Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 337: Bleeding (Five in One)

Soon the mobile platform started moving, moving quickly in the steel passage.

At this time, Hegas finally couldn't help it and said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Haha, Su Ming, that Kafu and Aragorn both want to curse, but the problem is that they can't curse out loud, so they can only hold it in."

"I can't do anything about it. No one knows that the Gray Gun will be given to them."

Su Ming smiled and replied.

"If the First and Second Regiments really want to repair that Level 5 battleship, they will probably have to tighten their belts."

Xiu En shook his head helplessly and replied.

"I don't think we can afford to repair it even if we tighten our belts. If Su Ming hadn't destroyed those jets, there might still be hope. But now it's too bad."

Hegarth replied without even thinking.

"hehe!"

Su Ming also smiled silently.

"Haha, but having said that, Su Ming, you have really made a great progress this time, with 3000 military merit points! I remember 2000 points is a lieutenant colonel, and 5000 points is a colonel. Oh my god! You are almost reaching the rank of colonel with your military merit points."

Hegas said with great envy.

"Just luck."

Su Ming replied in a good mood.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En on the side shook his head and said.

"Don't be too happy too soon, it's not that simple."

"Why do you say that?"

Su Ming looked at Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En with some doubt.

"The military merit points given to us by the legion commander are the values ​​she wants us to report. As for how many are approved, it depends on the approval of both the military and the parliament. After all, it's one person per position, and it's impossible for you to be promoted easily."

Xiu En explained to Su Ming.

"Shit, how could I have forgotten this."

When Hegarth heard what Xiuen said, his face suddenly darkened.

Su Ming asked curiously.

"Isn't it difficult to approve?"

"It's very difficult to approve. The military and the parliament each have an audit group, and these two audit groups are extremely strict. Especially those literati in the parliament, they are simply inhumane and are very harsh when detaining people. I hate those guys the most!"

Hegarth became more and more angry as he spoke, and was on the verge of cursing.

"So exaggerated?"

Su Ming asked curiously.

"What Hegas said is not an exaggeration. I have never seen any military merits reported over the years not deducted. It's just a matter of how much is deducted."

Xiu En told Su Ming with certainty.

“So how much will we deduct?”

Su Ming asked with increasing interest.

"I'm not sure about that. How much the deduction is depends on many factors. First of all, the identity of the main applicant. The later the legion is, the weaker its say is. Another factor is your background. If you have a strong background and connections in the parliament and the military, the review will be more relaxed! I remember the most outrageous discount was a military merit reported by the 1000th Legion, where 200 points were cut to points."

Xiu En thought for a moment and said.

"No, is this okay?"

Su Ming heard this and replied with a wry smile.

"However, our legion commander is of a very noble status, and the military merits she reported should not be deducted too much."

Xiu En added after a moment of hesitation.

"It's painful to deduct any points. Such large-scale battles are rare. Normally, it's difficult to get such a large amount of military merit points. Moreover, we risked our lives to earn these points."

Hegarth became more and more annoyed as he spoke.

He could already foresee his military achievements and the scene of being chopped.

"Haha, let's not talk about those spoilers. Let's just look at our own ships."

Su Ming quickly changed the subject.

"it is good."

Xiuen and Hegaz nodded in response.

However, when the mobile platform stopped, Su Ming and the other two were all stunned as they looked at the ship docked in front of them.

I saw a very dilapidated ship in front of me, with a huge hole blown out in the middle of the ship.

Xiuen and Hegas felt as if they were poured with a bucket of cold water, and their hearts turned cold.

"Damn it, this can be dismantled and sold as scrap metal."

Hegarth came back to his senses and couldn't help cursing.

"Who destroyed this ship, and why was it so badly damaged?"

Xiu En said in a trance.

Su Ming's expression suddenly became very embarrassed and he said apologetically.

“I was the one who blew up this ship.”

"You blew it up?"

Xiu En and Hegaz immediately looked at Su Ming with extremely interesting expressions.

"Yes!"

Su Ming swallowed and replied.

"How could you be so cruel! Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"Oh, I didn't expect that this ship would be allocated to us. If I had known, I promise I would never have been so cruel."

Su Ming replied with an awkward smile.

"It's no use saying anything now. I don't know how much it will cost to repair this boat."

Xiuen said with a wry smile.

He didn't expect that he was eating the melon just now, but now he is eating himself.

“Su Ming, you won’t attack all the ships so cruelly, right?”

Hegaz took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and asked.

"Of course, I never show mercy to my enemies. I always destroy them with thunder-like attacks."

Su Ming replied with certainty.

"I remember that the Fengdong ship that was assigned to you seemed to be taken by you as well, right?"

Xiuen asked thoughtfully.

"Yes!"

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"That's great, take us to see it!"

Hegaz then suggested.

"Actually, there's nothing to see. They're all Tier 4 battleships. There's not much difference."

Su Ming was slightly startled and quickly tried to persuade him.

"No, I'm feeling very anxious right now. Just let me take a look and it will calm me down."

Hegas spoke to Su Ming very frankly.

"Go and have a look. If your boat is badly damaged, we'll give you more money and quota."

Xiuen also agreed.

"No, just give me anything."

Su Ming immediately declined.

"No, thanks to you, the legion commander allocated a lot more money and quotas to us, and the big share still has to be given to you."

Xiuen shook his head. He was a principled man.

"that is!"

Hegas replied in agreement.

"Okay, let's go!"

Seeing that Xiu En and Hegas were determined to watch it, Su Ming couldn't refuse.

A moment later, Su Ming and the other two arrived in front of the Fengdong on a small mobile platform.

A special level 30 battleship, 4 kilometers long, covered with cyan metal armor, with a slender and narrow hull and a bloody fang logo painted on it, came into the eyes of the three people.

The entire Fengdong was hardly damaged, just like a new one. The only damaged parts were the bridge and the central control room.

Although this part is not cheap to repair, it is very easy to repair and can be repaired in a short time.

Xiuen and Hegas fell into silence after looking at the Wind.

"Ahem, I've already told you, there's nothing to see."

Su Ming replied awkwardly.

“There’s really nothing to see.”

Lieutenant Colonel Xiuen replied with a complicated expression.

"Damn it, compared to your ship, I feel that the Kaba is just a piece of junk. It's true that comparing people makes you angry, and comparing goods makes you throw them away."

Hegaz couldn't help but complain.

"calm down."

Su Ming replied awkwardly.

Xiu En took a few deep breaths and then spoke to Su Ming and Hegaz.

"Listen to me. Although the damage to Su Ming's ship is not serious, I will distribute all the funds and quotas in this way in accordance with the principle of fairness. Su Ming will take 60%, and Hegas will take 40%. Is there any problem?"

"no problem."

Hegas replied readily.

"That's fine with me. We're all from the same group, so there's no need to separate them so clearly."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"That's settled then."

Xiu En made the decision right away.

At this time, Su Ming smiled and invited Xiu En and the other two.

"I'll take you on a tour and show you the facilities inside the ship."

"No, I'd better not watch it. The more I watch, the more upset I feel."

Hegaz took a deep breath and refused.

"I won't watch it either. I have a lot of things to deal with."

Xiu En declined with an awkward look on his face.

Although he has good self-control and would not be overwhelmed by going up to visit, there is no need to force it.

So the two of them left in a hurry.

"Ah~"

Su Ming shook his head helplessly, feeling embarrassed.

I could only walk towards the entrance of Fengdong No. 1 alone.

When he walked to the boarding entrance of Fengdong, he saw Rhine and others had been waiting here for a long time.

"Monitor!"

Rhine and others immediately surrounded them.

"Well, everyone is here! Let's go up and take a look at our ship."

"Ah? Our ship? Captain, was this Fengdong given to you as a reward?"

"Of course."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Great, we have our own ship now."

When Rhine and others heard Su Ming's words, they all cheered.

"Let's go!"

Su Ming was in a very good mood and boarded the Fengdong with Rhine and others.

They first entered Entrance No. 1. The entire passage was very spacious, and the walls and floor on both sides were very clean and gleaming with metallic luster.

Although the ship's core power unit is in a shut-down state, the backup energy source is on, so the lights are on.

"Wow, this ship is not only new, but the craftsmanship seems to be very good. The welding gaps are almost negligible."

Rhine and others sighed as they touched the metal walls along the way.

"Vikank is from the Dark Star Empire's Third Legion, which is the ace army of the Dark Star Empire. Moreover, he is from an imperial noble family, so the performance of the ships he equips must be very good."

Su Ming analyzed rationally.

"Makes sense."

Rhine and the others replied in agreement.

Not long after, Su Ming and his team arrived at the central control room. The huge control room was in a mess, the console was split in two, and a large hole was destroyed on the top.

"The damage here is quite serious. It will probably cost a lot of money to repair it."

Ankajia said with a pained look.

"We have to repair it no matter how expensive it is. Compared to the ships that others have been assigned, this amount of damage is already minor."

Su Ming looked around the damaged central control room and replied calmly.

"Makes sense."

"Let's go check out other functional areas of the ship."

"it is good!"

Rhine and others replied excitedly.

Soon Su Ming and his friends finished touring the Fengdong residential area, power core and other areas.

The equipment of the Fengdong was even better than they had imagined, especially the living area, which was decorated in a very high-end manner and had all kinds of facilities. Rhine and the others wanted to move on board.

But they still restrained themselves.

Then Su Ming and his companions went to the hangar. The entire hangar was very spacious, with 3000 mecha parking spaces.

At this time, these aircraft positions were empty, but on the most conspicuous position in the middle, there was a damaged fourth-generation mecha, the Blood Falcon.

Su Ming recognized at a glance that this Blood Falcon mecha was the one that belonged to Vikank, and then looked at Rhine in confusion and asked.

"Why is this mecha here?"

"It's like this. When the battle was over, I was afraid that this mecha would be lost, so I had someone throw it onto the ship."

Rhine thought for a moment and explained to Su Ming.

“Didn’t you declare it?”

Su Ming frowned and asked Rhine, saying that hiding the spoils of war was a serious crime.

"Of course they reported it, but no one came to take it away! And when the ship was pulled back, the Legion sent people on board to check it out. They knew the mecha was here."

"this."

"Captain, this is what I think. This mecha is on the ship, and the commander gave you the ship, so everything on the ship should be yours, right?"

Rhine said with a grin.

"Your explanation is a bit forced, but it's not impossible. Forget it, since this mecha has not been taken away, let's keep it. We can talk about it later if there are any problems. Anyway, it has been reported."

Su Ming was no longer hesitant about it. He really needed this mecha now.

"Okay, so what do we do next?"

Rhine replied happily.

"Looking for a senior mechanic to repair the ship and mecha."

"But where can we find it?"

"This is easy. Just apply to the Legion directly."

Su Ming raised the bracelet to bring up the function interface, found the application interface, entered his needs and sent them to the legion.

About ten seconds later, a prompt popped up on the bracelet.

"Dear Commander Su Ming! Your application has been accepted. Akara Mechanic Master will go to the Wind in an hour to discuss with you. If you miss it, you need to make another appointment."

Su Ming finished reading the information and said after thinking for a while.

"Rhine, go move my Killer Mech from the hangar to the ship."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Rhine immediately turned and left.

An hour later.

Su Ming and others were waiting at the boarding entrance of Fengdong.

At this time, three figures came from the distance, led by a bald, long-bearded, energetic old man, followed by a man and a woman.

"Hello, Master Akara, thank you for coming all the way here."

Su Ming hurried forward and extended his hand very politely.

"Captain Su, you are too polite. This is my job responsibility. Is it the ship behind you that you want to repair?"

Akara extended his hand enthusiastically and shook hands with Su Ming.

"Yes."

"Then please show me this ship."

"no problem."

Su Ming then led Master Akara onto the boat.

A few hours later.

In the central control room of the Wind, Master Mechanic Akara used his own microcomputer to connect to the damaged central control console and read some of the ship's data.

Su Ming, Lai Rhine and others stood aside and watched quietly.

After a long time, Akara cut off the connection line and said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Captain Su Ming, you are very lucky. The performance of this Fengdong is very good, and the damage is not serious. It is very easy to repair."

"Great, how much will it cost to repair this ship?"

"No more than 15 billion federal coins will do."

Master Mechanic Akara directly gave Su Ming a price.

When Su Ming heard the price, his eyelids twitched, but he still asked calmly.

"Master Akara, can this price be cheaper?"

"Sir, don't worry! I'm a mechanic from the Thirteenth Legion, and I won't charge you too much. If you find any problems with the price later, you can complain. Of course, I won't bargain."

Akara smiled back.

"Okay, but I have one more thing."

When Su Ming saw Akara say this, he knew that there was no room for negotiation on the price.

"You say."

"Can you repair mechas?"

"Sir, you don't have to doubt my skills. Apart from the Xiguang Laboratory, I am the most skilled mechanic on the mission. Even the fourth-generation aircraft is no problem for me."

Akara assured Su Ming directly.

"Well, please follow me!"

Su Ming took Master Akara away.

A moment later, Su Ming and his companions arrived at the Fengdong hangar.

I saw the Killer Mecha and the Blood Falcon Mecha placed next to each other.

"This third-generation mecha, the Killer, is my mecha, and this fourth-generation mecha, the Blood Falcon, is my trophy."

Su Ming gave a brief introduction.

"Well, do you want to repair this Blood Falcon? It doesn't look like the damage is too serious."

Akara walked up to Blood Falcon and asked.

"I have this plan, but I have another idea."

Su Ming said after a moment of hesitation.

"you say!"

"I'm currently using the third-generation mecha, the Killer. This mecha is very useful, but it's still a little lacking in performance, especially the lack of the NOCY super neural device. So I wondered if I could move the Blood Falcon's super neural device to the Killer mecha."

"Sir, I don't recommend you do this."

Akara directly rejected Su Ming's proposal.

"why?"

"Although your Killer has very good performance, it is a third-generation mecha after all, and its size is limited. There is no place to move the super neural device. Even if you force it to move over, the mecha and other aspects will not be able to match well, and the effect will definitely be greatly reduced."

"Then what do you suggest?"

Su Ming asked modestly.

"I have two suggestions. The first is that you repair the Blood Falcon and use it. The second is that you dismantle the Slayer and use the better parts to modify the Blood Falcon. This way, the performance of the mecha will be better."

Akara gives professional advice.

Su Ming hesitated for a while, but finally spoke.

"Then I choose the second one."

"no problem."

"How much does it cost to renovate like this?"

"I have three renovation plans to choose from. Ordinary renovation costs 10 billion federal coins, medium renovation costs 20 billion federal coins, and luxurious renovation costs 30 billion federal coins!"

Akara looked at Su Ming with a smile.

When Su Ming heard Akara's words, he took a deep breath. The price was really expensive, so he asked tentatively.

"Master Akara, is there any difference between these three transformations?"

"Commander Su Ming, this is a huge difference. Of course, you don't have to doubt my words. You may not have heard of my name, but I can tell you that I am a fifth-year graduate of the Rain City Ammonsk Academy. Although I am not as good as the fifth-year masters of your Imperial Court Academy, I have been in this industry for more than a hundred years. I have modified all kinds of antiques, not to mention your mecha."

"Then I'll choose the luxurious one."

Su Ming then gritted his teeth and replied.

"it is good!"

"Can I ask you something though?"

"go ahead."

"I remember the Legion provides repair services for mechas, right?" "Yes, they do, but they don't provide repair services for mechas. And even if they do, they only cover your Slayer, not the Blood Falcon."

"why?"

"Because your Blood Falcon is not registered, and it was not damaged during the mission."

"So if I register, will it be free for future repairs?"

"It's not free. When you register, the Legion will repair it to the same degree of completeness as you requested!"

"If that's the case, then there's no point."

"Commander Su Ming, the rules of the Federation have been passed down for thousands of years. There won't be any loopholes for you to exploit. Of course, you are not the first one to ask this question."

Akara replied as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, I'll pay for it myself. Master Akara, please take the time to modify the mecha!"

"This is definitely no problem."

"How long will it take for the ships and mechas?"

"The mecha will take seven days, but the ship will probably take more than half a month."

Master Akara gives an approximate time.

"Then please."

Su Ming said politely.
-
City of Stars, Federal Government Administration Building, Dawn Hall 2.

Jakkers, Faron, Alicia and others sat at the conference table.

At this time, District Chief Xiao Lie sighed with a bitter face.

"Oh, the economy has been getting worse and worse recently!"

"That's right. After the incident in Danube Star Sea, the share of foreign trade imports and exports collapsed."

“Yes, and military spending has increased.”

"I am almost out of money here, and the people down below are complaining bitterly."

"Can you lower taxes and allocate some money this year?"

District Chief Lin Aojun and others spoke up one after another.

slap~
After listening to what Xiao Lie and others said, Faluoen slapped the parliament table in anger.

Xiao Lie and the others suddenly quieted down and turned to look at Falong.

"You are the only ones who are sad. Am I not sad? I am the one who suffered the most. My assets have been confiscated, my troops are still confined in the Danube Star Sea, and military expenditures have skyrocketed. Even so, I haven't complained. Why are you complaining?"

Farron replied angrily.

When something happened, no one dared to stand up. Afterwards, everyone was complaining here. It made him angry just thinking about it.

"Lord Faroun, how can we compare with you? A lean camel is bigger than a horse."

Xiao Lie said helplessly.

"Humph, anyway, I have no money, so if I need money, I'll go to these two."

Faron directly put the blame on Jakkers and Alicia.

Jakkers and Alicia looked at each other and showed helpless expressions. They spoke as if they were rich, but they didn't have much money.

However, Xiao Lie and others didn't think so, and they turned their heads to look at the two of them.

Just as Jakkers was about to speak, the tightly closed door suddenly opened, and Yun Rou hurried in and reported to Jakkers and others.

"Emergency military report!"

"Say!"

Jakkers and the others suddenly became nervous.

"The Thirteenth Legion bypassed the Danube Star Sea and launched a surprise attack on the Slok Star Sea, successfully capturing the Hams Planetary Fortress and the Urakan Transit Star."

Yun Rou immediately reported.

"Great, this means the Thirteenth Legion has successfully cut off the Imperial Army's supply lines."

Jakkers said happily.

"Amazing! That's amazing!"

Everyone praised excitedly.

Farrow was also very excited to hear the news and immediately asked.

"Yun Rou, is there any movement from the imperial army in the Danube Star Sea?"

"No, the imperial army in the Danube Sea remains on hold."

Yun Rou shook her head with great regret.

"How could this happen? If they don't move, the trapped troops will have no hope of breaking out."

When Faluoen heard Yunrou's words, his face suddenly darkened.

"Faroen, don't worry. The ones who should be worried are the Imperial Army. Their supply lines have been lost."

Alicia reminded with a smile.

"That's right. Now it's a test of patience. Let's see who loses patience first!"

Jakkers said to Faron in agreement.

"Aren't you afraid that things might change if you delay?"

Farron replied irritably.

"Don't worry. Since she has promised to rescue the trapped troops, there will be no problem. We just need to wait for good news. Don't panic at this time."

Jakkers calmly instructed Farrow.

"All right!"

Farron's expression changed for a moment, and he suppressed his annoyance and replied.
-
Dark Star Empire Bergslen Line.

Falling Planet Fortress.

Inside the magnificent hall, the floor is paved with precious white star stone, which is warm and delicate, and the surrounding walls are carved with strange patterns, which are dazzling.

The towering dome looks like a starry sky with twinkling stars.

At the deepest part of the hall, there is a giant mechanical biological tank, which is filled with blue liquid and seems to have something floating inside.

I saw this giant mechanical biological tank with tubes extending from it.

The tubes extend to a black throne in front.

A burly man, wearing a black robe as dark as the night, with an angular face and sharp eyes flashing a cold light, with tubes stuck in his back and a terrifying aura all over his body, sat on it.

The man was none other than Commander Hodeska, who was in charge of guarding the Bergslund Line.

At this time, a charming beauty with rosy lips and enchanting appearance came up with a glass of deep red blood wine.

This cup of blood wine contains a mixture of blood slaves and the blood of various unknown creatures.

"Lord Hodeska, you should drink some blood wine to neutralize it."

Hodeska picked up the blood wine and drank it all, then spoke arrogantly.

"Circe, have you figured out what happened in the Slok Star Sea?"

"We have figured it out. The Slok Star Sea has indeed fallen."

Circe replied respectfully.

"A bunch of rubbish! So many troops stationed there, yet they were all lost!"

Hodeska cursed unhappily.

At this time, a messenger came in and reported respectfully.

"Master Hodeska, Master Taidila has escaped and now requests to see you."

When Hodska heard the report from his subordinates, a ferocious look appeared on his face and he spoke in a cold voice.

"Let him in!"

Not long after, Tedila walked in in a panic with several subordinates.

Before Tedila could speak, Hodeska, who was sitting on the throne, spoke in a bad tone.

"Tedila, you lost the entire Slok Star Sea and destroyed the empire's supply lines. Do you still have the nerve to come back?"

Tedila raised his head and looked at Hodeska, gritting his teeth and replying.

"Yes, I lost the battle and lost the entire Slok Star Sea. But I didn't live in vain. The moment I was defeated, I activated the self-destruction program of the Hams Planetary Fortress. I wanted to die together with the people of the Federation and be loyal to the Emperor!"

"Hmph, then why are you still alive?"

"That's because the Federation's technology is too advanced. They directly invaded the Hams planetary fortress and interrupted the self-destruction program. If you don't believe me, you can ask my subordinates at will!"

"Well, if that's the case, then I'll look up to you."

After hearing what Tedila said, Hodeska's expression eased a little.

At this time, Tedila said to Hodeska.

"Hodeska, I'll tell you the truth. After the defeat, the Federation released me, but I was too embarrassed to live on. However, I can't die yet. I'm just too angry."

"Oh? What are you angry about?"

"The commander of the Federation is too arrogant. She asked me to take a message to the Emperor."

"What?"

"She said she wanted to break through our defenses, break into the Empire, repeat history, and bring the nightmare to the Emperor!"

"Arrogant!"

When Hodeska heard what Tedila said, he suddenly stood up from the throne and angrily threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

slap~
The entire wine glass broke into pieces.

"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. How can I tolerate her insulting the emperor?"

Tedila took the opportunity to say.

"Okay, very good, you are so arrogant, wait and see how I destroy them."

Hodeska suddenly showed a cruel smile.

"My Lord, this is not good."

Circe asked, somewhat worriedly.

"Why not? Let's not talk about their audacity in defying the Emperor! Even if this didn't happen, how could I tolerate them jumping around in front of me?"

"My lord, you are right!"

"Circe, send scouts to the Slok Star Sea immediately to investigate the enemy's situation."

Hodeska gave the order in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

Circe immediately turned and left.

At this time, Tedila hurriedly said to Hodska.

"Although the ones who attacked me were the newly formed Thirteenth Legion of the Federation, their combat effectiveness is not bad, especially the Star Fortress, which is very difficult to deal with."

"When you were in trouble, didn't Captain Motri and Captain Os come to your rescue?"

Hodeska asked coldly.

"No, if they had come back to help, I wouldn't have lost so badly. The only ones who actually arrived were the Gray Spear Legion and a few small forces from the Empire."

Tedila explained to Hodeska.

"It seems that they don't plan to send troops."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I have my own way. I will activate the ultra-long-distance communication device and connect the neutral countries of Urakan, Kudik, and Fabidon."

Hodeska spoke in a cold voice.

In an instant, six holographic image frames appeared in front of him.

These image frames all display a prompt.

"Connecting"

A few minutes later, six figures emerged from six pitch-black holographic image frames.

These six people are the rulers of the six neutral countries that have defected to the Dark Star Empire.

The moment they saw Hodeska, they rushed to speak like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline.

"Lord Hodeska, you have to make the decision for us!"

"The Slok Star Sea has been occupied by people from the Federation."

"The transit star was lost and all our cargo was robbed."

The six rulers were all extremely anxious. Although the transit planet belonged to the neutral country of Urakan, the six countries all had supplies stored on the transit planet.

Now that the transit star has been destroyed, they have suffered heavy losses.

Of course, after the incident, they went to find Commander Oss first, but Oss didn't care at all and didn't let other commanders take care of it either.

Therefore, they are like headless flies, running around in circles and unable to find anyone to help them.

With great difficulty, Lord Hodeska, the commander of the Bergslund Line, took the initiative to contact them, and of course they quickly complained and asked for help.

Hodeska looked at the six anxious people with a hint of disdain in his eyes, but he still spoke.

"My Fourth Legion, the Tenth Legion, and the Eleventh Legion are responsible for guarding the Bergslen Line. How can we get soldiers to help you? Shouldn't you go to Oss?"

"Alas, we have asked Lord Os, but Lord Os won't help us."

"Sir, could you please help us?"

Many kings said anxiously.

"Are you sure you want me to help you?"

Hodeska asked with a sneer.

"of course."

The six kings said hurriedly.

"Okay, I can spare a force, but the six of you must gather the army and join me in encircling and suppressing the Federation!"

Hodeska suddenly bared his fangs.

He wanted to unite the forces of the six neutral countries, encircle the federal forces, and destroy them in one fell swoop.

"this."

When the six kings heard what Hodeska said, they showed hesitation on their faces.

At this time, Hodeska warned coldly.

"I solemnly warn you, this is your only chance to recapture the transit planet and get back the supplies."

"Okay, it's all up to you, sir!"

When many kings heard this, they gritted their teeth and responded.

"Very good, it's settled!"

Hodeska replied enthusiastically.
-
Star Fortress Training Ground No. 3.

Su Ming walked over from a distance with his hands behind his back. At this time, he saw Rhine and others gathered together and chatting.

"Have you heard? The Ring City Commercial Street officially opened today."

"I heard that many stores seem to be having discounts and promotions!"

"After the training is over, do you want to go for a walk together?"

"Sure. The people from the next four groups will go shopping together this afternoon."

"Afternoon? Don't they have to train?"

"They have the afternoon off."

"No way, I'm so jealous!"

Just when Rhine and others were chatting happily, Su Ming walked over and coughed deliberately.

"Cough cough!"

Rhine and others were also surprised, and shouted quickly when they saw Su Ming coming.

"Line up!"

Everyone lined up very quickly.

Su Ming walked in front of the crowd and glanced at everyone.

"Sir, good!"

Rhine and others shouted in loud voices.

But they were worried in their hearts that they were doomed this time as they were caught red-handed.

Su Ming looked at everyone's nervous expressions and said with a smile.

"Don't be so nervous. You performed very well in this battle. You fought bravely on the battlefield. I am proud of you. As the saying goes, meritorious service should be rewarded!"

"Really!"

When Rhine and others heard Su Ming's words, they all looked at him happily and were very excited.

"Nonsense, I declare that each of the ten captains will be rewarded with 500 million federal coins, the squadron leader will be rewarded with 200 million federal coins, the squad leader will be rewarded with 100 million federal coins, and all soldiers will be rewarded with 50 federal coins! As for military merits, I will apply for them for you, you just have to wait patiently."

Su Ming announced directly.

"Thank you, sir!"

Everyone shouted excitedly.

"And we won't practice today, let's disband for the day off."

Su Ming said to everyone.

"Oh yeah!"

Deng Yu and others cheered happily.

At this time, Rhine and his companions came up to Su Ming and asked happily.

"Squad leader, do you want to have a drink together?"

"Did you plan this a long time ago? Why are you telling me now? Oh, our relationship has faded, it has faded!"

"Oh, didn't I tell you right away?"

"Okay, but you guys go drink first. I'm going to do something, and I'll come find you guys after I'm done!"

Su Ming did not continue to tease Rhine and the others.

He planned to go to the commercial street to buy some fruits and supplements and visit his injured subordinates.

"Okay, let's go first."

Rhine and the others responded with a smile.

Not long after, inside the commercial street.

Su Ming strolled alone on the street. The entire circular commercial street was very lively and almost all shops were open.

The transparent windows of shops along the street are filled with a wide variety of merchandise.

The originally bare steel structure of the ring-shaped commercial street is now decorated with colorful lights and looks very prosperous.

At this time, in an open-air cafe not far away, two young men and women dressed fashionably were sitting on chairs, drinking coffee, talking and laughing, enjoying their leisure time.

"Honey, does this outfit look good on me?"

"Of course it looks good, you are the most beautiful!"

A couple in love walked past Su Ming arm in arm.

Su Ming looked at the backs of the two people and for a moment felt as if he was a little out of place.

But he quickly suppressed this strange emotion and continued walking forward.

At this time, Su Ming saw from afar a large capsule-shaped building in front of him.

This pharmacy has very good business, with a lot of people coming in and out, and most of them are non-commissioned officers.

When he got closer, he was surprised to find that the pharmacy had a sign of Vox Bio Interstellar Group.

Su Ming immediately became interested and walked into the pharmacy.

"Welcome, is there anything I can help you with? I'm Zhou Qin, the store clerk."

A female staff member with fair skin, tall figure, wearing black stockings and good looks came up and asked enthusiastically.

"I'll just take a look."

Su Ming said calmly.

"No problem sir, we have all kinds of medicines here, and the quality is very good."

Zhou Qin said very politely.

"Ok!"

Su Ming walked in with his hands behind his back, scanning the various medicines displayed on the counters along the way.

I have to say that Zhou Qin was not exaggerating, the medicines here are really complete.

Zhou Qin followed behind Su Ming, looking at him curiously.

At this moment, Su Ming suddenly stopped and looked up at the counter in front of him.

In the most conspicuous position in the center of the counter, there was a green potion with the standard name "Type II CSQ-01 Genetic Potions" on it, priced at 1 million federal coins.

Su Ming pondered for a moment, then said to Zhou Qin.

"Can you show me that Type II gene potion?"

"I'm sorry sir, I can't show you this."

“What if I want to buy it?”

When Zhou Qin heard Su Ming's words, she was also slightly surprised, then she smiled and said.

"Sorry sir, we are out of stock of Type II gene potion."

"How come it's out of stock? Isn't that one?"

Su Ming asked with a frown on his face.

"Sir, those are exhibits that are not for sale to the public."

Zhou Qin quickly explained to Su Ming.

"The exhibits can also be sold to the public. At most I can add some money to the price."

Su Ming's eyes moved slightly, and he spoke to Zhou Qin.

"Sorry, no matter how much you add, we won't sell it to you."

Although Zhou Qin spoke very politely, her attitude was very firm.

Su Ming understood what Celis said. Although these genetic drugs have a price, no one will sell them according to the price. Moreover, they don't sell them to individual people, but only to people with connections.

Just then, a big man wearing a second lieutenant's uniform, with an untidy beard and a somewhat haggard look, rushed in and shouted.

"boss!"

Seeing this, Zhou Qin immediately said to Su Ming.

"Sorry sir, I have to go and attend to the guests first."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the lieutenant in front of her.

Su Ming glanced at the big man who came in, and then walked around the drugstore on his own.
