Chapter 355 Return

Chapter 355 Return (Five in One)

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Hocas was also very surprised to see Su Ming's strong reaction.

"That's our ship, where is it docked?"

Su Ming asked excitedly.

"I remember it was docked at Area G of the Interstellar Airport, but it seems they are going to return today. I wonder if they have left?"

Hocas wasn't so sure.

"Novlin, I have to find the Tsar!"

Su Ming said to Nofulin anxiously.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Novlin replied without any hesitation.

Just as the two were about to leave, Hocas hurriedly called them to stop.

"You guys wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

Novlin looked at Hocas and asked.

"If you keep looking for it, the flowers will be cold. Drive my BMW and park it in parking space number 4522 in the underground parking lot."

Hocas took out a bunch of keys and threw them to Novlin and others.

"Thanks!"

Novlin took the key and immediately ran towards the elevator with Su Ming.

Not long after, Novlin drove a green jeep carrying Su Ming out of the underground passage and drove towards Area G of the interstellar airport at a very fast speed.

Su Ming looked out the car window at the ships docked in the distance, searching for the Tsar.

His heart was in his throat. If they could catch up with the Tsar, they would be able to return to the Federation smoothly.

"Master Su Ming, don't worry. The Tsar is definitely not gone yet."

Seeing how nervous Su Ming was, Novlin spoke to comfort him.

"hope so!"

Su Ming took a deep breath and replied.

Novlin silently stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the jeep continued to soar.

More than half an hour later, Novlin drove to Area G of the Interstellar Airport.

At this time, Su Ming saw the Tsar docked at the edge of the sky from afar, and spoke with great joy.

"Look! The Tsar!"

Novlin looked over as Su Ming reminded her, and a look of shock appeared on her face.

"What a huge ship!"

"The Tsar is a Level 5 mothership, so it's relatively large. Drive over there and I'll try to contact them."

Su Ming quickly raised his bracelet and entered the command to try to connect to the Tsar.

As a result, an error message popped up on the bracelet.

"Communication cannot be connected, error code X233!"

Su Ming was also slightly stunned when he saw the error code.

"What's wrong? Can't get in touch? Is the distance too far?"

Novlin asked when she saw this.

"It's not a distance problem. Oops, it's the mechanical octopus. The signal is blocked."

Su Ming said with a slightly changed expression.

The hull of the Tsar is covered with mechanical octopuses that block all scans and signals, and only special equipment can connect to it.

"Oh no Su Ming, it looks like the Tsar is about to set sail."

Novlin shouted with a sudden change of expression.

When Su Ming heard Novlin's words, he was startled and immediately raised his head to look over there.

I saw the Tsar in the distance was lit up with blue light all over, which obviously meant the anti-gravity system was activated.

"Novelin, drive over there quickly, get in front of the ship!"

Su Ming's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he immediately said to Nofulin.

"it is good!"

Novlin stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

The engine of the entire jeep made a roaring sound, and the needle on the dashboard soared directly to 260KM/H.

On the training ground of Tsar No. 3.

Many soldiers sat on the ground silently, each with a heavy expression and sadness in their eyes.

Xiun, Hegas and Timmy stood on the observation deck, looking at their soldiers with very complicated expressions.

"Alas~ Although we successfully completed the mission of attacking the Heart of the Skybase this time, we also paid an extremely heavy price!"

Timmy said with a heavy heart.

"The worst thing is that the 2000 people responsible for the surprise attack were all wiped out, including Kaf and Su Ming."

Xiuen said in a hoarse voice.

"Damn it! It's such a pity, especially for Su Ming! He was so powerful, killed so many imperial generals, and was about to rise! He had a great chance to become the most dazzling new star in the Federation in the future, but he died there!"

Hegaz said through gritted teeth.

"You're right. Su Ming's death is such a pity."

Timmy sighed deeply.

Su Ming’s death is definitely a huge loss to the Federation, but the reality of war is so cruel.

The Federation has produced many talented people over the years, but many of them died on the battlefield before they could grow up.

Hegas felt a tightness in his chest and was very aggrieved, but he had no way to vent.

Xiuen and Timmy also fell silent, looking very melancholy.

Inside the central control room of the Tsar.

Second Lieutenant Zhou Yuelin kept reporting on the status of the Tsar.

"Fusion Power Unit No. 1 is operating well!"

"Checking the ship's lines."

Major General Vickers held his chin with one hand, sat quietly in the command chair, listening to Zhou Yuelin's report.

At this time, Colonel Zhou Quan seemed to be hesitant to speak, and asked Major General Vickers.

"General, are we really going back to the Federation?"

"Well, I know what you want to say, but we have to learn to accept reality."

Vickers replied in a deep voice
In fact, after Vickers and his men escaped into the Dark Forest Star Sea and got rid of the enemy, they did not leave immediately. Instead, they lurked in the Dark Forest Star Sea, waiting for the surprise attack.

However, after waiting for several days, they did not see Su Ming and his party. Instead, they encountered a large number of imperial troops searching for them.

Seeing that the risk of exposure was getting higher and higher, Major General Vickers had no choice but to give the order to leave the Dark Forest.

Of course, Major General Vickers and his men did not know that those searching personnel were not imperial soldiers at all but Holy Army.

It’s just that the mechas they use are of the same style.

"General, you are right."

Colonel Zhou Quan replied dejectedly.

"Everyone, cheer up. The journey back home is long and difficult, so don't take it lightly."

Major General Vickers reminded everyone seriously.

"Yes!"

Colonel Zhou Quan and others nodded heavily in response.

At the interstellar airport, Novlin drove a jeep along the side of the Tsar and sped towards the bow.

At this time, the blue light on the Tsar mothership became brighter and brighter, and the entire huge ship began to rise slowly like a feather.

Novlin became anxious when she saw this scene, and she said to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, the ship has set sail, what should we do?"

When Su Ming saw this scene, his brows immediately frowned. Why set sail at this time instead of earlier or later?

How could he be willing to give up like this?

"Quick, give me the gun!"

Su Ming decisively picked up the transparent protective helmet on the co-pilot seat and put it on, then said to Novelin.

Novlin immediately took out the portable beam gun from her waist and handed it to Su Ming, asking in confusion.

"what are you up to?"

"Put on a protective helmet!"

Su Ming did not answer Novelin, but spoke to Novelin.

"it is good!"

Novlin put on the helmet immediately.

Su Ming then lowered the car window partially, and a strong air pressure immediately rolled in.

He raised the beam gun in his hand and shot directly at the Tsar!
Whoosh~
Beams of light shot towards the Tsar.

Novlin was dumbfounded when she saw this scene. Su Ming was actually attacking the Tsar.

"Is this okay?"

"It's fine!"

Su Ming couldn't care about so many things now. He had to attract the attention of the Tsar immediately, otherwise it would be all over!
As a result, he fired ten shots in a row, hitting the armor layer of the Tsar, but it had no effect at all, just like tickling.

The Tsar continued to climb in altitude, but Novlin's beam gun was too underpowered.

"No, it doesn't seem to work!"

Novlin was also a little anxious. If the Tsar climbed higher, she would really not be able to catch up.

"I know, let me think about it!"

Su Ming looked at the Tsar as it continued to rise in altitude, and tried his best to suppress his annoyance and calm himself down.

At this moment, he keenly noticed a mechanical octopus attached to the Tsar ship, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
The Tsar was thick-skinned and the beam gun was not powerful enough to trigger the sensor. But those mechanical octopuses were the latest products of the Xiguang Laboratory, with such high technological content, they must be very sensitive.

Su Ming said decisively to Nofulin.

"Quick, speed up and catch up!"

Novlin immediately disabled the car's safety device and stepped on the accelerator to speed forward.

Su Ming raised the beam gun in his hand and quickly aimed at the mechanical octopus head attached to the Tsar. He took a deep breath. He only had one chance.

Then Su Ming's pupils shrank, and then he pulled the trigger!

call out!
A beam of light shot out and hit the sucked mechanical octopus.

At this time, in the central control room of the Tsar.

A red warning box suddenly popped up on the operation screen.

"Warning: Mechanical octopus No. 28192 was attacked by an unknown beam, causing some damage."

After seeing the prompt, Zhou Yuelin was dumbfounded. She reported in astonishment.

"General, are we under attack?"

"what?"

Colonel Zhou Quan and others were stunned.

Although the Lost Land is a chaotic and disorderly area, this area also has rules. Any force that causes trouble here will not have a good end, not even the Dark Star Empire.

There is also the Federation here, and there are hidden forces there. The area where the Tsar is docked is their own area of influence. Attacking them here is just courting death, isn't it?
"Look who attacked us."

Vickers replied with a frown on his face.

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Lieutenant Zhou Yuelin immediately entered the command and turned on the optical device to capture the image.

Swish!
An image emerged, in which a jeep could be seen chasing the Tsar, emitting beams of light from time to time.

Zhou Yuelin immediately enlarged the image of the jeep, and suddenly Su Ming's face came into everyone's sight.

"Commander Su Ming!"

Zhou Yuelin shouted out loud.

"He's not dead?"

"No way? Is this true?"

"It's really Commander Su Ming!"

Colonel Zhou Quan and others had an expression of disbelief on their faces, and they all came forward to take a closer look.

When Major General Vickers heard that Su Ming was not dead, he was stunned and hurried forward to check.

"It's really this guy. He's not dead yet, and he's even chased us here. Quick, abort the voyage, broadcast a notice to all members, and notify the control tower in the Lost Land, telling them that we're temporarily suspending the voyage! Descend now to welcome our hero back."

"Yes! General!"

Zhou Yuelin and others cheered excitedly.

At this time, the Tsar's broadcast sounded.

"Dear brothers and sisters, I have a message for you. Due to a special emergency, the Tsar has temporarily stopped sailing and will land again."

In the training ground.

Many soldiers were listening to the broadcast, each with a confused look on their face, and were discussing the matter.

"What happened?"

"I don't know. The voyage was aborted for no apparent reason."

Hegarth turned and said to Huynh and Timmy.

“Something seems wrong!”

"Let's go to the observatory and take a look!"

Xiu En said to the two of them very decisively.

"it is good!"

Hegarth and Timmy responded immediately.

They immediately rushed to the observation deck, and in fact they were not the only ones who had this idea.

Lieutenant Colonel Aragon, Major Colifa, Ye Hai and others also walked towards the observation deck.

Soon a large group of them rushed to the observation deck and looked out.

"Look, there's a jeep chasing us down there, but it's too far away to see clearly."

Korifah said in amazement.

"Quick, activate the observatory's optical device and capture the image and enlarge it."

Xiuen spoke immediately.

"I come!"

Timmy then walked over to the side of the overlook to operate it.

Soon the jeep was projected in front of Xiuen and others, and everyone clearly saw Su Ming's head popping out of the jeep.

"Oh my god! Su Ming!"

Korif shouted in surprise.

"Fuck, this kid isn't dead!"

Hegas's head suddenly started buzzing, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Great, he's still alive."

Xiuen and the others were all extremely happy.

Although they sacrificed so many people, it would be a great joy if even one of them came back alive.

At this time at the interstellar airport.

Su Ming looked at the Tsar as it continued to rise in altitude, and he also felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

He reluctantly accepted the reality, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.

"Ugh!"

Seeing Su Ming sighing there, Novelin felt it was a pity. It was right in front of him, but in the end he failed.

However, at this moment, the Tsar suddenly stopped rising and instead slowly descended.

When Novlin saw this scene, her mouth opened slightly and she shouted to Su Ming excitedly.

"Su Ming, the Tsar has stopped climbing and is descending."

When Su Ming heard this, he raised his head and looked over.

He looked at the descending Tsar, smiled, and said to Novlin.

"Okay, drive the car to the front entrance No. 1."

"it is good!"

Novlin responded immediately.

Soon after, the Tsar landed back on the berth.

Novlin drove the jeep to the Tsar No. 1 boarding entrance.

Su Ming said to Nofulin.

"Wait here for me."

"Ok."

Novlin nodded slightly in response.

Su Ming then opened the car door and walked out.

At this time, the Tsar's boarding entrance opened and a metal staircase extended out.

Major General Vickers and his men, dressed in exoskeleton armor, walked down from the Tsar.

Su Ming was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Major General Vickers to come down in person. He immediately went up to him, saluted and greeted him.

"General Vickers!"

Major General Vickers also stretched out his hand very happily, patted Su Ming's shoulder heavily, and praised him sincerely.

"Good job, it's good to be alive, welcome home!"

"Thank you, General, but I'm not the only one who survived."

Hearing this, Su Ming smiled and said to Major General Vickers.

"Anyone else?"

Vickers was also startled and turned his head to look around.

"Yes, Kafu is fine, and more than 800 people from our two surprise attack teams are still alive."

Su Ming said to Major General Vickers.

When Vickers heard this, he burst into laughter.

"Good, good, great! Where are they?"

"They were all on the Holy Army's transport ship. We fled into the Dark Forest Star Sea and ran into the Holy Army by chance. Later, we followed them to the Lost Land."

Su Ming briefly explained it to Vickers.

"Quick, bring them all back immediately."

Vickers said to Su Ming.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Su Ming nodded in response.

Not long after, Su Ming followed the transport ship that Novlin returned to and notified Kaf and others to move.

Then, with the help of Novlin, they successfully transferred all the mechas back to the Tsar.

Inside the Tsar's hangar.

A large number of soldiers gathered here. Aragon, Xiuen and others stood at the front, waiting for Su Ming and others to get off the plane.

At this time, Su Ming and others opened the cockpit and jumped off the mecha one after another.

Aragorn, Xiuen, Hegas and others came forward excitedly and hugged Su Ming, Kaf and others excitedly.

"Haha! I knew you wouldn't die that easily!"

Hegas then punched Su Ming in the chest and said.

"Ahem, be gentle! Don't let me die at your hands before I die at the hands of the Imperial Army."

Su Ming replied jokingly.

"Go away, are you that fragile?"

Hegarth cursed with a smile.

"Ha ha!"

Ye Hai and others burst into laughter.

At this time, Novlin and others were standing in the distance, looking at Xiuen and others, as well as the many brand-new mechas parked in the huge hangar. Everyone's expression became very restrained, as if they were like bumpkins coming into the city, and everything seemed out of place.

"Wow, the federal troops are well equipped."

"Compared to them, we feel like beggars."

At this time, after Su Ming finished talking to Xiu En, he noticed Noflin and others.

He then raised his hands, clapped them, and shouted loudly.

"Everyone be quiet!"

Kaf and the others were slightly startled, and they all stopped and looked at Su Ming.

"I'd like to ask everyone for a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"Give me all your cash and valuables, even if I'm borrowing them from you!"

Su Ming shouted to everyone.

"Su Ming, what are you doing?"

Kaf asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's to repay the favor."

Su Ming smiled and replied.

Kraft and others reacted immediately and started shouting.

"Quick, take out all the cash and valuables!"

"I'll go find a sack!"

Rhine immediately ran towards the logistics staff not far away.

Su Ming took out his wallet and pulled out all the cash in the amount of 10,000 yuan.

Kraft and others also took out all their cash.

Xiu En and others also took out money without hesitation.

Hegas even took off the watch on his wrist and said.

"I spent several million on this watch, so it's very valuable!"

"I have a necklace here." Elu and others took off their jewelry.

"Here comes the sack, throw it in!"

Rhine rushed over with the bag.

Everyone threw their money and things into the sack.

In a blink of an eye, the whole sack was filled.

Su Ming said as he looked at the supportive crowd.

"Remember how much money you have and come back to me for reimbursement!"

"What are you talking about! It's as if you're the only one who was rescued."

Kraft replied unhappily.

"That's right, squad leader. I always let you rush to the front in battle. Now when it comes to paying, I can't let you bear it alone!"

Rhine and others echoed.

"We are a legion. They saved you, which means they saved us. You don't have to pay back the money."

Xiuen and others also spoke up.

Su Ming looked at everyone and said with a bright smile.

"Okay! Then I won't be polite to you."

"That's right, don't be so fussy like a woman."

Hegarth smiled back.

Su Ming nodded, then dragged the sack towards Noflin and the others.

He walked up to Novlin and the others, handed over the sack full of money and things and said.

"This is for you!"

When Novlin saw this, she was also slightly startled, then she reacted and replied.

"No, we can't have it."

"This is a small token of our appreciation. Don't be polite to us. Without your help, we would have died in the dark forest."

Su Ming persuaded Novelin.

"That won't work either. We didn't save you for reward."

Novlin quickly shook her head and refused.

"Yes, elder sister is right."

Fia and others also echoed.

Although they were very tempted when they saw the bag of money and they were in urgent need of the money, they had their own beliefs.

"Novelin, don't be polite with us. Just consider it as our donation to the Holy Army. You really need the money in your current situation."

Su Ming stuffed the sack into Novelin's hands without giving any explanation.

In fact, even if we put aside the fact that Novlin and others rescued them, Su Ming was willing to fund the Holy Army, because funding them was equivalent to going against the Imperial Army.

"Well, I thank you on behalf of everyone in the Holy Army!"

Novlin was finally persuaded by Su Ming.

"You don't have to be so polite. This is my Qunxing Forum account. If you run into any trouble in the future and need my help, just find a way to contact me through the Qunxing Forum. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse!"

Su Ming took out a piece of paper with the account number of the Star Forum written on it and handed it to Novelin.

"Okay, let's go first."

After receiving the note, Novlin said to Su Ming with some emotion.

"Goodbye. If you have the chance to come to the Federation, I will definitely treat you well!"

Su Ming said to Nofulin and others.

"See you!"

Novlin and others immediately returned to their own mechas and controlled them to leave the Tsar.

Su Ming and others stood where they were, watching them leave.

Inside the central control room of the Tsar.

Zhou Yuelin reported to Major General Vickers.

"General, Su Ming and the others have returned to the Tsar, and the people from the Holy Army have also left."

"Well, notify everyone, the Tsar is setting sail!"

Major General Vickers immediately issued the order.

"Yes!"

Zhou Yuelin responded immediately.

At the interstellar airport, the Tsar started up again, and the huge ship slowly rose.

Novlin and others stopped controlling the mecha and turned their heads to look back at the Tsar which was slowly rising into the air.

Fia asked somewhat sadly.

"Sister, will we meet them again in the future?"

"I don't know, maybe."

Novlin replied somewhat sadly.

At this time, the Tsar was at full power, flying towards the distant sky and eventually disappeared from sight.
-
Inside the Tsar's dock.

Su Ming brought Rhine and others back to Fengdong.

"We're finally back."

"I can finally take a shower. I haven't had a shower in almost ten days. I feel like I'm going to stink."

"Yes, the Holy Army is good, but the conditions are really too bad."

“This time it’s really fatal.”

Rhine and others said with great emotion.

"Okay, everyone go back and have a good rest. Except for the people on duty, everyone else will have a day off these days!"

Su Ming said to Rhine and others.

"Ok"

Rhine and others responded one after another.

Su Ming then walked towards his room.

The moment you walk to the door and open it.

Xiao Hui rushed over at an extremely fast speed and threw himself directly into Su Ming's arms.

"Squeak~"

Xiao Hui rubbed against Su Ming while crying out in grievance.

Su Ming smiled silently and touched Xiao Hui's head to comfort him.

"Okay, I'm back now. I'll get you a bunch of grapes later."

When Xiao Hui heard Su Ming's words, he immediately shouted with great joy.

Su Ming then carried Xiao Hui into the room and closed the door.
-
Five months later.

Inside the temporary office of officers on the Tsar.

Su Ming drank hot water leisurely, watching Colifa and others chatting there.

"Do you find this strange?"

Korifah said with a frown.

"What's weird?"

Xiuen and others asked curiously.

"It has been five months since we left the Land of Lost Path."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's been so long, and we haven't returned to the Federation yet. Don't you think it's strange?"

"What you said seems to make sense, but could it be the reason why we took a detour?"

"It took us too long to take the long route. You know, it only took us a month to attack the Imperial Army from the Star Fortress. It's been five months now, and we haven't returned home yet. Do you think we have to carry out some special mission again?"

Korifah said in a low voice.

"No way, Major General Vickers has clearly stated that we are indeed returning."

Ye Hai replied with a dark face.

Su Ming was a little confused when he heard this. It was indeed too long for them to return.

Just then, Kaf walked over and said with a smile.

"What are you guessing? We are indeed returning, and the time of return is fine."

"Ah? Then what's going on?"

Colifa and others looked at Kaf.

"You are stupid. We came here on the Star Fortress. The speeds of the Star Fortress and the Tsar are different. Although the Star Fortress cannot compare to the Star Destroyer, its speed can barely reach 2 Hertz, while the Tsar only has 1 Hertz. In other words, the speed of the Star Fortress is 10 times that of the Tsar, so our five-month voyage is nothing."

Kaf explained to the crowd.

After listening to what Kaf said, Su Ming did some calculations.

The Xinghui Fortress sailed for about a month, but it was not sailing all the time. It stopped for a lot of time for them to train and conduct combat exercises.

Therefore, at most it should have been sailing for half of the time. If calculated based on this time, the Tsar should be almost back to the Federation.

"Oh my god, so that's the reason. But the speed is too slow."

"I didn't expect the Starlight Fortress to be so fast. Wouldn't the Legion Commander and his men return earlier than us?"

"possible!"

At this time, Korifah and others also reacted and spoke up.

Kaf said with a sigh.

"In fact, the speed of Xinghui Fortress is not that fast. There are faster ones."

"Ah? Is there something faster?"

Korifah and the others all looked at Kaf.

"The Imperial Army's curvature ring is much faster. It can jump large groups of ships and reach the destination in seconds."

Kaf said to the crowd.

"Yes, that's a good thing. The Imperial Army uses the curvature ring for jumping combat. Their tactics are really good!"

Xiuen said in agreement.

"Does our Federation have such a device?"

Su Ming asked curiously.

"No, that curvature ring was invented by the genius Doctor Bragg of the Dark Star Empire. The Federation still hasn't mastered that technology."

Kraft shook his head and replied.

"What a pity."

Su Ming said with great regret when he heard this.

"But it's nothing. The energy required to activate the curvature ring is an astronomical figure. The Dark Star Empire is reluctant to use it unless it is absolutely necessary. If it is used too many times, it will go bankrupt."

Kraft seemed to feel a little aggrieved, and then tried to make amends.

"Makes sense."

Colifa echoed.

Inside the Tsar's central control room.

Zhou Yuelin reported to Major General Vickers.

"General, we are about to end our FTL flight and will reach the Kagol Line."

"Very good. After completing the superluminal flight, immediately send an encrypted communication request to the highest command center of the Kagor Defense Line!"

Vickers took a deep breath and replied.

"Yes!"

Zhou Yuelin responded immediately.

In the vast starry sky, dandelion-shaped metal defense fortresses are floating. At every distance, you can see a giant umbrella-shaped space-based weapon. In addition, you can also see a large number of battleships patrolling in an orderly manner.

Behind these defensive weapons stands a gray metal fortress.

At this moment, ripples appeared in the dark starry sky.

The Tsar emerged silently.

In the central control room.

Zhou Yuelin immediately sent an encrypted communication request to the highest command center of the Cagole Defense Line.

"Awaiting response."

"The other party has accepted and an encrypted communication connection is being established."

Soon, a woman with pale hair, wrinkles on her face, a cold expression, and wearing a major general's uniform appeared on the operating screen.

"I am Major General Lin Ling, the commander of the Cagole Defense Line."

Vickers stood up and replied solemnly.

"I am Vice Commander of the 13th Federation Legion, Vickers. I am now formally applying for the Tsar to clear the Cagole Line and return home."

"The Thirteenth Legion? You guys are back safely!"

After hearing this, Lin Ling was stunned at first, and then replied with surprise.

"Ok!"

"Great, I'll let you go right away. Do you want to rest here?"

"No, we are going to return directly to the third planet. General Lin Ling, I hope you can keep our return a secret and not publicize it."

"I understand. You've worked hard."

Lin Ling replied to Major General Vickers and others.

"Thank you!"

Major General Vickers nodded in response.

As communications were shut down, Dandelion Fortresses were seen moving away in the starry sky in front of the Tsar, and the Cagore Line immediately shut down curvature interference in some areas.

At this time, the Tsar was fully powered and passed through the Kagor Line of Defense. It activated the superluminal flight device again and disappeared into the sea of stars.

At this time Zhou Yuelin was extremely happy and said to Vickers.

"General, we have entered the Federation and we are home safely."

"Very good, notify all combatants immediately and assemble at Training Ground No. 1!"

After Major General Vickers finished speaking, he stood up.

"Yes!"

Zhou Yuelin responded immediately.

Inside the officer's temporary office.

Su Ming, Kaf and others were having a happy chat.

Suddenly, everyone's wristbands vibrated and a message popped up.

After they finished reading, they all stood up and spoke.

"Let's go and gather at Training Ground No. 1!"

A moment later, in training ground No. 1.

Rhine and others have arrived, and they are neatly arranged in a square formation according to their teams.

Su Ming and others hurried over and stood in front of their respective teams.

At this time, Rhine, who was standing behind Su Ming, asked in a low voice.

"Squad leader, what happened?"

"I don't know either. I received a notification at the last minute."

Su Ming replied in a low voice.

At this time, Major General Vickers came over with his hands behind his back.

Everyone looked serious and stood very straight.

Vickers walked up to the crowd, glanced at everyone, and spoke seriously.

"I am now officially announcing something. Not long ago, we returned safely and entered the Federation. Now the Tsar is heading to the third planet."

When everyone heard what Vickers said, they all showed very happy expressions.

But everyone still controlled their emotions and stood there in an orderly manner.

Vickers was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and he said seriously.

"Once we enter the Federation, we will be safe. Now I will officially play the video clip left by the Legion Commander. Everyone, watch carefully!"

Su Ming and the others were a little surprised when they heard this. The legion commander actually left behind images in advance.

Vickers raised his bracelet and tapped it a few times, and the image of the purple-haired girl was projected in front of everyone.

At this time, the purple-haired girl bowed to everyone and then spoke slowly.

"When you see this video, it means that you have successfully completed the mission to attack the Heart of Space and returned to the Federation safely. I am really happy and proud of you. I congratulate you here. You have done a great job. The Thirteenth Legion is proud of you!"

When Korifah and the others heard the purple-haired girl's congratulations, they all looked excited.

"There is one more thing you need to pay attention to. The Thirteenth Legion is a special secret legion. After you return to the Federation, you are not allowed to reveal the internal situation to the outside world and keep your identity confidential. As for the rest of the things, General Vickers will explain to you. Finally, congratulations on your triumphant return!"

The purple-haired girl said coldly.

The image then froze and finally disappeared.

At this time, Major General Vickers spoke to Su Ming and others in a deep voice.

"Okay, that's the message from the commander. I'll just add a few words. I'll report the merits of the first two battles to you after we return. As for the merits of the attack on the Heart of the Skybase, I'll report it after the commander returns. If I report it, there will probably be some problems."

When Su Ming heard what General Vickers said, he immediately realized that the military achievements of the previous two battles were drafted and signed by the corps commander, and Major General Vickers only needed to report it.

In the last Battle of the Heart of Space, Vickers did not report it directly, probably because he was afraid that the parliament and the military would not buy into his plan.

"Also, after you go back, keep a low profile as much as possible. You can report your military rank to others, but try not to tell others that you are from the Thirteenth Legion. If someone pursues you relentlessly and investigates you, you can regard them as spies! And the reason why I asked you to do this is to protect you!"

"You are now heroes of the Federation, but you are also a thorn in the side of the Dark Star Empire. They will eliminate you at all costs! Every year, many heroes of the Federation die in various shameful assassinations and accidents."

General Vickers reminded very seriously.

Of course, there was one more thing he didn't say, which was that he needed to be wary not only of the Dark Star Empire's people, but also of his own people.

When Su Ming and the others heard what Vickers said, their expressions became very solemn.

What Vickers said was not alarmist, because the Dark Star Empire and the Kingdom of Apocalypse were both split from the Federation.

The three major forces have placed a large number of spies and agents within their own ranks.

There are endless assassinations every year.

This time they dealt a heavy slap to the Dark Star Empire, making the Emperor lose face. There is no way this matter can be let go.

"Finally, I declare that everyone will take a vacation! Everyone, enjoy this rare vacation. The time of returning to the team is to be determined!"

"understand!"

Everyone responded one after another.

"Alright, we will arrive at the third planet soon. Now everyone go back and wash up and change into military uniforms. When we arrive at the City of Starlight, it will be time for us to send our dead companions home!"

General Vickers said to the crowd.

"Yes!"

When Su Ming and the others heard what Vickers said, their expressions became very heavy.

In the office of the City Lord's Mansion in the City of Starlight.

Jakkers sat at his desk with a holographic screen in front of him, showing the communication images of Lord Sevo, Lord Shim, and Lord Frif.

"Lord Jakkers, you must avenge our country. The Dark Star Empire is truly inhumane. They directly destroyed my home planet, and hundreds of millions of lives were lost just like that."

Lord Frifus cried and accused.

“It’s really too much.”

"He's just a beast. Lord Jakkers, you can't just ignore him."

Lord Sevo and Lord Shim also echoed.

Although the star that was destroyed was not their main star, they still felt a little sad.

Jakkers also had a headache after hearing this and spoke up.

"Calm down and listen to me!"

Frith and the other two immediately quieted down and looked at Jakkers.

Jakkers said in a deep voice.

"The Federation has not ignored you, you have seen it. The Federation sent troops to the Danube Star Sea to confront the Dark Star Empire head-on for you, and later sent an expeditionary force to break into the Dark Star Empire and destroy the Heart of the Space Base! Isn't that enough? Don't just focus on the Dark Star Empire destroying stars. Think about it, if the Dark Star Empire didn't care about the Federation, would they only destroy one? They would have flattened all three of you long ago! Do you still have the opportunity to speak here now?"

After hearing this, King Sevo, King Shim and King Frif looked at each other and dared not say a word.

"But."

Lord Frifu spoke very unwillingly.

"Lord Frifus, listen to me. The Federation will not ignore the destruction of your planet. I will provide you with a large amount of funds and materials to help you rebuild your planet. As for this revenge, I will definitely help you get it back when I have the chance in the future."

Jakkers said to Lord Friff.

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, King Friv could only respond dejectedly.

"Okay, let's stop here for now. I'm a little tired."

When Jakkers saw that King Frith had given in, he ended the remote meeting in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master Jakkers."

Frith and the other two immediately cut off the communication.

"Ugh!"

Jakkers also sighed deeply.

He was actually very angry about the Dark Star Empire's destruction of the star. But he didn't want to go to war with the Dark Star Empire at all, so he could only appease it by force.

At this time, the office door was pushed open, and Deputy City Lord Okens rushed in and spoke excitedly to Jakkers.

"Lord Jakkers, an emergency notice has been sent from the Kagor Defense Line. The Thirteenth Legion has returned!"

"What did you say? The Thirteenth Legion is back."

Jakkers stood up excitedly.

"That's right! We're probably almost at the third planet."

Deputy City Lord Okens replied immediately.

"Quick, follow me to greet the commander of the Thirteenth Legion!"

"Lord Gakels, the Thirteenth Legion Commander and the Starlight Fortress did not return. Only the Tsar returned."

"Uh, you didn't come back?"

"Yes!"

"How about this, Okens, you personally lead the team to greet them, and make sure to use the highest standards of etiquette."

Jakkers pondered for a moment and said to Deputy City Lord Okens.
