Chapter 1209: Chapter 451: Bestowing Honors
On the other side, Su Ming controlled the Fake V Generation cha·Shadow Lord, opened the communication channel, and asked Timi.
“Timi, tally up the number of transport ships destroyed.”
“In total, 3 Level 5 transport ships and 7 Level 4 transport ships sank. Fortunately, these ships were only transporting various ores, so it’s no problem if they sank; the ores are still intact.”
Timi thankfully said to Su Ming.
“That’s good.”
Su Ming, hearing Timi’s words, relaxed his tense nerves a bit.
“Commander Su Ming, what should we do next? It seems General Xinlad is seriously injured.”
Timi hesitated for a mont and asked.
“I’ll make arrangents.”
Su Ming said to Timi in a deep voice.
“Alright!”
Timi respectfully replied.
Su Ming imdiately opened the full communication channel and spoke in a low voice.
“Everyone, this is Deputy Commander Su Ming. As General Xinlad is incapacitated, I will be assuming command. You are now to comnce search and rescue operations, and Star Destroyer·Thunder Extre and other ships are to retreat and form a defensive formation. We will await reinforcents here.”
“Yes.”
The communication channel echoed with sparse responses.
Although many generals followed Su Ming’s orders, it was clear that quite a few harbored resentnt towards him.
Had the rear not crumbled, General Xinlad wouldn’t have needed to risk his life to forcibly break through and kill the V-type Fortress Level·Mogfa.
Celeste, hearing their responses, reminded Su Ming.
“Su Ming, it seems they’re not very pleased with you.”
“It’s normal. Let’s just do what we must.”
Su Ming calmly replied.
Several hours later.
In the distant starry sky, large ripples appeared as Level 5 Mother Ships and Battleships erged from subspace.
Inside the central control of the leading Level 5 Mother Ship·Skywalker.
A burly man with a general’s uniform, a bearded jaw, and a bald head stood up in shock from his commanding chair, gazing at the wreckage on the distant battlefield through the optical imaging device, unable to speak for a mont.
At this mont, a communication prompt popped up on the operator’s screen.
The operator imdiately reported.
“General ngdu, we have received a communication request from the Dood Light.”
“Patch it through.”
ngdu returned to his senses and said.
“Yes!”
The operator executed imdiately.
Su Ming’s holographic image instantly appeared before ngdu.
“Hello, I am Admiral Su Ming, the deputy commander of this escort fleet.”
“Hello, I am Vice Admiral ngdu of the Seventh Legion. Sorry we’re late, how are things on your end?”
“We encountered an attack from the chanical Clan and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, Admiral Xinlad risked his life to kill the V-type Fortress Level·Mogfa, successfully repelling the enemy, but Admiral Xinlad was gravely injured for it! We need your help to rescue and transfer the materials from the damaged transport ships.”
“No problem.”
ngdu agreed imdiately.
“Thank you!”
Su Ming finished speaking and then cut off the communication.
The reinforcing fleet imdiately advanced, deploying a large number of cha formations to assist in the rescue.
…
The next day.
Inside the Dood Light Central Control Room.
Su Ming sat in the command chair, sipping coffee while watching the progress of the rescue displayed on the operation screen.
At this mont, Timi reported to Su Ming.
“The rescue is nearing completion, and both the destroyed materials and the chanical Clan’s wreckage have been transferred to the new transport ships.”
“Alright.”
Su Ming nodded in acknowledgnt.
At this mont, a prompt appeared on the operation screen.
“Commander Su Ming, we have received a communication request from Thunder Extre.”
“Connect it.”
Su Ming replied in a deep voice.
“Yes!”
Li nghan imdiately carried out the operation.
Xinlad’s virtual image imdiately appeared before Su Ming.
He was seen sitting in a command chair with a bandage wrapped around his forehead, his complexion sowhat pale.
“General Xinlad, are you alright?”
Su Ming saluted and asked with concern.
“I’m fine, just a minor injury. How’s the rescue situation?”
Xinlad asked in a deep voice.
“The rescue is nearing completion.”
Su Ming reported truthfully.
“Good, good work. Once the rescue concludes, set sail back to the Federation imdiately, leave the battlefield cleanup to the reinforcent fleet.”
Xinlad instructed Su Ming.
“Understood.”
Su Ming nodded in agreent.
Admiral Xinlad then terminated the communication.
Soon after, the fleet finished the rescue and proceeded towards the Cui Lan Star Defense Line.
…
———————————–
The following day.
Outside the Cui Lan Star Defense Line, the starry sky rippled broadly.
Star Destroyer·Thunder Extre was the first to erge from subspace, followed closely by the Dood Light and other ships.
Inside the Dood Light vessel’s central control room.
Timi looked at the defensive line in the starry sky ahead, breathing a slight sigh of relief, and reported to Su Ming.
“Commander Su Ming, we have arrived at the Cui Lan Star Defense Line.”
“Very good, we’re finally safe.”
Su Ming nodded, having entered the Cui Lan Star Defense Line ant they were in a safe zone and that this escort mission had successfully concluded.
At this mont, a piece of information popped up on the operation screen.
Timi hurriedly reported to Su Ming.
“Commander Su Ming, we have received information from the Cui Lan Star Defense Line’s central command, requiring all our ships to enter the Cui Lan Star Defense Line and log into the Space Defense Fortress·Heart of Firefly Green for identification verification.”
“Alright!”
Su Ming acknowledged with a slight nod.
As the Federation is currently in a special warti state, all identity verifications mandate physical docuntation.
Thus, everyone passing through must undergo cumberso checks, including blood tests and interrogations.
A mont later, the Dood Light sailed into the Cui Lan Star Defense Line, heading towards a planet-sized structure completely covered in dark green armor, resembling a fruit shell, with nurous launch ports and interception cannons across its surface, the Space Defense Fortress.
