The reason why Balon was able to borrow this fleet had something to do with his status in the Alien Management Department.
But the main reason is because he has a bad temper and a surly personality. No one wants to offend such a mentally ill person.
Also, the nature of Rhodiola's team is in line with the fleet's combat objectives, and they are all located in the asteroid belt.
The combination of these three factors allowed him to borrow this fleet in his own name.
But even so, he couldn't afford the consequences of the fleet's destruction - even if it was a tragic victory, he would have enough room for maneuver.
It was precisely because of this that in the end he didn't want to live anymore and insisted on challenging Qu Jianlei to a duel.
Of course, with this guy's arrogant character, he probably wouldn't be able to accept such a disastrous defeat calmly.
So it's not surprising that he would go all out to save face.
In addition, Qu Jianlei also deliberately learned about the origins of the two armed merchant ships.
The two starships are indeed related to the Flying Eagle Group and are temporarily employed.
However, these resources were also brought together by Balon.
Feiying knew that he had offended the Rhodiola rosea team and was about to face retaliation. He was determined to compensate honestly, but he was a little unwilling to do so.
At this time, Balon sent a message, saying that he can recommend two armed merchant ships to participate, and you can pay a nominal fee.
Naturally, Feiying didn't have the guts to offend him - compared to the Rhodiola team, Balon seemed to be stronger.
Anyway, they are struggling in their hearts, so it is normal to take this opportunity to participate.
So the Flying Eagle Group agreed half-heartedly, and when the 8384 ship arrived, they cooperated very well to compensate.
In fact, this is the nature of a businessman. There is usually a lot of robbery, but when you encounter someone you can't afford, it's not uncommon to bet on both sides.
However, Qu Jianlei's asking price was still a bit beyond their expectations.
So Fei Ying secretly delayed for a while to facilitate Baron's layout.
This is the general situation of the entire incident, and there is no need to go into more details.
After Qu Jianlei understood what had happened, he left the fate of these prisoners to the paranoid and the flower scorpion.
He knew very well how ruthless these two people were, but he didn't feel the slightest regret in his heart.
After this battle, the entire team suffered heavy losses. Someone has to pay the price, right?
The paranoid readily accepted the arrangement, "What the people in the Alien Management Department do...haha, it's more inhumane than you think."
Four days later, the three starships completed the jump and headed straight for Tianfeng.
But this time, Qu Jianlei could no longer take out the military's special pass.
When the ominous ship was still half a day away from Tianfeng, it was intercepted by an armed starship.
However, although it is said to be an armed starship, it is actually related to the military at a glance.
It can be seen from the appearance that this starship is more than 90% similar to a warship.
Even the painting is so careless, just apply it in a pretentious manner and it's done.
However, it is actually understandable for the military to do this. The current situation in the Skyhook Star Territory is really a bit chaotic.
The military must show cooperation everywhere, but it really doesn't have the energy to send warships to inspect.
The key is that once a warship is dispatched, people who don't know the truth are likely to misinterpret it - or over-interpret it.
So it is better to outsource the inspection tasks and save yourself the worry.
However, when it comes to "outsourcing", everyone knows that there is no way that the truly in-demand jobs will be lost to outsiders!
The attitude of the armed starship was very blunt, and he said very simply, "Stop the ship and accept inspection!"
As for what qualifications it has to inspect foreign starships, there is no explanation at all, as if it is a matter of course.
Qu Jianlei also changed his previous attitude and did not raise any questions.
The other party's attitude was quite blunt, but at least it was okay. There was a pass to the Hope Star Territory on the ominous ship.
This pass was invalid in the Skyhook Star Territory, but it was better than nothing, and Qu Jianlei also showed it conveniently.
The documents can at least prove that this starship has some credibility within a certain area!
After checking the documents, the other party asked, "Why are you here?"
Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "There is Tiangou Mi Mansion here, come and take a look."
This answer was actually quite vague. He didn't explain what he planned to see, let alone why he came to Mi Mansion.
Is there a junior in the family who wants to intern, or someone is planning to break out of the situation and want to find an opportunity.
However, this kind of ambiguity is the normal reaction of people in society - I have given the answer, but if you ask in detail, it will be a taboo.
The person on the other side really didn't pursue the matter further, and just snorted disdainfully, "Mifu...how much do you know?"
Then the voice became cold and stern again, "Okay, open the hatch, we have to check."
Qu Jianlei has been sailing in the interstellar space for so long, but he has never had his starship inspected. This is the first time for a young lady to board a sedan chair.
This feeling was very bad, but he also knew that this was unavoidable in ordinary people's interstellar voyages.
And with his current status, when encountering something like this, it is a normal reaction to cooperate obediently.
Anyway, it was just this once, it didn't matter, so he opened the hatch.
The bridge docked, and five people walked up from the opposite side, led by a B-class awakener.
Don't underestimate the B-level. In this situation, having a B-level is already a big deal. Usually a C-level is enough.
This also means that the situation here is probably a bit tense recently, otherwise this configuration would not appear.
The five people came in and were stunned, "Is it so empty?"
The ominous ship is a merchant ship with reinforced armor. The space is slightly smaller, but the cabin can easily accommodate twenty or thirty crew members.
Generally speaking, this kind of armed merchant ship should be equipped with at least a dozen crew members. Manpower shortage will lead to shortage of personnel.
Theoretically, one person can operate a starship, but this is simply impossible.
The inspectors were quite surprised to see that there were only three crew members in the huge starship.
This configuration can barely meet the minimum configuration for interstellar navigation, but... what if a battle breaks out?
Hua Scorpion frowned when he heard this, "Since you are here for inspection, then stop talking nonsense!"
Her A-level aura can't be concealed from others, and she is considered to have the highest level of cultivation among the three.
Qu Jianlei pretended to be a B-level water attribute, and his paranoia was even more extreme. He didn't have the aura of an awakener at all, and he felt like a reformed warrior.
The B-class leading the team is not worried about an accident. As things have developed so far, everything is normal.
He checked a lot of people, and it wasn't like he had never seen Class A. Most of the time, no one would make trouble at this time.
However, it is best not to completely ignore what Class A says.
He stopped asking about the crew and waved his hand, "Okay, open the cargo hold!"
Naturally, there was nothing abnormal in the inspection, even though they were angry and deliberately checked carefully.
There are not many things in the cargo hold, namely energy blocks, ammunition, daily necessities and some industrial materials.
When they asked why they loaded them, Qu Jianlei lazily replied, "We use them ourselves."
There's nothing wrong with that. Even though it's an armed merchant ship, it doesn't mean it has to carry cargo - don't people like space travel?
The key is that without any prohibited items, there is no chance to make a fuss.
Moreover, the person who answered is also a B-class. The three crew members are a bit short, but with A-class and B-class, the strength is really not bad.
Someone was careful and noticed that the weapon system was a little strange, so he asked in a deep voice, "Have you fired recently?"
The three crew members didn't say anything, they just looked at him coldly, the meaning was obvious - whether we fired too much is none of your business!
In fact, this anomaly is worth catching and investigating carefully.
But it's obvious that these three are really not good friends, and this merchant ship... just from the armor, you can tell that they are not short of money.
So the Class B waved his hand and left with the others.
However, there is still a trace of resentment in some people's eyes, and they don't know if they will arrange someone to take revenge at the Star Port.
After closing the hatch, Hua Xiezi sighed deeply, "I still miss the military pass a little bit."
The gap between those with documents and those without documents was so obvious that Qu Jianlei could only smile helplessly when he heard this.
He didn't want to give up a peaceful life, but unfortunately, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind didn't stop, so Balon insisted on climbing the pole to find trouble.
After this encounter, there was no other trouble, and they arrived above Tianfeng Star.
There are several more warships outside Tianfeng Star, suspended in space, adding a bit of a chilling atmosphere to the entire planet.
According to the procedure, if the ominous ship wants to land, it must issue a landing application and undergo inspection again.
But Qu Jianlei didn't do that. He secretly ordered Xiao Hu, "Search for news on the planet."
The starship is now 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers away from the planet, and is already in a state of smooth communication.
Before Qu Jianlei left, he left two Forerunners with the old lady and the others. Among other things, long-distance communication was no problem.
The big-headed butterfly turned a few times and then replied, "They left a message and have left Tianfeng."
A Forerunner was hidden in an abandoned house and connected to a battery, working with minimal energy consumption.
That abandoned house was two hundred kilometers away from the yard where they rented, so one can imagine that they left quite calmly.
"Went to the transit star with a false identity?" Qu Jianlei frowned, "Let's see what news there is about us."
This time, Xiaohu took almost five minutes to answer this question.
"There is no clear news, but there is a secret message. All kinds of special passes must be strictly checked and reported in time."
"Oh, by the way, this request appeared five days ago... This is more consistent with the time of our battle."
"There's no need to guess," the paranoid said in time, "the information must have been sent back!"
"It's just that the military is not sure about the results of the war, and they don't want to be laughed at for the certificates they issued... They won't be very cooperative with the Alien Affairs Department."
He is quite familiar with the relationship between the military and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"It spread really fast," Qu Jianlei muttered softly.
But now he has no intention of thinking about how this news came, "Since they have left, we won't land anymore!"
