Chapter 1831: Chapter 1830, the proclamation of war

In the next few days, Eamon really lowered himself and focused on accompanying Jiang Fei to visit his fleet. For a rich second generation like him, it was always others who surrounded him and everyone had to support him, this was the first time he lowered himself to cater to others.
However, to Jiang Fei, he did not care about the so-called sincerity of these “Players”. In the past few days, other than recording the number of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p that had planted the bomb, Jiang Fei also discovered an interesting phenomenon.
The original s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p found in the ruins was much more powerful than the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p sold by the system! The original s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was not as simple as unlocking the technology tree. It seemed to be an enhanced version of a battles.h.i.+p. Moreover, it could not be duplicated. Once it was destroyed.., then, the “Players”could only buy the normal version of the battles.h.i.+p from the system.
This was just like Eamon’s battles.h.i.+p. Although it was also a glory main battles.h.i.+p, it was much stronger than the glory main battles.h.i.+p that Eamon had bought from the ruins, whether it was the strength of the s.h.i.+eld, the firepower, or the strength of the skills, it was almost 30% stronger than the normal glory main battles.h.i.+p.
Not only that, when Jiang Fei boarded the s.h.i.+p for a tour, he also noticed something different. Other than Eamon’s s.h.i.+p, he did not find a super intelligent support system like Raikes on any other s.h.i.+p, this meant that an existence like Raikes would only be equipped on the original main battles.h.i.+p.
As the original s.h.i.+p was used to unlock the technology tree, there was only one of them. Therefore, it was extremely precious. As for the hyperbole cla.s.s battlecruiser, since it was in Jiang Fei’s hands.., this completely cut off the opportunity for “Players”to obtain this type of s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p because they would never be able to unlock the technology tree of this type of s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p again.
“I see. It seems that there is such a benefit to discovering the ruins!”Jiang Fei nodded in his heart. Fortunately, the original versions of the battles.h.i.+ps in Eamon’s hands were all equipped with bombs. As long as Jiang Fei needed them.., then, he could detonate the original versions of the battles.h.i.+ps at any time.
After understanding this, Jiang Fei had another idea. He had to fight for the ruins with the “Players”from both camps. This way, he could reduce the number of main s.h.i.+p models that the “Players”could unlock, at the same time, it could greatly increase his own strength.
As for how to obtain the location of the ruins, that would depend on vinylon. After all, the main quests of the “Players”were all obtained from him. It should not be too difficult for Jiang Fei to learn about it, although it was impossible to always succeed in fighting for the ruins, he would not lose anything even if he failed. Therefore, why would Jiang Fei not be happy with such a deal?
After Jiang Fei stayed in Eamon’s fleet for five days, there was finally news from l.u.s.te. Salnaga’s first batch of supplies had arrived on Planet Pisernes, these supplies included a total of 150 battles.h.i.+ps of various types. Most of them were frigates of various types. There were only about 30 heavy cruisers. There was not even a single main s.h.i.+p.
“Why is the ‘Development Team’so stingy?”Jiang Fei frowned. The number of battles.h.i.+ps was far from what he had imagined.
In Jiang Fei’s imagination, the NPC fleet should be the main force. The “Player fleet”would only be supporting the fleet from the side. Only then would the “Player fleet”show its mobility, only then would they be able to “Perform miracles”on the battlefield.
This was what Jiang Fei thought of as a “Player”. After all, it was the same when he was playing the game. During the war between the two armies, the npcs were evenly matched and fought each other, generally, players would carry out missions to a.s.sa.s.sinate enemy generals. They would not partic.i.p.ate in the battle as soldiers.
Although Jiang Fei’s idea was correct, he had overlooked one thing. The “Development team”had just opened up the faction system. This had resulted in an imbalance in the number of “Players”on both sides, therefore, they had to make use of the power of the npcs to balance the strength of both sides.
On the side of the Resistance Army, although the number of “Players”was still small, the overall strength of the Va.s.sARI fleet was still acceptable because of the large increase in the strength of the Va.s.sari fleet. However, the situation on the imperial army’s side was reversed, after Eron lost the previous battle, he decisively spent money. This allowed his fleet to be replenished overnight.
Last time, Eron’s fleet had suffered a terrible loss. However, that was mainly due to underestimating the enemy and poor command skills. In fact, there was not much difference between the two sides in terms of fleet strength. Now that Eron’s fleet had been replenished.., his fleet alone was almost the same as the resistance army. In order to maintain the balance of the game, the “Development team”naturally could not provide Jiang Fei with more resources.
Therefore, the imperial army and the resistance were the exact opposite. The Imperial Army had the strong player fleet, the weak NPC fleet, and the Resistance Army had the strong NPC fleet and the weak player fleet.
Coupled with the fact that the “Players”were not good at commanding, the overall situation was that the imperial army was slightly weaker while the resistance army was slightly stronger. This was exactly what the “Development team”hoped to see.
This was because the “Players”of the resistance army were all newbies. You had to let them have fun before they would continue playing. If they were beaten up right after they entered the pit, who would continue playing? For an old player like Eamon who was addicted to artistic conception, this was also the time for the “Development team”to kill off the fat sheep. If he was beaten up by other “Players”, would he not spend money to get back at them?
When Eamon got back at them, the new players who had just become addicted to abusing others would experience being raped instead of being raped. Naturally, there would also be “Rich players”who would make money to get back at them. This way, the cycle would begin, the rich players on both sides would take turns to repeat the cycle of being abused and abusing others. Naturally, the “Development team”would also earn a lot of money.
Although Jiang Fei was not very satisfied with the number of “Free battles.h.i.+ps”provided by the “Development team”, the Emperor of the Universe Empire, Rivendell, who had just ascended the throne, seemed to be a little overconfident. On the day that the new battles.h.i.+p arrived.., he had declared war on the Vasari Army through an imperial edict!
“What a bunch of Greedy Devils!”After Jiang Fei received the imperial edict, he could not help but curse in his heart. However, just as he had said before, he did not partic.i.p.ate in political matters. Whether the Universe Empire wanted to fight or not.., as for who to fight in a war, it was up to the politicians to decide. He was only responsible for how to fight and how to win.
Now that the Emperor’s edict had arrived, war was inevitable. Therefore, Jiang Fei needed to return to the Pisernes star area to build his fleet. After all, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and the captains were still separated. He needed to go back and pick the first batch of cannon fodder.
Therefore, after Jiang Fei left the order to reorganize the fleet and prepare for the expedition, he left the Cologne star system. Naturally, Eamon and the other “Players”were overjoyed. After all, this was the beginning of the mission!
