Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 287: Banquet (Part )
"Our mining area was occupied by the rebels, but the people of the Abek Kingdom didn't care and left us to fight back on our own."

Mia briefly explained the matter to Su Ming.

"Is it clear that the Abek Kingdom is behind this?"

"Yes, the problem is that they have us in their grasp. Now we have two options: either protect them or fight them ourselves. But do you think we can fight like this?"

"No, we would rather not have those supplies than to shelter them. Sheltering is a serious matter. You should be very clear about the current situation of the Federation, teacher. And the most important point is, if we really shelter the Kingdom of Abaike, they may rely on the Federation's protection to go out and clash with the Imperial Army, and then directly drag the Federation into the water."

"I'm just confused, how come you know so much?"

"Haha, that's ok. I usually like to read books on strategies. But teacher, how are you going to deal with this?"

"Don't ask me such brain-dead things, and this is not the most fatal thing!"

Mia didn't bother to think about it.

"So what's the most fatal thing?"

Su Ming looked at Mia with great curiosity.

"Haven't you noticed that the portions in the cafeteria have been reduced a lot recently?"

Mia asked with a smile.

"It seems to have decreased a lot? What's the problem?"

"Didn't we rescue a lot of survivors that day? They used up a lot of our food reserves in just two meals. Now our supplies are almost out of stock!"

"Can't you resupply?"

"What do you think?"

"."

Su Ming was speechless after hearing what Mia said. It was really like adding insult to injury!
Just then, footsteps were heard, and Mia and Su Ming turned their heads to look over.

Vice Principal Fleck walked over with his hands behind his back and a sullen face.

When Mia saw Vice Principal Fleck, she quickly put the wine in her hand behind her back and asked with a smile.

"Why are you here? I don't have class today, so you don't have to stare at me, right?"

Fleck replied unhappily.

"I'm not in the mood to stare at you. I came to you for something."

"whats the matter?"

Mia looked at Fleck in confusion. This old guy must be looking for her for something bad.

"Do you have any good ideas about the mining area?"

Fleck's head hurt from thinking about it, but he still couldn't find a solution. So he came to ask Mia, after all, Mia had dealt with many such things before.

"What good solution do I have? Either fight or retreat."

Mia replied without even thinking.

"Can't you think of a solution for me?"

Fleck replied angrily.

At this time Su Ming, who was standing aside, said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Principal, the source of this matter lies with the Kingdom of Abaike. If you want to resolve this matter, you need to talk to the king of the Kingdom of Abaike."

"Oh, how can we talk? It's obvious that the other party has us taken advantage of."

"It's not that we can't talk about it."

"Do you have any idea?"

Fleck looked at Su Ming in surprise.

“Pressure.”

"How to put pressure on me? It's not like I haven't considered it, but it's not cost-effective!"

"You must first meet with King Abek."

"That's easy. King Baistan of Abek has invited me to a banquet tonight."

"That's great, it's a rare opportunity."

"The question is how can I put pressure on them so that they won't pay?"

"It's very simple. When you are having dinner with the King of Baistan, he will definitely bring up the mining area to test you. You have to pretend that it doesn't matter and at the same time, tell the king that you have asked for help from the Royal Court Academy. The Royal Court Academy has also dispatched a Level 5 fleet to wipe out this group of rebels! I believe that the other party will most likely lose their composure. After all, they want supplies, not really want to be beaten."

Su Ming analyzed with clear thoughts. "That's fine, but I'm afraid that old fox won't fall for it!"

Fleck thought for a moment and replied.

"That depends on your acting skills, Principal. To put it bluntly, this is a game of psychological warfare and false chips. As long as you don't let him see the flaws, it should be fine."

Su Ming said with a smile.

Mia looked at Su Ming with some surprise. She didn't expect that this brat not only had excellent fighting talent and comprehension, but also seemed to have a good talent for strategy.

"Haha, okay, it's settled! Mia, come with me to the banquet."

Fleck finally made up his mind because he couldn't think of a better solution.

"Me? No, I hate all those crap of yours."

Mia replied with a dark face.

"No, you have to come with me, and there's free wine, don't you want to drink it?"

"If you say so, it's not impossible to go there."

"Su Ming, you can go too."

Fleck decisively called Su Ming along. He felt that Su Ming was a smart man and it would be safer to bring him along.

"Is this appropriate?"

"Why not? Seeing more of the world will only benefit your future growth, not harm it."

"Ok."

Su Ming did not refuse either.

"follow me!"

Fleck then took Su Ming and Mia away.
-
Abek Base City Main Road.

A series of hover patrol cars, with sirens blaring, flew ahead to clear the way.

A low-key black hovercraft followed behind the vehicle that led the way.

At this time, the entire main road was blocked, and a lot of people gathered on both sides of the road. They kept looking at the black hovercraft and talking in low voices.

"Who's in that car?"

"Whose else could it be? Don't you see the flag above? It belongs to the federal government."

"Aren't those cowards from the federal government busy running away?"

"The devil knows!"

"If you ask me, the Lord is too merciful. He didn't bother talking to the Federation and confiscated all their properties."

Inside the black hovercraft, Su Ming looked at the scene outside through the window.

The main base city of the Abek Kingdom is quite prosperous and densely populated, but in terms of infrastructure, it cannot be compared with the Starlight City.

Although there are tall buildings here, the building materials used are the most common, and you can see many homeless people in the dark corners along the way.

"Are you nervous?"

Mia looked at Su Ming who was gazing out the window in a daze and asked mischievously.

"well enough."

Su Ming replied very calmly.

"Tsk, that's boring! You're not very old, but you're as boring as an old man."

Mia replied lamely.

When Su Ming heard Mia's description, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Half an hour later.

The hovercraft arrived at the center of the city, and a magnificent castle came into view. The entire castle was constructed of bluestone and covered with moss, giving people a sense of history.

creak!

The castle's towering gate slowly opened.

The guard of honor at the door saluted one after another, and the black hovercraft drove straight in.

Entering the castle, the green lawn comes into view. The hidden spray device continuously sprays out atomized water vapor to moisten the green plants.
