Chapter 1227: Chapter 454: Shifting Responsibility (Part 4)

Ferion spoke as he ate.

“That’s good.”

Su Ming felt slightly relieved hearing this, after all, Shu’en and the others were in the Crimson Country, helping Queen Hai Lan reorganize the fleet.

“You’re worried about the Crimson Country and the stationed troops, right? If so, you don’t need to worry. The Dark Star Empire has now shifted the main battlefield to other areas, and the probability of fighting is very low.”

“Shifted to where?”

Su Ming asked, slightly stunned.

“Shifted to the Mist Star Sea, they’re fighting fiercely over there, and Sky Dome City has reinforced several times.”

Ferion explained to Su Ming.

“Yes, I’ve heard about this, but I’m just a bit curious about their purpose?”

“Not sure, it might be to force Sky Dome City to deploy the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Wind Dome to reverse the situation in the Danube Star Sea. But unfortunately, when Sky Dome City wanted to send the Wind Dome over, Lord Long Bai suppressed it.”

“Hmm, what are you guys back for this time?”

Su Ming looked curiously at Ferion.

“What else, of course it’s because of the Tidal Star Sea incident.”

Ferion sighed and said.

“Are you going to lead a team to the Tidal Star Sea?”

Su Ming asked in surprise.

“Yeah.”

“What troops did the Federation assign to you? Our Thirteenth Legion alone isn’t enough, right?”

“What other troops could they give, of course, they pulled a bit from here and there to piece together a force for us.”

Ferion explained helplessly.

“Will that work? The Heavenly Water has already been sunk.”

“The Council assigned the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme to our Thirteenth Legion.”

“What? That Star Destroyer was in Xinlad’s hands, and it got assigned to you?”

Su Ming asked in shock.

“Haha, to be precise, it’s thanks to you.”

Jone said with a smile.

“What does this have to do with me?”

“I’ll tell you, if Xinlad got promoted to General, that Thunder Extreme would most likely be assigned to him. But now things are different; you’re most likely to be promoted, and the Thunder Extreme is assigned to a General, so it’s reasonable for it to be assigned to our Thirteenth Legion, considering the future General is right here.”

Jone flattered Su Ming.

“Don’t say that, it’s far from settled; the assigning of the Thunder Extreme has nothing to do with me.”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

“Kid, you’re good at everything, except you’re too modest and steady, like an old man, not at all like a young person.”

Ferion joked.

“No more talking, let’s have a toast to wish you victory and a safe return when you head to the Tidal Star Sea!”

Su Ming raised his glass to Ferion and Jone.

“Alright, to our victory and safe return.”

Ferion and Jone raised their glasses and clinked them.

Just when their glasses were about to clink, Su Ming suddenly felt something was off, stopped quickly, and asked with a strange expression.

“Wait, did you say ‘we’? Why does it feel like you’ve included me?”

“Haha, didn’t I say this kid is sharp!”

Ferion laughed heartily.

“You’re right, we came to find you this time to ask for your help; otherwise, we have no confidence in going to the Tidal Star Sea.”

Jone explained to Su Ming with great emotion.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help, I just can’t go. I’m healing from injuries and can’t get to the battlefield; also, my ship’s commander is on leave.”

Su Ming replied with a bitter smile.

“No problem, you just need to come with us, you don’t need to fight! Just stand over there, and you can deter those Tianqi Divine Country punks. Does the Sixth Seat of the Holy Temple Knight, Bailut, dare to be arrogant in front of you? I guess not even a peep.”

Jone confidently said to Su Ming.

“It’s not that exaggerated, but I really can’t go. Lord Long Bai instructed me to heal properly.”

Su Ming replied helplessly.

“Ah, if that’s the case, then there’s no other way.”

Ferion understood that Su Ming couldn’t go to the Tidal Star Sea.

“But don’t worry, as soon as my injuries are better, I’ll immediately come and support you!”

Su Ming promised Ferion and the others.

“Alright, just hearing this is enough. Cheers!”

Ferion said heartily.

“Okay, cheers!”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

Rain Capital·Sea Sound Cemetery.

The entire cemetery is laid out in a square, with ancient bluestone slabs paving the ground, green grass growing in the crevices, and blue cherry trees planted on both sides.

Within the cemetery stand numerous tombstones, resting the heroes who sacrificed over the years in Rain Capital.

At this moment, in the central area, a brand-new tombstone stands, engraved with a kind photo of Annabeth.

An elderly man dressed in black mourning clothes, leaning on a black cane with his left hand, face full of wrinkles, deep eyes, and silver hair pinned up, stood solemnly in front of the tombstone.

This elder is Rachel, the Deputy City Lord of Rain Capital, and Annabeth’s sister.

Behind Rachel stood family members and many leaders of Rain Capital, all dressed in black mourning clothes.

Seventy percent of the mourning family members and leaders are female.

Each of them appeared very saddened, sobbing quietly.

At this moment, Timi approached the tombstone holding a bouquet of bright white lilies. She bowed deeply and gently placed the flowers in front of the tombstone, looking at Annabeth’s photo with reddened eyes, sobbing continuously as tears fell one by one.
