Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 352: Holy Army 2 (Five in One)

Inside the Dark Forest Starry Sky Meteorite Stronghold.

Su Ming woke up from the iron bed in a daze, his head feeling dizzy.

At this time, he saw Ankajia sitting on the chair next to him, supporting his chin with one hand and yawning continuously.

Su Ming sat up slowly and spoke tiredly.

"Ankaja, why don't you go to bed?"

"I'm worried, just watch!"

Seeing that Su Ming had woken up, Ankajia explained to him.

"Well, where are Rhine and the others?"

Su Ming looked at the other empty iron beds and then asked.

"They're back in the hangar."

Ankaja stood up, stretched and replied.

When Su Ming heard this, he got off the bed and said to Ankajia.

"Let's go to the hangar. You can take a nap in the cockpit."

"it is good!"

Ankaja nodded in response.

Su Ming took Ankajia out of the house and walked towards the hangar.

Half an hour later, Su Ming and Ankajia descended into the hangar on a mechanical platform.

The entire hangar was bustling with activity, as members of the Holy Army were moving things around.

Su Ming took Ankajia and walked towards the parking position of the Killer.

As he got closer, he saw a group of Holy Army personnel repairing the Killer, with sparks flying from the welding.

Rhine and others gathered together to watch.

"Rhine!"

Su Ming shouted in confusion.

"Squad leader, you're here!"

Rhine and others heard Su Ming's shout and came over.

"What's going on?"

Su Ming asked in confusion.

"It's like this, the people from the Holy Army said they can repair mechas and wanted to help you fix it."

"No, they can repair it? And they have the materials?"

"Yeah, that's what we thought. But your mecha is so broken that it won't work without legs, so we'll just have to try it out."

Rhine explained to Su Ming.

After listening to Lai Yin's words, Su Ming walked forward to take a closer look. The scene before him made him feel overwhelmed.

The Holy Army's mechanical maintenance technicians welded an iron pillar to the killer to serve as his damaged left leg.

The entire mecha became weird, like a person with prosthetic limbs.

Seeing Su Ming looking at the killer without saying a word, Rhine spoke to comfort him.

"It's free for the squad leader. Don't ask for too much. Just make do with it. At least the mecha can stand."

"alright."

Su Ming took a deep breath to calm his fluctuating emotions.

At this time, he felt a strong sense of hunger in his stomach, so he asked.

"Rhine, is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you right away!"

Rhine immediately ran towards his mecha.

Soon, Rhine took out a large bag of plastic-wrapped dried meat and mineral water and handed it to Su Ming.

Su Ming opened the bottle of mineral water and took a sip, then he opened the dried meat and started eating.

At this time, the members of the Holy Legion who were carrying materials and walking by saw Su Ming eating jerky, and their eyes suddenly widened.

Some people simply didn't look at the road and bumped into their companions walking in front of them.

"Why did you hit me?"

"Excuse me."

Su Ming stopped, looked at the people from the Holy Legion and asked.

"Do you want to eat?"

"Uh, this isn't good, is it?"

Although these members of the Holy Army refused, they subconsciously swallowed.

When Su Ming saw this, he said to Rhine.

"Is Rhine still here?"

"Yes, we still have a lot of supplies."

"Go get some."

"it is good!"

Rhine and others immediately returned to the mecha to get it.

Soon they came over with a pile of dried meat. Su Ming grabbed a handful and threw it to the people of the Holy Army.

"Isn't this not good?"

The members of the Holy Legion all responded flattered.

"It's just some food. There's nothing wrong with it. Try our local specialties."

Su Ming comforted them.

"Then we won't be polite."

They opened the plastic wrapping and shared the food with each other.

"Wow, it's delicious.

"Why does the taste of this meat differ from what we usually eat?"

"Yes, it's super delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life."

The moment they tasted the jerky, they were as excited as little kids.

Rhine and others looked at this scene and felt a little sad.

In the federal military, jerky is one of the most common supplies, and its price is cheaper than nutrition bars.

Su Ming silently finished the jerky in his hand and asked Rhine calmly.

"Rhine, is there any news from the Tsar?"

"Not yet. The people from the Holy Army who went out to search haven't come back yet."

Rhine shook his head and replied.

When Su Ming heard what Rhine said, although he didn't say anything, he became more and more worried.

As time goes by, the hope of finding the Tsar becomes slimmer.

At this time, an old third-generation mecha flew into the hangar from the entrance with a group of beast-fang mechas.

"Su Ming, they seem to be back!"

Rhine said to Su Ming happily.

Su Ming turned his head to look at the leading third-generation mecha, and was also stunned. If you look closely, you can barely see that this third-generation mecha is a Lancer, but this Lancer is the earliest model from three hundred years ago, which can be said to be an antique among antiques.

At this time, the gun rider and his subordinates walked to the parking position and locked it.

Click~
The cockpits opened one by one.

Novlin jumped down wearing the second-generation exoskeleton armor, followed by Bayer and others.

Su Ming took Rhine and others and walked towards Novlin and the others.

At this time, Kaf and others saw Novlin and others coming back, and hurried forward.

"Master Su Ming."

When Novlin saw Su Ming and the others coming over, she greeted them.

"Ms. Novlin, have you found any trace of the Tsar?"

Su Ming didn't beat around the bush with Novelin and the others and asked directly.

After hearing this, Novlin and the others were silent for a moment, and then replied in disappointment.

"I'm sorry, Master Su Ming, we can't find any trace of the Tsar."

"This is troublesome."

"Master Su Ming, listen to me. We have not only searched the nearby starry sky. I have also asked other companions in the Dark Forest Star Sea, and no one has seen the Tsar. Therefore, your mothership may have been sunk by the Imperial Army. You must be mentally prepared for this."

Novlin sighed and said to Su Ming and others.

"This"

When Kraft and others heard the news, they felt somewhat desperate.

Su Ming analyzed it calmly and found that what Novlin said was possible. Although the Tsar retreated at the beginning, it did not mean that it would definitely escape.

After all, after they rushed into the dark forest starry sky, they were still caught up by the imperial army and so many people were killed.

"Although this is just my personal analysis, it is very likely."

Novlin spoke rationally to Rhine and the others.

"We understand, Miss Novlin. Can you lend us a level 4 ship? A transport ship is also fine."

Su Ming exhaled slightly and said to Nofulin.

Novlin heard this and shook her head in response.

"Sorry, we don't have a level 4 ship. The best we have is a level 3 transport ship, and we rely on this ship to survive."

"Level 3 ship? That's it. Without a warp device, it would probably take a thousand years to fly back to the Federation from here, right?"

After hearing this, Rhine said in confusion.

"No, a level 3 ship can't cross the starry sea."

Su Ming was also extremely helpless. He felt that he could not move forward at all.

"I'm sorry, we are really short of money, but there is no other way."

Novlin replied very apologetically.

"any solution?"

Su Ming looked at Novelin with great curiosity.

"Our deputy commander has a level 4 transport ship. I can take you to him and try to borrow the ship. But I can't guarantee that the deputy commander will be willing to lend it to you."

Novlin said to Su Ming.

After hearing this, Su Ming still wanted to take a chance, so he asked.

"That's great, when are we going?"

"Right now, we just happen to be going back to the main base to purchase some supplies."

Nor did Novlin mean to drag her feet.

After Su Ming heard this, he spoke to Kaf and the others.

"Kaf, you all wait here for me. I'm going to go with Miss Novelin."

"You're going alone, is that okay?"

"It's okay, I'll just take the Killer Mech with me."

"All right!"

When Kaf and others heard Su Ming say this, they didn't say anything.

Novlin then turned and spoke to Bayer and the others.

"Go prepare the transport ship and call the brothers."

"it is good!"

Bayer responded quickly.

Soon after.

Su Ming controlled the repaired Killer Mech and followed Novlin's Mech out of the meteorite stronghold and into the outer starry sky.

At this time, a tattered transport ship was floating in outer space.

The entire transport ship is about 5 kilometers long. Not only is the armor layer covered with various patches, but parts of it are also warped.

Su Ming took a deep breath. He used to think that the Fat Dun was bad enough, but he didn't expect there would be something worse than it.

"Let's get on board!"

After saying this, Novlin controlled the mecha and flew towards the boarding entrance of the transport ship.

"it is good!"

Su Ming followed closely behind.

Half an hour later, Su Ming and Novlin placed the mecha and came to the central control room of the transport ship.

The entire central control room is very spacious, and the internal control panel is an old-fashioned straight-line control panel with various mechanical buttons on it.

At this time, Fia, Bayer and others were sitting at the operating table, doing the final check before setting sail.

Soon, yellow prompts popped up on the old electronic screen.

"Warning: No. 2912 hydraulic device failure."

"Warning: Sensor device number K221 is abnormal."

"Sister, everything is ready. We can set sail."

Bayer said to Novlin.

Su Ming looked at the prompt above and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Although he was not from the command system and did not know how to fly a ship, his eyes were not blind and he could still understand the text on the prompts.

There are dozens of fault codes, and Bayer and his team actually said they were ready.

However, Su Ming still resisted the urge to question, after all, he was not the only one on the boat.

"Then let's go!"

Novlin gave the order very straightforwardly.

"okay!"

Bayer and others began to activate the ship's jets.

The entire ship suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Noticing that Su Ming didn’t look very well, Novlin comforted him.

"Don't worry, although this transport ship is a bit old, it will be able to sail without any problems."

"it is good."

"Mr. Su Ming, you can take a short rest. We need to sail for more than seven hours before we can reach our destination."

"It's okay, I'll just sit here and watch."

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

He still trusts Novlin and others, but he is not impressed by their equipment.

"All right!"

Novlin nodded slightly in response.

Seven hours later.

In the dark forest and sea of ​​stars.

A dilapidated level 3 transport ship shuttled through the gray nebula.

The moment the ship emerged from the gray nebula, it suddenly entered a large meteorite area.

In the central control room, Su Ming and Novlin stood side by side on the observation deck, looking at the meteorites passing by in the starry sky.

Su Ming asked with great interest.

"Is your army's headquarters also in the meteorite area?"

"Yes, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. We don't have the ability to build a complete base. We can only rely on natural meteorites to build a habitat."

"It's good. The meteorite area has complex terrain, which is very suitable for hiding."

"I also think so."

Novlin nodded slightly in response.

At this time, Su Ming saw several patrolling beast-fang mechas flying past, and these beast-fang mechas also waved at the transport ship.

"We are almost there. The stronghold is just ahead."

Novlin said to Su Ming.

"Ok!"

Su Ming looked at it quietly.

A moment later, a meteorite with a diameter of more than 800 kilometers came into view in the distant starry sky.

Holes were dug out on the surface of this giant meteorite, and they were reinforced with metal.

The huge meteorite is like a honeycomb.

At a glance, you can see several old level 3 transport ships and dozens of mechas entering.

When Novlin saw this scene, a look of doubt appeared on her fair face.

"what happened?"

Su Ming noticed the abnormality and asked.

"It's okay, I just think there are too many people returning to the base today."

Novlin replied, shaking her head.

"Oh."

Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

Half an hour later, the level 3 transport ship successfully entered the dock in the meteorite stronghold.

Soon Exit 1 opened.

Novlin brought Su Ming and others down from the transport ship.

Su Ming turned his head and looked around. Compared with the dock of Novelyn and his crew, the dock here was larger in scale and had relatively complete equipment. At least the main body was covered with metal frames.

At the same time, the entire dock was very busy, with more than a dozen level 3 transport ships docked and the Holy Legion personnel returning everywhere.

"Novelyn!"

At this time, a joyful voice was heard.

Su Ming turned his head and saw a woman with a curvy figure and a square face wearing a gray windbreaker, walking towards him with several men.

"Kaizhen, you are here at the base too?"

Novlin replied quite unexpectedly.

"Of course I'm back. Deputy Commander Renis is going to call for a commendation meeting later, so we came here specially."

Kaizhen explained to Novlin.

"A commendation meeting? Who to commend? Did something serious happen?"

Novlin replied very unexpectedly.

"Don't you know? Our stronghold has made a great contribution and created a historic feat!"

"Don't know? What feat?"

Novlin replied in confusion, and then she suddenly realized that she might have been out looking for the Tsar during this period, so she didn't receive any notification.

"Hey, did you hear about the destruction of the Heart of the Skybase?"

"I know that, what's wrong?"

"Tukler from the 78th Regiment participated in this operation. He assisted the federal forces in accomplishing this feat. You know, this is the greatest achievement in the history of our stronghold."

Kaizhen explained to Novlin.

"That's right."

Novlin and others were also very surprised when they heard this.

Su Ming was also very surprised. He didn't expect that the destruction of the Heart of Skybase was related to the Holy Army?

"I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you guys for now."

Kaizhen then said goodbye to Novelin.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

Novlin nodded in response.

"See you later."

After Kaizhen finished speaking, she left with her subordinates.

At this time, Baidon couldn't help but ask Su Ming.

"Master Su Ming, did we really help you destroy the Heart of the Skybase?"

"I'm not sure about this, but it should be true."

Su Ming thought for a moment and replied.

Although they had launched a surprise attack on the Heart of Space alone, it was clear that Vickers and his men had intelligence support.

Not only did they know the defenses of the Heart of the Sky Base very well, but they also prepared the route to the Dark Forest in advance.

All these signs indicate one thing: someone is helping them.

As the local boss of this area, the Holy Army is capable of obtaining this intelligence.

"Oh my god, the 78th Regiment's Tukler is about to take off!"

Bayer was very surprised when he heard Su Ming's answer.

"Stop discussing it, Bile."

Novlin said to Bayer.

"it is good."

When Bayer heard Novlin speak, he fell silent.

At this time, Novlin said to Su Ming.

"Master Su Ming, let's go buy some things first, and then we'll go find Deputy Commander Renis to borrow a boat later."

"No problem, don't worry."

Although Su Ming was anxious to return to the Federation, he couldn't afford to wait any longer.

"it is good!"

Novlin then took Su Ming and others towards the nearby elevator No. 3.

Before long, they took Elevator No. 3 and arrived at the surface of the upper cave.

The cave inside this stronghold is even larger, with a diameter of fifty kilometers.

This cave is filled with all kinds of crooked iron houses and processing plants.

The entire area is an enlarged version of the Noflin stronghold.

However, this area is much more prosperous than the Novelyn area. There are open-air stalls everywhere, selling all kinds of things.

"Black Shell motor oil, fresh out of the oven!"

Many vendors were shouting their wares there.

Su Ming looked at this scene and asked Novelin curiously.

“Do you have vendors here?”

"Yes, although we are all from the same legion, we can't all eat from the same pot! If we do that, there will be no vitality. We also encourage business operations within the legion, but the prices cannot be too high."

Novlin explained to Su Ming.

“This model is good.”

Su Ming praised sincerely.

"Ah."

Novlin then took Su Ming forward.

Soon they came to an open-air stall, on which were placed bags of synthetic powder. The person in charge of the stall was a skinny old man with yellow teeth. When he saw Novelyn, he asked enthusiastically.

"Lord Novlin, you are here to do some shopping."

"How much is synthetic powder now, Master Kun'ou."

Novlin asked politely, nodding slightly.

"It's still divided into three grades. The better ones are 500 Dark Star Coins per ton, the medium ones are 400 Dark Star Coins, and the lower ones are 100 Dark Star Coins."

Kun'ou made an offer directly to Novlin.

Bayer and others looked at Novelin.

Novlin said after a moment's hesitation.

"Medium, give us 200 tons."

"it is good!"

Kunou immediately nodded in response.

At this time, Fia handed a backpack to Novelin.

Novlin opened her backpack, pulled out stacks of crumpled banknotes, and handed them to Uncle Kun'ou.

After Uncle Kun'ou took them, he counted them one by one.

Novlin waited quietly, and soon Uncle Kun'ou finished calculating the money and said with a smile.

"Money is right."

"Bayer, you and Master Ou Kun will be responsible for the handover and deliver the synthetic powder to the transport ship."

Novlin immediately arranged it.

"it is good!"

Bayer nodded immediately.

"Let's go and buy some stuff over there."

Novlin then took Su Ming and Fia and walked forward along the road.

Su Ming followed Novelin quietly.

A moment later, they came to a store. This store was obviously much more upscale than those street stalls, and there was a special freezer at the door.

There are rows of meat cuts in the freezer.

"Kestin!"

Novlin shouted.

"Here you are! Isn't this Novelin? What day brought you here today?"

A middle-aged man with a strong physique and a beard walked out with a cheap synthetic cigarette in his mouth.

"I want to buy some good meat."

Novlin said with a hint of a smile.

"No problem. It's rare that you come to purchase. I'll give you the lowest price. How much do you want to buy?"

Katestin said very righteously.

"I want to buy 1000 kilograms."

Novlin said after a moment's hesitation.

Fia on the side was stunned for a moment, and looked at Novelin in surprise. She wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.

"Why buy so much? Have you made a fortune recently?"

Kate was also surprised.

"Kastin, can I discuss something with you?"

"You said."

“I want to pay with this.”

Novlin picked up a box and handed it to Kesten.

Kate took it and opened the box, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Su Ming glanced at it sideways. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he still saw a little bit. It seemed that there was an exquisite necklace in the box.

He immediately realized that Novlin might have come here specifically to buy meat to treat him.

Thinking of this, Su Ming suddenly felt very embarrassed and quickly spoke.

"Miss Novelin, what are you doing?"

"It's okay, Mr. Su Ming."

"That can't be done. Mr. Kestin, can we use federal currency here?"

Su Ming immediately asked.

"Federal currency?"

When Kestin heard Su Ming's words, he was also stunned.

Novlin quickly explained to Kestin.

"It's like this, my friend does business in the Lost Land, so he holds federal currency."

"Oh, I see. That's what I was saying! No one has used Federation currency to pay for decades, but it's the same thing! Dark Star Coins and Federation Coins are the same, the exchange rate is one to one, and I accept both."

After listening to Novelin's words, Kestin said with a smile.

In fact, whether it is the Federation, the Dark Star Empire, or the Kingdom of Apocalypse, they all store a large amount of rare metals as collateral in the holy land of Saint Jox to ensure the value of their own currency.

Therefore, the currencies of the three forces have all been recognized by the Holy Land, the Star of Saint Jox, and the exchange rates are all 1 to 1.

"It works, that's great, do you think it's enough?"

Su Ming then took out his wallet, pulled out a federal currency with a face value of 10,000 yuan, handed it to Kestin and asked.

Kestin took the money Su Ming handed over and was stunned for a moment.

"Ten thousand yuan in denomination?"

Novlin and Fia were also stunned and looked at Su Ming in disbelief.

Especially when he saw the large stack of money in the wallet in his hand, his expression became very unnatural.

"Any questions?"

Su Ming asked calmly.

"Wait, let me see! This is the first time I've seen this denomination. I wonder if it's real or fake?"

Kate kept looking at the banknote, fearing that it was fake.

Su Ming looked at this scene with a strange expression on his face.

After looking for a long time, Katestin was still worried and started shouting.

"Laoji, come here quickly!"

Immediately, shop owners from all around came over.

"What's the matter? Kate."

"Come here and help me check if this banknote is real or fake?"

Katestin said to everyone.

"Oh my god, a 10,000 yuan denomination? Who is that rich?"

"Let me see, it's strange!"

“It’s still federal currency!”

The shop owners gathered together to help study the banknote.

Su Ming waited helplessly. He didn't expect that a piece of paper money would attract so many people to study it.

Novlin said to Su Ming apologetically.

"I'm sorry, no one here has ever used such a large denomination of banknotes in transactions."

"fine."

Su Ming forced a smile and replied.

Fortunately, after studying the issue, these shop owners gave unanimous answers.

"Really? There are all kinds of anti-counterfeiting marks."

Katestin then said with a smile on her face.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay. Is this money enough?"

"If you want regular meat, it's definitely enough, but if you want something better, it's still a little short."

"If it's good, money is not a problem."

Su Ming replied very calmly.

Fia, who was standing by, heard Su Ming's words and looked at him with admiration in her eyes.

"Master Su Ming, this is not good. It's costing you so much money?"

Novlin said with some regret.

"Nothing bad."

Su Ming waved his hand and said.

“Novelyn, don’t be polite to him. When did you find such a rich and handsome boyfriend? You have good taste!”

Kate said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend."

Novlin was also startled and glanced back at Su Ming.

Only then did she notice that Su Ming was indeed very handsome and had an outstanding temperament.

"Okay, I won't say any more. Come with me. I'll take you to the breeding farm."

Kate said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Su Ming and Novlin nodded in response.

The three of them then followed Kestin out of the store and headed towards the farm.

About twenty minutes later, Kestin brought Su Ming and the other person to a large breeding farm built with simple iron sheets.

Before entering the gate, Su Ming smelled a strong stench.

"Come in with me. I don't bring ordinary people here."

As Kestin spoke, he led the three people into the farm.

As you enter the farm, you will see huge iron cages. Inside these cages are creatures that are 3 meters tall, covered with rough gray spiky hair, have long pig noses, red eyes, and two fangs protruding from their mouths.

"Black-hearted pig!"

Su Ming said with a look of astonishment when he saw these creatures.

"What a black-hearted pig, this is a pig-like beast, this is a good thing."

Kate said unhappily.

"No, is this the kind of meat you sold us? If you eat too much of this, people will go crazy."

Su Ming asked with a dark face.

This kind of black-hearted pig can also be found in the Federation. The inferior meat circulating in the federal market is produced by this kind of creature.

If you eat too much of this kind of meat, you will become very manic and even go crazy. Of course, there are medicines that can treat it, but they are very expensive.

The meat that Su Ming and his companions ate was from normal domestic pigs. Although they were not fed natural feed, they did not have these defects.

"I know that the body structure of this pig beast is very special. They eat everything, and even poison can't kill them. They will concentrate all the toxins in their heads and then go crazy! Therefore, the crazier they are, the better the meat!"

Kestin explained to Su Ming.

"You know, you still sell it to us?"

Su Ming looked at Kesting puzzledly and said.

"What are you afraid of? This kind of meat will only have side effects if you eat a certain amount. Who is so extravagant as to eat it every day? You can't even eat that much! And don't worry, this is not what I'm selling to you."

Kestin explained to Su Ming.

"Oh, so what are you selling us?"

After hearing what Kestin said, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the one I'm selling you!"

Kestin pointed to a pig beast that was kept alone not far away.

Next to the pig beast, there is a large feed processing equipment.

At this time, a worker operated a mechanical forklift, picked up a five-meter-long moth corpse, and threw it into the feed processing equipment.

Rumble!
Along with the roaring sound of the processing equipment, piles of insect powder flowed out.

One by one, the workers poured the insect powder into the feeding trough of the pig beast.

The pig beast was eating the insect powder frantically.

“You feed it insect meal?”

The corners of Su Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

"Yes, don't underestimate this insect powder, it's high in protein! Let me tell you something unpleasant, if you didn't give me enough money and Novelyn's face, I wouldn't sell you such a good thing."

Kestin said to Su Ming.

"What do you feed the other pig beasts?"

Su Ming keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"They are all fed with corpse powder."

Kestin pointed directly at the bags of corpse powder in the corner.

"Corpse powder? What is that?"

Su Ming asked with a frown on his face.

"Corpse powder is made from the bodies of dead monsters and humans. It is also called low-quality synthetic powder."

"You feed them corpse powder?"

"Yeah, I've always fed them this way. Is there any problem? Corpse powder is edible. It's just that if you're unlucky, there will be some extra rewards."

Katelin said as usual.

When Su Ming heard this, his face turned as black as charcoal. He had seen many storms and waves, but his stomach instinctively churned.

From Kestin's words, Su Ming finally understood how bad the bottom of the Dark Star Empire was.

All the members of the Holy Army have to eat corpse powder, not to mention the ordinary people of the empire, who are even worse than animals.

"Ahem, Mr. Kestin, do you sell vegetables here?"

Su Ming coughed and asked. He really couldn't eat this thing.

When Kesting heard Su Ming's words, his eyes widened and he looked at him as if he was a lunatic. Then he said to Novelin
"Lord Novlin, your friend is crazy. He actually wants to eat green vegetables, something that even the empire masters cannot eat. How can I get it? Have you ever eaten it? I have never eaten a single bite in my life."

"I haven't eaten either."

Novlin also spoke with a complicated expression.

When Su Ming heard this, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

"Forget it if you don't have one. Let's just take this pig."

"Don't worry about that. Brother, have you ever really eaten green vegetables? What do they taste like?"

Kate asked curiously.

“It doesn’t have any special smell, it’s just a little bit more refreshing.”

Su Ming explained helplessly.

"Amazing! It seems that you are really a big shot. But that's normal. I should know that you are not an ordinary person when you can easily take out one million federal coins."

Kestin gave Su Ming a thumbs up.

Novlin opened her mouth and gave instructions upon seeing this.

"Mr. Kestin, please do not mention Lord Su Ming's affairs to others too much, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

"Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense. I'll have someone take this pig away and kill it now, and I'll send the meat to you once it's cut up."

Kestin replied to Novelin.

"Thank you for your help. We'll be leaving first!"

Novlin then took Su Ming and Fia away.

Soon they left the farm and walked along the dirty road.

Fia couldn't help but ask.

"Master Su Ming, is the Federation really that good? Don't you even eat pork? And do you have vegetables?"

"It's not that exaggerated, but if the conditions are better, I really don't eat pork. As for vegetables, I only eat them occasionally."

Su Ming explained tactfully.

"Great! It would be great if we were also born in the Federation!"

Fia said with great envy.

Su Ming heard this and said after some hesitation.

"Since you dislike the Dark Star Empire so much, why don't you leave?"

Novlin sighed and explained to Su Ming.

"We want to leave, but it's not that easy. We have families behind us. What will happen to them if we leave? And where can we go if we leave the Dark Star Empire? The situation in the neutral countries is not much better. We are also in danger. As for the Federation, you can't just go in if you want to."

"Too."

After listening to Nofulin's words, Su Ming replied with a sigh.

"And if we all leave, then our compatriots will have even less hope and will have to live in darkness, so we can only fight hard."

"you're right."

"Let's not talk about these heavy topics. I'll take you to see Deputy Commander Renis."

Novlin adjusted her attitude and said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Su Ming nodded.

Novlin then led Su Ming towards the center.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the door of a dilapidated three-story metal building in the center.

The gate of this metal building is guarded by a team of people wearing exoskeleton armor.

"Captain DeBisa."

Novlin walked forward and greeted the captain of the guard.

"Novelin, why are you here? What's the matter?"

A burly man with a rough face replied unexpectedly.

"I'm here to see Deputy Commander Renis. Can you help me inform him? Just tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

Novlin requested politely.

"Please wait a moment. I will go and inform you."

Captain DeBisa then hurried in.

Su Ming, Novelin and others waited quietly.

About five minutes later, Captain DeBisa came out in a hurry and said to Novelin.

"Novelin, Commander Renis said that he is a little busy right now, and he will hold a commendation meeting soon. If it is not urgent, I will ask you to come to him after the meeting."

After hearing this, Su Ming nodded slightly to Novelin, indicating that he could look for Deputy Commander Renis later.

Novlin then asked DeBisa.

"Captain Debiza, we will come back to see Lord Renis later. Also, where will the commendation meeting be held?"

"It's in the central square. Many group leaders are here this time, so it should be very lively."

DeBisa replied to Novlin.

"Okay, let's go first."

Novlin then took Su Ming and the other person away and walked towards the central square.

Not long after, Su Ming and the other two arrived at the central square area.

A simple square podium was built in the center of the square area.

Below and on both sides of the podium, there were long metal chairs filled with people.

"Wow, there are so many people. It's been a long time since it's been so lively."

Feiya said excitedly.

"Let's find a seat."

Novlin took the two of them and found an empty chair to sit down.

At this time, Su Ming heard the people from the Holy Legion next to him talking excitedly.

"Captain Tukler is really awesome. I didn't expect him to accomplish such a big thing without making a fuss. He really makes us proud."

"Indeed, I used to think that guy was full of nonsense, but it seems I was just superficial."

"I also feel that way."

"By the way, Deputy Commander Renis's health has been getting worse recently, and I heard that he will retire soon. You said that Tukler has accomplished such a great thing, so the position of deputy commander will definitely belong to him in the future, right?"

"Definitely, the election that comes back will be won."

Su Ming listened to the discussions of the crowd and was a little curious about this Tukler. Who on earth was he?
At this moment, the noisy scene suddenly became quiet.

Su Ming raised his head and looked over, only to see a hunchbacked, white-haired, and dark-spotted old man walking up to the square podium in the center of the square.

He picked up the microphone and spoke in a deep voice.

"Everyone, today is a very special day. Our Sacred Legion has been silent for so many years, and finally did something that can be recorded in history! Now, I would like to invite the 78th Regiment Leader Tukler to come on stage and share the ins and outs of this incident and his experience. I hope everyone can learn from him!"

clap clap!

Everyone burst into warm applause.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing second-generation exoskeleton armor, with a big nose, a full beard, shiny hair, and a proud expression, walked up to the podium with powerful steps.

Legion Commander Reinis then handed the microphone to Tukler.

Tukler took the microphone and spoke triumphantly to the crowd.

"Hello everyone, now let me tell you how I cooperate with the operation."

Su Ming observed the man curiously and listened to his speech with great interest.

He didn't expect to see their contact here.

You know, this person played an indispensable role in their ability to attack.

At this time, Tukler on the stage was also giving a passionate speech.

"Listen to me, everyone. Actually, the reason why this thing was successful was not achieved overnight. It was the result of my long-term planning and painstaking efforts! At first, I met the commander of the Thirteenth Army of the Federation by chance on the Federation's Star Forum. We had a great conversation and appreciated each other! At that time, I had the idea of ​​attacking the Heart of the Space Base."

"I didn't expect that the opportunity would come so quickly, and the Thirteenth Legion entered the empire so quickly. So I spent a lot of effort and finally contacted the leader of the Thirteenth Legion. After that, I waited hard at the edge of the Dark Forest Star Sea, and finally waited for them. For this reason, I personally led them into the Dark Forest Star Sea and took them to avoid various dangerous creatures in the star sea."

Tukler gave an impassioned speech.

The more Su Ming listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Strange."

Novlin and Fia were also slightly startled, and turned to look at Su Ming and said.

"what happened?"

"He's wrong. We did receive intelligence support. But no one led us. We did it independently."

Su Ming said in a deep voice.

"you sure?"

Fia asked, her eyes brightening.

You have to know that all the leaders are participating in the election for the position of deputy leader. So far, Novelyn's reputation and word of mouth have been among the best, but I didn't expect this guy to achieve such a great result. Now that he has found that the other party has a problem, how can he let him go.

"determine."

Su Ming replied with certainty.

When Fia heard this, she stood up on the chair and shouted loudly.

"you are lying!"
