The T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser fired its second cluster laser bow cannon.

The massive blue beam pierced through the dark universe, striking the Star Shield once more.

But this time, the Star Shield began to become unstable.

This indicated that its energy supply was becoming insufficient.

Seconds later, the Star Shield was pierced through!

The blue cluster laser directly impacted the bow cannon position of the T3 Flame Lion King.

One could see the entire bow cannon begin to disintegrate and crumble, finally shattering within the cluster laser!

"Warning! Star Shield energy depleted..."

"Warning! Hull front armor is under attack... Hull front armor is about to be destroyed..."

"Warning! Hull bow cannon weapon module destroyed!"

But on the Bridge, Scarface had already vanished without a trace, and several empty escape pods could be seen in a corner of the Bridge.

Subsequently, the entire Bridge was pierced through by the cluster laser!

From the outside, it looked as if this T3 Flame Lion King-class Heavy Interstellar Battle Cruiser had been pierced through from head to tail, leaving a large hole.

"This is incredible... In less than five minutes, a Starship of the same class was annihilated!" Fang Xiuli exclaimed, covering her mouth.

Commander Chihong stared at the blue and white Interstellar Warship, her emotions somewhat complex.

The next half an hour was for 'cleaning up' the battlefield.

With the cooperation of the T3 Blizzard and the Bloody Mary Mercenary Group, the enemy Starfleet was mostly wiped out, with only a small ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ number of Interstellar Warship escaping.

Zhao Chen did not order a pursuit; after all, he only had one Interstellar Warship, and it was better to be safe.

After the battle ended, Zhao Chen looked at the somewhat disheveled Interstellar Mercenary Group Fleet and sent a communication request.

It was accepted almost immediately.

A video window appeared before Zhao Chen, showing Commander Chihong on the other side.

"Commander Chihong, long time no see," Zhao Chen greeted.

Commander Chihong bowed deeply to Zhao Chen: "Chihong is here to represent Bloody Mary and express our gratitude to you.

Thank you for coming to save us."

"It's nothing, we are partners after all," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Did you know about my danger from Li Yaqi?" Commander Chihong asked Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen nodded: "Yes, I relied on the intelligence provided by Li Yaqi to know the approximate location of your attack, and fortunately, I was lucky and found you quickly."

"Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my fleets would not have been able to leave here today," Commander Chihong said, her gaze somewhat dim.

Despite this, some of her crew members had sacrificed themselves in this encounter, and thinking of them made her feel somewhat indignant.

"Now is not the time for thanks.

Although the battle is over, there are still many things to deal with.

We need to leave here as soon as possible," Zhao Chen reminded.

"Yes," Commander Chihong bit her lip lightly, as if she was struggling with something.

"Commander Chihong, if you have any concerns, you can tell me," Zhao Chen noticed that Commander Chihong seemed to have something on her mind.

"Normally, I should now escort these Interstellar Transport Ships to your Xiaolong Galaxy, as this is what we agreed upon.

However... I am now somewhat worried about my main base.

Since my fleet's whereabouts were betrayed, my main base is now also very likely to be in great danger, so I want to..." Commander Chihong's expression was complex.

Unlike the Salamander Tribe in the Reef Starfield, which had fixed territories and main bases, the Bloody Mary Mercenary Group did not have a fixed main base.

For safety reasons, their main base was very well hidden.

"I know what you're thinking. How about this?

I'll give you a suggestion: your Starfleet will proceed as planned to escort the Interstellar Transport Ships and the wounded from this battle to the Xiaolong Galaxy.

And you will take my Interstellar Warship to your main base," Zhao Chen proposed.

Commander Chihong said worriedly: "But there might be traitors in my fleet... If your Interstellar Warship leaves, it's not impossible for these traitors to contact the enemy fleet and launch a comeback!"

"I have a way to deal with traitors.

On my Interstellar Warship, there is an instrument that can detect traitors. Commander Chihong, you only need to follow my instructions, and in at most half an hour, we can roughly find those traitors," Zhao Chen said.

Commander Chihong looked at Zhao Chen in surprise, not expecting him to have such a method.

Although she was somewhat worried about her main base, half an hour was not a long time; moreover, the battle had just ended, and her Starfleet also needed some rest.

"Okay."

Next, Commander Chihong ordered the fleet to rest in place while following Zhao Chen's instructions.

"Commander's order: All crew members, including personnel, are to proceed to the hangar and board the shuttle!

Don't ask why, move quickly!" a voice rang out on a Bloody Mary Mercenary Group's t2 star battleship.

Although they had many questions, the crew members still followed the orders.

Boarding the shuttle, they were surprised to find that the shuttle was heading towards the T3 Interstellar Warship that had rescued them.

The shuttle docked in the hangar, and Commander Chihong's voice rang out, telling them to disembark from the shuttle and stand in neat rows in the hangar.

They looked up at the man and Commander Chihong, who were standing on the second-floor platform of the hangar, scanning them.

Commander Chihong looked at the puzzled crew members below: "This is Commander Zhao Chen, who saved us. He has also specially prepared meals for us.

Everyone worked hard in this battle. You can go back after receiving your meals."

The mercenary group's crew members were initially still confused. What kind of operation was this?

Even if it was to distribute meals, they could have just sent them directly to each Starship, saving all this trouble.

But when they saw the bento boxes, their mouths almost watered; those were all delicious dishes made from natural ingredients.

This trip was not in vain; one by one, they went to collect their bento boxes.

Commander Chihong then looked at Zhao Chen beside her.

"Next batch," Zhao Chen said, shaking his head.

As shuttles entered the hangar one after another, the mercenary group's crew members happily collected their bento boxes and left.

The whole process was very fast, but Zhao Chen never said who the traitor was.

This made Commander Chihong very confused. What method did Commander Zhao Chen have to find out the traitor?

Soon, Zhao Chen's gaze fixed on one person.

"Third row, fifth person," Zhao Chen said in a deep voice.

Commander Chihong looked at the person Zhao Chen mentioned; it was the Executive Officer of a T2 Starship, a very high position, and one of her most trusted confidantes whom she highly valued.

Commander Chihong was somewhat disbelieving that this person was a traitor and opened her mouth, but still followed Commander Zhao Chen's words.

She ordered her subordinates to first apprehend that Executive Officer.

The Executive Officer noticed the gaze from the second-floor platform of the hangar and also saw a team of people walking towards her. She immediately drew a Laser Gun and took a crew member from the same Starship, who was still bewildered, as a hostage.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! If anyone dares to come closer, I'll kill her!"
