453: Chapter 412: Conditions (Part 1) 453: Chapter 412: Conditions (Part 1) In the command room of the Black Brilliance ship, the operator reported, “The battle has ended.

After a radar scan, all the invading enemies have been eliminated, though the damage is slightly over the limit.”

“Damage report,”

Li Ruiqi directly asked.

“A total of five hundred twenty-one trainees participated, deploying five hundred twenty-one mechas.

We eliminated seven hundred twenty-six special Type I Disguised Floating Insects.

The Type I Iron Guard Mechas sustained minor damage to one hundred twenty units, major damage to eighty-two units, and three were scrapped!

In terms of personnel, seventy-eight were lightly injured, twelve severely, but there were no fatalities.”

The operator reported with a stiff resolution, as the statistics were simply dreadful.

Li Ruiqi’s aged face was tight, showing no trace of his thoughts.

He turned his head and asked Putmi, “How much longer until we reach the first stop?”

“About seven days at sub-light speed,”

“Have all combat departments intensify their training,”

Li Ruiqi commanded sternly.

“You really don’t need to be so upset.

After all, they have never dealt with space combat from start to finish; it’s normal if it’s not ideal,”

Putmi tried to console him.

Li Ruiqi said harshly, “I can choose not to be upset, I can choose not to be angry.

But those monsters will not show any mercy, and now we can only hastily send the unprepared into battle.”

After hearing this, Putmi, unusually, fell silent, finally responding,

“I understand.”

…

Seven days later, amidst the dark starry sky, Black Brilliance activated its hovering suspension system, and a gray planet in the distant Star Sea came into view.

At the entrance of the highest-level combat room aboard Black Brilliance, a special visitor was welcomed.

Spade, Augustus, Li Ruiqi, Putmi, and Delair arrived.

The guard saluted and then opened the door.

As the five men walked in, Li Ruiqi stopped, turned to the soldier at the door, and instructed, “Strictly prohibit anyone from disturbing us.”

“Yes, Captain,”

The guard respectfully replied.

The door then closed!

The dim lighting of the special combat room automatically turned on, followed by the automatic unfolding of an image projection.

A line appeared on the display, indicating the start of a remote communication, and soon Council President Long Ming and Ithlin’s images appeared.

Long Ming said sternly to Delair, “Mr.

Delair, we have fulfilled the conditions we promised you; can we begin our discussion now?”

Delair’s face twisted as if he was making a great decision and said,

“Honorable Federation Council Chairman Long Ming, I appreciate your bringing me here, and I now trust your sincerity.

We can start our discussion.

The dead star you see now was once the mother star controlled by Batak Country.

After the fall of Batak Country, this planet was expelled by Ring Star City and came to be here.

I was once the hereditary Duke of the Batique Kingdom, in charge of the entire kingdom’s resource distribution.

I am ashamed that during the most perilous time, I chose to cowardly escape.”

Long Ming gave Delair some dignity, avoiding teasing him about fleeing to Ring Star City with a wealth of treasures, and considerately said,

“Mr.

Delair, let the past remain in the past.

People must look forward, and not always blame themselves.

The Federation has extended an olive branch of friendship, and we hope you will not disappoint us.”

“I understand, let me briefly explain.

Although our Batak Country was destroyed and most of the weapons were destroyed, not everything was lost.

To my knowledge, there still a considerable amount of Star Stone hidden in our National Treasury.

This was a private fund of the Royal Family.

Most importantly, our country once purchased the technology to manufacture the third generation Mecha; however, due to limited funds, no production line was constructed.

Also, a large amount of raw materials and other technologies were left behind, along with the cutting-edge equipment obtained from Ring Star City.

I know exactly where they are.”

Mr.

Delair laid it all out on the table.

“Very well, what do you want then?”

Council President Long Ming inquired.

Mr.

Delair was quite astute.

Although he had reached a cooperation agreement with the Federation, he always held something back.

For instance, regarding the previously agreed exploration of their Mother Star, he refused to discuss its contents, insisting it be negotiated in person.

Furthermore, with regard to the whole Heavenly Cup matter and the entire Negative Universe situation, he revealed only bits of information, always ensuring he held sufficient bargaining chips in hand.

“Respected Council President, I don’t ask for much.

I hope you can grant me a noble status with certain immunities, allowing me and my family to live with dignity within the Federation System.

Moreover, I hope to receive ten percent of the profits from this venture,” Mr.

Delair stated his requirements, measuring his ask quite well.

In fact, if he had wanted to take a larger share, he probably could have succeeded, but the aftermath of such success would not necessarily be pleasant.

His current situation didn’t allow him to make excessive demands.

However, Council President Long Ming did not fully agree to Mr.

Delair’s request, stating directly, “Exploring Batak Country carries extreme risk; we might have to pay a hefty price.

Moreover, no one can guarantee how much wealth still remains there after so many years, so I can only promise you a five percent share of the profits.”

Mr.

Delair’s face twitched fiercely; he had anticipated that Long Ming would drive a hard bargain, but not to such an extent.

But it didn’t matter, Mr.

Delair had reserved a move for himself, and he said,

“Council President Long Ming, I understand your predicament, but I still insist on ten percent of the profits.

Of course, you won’t lose out, because apart from what I’ve mentioned earlier, there is one more thing of utmost importance…”

Upon hearing Mr.

Delair’s words, although Long Ming’s expression didn’t change much, he inwardly sneered.

Indeed, none who survived were pushovers.

“Oh, what is that?

I’m not unreasonable.

Speak up, and if it’s weighty enough, I might consider conceding.”

Mr.

Delair replied confidently.

“Rest assured, what I have will definitely satisfy you, only…”

“Only what?”

“It’s like this…”

Mr.

Delair’s voice lowered as he spoke.

————————————————–

Inside the Black Brilliance Hangar, Su Mo was squatting, watching members, one by one, pilot the Iron Guard Mechas during training.

It must be said that the training during this period had remarkably improved every member, much stronger compared to before.

If given enough time to grow, Su Mo believed each of them could become a master in their own right.

At that moment, Chen Shan walked over to Su Mo, squatted down beside him, and handed him a Nutrition Bar.

“Have some, it’s really bizarre, the higher-ups have been requiring us to eat these things daily, and it’s becoming unbearable on the palate.”

“The intensity of recent training has been quite high.”

Su Mo took the Nutrition Bar, opened it, and started eating.

“Probably because our last space battle looked so poor, so they issued a high-intensity training order.

But it’s no big deal, the benefits of the training are ultimately for ourselves,” Chen Shan didn’t seem to mind.
