"Hold on a moment. No need to rush."

Su Mo refused.

"Why? It ran as soon as it saw us, didn't it?"

Sun Duoxiang asked, puzzled.

"It's not strange that they're running. Our ship doesn't have any markings. If a wolf was following you, wouldn't you run?"

"Yeah, you're right, boss."

Sun Duoxiang replied after thinking about it.

"Also, even if they aren't from our allied nations, we need to figure out who they are before attacking."

"Huh? Boss, I don't quite understand. Aren't you being a little too cautious?"

"Have you forgotten? Besides us and the Imperial Army, there's a third force: the Immortal Empire. If this ship belongs to them, and we attack it, what do you think will happen?"

Su Mo turned to look at Sun Duoxiang.

Sun Duoxiang shuddered upon hearing this.

"That would be a huge disaster! We'd be provoking our ancestors!"

"Good that you know."

"So, what do we do now?"

Sun Duoxiang was a little nervous. Intercepting this ship seemed risky.

"Simple, send them a communication. We've already exited FTL, so communication shouldn't be a problem."

Su Mo said to Sun Duoxiang.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Sun Duoxiang was about to send a communication when Su Mo suddenly reached out and stopped him.

Sun Duoxiang looked at Su Mo, puzzled.

Su Mo had a meaningful smile on his face.

...

Inside the Blue Whale's command room, a group of shadowy figures were huddled together, discussing something intensely.

Suddenly, a jarring communication request popped up on the virtual screen.

The shadowy figures looked at the flashing communication request and finally made a decision.

The communication was quickly connected.

Zhang Hao, wearing the gray uniform of the Gores Empire Army, appeared on the screen.

Zhang Hao saw a middle-aged man in a black suit and tie, with greasy hair, and no visible affiliations.

Zhang Hao glared at the man and shouted, "I am General Marco Hao of the Gores Empire! Who are you? Identify yourselves immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

The middle-aged man's face lit up with joy upon hearing Zhang Hao's words. He quickly explained,

"No, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! We're all on the same side. I'm from the Tairu Di Empire. We're allies."

"Bullshit! Just because you say so? You look like someone from the Federation."

Zhang Hao glared at the middle-aged man.

"Really, it's a misunderstanding. I am Earl Fack of the Tairu Di Empire. This is my insignia. You can verify it."

Fack quickly pulled out a bronze badge from his pocket.

"You think you can fool me with a badge? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Zhang Hao continued to interrogate him relentlessly.

"I can prove it. We are not from the Federation. I am Prince Harkdi of the Fares Empire."

A man wearing a traditional gray robe of the Fares Empire, with a haughty expression and adorned with various luxurious jewelry, stepped forward.

"One of you says you're from the Tairu Di Empire, the other says you're from the Fares Empire. Do you think I'm stupid? And I've never heard of any empire purchasing the Blue Whale."

Zhang Hao sneered.

"There's nothing strange about that, because this ship was purchased jointly by the three of us."

An old man in a luxurious robe, leaning on a mechanical cane, walked up.

"And who are you?"

Zhang Hao asked.

"I am Duke Geo of the Feiliji'er Empire! And if you don't believe me, you can take a look at everyone in our command room."

Geo introduced himself and adjusted the communication image to show everyone in the command room.

It was clear that everyone in the command room was wearing different colored Imperial military uniforms.

"Boss, we've got it all figured out!"

Zhang Hao turned to Su Mo excitedly.

"Excellent, open fire!"

Su Mo, standing aside in his Imperial military uniform, looked up and shouted excitedly.

"Huh?"

The people on the other side were dumbfounded, still not understanding what was going on.

"Alright! Open all weapon ports, charge the main cannon, lock onto the target! You little bastards, get ready for battle! Whether you eat meat or drink soup depends on your skills!"

Sun Duoxiang replied excitedly, then cut off the communication and immediately sounded the battle alarm.

Su Mo turned and walked towards the hangar. Now that he knew it was a ship from the weakest of the three empires, he had no more reservations. There was no better time to rob them than now.

His pockets were emptier than his face. He couldn't pass up the free meal that was delivered to his door.

At this moment, the low voice of the False Creator Devourer echoed in Su Mo's mind.

"Are you sure you can handle this in your current condition?"

"The meat is right in front of my mouth, would you pass it up?"

Su Mo retorted.

"No!"

The False Creator Devourer paused for a few seconds and replied without hesitation. He would do it even if it meant bursting at the seams.

"That's right, but don't worry, I won't use negative energy. If it really comes down to it, I'll rely on you."

Su Mo didn't plan to play the hero this time. Although people die for wealth and birds die for food, there was no need to kill himself if he had a choice.

"I understand."

The False Creator Devourer's low voice revealed a hint of excitement.

...

Inside the Blue Whale's command room, Prince Harkdi and the others finally came to their senses, their faces filled with fear.

"What's going on? We fell into a trap? Are they from the Federation?"

"Don't panic. Even if they are from the Federation, so what? They only have one Tier 5 battleship. The Blue Whale's shields are not for show. Besides, we have pseudo-V generation mechs and IV generation mechs. We can at least hold them off, and then we can easily retreat."

Geo said calmly.

"Duke Geo is right."

Earl Fack wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced a smile.

They could only try to think positively now.

This ship carried the supplies that their three empires had worked so hard to collect. If anything happened to it,

They might as well commit suicide.

The reason they did this was because they had no choice. The three nations of Gao Motes and others, relying on their strength, secretly made arrangements without them.

They could only grit their teeth and join forces.

Who knew this would happen? Their luck was terrible.

Just then, the operator said in horror, "My lords, their main cannon is charging too fast, and their mobile units are starting to detach from the ship in large numbers!"

"Damn it, they were clearly prepared in advance. These guys have been targeting us for a long time. Who leaked the information?"

Prince Harkdi's face turned green with anger.

"Now is not the time for that. Fight with all our might. Maximize the Blue Whale's energy shield power. Order all mobile units to sortie!"

Geo took over command and began issuing orders.

"Yes!"

The messenger replied immediately.

"Also, the Blue Whale must not stop, continue to advance at high speed. Tell all the soldiers to fight, now is the time for them to serve the empire. Intercept the enemy at all costs!"

Prince Harkdi added, not intending to fight to the death.
