Chapter 416 Head-on Confrontation (Five-in-One)
by SunflowerLittle Grey immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the planet.
Su Ming controlled the Shadow Lord to follow behind Little Grey.
The two, one in front and one behind, drilled into a large hole and entered a passage.
Su Ming turned on the searchlight and carefully observed the situation inside the passage.
These passages were drilled by large excavation machinery, with a maximum width of hundreds of meters, and the direction of extension was completely winding.
The remaining minerals exposed on the passage walls were the most common iron ore, which had little value.
Su Ming continued to follow Little Grey inside, passing through some black dust along the way.
Time passed little by little.
Little Grey took Su Ming around inside the planet for half a day, but found nothing.
It couldn’t help but stop, turn its head and look around, stretch out its small claws and scratch its head, its big, bright eyes filled with confusion.
When Su Ming saw Little Grey like this, he also felt it was very strange.
How did Prince Amis hide, to be able to make Little Grey hit a wall again and again?
“Alas!”
Su Ming sighed, then controlled the mecha to fly over, opened the cockpit, and let Little Grey in.
Little Grey flew in, lowered its head aggrievedly, looking like it was doubting life.
Since coming to this place to search, it had repeatedly hit a wall!
It clearly felt that there was something here, but it just couldn’t find it.
“It’s okay, let’s see if others have found anything.”
Su Ming reached out and stroked its head to comfort it, then turned around and controlled the mecha to leave.
Soon after, Su Ming flew outside the planet.
Rhine and the others gathered around and spoke.
“Boss, did you find anything?”
“No, how about you?”
Su Ming calmly asked everyone.
“No, so many of us spread out, basically turning this small planet upside down. But we didn’t find anything, are we looking in the wrong place?”
Zhang Yi replied with a sigh.
“Boss, why don’t you ask Queen Hai Lan if this is the planet?”
Rhine hesitated and asked.
Hearing this, Su Ming sent a communication request to the Wind Movement.
The communication was quickly connected, and Timi spoke respectfully.
“Commander Su Ming.”
“Timi, is Mrs. Hai Lan there? Ask her to come over, I have something to ask her.”
Su Ming said to Timi.
“Okay!”
Timi immediately moved aside.
Soon, Mrs. Hai Lan appeared in front of Su Ming, and she asked nervously.
“Mr. Su Ming, is the search not going well?”
“Yes, Mrs. Hai Lan, are you sure the planet with red rocks is the hiding place? Could this be a cover? Is the real hiding place not on this planet?”
Su Ming asked tactfully.
“Impossible, my husband wouldn’t lie to me.”
Mrs. Hai Lan said with great certainty.
Hearing this, Ankajia interrupted.
“Boss, if that’s the case, then let’s just blow up this planet. We don’t believe we still can’t find it this way.”
“That makes sense!”
Rhine and the others echoed.
“No, who knows what’s hidden inside, what if there’s a pile of high-grade energy crystals and fragile things?”
Su Ming directly rejected the suggestions of Rhine and the others.
“Then what do we do now? We’ve turned this planet upside down several times, let alone treasure, we haven’t even seen a ghost.”
Rhine and the others asked anxiously.
Su Ming was also very troubled. Under normal circumstances, if he couldn’t find it, he could search slowly, but what he lacked most now was time.
Who knows when the Mechanical Clan will come back?
Little Grey looked at Su Ming struggling, and its mood was also low as it looked out at the starry sky.
At this moment, dots of black dust drifted past the front of the mecha.
Ding!
Little Grey’s eyes immediately lit up, as if it had thought of something, and it immediately flew away excitedly, constantly scratching the cockpit wall with its small claws and calling out to Su Ming.
“Chirp chirp!”
Su Ming looked at Little Grey’s unusual behavior and immediately reacted, opening the cockpit.
Little Grey flew out excitedly and flew towards the asteroid.
“Follow!”
Su Ming controlled the mecha to follow.
Rhine and the others also showed joy and quickly controlled their mechas to chase after it.
Little Grey led Su Ming and the others to fly into a large hole and flew along the passage inside.
Soon they reached the depths of the passage.
At this moment, Little Grey stopped.
Su Ming and the others stopped as well. They turned their heads and looked around but didn’t see anything unusual.
“There’s nothing here!”
Rhine and the others said blankly.
“Chirp chirp!”
Little Grey kept making special calls towards the piles of black dust on the passage floor.
Su Ming looked at the black dust that looked like a sea of sand, and immediately reacted and said.
“Wait, could the treasure be hidden under the black dust?”
Rhine and the others were also startled when they heard Su Ming’s words, and then said in shock.
“Holy crap, no way?”
“If it’s really below, how do we get it?”
“How about I go down and scout?”
“No, it’s too risky. There should be extraction mechanical equipment in the Wind Movement, right?”
Su Ming asked with a changing expression.
“Yes.”
Rhine replied with great certainty.
“Go, bring it over, and while you’re at it, invite Mrs. Hai Lan over.”
Su Ming gave orders to Rhine and the others.
“Yes!”
Rhine immediately led his men to fly out.
Soon after, a large gravity extraction mechanical device, square-shaped with large-diameter pipes extending from both sides, was transported over.
Rhine and the others also quickly installed it, then started the equipment and began to extract the grey sand.
At this moment, Mrs. Hai Lan’s nervous voice sounded from Ankajia’s avatar in the communication channel.
“Mr. Su Ming, have you found it?”
“Not sure yet, but there is hope, but the specific result will only be known after these grey dust are extracted.”
Su Ming still trusted Little Grey’s judgment very much.
“Okay, thank you for your hard work.”
Mrs. Hai Lan replied, suppressing her excited heart.
Time passed little by little.
Soon the grey dust was extracted, and the rough metal insulation layer was immediately exposed.
“Boss, look!”
“Metal layer, there really is something below!”
Rhine and the others shouted excitedly.
Seeing this scene, Su Ming put away the scarlet long spear and drew out two particle lightsabers to activate.
He flew down and directly cut open the metal insulation layer, swinging the Plasma Lightsaber, striking it again and again in a cross pattern.
Immediately after, Su Ming controlled the mecha to kick down!
Boom!
The entire metal insulation layer was kicked down.
Su Ming looked down, and below was a huge deep cave.
Su Ming then gave orders to Ha Miao.
“Ha Miao, you stay outside with your men and don’t let anyone in!”
“No problem.”
Ha Miao immediately agreed.
“Rhine, Zhang Yi, Ankajia, Elu, Mandy, Angie, Shi Wushan, you come down with me.”
Su Ming said to the seven people including Rhine.
“Okay!”
Rhine and the others immediately followed Su Ming and flew straight down.
They immediately came to a huge cave.
The entire cave wall was covered with black dust as an insulation layer, and at the very front of the cave, there was an artificially dug passage.
“Wow, we really found it.”
“Damn, these guys, they smeared the rock walls with black dust, how could anyone find this!”
Rhine and the others exclaimed and discussed.
Su Ming looked around, looking at the black dust smeared on the rock wall, and was also a little moved. That Third Prince Amis really had good methods, no wonder Little Grey couldn’t find it.
At this moment, Zhang Yi said excitedly.
“Boss, look, the entrance passage is at the end there.”
“Okay, let’s go over.”
Su Ming took a look, then led Rhine and the others to walk over, but found that the passage was only about twenty meters high, and their mechas couldn’t get in.
“No way, boss, this passage is too short.”
Rhine scratched his head and said.
“You go and transport a few Iron Guards in.”
Su Ming said to Rhine and the others.
“Okay.”
Rhine and the others quickly left in their mechas.
After a moment, they brought down a batch of Iron Guards.
Su Ming instructed Mandy and the others.
“Mandy, Shi Wushan, you two don’t need to go in, stay and watch our mechas, and notify us anytime if there are any problems.”
“Okay!”
Mandy and Shi Wushan immediately agreed.
Su Ming and Rhine and the others opened their cockpits one after another and changed mechas on the spot.
After they finished changing, they turned on the searchlights and entered the passage.
Su Ming and the others were very careful all the way, afraid of triggering any mechanisms.
Fortunately, the passage was not very deep, and they quickly reached the end. A metal door appeared in their sight, with a very small square concave hole on it.
At this moment, Mrs. Hai Lan said excitedly to Su Ming.
“This is it, please, Sir Su Ming, open this door with the necklace.”
“Okay!”
Su Ming activated the colonial armor to cover his whole body and opened the cockpit to float down.
Ankajia looked at this scene and asked curiously.
“Mrs. Hai Lan, what will happen if you don’t open this with a key?”
“It must be opened with a key, otherwise it will trigger the mechanism and detonate this place.”
Mrs. Hai Lan said very seriously.
“Damn, that’s ruthless?”
Ankajia was also startled. They were currently piloting Second Generation Mechas. If this really exploded, they would all die here.
At this moment, Su Ming landed in front of the metal door, took out the necklace, and embedded the cubic metal pendant into the door’s groove.
Rhine and the others held their breath as they watched this scene.
Instantly, lines lit up on the metal door, and then the cubic metal pendant was ejected.
Rumble~
The entire metal door rose upwards, and all the internal gates rose one after another.
Su Ming immediately turned around and floated towards the Iron Guard Mech.
He returned to the cockpit, restarted the Iron Guard Mech, and led everyone in.
The internal facilities of the entire base were still running, and the gravity device was also functioning normally.
In an instant, Su Ming and the others arrived in a hall made of rough metal.
In the entire hall, there were corpses everywhere, as well as some abandoned mechas and various mechanical tools.
“So many corpses?”
Rhine and the others were startled.
Su Ming controlled the mecha to lower its head and carefully observed these corpses.
Some of these corpses had expressions of terror on their faces before death, some had gunshot wounds in their abdomen and chest, some were kneeling on the ground, looking like they had been executed, and some corpses lying on the ground had guns in their hands and gunshot wounds to their temples.
Su Ming looked at these corpses, his expression changing. It was clear that some of them were forcibly shot, and some committed suicide.
This should be the place of the massacre. This Third Prince Amis was not only smart, but his character and methods were also very formidable.
“Never mind these, let’s go inside. There is an open passage at the front, which should lead to the interior.”
“Okay!”
Rhine and the others immediately agreed.
They controlled their mechas to pass through the hall, walked to the entrance of the passage at the end, cautiously entered, and came to a very narrow passage.
When they reached the end and walked out of the exit, their vision suddenly opened up.
A huge empty space appeared in their sight. At this moment, Su Ming and the others were standing in the center of the empty space. In front of them was a metal road, with a sea of sand made of grey dust on both sides of the road, and opposite the metal road in the center, there was a metal door. If there were no accidents, that should be the door to the treasure vault.
Mrs. Hai Lan said very excitedly.
“Mr. Su Ming, the treasure vault is ahead.”
“Okay.”
Su Ming nodded.
At this moment, Rhine swallowed and said.
“Boss, how do we get over? This layout looks like a trap no matter how you look at it?”
“Yeah, what if we trigger a mechanism?”
Ankajia and the others said very nervously.
Su Ming looked at the scene in front of him, also frowning.
At this moment, Hai Lan spoke.
“Mr. Su Ming, you don’t need to be afraid. We came in with the key, so the mechanisms should all be turned off. My husband wouldn’t harm me.”
“Okay, let’s fly over!”
Su Ming took a deep breath and gave the order. Having come this far, there was no way he could back down.
“Yes!”
Rhine and the others replied with serious expressions.
Su Ming then controlled the Iron Guard to lead the way and fly over, and Rhine and the others immediately followed.
They flew very slowly, constantly turning their heads and carefully observing their surroundings, afraid of triggering any mechanisms.
As a result, they flew to the opposite side and landed very smoothly.
“Wow, it’s really okay.”
“We’ve finally reached the treasure vault.”
“What do you think is inside?”
“I don’t know, boss, open it quickly and see.”
Zhang Yi and the others said very excitedly.
Su Ming didn’t say anything unnecessary, and directly opened the cockpit and floated down again.
The entire door of the treasure vault was composed of two silver metal doors, and the right metal door also had a concave opening.
Su Ming picked up the key and embedded it.
Click!
The sealed metal door automatically opened inwards.
Su Ming and the others looked at the slowly opening door with great excitement, full of anticipation.
However, the moment the door was completely opened.
Su Ming and the others’ smiles immediately froze. They saw that the vast treasure vault inside was a mess, with boxes and black dust scattered everywhere, as if it had been looted.
“This…”
Rhine and the others opened their mouths in astonishment.
Mrs. Hai Lan was also dumbfounded at this moment.
“Let’s go in and see!”
Su Ming walked directly into the treasure vault on foot.
Rhine and the others also quickly controlled their mechs to follow. Looking at the messy treasure vault, their hearts sank to the bottom, and they said with great disappointment.
“Boss, it seems like this place has been looted? Are we too late?”
“Impossible. The mechanisms here are so well preserved, and it’s hidden so secretly, there’s definitely no one who’s been here before.”
Su Ming analyzed calmly.
“Then where is the item?”
Zhang Yi asked blankly.
“I don’t know, but it’s definitely still here. Let’s search!”
Su Ming said to Rhine and the others.
“Yes!”
Rhine and the others began searching everywhere.
Su Ming immediately activated his colonial armor’s scanning device, scanning the entire treasure vault comprehensively, and at the same time, he told Little Grey to search as well.
Little Grey kept flying back and forth within the treasure vault.
More than an hour later.
Su Ming and the others had searched the entire treasure vault several times over.
But besides the scattered empty boxes, nothing was found. Even Little Grey looked bewildered.
Su Ming’s brows were also furrowed tightly. He was very puzzled and confused. Where exactly was the item hidden? Even Little Grey couldn’t find it.
“Boss, there’s nothing here. Could this be a scam?”
Rhine and the others said with great disappointment.
“Impossible.”
Su Ming replied with great certainty.
If it were a scam, it couldn’t be done to such a meticulous degree. The pile of corpses lying in the outer hall would be hard to fake, especially with the black dust covering the stone walls; the details were all there.
“Boss, we’re not saying Queen Hai Lan lied to us. We mean that this might be a fake treasure created by Prince Amis specifically to deceive people.”
Zhang Yi said hesitantly.
After hearing Zhang Yi’s words, Su Ming immediately fell silent.
Although his intuition told him there must be treasure here, Zhang Yi’s analysis wasn’t entirely unreasonable.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very heavy, and everyone didn’t know what to say.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
At this moment, Mrs. Hai Lan bit her lip and apologized to Su Ming.
Although she deeply trusted her husband and believed he wouldn’t lie to her, the facts were now before her eyes, leaving her no choice but to believe.
And if this treasure was fake, it meant she had tricked Su Ming.
“Mrs. Hai Lan, you don’t need to apologize. I know where the item is.”
When Su Ming was halfway through his sentence, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he revealed a brilliant smile.
“Ah, where?”
Everyone looked at Su Ming in astonishment and asked.
“Follow me!”
Su Ming walked straight outside.
Rhine and the others quickly followed.
Soon, everyone came outside the treasure vault. Rhine and the others looked around, opening their mouths in confusion.
“Didn’t see anything? There’s nothing here!”
“The item is in the sea of sand on both sides!”
Su Ming looked at the black dust on both sides of the path and said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, Rhine and the others said in surprise.
“Ah! Boss, are you sure?”
“Certain. Didn’t you notice some black dust on the ground inside the treasure vault? Also, if it wasn’t hidden in the black dust, how could it have deceived Little Grey?”
Su Ming said with great certainty.
“That makes sense. So what do we do now?”
Rhine and the others asked excitedly; their hope was rekindled.
“Rhine, you guys go bring the equipment and pump all the black dust here into the treasure vault.”
Su Ming instructed Rhine and the others.
“Okay!”
Rhine and the others immediately left in a hurry.
Su Ming stood in place, waiting quietly.
Not long after, Rhine and the others moved the equipment in, installed it, and connected the pipes to the inside of the treasure vault.
“Boss, it’s ready!”
Rhine and the others shouted excitedly.
“Start pumping.”
Su Ming suppressed his surging emotions and gave the command.
Rhine and the others immediately activated the equipment, and a large amount of dust was instantly pumped out.
The entire sea of black dust began to descend at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Su Ming and the others’ hearts were instantly in their throats; success or failure hinged on this one action.
Just as the black dust descended to a certain level, a dark, unremarkable ore emerged. If observed closely, faint golden patterns could be seen.
Rhine and the others immediately shouted excitedly to Su Ming.
“Boss, look quickly, something’s coming out!”
At this moment, Little Grey was also extremely agitated, excitedly chirping at the dark, unremarkable raw ore.
“Chirp chirp!”
“Finally found it!”
Su Ming looked at the exposed raw ore, revealing a brilliant smile.
“Boss, what kind of ore is this?”
Ankajia asked curiously.
“Eternal Metal raw ore.”
Su Ming didn’t hide it from them, because this definitely couldn’t be hidden.
Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Rhine and the others all stiffened in place as if struck by lightning, revealing expressions of utter horror.
“Holy crap, Eternal Metal raw ore!”
“Such a huge piece, how much is that worth?”
“Priceless.”
Su Ming took a deep breath and said.
At this moment, Ankajia’s eyes were very sharp. Seeing another piece of raw ore emerge, she stuttered and shouted.
“Bo- Boss, look quickly, another one.”
Su Ming’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Ankajia’s words, and he looked over in astonishment.
As a result, he found that a second piece of raw ore had indeed emerged.
At this moment, Elu shouted excitedly.
“Another one emerged over there!”
“There’s also one emerging on this side.”
Rhine shouted with immense excitement.
Su Ming looked at the pieces of Eternal Metal raw ore emerging one after another, completely dumbfounded. How many pieces were there here?
Could the other treasures Hai Lan mentioned just be the other smaller pieces of Eternal Metal raw ore?
In fact, Hai Lan herself was dumbfounded; she hadn’t expected there to be so many pieces.
Soon, all the black dust on both sides was pumped out, revealing a total of eighteen pieces of Eternal Metal raw stone. The most conspicuous among them was the first one that emerged, which was super large, estimated to be at least a thousand tons.
This piece was exactly the one Hai Lan had promised Su Ming. As for the other seventeen pieces of Eternal Metal raw stone, they were relatively smaller, but there were many of them.
Su Ming scanned them with his colonial armor and roughly estimated that these Eternal Metal raw ores weighed at least around 3800 tons.
Looking at so much Eternal Metal raw ore, Rhine and the others were no longer just happy, but somewhat panicked.
“Boss, this, so much?”
Su Ming’s expression also became very solemn. With so much Eternal Metal, once the news leaked out, Dark Star, Saint Joe, and Apocalypse would all go crazy, and even the Federal would be envious.
He said to Rhine and the others with a very serious expression.
“Rhine, listen up, all of you. You are all the people I trust the most. What you saw today, no one is allowed to reveal even half a word, or don’t blame me for being impolite. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but this concerns the lives of all of us. Once the news leaks, we’re all finished!”
“Understood. If anyone leaks it, we’ll chop them up!”
Rhine was very clear about the stakes involved and replied without hesitation.
At this moment, Mrs. Hai Lan also looked at Su Ming with some panic and said.
“Mr. Su Ming, this…”
“Mrs. Hai Lan, it’s not that I covet your wealth. I hope you can understand one thing. You cannot keep or use this Eternal Metal. As long as you dare to take it out, it will definitely bring about the disaster of national destruction!”
Su Ming said sternly.
He finally understood why Prince Amis didn’t take these things back when he unearthed them!
Instead, he chose to eliminate all those who knew. These things were not wealth for the Scarlet Country, but a monstrous disaster.
To put it bluntly, he couldn’t even protect these things.
“Then what should we do?”
Mrs. Hai Lan asked somewhat flustered.
“Let me think.”
Su Ming’s expression kept changing.
Everyone present looked at Su Ming, anxiously waiting for him to make a decision.
After more than ten minutes, Su Ming raised his head and looked at Mrs. Hai Lan, asking.
“Mrs. Hai Lan, do you trust me?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Since that’s the case, I’ll take you to meet someone. In this world, only she can help you deal with this Eternal Metal. But you must understand one thing: with so much Eternal Metal, no one will give you the normal price. You absolutely cannot be greedy. You can only exchange it for a certain amount of benefit, but even that will be enough for your Scarlet Country to completely turn things around and restore its nation.”
“I will follow Mr. Su Ming’s arrangements for everything!”
Hai Lan replied without the slightest hesitation.
“Okay, Rhine, you guys immediately go out and get some mechanical boxes and pack these Eternal Metal raw stones!”
“Yes!”
Rhine immediately took people and left.
Not long after, Rhine and the others brought in mechanical boxes one by one.
“Listen up, all of you. After putting the raw stones into the mechanical boxes, fill them with black dust for isolation!”
Su Ming instructed Rhine and the others.
This black dust is a good thing. It can interfere with and shield scans, better concealing these raw ores.
“Understood!”
“One more thing. If you go out and others ask what treasure you found, all say the same thing: you dug up a large batch of Level 5 Titanium Chromium raw ore.”
“Okay.”
Rhine and the others replied with some unease.
“Alright, hurry up and pack them. Once we’re done, we’ll immediately return to the Federal!”
Su Ming prepared to return directly to the Federal to find Commander Dragon White.
Carrying so much Eternal Metal raw stone, it wouldn’t be safe anywhere; he would be targeted sooner or later.
“Yes!”
Rhine and the others quickly sped up.
Several hours later.
Su Ming and the others escorted large mechanical boxes one by one back to the Wind Movement.
They placed these boxes separately in a storage bay.
“Zhang Yi, Ankajia. Ten of you will take turns guarding here.”
Su Ming directly named ten classmates and said.
“Okay!”
Zhang Yi and the others responded without the slightest hesitation.
“I’m counting on you.”
After Su Ming finished his instructions, he took Rhine, Mrs. Hai Lan and her daughter, and others towards the central control room.
Not long after, Su Ming and the others arrived at the central control room.
Timi came forward and asked.
“Commander Su Ming, is the operation finished?”
“It’s finished. We’ll immediately return the way we came and leave!”
Su Ming issued the command to Timi.
“Understood!”
Timi responded without the slightest hesitation.
In the starry sky.
The Wind Movement turned its bow, activated its propulsion system, and sped away from this area.
—
Donao Star Sea.
Inside the Tsar’s central control room.
Vickers sat steadily in the command chair. Captain Zhou Yuelin reported to him.
“General Vickers, our combat mission has arrived. Sir Mo Xiu has ordered us to attack the Kingdom of Mancori, one of the Six Neutral Countries. Troops from the 8th to 12th Legions will also be attacking with us.”
After listening to Zhou Yuelin, Vickers immediately opened the star map and took a look. The Kingdom of Mancori is in the leftmost area of the Six Neutral Countries. This kingdom is not very strong, but he doesn’t know how many troops the Dark Star Empire will send to assist in defense.
But now that the arrow was on the bowstring, he had to shoot it. He couldn’t worry about too much and could only say.
“Everyone, depart!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Zhou Yuelin immediately responded.
Just as the Tsar was dispatched, troops from the Federal’s 1st-4th Legions and the 7th Legion marched towards the Kingdom of Luett.
As for the Fifth Army, 6th Legion, and the reinforcements sent by Sky Dome City, they launched a frontal assault on the Kingdom of Anger, Urakan Kingdom, Kingdom of Kudik, Kingdom of Fabiton, and the main forces of the Dark Star Empire.
Inside the central control room of the legendary Star Destroyer – Feng Qiong.
Mo Xiu sat steadily in the command chair.
General Rochester respectfully reported to Mo Xiu.
“Sir, all troops have departed, but this news probably cannot be hidden from the Imperial Army.”
“I didn’t intend to hide it.”
Mo Xiu said with a smile.
“Understood.”
Rochester responded in a deep voice.
Inside the majestic palace of Blood Prism Fortress.
Aus sat steadily on the throne.
Grid-like holographic images appeared before him.
The National Lords of the Six Great Nations pleaded in extreme fear.
“Aus, the Federal’s main forces are advancing on all fronts and will reach us soon.”
“Isn’t that great? Let’s annihilate them. Listen up, all of you, no one is allowed to retreat. Fight to the death! If I find anyone backing down, don’t blame me for being impolite afterward.”
Aus swept his gaze over the National Lords of the Six Great Nations with a sinister smile.
“We wouldn’t dare.”
The National Lords of the Six Great Nations replied fearfully.
“Pass on my command, form ranks and prepare for battle. This time, the Federal will not return!”
Aus issued the command fanatically.
“Yes, Sir!”
Everyone responded one after another.
Donao Star Sea – Outer space on the border of the Kingdom of Anger.
The massive Blood Prism Fortress floated in the starry sky.
The three Star Destroyers, Star Destroyer – Phantom, Star Destroyer – Dark Blood, and Star Destroyer – Black Crow, were distributed in a triangle shape with Blood Prism Fortress at the center.
Countless ships and Mechas were densely packed around, forming a spider web-like formation.
At this moment, the legendary Feng Qiong, Star Destroyer – Scarlet Blade, and Star Destroyer Whale, these three Star Destroyers, led a mighty fleet and Mecha forces, sailing from the distant starry sky.
They deployed their formation in the starry sky two million kilometers away from Blood Prism Fortress.
The fleets on both sides confronted each other.
Inside the central control room of the legendary Feng Qiong.
Mo Xiu sat in the command chair, and virtual communications from Rogue and others were displayed on the virtual screen.
Rogue and others reported continuously.
“The Fifth Army’s formation deployment is complete, and everything is ready.”
While listening to the report, Mo Xiu gazed at the distant Blood Prism Fortress.
At this moment, a communication request popped up.
The Operator immediately reported.
“Sir Mo Xiu, a communication request from Blood Prism Fortress has been received. Do you accept?”
“Accept.”
Mo Xiu replied without hesitation.
Swish!
Aus’s image immediately appeared before Mo Xiu. He twisted his neck and spoke arrogantly.
“I wondered who was commanding this war, turns out it’s you!”
“Aus, it’s too late for you to be scared now.”
Mo Xiu replied with a smile.
“Haha, how utterly ridiculous. I see you’re nothing special, simply stupid to the extreme. You knew I was stationed here waiting for you, yet you dared to charge straight over, you’re practically looking for death!”
Aus burst into laughter.
At this moment, Feng Qiong’s scanning device emitted a piercing alarm sound.
The Operator reported in shock.
“Sir Mo Xiu, a large number of fleets and Mecha forces have been scanned on both sides of the starry sky.”
Rogue and the others all showed extremely shocked expressions; they had actually entered an encirclement.
Mo Xiu glanced at the displayed image.
He saw massive forces appearing on both sides of his fleet. Instantly, the Dark Star Empire’s forces and the forces of the Four Neutral Countries formed a net, and Mo Xiu’s forces had just entered the net.
“Not bad, not bad. You abandoned the Mankoli Kingdom and the Luette Kingdom.”
Mo Xiu narrowed his eyes and replied.
“That’s right, I’ve gathered all my forces here waiting for you. I didn’t expect you to walk right into the trap. Prepare to die!”
Aus said with a ferocious expression.
“Alright, I’ll wait. Talking more is useless, let’s see the real skills in battle.”
Mo Xiu waved his hand and directly cut off the communication.
Inside the central control room of Blood Prism Fortress.
“Arrogant! Too arrogant! Immediately tighten the encirclement!”
Aus’s eyes revealed a fierce glint. He raised his hand and waved, issuing the order.
“Yes!”
Numerous Operators immediately responded.
In the starry sky.
The forces of the Dark Star Empire and the Four Neutral Countries tightened like an encirclement net.
At this moment, the Federal forces also changed their formation, forming an arc-shaped lineup to meet all the enemies who had outflanked them.
The distance between the two sides gradually closed.
The moment the distance reached the critical point, Aus was the first to issue the attack order.
“Firepower barrage!”
“Yes!”
Numerous Operators immediately responded.
In an instant, Blood Prism Fortress, the three major Star Destroyers, and all ships in the starry sky opened their launch ports.
Swish! Swish!
Missiles that obscured the starry sky poured towards the Federal forces from all directions.
However, the Federal fleet remained completely still, only the legendary Feng Qiong flew to the very front.
Click!
Feng Qiong’s massive hull, the 1-1000W launch ports instantly opened, creating a very shocking scene.
Swish! Swish!
Missiles filling the sky shot out from Feng Qiong, scattering in all directions!
The missiles from both sides collided in the starry sky.
Boom!
Countless fireworks bloomed, and the entire dark starry sky was directly illuminated into a star belt.
Rogue and the others were all immensely surprised when they saw this scene, and their morale greatly increased!
They didn’t expect Feng Qiong’s firepower to be so fierce, single-handedly withstanding the attacks of all enemy fleets.
Aus and the others were all shocked, each with an extremely ugly expression. They didn’t expect this Star Destroyer to be so powerful!
At this moment, Feng Qiong’s main cannon lit up with brilliant light.
The head of Blood Prism Fortress also unfolded like a flower bud, revealing the main cannon flashing with red lightning.
Swish~
Feng Qiong instantly shot out a black light beam filled with destructive power, striking towards Blood Prism Fortress.
Blood Prism Fortress’s main cannon instantly unleashed its fire.
A red light beam streaked across the starry sky, meeting the black light beam.
The two light beams collided in the starry sky.
Zzzzt!
The black light beam instantly pierced through the red light beam.
“How is that possible!”
Avabido, the Vice-commander, and others were all incredibly shocked and horrified when they saw this scene.
The next second!
The black light beam hit Blood Prism Fortress’s energy barrier!
Boom!
A black sun instantly rose, the entire energy barrier severely distorted, and the entire Blood Prism Fortress shook violently.
Blood Prism Fortress central control room.
Numerous Operators struggled to steady themselves, their faces showing expressions of extreme terror.
Aus sat steadily in the command chair and roared angrily.
“Order Avabido, Mottley, and Ouluo to attack!”
“Yes!”
The Operator replied in terror.
At this moment, the main cannons of the three Star Destroyers, Star Destroyer – Phantom, Star Destroyer – Dark Blood, and Star Destroyer – Black Crow, quickly charged, simultaneously locking onto the legendary Feng Qiong.
Star Destroyer – Scarlet Blade and Star Destroyer Whale also rapidly charged their main cannons, simultaneously locking onto Dark Blood. They intended to concentrate fire and disable Dark Blood.
Neither side gave way.
Zzzzt!
Instantly, the three major Star Destroyers including Phantom, were the first to fire three dazzling light beams towards the legendary Feng Qiong.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Feng Qiong.
Aus revealed a ferocious smile. No matter how strong Feng Qiong was, could it withstand the attacks of three Star Destroyers? Even if it did withstand them, it would be crippled if not dead.
At this moment, countless patterns on Feng Qiong’s surface suddenly lit up, instantly deploying a full-range GN Field Barrier, enveloping the entire ship.
Zzzzt!
The moment the three light beams hit the GN Field Barrier, they scattered in all directions!
For a moment, Feng Qiong was as dazzling as the sun, radiating countless beams of light.
When Aus saw this scene, he slapped the armrest of the command chair and stood up, his eyes bloodshot, his face full of rage, and he roared through clenched teeth.
“GN Field Barrier!”
The other Imperial Generals present all showed expressions of horror and didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, Star Destroyer – Scarlet Blade and Star Destroyer Whale fired two dazzling light beams, instantly hitting Dark Blood!
Boom!
Two dazzling suns rose.
Dark Blood’s energy barrier shattered, and the entire ship was damaged.
The Operator reported to Aus in terror.
“Report, Dark Blood is damaged!”
“Damn bastards.”
Aus cursed angrily.
Inside Feng Qiong’s central control room.
Mo Xiu waved his hand and directly issued the order.
“All units attack! Kill!”
Instantly, the Federal fleet swarmed, opening all weapon launch ports and firing massive amounts of missiles towards the Imperial Army.
Following closely, Mecha swarms surged forward like a tide.
The combined forces of the Imperial Army and the Neutral Countries also braced themselves and advanced to meet them.
The forces of both sides engaged in a fierce melee in the starry sky.
—
The next day, inside the Dark Forest.
Wind Motion continued to sail forward.
Inside the central control room.
Su Ming sat in the command chair with a tense expression. Although he had gotten the item, his heart was very uneasy; he always felt like someone was watching him.
He even suspected he might be suffering from persecution paranoia.
At this moment, Timi walked over and said with a rather poor expression.
“Commander Su Ming, there’s a problem.”
Su Ming’s eyelids twitched when he heard Timi’s words, and he asked.
“What’s the problem?”
“We seem to have lost our way. By all accounts, we should have reached the marked location long ago. But along the way, I haven’t seen any markers left by the Scarlet Country!”
Timi said with great guilt.
“No way?”
Rhine and the others’ faces fell when they heard this.
Ever since they found the treasure, their situation hadn’t improved much; they were all on edge and constantly worried.
“I’m sorry, it was my mistake.”
Timi replied with great apology.
“Timi, you don’t need to blame yourself; this isn’t your fault. It’s easy to get lost in the Dark Forest itself. What happened has happened, we just need to find a way to solve it.”
Su Ming took a deep breath and said to Timi rationally.
“Yes, Commander Su Ming.”
Timi replied, somewhat touched by Su Ming’s words.
“Boss, what should we do now?”
Rhine asked nervously.
Just as Su Ming was about to answer Rhine.
Suddenly, Wind Motion’s scanning device emitted a piercing alarm sound.
A large red dot appeared, followed by a black prompt popping up.
“Warning: Vanguard Fortress – Black Stone of the Mechanical Clan scanned.”
“This is bad, we’ve run into Black Stone Fortress.”
Li Menghan reported in shock.
“Quick, turn the ship’s bow and escape! Everyone prepare for battle!”
Su Ming was instantly shocked when he heard this news. He stood up from the command chair and immediately issued the order.
The reason he wanted to attack Black Stone Fortress before was that he had no choice; that guy was lurking near the treasure’s location, and the treasure might have even been dug up by it.
But the situation was different now; he had already gotten the item.
Su Ming didn’t want to fight it at all; every death was a loss. Moreover, if they discovered that his ship contained a large amount of Eternal Metal, he couldn’t even imagine how many Mechanical Clan forces it would attract.
“Yes!”
Timi immediately carried out Su Ming’s order and sounded the piercing battle alarm.
At this moment, inside Black Stone Fortress.
On the virtual operation screen, lines of analysis information kept popping up.
“Warning: Federal Level 4 Battleship scanned!”
“Analyzing friendly and enemy combat power!”
“Target known: one Pseudo V-generation Mecha, 17 Fourth Generation Mecha-Thunder Control units.”
“Several unknown combat powers.”
“Comparing troop strength!”
“Warning: The chance of victory is only 47%, less than 50%!”
“Generating plan: Retreat!”
“Please initiate emergency retreat immediately!”
Sato looked at the displayed analysis data and plan, and immediately issued the command hoarsely.
“Retreat!”
In the starry sky.
Black Stone Fortress and Wind Motion simultaneously turned around and fled in the opposite direction.
Inside Wind Motion’s central control.
Su Ming and the others rushed to the mobile platform at extreme speed, just as they were about to take the mobile platform to the hangar.
Timi was also startled when she saw Black Stone Fortress suddenly turn around, and she called out in surprise.
“Commander Su Ming, wait a moment. You don’t need to go out to battle.”
“Why?”
Su Ming was also taken aback, then asked in confusion.
“The enemy also turned around and fled.”
Timi explained with a slight smile.
Su Ming and the others exchanged glances after hearing Timi’s words, unsure of what to say.
At this moment, Rhine coughed and said.
“Boss, were we perhaps too nervous? It seems the enemy is more panicked than we are.”
“Caution is the parent of safety.”
Su Ming replied somewhat awkwardly.
“Boss is right.”
Rhine and the others quickly responded.
More than an hour later.
Timi glanced at the scanning device and reported to Su Ming.
“Commander Su Ming, we have now completely shaken off the enemy, but where do we fly next? If we keep flying randomly, I’m afraid we’ll get even more lost.”
“You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll let Little Grey lead the way!”
Su Ming pondered for a moment, then stood up and said.
“That’s right, there’s also Little Grey.”
Rhine and the others said happily.
“Then I’ll trouble you.”
Timi nodded and replied.
Su Ming then took Little Grey and walked towards the mobile platform.
Not long after, Su Ming piloted the Pseudo V-generation Mecha – Shadow Lord and detached from Wind Motion.
Inside the cockpit, he said to Little Grey.
“Little Grey, tell me where to fly to find Red Rock.”
“Squeak squeak!”
Little Grey then flew up and pointed the way for Su Ming with its paw.
Su Ming piloted the Mecha and flew in the direction Little Grey indicated, and Wind Motion immediately followed.
