Chapter 535 Return
by SunflowerSeven days later.
Countless mechanical sappers and many mechs, like diligent bees, were collecting wreckage on the battlefield and pulling it back towards Fallen Light and Gray Angel.
In the public communication channel, excited shouts sounded from time to time.
“This is coordinate area 1341, 3222, 2111. Several Third Generation Mecha · Chaser have been found. Is anyone coming over to collect them?”
“Oh, what do you want Wind Chaser for? At the very least, it should be a Gun Knight, right?”
“Alright, I’ll pick one and pull it back.”
“Pay attention, everyone. If the damage is too high, don’t pull it back!”
“Got it!”
Fallen Light.
The entire ship, except for the main passage which was left as a single lane for movement, had all other large passages completely filled with various mech wreckage and dismantled ship equipment, blocking them completely.
As for the smaller passages, they weren’t much better, also filled with various mechanical parts and single-soldier armor.
At this moment, Rhine walked sideways through the living area passage and saw a non-commissioned officer facing his comrade and saying.
“Chen Tao, dismantle those beds in your room and throw them away.”
“Ah, where will I sleep then?”
“Are you stupid? Go back and sleep in the mech cockpit. If you dismantle the beds, you can fit dozens more sets of Third Generation exoskeleton armor. How valuable are those things!”
“That makes sense. Then I might as well dismantle all the furniture in the room.”
“You’re just thinking of it now? We dismantled them long ago! The more we load, the more bonus we get, and we can marry a wife when we go back.”
“Yes, General Rhine!”
Chen Tao was halfway through his excited speech when he saw Rhine walking over. His expression tightened, and he quickly saluted.
“Mm.”
Rhine didn’t say anything either, just nodded slightly and continued walking forward.
Soon, Rhine arrived at the hangar.
The originally neat and spacious hangar now looked like a completely filled warehouse. Inside, one could even see a dismantled damaged Star Core Heart (low configuration) and an advanced superluminal flight device.
At this moment, ONeill commanded his subordinates, shouting.
“You guys, load the stuff you pulled back into Exit Passage 42! Be serious when loading it. Don’t just stuff it in casually. Pack it all tightly. If I see you wasting space, I’ll deduct your money later!”
“Yes, Sir!”
One by one, Iron Guard pulled the damaged mechs and stuffed them into the exit passage.
Rhine saw this scene, his mouth twitching incessantly. He then walked up to ONeill and said.
“ONeill, this is too much. You’re even stuffing the exit passages? How will we fight later?”
“Oh, I didn’t I leave a few passages that can be used for sorties.”
“That’s still not enough.”
“What are you afraid of? Boss is here, right? Who dares to intercept us? If we don’t salvage more now, we’ll regret it later. Let me tell you, there’s so much wreckage here, we can’t even salvage it all!”
ONeill said excitedly.
“Forget it, do as you please.”
Rhine couldn’t be bothered to argue with ONeill. After all, what this guy said wasn’t wrong.
“By the way, where’s Boss? Why haven’t I seen him?”
ONeill asked Rhine.
“He should be on the ship’s external platform looking at the scenery. Boss has been in a bad mood lately, don’t go provoke him!”
Rhine said to ONeill.
“Understood.”
ONeill quickly nodded in response.
Fallen Light · External Operations Platform.
Su Ming activated his colonial armor, sat on the metal railing, quietly watched everyone working busily, and lightly sighed.
At this moment, Celes floated to Su Ming’s side and said.
“Su Ming, why are you sitting here by yourself?”
“Mm, what is it?”
Su Ming turned his head to look at Celes and asked.
“Nothing. Are you in a bad mood?”
“No.”
“I don’t believe it. Don’t just sit there. I’ll take you to see something good.”
Celes said to Su Ming.
“Something good?”
Su Ming was slightly startled.
“Just come with me.”
Celes urged Su Ming.
“Alright!”
Su Ming slowly stood up.
Celes led Su Ming and floated towards Gray Angel behind Fallen Light.
The two got closer and closer to Gray Angel, and the damaged hull of Gray Angel came into view. However, even though it was severely damaged, the entire ship still gave off a suffocating sense of oppression.
Soon, Su Ming and Celes entered the interior of Gray Angel through a damaged hole.
Su Ming saw mechanical sappers one by one, loading the salvaged wreckage into the empty spaces in the corridors. The entire Gray Angel was also packed full.
“So much wreckage?”
“Who would complain about having too many materials? Of course, the more the better. We should definitely stuff more in wherever we can.”
Celes said to Su Ming with a smile.
“Alright.”
Su Ming nodded slightly.
“This way.”
Celes led Su Ming towards the central command room.
As Su Ming walked forward, he checked the facilities inside Gray Angel. He found that many pieces of equipment inside were damaged, and even parts of the main structure were deformed. Exposed wires could be seen everywhere.
Hiss~
The lights on the ceiling of the corridor were flickering.
“Gray Angel is so severely damaged?”
“That’s right. Originally, this ship was in a sunken state. Although Elsiepha later merged with Gray Angel, causing this ship to evolve, the evolution wasn’t completed!”
Celes explained to Su Ming.
“I see. Is this ship easy to repair?”
Su Ming nodded slightly.
“It’s easy to repair if you say it is, and it’s not easy to repair if you say it isn’t.”
Celes said with a smile.
“Your answer? Why does it sound so awkward to me? Normally, easy to repair is easy to repair, and not easy to repair is not easy to repair.”
“Whether it’s easy to repair mainly depends on you.”
“What does that have to do with me?”
Su Ming’s eyelids twitched inexplicably as he asked.
“Of course, it’s related to you. We have all the materials for repair now. If you can give me enough energy crystals, I only need three months to repair this ship!”
Celes said to Su Ming.
“Aren’t energy crystals quite easy to get? How many do you need?”
Su Ming asked.
“Not many. Just 300 of those Level 6 energy crystals like last time will do.”
Celes said with a smile.
When Su Ming heard Celes’s words, his face instantly turned as black as charcoal.
“300? Even if you sold me, I couldn’t get that many. Even the Shenji Family, who specializes in the energy business, probably couldn’t produce this much, right?”
“They don’t all have to be Level 6. Converting them to lower levels is also fine.”
Celes looked at Su Ming with anticipation.
“Still don’t have them.”
Su Ming kept shaking his head.
“Then we can only repair it slowly. But even slow repair requires a lot of energy. I remember the Federal Government built a Heavenly Base Heart, didn’t they? Why don’t you borrow from the Federal Government?”
Celes looked at Su Ming with anticipation.
“Do you think that’s possible? The Federal Government doesn’t even have enough for themselves.”
Su Ming replied with a slight twitch of his mouth.
“Didn’t Saint Jocks have a Heavenly Base Heart?”
“Saint Jocks’s was probably already stripped by the Dark Star Empire and taken back to repair their own Heavenly Base Heart.”
“Oh, right. Go find the Shabask Kingdom. They also have a Heavenly Base Heart, and it’s a very advanced one.”
Celes said excitedly.
“Thank you. You really think highly of me, saying just borrow it.”
“They can’t use that much energy anyway. Besides, aren’t you on good terms with Shadr?”
“Let’s talk about it later.”
Su Ming replied with a headache.
“Alright.”
Celes replied helplessly.
At this moment, the two walked up to the tightly closed door of the central control room.
Click!
On the entire metal door, lines lit up one by one, and then it opened towards both sides.
Su Ming and Celes walked in.
The entire central control room was very spacious, with a square structure. In the central area was a huge circular central control console.
On the left and right sides were two vertical sub-control consoles. In the very center, there was a command platform with a throne on it.
This layout was exactly the same as the central control room of the Gray Angel that Dragon Dust had newly built. The only difference was that the central control room here was a bit messy and old.
At this moment, Celes led Su Ming to the throne on the command platform and said with a smile.
“Aren’t you going to sit down and try out your future star destroyer?”
“Okay!”
When Su Ming heard Celes say that, he was also a little moved, so he sat down.
Swish!
Instantly, lines of golden light bands lit up on the Gray Angel’s console and the surrounding walls.
Immediately after, a virtual operation screen appeared out of thin air in front of Su Ming.
“Celes, bring up Gray Angel’s data. I want to see it!”
“Okay!”
Celes replied with a smile.

Su Ming looked at the displayed parameters, his breathing becoming a little rapid.
“Are the parameters for this ship correct?”
“Were you scared? Let me tell you, this Gray Angel has already surpassed the scope of a legendary star destroyer. When it unfolds its final form, the entire ship blooms like a flower bud, and its power is even stronger than the Nether Flower of Rainy City. You should know how many sets of energy supply the Nether Flower has. With one shot, even a Type VI Hero-level monster wouldn’t dare to resist it head-on. Otherwise, it would be crippled even if it didn’t die.”
Celes said to Su Ming.
“Amazing!”
“And that’s not all. Its speed is also super terrifying. Currently, in the entire universe, I haven’t seen a ship faster than it!”
“Mm, it feels like this ship is more than just a little stronger than Dragon Dust’s.”
Su Ming nodded in response.
“Oh, well, although Dragon Dust’s ship was replicated according to the blueprints, the craftsmanship wasn’t good, and the materials weren’t good either. The old Gray Angel was personally built by that mechanical friend. Its performance itself far exceeds the new Gray Angel, and with the fusion and evolution, it’s naturally even more powerful.”
Celes explained to Su Ming.
“Understood.”
Su Ming nodded.
“Are you excited? Then when we go back, quickly think of a way to get me energy so I can seize the time to repair it.”
Celes said to Su Ming with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Ming rubbed his forehead and said to Celes.
“I knew you brought me to see this because you had something in mind.”
“Don’t say that!”
“Alright, I’ll think of a way.”
“Oh yeah!”
Celes shouted with great joy.
Three days later · Morning.
Mechanical sappers were doing the final finishing touches, connecting Gray Angel to Fallen Light.
Su Ming was still sitting on Fallen Light’s external platform, looking at the distant starry sky, his expression a little lonely.
These past few days, he had been looking forward to Bai Yiyi appearing, but she hadn’t appeared since that battle.
At this moment, Rhine walked to Su Ming’s side and said respectfully.
“Boss, the wreckage salvage is almost done, the ship is also fixed, everything is ready.”
“Mm.”
Su Ming just replied faintly.
Rhine was silent for a while, and finally spoke.
“We should go.”
“Mm, let’s go.”
Su Ming sighed slightly, then stood up and said.
“Okay!”
Rhine nodded in response.
Su Ming and Rhine turned and walked towards the Fallen Light entrance.
Fallen Light’s Central Control Room.
Li Menghan, ONeill, and others saw Su Ming and Rhine walk in and called out one after another.
“Boss!”
“Okay, prepare to depart.”
Su Ming walked to the command chair and sat down.
“Yes.”
ONeill and the others responded with some reluctance.
Although they had collected a massive amount of wreckage, filling Gray Angel and Fallen Light to the brim. Even so, there was still a lot of valuable wreckage on the entire battlefield that hadn’t been salvaged. But no matter how unwilling they were, they could only give up, because they really couldn’t fit any more.
At this moment, Li Menghan immediately issued an order.
“Issue an all-ship broadcast notification, Fallen Light is about to return, everyone prepare.”
“Yes!”
The Operator immediately responded.
“Begin self-check now!”
Li Menghan then issued one command after another.
Normally, departure wouldn’t be so troublesome, but because ONeill had stuffed too much into Fallen Light, the entire ship was severely overloaded.
Therefore, before sailing, Li Menghan had to self-check all the ship’s circuits and equipment again to prevent any issues midway.
However, overloading a ship in space wasn’t a problem; it might just be more troublesome during superluminal travel. But fortunately, the superluminal flight device equipped on Fallen Light itself was very good, so the issue wasn’t major, as long as they didn’t land inside a planet upon returning to the Federal.
Soon, all preparations were complete.
Li Menghan turned her head and reported to Su Ming.
“General, we can depart.”
“Depart.”
Su Ming sighed and replied in a deep voice.
“Yes!”
Just as Li Menghan was about to activate the propulsion system, the scanning device suddenly showed a gray dot, and a prompt popped up.
“Warning: Organic entity is approaching Fallen Light!”
Su Ming and the others were slightly taken aback when they saw the prompt.
Li Menghan immediately activated the optical device and displayed the image.
They saw a mech drifting from a distance towards Fallen Light.
Su Ming looked at the mech slowly drifting over, his expression slightly moved. This mech was precisely the Fourth Generation Senior Customized Mecha · Radiant Envoy.
Rhine and the others looked at the floating mech, each showing an expression of disbelief.
“Sir, should I go and tow the mech over?”
ONeill asked softly.
“No need, I’ll do it myself.”
Su Ming took a deep breath, turned, and left the Central Control Room.
A moment later.
Fallen Light opened an exit, and Su Ming piloted Ilyinas to fly in front of the Radiant Envoy.
The cockpit of the entire Radiant Envoy was destroyed, with an exoskeleton suit and military uniform remaining inside.
Su Ming turned his head and looked at the surrounding starry sky, not seeing Bai Yiyi’s figure, and was silent for a few seconds.
He then opened the cockpit, took out a mahogany box, pushed it towards the starry sky, and murmured to himself.
“Don’t worry, I will bring this mech and the belongings back.”
After Su Ming finished speaking, he closed the cockpit, controlled Ilyinas to grasp the Radiant Envoy, and flew towards Fallen Light.
Inside Fallen Light’s Central Control Room.
Rhine and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Elu spoke to everyone.
“When Su Ming comes back later, we’ll act as if nothing happened, and no one should ask questions they shouldn’t.”
“Okay!”
Rhine and the others responded one after another.
Not long after, Su Ming walked into the Central Control Room and sat down in the command chair.
“Su Ming, Sir, can we depart now?”
Li Menghan asked.
“Depart!”
Su Ming replied in a deep voice.
Fallen Light’s propulsion system activated, and the entire ship towed Gray Angel as it moved into the distance, quickly leaving the battlefield ruins and entering a patch of white mist.
At this moment, Li Menghan looked at Su Ming and asked.
“Sir, where should we sail?”
“Little Grey, show the way!”
Su Ming said to Little Grey.
“Squeak squeak~”
Little Grey extended its small paw and pointed in a direction.
Li Menghan and the others immediately adjusted the ship’s heading, then proceeded at full speed, and soon Fallen Light completely disappeared.
Within the battlefield ruins.
The mahogany box drifted alone in the starry sky.
At this moment, Bai Yiyi’s figure slowly appeared. She reached out and grabbed the mahogany box, opened it, and a purple, eerie necklace was revealed.
—
Half a month later.
Fallen Light, with its stealth mode activated, towed Gray Angel, which was covered by mechanical octopuses, taking a detour and emerging from the junction of Mist Star Sea and Wormhole Spacetime.
They sailed back to the Federal along the edges of Donao Star Sea and Guangying Star Sea.
Inside the Central Control Room.
Su Ming sat in the command chair, drinking hot coffee, and constantly maintained the highest state of alert.
Rhine and the others stood by, cracking melon seeds and chatting.
“We’re finally going home!”
“I haven’t been back in years.”
“Yeah, calculating the time, we’re almost there. We can just make it back for the New Year.”
At this moment, ONeill held a document and walked up to Su Ming and the others with a smile, saying.
“Sir, the statistics for the wreckage spoils are out.”
“Good efficiency, report the specific gains.”
Su Ming said with a smile.
“Okay.”
ONeill immediately opened the report.
“Hurry up!”
Rhine and the others also urged him excitedly.
“I’ll report the mech statistics first. V Generation Mecha wreckage: 15 units, including 1 top-tier, 3 high-tier, 5 standard, and 6 low-tier!”
ONeill said chuckling.
“Wow, 15 V Generation Mecha! We’re really rich this time!”
Rhine and the others shouted with excitement.
“So many?”
Su Ming was also surprised.
“Not many. We salvaged the wreckage of the Allied Army and the Mechanical Clan, it’s very normal! Also, among these, two units are models produced by Apocalypse and Dark Star.”
ONeill explained to Su Ming.
“Why are there Dark Star and Apocalypse ones?”
Su Ming asked, slightly startled.
“The Mechanical Clan snatched them from the two countries and turned them into puppet mechs.”
ONeill replied chuckling.
“Okay, continue reporting!”
“Pseudo V-generation Mecha wreckage: 102 units, Fourth Generation Mecha wreckage: 1251 units, Third Generation Mech wreckage: 15221 units! As for the statistics of other gains, I’ve listed them in a table.”
ONeill chuckled and handed the document to Su Ming.
“Haha, Boss, we’re really hitting the jackpot this time.”
Rhine and the others were overjoyed.
Su Ming opened the document and quickly scanned the list, filled with emotion.
They were truly getting rich this time. Not to mention Gray Angel, the gains from just this salvage operation were astronomical.
However, repairing this wreckage would also be an exorbitant cost.
Thinking of this, Su Ming also felt a great headache.
At this moment, Fallen Light’s system displayed a prompt.
“Prompt: Received Federal Star Cluster Forum open signal source.”
Li Menghan then reported to Su Ming.
“Sir, we are about to arrive at the Federal.”
“Okay.”
Hearing this, Su Ming raised his wristband and tried to log into the Star Cluster Forum.
As a result, he successfully logged in.
The entire Star Cluster Forum was very lively, with countless posts popping up like mushrooms after rain.
Su Ming was bored, so he started browsing the posts.
“Congratulations to Shabask Kingdom for joining the Federal Government and migrating to the Old Galaxy!”
“Congratulations to Haichao Kingdom for migrating its entire nation to the Federal.”
Besides Shabask Kingdom, many Neutral Countries had also migrated to join the Federal, and many other Neutral Countries were also planning to migrate.
“Federal Government releases latest financial report, positive profitability expected this year!”
“Renowned Economic expert, Mr. Mankoli, publishes latest economic article, giving high praise to the Federal Government’s economy!”
At this moment, Su Ming saw an officially posted thread and clicked into it out of curiosity.
Since the Star Cluster Forum redesign, the official account rarely posted announcements.
“As the end of the year approaches, the Federal Government, in order to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and to welcome the many returning soldiers and officers. Decided to hold a grand celebration on New Year’s Day at the City Lord’s Mansion · Star Plaza, where all soldiers and officers who have contributed to the Federal will be publicly awarded medals and rewards.”
The comments below the post reached hundreds of millions.
“Wow, public medal awarding!”
“We can witness history.”
“Just thinking about it is exciting!”
“I feel like I’m seeing the grandeur of the Federal back then!”
Su Ming checked the time. There were still some days left until the end of the year, so time was quite ample. Getting there in time shouldn’t be a problem.
He continued scrolling down through the posts, and threads filled with insults appeared before his eyes.
“Oh my, you barbarians from the Dark Star Empire, look at this? Fresh fruit! So expensive! Can you afford it? Oh, right, I forgot, how could you possibly afford it? You haven’t even seen it!”
“Bah, what’s so great about it? Only a small portion of your people can afford it.”
“It’s nothing great, but at least we don’t have to eat corpse powder! Wait, it seems you can’t even afford corpse powder!”
“You’re the one who can’t afford it!”
“What, not convinced? Look how prosperous it is here. The shops on the street have everything you want, and the prices are super cheap. Do you have that?”
“You…”
“I just don’t understand, how did you endure such difficult lives? Is the Emperor your father? If it were me, I would have run away long ago!”
“Brother, how can I immigrate to the Federal? Do you accept us there?”
“Don’t be arrogant and smug, Federal. You’re about to be besieged. When that happens, everything you have will be ours!”
“Oh! Barbarians, only know how to rob!”
Su Ming saw so many people with Dark Star Empire and Apocalypse God Country IPs asking how to immigrate, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
It seemed that after the Star Cluster Forum became interconnected, the impact on the two countries was growing.
In fact, Apocalypse and Dark Star were going crazy. The problem was that they couldn’t shut down the Federal’s signal source, and domestic control was very ineffective, as any electronic device could receive the signal.
At this moment, another thread filled with insults was quickly pushed to the top. The poster’s ID was Gentle Little Fairy.
Su Ming saw the ID, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he reached out to open the post.
The entire thread was super lively.
Afterglow of Light (Saint Eleanor Knights Seventh Seat · Alora): A stray dog who even lost the Abyss of Fallen dares to shout here?
Gentle Little Fairy (Mia): Oh, I wonder who lost the battle of Abyss of Fallen and the battle of Tidal Star Sea, throwing away their armor and fleeing.
Afterglow of Light: Mia, if you have the guts, come out and duel. Don’t be like a coward hiding behind the defense line!
Gentle Little Fairy: Oh my, a duel? When have your Saint Eleanor Knights ever dueled fairly and squarely? You must have used the Knight’s Code as toilet paper!
Afterglow of Light: Don’t say useless things there, just say you’re scared!
Seeing this, Su Ming smiled, typed a line, and sent it.
“Teacher Mia, I support you! You don’t need to personally deal with these clowns, I can do it!”
After this was sent, the entire thread instantly exploded.
“Holy crap, I’m not mistaken, am I! The one speaking seems to be General Su Ming!”
“It really is!”
Immediately, countless bullet comments floated across.
Mia was also startled to see Su Ming suddenly speak, then she mocked him with great delight.
“Oh my, my student is right. I don’t need to personally deal with you. Don’t you want to duel? Beat Su Ming first!”
Afterglow of Light: Do you think I’m stupid? I wouldn’t duel him. You just know how to call for external help.
Gentle Little Fairy: Are you chickening out? You can also call for external help. Call out your Regiment Commander!
Mia kept mocking, but unfortunately, the other party remained silent.
Su Ming also chuckled speechlessly when he saw this.
At this moment, Li Menghan walked up to Su Ming and reported to him.
“Su Ming, Sir, we are about to arrive at the Kargol Defense Line.”
“I understand.”
Su Ming dismissed the wristband, raised his head, and said to Li Menghan.
This time, Su Ming didn’t choose the large defense line for the return voyage, but prepared to enter the Federal from the small defense line.
“Sir, with so many things we’re transporting, can we pass through smoothly?”
ONeill and the others asked nervously.
If so many things were declared normally, they might be confiscated! After all, these are relics of the Allied Army.
If they were confiscated, they would truly cry to death!
“You don’t need to worry, I have my ways. Li Menghan, send a communication request to the defense line.”
Su Ming said to Li Menghan.
“Yes!”
Li Menghan immediately began operating, sending an encrypted communication request to the highest command center of the Kagol Defense Line.
“Communication request sent!”
“Waiting for response.”
“The other party has accepted, establishing encrypted communication connection.”
General Lin Ling’s virtual image was immediately projected in front of Su Ming.
“General Lin Ling!”
Su Ming greeted in a deep voice.
That year, the Thirteenth Corps took this defense line when returning from the expedition to the Dark Star Empire.
“General, do you have any orders?”
Lin Ling was also surprised to see Su Ming and immediately saluted Su Ming.
“We need to pass the checkpoint, clear us immediately.”
“Sorry, General, it’s a special period now, and all require on-site inspection.”
Lin Ling replied with an apologetic expression.
After hearing this, Su Ming frowned and directly used his authority.
“As a Federal General, I officially notify you that I am carrying out a special confidential escort mission. Please immediately open the defense line passage and allow us to pass without inspection.”
When Lin Ling heard Su Ming’s words, her heart fluctuated like the sea. She knew Su Ming was a candidate for Great General, but she didn’t expect him to have been secretly promoted. She then spoke.
“General, please wait a moment while I verify your authority.”
“Okay!”
Su Ming replied in a deep voice.
During special periods, within the Federal system, only Great Generals, the Council Speaker, and the Vice Council Speaker have the right to enter the defense line without inspection.
Everyone else, regardless of who they are, must undergo inspection and reporting.
Time passed second by second, and the hearts of Rhine and others were in their throats, fearing that verification would not pass, which would mean big trouble.
Fortunately, Lin Ling quickly successfully verified Su Ming’s authority and immediately spoke.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, my end has successfully verified it. I will open the defense line now!”
“Thank you.”
Su Ming nodded slightly in response, then cut off the communication.
“It worked.”
Rhine and the others immediately cheered.
“Look at how little ambition you have.”
Su Ming said with a smile, scolding Rhine and the others.
At this moment, Celes’s projection asked with a yawn.
“Don’t be happy too soon, where will we dock after we go in? If we dock at Starlight City, the secret will be exposed in minutes.”
When Rhine and the others heard Celes’s words, the smiles on their faces froze, and they turned to look at Su Ming and asked.
“Right, Boss, where do we stop?”
“Go to Worlds Eye, I’ll ask Shadr to lend me a port.”
Su Ming raised his wristband and sent a message to Shadr.
“Boss is mighty!”
ONeill and the others said with great surprise when they heard Su Ming’s words.
“That’s a good idea, let’s head to Worlds Eye then!”
Celes said with a smile.
“Yes.”
Li Menghan immediately piloted Fallen Light through the defense line, reactivating the superluminal flight device to fly towards the area where Worlds Eye is located.
—
More than ten hours later.
Outside Worlds Eye · Dark Moon Spaceport.
Shadr waited anxiously with Lumm and others, constantly looking out at the distant starry sky and saying.
“Why aren’t they here yet!”
“Young Master, they should be arriving soon, please wait a little longer patiently.”
Lumm said to Shadr.
At this moment, the distant starry sky suddenly rippled, followed by Fallen Light pulling Gray Angel emerging from Subspace. However, Gray Angel was invisible to the naked eye due to the large number of mechanical octopuses attached to it.
“They’re here!”
Shadr said excitedly.
Soon Fallen Light pulling Gray Angel approached the Dark Moon Spaceport, but did not dock.
At this moment, Fallen Light opened a boarding exit.
The V Generation Mecha · Gray Hunter Envoy rushed out at extreme speed, flew into the Dark Moon Port, and landed steadily on the parking bay.
Click!
The cockpit opened.
Rhine and Su Ming floated down.
“Big Brother, you’re finally here!”
Shadr walked up excitedly and shouted.
“You came so early, you must have been waiting for a long time.”
Su Ming asked with a smile.
“No, Big Brother, is there something you need from me?”
Shadr replied laughingly.
“Thank you for the matter with the Curvature Ring last time.”
“Oh, I thought it was something else, you don’t need to be so polite about this.”
“Okay, I came to you this time to borrow a quieter port. I need to dock ships long-term and not be disturbed!”
Su Ming said directly to Shadr.
“I thought it was something else! No need to borrow, this Dark Moon Spaceport was originally the Dark Star Empire’s, and now I’m giving it to you. No one except your people is allowed to approach.”
Shadr said very readily.
“Thank you very much!”
“Big Brother, you’re being a stranger now. If you need anything else, just tell me!”
“Well, there is indeed one favor I need your help with, but it’s a bit big.”
Su Ming said with some embarrassment.
“What favor? Just say it. If I can do it, there’s no problem. If I can’t, I’ll go find Father and figure out a way for you.”
Shadr replied without thinking.
He always kept in mind his Father’s teachings to him.
You have no talent, no ability, and your social skills are a mess. Since that’s the case, you should just cling to Su Ming’s leg. As long as Su Ming doesn’t die, then when you inherit the throne in the future, you can sit securely.
“It’s like this, I need energy.”
Su Ming said thick-skinnedly.
“Oh, I thought it was something else. It’s just energy, isn’t it? We Shabask Kingdom have tons of it.”
Shadr didn’t take it seriously at all.
“Cough cough, I don’t need just a little, but a lot.”
Su Ming’s face was slightly red when he said this.
“How much is ‘a lot’?”
Shadr replied confusedly.
“That is, besides the energy share you normally use, I need all the other energy produced by the Heavenly Base Heart.”
Su Ming’s face was slightly red when he said this.
“Huh?”
Shadr was also startled when he heard this; he didn’t expect Su Ming to need so much energy.
“This is indeed a bit much, should I ask for less?”
Su Ming himself was a little embarrassed.
“No, Big Brother, that’s not what I meant. I just didn’t expect you to need so much. In that case, I’ll tell Father not to sign the energy supply agreement with the Federal.”
Shadr said to Su Ming.
“The Federal is negotiating an energy supply agreement with you?”
Su Ming was also startled.
“Yes, because of mass production, the Federal’s energy consumption has increased several times. After we relocated here, they came to talk to us, but due to price reasons, it hasn’t been finalized yet. Now, we don’t need to talk anymore.”
Shadr said laughingly.
“Then how much do I have to pay you?”
Su Ming asked with a twitching mouth.
“No money needed. My Father said, whatever you want, we’ll give it to you, no money needed!”
Shadr said laughingly.
Rhine, who was on the side, heard this and his eyes widened.
How generous this guy is, giving away ports and energy.
“Okay, then I won’t be polite with you.”
Su Ming was also dumbfounded when he heard Shadr’s words. This guy is really simple-minded, even saying his own Father’s words. However, he accepted this favor.
“Big Brother, it’s rare for you to come back, let me throw you a welcome party!”
Shadr said to Su Ming.
“No need, I still have many things to deal with and arrange. When I’m done, we’ll call Su Yuan and gather together!”
Su Ming shook his head and replied.
“Okay, then I’ll go back and handle the energy matter.”
“Okay!”
“Bye bye!”
Shadr left with Lumm and others.
Su Ming turned his head and said to Rhine.
“Rhine, you take people to take over the Dark Moon Spaceport. Clear out everyone who isn’t one of us. No idle personnel are allowed here.”
“Understood!”
Rhine immediately responded.
Several hours later, Rhine and others completely took over the Dark Moon Spaceport, and they shut down the gravity device here.
Fallen Light and Gray Angel sailed into the port and docked at the designated mooring positions.
ONeill’s subordinates began to move the wreckage from the ship bit by bit, transporting it to the large warehouse within the port for storage.
The entire area of the Dark Moon Spaceport is very large, enough for Su Ming and his crew to store and repair ships here.
At this moment, Su Ming gathered all the senior members, including Rhine and ONeill.
“Now, let’s have a simple meeting.”
Su Ming said to everyone.
“Okay!”
Rhine and the others replied excitedly.
“Celes, I’ve settled the energy matter with Shabask Kingdom. Later, just have the mechanical engineers set up the energy lines.”
Su Ming said to Celes.
“That’s great, I knew you would be fine.”
Celes replied excitedly.
“Don’t be happy too soon. I’ve solved the energy issue for you, you need to help me repair Gray Angel as soon as possible.”
“Understood.”
“Also, you have to be responsible for repairing those mecha wreckage.”
Su Ming said to Celes.
“Huh? No way, this is also assigned to me?”
“Nonsense, those pseudo-V Generation and V Generation Mecha, how can they repair them? Finding others to repair them is very expensive and prone to problems.”
“Alright.”
Celes replied helplessly.
“Rhine, from now on, you will be responsible for the security of this port.”
Su Ming said to Rhine.
“No problem.”
Rhine nodded in agreement.
“ONeill, you are responsible for providing logistical support. Whatever Celes needs, you find a way to help her solve it. If you really can’t solve it, then come find me.”
Su Ming said to ONeill.
“Understood!”
“Also, you send someone to properly return Ames and their relics to the Seventh Army.”
“No problem, leave this to me.”
ONeill assured Su Ming.
“Ankajia, Zhang Yi, you two come back to the Federal with me to handle some matters.”
Su Ming said to Ankajia and Zhang Yi.
“Okay!”
The two immediately nodded in response.
“Finally, I want to solemnly remind you again. The batch of wreckage we brought back is absolutely not allowed to be leaked or sold privately! I am not joking with you. Although this batch of wreckage is our salvaged spoils of war, in essence, they belong to the Allied Army. Once the news leaks out, everyone will come looking for us.”
Su Ming very seriously explained the stakes to everyone.
Although he has Dragon White backing him, this matter is probably difficult for Dragon White to handle, and they might have to give up a large portion then.
“Understood!”
Rhine and the others replied with serious expressions.
“Alright, the meeting ends here. Everyone did a good job this time. Regarding bonuses, I will have ONeill distribute them to you.”
Su Ming raised his wristband and transferred 50 billion federal currency to ONeill.
“Yay!”
Rhine and the others replied excitedly.
“Meeting adjourned, everyone go get busy!”
Su Ming said to everyone with a smile.
