In the starry sky, a golden ray of light fled the Land of Absolute Zero at an extremely fast speed.
After confirming that the enemy wasn't chasing after him, Su Mo immediately relaxed, collapsing into the pilot's seat, panting.
"What in the world, I almost lost my life. Looks like a person can't be too arrogant."
"I'm glad you realize that."
Falsified Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.
"Do you think the Land of Absolute Zero is full of monsters of that level?"
"This planet is so big, who can say for sure? But it's not impossible."
"Let's go, let's go. I'll never come back even if you beat me to death."
Su Mo said with certainty. Opening the door and running into a monster of that level, who knows what other terrifying existences might be inside.
"That's just because your strength isn't enough right now. When you're strong enough, you'll definitely be tempted again. I can tell you one thing, just when that monster broke out of the ice, I saw that the exposed ground was covered in rare ores and energy crystals of extremely high value. I conservatively estimate that they're worth at least hundreds of trillions of star coins."
Falsified Creator·Devourer said enticingly.
Su Mo swallowed hard, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "We'll talk about that later."
"That's something you have to decide for yourself."
"Yeah, let's go to Ceres quickly."
"Alright."
Falsified Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.
Then Su Mo controlled the Wings of the Blazing Sun, transforming it into a golden streamer and flying into the distance. Although he couldn't pinpoint their location right now, he could easily deduce the approximate location of Ceres using the Land of Absolute Zero as a reference point.
Because the four ring satellites were all in a flat plane, rotating around Negative God Star.
The Land of Absolute Zero was directly opposite Ceres, like one was in the east and the other was in the west.
Normally, the shortest path would be a straight line, but because of Negative God Star in the center, the danger was greater, so he couldn't go directly through it, and could only go around it.
As for which way to go around, it didn't make much of a difference.
.......
Outer space of Ceres.
The Black and White Boundary Fortress successfully arrived at the designated coordinates.
All that could be seen were floating meteorites, and behind the meteorites, there were special red devices embedded, with red lights flashing on them.
Looking around, there were also a large number of damaged mechanical wreckage next to the meteorites.
At the same time, a little further in, giant mechanical crosses thousands of meters high could be seen floating within the meteorite field.
In addition to the mechanical crosses, a black rhomboid gem floated in space at intervals, with the entire gem emitting a black halo.
Inside the command room, Nanqi sat alone in the command chair, stroking his beard, not knowing what he was thinking.
Artificial Intelligence·Black and White Apostle respectfully reported.
"Commander Nanqi, we have arrived at the outer area of the Levacris Space Defense Base."
"Connect to the Levacris Space Base."
A hint of excitement flashed in Nanqi's eyes as he issued the order.
"Attempting to connect."
"Successfully connected."
......
Soon, an old man wearing a V-generation colony armor, with white hair and firm eyes, appeared.
"Vice Commander Jinode!"
Nanqi greeted him with a bright smile.
"Commander Nanqi, I've been waiting for you! I'll open a path for you and let you in!"
Jinode's tired face suddenly broke into an extremely excited smile.
In the starry sky, a guiding light stretched out from the meteorite belt, and all the meteorites and defensive weapons along the way automatically moved aside, revealing a wide star passage.
The Black and White Boundary Fortress flew in with its troops.
Looking along the way, defensive weapons could be seen everywhere, but nearly a third of them were damaged.
It was obvious that there had been an extremely fierce battle here.
Before long, the Black and White Boundary Fortress entered the inner area.
People from all countries inside the fortress were scrambling to crowd around the observation deck, looking out at the situation.
"Wow!"
The crowd exclaimed.
The entire central area of the meteorite belt had been circled off.
The meteorites in the central area had all been transformed into small, habitable areas, numbering at least several hundred thousand.
In the most central area, an artificial planet full of futuristic technology stood there.
Countless ships and aircraft were constantly shuttling between the various meteorites and the artificial planet.
The entire area was, to put it bluntly, an independent kingdom.
At this time, the Black and White Boundary Fortress's broadcast sounded.
"Temporary notice: The Black and White Boundary Fortress has arrived at the Ceres outer supply base, Levacris Space Defense Base. Everyone is to remain in the designated area and await further instructions. Leaving without permission is strictly prohibited!"
......
Before long, the Black and White Boundary Fortress docked with the artificial planet.
Nanqi led a group of officers down from the Black and White Boundary Fortress.
Vice Commander Jinode had been waiting for a long time, his aged face showing a bright smile as he greeted them.
"Commander Nanqi!"
"Vice Commander Jinode, haha!"
Nanqi gave him a warm hug.
"I didn't expect you to make a trip here personally. Thank you for your hard work."
Jinode replied with a smile.
"It's nothing. I brought the Stargate over to you intact. You can start the Stargate erection operation."
Nanqi breathed a sigh of relief. A weight had finally been lifted from his heart.
"This, this... I'm afraid there's a bit of trouble."
Jinode replied with a wry smile.
"Trouble?"
Nanqi was also stunned, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"Yes."
Jinode sighed and replied.
Hearing this, Nanqi suddenly turned his head and said to Chaiji and the others behind him.
"You all go and rest."
"Okay."
Chaiji and the others all left.
Jinode glanced at the people behind him and also dismissed the people he had brought.
Soon, only Vice Commander Jinode and Commander Nanqi were left on the scene.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Nanqi asked in a deep voice.
"You should have seen it on the way here, this base has been exposed. We were attacked by the Everlasting Sleep Clan. Although they lost some teeth and temporarily retreated, we also suffered heavy losses. Our situation is very unfavorable right now. If we erect the Stargate at this time, they will probably attack with all their might, and we might not be able to hold it."
Jinode said with a headache.
"How long will it take to erect the Stargate?"
Nanqi asked calmly.
"The construction of the Stargate will take a total of 3 months and 14 natural days. We need to build a special base and one hundred and twenty special stabilizers to counter interference. The entire project cannot be damaged by external factors. Once a component is destroyed, the opening of the Stargate will be a distant prospect."
Jinode gave a very precise answer.
Hearing this number, Nanqi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. The construction time was too long.
"Can't the time be shortened?"
"No, this is the fastest speed."
Jinode said with certainty.
"The Stargate must be deployed on schedule, and there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, the support from Star Ring City will not be able to come continuously, and we will be passive."
Nanqi said decisively.
It should be known that Star Ring City has a total of five trump card legions.
The First Legion is the Royal Legion, and this legion is stationed in Star Ring City. The Twelve Knights of the Royal Order are the top hitters of the Royal Legion.
The Second Legion is the Annihilation Legion. All the direct troops of Star Ring City on Ceres, including this space base, are part of the Second Annihilation Legion.
The Third Legion is the Dust Legion. This legion is stationed in the various star regions occupied by Star Ring City, acting like a spider web, serving as the eyes and outer defense of Star Ring City.
The Fourth Legion is the Ghidorah Legion, controlled by Commander Kailas, and is currently guarding the rear of the Land of Procreation.
The Fifth Legion is the Black and White Legion, controlled by Nanqi. The Dark Crow Legion is a sub-legion of Nanqi's establishment and is also part of his troops.
In addition to these five trump card legions, Star Ring City also has seven affiliated legions. These seven affiliated legions are basically composed of the seven strongest countries in the Land of Procreation.
It is worth noting that the countries where these seven affiliated legions are located have also established a joint association to deal with the conflicts in the Land of Procreation.
Now, it's equivalent to having sent two major trump card legions here.
"I know that, isn't it just that we don't have enough troops? To be honest, this battle is really frustrating."
Jinode said with a wry smile.
"Do you need to tell me? I also know that it's very frustrating. Our Star Ring City has to fight against a race, no, to be precise, several legions under our command have to fight against a race, and our troops are also seriously insufficient. Otherwise, the City Lord would not keep summoning cannon fodder and injecting new strength. If we had the same number of troops as them, we would have wiped them out long ago!"
Nanqi stamped his feet in annoyance.
"Hey, it's useless to say these things."
Jinode sighed and replied.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things. My troops will stay and help you garrison."
Nanqi took a deep breath and said.
"I think you guys have just been through a bloody battle as well. Adding you on top is still a bit difficult."
Vice Commander Jinode said with a headache.
Nanqi pondered for a while, and Vice Commander Jinode's words were not entirely unreasonable. Those Everlasting Sleep Clan guys were like mad dogs. He didn't bring many troops this time, and he lost so many along the way.
Although the Black and White Boundary Fortress's suppressed combat power could be released after unloading the Stargate. But even so, Nanqi still felt that the troops were not enough.
So a fierce look flashed in Nanqi's eyes, and he said to Vice Commander Jinode.
"It's okay, I'll detain all the troops from the Twelve Civilizations and the Land of Procreation. I'll send them all to the outside to serve as cannon fodder for defense, which can more or less be effective."
"Okay, that's the only way, but will they agree? The countries in the Land of Procreation are okay, after all, they also have a small supply area here, but will the newly pulled-in people from the Twelve Civilizations obediently listen?"
Jinode asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, I didn't plan to reason with them. Whoever dares to disobey a military order will be executed."
Nanqi showed an extremely iron-blooded wrist at this moment.
"Okay!"
Vice Commander Jinode nodded heavily.
"By the way, where's Commander Lorek?"
Nanqi looked left and right and asked.
"The base below was attacked, and Commander Lorek personally led people down to take charge. If Commander Lorek was here, how would those dogs have the guts to attack us?"
Vice Commander Jinode sighed and replied.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Nanqi patted Jinode on the shoulder to comfort him.
......
Inside the Black and White Boundary Fortress.
People from all countries were excitedly waiting for the news of disbandment and free action.
Everyone was eager to go to Ceres to support their people as soon as possible.
Just then, the broadcast sounded.
"Hello everyone, this is Commander Nanqi. Thank you very much for your support along the way. Without your heroic fighting, we would not have been able to get here. I will report your merits to Star Ring City. But now there is a major matter to announce. Star Ring City is about to erect a Stargate, which may be attacked at that time. Therefore, regardless of the country in the Land of Procreation or the country in the Twelve Civilizations, everyone is temporarily not allowed to leave and will be conscripted! Cooperate with the defense."
"When the Stargate is successfully erected, you can all obtain massive amounts of merit, and then you can leave and do your own thing. Of course, I know that you must have a sense of rejection, but I hope you can understand that the erection of the Stargate is not just a matter for Star Ring City, it is also closely related to you. Because once the Stargate is successfully erected, you will also be beneficiaries. You can get benefits from the support of Star Ring City. It's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree, you should understand this principle. So this matter is imperative. If anyone disobeys the order and leaves without permission, they will be responsible for the consequences."
Nanqi directly issued orders with a combination of threats and inducements.
Hearing the broadcast, people from various countries couldn't help but curse.
"o
Falsified Creator·Devourer agreed.
"Do you remember the approximate location of the Black Thorn Base?"
"I remember."
"Let's go!"
Su Mo didn't waste any time.
......
Not long after, outer space of Ceres.
Su Mo controlled the Wings of the Blazing Sun to pass by, constantly using optical images to calculate the direction to go down, confirming that he had not chosen the wrong location to go down.
If he located too far off, he would have to spend more effort to correct it.
"Xiao Shi, is it okay to go down from here? Won't it be too far off?"
Su Mo asked Falsified Creator·Devourer with some concern.
"Theoretically, there is no problem. The possibility of calculation errors cannot be ruled out. But I am 60% sure that it will not deviate too much."
Falsified Creator·Devourer gave a cautious reply.
"Okay, let's go then, we'll correct any deviations."
Su Mo was not the kind of person who wasted words. He controlled the Wings of the Blazing Sun to turn into a golden light and rushed down.
A moment later, a golden light broke through the atmosphere.
The reddish-brown earth then came into view.
In the distance, on the reddish-brown earth, the huge Black Thorn Base stood there.
"Xiao Shi located it beautifully! The Black Thorn Base is there, let's go over."
Su Mo was very excited and controlled the Wings of the Blazing Sun to fly towards the Black Thorn Base.
At the thought of seeing his former comrades soon, Su Mo was also inexplicably a little excited.
However, as the distance shortened, Su Mo felt something was wrong. The huge Black Thorn Base had become dilapidated, and there were wrecks of weapons of war everywhere on the periphery.
Blood stained the entire area red, and many wandering monsters were gnawing on corpses.
The entire area was like a living hell.
"What, what's going on?"
Su Mo's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
ps: Sorry, I have to go to a meeting temporarily, I'll update more tomorrow.
