general of the Valsalrian Army. In fact, he was not very sure, but this intelligence was given to him by Aino, one of the higher-ups of the army, so he chose to believe it.
