"Basically all the elites of the Federation participated."
Wang Hai briefly explained the situation to Su Mo.
"So what's going on now?"
Su Mo asked after hearing this.
When Wang Hai and others heard Su Mo's words, their expressions suddenly stiffened, and everyone became somewhat silent.
When Su Mo saw this situation, his heart sank and the smile gradually faded from his face.
For a while, the atmosphere became a little heavy and depressing.
At this time, Wang Hai calmly said to Su Mo: "Nearly half of them were sacrificed and countless others were injured or disabled."
Although Su Mo had been prepared for it, his heart suddenly thumped. He didn't expect it to be so tragic.
Wang Hai saw that Su Mo was silent and looked a little gloomy, so he comforted Su Mo in turn.
"Su Mo doesn't need to think so much. Since we chose to participate in the recruitment of Star Ring City, we are ready to sacrifice. There is a saying that death and the battlefield are the best destinations for soldiers. Besides, we are now
If you know what you're doing, it's all worth it."
"Um."
Su Mo took a long breath and forced a smile.
"Stop talking about that, are you free?"
Wang Hai asked Su Mo.
"have."
Su Mo replied neatly.
"Then let's get together. We have just completed the second round of operations and are now in a rest period. The third round of tasks has not been arranged yet, so there is still some time. Otherwise, no one knows whether we can come back alive next time we perform the task.
.”
"OK!"
Su Mo agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, let's go prepare, Star Destroyer Phantom Hanami."
Wang Hai was also very happy when he saw that Su Mo agreed.
"Has the Star Destroyer Phantom Flower been sent here too?"
Su Mo was also a little surprised.
"yes!"
"no problem."
Su Mo nodded.
.......
A few hours later.
Su Mo arrived at Port No. 3. From a distance, he saw the docked Star Destroyer Phantom Flower, but the entire ship looked scarred.
But it can also be seen that this ship has experienced a lot of baptism of war.
At this time, a large number of federal maintenance engineers are working overtime to perform maintenance.
Su Mo walked towards the main entrance of Phantom Flower and bumped into many federal officers. They recognized Su Mo at a glance.
They each saluted and greeted happily.
"Master Su Mo! You are here."
...
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Su Mo smiled and responded to each officer.
At this moment, a rather surprising voice sounded.
"Su Mo!"
Su Mo turned around and looked over, his expression also very surprised, and he spoke.
"Lin Ming!"
Lin Ming walked up to Su Mo and stretched out his strong hands, hugged him tightly, and said very happily.
"I didn't expect that we would see each other one day."
"Don't say that, but why are you here? I remember that you didn't join the regular formation of Star Ring City. I thought you had returned to the Lin family."
Su Mo asked in confusion while being excited.
"I was not stationed on Ceres before, but later retreated to Revaklis Base. Originally, I was going to return to Earth, but later due to various reasons, I gave up and followed the federal formation."
Lin Ming briefly explained the situation to Su Mo.
When Su Mo heard Lin Ming's words, he probably guessed the reason.
With Lin Ming's character, it was impossible for him to watch his companions, who were going through life and death, follow the Ring City to the Negative Star, while he returned to Earth and hid behind.
Of course, Lin Ming knew very well that he was choosing a path of no return, but he still embarked on it without hesitation.
"Does father know about this?"
Su Mo pondered and asked.
"I don't know, I made a temporary decision. But I asked someone to bring the letter back. I believe my father will understand me."
Lin Ming's expression became increasingly depressed.
Su Mo looked at Lin Ming who was silent and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, father will be proud of you!"
Lin Ming heard Su Mo's words and said with a somewhat moved expression on his resolute face.
"Really?"
Su Mo looked at the half-brother in front of him, nodded solemnly and replied.
"must!"
"Well, I just can't stay with them. I hope they are okay."
"You don't have to worry about them. If there are no accidents, they have already evacuated with Lord Geli."
"That's great, let's stop talking here and get on the ship!"
Lin Ming smiled brightly after hearing Su Mo's words.
"good!"
Su Mo nodded.
Not long after, Su Mo and Lin Ming logged into Phantom Flower while chatting.
Soon, they arrived at the lounge hall of the Phantom Flower Center.
I saw that the place was full of tables, and many federal officers and soldiers had already entered, making it very lively.
Some even came with hanging bottles.
At this time, Diya saw Su Mo and Lin Ming, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she led the people up.
"Young, isn't this Mr. Su Mo? It's really rare to see him!"
"Lady Tia."
Su Mo turned to look over and replied with a smile, it was really a great pleasure to see an old friend here.
"Just call me Xiaoya. I don't dare to use the word "adult"! You said the last time we had dinner together was how many years ago."
Dia asked with a smile.
"It was a long time ago, I can't remember clearly."
"If you don't remember, you'll have to accept the punishment later. You won't come home until you're drunk today."
"no problem."
Su Mo agreed cheerfully.
"Lord Su Mo..."
At this time, Jiang Hanqiu, who was following Tiya, suddenly shouted.
"Jiang Hanqiu, what's wrong?"
Su Mo also saw that Jiang Hanqiu seemed to have something going on.
"Master Su Mo, Xiao Wen and the others seem to be following you. Are they also in the Star Ring City?"
"Yes, I have informed them and they will come soon."
"Really."
Jiang Hanqiu couldn't help but smile brightly.
Tia turned to Jiang Hanqiu and said with a smile: "Go pick them up."
"Okay, I'll go there first."
Jiang Hanqiu left in a hurry.
Tia looked at Jiang Hanqiu's back and said to Su Mo: "Since you took Xiao Wen and others away from the Federation, Jiang Hanqiu and Xiao Wen and others have not seen each other again for eight hundred years."
"My bad, my bad."
Su Mo smiled bitterly and apologized.
Wang Hai also came over at this time and said to Su Mo and others.
"Stop standing here chatting, everyone has almost arrived, let's get in and start!"
"good."
Su Mo nodded in response.
Immediately, Su Mo and others walked towards the main table. Along the way, many federal officers greeted Su Mo warmly.
Su Mo looked at the familiar faces and waved in response.
At this time, he also noticed that there were many fewer people in the crowd. Bowls were placed on many tables, but no one took a seat.
Those vacant positions should be for the sacrificed companions.
Soon, Su Mo and others were seated at the main table. Tia stood up and raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
