Capítulo 1362: Chapter 97: Shadow Island Makes Its Official Debut!

Hmm?

Everyone looked at Mu Fan, not understanding the intention of his words at this moment.

Feeling the gazes from all directions, Mu Fan’s eyes were calm, clearly having made up his mind.

“The Snow Clan doesn’t need to relocate.”

Mu Fan’s words set the tone.

Everyone looked over, only to find Mu Fan’s expression exceptionally calm.

“What do you plan to do?” Finally, Ruan Xiongfei spoke.

Mu Fan raised his head, looking at these comrades who had been through life-and-death trials and could indeed be called comrades, and slowly began to speak, “Next, I will stay here.”

“This is not a solo mecha battle; once the news here is leaked and Solomon appears again, it won’t be so simple.”

“I understand, it’s a contest of comprehensive strength.” Mu Fan looked at the calm and slightly pale Qi Longxiang over there, who smiled and nodded at him.

“Brother Qi.” The familiar address resonated, and for a moment, the two seemed to return to the scene when they first met on the Purple Jade Star, the moment of their handshake replaying in their minds.

“The Hidden Land Battleship was destroyed because of me… I will give you another warship.”

As Mu Fan’s words fell, everyone’s expressions turned solemn.

“Oh?” Qi Longxiang’s face finally showed a hint of change.

“To be precise, I need everyone’s help.” Mu Fan’s expression was frank, “My base will arrive in two days, with a complete industrial system and high-purity energy, and I also control a lost mining ruins.”

“I’m not sure if the enemies ahead will be stronger than Solomon, or even more numerous… so I need your help. This base is the foundation to face all crises coming next.”

As Mu Fan finished speaking, silence filled the vast conference room.

Qi Longxiang’s eyes slightly narrowed.

“The fleet on Blue Capital Star…”

“Is mine, but I want you to command it next.”

“How many fleets like that do you have?” Qi Longxiang asked calmly.

“Many… many.”

“Good.”

Qi Longxiang’s lips curled into a smile, succinctly.

Under a collapsed nest, no egg remains intact.

His destiny always lies in the vast sea of stars, and as for the family, this young general with countless battles sees far clearer than most.

As long as he is alive, the family will always prosper, but without the protection of force, the collapse of the family is just a matter of moments.

Many fleets he has never seen…

Led by him.

This is a temptation he simply cannot refuse.

Kindred spirits are true friends.

Mu Fan’s trust is what Qi Longxiang values most.

Upon hearing this response, Mu Fan subtly clenched his fist,

“Teacher, Thunderhawk can be placed there for repairs. Also, I would like to invite someone else to treat your arm.”

“You rascal, how much did you hide from me back then, hahaha, alright!” Ruan Xiongfei rubbed his bald head, grinning widely, his apprentice surpassed him, which means Madman Ruan’s insight has conquered a universe.

As for the arm, Ruan Xiongfei didn’t even care, the mechanical arm worked just fine.

Mu Fan then looked at the middle-aged man wearing a beret, “Falcon Commander, this base can provide the S Squadron with continuous supplies.”

Falcon grinned, the cigar he was playing with remained unlit, he put it down and looked around at his comrades.

“For the S Squadron’s destiny, everyone vote.”

“At that time, accepting Mu Fan onto the Flying Dragon, and now the Flying Dragon might be reorganized, hahahaha, this feeling is indeed special.” Falcon’s voice exuberantly echoed, his tone filled with appreciation and nothing else.

“As long as independence is maintained, there’s no objection.” Surprisingly, Wizard, who used to clash with Mu Fan, was the first to speak.

“Of course, I will grant you level-one access, come and go freely.” Mu Fan’s eyes were bright.

“Boss, I follow your lead.” Tank looked at Falcon.

“United in glory or defeat, Falcon, just make the decision.” Yi said.

The group spoke one after another.

“Then so be it.” Falcon looked at Mu Fan, laughing heartily, “Flying Dragon, full consent. Also, kindly repair the Flying Dragon too.”

At this moment, a trace of joy finally appeared on Mu Fan’s face.

These comrades who had been tested through life and death are what he needs most.

Because the challenges ahead… he has a premonition the enemies will become more numerous and more formidable.

Lu Qingxue quietly watched Mu Fan’s resolute profile, her gaze gentle as water.

…

…

“Shadow Island is ready to relocate.”

In the vast command room, Mu Fan stood with hands behind his back, gazing at the massive light screen.

Whether to protect his friends, or to achieve his goals, from today he formally steps onto the cosmic stage.

In the distant space, within the second star domain, lies a vast, boundless Chaotic Stone Sea.

Since the Federation split, this starry sky has appeared even more desolate, with not even an occasional passing merchant ship.

Yet at this moment, the tranquility is abruptly shattered as an asteroid fragments.

A colossal artificial island, bristling with steel, bulldozes through all obstacles ahead with a fierce demeanor, charging out of this Chaotic Stone Sea.

“All personnel, please enter the fortress. Shadow Island is about to enter transition mode.”

Encased in a thick energy shield, the massive island begins to accelerate and transition.

Over a thousand members of the Iron Clan stand inside the heavy steel fortress, watching the scenery sweep past.

They entered in extreme haste.

But the highest-level alert left them with no choice but to drop everything.

Clan Leader Saran, robust and clad in iron war armor, stands at the forefront of the group, wielding a Heavy Hammer.

Someone walks up behind, asking what’s going on.

They really like their current peaceful living environment.

No oppression, they can forge their preferred weapons and armor freely.

Moreover, there are such advanced smelting facilities here.

This is truly the life every Iron Clansman dreams of.

But now, the sudden disturbance leaves them worried.

“Mu Fan has encountered enemies, and he needs help.”

Robust and rugged in appearance, Saran’s expression turns serious as she glances back at her clansmen.

“United in glory, destitute in loss. I hope everyone understands.”

“Clan Leader Saran, rest assured, I still want to develop my skills further. Anyone who bothers me, I’ll smash his head with my hammer,” a burly man declares, pounding his chest with a loud thump.

“Fight!”

“Fight!”

The Iron Clan, armed to the teeth, is now in high spirits.

In the central command room, all circumstances come into Black’s view, which is satisfied with the Iron Clan’s performance, so it coughs slightly.

“I am Alpha, the Deputy Commander of Shadow Island.”

In the fortress, all eyes turn towards the light screen, where a giant pixelated smiley face appears.

“You belong to Shadow Island’s non-combatant sequence, so there’s no need to be nervous about this battle.”

Saran looks up at Black’s projection, “Lord Alpha, what do you need us to do?”

“What to do?” Black repeats, then laughs grimly, “Just watch quietly, this is Shadow Island’s official debut. You’ve just arrived, so it’s time for you to see Shadow Island’s power.”

As the words fall, the Iron Clan feels the steel floor beneath them resonate like waves hitting rocks.

At this moment, it seems the entire island is… transforming?

The Iron Clansmen quickly turn to look at the crystallized glass.

What they see fills each of them with an overwhelming sensation of suffocation.

Before their eyes…

The countless buildings they are familiar with are rising slowly.

100 meters…

500 meters…

800 meters…

What is revealed beneath the massive steel city…

Countless shadowy layers.

In the shadowy layers, a seemingly endless fleet slowly emerges.

“Shadow Fleet, First Fleet… launch!”

“Shadow Fleet, Second Fleet… launch!”

With Black’s grim voice reverberating, six sub-fleets, totaling 2,400 giant ships, ascend silently.

Following the warships’ ascent, tens of thousands of heavy artillery silently rise across the island!

Like a forest of steel rising in an instant, the massive island resembles a colossal sea urchin, its spikes intimidating.

On the central landing pad, the warship Dawn, re-enhanced with ores from the Steel Ruins, now measures 3,500 meters!

At this moment, under Black’s command, it flies at the forefront of the fleet, like a giant arrow heading into the vast cosmos.

Deep, steadfast, boundless black.

Countless muzzles.

Watching this immense, solemn fleet from such proximity, the brain-crushing, thought-freezing impact is indescribable.

“This is what a war among the stars truly is.”

Saran murmurs to herself, her body quivering with excitement at this moment.

…

At the other end of distant space, Mu Fan raises his eyes indifferently, gazing into the profound unknown of the cosmos.

“Waiting for your arrival… what of it?”
