Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 408 Haunted (Five in One)

A few days later, on the neutral planet Blackkank in Kviten.

Inside the temporary combat command center conference hall.

Major General Vickers said with a gloomy face to a middle-aged woman wearing a major general's uniform, with flaxen curly hair, slightly high cheekbones, thin cheeks, and dark yellow skin.

"Taina, don't go too far. That's obviously our spoils of war."

"We intercepted the ship, so it should belong to us."

"Are you getting older and older? You don't care about your dignity anymore. That ship clearly ran away from the area I'm responsible for."

"Who are you calling old? Watch your mouth. Do you want to fight?"

Taina retorted sharply.

"I'm afraid of you, old woman."

Major General Vickers was also angered.

Just as the two were about to start fighting, a deep voice shouted.

"What are you doing?"

Vickers and Taina stopped immediately and turned to look.

Deputy Commander Parekent walked in with a sullen face.

"General, please give us your opinion."

Vickers and Taina both spoke to Deputy Commander Parekent at the same time.

"Okay, stop arguing. I know everything. Whoever intercepts the thing gets it."

Deputy Commander Parekent made the final decision.

"General, how can this be possible? We fought so hard to conquer this place."

Major General Vickers was halfway through his words.

Deputy Commander Parekent also interrupted him very forcefully and scolded him.

"That's enough, Vickers! I don't have time to listen to you guys talking nonsense. Whoever gets it gets it."

"Humph!"

Vickers angrily punched the conference table next to him and left in a rage.

When he walked out of the council room, he bumped into Su Ming.

"Su Ming?"

Vickers spoke up quite unexpectedly.

"Hey, Lao Wei. What's wrong with you? What happened that makes you so angry?"

Su Ming found out that Vickers was in the conference room, so he came to find him. As soon as he arrived, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside.

Vickers' expression changed for a moment, and then he spoke to Su Ming.

"If we meet an unreasonable gossiper, let's talk while we walk!"

"."

Su Ming was also stunned. It was the first time that Vickers swore.

"Didn't I accept a breakthrough mission? The mission asked me to destroy a planet occupied by the Dark Star Empire's Seventh Legion, the Shadow Legion. We put in a lot of effort and finally destroyed it! But then a transport ship of the other side took off and broke through. This shouldn't have been a big deal. We just gave chase and took it down! But Taina from the Eighth Legion happened to lead a fleet passing by and directly intercepted it. The most hateful thing is that Deputy Commander Parekent directly determined that the things belonged to her. It really pissed me off. The meat that I had finally gnawed off was gone."

Major General Vickers became angrier as he spoke.

"What's on board?"

Su Ming asked curiously.

"A large amount of 3rd generation mecha materials, as well as some 3rd level crystals and luxury goods."

Weeks felt more and more distressed as he spoke.

"Oh, it's okay! It's just a small amount of money, don't be angry."

Su Ming consoled him with a smile.

"What small change? You don't run the household, so you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are! If I don't make some money, how can I provide special meals for my brothers and sisters? What will they eat and drink?"

Vickers said angrily.

"this."

"Wait, you are now a major general, with your own independent formation, and you are the boss. Today I have to teach you a lesson."

"Ah? What class?"

Su Ming was also confused.

"I'm telling you, you need to change your mindset now. You used to be a combatant, and you could ask your superiors to reimburse you for everything. But now your status has changed, and the soldiers below you have to ask you to reimburse them. Also, the quotas given by the military are the most basic, and it's impossible for them to give you everything you want. In addition, many legions have additional welfare subsidies, you can't have none, right? Or less than others, right? If that's the case, who would work for you?"

"it seems to be like this."

"I haven't finished yet. There is also the biggest part, the pension. Although the military will distribute it uniformly after the death, is that enough money? Don't you have to pay for it yourself? Don't you send people to comfort the dead brothers during the holidays? I tell you the truth, for the brothers who died in the last war, I have transferred some money to the accounts of their families every year. Although it's not much, it's still 1,800! Add up all these messes, can you avoid overspending?"

"overtake!"

"Then you have to find a way to make up for the overspending yourself, right?"

"Yes."

Su Ming replied with a wry smile.

"Alas, this family is not that easy to be, you have to learn it slowly!"

Vickers reached out and patted Su Ming's shoulder.

"Ok!"

Su Ming nodded in response.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Why did you come here suddenly?"

Vickers asked after calming down.

"I'm here to ask for your help."

"What's the deal?"

"I want to borrow the mechanical octopuses from the Tsar."

"Ah? That's my old capital. That's too much."

"Don't be so stingy. Didn't you say you would support me before? Just lend it to me."

Su Ming said shamelessly.

"No, what do you want these mechanical octopuses for?"

Vickers asked curiously.

"Of course it's a mission."

"What mission?"

"I can't tell you this. It has to be kept secret. Please help me."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Okay, I'll lend it to you! I really didn't check the almanac before going out today, so I bled."

Vickers said with great pain.

"Haha, thanks!"

Su Ming thanked him happily.

"Nothing to thank you for, just be safe! If you need any help, just let me know."

Major General Vickers instructed Su Ming.

"it is good."

Su Ming nodded in response.

Soon after.

Outer space of the planet Black Kank.

The Wind came near the Tsar.

click!
The Tsar opened special boarding exits one after another.

Swish!

Mechanical octopuses flew out from the sky and surrounded the Fengdong in all directions.

In the central control room.

Timmy reported to Su Ming.

"Successfully received the mechanical octopus, entering double camouflage mode."

"Very good, let's go, our destination is the Crimson Country!"

Su Ming gave orders directly to Timmy.

"Understood. Activate the superluminal flight device."

Timmy responded immediately.

The Fengdong instantly increased its power output, penetrated into the subspace and disappeared.
-
Crimson Kingdom, Crimson Palace.

The golden dome is magnificent, and the red crystal chandeliers are flashing with strange light.

On both sides of the palace, there are giant pillars with intricate patterns carved on their surfaces, and the ground is paved with black and gold bricks.

At the front of the palace sits a luxurious throne.

Deputy Legion Commander Awabido sat on the throne, stroking the armrest and said with emotion.

"This is a great seat. It feels so good to sit on it. No wonder so many people are willing to risk their lives for this seat."

"My Lord, be careful with your words! If this gets to the Emperor's ears, it will be troublesome."

At this time, standing on the right side of the throne, a middle-aged man wearing fourth-generation gray colonial armor, with a bloated body, fat on his face, a fake smile, and big eyes shining with brilliance, quickly reminded.

"I understand, Muta! Bring everyone in."

Awabido twisted his neck and replied.

"Okay, bring them all in!"

Muta raised his hands and clapped them together, then shouted.

At this time, merchants, noble men and ladies were driven in by ferocious imperial soldiers.

They came to Awabido in horror, their bodies shaking constantly.

Awabido looked at everyone with a grim smile and said happily.

"Everyone is welcome to my feast."

Everyone present was trembling and couldn't utter a word.

During the time that the Crimson Nation was colonized by the Empire, they have experienced firsthand how brutal these guys are.

Most of those who resisted or refused to cooperate were tortured to death. After death, their bodies were directly turned into corpse powder and fed to the captives.

"Don't be nervous. Today's feast is a great thing for you."

"Good thing?"

Everyone looked at Awabido in disbelief.

"That's right. As long as you cooperate and hand over the hidden assets, I will let you go and let you leave the Crimson Country. Of course, you don't have to worry. Whether it's the secret account opened by Morris Interstellar Bank or the assets in the Federation and Apocalypse, I want them all!"

Awabido said with a very creepy smile.

"Sir, we don't have any assets left. We have already handed them over."

A noble man with slicked hair and powdered face said tremblingly.

Awabido glanced at Muta with a smile.

Muta walked straight forward, drew the sword from his waist, and chopped it down!
"Ah! My hand."

The noble man let out a shrill scream, fell to the ground and rolled over. His entire left palm was chopped off and blood splattered all over the ground.

The hearts of everyone present trembled violently.

Avabido slowly stood up from the throne and said with a smile.

"If you don't have assets, then you have no value. Why keep something that has no value?"

When everyone heard what Awabido said, their faces turned even paler.

Awabido looked at the crowd with interest. In fact, the reason these people were not dead was because they all had hidden assets.

These assets were either hidden in places where he couldn't get involved, or in the hands of their families who had fled to the Federation.

At this time, a thin, pale-skinned young nobleman took a deep breath, raised his head and looked directly at Avabido and said.

"Lord Awabido, even if we really hand over the hidden assets, you will not let us go."

When everyone heard this, they looked at the young nobleman in shock.

This guy is really bold. Although they also think so, who dares to say this to Awabido?

Once you anger Avabido, it will be difficult for you to die, as the empire has all kinds of torture.

But surprisingly, Awabido was not angry. Instead, he pointed at the young man and said.

"Well said! You can go and ask around. I, Awabi, always keep my word and never break it! And think about it, if you hand over your assets, what good will it do if I kill you? That will only make the next people even more afraid to hand them over! Of course, there is a prerequisite. The assets you hand over must be of sufficient weight. If it is too little, then I am sorry, I can only mercifully let you go."

"Okay, I'll hand it over!"

After hearing what Awabido said, the young man gritted his teeth and said.

"Very good, how about you guys?"

Avabido looked at the rest of the people.

"Pay it forward, let's pay it!"

Everyone's defenses collapsed instantly and they all started talking.

"That's right, take them all away."

Avabido raised his hand and waved.

One by one, the imperial soldiers stepped forward and led them out of the palace.

At this time, Mu Ke asked with a smile.

"Sir, after these people have finished explaining themselves, should we kill them?"

"After squeezing them out, they have no value anymore. Why should I kill them? It will only dirty my hands."

"But, are we just going to let them go like this?"

"How can I let them go so easily? I promised to let them leave the Crimson Country, but I didn't tell them how to leave. When the time comes, I'll give each of them an escape pod and see how far they can run. If someone thinks the escape pod is not good, then I'll add money and squeeze the marrow out of them."

Avabido had a cruel look on his face.

He was in no mood to waste time with these prisoners. The Federation had already begun a full-scale counterattack, and no one knew how the situation would develop subsequently, so he had to squeeze out all the money and property from them at all costs.

"Your Excellency is wise."

Muk praised respectfully.

Two days later.

In the dark starry sky.

A level 5 battleship branded with the bloody fang logo, accompanied by two level 4 battleships, escorted a level 5 transport ship, sailing at high speed.

An annoyed voice said in the communication channel.

"Everyone, cheer up! Those mad dogs from the Federation are biting everywhere now."

"Lord Anfei, you worry too much! The Crimson Kingdom's defense line is ahead. How dare those guys from the Federation get such guts?"

"You have to be careful to avoid being ambushed."

"The sky around here is completely empty, not even a ghost can be seen."

"alright."

And wait until the fleet sails away.

There was a slight fluctuation in the starry sky not far away.

Inside the central control room of Fengdong.

Timmy reported to Su Ming.

"We have avoided the Dark Star Empire's fleet. They haven't spotted us. The mechanical octopus's camouflage is very effective."

"Very good, but still be careful. Although the mechanical octopus's camouflage ability is very good, it is not without shortcomings. The ship will still block the stars and be observed."

Su Ming instructed Timmy.

"I understand, but Master Su Ming, which area of ​​the Crimson Country are we flying to?"

Timmy then asked.

"Let me think about this again."

Su Ming was a little troubled when he heard what Timmy said. He still hadn't decided on a hiding place.

"it is good."

Timmy didn't push.

Su Ming sat on the chair and continued to look at the star map in front of him.

Outside the Crimson Country, there are dozens of meteorite groups of all sizes, which are all good hiding places, but Su Ming always feels that something is missing.

At this moment, Su Ming inadvertently saw a large meteorite area between the Crimson Kingdom and the neighboring Bunk Kingdom, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The Bunk Kingdom is also one of the three major transit points occupied by the Dark Star Empire, and stationed there is the Dark Star Empire's Black Crow Legion.

Under normal circumstances, this area is unsafe, after all, there are defense forces of the Dark Star Empire on both sides.

But Su Ming set his eyes on this place. Nothing is safer than being in the dark.

"Timmy!"

"exist!"

"Go to the Kalongongs meteorite area, we will hide here."

Su Ming shared the coordinates with Timmy.

After reading it, Timmy's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't quite understand why Su Ming would choose such a location as a hiding place.

This position is not very good. Once exposed, you might be trapped.

But she still obeyed unconditionally.

"it is good!"

"Ah."

After Su Ming finished the arrangements, he immediately raised his bracelet, opened the database, and retrieved the information of the Star Destroyer Dark Blood.

Since the Dark Blood is a veteran star destroyer of the Dark Star Empire and has fought against the Federation many times, the Federation still has some information about it.

Dark Blood

Class: Star Destroyer
Main gun: Meteor cannon
Universal transmitter: 100W
Interceptor artillery: 3W
External armor: Titanium alloy (with some eternal metal added)

Power Plant: Star Core (Low Power Version)

Scanning device: XCS-05 Blood Eye.

Su Ming carefully studied the data of the Dark Blood, especially the scanning device.

He repeatedly confirmed its scanning power and range.

The most crucial point in this battle plan is this Star Destroyer.

Su Ming must confirm whether the camouflage of his mecha can hide from the scan of the Star Destroyer Dark Blood, or measure the safe distance.

If his mecha couldn't handle this Star Destroyer, then he would really have to consider seeking help from the Legion Commander.

The next day.

The Fengdong carefully bypassed the patrol forces of the Dark Star Empire and successfully entered the Kalongongs meteorite area. It drove deep into the area and stopped with its back against a giant meteorite.

At this time, Li Menghan reported to Timmy.

"Arrived at the hiding spot!"

"It has been confirmed that there are no abnormalities around!"

"Very good, shut down the propulsion and activate silent mode."

Timmy then gave the order.

"Silent mode is being activated, shutting down all unnecessary facilities"

Li Menghan and others executed the task very professionally.

When Timmy saw that everything was ready, he stood up and reported to Su Ming.

"Commander Su Ming, everything is ready!"

Xiuen, Hegas, Rhine and others all looked at Su Ming, waiting for him to give combat orders.

Su Ming slowly stood up under the gaze of everyone, then said with a smile.

"Very good, now it's time to teach the Imperial Army a lesson. All of you stay on the ship and wait for my instructions."

"Boss, isn't it too dangerous for you to be alone?"

"Yeah, shall we join you?"

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

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll call you when I need you!"

Su Ming looked at everyone and said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Rhine and others responded one after another.

Su Ming then walked to the small mobile platform next to him.

click!
The entire mobile platform sank suddenly.

Not long after, Su Ming arrived at the hangar and saw several mechanics standing respectfully in front of the pseudo-V generation mecha, Shadow Lord.

Su Ming walked up to the mecha and asked calmly.

"Ok?"

"Everything is ready. Three HXC-3 sub-light-speed nuclear torpedo missiles, Wind Kui, and one HXC-01 sub-light-speed nuclear torpedo missile, Fury, have been loaded."

The mechanic present replied respectfully.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Su Ming then activated the colonial armor to cover his entire body and floated towards the cab.

Soon Su Ming entered the cockpit and started the pseudo V-generation mecha, Lord of Shadows!
Noisy!
The scarlet electronic eyes of the entire mecha suddenly lit up.

Su Ming controlled the mecha and walked to the exit.

At this time, Timmy's voice sounded in the communication channel.

"Sir, are you ready?"

"Ready."

Su Ming replied calmly.

"Good luck, get going!" As Timmy finished his words, the boarding exit opened and all the indicator lights in the passage turned from red to green.

Su Ming then controlled the mecha and rushed in at high speed.

In the meteorite area.

The dark starry sky suddenly fluctuated.

Su Ming controlled the pseudo V-generation mecha, Lord of Shadows, and flew out.

"Stealth killing mode activated!"

Su Ming's mind moved, and a prompt popped up on the virtual interface.

Swish!
The entire surface of the pseudo-V-generation mecha, Shadow Lord, was covered with ripples and disappeared in an instant.

Su Ming controlled the Lord of Shadows and flew towards the border defense line of the Crimson Country at an extremely fast speed.

His plan was divided into two parts. The first part was reconnaissance. The first step was to investigate all the Imperial Army deployments in the Crimson Country and draw a comprehensive defense map. The second step was to test the Star Destroyer Darkblood.

The second part is the hunting operation plan, the core logic of which is to hunt down the officers of the Imperial Army silently and make them tremble with fear and panic.

Of course, the most important point of this plan is that you must stay in the dark so that the other party cannot figure out your true identity.

Soon Su Ming flew to the border area of ​​the Crimson Country’s starry sky.

All I saw were metal gyroscope-shaped fortresses floating.

These gyro-shaped fortress bodies extend out with black gun barrels, and on the top of the planes are parked mechas and interstellar fighters.

There are triangular mechanical devices floating around, and in the center of these devices, there are transparent glass beads embedded.

Su Ming recognized it at a glance. This was the Imperial Army's unique defensive weapon, the Spiral Fortress, and the warning device, the Mechanical Gray Eye. He had seen it when he attacked the Heart of the Sky Base.

His eyes moved slightly, and then he controlled the Lord of Shadows to fly towards them, passing by them at a close distance.

These defensive weapons did not react at all.

Su Ming turned his head and looked back. As he expected, conventional defensive weapons could not reach the Lord of Shadows at all.

But even so, Su Ming did not take it lightly and continued to fly forward.

A moment later, Su Ming saw a hundred-meter-high cone-shaped mechanical fortress in the distant starry sky.

"Nightmare Tower?"

Su Ming spoke with a little surprise.

This Deputy Commander Awabido is really willing to spend a lot of money to deploy so many defensive weapons here.

At this time, ten second-generation mechas, Gray Falcons, came patrolling from a distance.

Su Ming controlled the mecha to avoid it and continued to fly towards the distant starry sky.

One day later.

Outside the border defense line of the Crimson Country.

The pseudo V-generation mecha Shadow Lord floats in the starry sky.

Inside the cockpit.

Su Ming sat in the driver's seat, and the virtual interface in front of him showed a map of the entire Crimson Country's defense lines.

It marks various defense points, as well as patrol areas of various patrol ships and mecha formations, in great detail.

Su Ming watched it repeatedly, imprinting all the information in his mind.

At this moment, a black prompt box suddenly popped up.

"Warning: Star Destroyer Darkblood detected."

Then a huge red dot appeared on the edge of the scanning device screen.

Su Ming's heart skipped a beat and he immediately raised his head to look at the starry sky in the distance, his vision constantly zooming closer.

The Star Destroyer Dark Blood was seen slowly driving out from the border defense line and then stopped.

Su Ming held his breath and stared at the Dark Blood. If the other party discovered him, he would retreat immediately.

He really didn't expect to run into the Dark Blood here.

But this is just right, as it saves me from having to go deep into the Crimson Country to find it.

But Su Ming was very confused. What was this guy doing outside the defense line?
At this time, the ejection ports of the Dark Blood opened one by one!

Swish!

Densely packed simple mechanical escape pods popped out.

Then the ship boarding exits opened one by one.

A number of very small escape boats, each about fifty meters long, flew out.

Su Ming was also confused when he looked at the escape pod and small escape boat launched by the Dark Blood.

What the hell are these people doing?

Su Ming's expression changed for a moment, and then he opened the public communication channel to see if he could monitor some useful information.

The next second, voices of fear and cursing rang out.

"Awabido, you bastard, you will die!"

"You can't do this. I've already handed over all my property. You can't just give me an escape pod."

"Help! Who's driving the lifeboat? Please save me. I'll work like a slave for you."

When Su Ming heard their words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He probably guessed what was going on.

These imperial soldiers are really cruel and ruthless. They are really ruthless and will eat people without leaving any bones.

Even though they seem to let these people go, it is actually no different from killing them, and may even be more cruel.

Those escape pods can only provide oxygen for 48 hours at most, and they can't fly very far. Once the oxygen runs out, it will be the end of the people inside.

As for those small escape boats, they are not necessarily much better. Without the curvature device, how far can they fly? How long can the supplies inside last?

Su Ming took a deep breath, his eyes flashed, and he decisively controlled the pseudo-V generation mecha, Shadow Lord, and approached the star destroyer, Dark Blood, little by little.

Although in theory, the Shadow Lord's camouflage device should be able to avoid scanning.

But who knows whether the Dark Blood has upgraded its scanning device after all these years.

At this time, the distance was constantly displayed on the virtual screen in Su Ming's eyes.

"10 kilometers!"

"9 kilometers!"

Flutter! Flutter!
As the distance shortened little by little, Su Ming's heart beat faster and faster, and his blood began to boil.

Su Ming became more and more excited. He hadn't done such an exciting thing for a long time.

Soon the distance reached 1 kilometers, but the Dark Blood still did not respond.

Su Ming held his breath, his face showing a very excited expression.

He saw hope of victory, as long as he could get within 5000 kilometers without being discovered.

5600 km!

5500 km!

5000 km!

Su Ming immediately controlled the mecha to stop and stared at the Dark Blood.

At this moment, the Star Destroyer Dark Blood suddenly moved.

"Discovered?"

Su Ming's eyelids twitched suddenly, but he still forced himself to suppress his impulse and did not turn around and run away.

At this time, the Star Destroyer Darkblood turned its bow and flew towards the Crimson Country.

Su Ming looked at the Dark Blood flying farther and farther away, a bright smile appearing on his face.

"The game officially begins!"

The next second, Su Ming controlled the Pseudo V-Generation Shadow Lord and flew towards the defense area away from the Fengdong.
-
In the dark starry sky.

A third-generation mecha, Falcon, and four second-generation mechas, Gray Falcon, are patrolling their respective areas in an orderly manner.

The conversation in the public communication channel was also very lively.

"To be honest, the girls in the Crimson Country are really tender."

"Okay, White, how much do you earn a month? Are you going to throw it all in?"

"I don't want to either. These girls are too weak. They die after just a few plays. I have to find another dealer to buy them."

"Too!"

"But then again, let's have some fun while we can. We never know when those federal dogs will attack us."

"What's there to be afraid of? They're just a bunch of cowards. What's so great about them?"

Just when they were chatting enthusiastically.

Suddenly a voice interrupted.

"Brothers, have you heard something?"

"whats the matter?"

White asked doubtfully.

"I heard from the women in the Crimson Country that a fierce ghost would appear here every once in a while."

"Ghost? Never heard of it."

"Yeah, you believe this kind of nonsense?"

"I'm telling the truth. This ghost is very scary and loves to set off fireworks."

"Is this true? It sounds so weird."

"Wait, who are you?"

"Yes, who is this person?"

White and the others reacted in astonishment, but the voice never sounded again, as if it had never existed.

They controlled the mecha and looked at the starry sky around them, but they didn't see anything unusual.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the public communication channel.

"what!"

White and the others were startled and drew their weapons, looking around in horror.

At this time, they saw the bright light of an explosion rising in the distance.

At this time, a terrified voice was heard in the public communication channel.

"Be careful, enemy attack!"

"Where are the enemies? Where are they?"

"Didn't see it."

"what!"

"This is patrol team number L46, requesting support!"

After hearing this, White and others controlled their mechas and rushed towards the L46 patrol team.

When they arrived at the scene.

Of the five-member patrol team, only one third-generation mecha, the Falcon, was left.

The falcon was extremely frightened. Holding the spiral spear, it kept turning around and looking around, as if it was being stared at by some invisible monster.

Seeing this, White summoned up the courage to shout.

"We're here to support you."

When the Falcon heard White's voice, it turned its head with great joy to look at White and others, and spoke in the communication channel at the same time.

"Great, you finally..."

But he hadn't finished speaking yet.

boom!
The entire Falcon Mecha exploded without any warning.

White and others were immediately frightened and spoke in horror!

"what's the situation?"

"I don't know. Suddenly the mecha exploded."

"Everyone, be careful."

The five people were alert all around as if they were facing a great enemy.

At this time, in the starry sky not far away, Su Ming, controlling the pseudo V generation·Lord of Shadows, looked at the five people with great interest.

Instead of killing this team, he controlled the mecha and rushed towards patrol teams in other areas.

He wants to keep this team to spread the fear of the unknown.

Under normal circumstances, no one would believe in ghosts. But when there are many deaths and the mental stress reaches a certain level, even the fake things will become real.

Time passes by second by second.

Seeing that they had not been attacked for a long time, White and the others slowly relaxed their tense expressions.

However, at this moment, the public communication channel once again sounded a panic call for help.

"Help, this is L44 patrol. We are under attack from some unknown source. The mechas are exploding one after another."

White's heart suddenly trembled, and he turned his head to look at the starry sky in another direction.

All I saw were dazzling fireworks blooming.

Crimson Palace, luxurious corridor.

Muk accompanied Awabido towards the room and said flatteringly.

"Lord Awabido, you are so wise. You have squeezed out so much wealth with just a little trick."

"It's not enough. You keep an eye on this matter."

Avabido said cheerfully.

"Sir, please rest assured that I will do the job."

Muk replied with a smile.

At this time, the two of them walked to the door of the room.

The two soldiers wearing third-generation exoskeleton armor standing at the door immediately opened the door.

A woman with long red hair, wearing a translucent lace dress, with a slim figure and full of temptation came into view.

"My lord, please have a good rest."

Muk bowed respectfully and flattered.

"Ok!"

Avabido walked straight into the room.

The guarding soldier immediately stepped forward and closed the door, followed by a burst of laughter from the room.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.

Da da!

Muk turned his head and saw a herald running over.
Muk then reached out to stop him.

"what happened?"

"Sir, there is a military report!"

"Lord Awabido is resting, just tell me."

"Yes, sir. The patrol team at the border of the Crimson Country was attacked by an unknown person, and more than a hundred people were killed."

The herald reported quickly.

"What did you say? So many patrolmen died?"

Muk said with a gloomy expression.

"Yes."

"Who attacked, the Federation or the monsters?"

"Not sure. According to the information provided by the surviving patrol team, they did not see any monsters or enemies. They only saw their companions' mecha explode for no apparent reason."

"Did the surveillance network find anything unusual?"

"no!"

"A bunch of rubbish. So many people died, and they didn't even know who the enemy was."

"Lord Muk, that..."

"What is that?"

"The soldiers down below said it might have been done by a ghost."

The herald stammered.

When Muk heard the herald's words, he slapped him in the face and spoke harshly.

"You're so stupid! What era is this? Do you believe such nonsense?"

"I was wrong, my lord."

The herald covered his face and replied in horror.

After Muk vented his anger, his expression changed and he spoke.

"Go, inform Reiser and have him lead the Blood Ray and the mecha troops to search!"

"Yes!"

The herald responded in horror.

In the dark starry sky.

Su Ming controlled the pseudo V-generation mecha, Shadow Lord, and hid behind a drifting meteorite.

He looked at a fourth-generation mecha, Blood Falcon, flying past him with five third-generation mecha, Falcon.

The corners of Su Ming's mouth rose slightly. Sure enough, the imperial army began to get restless.

He decisively controlled the pseudo V-generation mecha, Shadow Lord, and approached the fourth-generation mecha, Blood Falcon, little by little from behind.

The Blood Falcon mecha had no idea that danger was coming and continued to curse on the communication channel.

"Damn it, if I can find that piece of shit, I'll chop him into pulp and feed it to the pig beasts!"

"That's right, my lord."

Many subordinates echoed.

At this time, Su Ming quietly stuck behind the fourth-generation mecha Blood Falcon, suddenly activated the particle lightsaber, and instantly stabbed into the Blood Falcon mecha from behind.

boom!
A huge explosion swept across.

The five falcons around were stunned and shouted in horror.

"Run!"

Su Ming looked at the falcons fleeing in all directions and chased after them without hesitation, killing them all silently, and then controlled the mecha to leave.

At this time, in the distant starry sky, a 50-kilometer-long level 5 battleship, the Blood Ray, was covered with gray armor all over, with a sword-shaped hull and numerous launching ports all over its body, and was speeding over.

When the ship arrived at the accident site, the exits were opened one by one.

Then, a 1-meter-tall advanced fourth-generation mecha, the Blood Killer, with a blood-red metallic luster all over its body, a particle beam cannon on its shoulder, a pair of mechanical light wings embedded on its back, two particle light blades in its hand, and a red moon, a black moon, three red stars, and two black stars painted on its shoulders, rushed out with a group of mechas.

Reiser shouted angrily as he looked at the floating debris.

"Search in groups of five!"

"Yes!"

Everyone controlled the mechas and dispersed.

At this time, in the distant starry sky, Su Ming was controlling the pseudo V-generation mecha, Shadow Lord, and was watching this scene with great interest.
Things were going smoothly, and the Imperial Army began to send ships to search for him, but this was not enough, and he had to continue to increase his efforts.

However, Su Ming did not intend to take the risk of attacking the level 5 battleships and the fourth-generation advanced customized aircraft, as this would easily lead to failure.

Su Ming decisively controlled the mecha to leave.

Three days later, inside the Crimson Palace.

Awabido sat on the throne, and a virtual video interface appeared in front of him, playing a series of images.

In the video, the mechas exploded strangely without any warning. And there was no enemy in sight, which was chilling.

At this time, the imperial generals were half-kneeling on the ground, with panic-stricken looks on their faces.

After watching the video, Awabido's face showed a ferocious look, and he looked at them viciously like a man-eating beast.

"In just a few days, nearly three hundred of my subordinates died. Can anyone explain to me who did this?"

In fact, it is no wonder that Awabido was so angry. Among the more than 300 subordinates who died, nearly half were captains driving third-generation mechas, and some were colonel-level officers who were not on the red list.

This number of casualties was enough to make even Awabido's heart bleed.

The imperial generals present were all silent and didn't know how to respond.

At this time, Muk stood up and said respectfully.

"Sir, it's not their fault. The main reason is that the enemy is too cunning and attacks the lone search team everywhere. Moreover, the enemy's stealth ability is very strong. Our existing anti-stealth equipment and scanning devices can't detect it."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Awabido narrowed his eyes and looked at Muk.

"Sir, let me tell you! What we can rely on now is the Blood Eye scanning device of the Star Destroyer. We will turn the scanning power of the Star Destroyer to the maximum and conduct a large-scale scan. At the same time, we will dispatch a large number of ships to conduct a carpet search. Once they are forced out, we will immediately support them and kill them!"

Muk suggested to Awabido.

"I leave this matter to you. I don't care what method you use. I want to see that guy's body!"

Avabido stood up from his throne.

"Yes, my lord."

Muk replied respectfully.

"Humph!"

Avabido then left the hall.

Many half-kneeling generals breathed a sigh of relief, raised their heads and looked at Muk and asked.

"Lord Muk, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Use all our forces to search for him. If you can't find him, you don't have to come back!"

Muk yelled in irritation.

"Yes."

Everyone responded in panic.

Following the order, the Bloody Fang Legion stationed in the Crimson Country came out in full force.

2 level 5 motherships, 4 level 5 battleships Colossi, 12 level 4 battleships, and tens of thousands of mechas launched a carpet search.

At the same time, the Star Destroyer Dark Blood was in the rear, turning on the scanning device Blood Eye at full power, covering the entire Crimson Country and the external starry sky.
