Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 347 Dark Forest (Five in One)

The next morning.

Inside the Tsar's central control room.

Major General Vickers sat in the command chair, holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand and taking a sip.

Colonel Zhou Quan walked up to Vickers and spoke.

"General, do you want to take a break? I'll be watching over here."

"No, we are now in the Dark Star Empire. Something could go wrong at any time. It would be safer for me to keep an eye on it myself."

Major General Vickers rejected Colonel Zhou Quan's kindness.

"it is good."

After hearing what Vickers said, Colonel Zhou Quan stopped trying to persuade him.

At this time, Lieutenant Zhou Yuelin looked at the prompt message that popped up on the scanning device and immediately reported to Major General Vickers.

"General, we have detected three search ships, located at 3 o'clock, 7 o'clock, and 11 o'clock!"

"Be careful to avoid them. The eagle claws in the empire have extremely sensitive noses."

Vickers gave the order in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Zhou Yuelin nodded in response.

In the starry sky, the disguised Tsar constantly fine-tuned its sailing direction to avoid these searching minions.

Because the hull was covered with a mechanical octopus camouflage, the Tsar could not travel very fast.

Therefore, each time you evade, it takes a little time.

Zhou Yuelin and other operators were all on edge. Although they knew that the other ship would not be able to scan them normally, they were still afraid that something might go wrong.

But fortunately, I managed to get rid of it safely in the end.

But before Zhou Yuelin and others could breathe a sigh of relief, a red prompt suddenly popped up on the operating screen.

"Warning: The Dark Star Empire is ahead, Lekga Space Monitoring Checkpoint."

Zhou Yuelin quickly activated the optical device for observation.

In the starry sky ahead, there were scattered black gem-shaped mechanical monitoring devices, which flashed red lights from time to time.

In the center of the level, there is a small monitoring fortress.

Zhou Yuelin quickly reported to Vickers.

"General, the Lekga space monitoring checkpoint is ahead. It uses conventional YCS-01 monitoring equipment and is within the shielded range."

"I understand. Be careful when you pass through here, and don't let yourself be exposed!"

Vickers instructed Zhou Yuelin.

"understand!"

Zhou Yuelin responded solemnly.

Inside the control room of the Lekga space monitoring fortress.

A man wearing the uniform of a second lieutenant of the Dark Star Empire, with acne scars all over his face and a big nose, sighed as he looked at the surveillance screen.

"I'm almost depressed staying in this godforsaken place. I don't know when I'll have the chance to make achievements and get promoted!"

"Achieve merit? With our broken checkpoint, if we really find anything, they will destroy us with one shot, and we will be dead! Deda, stop dreaming, come over and have a couple of drinks and some meat, that's the most practical thing."

A middle-aged man with graying hair and a bad nose set up a simple table with three plates of meat and a bottle of industrial liquor on it.

"Here I come, Chen Qi."

Deda came over and sat down and said.

Chen Qi quickly poured Deda a glass of wine and said.

"I tell you, there's nothing wrong with staying here. Although it's a little lonely, at least it's safe. You don't have to be sent to the front line to fight and live in fear all day long! It's pretty good to be able to live a stable life these days."

Deda took the wine glass, looked at the starry sky outside the window, drank it in one gulp, and then said with deep emotion.

"Oh, of course I know. Isn't this a bit unwilling? My best years are wasted here. You know, I have been guarding this broken checkpoint for more than 30 years. I am almost going insane!"

"It's only been over thirty years, and I've been watching it for over fifty years."

Chen Qi replied with a smile.

"Ah, when will this day end, eh?"

Deda looked at the starry sky outside the window and suddenly spoke in confusion.

"what happened?"

Chen Qi asked doubtfully.

"Something is wrong. Why are there fewer stars outside the window? I can clearly see seven."

Deda frowned and said in confusion.

"Let me see!"

Chen Qi came over to take a look and spoke.

"There are seven of them, no problem. Are you dazzled?"

"How could I be dazzled? I've been sitting here for years. Could it be that I'm suffering from neurasthenia? No, I need to see a doctor."

Deda said with some concern.

"What are you looking for? Just drink a couple more glasses and get some sleep, and you'll be fine the next day! It doesn't cost money to see a doctor. With your salary, don't you need to support your family?"

"That makes sense. Drink two more cups and get some sleep."

Inside the Tsar's central control room.

Zhou Yuelin let out a long sigh and reported to General Vickers.

"General, we passed the checkpoint successfully. The enemy didn't find us."

"Well, keep going!"

Vickers said in a deep voice.

At this time, in the distant starry sky, a 5-kilometer-long, swordfish-shaped level 3 battleship was sailing quickly.

In the central control room.

A nonchalant-looking man with a somewhat ruffian-like handsomeness sat on a chair with his feet on the operating table, boasting in a very good mood.

"As long as we find the traces of the federal troops, our day of rapid development will come. By then, I will not only be promoted three levels directly, but also receive various rewards from the empire, and there will be plenty of beautiful women."

"Matko, stop daydreaming. The most likely target for the Federation is the main star of the 30-36 star lords, which is close to the defense line. Everyone is basically searching over there. No one would come here to search like us. This side is right next to the border! Could it be that the Federation troops are leaving right after they come in?"

A woman with flaxen hair, wheat-colored skin and a nice figure complained unhappily.

"Qi Qiu, you don't understand this, right? This is called reverse thinking, don't you understand? Everyone knows that the Federation guys are most likely to start in that area. Don't the Federation know that everyone will concentrate their search there? Besides, even if we follow the main force to search there, if we really find the Federation troops, at most we can only get a little bit of credit. It's useless! We might as well try our luck in this godforsaken place."

Matko said disdainfully.

"Okay, what you said makes sense. The fuel cost of the ship this time is probably going to be wasted again. You can just go back and wait to eat dirt."

Qi Qiu was too lazy to argue with Matt Ko. This guy always acted on his own accord.

At this moment, a fat young man in charge of operating the ship made a puzzled sound.

"Strange!"

"What's wrong, Ant?"

Matko immediately sat up and looked at his companion and asked.

"Boss, I was conducting optical observations when confirming the route just now, and I found something wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that the starry sky seems to be blocked by something."

"Which starry sky?"

"This starry sky has now returned to normal."

Ant said, pointing to the dark starry sky.

Matko's expression changed for a moment, and then he spoke.

"Qi Qiu, the rest of you come with me to investigate!"

"it is good."

Qi Qiu and the others looked serious and responded immediately.

Fengdong Residential Area.

Su Ming opened the door and walked out, running into Rhine and others.

"Squad leader, you're up."

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded slightly.

"What are we doing today?"

Rhine and others immediately asked.

"The interior of the Tsar has too many people and there is not enough space for training, so we won't train!"

Su Ming thought for a moment and said.

"Can we have a holiday now?"

Rhine and others' eyes suddenly lit up.

"You can move freely, but don't be too relaxed. Be prepared for unexpected situations."

Su Ming instructed Lai Rhine and others.

"okay!"

Rhine nodded.

Su Ming then left the Feng Dong and headed for the temporary office of the officers on the Tsar.

Although there is nothing to do now, these officers still have to be on duty.

It didn't take long for Su Ming to arrive at the office. He pushed open the door and walked in.

I saw Kaf, Xiuen, Colifa and others were all there, and they were all gathered together chatting.

At this time, Korifah and others saw Su Ming coming in and hurriedly called him over.

"Su Ming, you're here, come and sit down and chat with me!"

"What are you guys talking about so enthusiastically?"

Su Ming walked over and asked with a smile.

"We were talking about returning home."

"What's there to talk about on the return flight?"

"Of course there is nothing much to talk about when returning home. The key point is the declaration of military merit after returning home!"

Coreyfa explained to Su Ming.

"Is there any problem with the military merit report?"

Su Ming looked at Korifah and the others curiously.

"Brother Su Ming, the two review departments of the military and the parliament are not human. They will definitely chop off the military merit points we applied for. We can't just sit there and wait for death! These merit points are all earned by our lives, and this opportunity to earn military merit is rare."

Major Chen Ying explained to Su Ming.

"I know about this, but there's nothing I can do about it."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"That's why we gathered together to discuss it, to see who has connections and to smooth things over, so that they don't cut too hard."

Ye Hai explained the reason to Su Ming.

"Oh I got it."

When Su Ming heard this, he suddenly understood.

"Listen to me, we are all from the same legion, and we have shared life and death on the battlefield. Is it okay to call us brothers?"

Korifah asked everyone.

"no problem!"

Xiuen and Hegaz nodded in response.

"So if anyone has connections, please work together. We must defend our merit points to the death!"

Korifah said to everyone excitedly.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Everyone said in agreement.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Aragon looked at Kaf and asked curiously.

"Kaf, what family are you from?"

Kaf said in a deep voice.

"I am from the Domodic family."

"Wow! Are you from the Domodic family? I remember that many people in your family seem to be councillors?"

Chen Ying asked in surprise.

"Well, the family has a seat in parliament and has produced quite a few members."

"Then on the parliament side, Chief Kaf, please help and speak more!"

Colifa and others all asked for help.

"I try my best."

Kraft did not refuse and agreed without hesitation.

"By the way, Su Ming, you are so powerful, what does your family do?"

Major Ye Hai looked at Su Ming expectantly and asked.

"Yes, which family are you from?"

Everyone looked at Su Ming curiously. He was so young and yet he had captured a major. Moreover, he was so strong. There were rumors that he had connections. With so many conditions added together, his background must be very strong!

Su Ming was embarrassed when he heard this. His father's status was similar to that of Kraft, and Kraft was still in active service.

Even if there is a Big Brother above the old man, it is probably difficult for him to have the ability to influence the review members of the parliament and the military.

"Stop nagging and just speak up!"

Korifah urged with a smile.

"I'm from Thunder Star Heavy Industry Group, and my grandfather is Su Zhentian."

Su Ming replied helplessly.

"It's from the Thunder Star Heavy Industry Group. This group is quite famous and pretty good! Was the third generation mecha Wind Chaser produced by your family?"

Chen Ying thought for a moment and replied.

"Yes."

Su Ming admitted it openly.

"Wait, you are from the Thunder Star Heavy Industry Group. I remember there is a Thunder God Star Heavy Industry Group above you?"

Korifah's eyes lit up and he quickly asked Su Ming.

"Thor Group is a giant in the Federation!"

At this time, Aragorn and others also spoke up.

"Ah? Raytheon Group? Never heard of it?"

Su Ming was also stunned for a moment. He had never heard his grandfather mention it.

"No? I remember your last name is Su, and there are rumors that the two companies are related?"

Colifa asked a little unsurely.

"I really don't know, and I don't know him."

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

"Oh."

When Colifa and others heard Su Ming say this, they immediately realized that he should have nothing to do with Raytheon.

Although it's a bit of a pity, Su Ming's background is pretty good. It's not as good as any other, but better than any other.

At this time, Hegas heard that Su Ming was just from a middle-class family, and he felt guilty and spoke.

"I have something to say."

"Ahem, Hegarth, why don't you just stop talking."

When Xiuen saw Hegas was about to speak, he quickly stopped him.

However, Hegas was as stubborn as ever and spoke despite Xiuen's dissuasion.

"What's there to hide? Seriously! I used to look down on the students of the Imperial Court Academy. I felt that they were just a bunch of weaklings who got in through the back door and had no real ability! But after getting along with Su Ming and Chief Kaf, I realized that was not the case. I was just shortsighted."

Su Ming asked with a strange look on his face when he heard this.

"Hegarth, is this how you all evaluate the Imperial Court Academy?"

"That's right. Not only that, we in the Sky also think that the people of Starlight City are just a bunch of star masters who rely on their good backgrounds and are very particular about things."

Hegaz said bluntly.

When Xiu En heard this, he touched his forehead and felt a little pain in his head. This guy was talking without restraint again.

When Su Ming and Kaf heard this, they looked at each other.

Timmy then spoke calmly.

"Actually, this is nothing strange. The opinions of our Rain City about Sky City are not very good either."

"What do you think of us?"

Hegaz asked directly.

"They say you are simple-minded, and most of you are reckless and chauvinistic."

Timmy said relatively tactfully.

But no matter how tactful they were, the faces of the officers from the Sky City, such as Hegas, were as black as charcoal.

At this time, Kaf sighed and said.

"In fact, Starlight City doesn't have a very good opinion of Rain City either."

“Oh, what do you think of us?”

Timmy looked at Kaf and asked curiously.

"Starlight City believes that the men of Rain City are all spineless and rely entirely on women, and believes that Rain City has achieved its current status thanks to female public relations."

Kaf thought for a long time before speaking.

When Timmy heard what Kraft said, his expression suddenly became unnatural.

The originally bustling office suddenly became quiet.

Su Ming's expression was also very interesting. What a guy, all of them are just shooting arrows! If this relationship can be good, his name will be written backwards.

It seems that the lack of unity within the Federation over the years has a lot to do with this trend. And Su Ming finally understood why the relationship between everyone was so strained when the Thirteenth Legion was first established.

But then again, this Hegas really doesn't know how to talk, and he keeps bringing up things that are irrelevant.

The good atmosphere was completely ruined, and it's a good thing that no fighting broke out now.

At this moment, an urgent message suddenly popped up on Su Ming and Kaf's bracelets at the same time.

The two of them took a look at the message and stood up immediately.

"What happened?"

Xiu En and the others were slightly startled and asked.

"I don't know. Major General Vickers summoned me to the central control room."

Su Ming spoke to Xiu En.

"Me too!"

Kaf also replied.

"Could it be that they were discovered by the Imperial Army?"

Timmy asked with a frown on his face.

"Not sure. Let's go to the central control room first. If there are any follow-up actions, we should notify you. Don't go anywhere. Just wait here."

Kaf instructed everyone.

"it is good!"

Xiuen and others replied seriously.

"Let's go, Su Ming!"

Kraft took Su Ming out of the office directly.

Not long after, Su Ming and Kaf passed through layers of checkpoints and arrived at the central control room of the Tsar.

As soon as he entered the central control room, Su Ming saw hundreds of operators sitting at their seats, performing complex operations.

Some are monitoring the status of equipment in various areas of the spacecraft, some are responsible for data analysis, and some are responsible for operating the spacecraft.
Su Ming looked at this scene and thought secretly that although his Fengdong was smaller than the Tsar, the manpower required would probably not be much less.

However, Su Ming quickly suppressed the matter. He and Kraft walked up to General Vickers and saluted solemnly.

"General, we are coming."

Major General Vickers said seriously.

"We are in some trouble now. Lieutenant Zhou Yuelin, tell them the situation in detail."

"My two sirs, the situation is like this. A level 3 battleship seems to have discovered our tracks. They sent out two third-generation mechas, Savage Beasts, and three second-generation mechas, Beast Fangs, and have been exploring the direction of our ship."

Zhou Yuelin briefly explained the situation.

"I see."

Kafu and Su Ming understood immediately.

At this time, Major General Vickers said in a deep voice.

"I now require the two of you to drive the mechas into battle. I will let the mechanical octopus lie on you to provide camouflage and protection. You go and keep an eye on the team of imperial soldiers. Remember to be careful when following them and don't let them discover you."

"General, why don't we just kill them? Su Ming and I will act at the same time. We can kill them in less than ten seconds!"

Kraft suggested to Vickers in a deep voice.

"No, we must not destroy them unless it is absolutely necessary!"

When Vickers heard what Kraft said, he warned him in a very tough manner.

Su Ming and Kaf were also startled to see Vickers' tough attitude, and looked puzzled.

Kaf asked with a frown on his face.

"General, I don't quite understand why we can't kill him?"

"If we kill these imperial teams, we will be exposed!"

Vickers seemed to realize that his tone was a bit too tough, so he explained in a deep voice.

"I don't think being exposed is a big problem. We are on our way back! Even if the Imperial Army noticed, their troops are searching for and besieging the Star Fortress. By the time they are transferred here, we will have already disappeared."

Kaf asked in confusion. "If we can avoid being exposed, we should do it. What if the Imperial Army mobilizes external forces to intercept us on our way back? Anyway, you just need to watch that team. As long as they don't find the ship, they are not allowed to take action. And even if they want to take action, they must notify me. Then we will destroy the ship behind them, and not a single one can be left alive!"

Vickers said with a sharp look in his eyes.

Su Ming and Kaf looked at each other and responded in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"Go!"

Vickers waved his hand and asked Su Ming and Kaf to carry out the mission.

Su Ming and the other person immediately left the central control room and headed for the hangar on a fast-moving metal platform.

At this time, Kaf lowered his voice and spoke to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, do you feel that something is not right?"

"You mean, the order from Major General Vickers?"

"Ah."

Kaf said in a deep voice.

"I think there is nothing wrong with Major General Vickers' order, but there is a problem."

Su Ming thought for a moment and replied.

"I think so too. If we are just returning home, do we really need to go to this extent? After all, we are leaving by a long way and do not need to pass through the Imperial Army's defense line. It would be difficult for them to intercept us even if they want to."

Kafu said as his eyes kept changing.

In fact, the defense lines of the three major forces are not ironclad. As long as you bring enough supplies and are not afraid of danger, you can take a detour and pass through some dangerous star seas.

"I think we should just pretend we don't know about this matter and not discuss it too much. It would be bad if people with ulterior motives heard about it."

Su Ming pondered for a moment and expressed his thoughts.

"it is good!"

After listening to Su Ming's words, Kaf said nothing more.

Soon after.

Su Ming and Kaf controlled the mecha to leave the Tsar mothership. Three mechanical octopuses were entangled on the bodies of their mechas.

These mechanical octopuses provide all-round camouflage for Su Ming and Kafu's mechas.

The two mechas were flying in the starry sky like ghosts.

Soon the two of them successfully approached the five mechas of the Imperial Army.

"Let's not get too close."

Su Ming said to Kaf.

"Ok!"

Kraft said nothing.

The two men drove their mechas and stared at the five mechas all the way. Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Kaf said with a frown.

"Su Ming, this won't work! The direction these five mechas are flying in is roughly the same as the Tsar's sailing direction. They must have discovered something."

"Don't worry, didn't Major General Vickers say that we can't take action unless it's absolutely necessary?"

Su Ming replied calmly.

"Then it's not a solution for us to just follow like this, right?"

Kaf stared at the five mechas and discussed with Su Ming.

When Su Ming heard this, he suddenly had an idea and tried to switch the communication channel to the public channel. As a result, he really heard the other party's voice.

He immediately turned back and spoke to Kraft.

"Kaf, switch the communication channel to the public channel. There's a surprise!"

"it is good!"

Kraft then tried to adjust it.

As a result, when he switched to the public channel, he immediately heard the other party's voice.

"Matko, we've been chasing for so long, are you sure there's a problem?"

"Qi Qiu, I just had a moment to observe through the optical device, and I did find a little problem. It seems that the starry sky in front is really blocked by something."

Matko said uncertainly.

"Look carefully, don't waste your time. After all, the scanning device didn't scan anything."

Qi Wei said to Matt Ko.

"Okay, I'll observe it for a while."

Matko replied solemnly.

Hearing this, Kaf switched the channel to the encrypted one and spoke to Su Ming.

"The situation is a bit bad. They really noticed something was wrong."

"But we haven't been completely exposed yet. Lord Vickers will never let us kill them."

"Then keep watching!"

"Ok!"

Su Ming nodded.

The two continued to operate the mecha and stared at them, but the situation became worse and worse, as this group of people were getting closer and closer to the Tsar.

Looking at the Tsar, there is a possibility of being exposed at any time.

At this time, Kaf's patience reached its limit, and he said to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, we can't let them follow us any further. This will cause problems. I'm going to report to General Vickers and request to eliminate the enemy."

After hearing what Kaf said, Su Ming frowned.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered a meteorite area in the distance on the right. He immediately came up with an idea and started talking.

"I have a way, watch me!"

"Uh?"

Kraft was also stunned, then followed.

At this time, Matko led his companions and continued to explore forward. Just as he was carefully observing the starry sky ahead, looking for abnormalities.

Suddenly, a small meteorite flew over from space and hit his mecha right on target.

Bang!
When Mike heard the prompt from the mecha simulation, his expression suddenly tensed and he said in the communication channel.

"There is a situation!"

"What's wrong, Miket!"

Qi Qiu and others asked immediately.

"A meteorite hit me."

"This is not a very normal thing, could it be a coincidence?"

"This... is not right. There is something fishy going on. This way!"

Mike was also a little unsure, but at this moment, he keenly saw a small meteorite flying over and hitting him right on target.

"it is good!"

Qi Qiu and others immediately followed McT and changed direction to pursue.

As a result, every time Mike slowed down a little and wanted to stop to observe, another meteorite would fly over without any warning.

swell~
His mecha was hit again.

"Damn, what's going on?"

Mike became more and more annoyed and kept flying towards the direction where the meteorites were coming from.

It wasn't long before they chased into the meteorite area, and they went deeper and deeper.

But even after chasing to this point, McTe still didn't figure out what was throwing the meteorite fragments at him. He didn't even see a ghost.

Suddenly, Mike began to feel a little uneasy and a little weird.

At this time, Qi Qiu was uneasily persuading in the communication channel.

"McCat, stop chasing us! I don't think something is right. We seem to be being led into the meteorite zone."

Mike stopped immediately and said to Qi Qiu.
"Just forget it?"

"McGill, this is a bit too abnormal. Maybe some special creature is targeting us. We don't need to take this risk."

Qi Qiu tried his best to dissuade Max.

"Okay, let's retreat!"

Max's expression changed for a while, and finally he decisively chose to give up. He withdrew from the meteorite area with his subordinates and returned to his ship.

Shortly after they left, Su Ming and Kaf appeared at the edge of the meteorite area.

"It's done!"

Su Ming said to Kaf with a smile.

"You have a good brain. You used strange phenomena to make them afraid and confused about the situation, so they retreated."

Kaf couldn't help but praise Su Ming.

"Okay, let's go!"

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Ok!"

Kraft responded immediately.

The two then controlled the mecha and chased after the Tsar.

Two days later.

Inside the Tsar's central control room.

Major General Vickers sat in the command chair, constantly checking the star map.

At this time, Colonel Zhou Quan came over and reported with a serious expression.

"Major General Vickers, we are almost at the edge of the Dark Forest. Do we really want to go this way?"

"Any questions?"

"Isn't it too risky? This dark forest is very dangerous. It is a forbidden star sea in the Dark Star Empire."

"We have to take this route because it is dangerous."

"But."

"It's nothing to worry about. Send a message to all school-level officers and put them on combat readiness."

Vickers gave the order directly.

"Yes."

Colonel Zhou Quan took a deep breath and responded.

In the room of the Fengdong.

Su Ming sat at the desk, swiping his bracelet and browsing some information.

At this time, Xiao Hui kept putting his head in front of the bracelet screen.

"Don't make trouble!"

Su Ming tapped Xiao Hui's little head and said with a smile.

At this time, a prompt popped up on Su Ming's bracelet.

"Emergency notice: Dear Major Su Ming, the Tsar fleet is about to enter the Dark Forest Star Sea. Please immediately summon all combatants to prepare for battle. Please note that the relevant information needs to be kept confidential to personnel below the school level."

After reading it, Su Ming directly sent a message to Rhine and others, asking them to go to the Tsar hangar to board the plane and wait.

After doing all this, Su Ming just stood up and prepared to leave when Xiao Hui jumped directly onto his shoulder.

"Xiao Hui, you stay at home. I'm going to work."

Su Ming said to Xiao Hui with some surprise.

Xiao Hui kept shaking his head and insisted on going with them.

"Fine!"

Seeing this, Su Ming agreed. After all, it was just preparation for war, not a real fight.

When Xiao Hui saw that Su Ming agreed, he jumped from his shoulder to his pocket and hid.

Not long after, Su Ming arrived at the Tsar hangar.

The entire hangar was filled with running non-commissioned officers, all rushing towards their mechas.

"Su Ming."

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind.

Su Ming turned his head and saw Xiuen, Kaf and others walking towards him, and then he greeted them.

"You are here."

"Well, did you get that message too?"

Kaf asked in a deep voice.

"Ok!"

Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

"Do you feel something is not right?"

Kaf said with a frown.

"It's obviously wrong, isn't it? We are not being hunted, there is no need to take such a big risk and enter the Dark Forest Star Sea. We can even go out along the edge of the Dark Star Sea."

Korifah said in a low voice.

"Right! I think so too. What do you think General Vickers is thinking?"

Xiu En was also a little unsure.

"I have a very bad feeling. Is the Legion Commander going to use that trick again?"

Chen Ying asked with some guilt.

When Su Ming and others heard Chen Ying's words, they all looked at him with dark faces.

"I was talking nonsense, bah! Children should not be restrained in their words!"

Chen Ying swallowed hard and said.

"Forget it, stop guessing, let's get on the plane and wait!"

Su Ming coughed and said.

"All right!"

Kraft and others didn't say much.

Everyone walked towards their respective mechas.

Not long after, Su Ming sat in the cockpit of the Killer Mecha.

He called up the operating interface and tried to search the mecha database for information about the Dark Forest Star Sea, and he actually found a lot of it.

It seems that Master Akara has preserved the original database of the Blood Falcon Mecha.

Su Ming first clicked on the images and patterns of the dark forest and starry sea to look at them.

The Dark Forest Star Sea is different from the regular Star Sea, as it is full of black star dust. These black star dusts gather together and condense into nebulae of different shapes, including hideous skulls, hideous monsters, and various strange and deformed creatures.

It gives people a great visual and psychological impact.

Of course, the reason why the Dark Forest was listed as a forbidden star sea by the Dark Star Empire was not because of these strange nebulae. The main reason was that this star sea was inhabited by various dangerous races and creatures, including Chirami, mechanical race, Zerg, and some unknown races.

Basically, few ships that enter this sea of ​​stars can come out alive.

After Su Ming carefully browsed through the information about the Dark Forest, he immediately called up the star map of the entire Dark Star Empire.

He looked at the star map of the Dark Star Empire and analyzed it carefully based on the current location of the Tsar.

As a result, he found that what Korifah, Kaf and others said was right. If they just wanted to return to the Federation, there was no need to enter the Dark Forest. They could just leave the Dark Star Empire along the edge.

Su Ming thought of this and immediately turned his gaze to the map of the Dark Forest.

He gestured with his hands, indicating that if they entered the Dark Forest and did not leave the Dark Star Empire, but instead sailed out in a roundabout way, they would arrive here.

When Su Ming saw the direction he was pointing to, he was stunned.

He discovered that the location he was pointing to was actually behind the main star of the Dark Star Empire, which meant that if they did not leave the Dark Star Empire, they would go around behind the enemy.

Su Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly. What was the legion commander going to do? Was he going to destroy the Dark Star Empire?
Inside the Tsar's central control room.

Zhou Yuelin continued to report.

"General, all combatants have entered combat readiness, and the ships have sailed into the Dark Forest Star Sea. Everything is normal at the moment."

"Well, everyone, cheer up, especially the people in charge of monitoring."

Vickers said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Zhou Yuelin and others responded seriously.

After Vickers gave the order, he sat in the command chair with a tense expression, waiting quietly.

If all went well, they would sail in the Dark Forest for 2 days.

Soon time passed by little by little.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten hours passed and everything was calm. Thanks to the camouflage of these mechanical octopuses, although they encountered many alien creatures along the way, they were not attacked.

Vickers's tense nerves relaxed a little, and he took a sip of the cold coffee.

Suddenly a shrill alarm sounded.

A red warning box popped up.

"Warning: High energy reaction detected!"

"General, it seems we are being targeted by unknown creatures."

Zhou Yuelin hadn't finished speaking yet.

In the distance, a gray beam of light streaked across the starry sky and hit the energy barrier of the Tsar.

The gray sun rose, and the entire Tsar shook violently, causing the coffee in Vickers' hand to spill directly on him.

Zhou Yuelin reported nervously.

"The strength of the Tsar's energy barrier has dropped by thirty percent!"

Vickers's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately stood up and asked.

"Did you see the target of our attack?"

"No! The radar scanner can't detect the target. There is too much interference in this area."

The operator reported nervously.

"Damn it! Where's the Gemini?"

Major General Vickers immediately felt something was very bad. Thirty percent of the Tsar's energy shield could be destroyed in one go. The creatures attacking them were at least Type IV or above, and they were definitely not ordinary Type IV creatures.

"No, the Gemini's scanning device didn't detect the other party either. General, what should we do now?"

Zhou Yuelin asked anxiously, if it was hit two more times, the energy barrier would be broken. Once the energy barrier was broken, the ship would be damaged and finished.

"Pass my order. Immediately send the 1-3 Mech Regiment out to search for the target. At the same time, order the Gemini to get close to the Tsar and be ready to defend the Tsar from attacks at any time!"

Vickers gave the order very decisively.

"Yes!"

Zhou Yuelin responded quickly.

Inside the hangar, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded, followed by an urgent broadcast.

"Emergency combat notice, the Tsar has been attacked by unknown creatures, 1-3 mecha formations are dispatched."

After hearing the broadcast, Su Ming immediately controlled the Killer Mech and led Rhine and others to the exit.

In the logout channel, a row of yellow indicator lights instantly turned green.

Su Ming was the first to step into the logout passage and rushed out along the passage at high speed.

Rhine and others followed closely behind.

Swish!

Soon, Su Ming and others controlled the mecha, rushed out of the Tsar, and appeared in the dark starry sky.

For a moment, all kinds of distorted and hideous nebulae appeared in everyone's eyes.

Everyone was stunned and spoke uneasily on the communication channel.

"where is this?"

"I don't know, why do the black nebulae around us look so scary?"

"It's like a monster."

Su Ming listened to everyone's discussion and spoke in a deep voice.

"Everyone, be quiet. Don't be affected by the external environment. Our current mission is to find the unknown creature that attacked the mothership. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

When everyone heard this, they responded one after another.

However, at this moment, a terrified scream suddenly came from the public channel.

"what!"

"Chen Qi!"

Immediately afterwards, the communication channel was filled with the shocked and angry roars of companions.

Su Ming immediately turned his head to look over, and saw a black figure biting an Iron Guard into pieces, then rushed directly into the black nebula and disappeared.

Lieutenant Colonel Aragon controlled the mecha to chase after it, but ended up finding nothing. He then angrily cursed in the communication channel.

"What the hell is this?"

Su Ming glanced at his scanning device and didn't see any red dot.

His heart sank instantly, even though he had only seen it once.

However, Su Ming could tell that the creatures that attacked the ship were extremely large and extremely fast, and the situation was worse than he had imagined.

At this moment, everyone suddenly scanned their devices and a shrill alarm sounded.

"Warning: High energy reaction detected!"

Su Ming looked at the scanning radar device and found a flickering red dot moving irregularly at high speed.

When they followed the radar's indication and looked up at the starry sky, they could see nothing.

Swish!
The next second, a gray beam of light shot out without warning, piercing through several Iron Guard mechas and accurately hitting the Tsar again!
boom!
A huge explosion spread.

The energy barrier of the Tsar dropped by another 29 percent.

In the central control room, Vickers roared angrily.

"Quick, find it for me."
