540: Chapter 343 Old Acquaintance (Five in One)_5 540: Chapter 343 Old Acquaintance (Five in One)_5 Once the Emperor’s wrath erupted, death itself beca a luxury.
At this mont, a man wearing a black robe and a faceless black tal mask erged from the side hall.
The man’s robe was intricately adorned with various ancient and mysterious patterns.
His eyes, deep as the night, seed like an abyss that one dared not stare into.
His deanor exuded a mysterious aura.
“Lord Roglian, the Pri Minister!”
Hodiska greeted the man before him with great reverence.
“Mhm.”
Roglian replied in a hoarse voice.
“Lord, we have co to face the Emperor and beg for forgiveness for our faults!”
Hodiska said gravely.
“Follow , the Emperor is waiting for you.”
Roglian directed Hodiska and the other two, then proceeded into the depths of the side hall.
Hodiska and his companions followed behind, their expressions tense.
They quickly passed through the door of the side hall and entered a long corridor.
In the middle of the corridor stood a man clad in golden armor, with golden hair, sapphire-like eyes, handso features, and an arrogant deanor that radiated dominance.
“Lord Sosk!”
Hodiska respectfully greeted the man as they passed by.
This was none other than Sosk, the third-ranking mber of the Empire’s Royal Sect.
“Mhm.”
Sosk barely moved his lips as he dismissively acknowledged the greeting.
Hodiska didn’t say much more and silently followed Rogelia further inside.
Soon, they reached the end of the corridor, where a tal door engraved with a black dragon relief ca into view.
Click!
The tal door automatically swung open at that mont, revealing a pitch-black interior, like an unfathomable abyss.
Rogelia led Hodiska into the darkness.
As the tal door closed slowly behind them, the four were enveloped in darkness.
“Emperor, the individuals have been brought before you.”
Rogelia said respectfully.
Suddenly, a pair of dark red eyes burst open within the blackness, and an invisible pressure pervaded the atmosphere.
Hodiska imdiately knelt down, placing his right hand over his chest, and spoke.
“Emperor, your subordinate has failed, allowing the Federation forces to breach our defenses.
I have co to accept punishnt!”
“Emperor, it’s all my fault, I was too foolish and fell for the Federation’s treacherous strategies!”
Tedra knelt down in panic, his voice trembling.
“Through my underestimation, the defenses were compromised.
I am willing to accept my punishnt!”
Noveis also knelt.
Upon hearing the word “Federation,” the dark red eyes gradually cleared, and then a commanding voice rang out.
“Is it an old friend who has co to visit?”
Hodiska and the others were startled by the Emperor’s words, unsure of how to respond.
Then, standing nearby, Rogelia respectfully answered.
“It is an old friend’s visit, but they did not knock on the door.
They kicked it in.”
“Ha ha!
Still as disrespectful as ever!”
Upon hearing Rogelia’s words, the Emperor burst into laughter.
Hodiska and the others showed a look of utter astonishnt upon hearing the Emperor’s laughter.
It was unthinkable—the Emperor, who hadn’t laughed in hundreds of years, was now laughing.
It was inconceivable.
However, the sound of the Emperor’s laughter made them even more fearful and uneasy.
It was all too abnormal.
And they simply couldn’t understand what the Emperor was saying.
Eventually, the Emperor stopped laughing and asked,
“Is it him?”
“I am not certain of that.”
Rogelia replied calmly.
The clear eyes of the Emperor then returned to a dark red as he spoke in a chilling tone.
“The guests have arrived!
Don’t you know to greet them?
What are you waiting for?”
“Yes!”
Hodiska and the others replied in terror.
The tal door that had previously shut now opened again, and Rogelia led Hodiska and the other two out.
Once back in the side hall, Hodiska quickly sought advice.
“Lord Rogelia, what shall we do next?”
“Reassign the native forces from each major planet to surround and capture the guests and bring them before the Emperor.
Rember, this is your last chance.”
Rogelia said sternly to Hodiska and the others.
“Yes!”
The three of them hastened to acknowledge.

Starshine Fortress.
In a silent room, Su Ming lay in bed, sleeping heavily.
Thump, thump!
Then, a knock echoed, and Little Hui, who was sprawled on the floor, stood up and looked at the door with confusion.
Su Ming slowly opened his eyes, his eyelids fighting as if in a struggle, his head heavy.
In a hoarse voice, he said,
“Little Hui, go open the door.”
Upon hearing this, Little Hui imdiately darted out and leaped to grab the doorknob, pulling it down.
The door was opened, and Rhein and Ankaga peered inside to a quiet room without a sign of Su Ming.
“Eh?
Where’s the squad leader?”
Ankaga asked in confusion.
“Let’s go in and take a look!”
Rhein led them in, and when they reached the bedside, they saw Su Ming was still lying in bed, asleep.
“Damn, squad leader, are you still sleeping?”
“Why don’t you rest so more?
Why co looking for so early in the morning?”
Su Ming asked wearily.
“No, squad leader, it’s already the evening of the next day.
You didn’t sleep from yesterday until now, did you?
That’s why I haven’t seen you all day.”
Rhein asked, dumbfounded.
Upon hearing Rhein’s words, Su Ming suddenly sat up and checked the ti on his wristband.
The ti was indeed as Rhein had said; Su Ming had slept for nearly a day and night.
It was incredible.
However, Su Ming quickly guessed the reason.
It must have been due to the long duration of combat in the Fourth Generation cha and the repeated use of Light Speed Fold Flash that led to his ntal exhaustion.
