Chapter 263 Encrypted Communications (Added for Alliance Leader Feng Zhiye) (rd update)
"I'm glad you like it. We'll leave first. You guys should get some rest early."

Su Ming smiled and touched her head and said.

"Ok."

Kartini nodded in response obediently.

Su Ming and others turned around and left the room.

Noon on the third day, in the training area.

Everything was back to normal and the entire training ground was bustling with activity.

At this time, Su Ming and others were controlling the mechas and conducting training in an orderly manner.

Mia moved a small stool and sat down. She drank some wine while watching Su Ming and others train. She felt quite relaxed and comfortable.

At this time, Hailan and Kartini came over carrying two boxes of water.

After Mia saw this, she shouted to Su Ming and others.

"Intermission!"

After Su Ming and the others heard this, they all controlled their mechas to return to their positions, then opened the cockpits and jumped out one by one.

Hailan and Kartini opened the water bottles, walked forward with the mineral water, and distributed them to Su Ming and the others.

"Thank you."

Su Ming smiled and took the mineral water handed to him by Kartini.

"Brother Su Ming, you guys are so amazing. You can control such a big thing."

Kartini said with great admiration.

"Fortunately!"

Su Ming replied with a smile.

Rhine and others were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling and said happily.

"This is nothing. We will be able to control more powerful mechas in the future!"

"Really!"

Kartini replied with great curiosity.

"Of course."

Rhine and the others teased Kartini while drinking water.

Su Ming looked at Rhine and the others bragging, and smiled and shook his head.

Red Fang command room.

Xiao Ye walked in and went straight to the command chair.

Lieutenant Anjie stood up and greeted respectfully.

"Captain Xiao Ye, won't you take a rest for a while?"

"No, how long will it take before we can start superluminal flight?"

Xiao Ye asked coldly.

"Five hours and 5 minutes left, everything is normal at the moment."

Lieutenant Anjie glanced at the time and gave the exact time.

"Ah."

Xiao Ye walked to the command chair and sat down.

At this moment, a prompt suddenly popped up on the screen.

"Alert: Encrypted message received."

After seeing it, Lieutenant An Jie immediately started to decrypt it. Soon the message was revealed. She looked at the content and reported to Xiao Ye with a slightly moved expression.

"Sir, we have received an order from the military. They asked us to go to the coordinates 4215, 5121, 7141 of the Sandy Flowing Star Sea immediately to rescue a Level 4 mothership called the Nautilus. They said that there was a problem inside the ship, and there are important people and things inside."

At this time, many people in the command room were shocked when they heard Anjie's words.

"What's going on? Should we go to the rescue?"

"Who in the military issued the order?"

Xiao Ye's eyes moved slightly, his expression didn't change much, he just spoke.

"No matter what, reject the order and keep the ship moving forward."

"Is that okay?"

Lieutenant An Jie looked at Xiao Ye with some concern.

"Do as I say."

Xiao Ye didn't want to go to the rescue. The ship was full of students. He knew with his toes that such a vague rescue order was dangerous. "Understood!"

Lieutenant Anjie immediately edited the message and replied.

However, not long after Lieutenant Anjie sent the message, a prompt popped up on the operating screen.

"Prompt: Received a remote encrypted communication request, do you want to accept it?"

An Jie and others looked at Xiao Ye, waiting for his orders.

Xiao Ye spoke in a deep voice.

"Connected!"

"Yes!"

Anjie and others immediately picked up the call.

Then a man dressed in a major general's uniform, with a stern and resolute face, a straight nose and graying temples appeared on the screen.

When Xiao Ye saw this, he immediately saluted the man in front of him.

"Sir, I am Captain Xiao Ye, the captain of the Red Fang ship under the Imperial Court Academy."

The general also saluted back and then questioned in a cold voice.

"I am General Jessa of the Federation's 12th Night Shadow Corps. Why are you refusing to rescue me?"

"General, the people on board the Red Fang are first-year students from the Imperial Academy. I believe they are not capable of carrying out this rescue mission, so I refuse to carry out this mission."

Xiao Ye replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Xiao Ye answered this sentence from the bottom of his heart. If the person on the boat was a senior student, he would not refuse so bluntly.

When General Jessa heard Xiao Ye's words, his face suddenly became even uglier, and he directly retorted.

"Don't use this excuse to fool me. Even if they are first-year students at Imperial Court Academy, they are not that bad. And there must be a teacher accompanying them. Are you going to watch them die without helping?"

"Sir, I still refuse. You can send other ships for support."

Xiao Ye replied unmoved.

"It's too late. If I had enough time, would I have come to you? You are the closest to the Nautilus right now, and you are the only one who can perform the rescue mission! I tell you the truth, there are very important people and things on the Nautilus, and we can't afford any mistakes!"

Jessa replied grimly.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do to help you."

After hearing this, Xiao Ye refused even more decisively.

Jessa suddenly slammed the operating table and spoke to Xiao Ye angrily.

"Xiao Ye, I'm not discussing this with you. I'm giving you orders as a superior. Are you going to disobey?"

"I'm sorry, sir. I am also following orders from the Imperial Court Academy. I cannot disobey orders, and your authority is not as high as my superiors."

Xiao Ye replied without any fear.

"You, you are disobeying orders. I will report this matter to the military, and you will be held responsible."

"Sorry sir, I still refuse!"

"Good, very good. You guys at Imperial Court Academy are really amazing. You didn't even listen to the military's orders. You watched your companions get killed without helping them. I will make this public on the Internet so that everyone can see what your Imperial Court Academy is like."

Seeing that Xiao Ye was not moved by any persuasion, Jessa threatened him directly.

When Xiao Ye heard what Jessa said, his face darkened. He could disobey orders, and he was not afraid that Jessa would report him to the military.

However, Xiao Ye had to worry about Jessa exposing this matter, which might bring great negative impact to the Royal Court Academy, so he spoke in a deep voice.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll let Lord Fleck come and talk to you."

"it is good!"

Jessa nodded in response.

Xiao Ye turned his head and looked at An Jie and said.

"Go and ask Lord Fleck to come over."

"understand!"

Anjie immediately sent a message to Fleck.

A few minutes later, Vice Principal Fleck hurried into the command room, walked in front of Jessa's image, and asked with a dark face.

"What happened?"

Jessa suppressed the annoyance in her heart and spoke to Vice Principal Fleck.

"Lord Fleck, I need your help now. You must rescue the Nautilus."

Although Fleck and Jessa are not from the same system, unfortunately, Fleck's administrative level is higher than Jessa's.
