Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

After all the captains had received their equipment, Augustus left, leaving the rest to Haru.

Haru's bodyguards stood at the edge of the square, dressed in dark blue uniforms with short swords at their waists.

He called out to the captains, "Gentlemen, please follow me. The supply depot is fully stocked with supplies."

After saying that, he turned and walked deeper into the base.

The captains followed behind, walking quickly, eager to fill their space bags.

The supply warehouse next to the base is one of the most important buildings, and it is heavily guarded, with many magic-powered mechs patrolling around it.

The guards took three keys from the guards at three different locations, inserted them into the locks simultaneously, and then opened the gate.

The door was pushed open, revealing the darkness inside, and at the same time, the magical machinery inside began scanning for the person who had entered.

After confirming that the person had arrived, the indoor lights automatically turned on.

The dim light shone into the warehouse, illuminating the mountains of pure magic crystals.

The magic crystal is light blue, about the size of a fist, and has light flowing on its inner surface.

They were piled on the ground, on the shelves, and in the wooden crates.

The warehouse was huge, several hundred square meters, with magic crystals piled up like small mountains.

The value of these pure magic crystals alone is equivalent to that of a city!

The captains' eyes lit up.

This scene was both breathtaking and incredibly beautiful.

To save space in their space bags, the captains did not choose to buy boxes of magic crystals.

After all, the box takes up some space, so it's more practical to just fill it with magic crystals.

They opened their spatial bags and aimed them at the pile of magic crystals.

Driven by mental energy, the magic crystals were sucked into the bag opening like water, making a gurgling sound.

The bag wasn't big, but it could never be filled to the brim.

When one bag is full, switch to a second bag; when the second bag is full, switch to a third bag.

Each captain has five storage bags, four of which are used to store magic crystals and one for living supplies.

After filling all four bags, the magic crystals had been piled up quite a bit, and the captains patted their respective space bags with satisfaction.

The magic crystals in each bag are enough for them to live a carefree life.

After loading the magic crystals, the guards led them to the supply warehouse next door, which contained compressed food.

The boxes were stacked high, with the words "Supervised by the Goblin Empire" printed on them.

The captains opened the box, inside were dark brown cubes wrapped in oil paper.

Various compressed biscuits, each about the size of a thumb, can expand into a large bowl when soaked in water.

There are also other compressed vegetables, compressed canned meat, and the like, to ensure the astronauts' nutrition and health.

The captains stuffed the boxes directly into the fifth space bag, filling it to the brim.

As for the water source...

Each spaceship has a water tank and a wastewater recycling system, allowing the goblins to purify their urine directly, making them completely self-sufficient...

...

After loading the supplies, the captains, accompanied by their personal guards, entered the palace, where His Majesty the Emperor personally saw them off.

The banquet hall of the palace was brightly lit.

The long table was arranged in a U-shape, covered with a white tablecloth, and set with silver cutlery and wine glasses.

Huge tapestries hung on the walls of the hall, depicting the achievements of the past emperors of the Goblin Empire.

A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting a soft light on everyone's face.

Five hundred astronauts, dressed in dark blue spacesuits, sat on either side of a long table.

They held their helmets to their chests, their hair was messy, and some of their hair was flattened by the helmets, with a few strands sticking up.

They sat upright, their hands on their knees, not daring to move.

Many people were entering the palace for the first time, sitting in such a large banquet hall for the first time, and seeing so many shiny tableware for the first time.

Emperor Haru stood before the main seat.

He wore a dark blue robe embroidered with gold patterns, a crown on his head, and a scepter in his hand.

Behind him stood several ministers, dressed in various official robes, with polite smiles on their faces.

Haru raised his glass.

"Gentlemen, I raise a toast to you all."

His voice echoed through the banquet hall.

The astronauts hurriedly picked up their glasses, some spilling the wine in their haste, while others downed it in one gulp.

A young captain stood up, raising his glass. "Your Majesty, we toast you."

The others also stood up, raising their glasses, the clinking of the glasses creating a clear and pleasant sound.

Haru took a sip of his drink, put down his glass, and glanced at the long table, looking at the young faces.

Some of them were younger than his son, some still had a childlike face, but their eyes shone with light.

He had seen that light before, when he was young, when he first ascended the throne.

"You are warriors who have expanded the territory for the Supreme God, and pioneers who have explored the stars for the goblin world!"

"Every flight you make, every discovery you make, will be recorded in history, and your names will be remembered forever by future generations!"

"You...are all heroes!"

Haru's voice was deep, and every word struck the hearts of the astronauts.

One of the captains had tears in his eyes. He lowered his head and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. The captain next to him patted him on the shoulder.

Haru continued, "Even if you leave the goblin world, your families will be proud of you. They will receive the best treatment; the Empire will never mistreat the family of any hero!"

"Your task is arduous, your mission is glorious. You can draw upon the resources of the Empire at any time, and the Empire's army will provide you with support at any time."

"You are not alone; you are the vanguard of the entire Empire, the entire Supreme Divine Court. The Empire is your strong support!"

The astronauts shouted in unison.

"Serve the Supreme God! Serve the Goblin Empire!"

The sound was so loud that the crystal chandelier swayed slightly.

Haru raised his glass and took another sip. He smiled, but his eyes didn't.

The Empire funded the construction of the spaceships, allocated resources for training astronauts, and provided the magic crystals and compressed food in the supply depots.

But the supreme god only saw Augustus, and only remembered Augustus.

The divine favor was given to the Supreme Divine Court, and the Imperial Family received nothing.

This won't do. The empire needs to make a greater contribution and achieve feats that the supreme god can see!

He put down his wine glass and sat back down in his chair.

The ministers gathered around and poured him wine. He picked up the cup and took another sip.

After the banquet began, the astronauts began to enjoy the delicacies that combined the best culinary skills of the entire empire.

The banquet hall was filled with the aroma of food and the laughter of the astronauts.
