Chapter 531 Weird
by SunflowerLooking at the star map, it can be clearly seen that the Dark Star Empire’s First Legion is fleeing in disarray from both sides.
At this time, Sky Dome City’s fleet opened all launching ports, unleashing missiles at all costs.
Swish! Swish!
Countless missiles landed within the fleeing Dark Star Empire forces.
Boom! Boom!
Numerous damaged ships and soldiers slowed down their escape speed.
Immediately after, Sky Dome City’s soldiers, like mad dogs, drove their Mecha in a desperate pursuit, shooting at them frantically.
Su Ming frowned when he saw this scene; these Sky Dome City soldiers were pursuing too fiercely.
If the Dark Star Empire was luring them into a retreat, they would be ambushed.
Moreover, if they truly engaged the Dark Star Empire’s forces in a fierce battle, the casualties would be even greater.
Thinking of this, Su Ming immediately opened the communication channel and shouted at Sky Dome City’s soldiers.
“Everyone stop the pursuit!”
Unfortunately, no one listened to Su Ming’s words; these Sky Dome City soldiers had already gone berserk.
Seeing this, Su Ming immediately adjusted the communication channel and shouted at Mo Xiu.
“Mo Xiu, quickly tell your men to stop!”
There was no response in the communication for a long time, Su Ming was stunned, and turned his head to look at the Thunder Angel.
He saw the Thunder Angel flickering with lightning all over its body, floating motionless in the universe.
“Mo Xiu!”
“Mo Xiu!”
Su Ming shouted a few times, and seeing no response, immediately realized something was wrong, controlled Ilyinas to fly beside the Thunder Angel, and shouted in the public communication channel.
“Mo Xiu has fainted, medics come quickly!”
“Mo Xiu!”
At this time, Rogue and others heard Su Ming’s words, their expressions changed drastically, and they controlled their Mecha to rush over.
Seeing Rogue and others coming, Su Ming handed Mo Xiu over to them, then shouted at Sigrid.
“General Sigrid, who is commanding the Third Legion? Quickly tell them to stop the pursuit!”
“Okay!”
Sigrid immediately responded.
At this time, the Commander of the Third Legion, Facadis, was leading the pursuit in his V-generation pure Mechanical Mecha, Death Butcher, his eyes bloodshot, roaring.
“Brothers, kill these scum!”
“Yes!”
Many soldiers roared.
At this time, General Sigrid’s voice sounded in the communication channel.
“Facadis, stop chasing, immediately tell everyone to stop!”
“No, we can’t let these Imperial dogs run away!”
Facadis replied angrily.
Seeing that Facadis didn’t listen to his command, Sigrid said with a dark face in the communication channel. “Helaggle, aren’t you going to say something?”
General Hella Geer sighed helplessly when he heard Sigrid call him and said.
“Everyone stop.”
When Facadis heard Helaggle speak, his hands clenched into fists, his bones cracking, his face filled with unwillingness.
At this time, Facadis’s subordinates also asked unwillingly.
“Chief of the Legion Long Bai?”
“Stop, everyone stop, no pursuit allowed!”
Facadis finally gritted his teeth and replied.
Although Sky Dome City’s soldiers were very angry after hearing Facadis’s order, they still stopped one after another.
Su Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them stop the pursuit, and turned his head to look at the surrounding battlefield.
The entire battlefield was truly tragic, with wreckage of ships and Mecha everywhere, and even Blood Prism Fortress was sunk.
Su Ming was also amazed; he truly found it hard to imagine how the Third Legion managed to hold on until they arrived.
At this time, a large area of ripples appeared in the distant starry sky, and Su Ming and others turned their heads to look.
They saw Black Tide Fortress emerge from Subspace, and Commander Qian Lin led her troops over to provide support.
Rogue and others immediately took the Thunder Angel and flew towards Black Tide Fortress.
General Sigrid opened the general communication channel and issued orders to everyone.
“Everyone immediately carry out rescue and aftermath work!”
“Yes!”
Everyone immediately began to clear the battlefield and search and rescue.
At this moment, Su Ming suddenly saw the boarding exit of the Fallen Light open.
ONeill drove a Fourth Generation Mecha, Royal Thunder, leading a group of logistical Iron Guard Mecha out.
Su Ming’s eyelids twitched immediately, and he immediately connected to ONeill and said.
“ONeill, what are you doing?”
“Sir, of course I’m here to help clean up the battlefield.”
ONeill said with a smile.
“Cut it out, don’t cause trouble for me.”
Su Ming replied grumpily.
“No, there’s so much stuff, they can’t clean it all up, we’re helping.”
ONeill replied with a grin.
“No need, you go save people first, don’t touch any of the spoils of war. We don’t take what isn’t ours.”
Su Ming ordered ONeill.
These spoils of war were fought for with the lives of Sky Dome City’s soldiers. If they took advantage of the situation to pick up equipment now, they would be criticized later.
“Yes.”
ONeill replied regretfully.
—
In the central control room of the Legendary-class Star Destroyer Void.
Sakari was sitting sideways on the command chair, resting his hand on his cheek, looking indifferently at Vice-commander Gettory, Commander Nove Carter, Commander Os, Commander Mottley, Commander Ouluo, and others standing in front of him.
The atmosphere on the scene was very oppressive, and everyone’s faces were extremely grim.
“Tell me, how do you plan to explain this to the Emperor?”
Sakari broke the silence, asking with a blank expression.
Gettory’s heart tightened. This time things were messed up, and Agoloto was also dead. The Emperor would definitely blame them. At that time, their heads would definitely be moved; someone had to take responsibility for this matter.
Thinking of this, Gettory couldn’t help but glance at Sakari. In fact, Sakari was largely responsible for them screwing things up; the most direct reason was that he brought the Federal reinforcements. Otherwise, it was only a matter of time before they eliminated the Third Legion and captured Mo Xiu.
However, how could Gettory dare to shift the responsibility onto Sakari? Commander Sakari was the Emperor’s right-hand man, his status no less than that of Prime Minister Logrian, and the Emperor would not blame him at all.
Thinking of this, Gettory’s mind suddenly stirred, and he opened his mouth to accuse.
“Commander Sakari, the reason this mission failed is that Aus bears an unshirkable responsibility. It was because of his foolish command that we failed to eliminate the Third Legion in time.”
When Aus heard Gettory’s words, he immediately understood that Gettory was preparing to use him as a scapegoat. Although they made mistakes in this failure and failed to capture Mo Xiu and the others in time, the biggest reason was Commander Sakari. But this guy didn’t dare to accuse Sakari, so he accused himself, and immediately cursed angrily.
“What the hell are you talking about! Commander Sakari, the biggest reason for this failure is Gettory. This guy kept delaying and didn’t move his troops, which caused us to fail to capture Mo Xiu and the others for so long.”
“You still have the nerve to say that? If I had followed your strategy, we would have been ambushed together at that time, and the death would have been even uglier.”
Gettory retorted directly.
“Enough!”
Sakari listened to the two arguing and coldly reprimanded them.
In fact, he knew very well that Aus and Gettory were indeed responsible for this failure, but their responsibility was not very large. The biggest problem was with himself; he overestimated the capabilities of these fools and didn’t expect that with so many legions surrounding and attacking Mo Xiu and the others, they still couldn’t take them down.
Gettory and Aus glared at each other, then both closed their mouths.
At this time, Sakari looked at Gettory and the others and said.
“I’ll tell you the truth, if this matter is not handled well today, under the Emperor’s wrath, all of you losing your heads will be the least of it.”
“Sir, please save us!”
Gettory and the others’ hearts trembled, and they all pleaded with Sakari.
It wasn’t that they were afraid of death, but offending the Emperor, even death would be a luxury at that time.
“I can save you, but you must do as I say!”
Sakari looked at Gettory and the others and said.
“Sir, just say the word, we will absolutely obey your command!”
Gettory and the others said one after another.
“First, Aus, you immediately send someone to send a message to the Dark Star Empire’s defense line, draw a unit from the defense line, and come over via Curvature Ring. Second, Gettory, you also send a message to your Commander, telling him to send troops for reinforcement.”
Sakari said to the two.
“Yes!”
The two were slightly startled, then responded.
“Those Federal guys can’t guard the battlefield forever, nor can they take away so many spoils of war. When the troops are mobilized, we will immediately launch a counterattack and recover all the wreckage on the battlefield! Also, immediately issue an order to send out all personnel to capture the Federal mining points, and mine continuously at all mining points 24 hours a day!”
Sakari then instructed.
“Okay!”
Aus and the others quickly responded.
“Also, now it’s time for you to bleed. Contribute the wealth you’ve embezzled over the years. Especially Gettory and your First Legion, you’ve been mining here for so long, you all have considerable wealth, right?”
Sakari looked coldly at Gettory and the others.
“Sir, how could we?”
Gettory and the others were dumbfounded.
“I’m not in the mood to argue with you now. Do you want money or your lives? Weigh it yourselves! I’ll tell you the truth, under normal circumstances, if this mission fails, under the Emperor’s wrath, not only will your heads roll, but all your relatives will be demoted to the lowest slaves!”
Sakari warned grimly.
“Sir, but if we hand it over, will we really be okay?”
Gettory and the others asked through clenched teeth.
“I will report to the Emperor that you successfully heavily damaged the Third Legion, but when you were about to annihilate them, the Federal First Legion came to reinforce and forcibly rescued them, but you seized a large amount of spoils of war and supplies! As long as you gather the supplies, the Emperor will not blame you too much.”
Sakari knew very well that the Emperor’s purpose in intercepting Sky Dome City and Rainy City this time was for supplies.
Therefore, as long as the amount of supplies offered was barely acceptable, the Emperor would not be too angry.
“Okay”
Hearing this, Gettory and the others could only bear the pain of cutting off their flesh.
“Also, remember to tell the people below to unify their statements. If anyone doesn’t know better, you know what to do, right?”
Sakari looked at Gettory and the others with murderous intent.
“Yes!”
Gettory and the others immediately promised.
More than ten hours later.
5th Level Battleship · Meteor Light · Observation Deck.
Su Ming held Little Grey and looked at the soldiers who were searching and cleaning up, lost in thought.
At this time, Sigrid’s virtual image appeared beside him, asking with a smile.
“What are you doing?”
“Nothing, has Mo Xiu woken up?”
Su Ming shook his head and asked.
“No, he hasn’t woken up yet, but the medic said he just overexerted his mental energy, and after resuscitation, he is out of danger.”
Sigrid explained to Su Ming.
“He is truly strong enough to pilot a VI generation mecha for such a long time.”
“Indeed, but still slightly inferior to you. You know, Commander Sakari found you a headache to deal with.”
“Cough, cough, don’t say that.”
Su Ming replied somewhat awkwardly.
“Let’s not talk about that, I’ll add you to the joint meeting.”
Sigrid said to Su Ming with a smile.
“Okay!”
Su Ming nodded.
Swish!
A virtual projection screen immediately appeared in front of Su Ming, showing the images of Qian Lin, Hessia, and other high-ranking generals.
“Everyone is here, let’s have a quick meeting now.”
Sigrid said to everyone.
“Okay!”
Qian Lin and the others responded one after another.
“How is the progress of the battlefield search and rescue and the cleanup of spoils of war now?”
Sigrid asked.
“It will take a little more time.”
Qian Lin replied to Sigrid.
“How long will it take? Although we repelled the Dark Star Empire, it’s not guaranteed that their reinforcements won’t arrive and they’ll make a comeback, which would be very troublesome.”
Su Ming reminded Qian Lin and the others.
“Su Ming is right, if you really can’t take the large spoils of war, abandon them.”
Sigrid said to Qian Lin and the others.
“Understood, we’ve abandoned the large spoils of war. Now the main focus is on rescue. Many ships from Sky Dome City were sunk, and there are still survivors inside those sunken ships, which makes search and rescue difficult. But give us another three hours, and we will definitely be able to complete it.”
Qian Lin calculated the time and said.
“Then we will withdraw in three hours!”
Su Ming nodded slightly and said.
“Then it’s settled.”
Sigrid and the others then cut off the communication.
Su Ming looked at the virtual avatars on the virtual screen dimming one by one, and suddenly realized something: Lieutenant General Arms was not participating in the meeting.
His expression changed, and then he checked the identity information of the generals attending the meeting, and quickly found General Sman Ken of the First Legion.
The Cosmic Military Headquarters had dispatched him to lead the reinforcement of Mist Star Sea.
Su Ming immediately sent him a communication request.
Soon, the image of an old man wearing a general’s uniform, with a head full of white hair, black spots on his face, and deeply sunken eyes, appeared in front of Su Ming.
“General Su Ming, do you need something?”
Sman Ken looked at Su Ming suspiciously and asked.
“General Sman Ken, may I ask you something?”
Su Ming asked politely.
“Of course you can, feel free to ask whatever you want.”
Sman Ken replied with a smile.
“I remember that Lieutenant General Arms also participated in the reinforcement of Mist Star Sea, why haven’t I seen him?”
Su Ming asked curiously.
General Sman Ken’s smile faded when he heard Su Ming’s question, and he said to Su Ming in a deep voice.
“General Su Ming, Lieutenant General Arms and his men are missing.”
“Missing?”
Su Ming was full of surprise when he heard Sman Ken and the others’ words.
If they had died in battle or something, Su Ming wouldn’t have been very surprised, but they were actually missing.
“It’s like this, General Su Ming, you should know that Mist Star Sea has been fighting fiercely with the Dark Star Empire in recent years, and has always been at a disadvantage, which is why the Cosmic Military Headquarters dispatched us to reinforce. But the situation didn’t improve after we arrived, and many battles broke out around the various mining points. And just two months ago, our ships were besieged by the Imperial Army. During the breakout, General Arms’s ship, in order to cover the retreat of the main force, deviated from the course and entered the depths of Mist Star Sea, thus going missing.”
General Sman Ken said with a sigh.
“Alas, General Sman Ken, can you tell me the coordinates of where they went missing and in which direction they broke out?”
Su Ming’s mood was also somewhat complicated when he heard General Sman Ken’s words. If Arms and his men were missing, then Lin Chuyu, who was with him, was naturally also missing. No wonder he hadn’t seen her during this reinforcement battle.
“No problem.”
General Sman Ken raised his wristband, retrieved the data, and sent it to Su Ming.
“Thank you.”
Su Ming thanked General Sman Ken.
“You’re welcome, I’ll hang up now.”
After saying that, General Sman Ken cut off the communication.
Su Ming sighed slightly, looked out at the distant starry sky, his expression a little melancholic.
“Boss, what’s wrong?”
At this time, Ankajia walked into the central control room, and seeing Su Ming standing melancholically on the observation deck, she walked beside Rhine and asked in a low voice.
“Lieutenant General Arms is missing.”
“Ah? It can’t be helped that he’s missing, but Boss shouldn’t be reacting so strongly, right?”
Ankajia scratched her head and said.
“Are you stupid? Lin Chuyu is under Arms.”
“Oh my god!”
“Shh! Keep your voice down.”
Rhine grumbled grumpily.
Ankajia quickly closed her mouth.
Time passed little by little.
Little Grey yawned lazily in Su Ming’s arms.
Su Ming stroked Little Grey’s head, and suddenly, with a thought, asked.
“Little Grey, do these mists affect you?”
“Squeak~”
Little Grey raised its head, glanced at the distant mist, shook its head, and squeaked.
In its eyes, the white mist only slightly obstructed its vision and didn’t have much of an impact on it.
Su Ming’s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.
“Little Grey, if I ask you to lead the way into the Mist Star Sea to find Lin Chuyu. Can you find her?”
Su Ming asked again for confirmation.
“Squeak!”
Little Grey kept nodding.
Hearing this, Su Ming held Little Grey and walked down from the observation deck.
Seeing this, Rhine and the others all asked with a smile.
“Boss, are we going back?”
“No, I plan to go deep into the Mist Star Sea to search for the missing Rear Admiral Aames and Lin Chuyu.”
Su Ming said to Rhine and the others.
“Ah? Su Ming, don’t joke around, that’s the Mist Star Sea!”
Celes said in surprise.
“I know, but you don’t have to worry. Little Grey is here, and it will guide us.”
Su Ming said to everyone.
“Squeak squeak!”
Little Grey confidently patted its chest and squeaked at everyone.
“Alright!”
Celes replied helplessly.
Su Ming looked at Rhine and the others and asked.
“Rhine, are you scared? If anyone doesn’t want to go, they can take another ship and return to the Federal first.”
“Scared of what? Boss, wherever you tell us to go, we’ll go.”
Rhine and the others had great confidence in Su Ming.
“Good!”
Su Ming responded with a smile.
Just then, a series of prompts popped up on the operation screen.
Li Menghan reported to Su Ming.
“Sir Su Ming, we received a joint communication request from Black Tide Fortress!”
“Connect it!”
Su Ming walked over and sat down in the command chair and said.
“Yes, Sir!”
Li Menghan immediately carried out the operation.
Soon, the images of Qian Lin, Sigrid, and others appeared.
“Everyone, the battlefield search and rescue and aftermath work are completed. We can return now.”
Qian Lin said to everyone.
“Then without further delay, let’s leave quickly!”
Sigrid immediately said.
“Wait!”
Just then, Su Ming suddenly spoke.
Qian Lin and the others all looked at Su Ming and asked in confusion.
“General Su Ming, is there a problem?”
“I have something to do and need to go to the Mist Star Sea. You guys go first!”
Su Ming said to Qian Lin and the others.
Qian Lin and the others were also shocked when they heard Su Ming’s words, and immediately stood up from the command chair to dissuade him.
“Sir Su Ming, no!”
“Absolutely do not enter the Mist Star Sea! It’s too dangerous.”
“Su Ming, stop messing around. What are you going to do in the Mist Star Sea?”
Sigrid also asked very nervously.
“Search for the missing Rear Admiral Aames.”
Su Ming said calmly to everyone.
“Sir Su Ming, we know you are very strong, but listen to us, the Mist Star Sea is different from other forbidden zones, it is extremely dangerous! Legend has it that these white mists are exhaled by a very terrifying monster, and these mists are like living things, ever-changing! Once you enter the Mist Star Sea, equipment will be limited. Over the years, whether it is the Federal, Dark Star, Saint Joe, Apocalypse, or private treasure hunting ships, as long as they go deep, none have come out, they are all lost inside! Even a strong race like the Mechanical Clan couldn’t get out of the Mist Star Sea. We don’t dare to go deep when mining here, we rely on setting up mist lights to clear the way and go in little by little!”
Qian Lin explained to Su Ming.
“Thank you for your reminder, but I have my own way. Don’t try to persuade me, my mind is made up!”
Su Ming said, letting out a slight breath after hearing this.
Qian Lin and the others fell silent upon hearing this.
Sigrid sighed and said.
“Since you’ve said so, we won’t persuade you anymore. Is there anything you need our help with?”
“I need some mist lights.”
Su Ming said with a smile.
“Okay, I’ll have someone send them over to you right away.”
Qian Lin then said.
“Thank you, everyone. See you in the Federal!”
Su Ming finished speaking and hung up the communication.
At this moment, Rhine and the others all looked at Su Ming, waiting for him to give instructions.
“ONeill!”
Su Ming called out.
“Here, Sir!”
ONeill replied with a grin.
“Are the supplies on our ship still sufficient?”
Su Ming then asked.
“Sir, don’t worry about supplies. The Fallen Light’s reserves are particularly abundant. We could sail for over a decade without any problem.”
ONeill assured Su Ming.
“Alright, we’ll depart after receiving the mist lights.”
Su Ming made the decision directly.
“Yes, Sir!”
Rhine and the others immediately responded.
Soon after, Rhine and the others received a large batch of mist lights. They hung a portion of the mist lights on the hull of the Fallen Light and kept some for backup.
Inside the central control room of the Fallen Light.
Li Menghan reported to Su Ming, who was sitting in the command chair.
“Sir Su Ming, all preparations are complete!”
“Hmm.”
Su Ming nodded slightly.
At this moment, on the display screen, Qian Lin and the others looked at Su Ming with serious expressions and asked.
“General Su Ming, are you sure you really want to go to the Mist Star Sea?”
“Yes!”
“Then we wish you a safe journey!”
“Okay, I also wish you a successful return. Goodbye!”
Su Ming said to Qian Lin and the others.
Qian Lin and the others saluted Su Ming, then cut off the communication.
At this moment, Li Menghan and the others all looked at Su Ming, waiting for his instructions.
Su Ming gave the order with a serious expression.
“Destination Mist Star Sea, depart!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Everyone responded in unison.
In the starry sky.
The Fallen Light turned around alone, parting ways with the large fleet, and sailed into the Mist Star Sea.
Soon the ship was engulfed in the white mist.
At this point, the ship’s scanning radar was immediately limited, and the range it could detect was reduced to an extreme. The images displayed by the optical imaging device could only show a small area illuminated by the mist lights, and many pieces of equipment were also experiencing interference.
Red alert boxes popped up one after another.
“Warning: Scanning device limited!”
“Warning: Astrolabe positioning device limited!”
Li Menghan looked at Su Ming, somewhat at a loss, and asked.
“Sir, how do we navigate now?”
“Yeah, this situation is even worse than the Dark Forest.”
Rhine and the others asked, scratching their heads.
“Don’t worry, Little Grey is here. Open the front screen!”
Su Ming said to everyone.
“Yes, Sir!”
Li Menghan immediately carried out the operation. Soon the front screen opened, and the vast expanse of white starry sky immediately came into view.
Little Grey then stretched out its little paw, pointed towards the 3 o’clock direction, and squeaked.
“Squeak squeak!”
Li Menghan and the others immediately adjusted the ship’s bow and course according to Little Grey’s prompt.
The Fallen Light continued to advance, going deeper and deeper into the Mist Star Sea.
Ten hours later.
Su Ming sat in the command chair, reviewing data on the Mist Star Sea.
Suddenly, the entire ship jolted slightly.
A red alert box popped up.
“Warning: K9 armor layer under attack!”
Upon seeing this, Li Menghan immediately reported to Su Ming.
“Sir Su Ming, we are under unknown attack.”
“Activate the Energy Barrier.”
Su Ming looked up and said.
“Yes, Sir!”
Li Menghan immediately carried out the operation.
“Maximize scanning device power and track the target.”
Su Ming then gave the order.
“No, we can’t scan the target, and the optical device can’t track it either.”
Li Menghan tried, but couldn’t find the attacker at all. The optical image displayed only patches of white mist.
At this moment, prompts kept popping up.
“Prompt: Energy Barrier under attack, intensity decreased by 0.1%!”
Su Ming was also puzzled upon hearing this, wondering what kind of thing was attacking them.
Just then, Little Grey started squeaking, pointing a direction with its little paw.
Upon seeing this, Li Menghan immediately understood and issued the attack order.
“Load launch ports 1-2000, mobilize L1 District interceptor cannons, fire scatter shot!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The Operator immediately responded.
Swish swish!
The Fallen Light fired towards the direction Little Grey pointed, launching dense beams of light and missiles.
Boom boom boom~
Explosions lit up in the white mist one after another.
“Hit!”
Li Menghan said happily.
“Can you see what kind of monster attacked us?”
Su Ming then asked.
“No, the optical device can’t track it.”
Li Menghan shook her head.
Su Ming turned to Ankajia and said.
“Ankajia, you guys go and retrieve the body.”
“Okay!”
Ankajia and the others turned and walked towards the mobile platform.
Soon after, the exit of the Fallen Light opened.
Ankajia and the others flew out in their mechas, carrying mist lights, and headed towards the white mist.
Su Ming waited patiently.
After more than ten minutes, they saw Ankajia and the others dragging a body and starting to return.
Su Ming then got up and walked towards the hangar.
Soon, Ankajia and the others returned to the Fallen Light, dragging in a deformed monster that was forty meters long, had pale white skin all over, resembled a pterosaur, and had sharp teeth and claws. The monster was dragged inside.
Su Ming took Rhine and the others forward to observe carefully. The blood flowing from this monster’s body was milky white, which looked somewhat eerie.
“Celes, do you recognize this monster?”
“I don’t recognize it. It should be some kind of mutated alien species. However, the monsters active in the Mist Star Sea are generally collectively referred to as Mist Beasts.”
Celes said to Su Ming.
“Hmm.”
Su Ming nodded slightly in response.
“Boss, what should we do next? These guys are too well hidden.”
Rhine asked with some concern.
“It’s alright, we just need to be careful.”
Su Ming replied in a deep voice.
“Okay!”
Rhine and the others nodded.
Three days later.
Inside the central control room of the Fallen Light.
Red alert boxes popped up one after another.
“Warning: Energy Barrier under attack!”
Li Menghan frowned as she looked at the vast white image on the operation screen. Although the ship was under attack, she couldn’t do anything and could only look at Little Grey.
“Squeak squeak!”
Just then, Little Grey pointed in a direction and squeaked.
Li Menghan immediately gave the order.
“Turn external C-zone interceptor cannons, load cluster bombs, area attack!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The Operator immediately carried out the operation.
Swish swish!
Beams of light and cluster bombs shot out, disappearing into the white mist.
Soon everything returned to calm.
“Cancel alert.”
Li Menghan then said.
Many Operators breathed a sigh of relief. Since entering the Mist Star Sea, they had been attacked from time to time.
Although these attacks were not strong, not being able to see the enemy was very frustrating.
After directing, Little Grey yawned lazily and lay back in Su Ming’s arms.
At this moment, Rhine smiled and said to Little Grey.
“Little Grey, we’ve been in the Mist Star Sea for three days, why haven’t we found them yet?”
“Yeah, don’t trick us!”
Ankajia and the others also joked with a laugh.
Little Grey was a bit anxious when it heard Rhine and the others, patting its chest with its little paw and squeaking non-stop.
“Squeak squeak!”
“Can you guys stop teasing it? Although Little Grey is usually a bit silly, I have to say its talent is awesome, it’s truly a gift from God.”
Celes said enviously.
Little Grey was also very happy to hear Celes praise it.
Rhine and the others said with a smile.
“We were just joking with it. But speaking of which, if Little Grey can really guide us in the Mist Star Sea, won’t we get rich if we come here to mine in the future?”
“Smart! Among the Three Great Forbidden Zones, the Mist Star Sea has been mined the least, and there must be a large amount of rare resources inside.”
Celes agreed.
“That’s great!”
Rhine and the others immediately beamed with joy and said.
“Don’t be happy too soon. Have you forgotten the Federal’s current situation? We are about to retreat back to the Old Galaxy. Do you think there will still be a chance and time to mine here?”
Su Ming poured a basin of cold water directly over Rhine and the others, chilling them to the bone.
Hearing this, the smiles on Rhine and the others’ faces immediately froze, and then they said awkwardly.
“Boss is right, but there will always be a chance in the future.”
“Let’s talk about the future in the future.”
Su Ming said calmly.
“Hmm.”
Rhine and the others all responded.
At this moment, in the vast white universe, the Level 5 Battleship- Fallen Light, with mist lights hanging, sailed forward like a lonely boat.
Just then, a pair of scarlet eyes lit up from the white mist, staring intently at the departing Fallen Light.
Two days later.
Su Ming sat in the command chair, holding Little Grey.
Rhine and the others’ expressions became increasingly serious. They had been in the Mist Star Sea for five days. And they had only slightly adjusted direction a few times in between, which meant they were generally sailing in one direction.
Therefore, they had already gone very deep into the Mist Star Sea, but still hadn’t found Lin Chuyu and the others.
For a moment, their hearts were also a little tense.
“Sir, have some coffee to refresh yourself. We don’t know how long we’ll have to keep searching.”
ONeill walked over with a cup of hot coffee and said fawningly.
“Okay.”
Su Ming took the coffee and took a sip.
Just then, Little Grey suddenly flew up excitedly, squeaking non-stop towards one direction, as if it had discovered something.
Su Ming was also startled and immediately said to Li Menghan.
“Quick, adjust direction!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Li Menghan immediately carried out the operation.
Rhine and the others also felt their hearts race, looking at the image displayed by the optical device.
The Fallen Light continued to advance, the light from the mist lights hanging on the bow piercing through the white mist ahead. Although it looked very blurry, there was still a little bit of visibility.
Just then, Celes shouted in surprise.
“Wow, wow, I think I see a ship!”
Hearing Celes’s words, Su Ming and the others looked closely, and there seemed to be faint ship silhouettes in the white mist ahead.
“Slow down!”
Su Ming gave the order to Li Menghan.
“Yes, Sir!”
Li Menghan quickly carried out the operation.
The Fallen Light’s speed gradually decreased, sailing forward little by little. Soon, they saw the outlines of two battleships in the mist. However, these two ships were floating motionless in the starry sky, which was very strange.
“It’s the Level 5 Battleship- Light Shuttle and the Scarlet Fangs Legion’ Level 5 Battleship- Blood Ghost!”
Celes instantly matched the data.
“Send a communication request to the Light Shuttle.”
Su Ming immediately gave the order.
Li Menghan and the others immediately sent a communication request to the Light Shuttle, but there was no response.
They tried various methods to contact the Light Shuttle, but all failed.
“Sir Su Ming, we can’t contact the Light Shuttle, there is no response from the other side.”
Li Menghan reported to Su Ming.
Hearing this, Su Ming placed his hands on the armrests and stood up, saying to Rhine and the others.
“Rhine, you guys come with me!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Rhine and the others followed Su Ming and walked towards the mobile platform.
Soon after, the boarding exit of the Fallen Light opened.
Su Ming piloted Ilyinas, taking Rhine and the others, and flew out. They carried mist lights and flew towards the Light Shuttle and the Blood Ghost.
As the distance shortened, the two ships, the Light Shuttle and the Blood Ghost, clearly came into view.
The two ships floated silently in the starry sky, without a trace of light, and there were damaged gaps all over their massive hulls.
“Oh my god! Could they have perished together?”
Rhine and the others said in shock.
Seeing this scene, Su Ming felt even more uneasy.
Just then, Celes said to Su Ming with some hesitation.
“Su Ming, don’t you feel like something is off?”
“What’s wrong?”
Su Ming asked in a deep voice.
“Isn’t the surrounding starry sky a bit too clean? We don’t even see a single mecha wreckage.”
Celes said with a shiver.
Hearing Celes’s words, Su Ming turned his head and scanned the surroundings. There was no mecha wreckage anywhere, so he gave an order to Rhine.
“Rhine, you guys go and set up mist lights to illuminate the entire area!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Rhine and the others immediately got to work. They activated the mist lights they carried one by one and then deployed them to designated locations.
Soon, the entire area of the starry sky was illuminated.
Su Ming took a deep breath and said to everyone.
“Zhang Yi, you lead a team to watch outside, the others will enter the ships with me to search!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Zhang Yi replied seriously.
