Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 508: Saint Jox Star
Sea of ​​Fallen Cherry Blossoms, Star of Saint Jox.

A dreamy garden and a quaint pavilion.

Chief Mokdo leisurely picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Chief Defendi and Chief Jinris.

At this time, Chief Jinris picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with emotion.

"Although the Federation has elected a new acting parliament speaker, the current situation is not very good."

"That's for sure. Dark Star, Apocalypse and the alien races will definitely not let the Federation go. After all, the divine object that can drive everyone crazy is in the hands of the Federation."

Chief Defendi echoed.

"Mokto, do you think the newly appointed Long Bai can solve the crisis of the Federation?"

Generis looked at Mokdo who had been silent and asked.

"Although Long Bai has only come to prominence in recent years, both the events in the Danube Star Sea and the Tidal Star Sea are enough to prove her talent and strength. It's a pity that she is facing the entire universe this time, so it's hard to say."

Mokto said calmly.

"Then if something goes wrong with the Federation, we will also be implicated."

Chief Defendi said with a headache.

"There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned."

Mokto smiled and replied.

Just then an anxious voice was heard.

"My Lords, you cannot barge in like this."

"Go away!"

Along with a sinister voice, the people who were blocking the way were kicked to the ground.

Mokdo and the other two turned their heads and saw a man in a black suit, with skin as pale as paper, eyes with a hint of red, lips as red as blood, and a creepy aura all over his body, and a man in a white robe, with a feminine face and fierce eyes, walking towards them arrogantly with a group of subordinates.

Mokdo raised his eyebrows slightly, then quickly returned to normal and said with a smile.

"Master Fergus, Master Bruneda, what brings you two here?"

The man in the black suit is called Fergus, the youngest prince of the Dark Star Empire. It is said that he has a twisted personality and is bloodthirsty and murderous.

The man in the white robe next to him is called Bruneda, the Oracle of God. It is rumored that he is the male favorite of Emperor Vanlo, who specializes in conveying Vanlo's oracles.

"Mokto, it's so hard to see you!"

Fergus sneered coldly.

"Yes! Some people can't tell the difference between the big and small kings as they grow older."

Bruneda said with a creepy smile.

"You two have misunderstood. I am indeed ill and I did not mean to avoid you."

Mokto replied calmly.

"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. Our purpose this time is very simple. We want you to freeze all the Federation's funds and assets in St. Jox, transfer the property to us, and arrest their people."

Fergus said very domineeringly.

When Chief Jinris and Chief Defendi heard what Fergus said, their faces suddenly became very ugly, but they did not say anything.

Mokto spoke calmly.

"Isn't this inappropriate? We in St. Jox have never been involved in your country's grievances."

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll tell you the truth. The Federation is doomed this time. The aliens are about to launch a massive attack on them. The Federation was able to defeat the aliens because of our Emperor. It was our Emperor who led them into the heart of the aliens."

Fergus said arrogantly.

"Bullshit, it was clearly our Emperor Fanluo who led them into the heart of the alien race, okay?"

Bruneda jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, cursing angrily.

"Get out, it's our Emperor!"

"Shut up, it's our Divine Emperor!"

The two immediately started arguing.

The faces of both Chief Jinris and Chief Defendi were twitching. They knew better than anyone else who led the troops to attack the alien territory, but they did not expose it.

At this time, Mokdo quickly began to persuade.

"Calm down, both of you."

Fergus and Bruneda both snorted at the same time, stopped arguing, and then looked at Mokdo and threatened him.

"Mokto, we won't waste our time talking to you. Just do as we say. If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being rude. Our troops are all outside, and the Federation has no time to take care of you right now!"

"You two should talk it over nicely. There's really no need to resort to violence. You just want us to hand over all the assets of the Federation."

Mokto smiled and comforted him.

"You know what's going on!"

Seeing that Mokedo was scared, Fergus said with satisfaction.

"However, if you ask us to cooperate with you, you must prove that you are stronger than the Federation."

Mokto said with a smile.

"Old man, are you looking for death?"

Fergus asked with a fierce look in his eyes.

"I'm not looking for death, I'm just being realistic. You asked me to seal up the Federation's assets and arrest their people. What if the Federation comes after me and you can't beat them? What should we do then?"

Mokto replied calmly, showing no intention of compromising.

"You mean you won't cooperate?"

"Cooperate, of course, but don't you also want to prove it? Otherwise, let your Emperor and God-Emperor speak for themselves."

"Okay! In that case, let's cut off the federal waterway first to show you. Let's go!"

Seeing that Mokdo refused to cooperate, Fergus and Bruneda uttered harsh words and turned around and left with their men.

When Chief Jinris saw people leave, he also spoke in a cold voice.

"You two idiots! The Federation hasn't collapsed yet, but you're so impatient to jump out and put pressure on us. It's obvious that they want us to jump into the fire pit."

"Alas, the storm is coming. It looks like the good times are coming to an end."

Mokto sighed.
-
Legendary Star Destroyer Grey Angel.

Simple, spacious room.

Su Ming sat on the sofa, swiping his bracelet and checking the situation over at the Misty Star Sea.

He had heard Yun Rou's report to Long Bai before, and the situation over there seemed to be very bad.

After searching for a long time, I couldn't find much information about the Misty Star Sea on the Stellar Forum, and the forum was still filled with a large number of false posts.

But at this moment, he suddenly came across a post from a familiar ID, Sky Realm, Mist of Sorrow.

Su Ming remembered very clearly that this Sky Realm was the troll who had quarreled with Mia, and he was also from the Sky City, so he clicked on it.

Farewell, Vanguard of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Army of the Federation.

There is a video attached to the title.

Su Ming clicked on it and saw in the vast starry sky, three level 3 battleships with bloody fang logos painted on them were besieging a level 4 battleship of the Federation.

Countless missiles and beams hit the level 4 battleship.

Rumble!
Along with brilliant fireworks, the entire ship was riddled with holes, with raging flames burning everywhere on its surface.

Three Blood Falcon mechas led a large number of black mechas and attacked the surrounded Third Legion troops from all directions.

The Seventh Regiment's vanguard captain, Fewa, drove the Shadow Killer and roared at his remaining subordinates.

"Brothers, fight them!"

"Fight!"

"kill!"

Soon, the entire vanguard of the Seventh Regiment died heroically in battle.

Su Ming watched the video and sighed slightly.

The Dark Star Empire even transferred the severely damaged Blood Fang Legion over there.

For a moment, Su Ming was a little worried about Lin Chuyu who went to support him, and he didn't know how she was doing now.

"Hey, why do you keep checking these and paying attention to the situation every day? Don't you feel bored?"

Celis floated next to Su Ming and complained.

"It is okay."

Su Ming smiled and replied.

"Stop brushing, it's so boring! Didn't you say you would play with me?"

"Well, aren't we going to St. Jox? I'll go shopping with you then, and I'll buy you whatever you want."

"Really? I knew you were the best."

Celis rubbed against Su Ming excitedly.

dong dong!

At this time there was a knock on the door.

Celis heard someone knocking on the door and immediately fell on the table, not moving.

"Come in!"

Su Ming spoke calmly.

Creak~
The door was immediately opened, and Long Ying walked in and asked respectfully.

"General Su Ming, Grandpa Zeng would like to invite you to the observation deck for tea. Are you free?"

"it is good."

Su Ming thought for a moment, then stood up and followed Long Ying away.

The two were silent along the way, and Long Ying observed Su Ming out of the corner of her eye from time to time.

She clearly felt that Su Ming was completely different from other men of the same age. Not only was he gentle and polite, but he also had a very special temperament.

Not long after, Su Ming followed Long Ying to a quiet observation deck area.

This observation deck has been specially renovated. It is equipped with an antique gold-threaded tea table and wooden carved chairs. Through the special glass curtain wall next to it, one can clearly appreciate the beauty of the vast sea of ​​stars outside.

At this time, Long Chen was sitting in front of the tea table, leisurely making tea.

Su Ming and Long Ying walked over.

When Long Chen saw them coming, he called out to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, you are here, please sit down!"

"Ah."

Su Ming did not say anything polite and sat directly opposite Long Chen.

Long Ying sat next to Long Chen.

Long Chen poured a cup of tea and handed it to Su Ming, saying with a smile.

"Su Ming, how about trying my treasured snow tea?"

“Good tea!”

Su Ming took a sip and said in admiration.

"As long as you like it, I'll give you some later!"

Long Chen poured a cup for Long Ying while chatting with Su Ming.

"Then I won't be polite."

Su Ming did not refuse. Although having principles is a good thing, being too unkind is not a good thing either.

"Su Ming, I remember Su Mulong said at the beginning that you are not married yet, right?"

Long Chen asked Su Ming with a smile on his face.

"Yes, but I won't consider it for now."

Su Ming's eyelids twitched and he replied alertly.

Would Long Chen introduce him again? He should be very clear that he is Long Bai's man.

Long Chen was not angry when he saw Su Ming evading, he just said to him.

"Su Ming, to be honest, I don't mind you standing on Long Bai's side. After all, you are under her command. But seriously, your great-grandfather Su Mulong is a really dishonest guy."

"what?"

Su Ming was also startled when he heard Long Chen say that Su Mulong was dishonest.

He understood Su Mulong's temper and character very well, and no one had ever said that he was not a decent person.

"Don't think I'm being rude. Su Mulong and I have known each other for hundreds of years, and we have a very good relationship. We also wanted to form an alliance, but that old bastard Su Mulong is simply too much. He has a good son but he hides him, and uses a crooked one to fool me."

Long Chen became angrier and angrier as he spoke.

Su Ming listened to Long Chen's words with a very strange expression on his face.

Could it be that Long Chen was talking about Su Yuan?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. As Su Yuan was the great-grandson of the family, Su Mulong must have arranged many blind dates for that guy before.

If that was the case, he could understand why Long Chen was so angry. Su Yuan's reputation was indeed too bad, especially the last concert he spent tens of billions of dollars on, which directly made headlines.

"Ahem, Master Long Chen, calm down."

Su Ming tried to persuade him awkwardly.

Long Chen did not continue to hold Su Mulong, but said with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about those disappointing things. Su Ming, what do you think of my great-granddaughter? I mentioned her to you outside the City Lord's Mansion."

Long Chen asked with a smile.

"Huh? This."

When Su Ming heard Long Chen's words, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

This guy went around in circles and finally came back to me. It turns out that the old man is the most experienced.

Long Ying, who was standing by, blushed slightly when she saw Long Chen arranging a blind date for her.

However, she did not object. Long Ying knew very well that to be able to serve as a general at such a young age was truly a genius among geniuses, and was unique in the long history of the Federation.

And the most important point is that she knew that Su Ming was under the command of Long Bai, and Long Bai was also her aunt.

Long Ying knew better than anyone how strict Long Bai was, so Su Ming was definitely the real deal, much better than those ugly people introduced. Moreover, for people of their status, finding someone who was a good match with them in terms of character and talent was like winning the lottery.

At this time, Long Chen saw Su Ming hesitating, so he said with a smile.

"Do you think that my great-granddaughter is not worthy of you? Let me tell you, my great-granddaughter is a genius who graduated from the Command Department of the Imperial Court Academy. She has broken many historical records of the Command Department of the Imperial Court Academy. Now she is the commander of the 14th Legion. The entire legion is under her command.

"That was not what I meant."

"Then do you think there is an age difference? In fact, Long Ying is only in her forties. Although she is a little older than you, she is a third-generation new human, and she has also been injected with IV gene drugs, so her life span is very long. This difference should not be a big deal."

"Lord Long Chen, that..."

Su Ming was also a little confused about how to explain it.

"What's wrong? Do you have something to hide? Or maybe you didn't get injected with the IV gene drug? I can give you one."

Long Chen asked Su Ming.

"No, I was injected with the V-type gene drug."

Su Ming replied subconsciously.

"V-type gene medicine?"

When Long Chen and Long Ying heard Su Ming's words, they looked at him in shock.

Su Ming's expression froze, and he immediately realized that he seemed to have leaked the secret.

Fortunately, with Long Chen's identity, it was not a big deal if he knew it, so he replied with gritted teeth.

"Ah."

"Has Xiguang Laboratory developed it successfully?"

Long Chen asked excitedly.

Although Long Chen has already been injected with Type IV gene potion, he is also very eager for Type V potion. After all, he is very old and his life span is almost over. If Xiguang Laboratory really develops Type V gene potion, then he can inject it later and greatly extend his life span.

"It has just been developed, and I am the first one to test it."

Su Ming replied awkwardly.

"it is good!"

The more Long Chen looked at Su Ming, the more he liked him.

"General Su Ming is really amazing. He is the first one to try the medicine."

Long Ying praised with some surprise.

Although V-type gene medicine is a good thing, generally speaking, few people dare to take the risk to be the first to try it.

Su Ming listened to Long Ying's praise, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. If he had not had to, he would not have taken the risk.

At this time, Deputy Corps Commander Abik came over hurriedly and greeted with a serious expression.

"Lord Long Chen!"

"whats the matter?"

Long Chen raised his head and looked at Abike and asked.

"There's a problem ahead. Scans show a large number of merchant ships stuck ahead."

Abike said to Long Chen in a deep voice.

When Su Ming heard this, his brows twitched slightly. Sure enough, everything would not go so smoothly.

At this time, Long Ying spoke with some doubt.

"Grandpa, there must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. There has never been any problem with the Federation's route to St. Jox."

"Let's go to the central room and take a look."

Long Chen said calmly.

"I'll go and see it with you."

Su Ming also stood up.

"it is good!"

Long Chen nodded.

A moment later, Su Ming and his companions arrived at the central control room.

Long Ying gave orders directly to the operators.

"Turn on the optical imaging device and display the captured image!"

"Yes!"

The operator executed the command immediately.

Swish!
A holographic image emerged, and in the vast starry sky ahead, different types of transport ships and interstellar cruise ships were suspended.

If you look closely, you can see that the logos of different federal companies are painted on these ships.

"They are all merchant ships. Switch the communication channel to the public communication channel."

Long Ying took a look and said.

"understand!"

The operator immediately adjusted the communication channel.

Soon, angry voices rang out.

"Brothers, we can't go any further!"

“Those two sons of a bitch, the Kingdom of Apocalypse and the Dark Star Empire, actually blatantly violated the treaty and attacked all merchant ships in the waterway!”

"Damn it, I tried to argue with them, but they started shooting at me. If I hadn't run fast, I would have died right there."

"The people of St. Jox don't care?"

"What the hell, the people of Saint Jox said that they only care about the star sea in their own area and don't care about anything beyond their scope. Let's go to the Federation."

"The Federation has no time to manage this place now."

"What should we do? How can we continue this business?"

Su Ming listened to the discussions of these people in the public channel and roughly understood what was going on.

At this time, Long Chen's expression became gloomy.

Long Ying looked at Long Chen and asked respectfully.

"Grandpa Zeng, what should we do now?"

"Humph, they are really arrogant to the extreme. How can they bully the Federation whenever they want? Remove the disguise of the ship and teach them a lesson."

Long Chen had no intention of pampering Tianqi and Dark Star.

"understand!"

Long Ying responded immediately.

In the starry sky!
The legendary star destroyer Grey Angel and the surrounding level 5 ships all removed their camouflage and appeared in the dark starry sky.

At this time, the scanning devices of those merchant ships and interstellar cruise ships all popped up big green dots. Everyone was startled, and then shouted in surprise.

"Look! Federation ships!"

"Wait, what's the lead ship?"

"It looks like the Star Destroyer Grey Angel!"

"Wow, am I dreaming? It really is a gray angel!"

"We are saved this time!"

Just as everyone was discussing with great joy, Long Ying's voice was heard in the communication channel.

"Everyone be quiet. I am the commander of the 14th Legion of the Federal Government, Long Ying. All ships must obey my command and continue to sail forward to lure out the enemy ships. I will seek justice for you when the time comes!"

"Ok!"

Everyone responded excitedly.

Swish!

The merchant ships seemed to have taken stimulants, each running at full power and rushing forward.

At this time, the Karado Star Sea area is ahead.

Inside the central control room of the Tier 5 battleship Cardo.

A 2.3-meter-tall man with a fierce face and a cigar in his mouth sat in the command chair.

A communication image was projected in front of him.

An older transport captain spoke in horror.

"You can't do this, the Federation won't let you go!"

"Haha, did you hear what he said?"

Dakari asked with a creepy smile.

"General, he's teasing you!"

The non-commissioned officers at the scene all laughed out loud.

"Give him a ride. In your next life, be more careful and don't be reborn in the Federation."

Dakari raised his hand and waved sarcastically.

The Level 5 battleship Kadu suddenly shot out a dazzling beam of light. In an instant, a Level 4 transport ship in the distance was pierced and exploded.

Dakari and the others looked at the exploding fireworks, and each of them had a bright smile on their face.

But at this moment, gray dots appeared on the scanning device.

The operator reported immediately.

"Lord Dakari, we have detected a large number of merchant ships and interstellar cruise ships. The Federation is desperate."

"Oh, they really don't know how to live or die. In that case, let's help them! Drive the ships over there, and before those idiots from the Apocalypse Kingdom can react, we'll kill them. These are all fat pieces of meat.

Dakari said with a smile.

"understand!"

The subordinates present all responded excitedly.

Unfortunately, just as they were gathering ships to prepare to meet them, a communication request popped up.

The operator was also startled when he saw it, and then spoke.

"General Dakari, we have received a communication request from those guys from the Kingdom of Apocalypse."

"Pick up."

Dakari said with a dark face.

"Yes!"

The operator picked up the phone immediately.

At this time, a man wearing a white military uniform, with acne all over his face and looking very shrewd appeared and said with a smile.

"Dakari, this is really too mean of you. There are so many fish and you didn't even call us. Are you planning to eat them all by yourself?"

"Amdo, you're overthinking it. I'm going to call you now."

"Okay, let's do it together!"

Amdo replied with a smile, then cut off the communication.

When Dakari saw that the communication was cut off, he started cursing.

"Damn, these guys from the Apocalypse Kingdom are really dogs, their noses are really sharp!"

"General, what should we do now?"

The subordinate present asked hesitantly.

"What else can we do? We can only go together."

Dakari replied angrily.

Soon, two level 5 battleships and four level 4 battleships gathered and sailed towards the densely packed transport ships.

At this time, the transport ships suddenly stopped.

Inside the central control room of the Kadu.

A subordinate reported to Dakari.

"General, something seems to be wrong. All the merchant ships have stopped."

"So what? Can it possibly cause any more waves?"

Dakari was not moved at all, and there was a look of contempt on his face.

At this time, many transport ships and interstellar cruise ships made way for a wide path. Then the dark starry sky fluctuated, and the legendary star destroyer Grey Angel and other ships emerged.

Instantly, the scanning devices of the Cardo and other ships issued a shrill alarm.

"Warning: Legendary Star Destroyer Grey Angel detected!"

"General! The Grey Angel!"

One of the subordinates shouted in extreme fear.

Dakari felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. The cigar in his mouth fell to the ground and he roared with a pale face.

"Run!"

It's a pity it's too late.

The Grey Angel's main gun burst into brilliant light.

Now!
A black beam of light filled with destructive power shot out, and the starry sky along the way was violently distorted, as if it was about to be torn apart.

boom!
The Kadu was hit instantly.

The energy barrier was destroyed in an instant and the ship was hit!

The sun flashing with black arcs of lightning rose up with a loud bang and completely engulfed the Kadu.

At this time, the main guns of the Plika and other ships also lit up, and they concentrated their fire on another Apocalypse Divine Kingdom Level 5 battleship (heavy defense type)!
Bright beams of light attacked.

boom!
The level 5 battleship was hit instantly, its energy barrier collapsed, and its hull was partially damaged.

However, it was not sunk, but immediately turned around and tried to escape with the remaining ships.

At this time, rows of launching ports on the Grey Angel's hull opened!

Swipe!

Missiles were fired all over the sky.

Rumble~
In an instant, the escaping level 5 battleship and four level 4 battleships were all covered by firepower and were sunk without any surprise.

Inside the central control room of the legendary Star Destroyer Grey Angel.

Long Ying reported to Long Chen.

"Grandpa Zeng, the enemy has been completely wiped out!"

"Very good, keep going."

Long Chen had no intention of cleaning up the mess.

"understand!"

Long Ying nodded and replied.

"As expected of the Grey Angel, it's really strong!"

Su Ming exclaimed with deep emotion.

Just one shot destroyed the level 5 battleship, and one round of firepower coverage cleared the area directly. The firepower is really amazing.

"It's okay, it's just a trial run."

Long Chen said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Ok!"

Su Ming nodded.

Half a day later.

The legendary star destroyer Grey Angel led the fleet into the Fallen Cherry Star Sea and flew towards the Star of Saint Jox at an extremely fast speed.

Su Ming and Long Chen stood on the observation deck, looking at the starry sky in the distance, and then he saw a very shocking scene.

In the distance, there is a meteorite belt that seems to have no end.

“So many meteorites?”

Su Ming spoke in surprise.

"It's spectacular, isn't it? These are all pulled here manually."

Long Chen said with a smile.

"Artificial? Such a big deal?"

"Well, Saint Jox created a meteorite belt here, and then built it into a meteorite defense belt. Don't underestimate these meteorite belts. They are filled with various defense weapons, including planetary strategic weapons!"

“That’s really generous.”

Su Ming said in admiration.

"There's a saying in St. Jox that anything that can be bought with money is not valuable. At the same time, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem either!"

Long Chen said with a smile.

"They are quite arrogant, but they do have the capital to do so."

Su Ming responded with a smile.

At this time, Long Ying came over and spoke respectfully.

"Grandpa Zeng, it's almost time, we should change boats!"

"Ah."

Long Chen nodded slightly.

"Change ship? Aren't we going in on the Grey Angel?"

Su Ming was slightly startled when he heard this and asked.

"No, we'll go in on a merchant ship. St. Jox has a rule that no large fleet is allowed to enter, so as not to threaten their safety. Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The most important thing is that if the Grey Angel docks, it will be troublesome if something unexpected happens. It's safer to park the ship in the outer space, so that it can be put into combat at any time if there is a problem. Also, the situation has been unstable recently, so it's better to keep a low profile."

Long Chen briefly explained it to Su Ming.

"Well, then, would it be dangerous for us to sneak into St. Jox on a merchant ship?"

Su Ming asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, there will be no danger! St. Jox is still very safe, and we are going to our own territory. I also have industries and power in St. Jox."

"Oh I got it."

“Also, your Su family also has power and territory in St. Jox.”

Long Chen reached out and patted Su Ming on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"It seems so."

Su Ming replied with a silent smile.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go transfer to a merchant ship. We haven't been to St. Jox for many years."

Long Chen said in a very good mood.

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded.

Long Chen then led Su Ming, Long Ying, and a group of personal guards towards the mobile platform.

in the starry sky.

An inconspicuous level 4 transport ship approached the Grey Angel.

click!
The two ships docked successfully.

Long Chen led Su Ming and the others onto the transport ship and headed towards the observation deck.

The transport ship then disconnected and headed towards the meteorite defense zone.

Soon Su Ming and his friends arrived at the observation deck.

Through the optical imaging device, we can clearly see the meteorite belt getting closer and closer.

At this time, a Lancer and two Flame Knights flew out of the meteorite, and the three mechas led the transport ship towards the inside of the meteorite belt.

Su Ming looked at the meteorites passing by. With the naked eye, he could not see anything special about these meteorites.

It didn't take long for the transport ship to pass through the asteroid belt, and then saw a very shocking scene.

In the vast sea of ​​stars, there are floating prismatic mechanical fortresses, umbrella-shaped large space-based weapons, and countless fleets and patrol mechas, forming a huge defense line. Behind the defense line is a shell-shaped fortress with a diameter of thousands of kilometers, which is densely covered with countless gun barrels and launch ports.

"This is?"

Su Ming asked with a frown on his face.

"The second line of defense!"

Long Chen said with a smile.

"This is really impressive! This defensive lineup is no worse than Black Flame Star!"

Su Ming said with some emotion.

"If we only talk about the quantity and quality of weapons, the Black Flame Star Defense Line is slightly inferior."

Long Chen smiled and said.

At this time, a small ship flew over and then docked with the transport ship. Some inspectors boarded the ship to verify the passage procedures and check the items loaded on the ship.

However, the inspection was quickly passed, and the transport ship passed the defense line smoothly and continued to fly inside.

Time passes by second by second.

Soon the transport ship sailed near St. Jox, and Su Ming looked at it from afar.

I saw a disc-shaped planet coming into view. The whole planet had been specially transformed, with the upper part covered by a special hemispherical transparent crystal. A gyroscope-shaped fountain seemed to be floating in the center, and there were countless buildings, green plants, and winding sky tracks around the bottom. The gyroscope-shaped side skirts were large waterfalls, flowing continuously. The whole planet was extremely prosperous and beautiful.

"Is this Saint Jox? It looks very similar to Celestial City."

Su Ming said with some emotion.

"The City of Heaven was built by the Heinte family. They imitated St. Jox, but the scale of the City of Heaven is not comparable to that of St. Jox."

Long Chen explained to Su Mingpu.

"Um"

Su Ming nodded.

"Did your great-grandfather Su Mulong tell you about Saint Jox?"

"No, I don't know much about St. Jox."

"Let me explain it to you this way. Saint Jox is a very special existence. On the surface, they are a survival force sandwiched between Dark Star, Apocalypse and the Federation. But in fact, they are far more powerful than you see, especially the Holy Covenant in Saint Jox, which is an existence that can shake the three major forces."

Long Chen said in a deep voice.

"The covenant?"

Su Ming asked with a frown on his face.

"The so-called Holy Covenant is a special organization founded by all the capital giants who created Saint Jox. This organization is usually very loose. But they have a special agreement. Once Saint Jox is threatened, all members must take action! If I describe it this way, you may not have any idea. Let me give you a simple example. Your Su family is also a member. In a sense, you are also one of the umbrellas of Saint Jox."

Long Chen said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Been taught a lesson."

After Su Ming heard Long Chen's words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

“Of course, the relationship between your Su family and Saint Jox has become somewhat distant. After all, your focus has shifted to the Federation, but there is a saying that goes, even if you break your bones, you still have your tendons.”

Long Chen explained to Su Ming.

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded.

"Of course, in addition to this Holy Covenant, we need to pay attention to the seven giants of Saint Jox. Under normal circumstances, Saint Jox is managed by these seven families. The most influential person among them is the patriarch of the First Morris Family, Mokedo. He is a person whose talent is not inferior to my father. I am not exaggerating at all. This is what my father said."

Long Chen said to Su Ming.

"understand!"

Su Ming took note of it silently.

At this time, the ship gradually approached St. Jox, and Su Ming discovered that there was a protruding ring in the middle of the St. Jox star, on which were located a number of independent giant ports.

Different ships dock at different ports.

"We are now flying to Port A8, which is my private port. This port was originally given to the Long family by St. Jox."

Long Chen then said to Su Ming.

"St. Jox is really generous. This port should be able to make a fortune during peacetime, right?"

Su Ming looked at the countless merchant ships flying towards the port and said with deep emotion.

"Almost. By the way, the port over there belongs to your Su family."

Long Chen pointed into the distance.

Su Ming looked at the port that Long Chen pointed out with great curiosity. It was a medium-sized port that looked pretty good, but it was still not as good as the Long family's port.

"If I remember correctly, the person in charge of your Su family in St. Jox is Su Mulong's younger brother, Su Muxuan."

Long Chen said to Su Ming.

"Well, I'll visit again if I have the chance."

Su Ming nodded and said.

At this time, the transport ship began to slowly land at Port A8.

"Let's go!"

Long Chen said to Su Ming.

"it is good!"

Su Ming nodded.

A moment later, the transport ship docked steadily at the berth in the port.

The exit is open.

Long Chen walked down with Su Ming and others.

At this time, an old man wearing a white shirt, black suit, with wrinkles on his face, came up with a group of subordinates and greeted respectfully.

"Master, you are here!"

"Well, Long Xi, try not to let anyone know that we are coming to St. Jox."

Long Chen said simply.

Although Long Chen was not afraid of being found out, it was better to have less trouble than more.

"Yes, sir, please get in the car."

Long Xi responded respectfully.

Long Chen and the others immediately boarded an extended black hovercraft.

The black hovercraft drove away.

Su Ming looked out the car window at the streets outside. All the buildings along the street looked very high-end and full of art.

The shop windows along the way display a wide variety of merchandise.

The people walking on the streets are dressed very fashionably and luxuriously.

Advertisements featuring Miss Hillis and other popular stars were played on numerous virtual advertising spots.

"It's so prosperous. I feel like even the Eye of the World can't compete with this place."

Su Ming said with some emotion.

"In the Kingdom of Sabasque, only the royal family is wealthy, but in St. Jox, if you throw a stone, the worst person you'll hit is a multi-millionaire."

Long Chen said with a smile.

"It's so rich."

"Of course not everyone here is rich. There are two classes here."

Long Chen said to Su Ming.

"Two classes?"

Su Ming replied with some surprise.

"Look carefully at the service staff in the shops on the street. Do they wear special collars around their necks?"

"Yes."

"That's the difference. All those who wear collars are lower class people. To put it bluntly, they are slaves. They have no human rights."

Long Chen explained to Su Ming.

“I thought this place believed in democracy.”

When Su Ming heard this, he frowned slightly and said.

"Yes, I believe in it, but the privileged class always needs people to serve them, otherwise how can they stay so high and mighty? Of course, this has nothing to do with us."

Long Chen replied calmly.

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded and replied.

At this time, the hovercraft drove to a huge manor. The entire manor covered hundreds of acres. You must know that this is St. Jox, a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

From this manor, Su Ming could also see that Long Chen’s financial resources were truly extraordinary.

But it's normal to think about it. He is doing federal business and has been doing it for hundreds of years. He must have become very rich.

At this time, the gate of the manor opened, and the black hovercraft drove directly in, and finally stopped in front of a white villa.

Maids with mechanical collars around their necks hurried over and lined up in two rows waiting.

Then Long Xi came over and respectfully opened the car door.

Long Chen, Su Ming and the others walked down.

"Welcome home, master!"

Many maids bowed their heads and shouted respectfully.

Long Chen said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Let's have a quick lunch break, and then we'll visit Mokto in the afternoon."

"it is good."

Su Ming nodded.

Long Chen led Su Ming inside, and soon they arrived at the magnificent restaurant.

In the middle of the restaurant sits an oval gold-thread wooden table, covered with a white tablecloth and filled with exquisite dishes.

Pretty maids were waiting respectfully on both sides of the dining table.

"Sit anywhere!"

Long Chen smiled and walked to the main seat and sat down.

"Ah."

Su Ming walked to the seat to the left of Long Chen and sat down.

"See if these dishes are appetizing. If not, I'll ask the chef to redo them."

"No, it's fine."

"Then eat more. The negotiations this afternoon will probably be a fierce battle. Mokoto will not let us withdraw the pledged resources easily."

Long Chen said to Su Ming.

"Master Long Chen, do you think Saint Jox will turn against us?"

Su Ming asked after pondering for a while.

"Don't worry. Although the Federation is in decline and in a very dangerous situation, there is a saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. They don't have the guts to turn against us, and of course we can't turn against them either."

"That's a bit troublesome. We can't fall out with each other, so there will probably be a lot of arguments."

"You're right. This is the most troublesome thing because we can't afford to delay it, and if it takes too long, things will easily go wrong."

Long Chen said while eating.

"Then what impact will our withdrawal of pledged resources have on St. Jox?"

Su Ming pondered for a while and asked, trying to see if he could find a breakthrough.

"You may have misunderstood. When we withdraw the pledged resources, it does not cause an impact on them, but it takes away half of their lives."

Long Chen sighed and said.
