Chapter 570: Joining Forces

At this moment, Rhein, who was beside him, suddenly said to Su Ming in surprise, “Boss, look at the Star Cluster Forum quickly. Because of the Great Retreat, it’s about to turn the world upside down.”

Upon hearing Rhein’s words, Su Ming raised his wristband and logged into the Star Cluster Forum, immediately seeing protest post after protest post being pushed to the top.

Su Ming opened the hottest protest post and saw it clearly written: “I strongly protest Council President Long Bai’s retreat order. This order is simply handing over Cuilan Star and Nether Moon Star on a silver platter, trampling on the achievements that soldiers guarded with their blood!”

“I just don’t understand. The Black Flame Star Defense Line has collapsed, yet instead of thinking about how to take it back, they are retreating!”

“That’s right. That is all Federal territory; not a single inch is allowed to be lost! If we are afraid and retreat now, then one day we will have nowhere left to retreat to!”

“This is a wrong decision. Everyone should call together to retract the Great Retreat order!”

“Retract the retreat order, recover the lost defense lines!”

Su Ming browsed for a while, his expression becoming increasingly grave.

It seems the Federal public is extremely resistant to the Great Retreat.

However, this situation is normal. After all, shrinking the defense line is equivalent to the enemy fighting their way inside. Not to mention the panic among the people of Di Yan Star, the people of the Third Planet also feel very uneasy.

— — Outside the starry sky of Di Yan Star. The originally empty starry sky had undergone an earth-shaking change.

Rows of defense weapons of different models, under the guidance of professional technicians, precisely moved to designated positions and deployed.

Ships returning from retreat drove over from the distance. Squads of patrolling soldiers piloting mechas were orderly patrolling the newly reconstructed defense line.

In the public channel, voices of conversation kept ringing out. “S21 area construction complete!” “This is the Flying Bat Squad, currently guiding the Marek transport ship to the designated inspection area for inspection.”

At this moment, the distant, already cleared starry sky suddenly rippled in large swaths. The scanning devices of the surrounding retreating ships all issued warnings, and they drove away from the abnormal area one after another.

In an instant, the massive Sea God Fortress, dragging the dilapidated Black Tide Fortress, was the first to emerge from subspace.

Following closely, the Nether Moon Star headquarters, Star Destroyer Deep Blue, and other ships emerged one after another.

Many of the ships that had cleared the way saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise in the public communication channel. “Look quickly, isn’t that the Sea God Fortress?” “And the Black Tide Fortress, but the damage is so severe!” “I see the Nether Moon Star headquarters; it’s the troops from the Mingyue Star Defense Line retreating!” “Isn’t that Star Destroyer Leiji? General Su Ming has returned too!”

“If that’s the case, then that warship should be back too. Where is it!” “Over there!”

“Wow, that warship looks so domineering, the oppressive feeling is so strong, I can feel it even from so far away!” “That’s right, but it just feels a bit dilapidated, like it hasn’t been repaired yet.”

For a time, many ships stopped, and countless people gazed at the Ancient Legendary Star Destroyer · Gray Angel.

In the central control room of Star Destroyer Leiji. Timmy reported to Su Ming. “Lord Su Ming, we have arrived at the outer defense line of the Di Yan Star defense line.” “Hmm, follow the main force into the territory.” Su Ming said with a calm expression.

“Yes!” Timmy replied respectfully.

At this moment, prompts popped up on the virtual operation screen. “Friendly reminder: We are about to enter the Di Yan Star defense line. After all ships have passed, please proceed to the designated area to wait for orders!”

Timmy glanced at the prompt, then commanded subordinates to orderly follow the fleet inside. More than three hours later, the retreating fleet from Nether Moon Star successfully entered the Di Yan Star defense line.

Rhein asked curiously. “Boss, what do we do next?” “Wait for orders.” Su Ming replied casually.

Buzz, buzz~ At this moment, the wristbands of Su Ming, Rhein, and others vibrated one after another. Su Ming looked down at the popped-up message. “Respected General Su Ming, please proceed to the Cosmic Military Headquarters · Blacklight Fortress to attend the plenary meeting.”

“Boss, we just arrived and we have to have a meeting already!” Rhein said with some surprise. “Normal. Timmy, head to Blacklight Fortress!” Su Ming issued an order to Timmy. “Yes!” Timmy immediately controlled Star Destroyer Leiji to change course.

At this moment, in the outer starry sky, a war correspondent piloting an Azure Wing Mecha pointed the camera at the retreating troops from the Mingyue Star Defense Line and reported passionately. “Everyone, look! The last batch of troops from the Mingyue Star Defense Line has retreated. Now the troops from the three major defense lines have successfully joined forces at Di Yan Star. This is a historic moment, and I will continue to report the follow-up situation for you.”

Blacklight Fortress · Dock No. 9. Star Destroyer Leiji slowly drove in, precisely latching onto the fixing devices. At this moment, the dock wall split open, extending a metal passage to connect to the exit of Leiji. Click! The exit opened. Su Ming, dressed in his General uniform and bringing Rhein, Ankajia, and others, walked out.

Along the way, soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor stood straight upon seeing Su Ming and the others, raising their hands in a salute. “General!” Su Ming nodded slightly in response and walked toward the moving platform. Soon, they sat on the moving platform and moved toward the Cosmic Military Headquarters.

Su Ming looked through the glass at the familiar city scenery outside, and for a moment, his spirit felt somewhat dazed. Several years had passed since he first came to the Cosmic Military Headquarters. For a moment, Su Ming also had a feeling that things had changed and people were no longer the same.

Inside the Cosmic Military Headquarters conference room. The generals from the three sides—Cuilan Star, Nether Moon Star, and Black Flame Star—had also joined forces here.

“Smanken.” At this moment, a burly man with a thick beard and a tough face walked up excitedly and shouted. “Aliku, long time no see!” Smanken saw the man in front of him and replied with a smile.

“We haven’t seen each other for about two years. I didn’t expect to run into you here. We must get together later.” “No problem. How did things go on your side?” Smanken asked with a smile.

“Don’t mention it. This war was so frustrating to fight. We clearly won the Mingyue Star Defense Line battle, yet we ended up having to retreat. Then what was the point of us fighting to the death to defend it?”

“Don’t complain. It’s only because you won that you could retreat; otherwise, it would have been hard for you to retreat even if you wanted to. Do you see the generals from Sky Dome City? Every one of them is wounded. When they retreated, they were chased and bitten by the Dark Star Empire, and many people died. If the follow-up support troops hadn’t arrived, I don’t know how many more would have died.”

“How miserable. I heard Mo Xiu was seriously injured? Is it true or false?” “It’s true. Didn’t you notice he didn’t even come to attend the meeting?”

“Hmm, how did your Azure Blue Star Defense Line fight against the Mechanical Clan?” “They were quite powerful, but still lacking a bit. It felt not as intense as when we retreated from the Shabask Kingdom back then.”

“Oh, that’s right! I heard General Hessia captured a VI Type Hero Class · Kirami. Is it true or false?” “Of course it’s true.”

“That’s amazing. They all said Hessia was a ‘kept man’ who married into a family, but I didn’t expect him to be this fierce.” “Ahem, is that how you talk!” “Haha, slip of the tongue!”

“However, the most amazing person this time isn’t General Hessia, but General Su Ming! If it weren’t for him, the Mingyue Star Defense Line wouldn’t have won.” “I know that. His subordinates’ mechas are really high-end. There are over a dozen V Generation Mechas alone, and the number of pseudo-V Generation and IV Generation Mechas is outrageously high!”

“That’s nothing. The most amazing thing is the Star Destroyer that appeared last. Although it looks dilapidated, its combat power is incredibly astonishing. I feel it’s even more awesome than the Pure World Flower!” “That’s right, I saw the video circulating online. With that one shot, the mechanical gems of the Divine Authority Star were shattered. If that VI Type Fortress Kirami hadn’t stepped up at the critical moment, the Divine Authority Star would definitely have been finished!”

Just as everyone was discussing, the conference room door was pushed open. Dragon Dust led Long Shadow, Angelaite, Hessia, Su Ming, and others inside. “Lord Dragon Dust and the others are here!” Many generals were startled when they saw this and spoke up one after another.

At this moment, Commander Alekd walked over and spoke with Dragon Dust. “Thank you for your hard work!” “It’s nothing.” Dragon Dust replied with a smile.

At this time, General Gabres and General Sigrid walked up to Su Ming and said. “Su Ming!” “Gabres, Sigrid!” Su Ming greeted the two with a smile.

“You brat, you’re really not authentic!” Gabres punched Su Ming in the chest and complained. “Huh? What did I do?” Su Ming was also stunned and asked curiously.

“Nothing much, Gabres just feels you aren’t being a good friend. You have so many high-end troops in your hands, yet you didn’t come to support the Azure Blue Star Defense Line and instead ran to the side route. Our bond has really faded.” Sigrid said with a smile.

“Don’t say that. Don’t you two gatekeepers have the center route covered? Where would you need me!” Su Ming replied with a smile.

“Who said we don’t need you? If you were there, would I still need to cower inside the defense line? The three of us would have gone up and killed that guy Elosatin.” Gabres became more annoyed the more he thought about it.

“Hehe, next time there’s a chance, definitely!” Su Ming awkwardly agreed.

“Good, it’s a deal then!” Gabres said directly to Su Ming. “Uh, no.” Su Ming was left speechless and unable to laugh or cry. Isn’t this digging a pit for himself to jump into?

At this moment, Commander Alekd finished talking with Dragon Dust and walked toward the conference podium. Seeing this, everyone walked to their respective seats. Su Ming and the others also walked to the first row and sat down.

At this moment, Commander Alekd walked onto the conference podium and said with a serious expression. “Everyone is here, the meeting officially begins. I know many of you present have a lot of complaints and dissatisfaction regarding this withdrawal from the defense line, but I hope you can overcome and adjust yourselves, and do not affect the subsequent deployment! The situation we are facing now is very severe, do you understand?”

“Understood!” Everyone spoke up one after another.

“Very good. I will now start explaining the situation. The defense line we are falling back to is the internal defense line built with the three major planets: Di Yan Star, Steel Rock Star, and light iris star. This is our last line of defense. Once the enemy breaks through any point of this defense line, they can use it as a jumping point to attack the Third Planet directly. Therefore, we have no way out; we can only fight to the death!” Commander Alekd said in a deep voice.

“Understood!” Su Ming and the others replied seriously. In fact, Commander Alekd was right. If this defense line were broken through again, the next step would really be the defense battle of the Third Planet.

“Alright, let’s start allocating defense forces. First, the troops withdrawn from the Mingyue Star Defense Line will guard the Guang Qi Star Defense Line! The troops withdrawn from Sky Dome City will guard the Steel Rock Star Defense Line, and Di Yan Star will be guarded by me leading the First Legion!” Commander Alekd first stated the general allocation.

“No problem!” Dragon Dust and General Helageer replied in a deep voice. The overall allocation was about what they had expected.

“Next is a special transfer, General Su Ming!” Alekd turned his head to look at Su Ming. “Present!” Su Ming stood up and replied. “You will lead your troops to garrison Di Yan Star.” Alekd issued the order directly to Su Ming.

“Yes.” Upon hearing Alekd’s order, the corner of Su Ming’s mouth twitched slightly. He didn’t expect to be assigned to the Di Yan Star defense line. Although breaking through any of the three defense lines could lead directly to the Third Planet, in reality, the best jumping-off point was Di Yan Star. Therefore, the Di Yan Star defense line was most likely to be subjected to a strong attack, and this was also the place with the greatest defensive pressure, which was why Commander Alekd had transferred Su Ming over.

“That’s great!” Gabres and the others were overjoyed to hear that Su Ming was being transferred over. Legion Commander Thousand Lin and the others were a bit anxious, but seeing that Dragon Dust, Commander Fulaia, and others didn’t say anything, they had no way to object.

However, just at this moment, General Helageer stood up and said to Commander Alekd in a deep voice. “Commander, I have something to say.” “Go ahead!” Commander Alekd looked at General Helageer and said.

“You should know very well that we in Sky Dome City rarely take the initiative to ask for reinforcements, but we are very severely damaged now. Mo Xiu is still lying in the hospital and cannot participate in the war at all. Plus, not many defense weapons from the Black Flame Star Defense Line were withdrawn. Why don’t you transfer General Su Ming and the Thirteenth Corps to us?” General Helageer said to Commander Alekd.

The generals of Sky Dome City heard this and looked toward Alekd with full expectation. In fact, the reason they were fighting for Su Ming was not just for defense, but more importantly, to deal with the Dark Star Emperor and avenge their fallen brothers! They had taken to heart the Council’s previous suggestion to have Su Ming lead the team to retake the Black Flame Star Defense Line.

Alekd also furrowed his brows, then said to Helageer in a deep voice. “Helageer, you don’t need to worry about the defense weapons; the Federation will allocate them to you. Additionally, reserve troops will be dispatched to assist you in defense! As for General Su Ming, he must remain at Di Yan Star; the probability of a major battle breaking out here is the highest.”

“Commander Alekd.” Helageer just wanted to fight for it a bit more. Commander Alekd interrupted him directly and said in a deep voice. “That’s settled.” “Alright.” General Helageer replied regretfully.

“Dismissed!” Commander Alekd waved his hand and said. Many generals stood up and left one after another. General Sigrid turned his head and said to Su Ming with a smile. “It seems this time, we can fight side by side again.” “Hmm, I will need to ask for your guidance in the future.” Su Ming said modestly.

“Why say those polite things? When the time comes, we will advance and retreat together. If I’m a coward, I’ll write my name backward! Come on, we’ll treat you to a drink!” General Gabres said forthrightly. “Next time. I still have something to do on my side; I need to go find Commander Alekd first.” Su Ming said to the two with a smile. “Alright, let’s meet up later then.” Sigrid and the other nodded in response.

Su Ming immediately stood up and walked to Commander Alekd’s side, greeting him. “Commander Alekd!” “Su Ming, is there something the matter?” Alekd looked at Su Ming and said kindly. “It’s like this, my warship is severely damaged and needs to be sent back for repairs. Also, can I go back to the Third Planet?” Su Ming said to Commander Alekd.

“No problem. The Di Yan Star Defense Line won’t have issues that easily. Just keep your communication channels open. If anything happens, we will notify you immediately, and you just need to rush over in time.”

Commander Alec De approved it directly.

“Thank you, I’ll be going now.”

Su Ming immediately turned and left.

Inside the command room of the Star Destroyer Leiji.

Su Ming walked in, clapped his hands, and said.

“Everyone, come over here!”

After hearing this, Celes, Timmy, Li Menghan, Rhein, and Hugh Eun gathered around.

“I am holding a brief meeting now to explain the situation.”

Su Ming said to everyone.

“Alright!”

“We have now been assigned to the Di Yan Star Defense Line. Because its geographical location is further forward than the Steel Rock Star Defense Line on the left and the light iris star Defense Line on the right, it is the most likely place to be attacked first, and it is also the defense line with the greatest defensive pressure.”

“Understood!”

Timmy and the others nodded in response.

“What about the Gray Angel? We can’t leave it here too, right?”

Celes looked at Su and asked.

“The Gray Angel will not be left here. Take it back to the Shabask Kingdom to continue repairs.”

Su Ming said to Celes.

“No problem!”

Celes nodded in response.

“Also, I need to go back to the Third Planet, so I have some things to arrange. First, our fleet will remain at the Di Yan Star Defense Line. While I am away, Timmy and Rhein will be in charge of command!”

Su Ming said, looking at Timmy and Rhein.

“Yes!”

Both of them responded simultaneously.

“Menghan, pilot the Fallen Light to take me back, and Ankajia will come with me!”

Su Ming immediately said to Li Menghan and Ankajia.

“Yes!”

Li Menghan and Ankajia nodded in response.

“That’s settled then. Meeting adjourned!”

Su Ming said to everyone.

“Alright!”

Several hours later.

Outside the Worlds Eye, ripples appeared in the pitch-black starry sky.

The Ancient Legendary Star Destroyer · Gray Angel and the Fallen Light emerged from subspace.

Inside the central control room of the Fallen Light.

Su Ming sat in the command chair, resting his cheek on one hand, deep in thought.

At this moment, Li Menghan respectfully reported to Su Ming.

“My Lord, we have arrived at the Worlds Eye · Dark Moon Port.”

“Celes!”

Su Ming called out.

“I’m here!”

Celes’s projection immediately appeared.

“The repairs of the Gray Angel are left to you. You must fix it as soon as possible.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely repair it as fast as possible. But if you really go to find the Mechanical Clan later, remember to bring me along.”

“Got it. If there is any news, I will have Ankajia bring you over. Just focus on repairing the ship here.”

Su Ming instructed Celes.

“Okay, bye-bye!”

Celes said to Su Ming, and then her virtual image disappeared.

At this moment, Li Menghan turned on the optical device, displaying the image of the starry sky outside.

The Ancient Legendary Star Destroyer · Gray Angel slowly passed through the camouflaged sky and descended.

Densely packed mechanical engineering drones began to surround the Gray Angel to carry out repair work.

After watching, Su Ming turned his head to look at Li Menghan and said.

“Head to the Third Planet!”

“Yes!”

Li Menghan responded immediately.

Federal Government · Dawn Hall.

The large conference room was noisy, with many council members arguing incessantly.

Feilong and Jon stood at the entrance of the conference hall, their expressions very conflicted, looking as if they wanted to go in but didn’t dare to.

“Old Fei, how should we explain this to Lord Long Bai?”

Jon asked with a low mood.

“Sigh, I don’t know either.”

Feilong replied with a complex expression.

“What are you two doing standing here?”

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

Feilong and Jon were startled and hurriedly turned to look.

They saw Su Ming standing behind them, looking at them with a smile.

“Su Ming, when did you come back?”

“Just got back, and then I saw you two looking so gloomy. What happened?”

Su Ming asked curiously.

“Don’t mention it. We were ordered to support the Black Flame Star, but we ran into Pamier on the way and were beaten with no power to fight back, which caused the Black Flame Star Defense Line to fall because it didn’t receive timely support.”

Feilong explained with a complex expression.

“Pamier again?”

Su Ming frowned upon hearing Feilong’s words.

“Sigh, if only you were there, we wouldn’t have lost, and we could have even destroyed it!”

Feilong said with great regret.

“Stop sighing. Even if I were there, I might not necessarily win.”

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

“Now we don’t even know how to report back to Lord Long Bai. It’s really embarrassing.”

Feilong and Jon both sighed deeply.

“This matter isn’t entirely your fault; Pamier is very tricky itself. By the way, what’s wrong with the council? Why is it so noisy inside?”

Su Ming asked in confusion.

“What else could it be? The defense line collapsed, the enemy is about to kill their way to the doorstep, and everyone is scared to death.”

Feilong said to Su Ming.

“Oh, let me listen.”

Su Ming then carefully pushed open the conference room door and looked inside.

He saw Dragon White standing indifferently on the council platform, quietly watching the arguing council members.

The entire conference room was chaotic; one might mistake it for a vegetable market if they didn’t know better.

Su Ming then tilted his ear to eavesdrop.

At this moment, a patrol of soldiers walked by. When they saw Su Ming eavesdropping by the door, their mouths twitched slightly, and then they turned and left.

If it had been anyone else eavesdropping there, they would have already gone up and arrested them as a spy.

Inside the conference room at this time, many council members were arguing anxiously.

“With so many people retreating, how are we going to settle them!”

“Settlement is a minor issue; now the people below are starting to panic. If you ask me, we shouldn’t have retreated.”

“Can we win if we don’t retreat?”

“Then what should we do now? The enemy is about to kill their way over. Once the Di Yan Star Defense Line falls, the next step will be to attack the Third Planet!”

At this moment, Senior Councilor Amanfen sighed and stood up to ask.

“Lord Long Bai, the situation is very grim now, and the people below are panicking. We cannot continue to defend passively like this.”

“That’s right. Defending like this can hold for a while, but not forever. It will collapse sooner or later.”

Many council members echoed.

“Are you trying to shrink back?”

Dragon White asked coldly.

“No, we just want to know, Lord Long Bai, do you have any countermeasures?”

The many council members present looked at Dragon White with anticipation.

“Defend to the death!”

Dragon White did not tell everyone about the backup plan the federation had prepared because there was no way to tell them. The more people who knew, the more likely something would go wrong.

Everyone’s faces turned black upon hearing Dragon White’s reply.

At this time, Councilor Kangan stood up timidly, speaking with an uneasy expression.

“Lord Long Bai, why don’t we hand over the item? While the damage isn’t too severe yet, we can still bargain with the other side.”

The many council members on the scene were stunned, but immediately many followed and echoed.

“Councilor Kangan, this proposal is feasible!”

“Shut up! The item absolutely cannot be handed over. This kind of behavior is just courting death.”

Dragon White said coldly.

The many council members on the scene sighed helplessly.

Faraon and City Lord Alicia were also frowning as they looked at these council members.

These idiots actually wanted to hand over the item.

If that item fell into the hands of the alien race and they successfully merged with it, humans would become fish on a chopping block.

At this moment, Senior Councilor Baikedi stood up and gathered his courage to say to Dragon White.

“Lord Long Bai, I think you are right. We cannot harbor any wishful thinking about the alien race. We should persist in defending to the death, but…”

“But what?”

Dragon White looked at Baikedi and asked.

“But we also have to prepare for the worst.”

“Oh, what suggestions do you have?”

“I propose implementing the Sowing Plan, forming a long-range fleet, and leaving a spark of hope for humanity.”

Baikedi said to Dragon White, bracing himself.

“Yes, Lord Baikedi is right!”

“This proposal is good!”

Many council members echoed.

After listening to Baikedi’s words, Dragon White’s expression became increasingly cold.

This Sowing Plan is indeed quite good, but to put it bluntly, they are just afraid and want to slip away.

However, Dragon White did not expose their intentions. After all, it would be ugly to tear off the mask on some things.

In fact, this group of people had long planned to slip away. It’s just that because the defense lines are all controlled by Dragon White, they can’t get out, which is why they thought of proposing this Sowing Plan.

As long as Dragon White agrees to this plan, they can slip away.

At this moment, Dragon White also said coldly.

“Your proposal is not bad.”

“Really!”

Baikedi and the others replied excitedly.

“However, the timing is not ripe now, so it is shelved for the time being!”

Dragon White directly extinguished their hope.

“Lord Long Bai, we think the timing is about right. If we delay any longer, it won’t be possible to execute it later.”

Many council members became anxious.

“Alright, you don’t need to say anything more. That’s settled. Everyone has worked hard these days. Meeting adjourned, go back and rest.”

Dragon White did not give them a chance to continue persuading, declared the meeting adjourned, and turned to walk towards the side door.

Seeing the meeting adjourned, Su Ming said to Feilong and Jon.

“Meeting adjourned.”

“Uh, Su Ming, do you want to go see Lord Long Bai?”

Feilong asked embarrassedly.

“Yes, I do!”

Su Ming nodded and replied.

“That’s great, let’s go together!”

Feilong and Jon said with great joy, as if they had seen a savior.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Su Ming did not refuse.

The three turned and left, walking towards Dragon White’s office.

Soon they arrived at the door of Dragon White’s office, and they saw Cloud Soft standing at the door.

“Miss Cloud Soft, is Lord Long Bai inside?”

Su Ming asked politely.

“Lord Long Bai just returned and is inside approving documents.”

Cloud Soft replied respectfully.

“Hmm!”

Su Ming reached out and knocked on the door.

“Come in!”

Dragon White’s cold voice came from inside the office.

Su Ming opened the door and walked in with Feilong and Jon.

They saw Dragon White sitting at the desk, approving documents submitted from below.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming felt a bit of heartache. This Council Speaker position is really not something a human can do.

At this moment, Dragon White looked up. Seeing that it was Su Ming and Feilong who entered, he put down the pen in his hand and said calmly.

“What is the matter?”

After hearing this, Feilong and Jon gritted their teeth, knelt on one knee to plead guilty.

“Lord Long Bai, your subordinates are incompetent. We failed to support the Black Flame Star Defense Line in time, leading to its collapse. Please punish us!”

Dragon White looked at the two and said calmly.

“This matter is not your problem; Pamier was not something you could deal with in the first place. Moreover, your failure to support is not necessarily a bad thing.”

“Why?”

Feilong and Jon were stunned.

“Even if you had supported the Black Flame Star Defense Line in time, the defense line would at most have lasted a bit longer. It was going to collapse eventually anyway, so it’s better to retreat early.”

Dragon White replied rationally.

“Understood.”

Feilong and Jon breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully retreated.

Soon, only Su Ming and Dragon White were left in the office.

Dragon White looked at Su Ming and said somewhat tiredly.

“You did well regarding the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom and the Dark Star Empire. You successfully raided their foundation.”

“This is all what I should do, but unfortunately, even at this point, they still won’t withdraw their troops; instead, they are becoming even more frantic.”

Su Ming said with some regret.

“There is a saying: to make them perish, one must first make them mad! Without follow-up supplies, they can only be arrogant for a while longer; sooner or later, they will die.”

Dragon White said calmly to Su Ming.

“Yes.”

Su Ming agreed.

At this moment, Dragon White saw Su Ming’s face was a bit haggard, and said with heartache.

“You have worked hard this time. The upcoming war may be even more tragic; you must take care of your health.”

“Hmm, you too. By the way, I came back specifically for the matter of Pamier. This Pamier is a ticking time bomb for us. If we don’t find a way to deal with it, when we go to full-scale war with the Mechanical Clan later, problems will arise sooner or later. Feilong and the others’ encounter is the best example.”

Su Ming said to Dragon White.

“I know, but Pamier is not that easy to deal with. A large part of the reason why the Federation started the Bio-Optical Brain project is because of it.”

Dragon White said to him, feeling troubled.

“You are right, so in the final analysis, we still need to find the Mechanical Clan for help. Therefore, I want to apply to go to the underground secret room of the City Lord’s Mansion to use that machine to see if I can contact it.”

Su Ming said to Dragon White.

“It’s useless. You saw it last time, there was no response at all! There is a saying: it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. Instead of pinning hope on such an ethereal hope, it is better to carve out a bloody path yourself!”

Dragon White did not hold much hope.

“Lord Long Bai, you are right, but now it is imminent, so I still want to try.”

Su Ming knew that what Dragon White said was right.

If the Federation were given more time, Su Ming believes that the Federation would one day grow to a point where no one could shake it. It would definitely find a way to deal with Pamier, but now they have no time; the enemy could launch a general attack at any moment.

Dragon White was silent for a few seconds, then spoke slowly.

“Since you want to try, then go ahead and try. I approve.”

“Hmm.”

Su Ming nodded and replied.

“Go ahead, I have a lot of things to be busy with here.”

Dragon White said and then lowered his head to continue approving documents.

“Alright!”

Su Ming then turned and left.
