The text mail message crossed the nebula through the Red Faction's information relay network, and arrived at and was received by the flagship cruiser of the garrison fleet, and the communications lieutenant who received the email did not show much interest in the sudden arrival of the email, but there was nothing to do, so he clicked on the email and read it.

I don't know if I don't read it, I was startled when I read it, and the expression of the communications adjutant gradually became serious, and he immediately closed the mail, looked left and right for a while, and then got up and came to the side of the commander of Houston.

The communications lieutenant was a sensible man, he knew that there were a lot of Quark Industries in the garrison, but he was definitely not, he was a loyal henchman under Houston, otherwise he would not have been assigned to a relatively important communications position to take overall responsibility.

He leaned close to the commander's ear and whispered, "Lord Houston, you'd better come and see this..."

The commander of Houston also has nothing to do, and now he is leading the entire fleet to follow the Quaker Industries Combined Fleet, and he has heard the complaints of his subordinates, but as the Supreme Commander, he chooses to turn a deaf ear to the people who receive the Quake Industries commission.

In fact, Houston has long had the idea of quitting, but it just failed to find a suitable reason.

He followed the communications adjutant to the communication station, and after sitting in his seat, the communications adjutant clicked on the email, and everyone else around was busy with their own business, and no one noticed this, Houston frowned and quickly read the letter, and then stretched out his hand to control the console and completely deleted the email.

"Hmm......" Houston stroked his mustache with his thumb and forefinger, and after squinting and thinking for a while, he immediately sent an email in the direction of the return channel from which the mail came, through which Houston could send the mail to the sender, but he would never be able to find the headquarters of the Red Faction along the return channel.

The message was simple and had just one word: "Agreed." ”

Houston vs. Forway. Alexander knew that Utreard, who had killed the boy when he was a minor, was a sheriff under Houston, and since then, Houston has been a member of the Houston family. Alexander kept a high level of attention, he had always mistakenly believed that Fowei was a great young man, but no matter how great he was, he was just an ordinary young man in the vast starry sky.

But this time, he stopped thinking like that, and after coming to the Ifrit system himself, Houston overturned all previous impressions of Forway and reconstructed a new impression of him.

He suddenly understood the reason why Lord Caddell had objected but had reservations after he had made the decision to earn the commission from Quaker Industries, and he had a deep understanding of what it meant that the Red Faction could not be touched.

It doesn't matter how much power the faction has, Fuwei. The group of people led by Alexander is a group of extremely serious people, a group of people who will do what they say, and those warnings and threats in the email, Houston really took it to heart.

"Pass my orders, the whole fleet, and prepare to sail back." Houston said to the communications adjutant: "Connect Carl at the same time. Quaker's flagship, I want to tell Carl in person that the 300 million star coins of Quake Industries are not easy to earn, and I will return him! ”

"Yes!" The communications adjutant was overjoyed.

…

The commander of Houston connected with Carl. After Quake's flagship, he complained first, then complained, and then he reluctantly demanded to withdraw from the campaign, and promised to return all the commissions paid by Carl, Houston said sincerely, and his gesture was extremely low, and Carl had no room to refuse.

But if the garrison fleet was allowed to leave, Karl feared that it would affect the morale of the Combined Fleet of Quaker Industries, even if it had already been severely affected.

"Your Excellency Houston, can you hold out for another week, and when we destroy the Red faction, it's not too late to go back!" Karl persuaded Houston: "If you lead the fleet back now, it is equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and the red faction fleet will definitely target you!" ”

"Master Carl, I've made up my mind, don't persuade me anymore... The 300 million Star Coins, if I can return to Pegasus alive, will be transferred to you immediately; If I don't get back to Pegasus, my men will make up the money; If my men can't scrape together the money, Master Caddell will figure it out for me. Houston said helplessly.

In addition to the superficial meaning, he also has an inner meaning: If you really want to stop me, it will make the cabinet of the Kader junta and the garrison fleet unable to come down.

Carl knew that he could no longer stop the departure of the garrison fleet, since Houston decided to kill himself, Carl did not have such a kind heart to continue to stop him, he nodded at Houston reluctantly, and did not stop the departure of the garrison fleet.

Houston immediately disconnected the communications and then led the fleet away from the Quaker Industries Combined Fleet, and the email sent by Fowy contained a copy of the coordinates of the waypoint to the port of Pegasus Stargate, but Carl did not know about it.

The garrison fleet retreated all the way back to the Pegasus Stargate Harbor, and they found that the Stargate Control Station was being attacked by a fleet of the Red Faction, and the Quaker Industrial Fleet stationed in Stargate Harbor was no match for this fleet at all, although it had a numerical advantage.

Houston stood in front of the porthole, watching the fighting in the harbor, glad that he had wisely accepted Fowy's proposal, otherwise he would not even have been able to choose where his bones would be.

"The strength of the Red Faction is far stronger than we have estimated, and if my expectations are correct, the Combined Fleet of Quaker Industries will undoubtedly lose this war." Houston said to the communications lieutenant beside him with his hands behind his back.

The communications adjutant nodded thoughtfully, pointed to the porthole and continued: "This fleet of theirs, with a clear goal, is to take the stargate control station directly, it seems that they want to close the stargate and detain the Quaker Industries combined fleet in the nebula... God, the appetite of the red faction is great! Don't be their enemy..."

"Order the fleet, quickly pass through the stargate." Houston ordered.

After receiving the order, the whole fleet of the garrison fleet did not dare to delay for a moment, and drilled into the stargate in a dense formation, the entrance of the figure-8 stargate was congested, and the exit was equally crowded, and the support fleet of Quake Industries arrived here in an endless stream, most of which were logistics supply ships.

Looking at this scene, Houston is distressed for Quake Industries.

Soon, the garrison fleet returned to the Pegasus system, and they spread the details of the Nebula Galaxy's battle process to the whole Pegasus in detail, making the Pegasus system's attention to the battle in the Ifrit system a new level.

…

In the Ifrit system, Pegasus Stargate Harbor, Barrera's fleet is covering the landing of Marines at the Pegasus Stargate Control Station! They smashed one of the bulkheads of the facility's landing platform, and Augustine personally piloted the Pelican-class shuttle from the damaged part into the landing platform. Fapelli and three other Titan Marines entered the Stargate Control Station.

"Strengthen the souls of the disciples, and exhort them to persevere in the faith, and to endure many tribulations, so that we may not believe in vain gods, giants, and fight for ourselves!" Arthur. Fapelli led the other three Titan soldiers to kneel on one knee, clasping their hands in prayer, which made Augustine frown, but he still waited quietly for the four Titan soldiers to complete what they wanted to do.

Augustine leaned closer to the swordfish and whispered, "Do they all have to pray before they go to war?" ”

The swordfish pursed his lips and replied, "No, sir, during the battle, they all pray and kill the enemy. ”

"What a good habit!" Augustine picked up his Gauss rifle and aimed at a quake industrial guard from a distance, a shot killed him, this shot also announced the beginning of the landing operation, the giant soldiers opened their eyes and got up one after another, some of them held the Gauss rifle behind their backs, some held a huge cold blade in both hands, and before Augustine gave the order, they were in Arthur. Under the command of Fipelli, they rushed out one after another.

"Swordfish!" Augustine feigned anger and said, "Go back and train these big people of yours too freely and loosely!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The swordfish answered, and also picked up the Gauss rifle and rushed out, how could he allow his men to rush faster than himself! These six people quickly cleaned up the boarding porthole with an unimaginable speed that ordinary people can't imagine, and the giant soldiers did not use special operation armored weapons, but quickly resolved the battle with their bodies and cold weapons, and after opening the docking authorization, the remaining 24 Pelican-class shuttles docked at the stargate control station, and 153 marines stood on the boarding portway, looking at the Barrera fleet that was fighting against many enemies in the starry sky through the porthole.

Augustine turned his head and said to the warriors: "We must hurry, Barrera's fleet will not last long, take the squad as a unit, quickly search the whole station, don't let go of any corner, if Jeffs is here, we can't miss him!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The Marines replied in unison.

The appearance of a hundred giant warriors frightened the Quake Industrial Guards stationed at the Stargate Control Station, these huge monsters were covered in armor and invulnerable, and they couldn't help them with bullets!

Soon, more than 800 Quake industrial guards in the Stargate Control Station gave up resistance and surrendered one after another, and the Black Scourge Detective Company and the Titan Company did not have time to pay attention to these surrendered captives, they searched the corners of the Stargate Control Station, but found nothing.

Augustine could only accept the fact that Jeffs was not here, and he ordered his men to capture a prisoner, and asked sharply, "Where is Jeffs from the Red Faction?!" ”

"I know where he is, please spare my life," replied the captive in horror, glancing from time to time at the giant soldiers around him, fearing that if he could say anything more, he would be broken by their big hands.

"Jeffs, you've been brought on board by Lord Gretchen!" The captive replied in horror, "He should be on Lord Karl's flagship!" ”

"Tell me, Jeffs, how is he!" Augustine grabbed the captive by the collar and asked viciously, the captive swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hurriedly replied, "He... He... He was taken by Gretchen... My lord... The torture was not light..."

"Get out!" Augustine pushed the captives away, then threw down all the surrendered enemies in the Stargate Control Station, and ordered the Marines: "Retreat!" ”

The prisoner who was questioned was so shocked that such a powerful army came in a hurry, did nothing, and left, and the reason why they came was only for the guy named Jeffs?!
