Chapter 400: Chapter 320 Military Control (Five-in-One)_4

...

"What’s the situation? Why are there so many fleets and mechas?"

Mi Fei was dumbfounded.

Su Ming frowned and then looked at the scanning device, observing the distribution of red dots on the screen, and spoke calmly.

"Activate the optics, capture the relevant images, and order Rhein and the others to immediately prepare for combat!"

"Right!"

Mi Fei quickly responded.

She first sounded the combat alarm and then activated the optics to capture images from a distance.

Soon, the images of the area represented by red dots appeared.

There was a fleet painted with blood-red fangs violently battling with an unidentified group of ships.

Mechas from both sides were fiercely clashing in the starry sky.

One after another, the mechas were destroyed, exploding like fireworks.

"Oh, my God, what kind of fleet is this? To dare attack the Imperial Army?"

Mi Fei was so shocked, she could hardly close her mouth.

Su Ming glanced once and immediately said to Captain Hagett.

"Let’s get out of here now, they’re busy fighting and won’t have time to care about us!"

"Okay, moving away from them now!"

Captain Hagett replied, very tense.

Mi Fei and the others quickly maneuvered the transport ship at full speed to leave, fearing they’d get caught in the crossfire.

Fortunately, they were some distance from the combat zone, and since the other party didn’t have time to bother with them, Fatty Dun managed to escape without incident.

However, even so, Hagett and the others didn’t completely let their guard down.

Su Ming also didn’t stand down from combat readiness and kept Rhein and the others on standby in their mechas.

...

One day later.

Fatty Dun reached the outer space of the Tasji Kingdom.

Inside the command room, Captain Hagett took a deep breath and said to Su Ming.

"We’re about to reach the Tasji Kingdom’s Main Star; we’ve come back safely and miraculously."

"Mm!"

Su Ming nodded in response.

Just then, Mi Fei exclaimed in panic.

"Grandpa, a large fleet has appeared ahead, led by a 4th-level battleship!"

"Which country’s is it? Is it the Tasji Kingdom’s?"

Captain Hagett asked in astonishment.

"I don’t know, I can’t identify them."

Mi Fei replied in a frightened tone.

Su Ming frowned deeply upon hearing this; they were about to enter the Tasji Kingdom, and now they’ve run into an unidentified fleet, which was just ridiculous.

At that moment, a warning popped up on the operation screen.

"Warning: Receiving an unknown communication request!"

Captain Hagett and Mi Fei both looked to Su Ming.

"Accept!"

Su Ming said with a firm voice.

Captain Hagett quickly accepted the communication request, and suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing Third Generation Exoskeleton Armor, with a rugged face and sharp eyes, appeared on the operation screen.

"I am Mondi from the Tasji Kingdom, the special security defense force! Who are you?"

"We’re from the Tasji Kingdom’s Fatty Dun Transport Company, returning to the Main Star, having just completed a transport mission."

"Turn around and leave, the Main Star is now off-limits."

Mondi spoke very authoritatively.

"Ah? Why, sir?"

Captain Hagett and the others were dumbfounded upon hearing that they won’t be able to return to their own country.

"No reason, why all the nonsense? Tasji Kingdom is now under special control, strictly forbidding any spacecraft from entering or leaving."

Mondi replied impatiently.

Upon hearing this, Captain Hagett didn’t know what to do and looked helplessly at Su Ming.

Su Ming sighed deeply and said to Captain Hagett.

"Let me negotiate."

"Mr. Su Ming, is it possible?"

Captain Hagett asked, somewhat worried.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine."

Su Ming replied very calmly.

He could tell at a glance that this fleet wasn’t from the Tasji Kingdom, because the face and accent of this officer Mondi was not Tasji.

Moreover, the Tasji Kingdom, although powerful, didn’t have the luxury of sending a 4th-level battleship to patrol.

"Okay!"

Captain Hagett had no other option but to nod in response.

Su Ming walked straight to the operation screen, took out his identity card, and courteously said to Mondi.

"Officer Mondi, I am Su Ming, a student at the Federation Royal Court Academy, and Fatty Dun was hired by us. We now need to go to the Tasji Kingdom’s Main Star for supplies, and to complete procedures to return to the Federation, please give us your convenience!"

Mondi frowned deeply upon hearing Su Ming’s words and after some contemplation said.

"Fine, I’ll let you enter the Main Star, but you won’t be able to land at the interstellar airport."

"Why?"

Su Ming was taken aback.

"Because the interstellar airport is full, there’s simply no space available for your ships to dock!"

"How are we supposed to get supplies then?"

"That’s not my problem, figure it out yourself! Also, the Federation area is now strictly controlled, if you need to process documentation to go to the Federation, you’ll have to go to the Federation Military Department which is stationed in the Neutral Country of Tasji."

Mondi cut off the communication after speaking.

Seeing that the other party hung up, Su Ming also had a bit of a headache, it was clear they were being disregarded.

"Mr. Su Ming, what do we do now? If we can’t dock at the interstellar airport, we won’t be able to resupply."

Captain Hagett said, troubled.

"Captain Hagett, does your country have any space supply stations?"

Su Ming asked thoughtfully.

"No, because of the Mechanical Clan, we don’t build space supply stations here. Because our technology is particularly poor, it’s easy for the Mechanical Clan to invade, and then the space supply stations turn into weapons that strike the Main Star."

Captain Hagett shook his head in response.

"That’s troublesome; without supplies, could you make a direct flight to the planet?"

Su Ming asked, finding the situation tricky.

"Actually, under normal circumstances, a 4th-level transport ship could indeed make the round trip to the Federation without resupply. However, due to our hasty departure after landing and because of limited funds, our supplies are not fully stocked! So right now, it’s only enough for a one-way trip to the Black Flame Star, and if we can’t resupply on the Black Flame Star, that would be disastrous. And supplies on the Black Flame Star are typically very expensive."
