CapĂtulo 1701: Chapter 540: Undermining the Foundation (Part 6)
Even though it was not their first time visiting the Dark Forest, everyone was still on edge, as this place was exceptionally dangerous and the interference was very strong.
Very soon, the Thunder Extreme slipped into a foreboding nebula and entered the Meteorite Zone.
In the Meteorite Zone, numerous old mechas were patrolling and keeping watch in an orderly manner.
The scanning device on the Thunder Extreme instantly displayed several gray dots.
âLord Su Ming, weâve reached the Holy Armyâs sub-base!â
Timi said with a smile.
âSend them a communication request.â
Su Ming nodded and said.
âSure!â
Timi nodded in response.
âŠ
In the central control room of the Meteorite Stronghold.
Fia was instructing her subordinates.
âEveryone, stay alert. The situation has been unstable lately.â
âAlright!â
The subordinates responded in unison.
Suddenly, an anonymous communication request popped up.
The Holy Army personnel in charge of operations were dumbfounded, staring at the prompt and said to Fia, bewildered.
âLord Fia, weâve received an unidentified communication request.â
âHow is that possible? The patrol didnât report anyone approaching!â
Fia said, dumbfounded.
âI donât know, everything seems fine from my end. Should we accept the communication?â
The subordinates asked, unsure of what to do.
âAccept it.â
Fia hesitated for a moment before saying.
âYes.â
The subordinate immediately proceeded with the operation.
Swipe!
Su Mingâs image suddenly appeared on the operations screen.
When Fia saw Su Ming, her eyes widened, and then she spoke with great delight.
âLord Su Ming!â
âFia, itâs you.â
Su Ming greeted with a smile.
âLord Su Ming, where are you? How can you send us a communication request?â
Fia asked with great curiosity.
âIâm just outside the stronghold. Iâll have them lift the shipâs stealth and dock with the stronghold!â
Su Ming said to Fia.
âAlright.â
Fia nodded in agreement by reflex.
At this moment, the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme suddenly appeared in the starry sky outside the stronghold, and the strongholdâs scanning device immediately emitted a harsh alarm, with a massive red dot appearing.
âWarning: Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme detected!â
âŠ.
The external defense mechas were rendered speechless upon seeing the Thunder Extreme, their faces showing expressions of utmost terror.
Fia was also stunned by the virtual image presented, but quickly composed herself, picking up the communication device and addressing her subordinates.
âEveryone, donât panic, theyâre on our side!â
âŠ..
The groupâs anxiety eased only after hearing Fiaâs reassurance.
At this point, the Thunder Extreme slowly approached the Meteorite Stronghold, and the two successfully docked.
Su Ming, along with Ankaga and Zhang Yi, disembarked and entered the Meteorite Stronghold.
Fia hurriedly came up to greet them.
âLord Su Ming.â
âFia! Where is Miss Novlin?â
âHuh? Big Sis isnât in the stronghold, are you looking for her for something?â
Fia quickly explained.
âSheâs not here? Then where is she?â
Su Ming asked in confusion.
âSheâs in the Land of Lost.â
âWhy did she go there?â
âMost of the higher-ups of the Holy Army have gone to the Land of Lost, seems like thereâs something going on, but Iâm not too sure about the details either.â
Fia shook her head and replied.
âCan you take me to her? I have something important to discuss with her.â
Su Ming asked Fia.
âOf course.â
âDo you have a ship heading to the Land of Lost? The Thunder Extreme is too conspicuous.â
âNo problem, we happen to have a ship going to the Land of Lost, itâs about to depart.â
Fia nodded and replied.
âAlright,â
Su Ming responded with a smile.
âFollow me!â
Fia then led Su Ming and the others away.
A moment later, Su Ming and his party boarded the Level 5 Mother Ship·Evil Fang with Fia.
âNot bad, this ship has been repaired well, at least it doesnât stink anymore.â
Su Ming smiled and said to Fia.
âThanks to you for selling us this ship back then, or our lives wouldnât have been so easy these past years.â
Fia said to Su Ming.
âItâs no big deal!â
Su Ming replied with a smile.
âBut the conditions here arenât great, the upcoming journey might be a bit uncomfortable for you.â
Fia said somewhat apologetically.
âItâs no trouble.â
Su Ming didnât mind at all.
âWell then, Iâll take you to your room to rest.â
Fia guided Su Ming toward the living quarters.
âŠ
Soon after, the Level 5 Mother Ship·Evil Fang launched, heading for the Land of Lost.
The Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme cloaked again and followed behind.
