Chapter 861: Chapter 759: One-star Marshal Fei Yunlai (Two in One)

Fifteen days later, the flagship ‘Willow’ high-speed battle starship assigned by the Forest Group to Fei Yunlai, along with four high-speed cruiser starships, twelve high-speed destroyer starships, thirty-six high-speed guardian battleships, and fifty armed cargo ships, slowly sailed into the military dock area of Satellite Six.

This was a miniature version of a high-speed fleet unit formed by the Forest Group.

Zhu Youheng, the director of the armed fleet at the Forest Transport Company, believed that limiting the fleet to just escort duties was too rigid and passive. Attaining ‘defense within attack’ was necessary to protect the company’s ever-expanding transport fleet.

Thus, he suggested to the BOSS to form two fast reaction fleet units to deter pirates.

They were equivalent to cavalry on ancient battlefields, with faster speed, stronger armament, and more elite personnel than pirate fleets. Upon encountering an emergency, they could respond quickly, and even if not rapid enough, they could encircle and trap the pirate fleet, preventing escape.

Currently, neither of these two fast reaction fleet units is fully constructed, with only half of the warships in place. One of them has been allocated under Fei Yunlai to handle some urgent affairs in the Sixth Base City.

At this moment, Fei Yunlai was wearing a neatly pressed uniform of a One-star Marshal from the Forest Company, presiding over a strategy meeting in the warship’s conference hall. The attendees included various captains from the fast reaction fleet and officers from the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth security divisions of the Forest Security Company.

These four major security divisions were hired by the Guang Ming Front and the Light King Sect, accompanying the fleet into the Sixth Base City today, responsible for safeguarding the followers of the Light King Sect and all key personnel from the Guang Ming Front.

Meanwhile, they were also tasked with supervising the government of the Sixth Base City in enforcing the Federation Government’s laws.

There were also two congressional-level members within the group, five quasi-members, and six external mercenaries from the Ninth Realm.

Fei Yunlai glanced sideways at the dock outside the porthole, noticing a large crowd waiting near the boarding area, comprising politicians and businessmen closely connected with the Forest Group in the Sixth Base City.

Among them, there were six Congressmen present, along with chairmen from twelve companies with valuations exceeding one trillion.

Fei Yunlai could only stand up: “That’s it for today, everyone! Each department proceeds according to the scheduled plan, dismissed.”

The people in the conference room also stood up abruptly, producing a resounding commotion: “Yes, Director Sir.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man with black hair in the crowd looked at Fei Yunlai with deep envy.

This was the mercenary hired by the Forest Group for this operation, Kamei Jirani, renowned in the Mercenary World, a 9SS-grade quasi-member-level expert.

Kamei Jirani mused internally about the unpredictable twists of fate. Three years ago, Fei Yunlai was like a drowned rat, not only hunted down by the Great Song Court but also targeted by the military’s Logistics Department, finding himself in increasingly dire straits.

Back then, this guy was a notorious anti-lesson in the Mercenary World.

Mercenaries should act discreetly, gamble with restraint. Did you see Fei Yunlai, that rascal? Despite having top-level talent and the incredibly lucky capture of a powerful humanoid demon, he ended up in such a sorry state, even worse than a dog!

Yet this guy has now risen, already a famous executive director of the Forest Alien Company, Alien Director, and a joint director of the Forest Rui Fang Group.

Fei Yunlai’s force not only increased dramatically, reaching an 8SSS-grade quasi-member-level expert within just three years, but he also wields significant power, impressively formidable.

In the past, Kamei Jirani collaborated with Fei Yunlai twice, both times playing second fiddle. Now, this guy has become his employer, and he must follow orders.

This made Kamei Jirani feel bitter inside, thinking that Fei Yunlai ultimately betrayed his ideals to work for the company like a beast of burden. Yet, any company beast this successful would be envied by all.

Kamei Jirani then scanned the crowd present again, thinking that the Forest Rui Fang Group was indeed impressive, their strength already so substantial.

In the eyes of mercenaries like them, these two group companies were incredibly miraculous, rising to the ranks of top-tier consortia within a mere three years. It felt like, with one moment of inattention, a towering mountain had suddenly risen before them.

Based on dark web intelligence, this consortium supposedly mastered the latest type of armament technology, not only significantly enhancing the efficiency value of armament but also massively reducing the mental burden associated with armament, effectively resolving the Armament Syndrome issue, thus attracting numerous Second and Third Generation Alien Walkers.

Even top-tier mercenaries like them are now eager to work for this consortium to gain future access to new armament technology.

And the Forest Rui Fang Group is very generous with pay and provides strong medical support before and after missions, so currently, their reputation in the Mercenary World is excellent.

This time, even involving mercenaries, this consortium activated three congressional-level members and eight quasi-members.

—-And this is just the Sixth Base City route. Reportedly, the Forest Group simultaneously dispatched a significant armed force to five base cities, with scope and strength no less than or even surpassing that of the Sixth Base City.

After Fei Yunlai exited the conference room, he saw his Protective Demon Qi Lingwei’s alien form approaching: “Jade Sister sent me a message, saying she tried calling you several times but you didn’t answer. She asks if your skin is itching?”

Fei Yunlai’s lips twitched slightly as he glanced at his terminal interface, where Yu Feicui had made yet another call.
