Chapter 318: Chapter 307: Sticking Close (Five in One) - Part 2

At that moment, a lazy voice came from beside Su Ming.

"Rhein, move over to the side!"

"Okay!"

Rhein, who was sitting next to Su Ming, immediately got up and moved to the side.

Su Ming turned his head to look over and saw Teacher Mia holding a sack in her left hand and a bunch of canned beers in her right hand as she sat down.

"???"

Just then, Mia opened the sack and shouted at Su Ming and the others,

"Come on, come on, eat popcorn!"

"..."

Everyone was silently dumbfounded.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Teacher, this isn’t really appropriate, is it?"

Rhein and the others hesitated in response.

"What’s wrong with it, here!"

Mia directly grabbed handfuls and stuffed them into Su Ming and the others’ hands. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Su Ming looked at the popcorn he had received and asked sullenly,

"Teacher, where did this popcorn come from?"

"Got it from the cafeteria."

Mia spoke while opening a can of beer, took a big gulp, then grabbed some popcorn and stuffed it in her mouth.

Anyone who didn’t know would think she was here to watch a movie, completely out of sync with the serious atmosphere around.

At that moment, teachers like Alfam and Tang Xuan looked at Mia with darkened faces.

"Hehe, do you guys want some too?"

Mia awkwardly asked with a laugh.

"Hmph~"

The teachers all coldly snorted and turned their heads away.

"If you don’t want it, I’ll eat it myself."

Mia muttered to herself, feeling somewhat snubbed.

At that moment, the devices inside the Starlight Sphere started operating.

Instantly, countless digital codes flashed across all the crystal surfaces, sweeping across like a meteor shower.

Following that, the entire scenery underwent a drastic change, and in an instant, Su Ming and the others felt as if they were in the vast starry sky.

"It’s starting, the devices are powered up!"

"Look, look, so many ships and mechas!"

...

A number of students exclaimed.

Su Ming looked around at the displayed starry sky and soon saw Anfas Empire’s main star, and countless ships, fortresses, and mechas forming multiple layers of defense.

"Wow, this is a billion-strong army, so spectacular!"

"Look, isn’t that Anfas Empire’s 5th Level Battleship·Fire Fang?"

...

Allu and others exclaimed in amazement.

"It’s not right, these troops don’t amount to a billion-strong army, what we are seeing must be part of the Neutral Country combined forces."

Su Ming sensibly spoke.

"Definitely, who would gather all their forces in one place, these Neutral Countries are weak but not idiotic."

Mia said with a yawn.

"Teacher, do you mean these Neutral Countries still have hidden troops?"

"Isn’t that obvious!"

"Hehe."

Rhein and the others embarrassedly laughed.

Time gradually slipped away.

In a blink of an eye, over three hours passed, and still, the interstellar battlefield remained calm, with no sign of the Imperial Army.

Many students at the scene quietly discussed.

"When will the Imperial Army’s troops arrive, how much longer do we have to wait? We’ve almost been sitting here all morning, right?"

"Yeah, I wonder if the Imperial Army and Neutral Countries have started fighting?"

"Not sure, there’s no concrete news on the Star Cluster Forum."

...

"Teacher, when exactly will the battle start?"

Rhein and several others asked anxiously.

"How would I know, just wait!"

Mia was quite calm.

"Teacher, do you think this war could trigger the S2 season?"

Rhein suddenly thought of something and curiously asked.

Su Ming looked at Mia upon hearing Rhein’s question.

The so-called S1 season was actually when Dark Star Empire and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country rebelled, and the Federation launched an expedition, which ultimately ended in failure.

"It’s not impossible! A spark usually ignites like this."

Mia pondered for a moment before replying.

"Hmph, I don’t believe the Dark Star Empire dares to fight us."

Zhang Yi said somewhat annoyed.

"Let me tell you, don’t view things too one-sidedly. I ask you, which legions of the Dark Star Empire are mainly invading the Neutral Country?"

Mia asked with a smile.

"The Third Legion·Blood-colored Fang Army, Thirteenth Legion·Skull Legion."

Su Ming promptly replied.

"Let me tell you this, if it weren’t for the Federation’s Third Legion·Immortal Legion being stationed at the Mist Star Sea Base and the control of the Federation Government, they probably would have already come back and thrashed the Blood-colored Fang Army by now!"

"Why?"

"Because the Immortal Legion has always dreamt of thrashing the Blood-colored Fang Army. Back during the expedition, due to various reasons, the Immortal Legion was defeated by the Blood-colored Fang Army, suffering heavy casualties. The family behind the Immortal Legion has always wanted to avenge this blood feud!"

Mia explained to Su Ming and the others.

"I see, so there are quite a few within the Federation who want to fight the Dark Star Empire."

Su Ming said thoughtfully after hearing Mia’s words.

"Right, but the current situation is that we can’t fight, and also can’t win."

Mia said, taking a sip of beer.

Su Ming sighed softly after hearing Mia’s words.

He was very clear in his heart that the reason for the Federation’s dire situation was due to some critical mistakes.

The Federation shouldn’t covet things beyond its capability when it was not strong enough.

"It’s just bad luck. Both the Chilami Clan and Mechanical Clan attack us like maniacs every day, otherwise would we be suffering like this?"

Rhein responded irritably.

"Didn’t both clans also attack the Dark Star Empire and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country?"

Allu and others asked, confused.

"Right, they did attack those two empires as well. But the scale and intensity were not as severe as the attacks on the Federation! Not to mention the Chilami Clan, take the Mechanical Clan, for example, they successively conquered Black Flame Star, Earth Flame Star, heading towards the Third Planet as if they intended to annihilate our nation. It’s a miracle we won."
