Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 351: Holy Army (Five-in-One)

In the starry sky of the dark forest.

I saw a large group of imperial soldiers, desperately controlling their mechas and rushing in.

They were like mad dogs, biting Su Ming and others and shooting out beams of light.

Whoosh~
A Taiwan Railway Guard was blown up.

Immediately afterwards, these imperial soldiers controlled the mechas and rushed forward like crazy.

The mechas of both sides started fighting in the gray nebula!
Rumble!
Violent explosions continued to rise, illuminating large areas of the nebula.

"Don't fight too long, break out to the deeper areas!"

Kaf controlled the Shadow Killer, split a beast tooth mecha in half, and shouted in the communication channel.

Everyone continued to struggle to break free from the entanglement and continued to fly towards the depths of the dark forest and starry sky.

And those imperial soldiers were like dog-skin plasters, which could not be shaken off no matter how hard you tried, and they stuck to you again and again.

Every time it sticks to someone, it entangles a part of them, just like a hyena tearing a piece of meat from its prey.

Seeing this, Rhine became extremely anxious and shouted in the communication channel.

"Squad leader, those bastards are catching up with us!"

Su Ming turned his head to look and saw groups of imperial soldiers chasing after them again. He spoke coldly.

"Kaf, we'll cover your retreat! The rest of you retreat!"

"it is good!"

Kraft responded without hesitation.

"Monitor?"

Rhine and others were also surprised. They didn't expect Su Ming and Kaf to stay behind to cover their retreat.

"Follow the order, go!"

Su Ming gave the order without question, and then controlled the Killer to turn towards the pursuing Imperial Army.

I have to say that these imperial soldiers are really brave and have no fear of death at all.

At this time, Kaf also controlled the fourth-generation mecha Shadow Killer to follow.

Click!

Su Ming chopped a mecha in half with one sword. The plasma lightsaber in his hand was like the scythe of the god of death, madly reaping the lives of the imperial soldiers.

However, faced with such a brutal Su Ming, the soldiers of the imperial army not only did not retreat, but rushed towards Su Ming frantically.

"Brothers, if we kill the enemy commander, we will be saved!"

"Fight him!"

In the eyes of these imperial soldiers, all they had to do was fight to the death to kill Su Ming and Kaf.

Their sin of losing the Heart of Heaven can be forgiven.

Su Ming and Kafu faced the swarming enemies and held on with gritted teeth!

For every minute they hold on, the people below can escape a further distance, and the greater the chance of getting away.

Time passes by second by second.

Seeing that Chen Ying and the others were about to fly out of the maximum coverage area of ​​his scanning device, Kaf shouted at Su Ming.

"Go, light speed flash!"

"it is good!"

Su Ming responded in a deep voice.

The two of them increased their power output at the same time, and disappeared at the speed of light.

The next second, two mechas appeared in the distance, and then ran at full power to chase after Rhine and the others.

Inside the magnificent hall of the Blood Edge Fortress.

Os interrupted the relay video communication, his expression became extremely ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, his body muscles were tense, like an enraged beast, emitting a dangerous and terrifying aura.

Seeing Lord Os so furious, Deputy Legion Commander Caesars and others lowered their heads.

"Go, call Motri, Aurora and the others over!"

"Yes!"

Deputy Legion Commander Kaisas immediately took the order and turned to leave.

Not long after, the three legion commanders, Motri, Oro and Atude, arrived at the hall.

Oss glanced coldly at Motri and the other two. He knew one thing very well. The Emperor would suddenly communicate with him, which must be because someone had impeached him.

The only ones who have the ability to do this are the three legion commanders in front of us.

At this time, Motri saw that Os looked like he wanted to eat someone, and spoke with a sneer.

"Huh, aren't you awesome? Can't you sit still?"

"What happened?"

Oro asked with a frown on her face.

"What could possibly happen? The sky is falling! I just got the news that the Heart of the Skybase was destroyed by the Thirteenth Legion of the Federation!"

Commander Motri said coldly.

When Oro and Atude heard what Motri said, their faces changed slightly.

They knew better than anyone how important the Heart of the Sky was, as it was built by the Empire at a cost of countless financial resources.

"That's because they are incompetent!"

Oss looked at Motri fiercely and replied.

Motley didn't bother to be polite with Oss and went straight to the point.

"If you hadn't insisted on doing things your own way time and again, this would have happened. Now it's all right! The Heart of the Skybase has been destroyed. I wonder how you're going to explain this to the Emperor!"

"Shut up, I'm not in the mood to argue with you here, the Emperor has ordered!"

Oss did not continue arguing with Motri and announced his order directly.

When Motri heard Os say that the Emperor had given an order, he shut up and stopped arguing.

Oro and others looked at Oss with serious expressions.

"The Emperor has ordered the destruction of the star!"

When Motri and others heard what Oss said, their faces suddenly changed.

It really proves the saying that when a common man is angry, blood splatters five steps away; when a king is angry, millions of corpses are buried.

Now that the Emperor is enraged, the only way to end it is to destroy the planet.

"Yes!"

Oro and the others replied with serious expressions.

"Get ready, gather all the troops!"

Os waved his hand and gave the order.

After listening to this, Motri and others turned around and left.
-
In the dark forest and sea of ​​stars.

Su Ming controlled the broken killer and flew in the starry sky with Rhine and others.

After great efforts, they finally got rid of the pursuing imperial army.

Su Ming looked around at the remaining people and found that there were only 832 people left, while there were more than 1200 people when they rushed into the Dark Forest Star Sea.

After being entangled by the imperial soldiers for a few rounds, nearly one-third of the personnel were left behind.

At this time, Su Ming discovered that except for the sacrificed Sun Lu, the avatars of several of his classmates had turned gray.

He said to Rhine in a deep voice.

"Rhine! Did Zhu Wei, Moody, Niduo, and Zhang Yan die?"

Rhine said after a few seconds of silence.

"Zhu Wei, Moody, and Niduo died when they attacked the Heart of the Skybase. As for Zhang Yan, he probably didn't catch up, so he may still be alive."

When Ankajia and the others heard what Rhine said, they all showed sad expressions.

Although what Rhine said is a possibility, if you think about it with your toes, you will know that the probability is too small. Basically, if you leave the team, you will be deemed dead.

"I see."

Su Ming replied with a heavy heart.

Thirty of their classmates joined the army, but now only twenty-five are left, and one of them, Zhang Yi, is still lying in the hospital.

For a moment, the team's communication channel fell silent.

A few hours later, everyone continued to fly in the dark forest and starry sky.

"Where are we in the Dark Forest now?"

"I don't know. All directions are messed up."

"The navigation device doesn't work at all."

In the communication channel, people were discussing with low morale.

Su Ming looked at the gray nebula around him with a frown on his face. There were no reference points here at all, and he couldn't tell the direction.

The worst thing is that the electronic equipment of the fourth-generation mecha doesn’t work very well here.

At this moment, the hesitant voice of a non-commissioned officer was heard in the communication channel.

"Ka, Commander Kaf, my mech is running out of fuel."

"Mine too, only 7 percent left."

Suddenly, voices rang out.

When Su Ming heard this, he immediately asked Rhine and others.

"Rhine, how much fuel do you have left?"

"Not much. We only have about 10 percent left."

Rhine and others responded.

"Damn it, stop flying!"

Kraft immediately gave orders on the communication channel.

"All stop."

Su Ming also spoke up.

After hearing this, everyone controlled their mechas to stop and gathered together.

"Su Ming, do you have any good ideas?"

Kaf took a deep breath and asked Su Ming.

"I don't have any good ideas. The most urgent thing now is to find the battleship group."

Su Ming replied in a tricky way.

"The question is, did the capital fleet escape?"

Kaf asked, somewhat worriedly.

Su Ming and others were also very worried when they heard what Kaf said. If the main fleet failed to escape, they would be doomed!
At this time, a voice sounded in the communication channel.

"Sir, my mecha is equipped with a high-power communication device. I received the evacuation information from the Tsar, and it seems that they are also evacuating to the Dark Forest. I just don't know if they have escaped."

When Su Ming heard this, he immediately spoke.

“Whether they have escaped or not, we must find a way to find the Tsar. If we can’t reunite with the Tsar, we will never get out of the Dark Forest and Star Sea, and we will all die here!”

When everyone heard Su Ming's words, their morale dropped even further, although they had completed the mission and escaped.

But the situation is even worse now. This dark forest is so big, where can we find it?
At this time, Rhine suddenly spoke.

"Captain Su Ming, Commander Kaf, how much energy do your mechas have left?"

"Sixty-two percent!"

"Forty-three percent!"

Su Ming and Kaf replied at the same time.

"Commander, why don't you go alone? We really don't have enough fuel. You still have hope of finding the Tsar. If that doesn't work, you can still try to escape from the Dark Forest."

Rhine said to Su Ming and Kaf.

"Yes, Captain Kraft, you can go, and we can give you the supplies."

When everyone heard what Rhine said, they all spoke up.

"Shut up, everyone!"

When Su Ming heard this, he started to scold.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"We have survived a dangerous battle. Are we going to give up now? Listen, Kafu and I will never give up on you."

"But?"

"No buts. Everyone stay here. Turn off the flight devices and unnecessary equipment. Reserve the fuel for the life support system. Kraft and I will go find the Tsar!"

Su Ming said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

When everyone heard Su Ming's words, they all responded.

Su Ming and Kaf then controlled the mecha and flew forward.

They turned on the manual navigation system and recorded their flight routes.

Half a day passed.

Su Ming and Kaf were flying aimlessly in the starry sky. There were gray nebulae everywhere around them and they could not see anything at all.

Kraft said hoarsely in the communication channel.

"Su Ming, do you think we can find the Tsar?"

"It's a slim hope, but we have no choice. We have already completed our mission, and the worst that can happen is that we get lost and die here."

Su Ming was neither afraid nor panicked, but replied very calmly.

Kaf was slightly touched when he heard Su Ming's answer. Few people could remain so calm in desperate situations.

He said to Su Ming very seriously.

"Su Ming, it's an honor to be able to partner with you and fight side by side! You are right, even the worst outcome is nothing more than sleeping here together."

"Me too!"

Su Ming replied with a silent smile.

At this moment, the two people's scanning devices suddenly issued an early warning at the same time, and five red dots appeared.

Su Ming and Kaf's expressions changed slightly, and they immediately controlled the mecha to turn around and look over.

Just behind them, out of the gray nebula flying past, suddenly appeared five old second-generation mechas, Beast Fangs.

Su Ming and Kaf immediately turned the particle beam cannon and locked onto the enemy!
Just as the two of them were about to take action, a tense shout suddenly sounded in the public communication channel.

"Don't fight. Are you from the Federation?"

"Kaf, wait!"

Su Ming immediately called out to Kaf.

"it is good!"

When Kaf heard Su Ming's words, he interrupted his attack.

Su Ming stared at the five old beast-fang mechas and spoke in a low voice on the public communication channel.

"Who are you? Tell me your identities?"

"We are not from the Imperial Army, we are from the Holy GM Army. My name is Bayer!"

"The Holy Army?"

"Yes, it is a free organization that aspires to overthrow the Dark Star Empire. May I ask, are you from the Federation?"

Bayer looked at Su Ming and Kaf and asked expectantly.

“Yes, we are from the Federation.”

Su Ming replied in a deep voice.

"Great! It's really federal."

"They really are from the Federation. Their mechas look so awesome!"

When Bayer and others heard Su Ming's words, they all spoke excitedly.

Su Ming and Kaf looked at this group of people in confusion, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Bayer asked excitedly.

"Dear federal governor, what is your name?"

"My name is Su Ming, and his name is Kafu."

Su Ming briefly introduced himself.

"Master Su Ming, why did you come to the Dark Forest?"

Bayer asked curiously.

"We just destroyed the Heart of the Space Base, and then we were chased into the Dark Forest by the Imperial Army."

Su Ming gave a brief explanation.

"What? You destroyed the nearby Skybase Heart?"

Bayer and others were dumbfounded.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Su Ming narrowed his eyes and asked. Although this group of people claimed to be from the Holy Army, he did not completely believe them.

Once he finds a problem, he will remove it immediately.

"No, Master Su Ming, you are so amazing, you are simply our idols. The Heart of the Sky Base is heavily guarded! Ordinary people can't even get close to it, and you actually destroyed it!"

Bayer and others said with great admiration.

"Fortunately."

Su Ming replied calmly.

Judging from the reactions of these people so far, it seems that they are really from the Holy Army.

"Master Su Ming, I see you guys are wandering around, are you lost? If you need any help, just let us know."

Bayer asked enthusiastically.

Su Ming and Kaf looked at each other, and finally Su Ming spoke.

"We do need help. We were being chased by the Imperial Army and have hastily fled into the Dark Forest Star Sea. Our fuel and supplies are running out!"

"Is that so? If you don't mind, you can come to our base."

Bayer invited directly.

"Your base?"

"Yes, we have a habitat in the Dark Star Sea, not far from here."

"Okay, let's go back and call for help!"

Su Ming's eyes changed for a moment, and then he agreed.

"No problem, we'll go with you!"

Bayer replied excitedly.

"go!"

Su Ming and Kaf then took them and flew towards the troops.

Along the way, Kaf switched the communication channel to an encrypted channel and spoke to Su Ming.

"Wouldn't it be a bit risky to do this?"

"We have no choice. We need supplies now. Once our people run out of fuel, the life support system will stop working, and then they will die!"

"I see!"

"Of course this doesn't mean we trust them. When we get to their base, Kafu, you and your men should not get off the mechas. If anything goes wrong, we will take them down."

Su Ming instructed Kaf.

"understand!"

Kaf responded in a deep voice.

On the other side, Rhine and others were floating in the starry sky, waiting for Su Ming and Kaf to come back from their investigation while talking on the communication channel.

"It's been so long, why hasn't the squad leader come back yet?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? How can the search be so fast?"

"I'm not worried about something happening to the monitor."

Ankaja said with some concern.

"Don't worry, if anything happens to us, nothing will happen to the squad leader."

Rhine still has great confidence in Su Ming.

Just then, An Qi suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Look, Su Ming and Kafu are back!"

After hearing this, Rhine and the others raised their heads and looked towards the distant starry sky, and then saw the Killer and the Shadow Killer, but they also saw five Beast Fang Mechas following behind.

"What's going on? Why are there five beast-fang mechas following Su Ming?"

Ankaja said in confusion.

"Could it be that the squad leader and Chief Kraft were held hostage?"

Hamiu scratched his head and said.

“Don’t talk! Those five broken mechas couldn’t even hold me hostage, how could they hold Su Ming and Kafu hostage?”

Rhine replied unhappily.

At this time, Su Ming's voice was heard in the public communication channel.

"Everyone, we have found our companions from the Holy Army. Now everyone start up the mechas. We are going to their base!"

The communication channel was instantly in an uproar.

"The Holy Army? That sounds so familiar!"

"I have some impression of it. It seems to be a very famous resistance organization in the Dark Star Empire!"

"The predecessor of this Holy Army seems to be the ace army of the Dark Star Empire. Later, it seemed that they were dissatisfied with the Emperor's rule and raised the banner of rebellion."

"The enemy of my enemy is now our own people!"

"Makes sense!"

Major Chen Ying spoke.

"Don't talk, just follow me!"

"okay!"

Everyone started up their mechas and flew towards Su Ming and the others.

"Wow! So many advanced mechas, worthy of being the Federation!"

Bayer and the others were extremely surprised when they saw the mecha flying over.

When Su Ming heard this, a strange look appeared on his face. He didn't know why, but he always felt that these people from the Holy Army seemed to be a little bit unsophisticated.

However, Su Ming did not show it, but spoke.

"Mr. Bayer, we can go now."

"Okay, follow us!"

Bayer came to his senses and immediately took Su Ming and others to fly towards the distant starry sky.

A few hours later.

Su Ming and others followed Bayer into a huge gray nebula. They continued flying in the gray nebula and then came to a meteorite area.

They kept flying inward, constantly passing through floating meteorites.

"Is your base here?"

Su Ming asked as he observed the meteorites around him.

"Yes, our base is right here. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. There's nowhere to hide outside. We can only hide here."

Bayer said to Su Ming with a wry smile.

"I see. This location is good and very hidden."

Su Ming gave an objective evaluation.

"The meteorite in front is our base."

At this time, Bayer said excitedly to Su Ming and others.

Su Ming looked over and saw a giant meteorite with a diameter of 500 kilometers floating in the starry sky ahead.

On the surface of this giant meteorite, there are five old second-generation mechas, Beast Fang Guardians.

When the five beast-fang mechas saw the groups of mechas flying towards them, they were immediately frightened.

Fortunately, they saw Bayer and others flying in the front, otherwise they would definitely sound the alarm.

"Shillong, look who we brought back."

Bayer shouted excitedly.

"Byer, who are they?"

Captain Xilong asked with some stammering. "They are from the Federation. Guess what they just did?"

Bayer replied excitedly.

"I don't know."

Captain Shillong replied in confusion.

"They just destroyed the heart of the celestial base in the nearby Xinghai. Isn't that amazing!"

Bayer said to Xillon and others very excitedly.

"Are you kidding? Did they really destroy the Heart of the Skybase?"

Xilong and others' eyes widened and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

"Why would I lie to you? I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to take them to see the leader!"

Bayer led Su Ming and the others and flew towards the rough hole on the surface of the meteorite.

Su Ming and others followed.

Soon they entered the cave and entered a rough passage.

The rock walls of the passage are uneven, with a lighting lamp hung at regular intervals, and the conditions are very simple.

Rhine watched this scene and secretly spoke to Su Ming in the encrypted channel.

"Captain, I had some doubts before that they were the Imperial Army trying to trick us, but seeing how simple this place is, I feel like this group of people should be the real Holy Army."

"Speak less, and don't take it lightly even if it's the Holy Army."

Su Ming instructed Rhine.

"it is good!"

Rhine responded seriously.

Not long after, under Bayer's guidance, Su Ming and others passed through a layer of wind isolation barrier and flew to the end of the passage.

They passed through the inner passage and came to a huge, simple hangar.

I saw that many parts of the walls around the hangar were exposed rocks, without even a metal frame.

As for the equipment on display, they were very old and covered with rust, like a pile of waste.

In addition, there are a hundred dilapidated mechas parked here scattered around, half of which are modified first-generation mechas, Tie Tu, and the rest are second-generation mechas, Beast Fangs, but each one is older than the other.

"Just park the mecha here."

Bayer said to Su Ming and others.

Su Ming then controlled the Killer Mech to slow down, leaned against the wall, and slowly sat down.

呲味~
The mecha rubbed against the ground, creating sparks, and finally stopped exactly where it was.

Rhine and others also parked their mechas.

At this time, members of the Holy Army came over to the hangar and looked at the Killer and other mechas in confusion.

"I'll go, am I right?"

"Fourth generation mecha!"

"There are three red moons and three red stars on it!"

"Who are they?"

At this time, Bayer opened the cockpit and climbed down, took off his helmet, revealing his freckled face, and shouted to his companions excitedly.

"Uncle Uger, I'm back with my friends from the Federation!"

"Federation? Aren't they the same Federation troops that broke into the Dark Star Empire?"

A middle-aged man with dark skin, thin build, and wearing an old second-generation exoskeleton armor spoke in surprise.

"That's right!"

Bayer said excitedly.

At this time, Su Ming, Rhine and others opened the cockpit and jumped down, while Kaf and others stayed in the mecha and had no intention of coming down.

"Hello!"

Su Ming greeted Wu Ge and the others politely.

"Hello."

Wu Ge and others replied with a very nervous look.

"Uncle Wu Ge, I'll take them to see the leader first."

Bayer said to Uger.

"Go."

Uger replied very cautiously.

At this time, Bayer turned his head and looked at Su Ming and asked.

"Master Su Ming, aren't the rest of you coming together?"

"No need, just let them stay here."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Okay, then follow me!"

Bayer didn't think much about it and took Su Ming and the others towards the old lift.

Soon Su Ming and others walked onto the old lift platform, and Bayer pulled an operating lever.

Bang!

With a jerky friction sound, the lift began to sway upwards.

Soon after, the elevator rose through the top of the rock, and the view suddenly became clear, arriving at a hollow cave with a diameter of ten kilometers.

The cave is filled with cardboard-box-shaped houses built with scrap iron sheets, as well as simple processing plants emitting black smoke.

On the rock walls on both sides of the cave, there are exposed square and outdated life-sustaining mechanical devices, which constantly make harsh noises, like tractor engines.

At the same time, dim lights were hung on the metal beams at the top of the cave.

A pungent smell permeated the turbid air.

However, even though the conditions are so simple, there are still a lot of people living here.

A group of naked children were chasing and playing happily.

Many Holy Army personnel dressed in old clothes drove outdated transport vehicles, carrying the collected ore on the winding streets.

"Hurry up and deliver the ore to Factory No. 4."

"This is our home. Follow me and I'll take you to see the leader!"

Bayer led Su Ming and others inside.

Su Ming and his companions followed behind Bayer, looking around curiously.

At this time, Bayer met many hard-working people along the way, and they all greeted him.

"Bail, you're back!"

"Who are those people behind you? Why do they look so unfamiliar?"

"Yeah, new guy?"

"It doesn't look like that. They are well-equipped!"

"They are guests from the Federation."

Bayer replied proudly.

"Federation, did you really find someone from the Federation?"

When many members of the Holy Army heard Bayer's words, they all showed surprise.

Su Ming was a little puzzled when he saw their reactions. It seemed that this group of people's attitude towards them was unusually nice.

"Yeah, I won't chat with you anymore. I have to take them to see the leader right away."

Bayer said to the crowd.

"Go quickly!"

Everyone responded.

A moment later, Bayer brought Su Ming and others to the center, in front of an inconspicuous metal bungalow.

He pushed the door open, led Su Ming and others in, and shouted excitedly.

"Captain!"

Su Ming looked at the living room of the house. There was only a table and a few metal chairs. It was very simple, but it was spotlessly clean.

"Bail, what are you yelling about?"

At this time, a short woman with a high ponytail, a little baby fat and bright eyes walked out from the inner room.

"Fia, I didn't call you."

Bayer replied nonchalantly.

Fia was about to say Bayer when she suddenly saw Su Ming and the others were also stunned, and shouted nervously.

"who are they?"

"What's wrong, Fia?"

At this time, a very beautiful woman wearing a black windbreaker, with fair skin, blue hair, amber eyes, came out.

"Captain, look at them!"

Fia said nervously.

Novlin looked at Su Ming and the others, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

At this time, Bayer quickly introduced her to Novelin.

"Sister, this is Master Su Ming from the Federation!"

When Novlin heard that the other party was from the Federation, she bowed slightly to Su Ming and others.

"Hello, Master Su Ming, I am Noflin, the leader of the 163rd Regiment of the Holy Legion!"

"Hello."

Su Ming replied politely.

When Rhine and others heard Novlin's self-introduction, they all showed surprised expressions.

Commander of the 163rd Army, this sacred legion has so many organizations, it’s so awesome!

At this time, Bayer couldn't wait to say to Novelin.

"Sister, Lord Su Ming and his men are so powerful. They just took away the Heart of the Heavenly Base!"

"Ah? Is this true? The Heart of the Skybase is heavily guarded, and there is also a fortress."

Feiya said with a little disbelief.

"It's true, but we destroyed it by surprise."

Su Ming explained calmly.

"Even if it was destroyed by surprise, it is still very powerful. Corgis, who guards the heart of the Tianji, is an extremely difficult person."

Novlin replied, shaking her head.

"That guy has been killed by our squad leader!"

Rhine boasted directly.

When Feiya and the others heard this, they looked at Su Ming in shock.

"You killed Corgis?"

"Ahem, he should be dead."

Su Ming coughed and replied modestly.

"Master Su Ming, you are really amazing. I wonder what brings you here to see us?"

Novlin calmed her fluctuating heart and asked respectfully.

"It's like this. After we attacked the Heart of the Sky, we were chased by the Imperial Army. We hastily fled into the Dark Forest and got separated from the main force. Now we want to seek your help."

Su Ming went straight to the point.

"Master Su Ming, please tell us. As long as we can help, we will definitely not refuse."

Novlin stated directly without any hesitation.

"We need mech fuel and supplies."

Su Ming said directly without any hesitation.

"How many mechas? What models?"

Novlin looked at Su Ming and asked.

"More than 800, mostly second-generation Iron Guards."

Su Ming gave a rough figure.

When Novlin and the other two heard Su Ming's words, they fell into silence.

Su Ming was not surprised to see that Novlin and the other two remained silent. The cost of supplying so many mechas was very expensive, and no one would be willing to do so.

But now he had no other choice but to speak sincerely.

"Please help Miss Novelyn. Of course, we won't let you help with supplies for nothing. We can pay you."

When Novlin heard Su Ming's words, a complicated expression appeared on her face, and she was about to speak.

At this time, the door was pushed open and a cheerful young man shouted.

"Captain, dinner is ready!"

However, he was stunned as soon as he finished shouting, and looked at Su Ming and others in surprise.

He didn't expect that the captain actually had a guest.

Novlin turned and said to the young man.

“De Yin, I understand.”

"it is good!"

De Yin left in a hurry.

"Master Su Ming, it's a rare visit for you. Let's have a meal together."

Novlin turned and invited Su Ming and others.

"Okay! Sorry to bother you then."

Su Ming did not shirk or refuse, because he needed to negotiate with Novlin and the others about supplies, and also to gather some intelligence, so having a meal together was the best choice.

"Come with us!"

Novlin then led Su Ming and others away.

Not long after, Novlin brought Su Ming and others to an open area.

There were a number of simple metal tables here, and they were packed with people.

Novlin led Su Ming and others towards the main table.

The members of the Holy Army along the way looked at Su Ming and others curiously.

Soon Su Ming and his friends came to the main table, and De Yin and others brought up lunch.

Bowls of sticky porridge made from synthetic starch and a small plate of pickled bacon.

But this is not the point. The point is that all the porridge is in fixed quantity, and Novlin and others each have a bowl.

Therefore, there was nothing in front of Su Ming and others.

"De Yin, is there no more food?"

Novlin turned her head and looked at De Yin and asked.

"Captain, if you didn't tell me in advance, there would be no food."

De Yin replied with some embarrassment.

After hearing this, Novlin and the others pushed the porridge in front of them to Su Ming and the others, and spoke apologetically.

"Please understand that the conditions are limited."

Rhine and others looked at Su Ming in bewilderment.

Su Ming was also silenced.

So he pushed the bowl back to Novelin and said.

"Well, Lord Novlin, you guys should eat it."

"Not to your liking?"

"No, we're not actually that hungry, are we?"

Su Ming took a deep breath and replied with a forced smile.

"Yeah!"

Rhine and others quickly echoed.

“You don’t have to be so polite!”

Novlin pushed the bowl back to Su Ming and the others.

Su Ming and the others looked at the porridge in front of them, their expressions becoming more and more embarrassed.

At this moment, Su Ming suddenly noticed that there was a group of children gathered nearby, staring at their bowls eagerly.

One of the boys, about seven years old, licked the spoon in his hand with satisfaction and looked at him eagerly.

When Su Ming saw this scene, he couldn't help himself for a moment and handed the bowl to the boy.

Seeing this, Rhine also handed the bowl to them.

The children happily took the bowls and ran away!

"Oh, these little bastards are so ignorant!"

Bayer was a little angry when he saw this.

"fine."

Su Ming replied awkwardly.

He had always thought that Novlin and the others were unwilling to help him, but he didn't expect that they were so poor that they couldn't even afford food.

But he asked them for supplies for 800 mechas.

Su Ming suddenly felt that he was going too far.

Rhine and others also felt very ashamed.

"Master Su Ming, I'll have someone do it when you're hungry."

Novlin spoke softly to Su Ming.

"Thank you! Miss Novelin, how are you doing in the Dark Star Empire? Is it difficult?"

Su Ming took a deep breath and asked.

"Ah~ Yes! Not only us, but the people of the Dark Star Empire are also in dire straits. At least we still have food to eat, but many people don't even have food to eat and are starving to death."

Novlin said with a complicated expression.

"So bad?"

Rhine and the others said in astonishment.

"In fact, it wasn't that bad in the beginning. When the Dark Star Empire first became independent, although life was very difficult, at least we could survive. But as time went on, the situation became worse and worse! At first we thought that treacherous officials were in power, and some even risked their lives to meet the emperor. Later we even tried to clean up those treacherous officials in the name of clearing the emperor's side. But later we found out that it wasn't the case."

Fia said angrily.

"That is how the matter?"

Su Ming asked curiously.

"Later we discovered that the biggest problem came from the Emperor. He was the source of all the trouble."

Novlin explained calmly.

"Yes, it's that old immortal fellow. He's still alive after more than a thousand years!"

Bayer cursed through gritted teeth.

"Ah? Your emperor has lived for more than a thousand years?"

Rhine and others replied in shock.

"What's so surprising? Didn't your parliament chairman also live for more than a thousand years?"

Fia replied as usual.

"It seems so."

Rhine and others were slightly stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the Speaker of the Parliament really lived that long.

"So you wish to overthrow the Emperor?"

Su Ming asked after pondering for a while.

"That's right. We want to overthrow the Emperor and return to the Federation. In fact, we are a family. Before the Dark Star Empire was established, we were also part of the Federation."

Bayer said with great anticipation.

Rhine and others asked with a strange look on their faces.

"You want to return to the Federation?"

"Of course, I dream about how great the Federation would be!"

Bayer and others said longingly.

When Su Ming heard this, he touched his forehead and smiled bitterly.

It is ironic that many people in the Federation are very dissatisfied with the parliament, but they are extremely eager to return here.

But it is normal. No matter how bad the federal system is, at least people at the bottom still have food to eat and a way to survive.

The nobles of the Federation are still subject to the law.

As for the Dark Star Empire, only the nobles live a good life. The lower classes have no human rights at all. No one cares if they die, let alone think about making a name for themselves.

For a moment, everyone fell silent and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became heavy.

"Ah~"

Su Ming sighed slowly, then slowly said: "Captain Noflin, can you please do me a favor?"

"You say."

"Can you send someone to help search for our mothership, the Tsar?"

"That's no problem. I'll arrange for someone right away. You guys take a good rest here."

Novlin quickly stood up and replied.

"Well, be careful when searching, and don't be mistaken for an enemy."

Su Ming warned with some concern.

"clear!
Novlin nodded and replied.
-
The next day, in the lobby of the Su family villa in the City of Starlight.

Su Zhentian, Su Yao, Su Ying and other sons were sitting at the dining table.

Butler An Ke and Su Fu were waiting on the side.

They had breakfast while watching the projected TV.

The latest news is playing on TV.

A female host in a professional suit and with short hair reported with a serious expression.

"Now let me interrupt with an important piece of news. Not long ago, the Federation's Thirteenth Army launched a surprise attack on the Dark Star Empire's second largest energy storage center, the Space-Base Heart, and successfully destroyed it, dealing an unprecedented heavy blow to the Dark Star Empire."

"Damn it, well done!"

When Su Zhentian heard this message, he praised excitedly.

Su Yao on the side also showed a very surprised expression and said in disbelief.

"Did I hear correctly? The Thirteenth Legion that entered the Empire was not only not annihilated, but also destroyed the Dark Star Empire's Space Base Heart? This is incredible."

"Isn't this Thirteenth Legion newly established? How come it is so strong?"

Su Ying asked with a frown.

"Master, although the Thirteenth Legion was formed not long ago, it does not mean that its combat effectiveness is weak. It mainly depends on who the personnel are drawn from. The Federation may have drawn back many retired elite non-commissioned officers when it was formed."

Butler Anke gave his own insights.

"Well said! Damn it, it's such a pity that I wasn't called back! I've long wanted to charge into the Dark Star Empire and teach those little bastards a lesson."

Su Zhentian said with great regret.

When Su Yao heard Su Zhentian's words, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Father, you have been retired for so many years. It is not suitable for you to go back to the battlefield."

"Brother, you are right. And the Thunder Group still needs you to carry the banner. If you go to serve, what will happen to the company?"

Su Ying and others quickly spoke up to dissuade Su Zhentian from his idea.

The family company itself is not in a good situation. What would happen if Su Zhentian just ignores it while serving in the military?

"Shut up, damn it! Can you guys be more capable? You are so timid in everything you do. If I'm not here, are you all dead?"

Su Zhentian angrily scolded his sons.

When Su Yao and others heard Su Zhentian's words, they all remained silent.

"Ugh!"

Su Zhentian also sighed helplessly.

In fact, it is not that he is unwilling to give up power, but so far, none of his sons has been able to fully support the company.
