Ships fell one after another, and the port seemed particularly lively today.
In the port unloading area, businessmen selling energy crystal ore gathered together. They took out all the goods and piled them together, waiting for buyers to come and pick up the goods.
While waiting, they chatted with each other.
"Oh, I sold it at a premium of 4.2 times the standard price and lost a lot of money!"
"Okay, stop complaining, I'm even worse off, I'm 3.5 times better! And I ship more goods."
"To be honest, I almost want to break the contract."
"Bullshit, do you still want to do business in the City of Stars after breaking the contract? And that guy has the ability to raise the price so high under pressure. You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. If you break his contract, be careful of being punished.
.”
"It makes sense. You see many Imperial Army and Alliance high-ranking officials are squatting nearby, waiting to catch that guy. Do you think the other side dares to come?"
"Never mind him. We will fulfill the contract when he comes. It would be better if he didn't come. He broke the contract on his own."
"That's good, we will definitely make a profit without losing any money!"
...
There was a commotion in the crowd not far away, and those who were watching the excitement quickly ducked and got out of the way, with a look of fear on their faces.
I saw the Prime Minister of the Gaumotos Empire, Siko, walking in with a gloomy face and a general with a vicious reputation.
"Oh my god, why did you bring this evil star here?"
"Keep your voice down, this is obviously just to deal with people."
"Look over there, General Wuqi from the Yamak Free State is here too."
"Hey, isn't that a senior officer of the federal GT department?"
"This time it's interesting. All countries are sending personnel. That profiteer is dead."
"That's right, kill that profiteer and raise the price for nothing. Just because the price of energy series items has gone up, I have to eat a meal today, and the price of the meal has gone up."
...
There are more and more people watching the excitement, and everyone is extremely excited.
At this time, Su Mo and Sun Duoxiang were also among the crowd of onlookers.
"Boss, everyone is almost here. When will the show start?"
Sun Duoxiang asked impatiently.
"It's almost here, wait patiently."
Su Mo replied with a smile.
Time passes little by little.
Those who gathered around to watch the show were extremely patient.
"How long has it been? Why hasn't anyone come yet? Could it be that I'm scared?"
"That shouldn't happen, right?"
...
While everyone was discussing, An Jie was seen walking from a distance wearing a V-generation mechanical armor and leading a prison sergeant.
People I encountered along the way gave way and looked puzzled as to why the people from Star Ring City were here.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, An Jie led people to each businessman.
When Xi Ke and others saw this scene, their brows suddenly furrowed and they had a particularly bad feeling.
The more you worry about the fact, the better it will come.
Anjie ignored everyone's strange looks and said to the delivery merchants: "These are the goods I want?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
"Damn, it was actually ordered by an official from the City of Stars."
"Do you think this can still lead to a fight?"
"Hit me, who dares to cause trouble for him?"
...
At that time, the high-level officials from various countries who were present looked like they were constipated and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
An Jie turned to look at the crowd and shouted coldly: "What are you looking at!"
For a moment, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, and the explosive keg turned into a farce.
"It's done, let's go."
Su Mo looked at the people who were leaving in dejection and said in a very good mood.
"OK."
Sun Duoxiang agreed with a smile.
The next day, board the Shadow.
Sun Duoxiang quietly carried boxes of sealed energy crystals back to the ship and put them all into a secret warehouse.
"Boss, it's done. All the goods are here."
Sun Duoxiang said while claiming credit.
"Okay, let's go and do your work."
Su Mo waved his hand and asked Sun Duoxiang to lead people to evacuate the warehouse.
"good."
Sun Duoxiang didn't say any nonsense, and left immediately with the people.
Before Su Mo could speak, the counterfeit owner, the Devourer, couldn't wait to get out of his body and floated above all the energy crystals. The whole body shook like a heart, then enlarged and differentiated, extending out tentacles, which penetrated each one.
Pack the container.
It began to frantically extract the power of all energy crystals.
Ten minutes later, the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, floated back again.
"How's it going? How much did you charge?"
Su Mo asked expectantly. He spent all his money to buy these energy crystals.
"I have 15% energy now, so I can barely make do!"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied calmly.
"Okay, let's make do with it for now, and we'll think of a solution later."
After Su Mo heard this, the corner of his mouth kept twitching, and he recharged to 14%, and it was easier to recharge in the early stage.
"Um"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, responded in a low voice.
...
One month later.
Federal, Imperial, and Military Interstellar Airport.
Inside the Shadow, Su Mo specially put on a Major General uniform and arranged his clothes in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room.
At this time, his mobile phone on the table was on, with an open text message displayed on it.
"Notice that the Federation's Fifth Expeditionary Force, Twelfth Army, and Logistics Corps have been formally established."
"Respected Major General Su Mo, the federal government has officially informed you that from now on, you will serve as the commander of the Fifth Expeditionary Force, the Twelfth Army and the Logistics Corps. This appointment will take effect from now on!"
"Tip: The Federal Fifth Expeditionary Force, Twelfth Army, and Logistics Corps have independent decision-making rights and are only responsible for logistics transportation. They do not accept transfers from the Fifth Expeditionary Corps."
...
"I don't understand, why are you doing so many fancy rituals?"
The deep voice of the counterfeit owner, the Devourer, sounded in Su Mo's mind.
"You don't understand. We are about to go on an expedition. There must be a swearing-in meeting before the expedition. Do you understand that this is a ritual? Besides, it's not the Federation that does this. Almost all countries do this."
Su Mo replied in a very good mood.
"Hmph, let me ask you something. You seem to have a close relationship with the consciousness in that Crazy-Eyed Rayhawk, right?"
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, suddenly changed his tune and mentioned this matter.
Su Mo was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "It's okay, why did I suddenly think of talking about this?"
"It's nothing, I just want to see you and have a special conversation with her before sending it to be remodeled."
"You must be jealous, right?"
Su Mo suddenly asked jokingly.
"Huh, do you think it's possible? I'm just reminding you that that consciousness is very dangerous. You should ask the old man to erase it."
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, said very vigilantly.
"You are worrying too much, Elise is still a very nice person."
Su Mo smiled and replied, and then he left the room when he saw that things were almost done.
...
Not long after, Su Mo walked off the Shadow.
At a glance, there are huge warships docked neatly all around.
Most of these battleships are brand new, and all have the Fifth Expeditionary Force serial numbers painted on them.
In the open space far ahead, a large number of newly recruited soldiers were gathered densely.
They were all talking and laughing.
Su Mo was in a good mood and walked over.
"Hey, that's not the charterer!"
"He's really a charterer."
"landlord."
Suddenly, familiar yet unfamiliar shouts sounded.
Su Mo subconsciously stopped and turned his head to look over, only to see young people with slightly immature faces coming into his eyes.
"You are not the son of Aunt Wang next door, so why..."
"Contractor, my name is Wang Rui."
"Yes, to Wang Rui, and to you, aren't you Qian Yue, the son of Uncle Qian of Baozi Shop..."
Su Mo was also very surprised when he looked at the familiar faces.
"Haha, that's right, it's us. I really didn't expect to see you here."
Wang Rui and others said very excitedly.
Su Mo looked at their military uniforms and immediately reacted: "You all joined the army?"
"That's right. It's quite surprising. We have all grown up and have joined the army. In fact, it is not just us who have joined the army. Many friends from the entire village in the city have joined the army."
Wang Rui explained with a smile.
Su Mo couldn't help but take a breath. He immediately realized that the recruitment order for the Fifth Expeditionary Army had a total of 100 million. Although many of them were returning veterans and reserve soldiers, the majority were new recruits.
With such a large area and large number of conscripts, it is not surprising that Wang Rui and others joined the army.
Su Mo nodded solemnly, and then said: "The expedition road is very dangerous, you must be careful, take care of yourselves, and come back alive."
Wang Rui and others replied energetically and fearlessly.
"Don't worry, we will be careful. Since we have joined the army, we will not be afraid of sacrifice, for the Federation! To protect our homeland!"
"That's right, we won't be afraid."
...
Su Mo looked at their fighting faces and replied with a smile: "Okay!"
"By the way, charterer, you seem to have joined the army a long time ago. What is your rank now?"
"Me, you can guess."
Su Mo replied in a good mood.
Wang Rui and others took a closer look at Su Mo's military uniform, scratched their heads and thought about it carefully, then reacted and said in shock.
"Mr. Charterer, you have become a major general!"
"Major General, that's amazing."
...
Su Mo looked at their surprised expressions, raised his hand and patted their shoulders, encouraging them!
"Okay, there's nothing to be shocked about. Come on, work hard, and one day you will be like me."
"Okay, we will definitely try our best."
Wang Rui and others responded one after another.
"I believe you will succeed."
"That charterer, we're going to meet up."
"Go ahead."
"Bye now."
...
Wang Rui and others immediately waved their hands and left one after another.
Su Mo looked at their backs with a somewhat emotional expression, feeling that time passed so quickly.
Unexpectedly, the new generation has grown up without even realizing it.
At this moment, Su Mo's cell phone rang.
buzzing
Su Mo looked at the phone number and saw it was Qian Chengxue, so he picked up the call.
"Su Mo, are you okay? We have gathered together."
"I'll be there soon. I'm just walking over."
Su Mo quickly replied.
"good!"
Qian Chengxue immediately hung up the phone.
Su Mo put the phone in his pocket and walked away.
After a while, Su Mo came to a gathering area and saw a figure in military uniform, standing upright.
There are as many as 150,000 people.
Su Mo glanced over and saw familiar faces.
Tang Yao, Zi Qing, Sun Li, Chen Meng, Zhao Han, Han Na, Qin Wang and others were all present.
Qian Chengxue was standing in front of them. When she saw Su Mo approaching, she took the lead in saluting.
"Fifth Expeditionary Force Twelfth Legion, No. 512, Deputy Commander Qian Chengxue and all members report to Commander Su Mo!"
"Master Su Mo Legion!"
Sun Li and others shouted in unison with a loud voice.
Su Mo's whole body became excited for a moment. He showed a bright smile, saluted everyone, and said casually.
"I am honored to fight alongside you. The Twelfth Legion welcomes you!"
Qian Chengxue asked with a smile: "Is our legion okay?"
"Okay, that's great, but why are you all here to participate? This expedition is very dangerous."
Although Su Mo was very happy, he still did not forget to remind Sun Li and others.
Sun Li and others responded with a smile: "We are all members of the Federation. The Federation needs us, so of course we are duty-bound. Although we are just a small splash in the era of big trends, we are also willing to contribute everything we have. We will never
Regret and fear!”
"OK."
Su Mo didn't say anything more.
At this moment, huge holographic projections appeared in front of each group of gathered recruits.
The President of the Council of Arles, the Commander of Tia's Fifth Army, and many other personnel emerged. On the eve of the expedition, the swearing-in ceremony was about to begin.
Everyone was quiet for a while.
Arles walked to the front, bowed to everyone, and began to give an impassioned speech.
"Hello everyone, I am the President of the Federal Parliament Arles. First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the new recruits. When the Federation was in turmoil, it was you who left your warm nest without hesitation and enlisted with the determination to die.
..."
Throughout the Earth Star, whether they were soldiers about to go on an expedition or ordinary people, everyone was listening to the speech attentively.
The ratings of this public speech reached the highest peak in history, with a full 95.3%.
It is also the most exciting moment.
At the same time, on the mother planet of the twelve civilizations, this exciting scene was also staged.
For the continuation of civilization, everyone is doing their best.
Just when the whole people were paying attention and listening to the speech.
Suddenly, an extremely sharp siren sounded in various cities across the federal government.
Woo
The sharp siren instantly interrupted Arles's speech.
Arles looked at the generals and officials around him with some confusion.
As a result, everyone had a puzzled look on their face, completely confused as to what was going on.
They didn't arrange to blow the whistle at all.
Vice-President Yiselin immediately turned to look at the subordinate next to her in anger and said, "Go and find out who did it."
"yes."
...
Su Mo was also confused. He turned to look at Qian Chengxue.
"what happened?"
"I don't know, but I hear this piercing siren without interruption. This seems to be the highest level emergency warning siren in the federal government. It has never been sounded in history!"
Qian Chengxue replied doubtfully.
...
At this time, in the starry sky, a red beam of light full of destructive power streaked across the dark starry sky. The space collapsed wherever it passed, and the dazzling light illuminated the passing starry sky red.
The entire red beam of destruction penetrated the Sea of Rings and struck towards the twelve civilization planets orbiting the City of Rings.
The command room of the Gaklin fortress-type space station in the outer space of the Gaugar Republic's home planet.
The piercing sirens kept sounding.
The operator shouted in panic: "The radar scan detected an incoming super-reaction attack."
"Who are you coming for?"
An old man with white hair wearing a high-level military uniform yelled hysterically.
"It seems like it's coming for us. No, it's coming for our home planet. It's estimated to be twenty seconds away. What should we do, Commander Goento!"
The operator shouted in horror.
"Activate all the power of the Gaklin Fortress space station, adjust the angle and let me meet you! You have to resist me even if you die, for the sake of the Gauga Republic!"
Commander Goento's face was filled with emotion and he yelled crazily.
"yes!"
...
In the starry sky, the giant Jaklin Fortress-shaped space station suddenly adjusted its trajectory, like a shield blocking the mother planet.
The next second, the dark starry sky appeared in the distance.
A beam of destructive red light arrived as expected, instantly covering and melting the entire giant Gaklin fortress-shaped space station.
Immediately afterwards, the entire beam bombarded the home planet of the Gaugar Republic.
Seen from space, the dazzling red beam of light exploded like sparks the moment it hit!
It was seen that more than half of the entire parent star was covered by the beam, and only the back side of the planet was not affected.
The very center area of the mother star was hit, as if it had been branded with iron, and the earth cracked and collapsed.
Other coverage is like a prairie fire, turning the world into red.
On the home planet of the Gauga Republic, countless people raised their heads and looked at the sky when they heard the sirens.
I only saw the world turning red, and the entire sky was red, like fire.
Their faces were filled with extreme fear, and they were immediately covered in attacks.
In an instant, all the buildings and people were vaporized, and they didn't even have a chance to cry out.
This scene of world destruction was immediately uploaded to the Star Ring Forum, instantly causing widespread panic.
"What's going on? Is the end coming?"
"Has the Gauga Republic been destroyed?"
"terrible."
...
Federal Government Administration Building.
Arles immediately interrupted the swearing-in meeting and led a group of officials to the emergency meeting room.
"Have you contacted the Chairman of the Rufat Council of the Caucasian Republic?"
Arles looked extremely sad.
"Not yet, the communication signal of the Caucasus Republic is currently interrupted, and it is impossible to confirm the life and death of Speaker Rufat."
The subordinate on the side quickly replied.
"What is the current situation on the home planet of the Gauga Republic?"
"It's not clear, but according to experts' judgment from the images circulated on the Halo Forum, it is estimated that at least half of the city will be evaporated, and the casualties are conservatively estimated to be at least in the billions."
"Have you figured out the source of the attack?"
"No, I have no clue at all. The Federation has now entered the highest level of alert."
"Is anyone responsible for this attack?"
"Not yet."
"How is the reaction from the Imperial Army?"
Arles stopped and turned around to ask.
"I don't know for the time being, but from the reaction of the people on the forum, they are also extremely shocked. Mr. Council Leader, don't you suspect that the Imperial Army did it?"
The subordinate's eyes widened, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not impossible. After all, only the Imperial Army had Star Destroyers.
Arles' expression changed for a while, and finally he said: "Go to the conference room first."
...
Not long ago, there was a vast starry sky outside the Rhine Star Sea.
A star shines brightly, and its surface is covered with an energy-collecting mirror.
In front of this star, there is a special Rubik's Cube-shaped planetary fortress made of red crystal.
The entire Rubik's Cube-shaped fortress continuously absorbs the energy emitted by the stars, and the special energy-gathering emission ports on its surface burst out with bright light.
The fortress command room.
One after another, burly noncommissioned officers wearing high-end black heavy mechanical armor and high-motos empire military uniforms, whose faces could not be seen clearly, raised their hands and shouted enthusiastically.
"For Emperor Mokagafa! Destroy all enemies."
"For Emperor Mokajafa!"
"emission!"
.......
In an instant, the entire fortress turned all the collected energy into bright beams of light, which were shot out and merged into a giant energy restraint device in the shape of a radar pot directly in front.
Pieces of blue mirrors are embedded in the inner wall of the bell mouth of this giant device.
They refract and link the incoming red light beams together, and then converge them into the center of the device.
In front of this giant device, there is a row of special energy restraint rings floating in a straight line. These energy restraint rings get larger as they get closer to the ring mouth of the device, and get smaller as they go forward.
Immediately afterwards, the giant radar-like device erupted with bright light, turning the concentrated beam into a beam of light and penetrating into the restraint ring. The compressed energy beam was concentrated to the greatest extent, so that its ultra-long-distance attack would not be scattered.
Finally, a red beam of light full of destruction blasted into the distant starry sky.
...
Interstellar Airport, Su Mo and others also saw this shocking bad news from the Star Ring Forum.
Not only were they shocked and speechless, but they also felt a chill and a creepy feeling.
"It's so, so terrible."
...
Su Mo was shocked and showed an extremely angry look.
It was too much. Although the one who was hit was not from the Federation, so many people were killed at once.
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, reminded Su Mo in a low voice: "Don't be dominated by anger. This world is so cruel. If you are not strong enough, then extinction will only happen in an instant. You can live so nourishingly and well.
, not because you are strong enough, but because those powerful enemies are not in the mood to fight you, and because the Star Ring City is protecting you, you are safe and sound."
"I understand, but I can't figure out who has the courage to ignore the rules of the Star Ring City and launch such a devastating attack. Or is it that this attack has bypassed the Star Ring City's warning and was not even noticed?
.”
Su Mo gradually calmed down and asked the owner of the forgery, the Devourer.
"Then have you ever thought that there may be a third situation where the opponent's attack is in compliance with the rules of Star Ring City."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said in a deep voice.
"How is it possible? The Star Ring City strictly prohibits fighting within its Star Ring Sea. Wait, you mean, that attack came from a very long distance across a star field."
Su Mo's first reaction was that it was impossible, but he immediately thought of the problem.
"That's right, otherwise how could the power be so bad? It didn't evaporate the home planet of the Gauga Republic in one breath."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied calmly.
