Chapter 468: Chapter 331: Siloke Star Sea Campaign (Five-in-One)_5

"Communication link successful...."

Shush!

Three image frames appeared; the one on the left featured a tall, muscular, middle-aged man with bronze skin.

This man was the Rock Army Legion Commander, Su Dan.

In the middle image was a man wearing red Fourth Generation Prosthetic Armor, with graying hair, a broad forehead, and sharp eyes.

This man was Vice Legion General Betfa of the Third Blood-colored Fang Army of the Dark Star Empire.

On the right was an image of a tall, black-haired, sharp-eyed middle-aged man.

This man was the Grey Gun Army Legion Commander, Sailuka.

"General Betfa, I finally managed to contact you!"

Bisaian exclaimed in surprise.

"What happened?"

General Betfa asked steadily.

"The Federation’s forces have launched a surprise attack on Hamms Planet Fortress and the entire transfer zone; we can hardly hold on!"

Bisaian reported anxiously.

"How is that possible? How did they get there? The Danube Star Sea has been blocked by us."

"I don’t know, they may have taken a detour."

"Don’t panic; I’m ordering all nearby troops to reinforce immediately. You must hold on!"

General Betfa said with furrowed brows.

At this moment, the Grey Gun Army Legion Commander, Sailuka, quickly patted his chest and stated fervently,

"General Betfa, worry not; I am already on my way to reinforce. I just happen to be out training troops today. Just give me two more hours, and I will arrive at the battlefield. Even if it costs me my life, I will help the Empire hold the Siloke Star Sea!"

"That’s right, no matter how powerful the enemy, we will fight with everything we have and stand with the Empire!"

The Rock Army Legion Commander also appeared ready to face death.

"Very good! Worthy of being the Empire’s faithful allies, I will report your loyalty to the Emperor."

General Betfa praised, satisfied.

He needed time to gather support troops and hurry over; the Siloke Star Sea, their supply line, could absolutely not suffer a breach.

"Thank you, Lord Betfa!"

Sailuka and his companion replied excitedly.

It is well-said that merely working hard won’t lead to recognition; one must also showcase their abilities in front of their superiors.

...

At the edge of the Danube Star Sea.

At this moment, the Battlecruiser Wind was moving towards the Siloke Star Sea.

Inside the central control room.

Weikank sat in the command chair, casually supporting his chin with one hand, listening to soothing music.

Beside Weikank stood a tall woman with flaxen hair and a beautiful face, dressed in captain’s attire.

At this moment, a prompt popped up on the operation screen.

Anisha, with a surprised look on her face, reported,

"Lord Weikank, we have received a communication request from General Betfa."

"Turn off the music and connect!"

Weikank immediately responded, sitting up straight.

Anisha, upon hearing Weikank’s words, immediately picked up the communication.

General Betfa’s image then appeared on the screen.

"General!"

Weikank stood up and saluted.

"Weikank, Hamms Planet Fortress in the Siloke Star Sea has been attacked by the Federation. I order you to rush over to support immediately."

General Betfa issued a direct command to Weikank.

"I understand."

Weikank responded, slightly moving his expression.

General Betfa didn’t say much more to Weikank and cut off the communication; he needed to quickly inform the Imperial troops active near the Siloke Star Sea.

At that moment, Anisha hesitated before speaking,

"Lord Weikank, why didn’t you refuse General Betfa’s order? Aren’t we escorting something very important?"

"Anisha, you need to understand something. Isn’t our convoy’s destination the Hamms Planet Fortress? Now that the Hamms Planet Fortress is under attack, wouldn’t our path be blocked?"

"Could we not pause the mission? Wouldn’t reinforcing be too risky?"

"Let me put it this way, if the attackers were the Federation’s veteran legions, I definitely wouldn’t reinforce. But as far as I know, all of the Federation’s forces have their own stationed defense zones; it’s simply not possible for them to mobilize!"

"Then which group of Federation forces did the surprise attack?"

Anisha asked, quite puzzled.

"If I’m not mistaken, the attacking force should be the newly formed Thirteenth Legion of the Federation. A newly established legion wouldn’t have much combat strength; at most, they’re relying on advanced weapons and the element of surprise to gain some advantage. But stationed in the Siloke Star Sea is the Empire’s Black Crow Army, whose combat strength is nothing to scoff at, so our support won’t be problematic."

Weikank analyzed rationally.

"Alright!"

Although Anisha still felt very uneasy, she agreed with Weikank’s assessment.

"Pass my order, accelerate forward!"

Weikank then issued the command.

"Yes!"

Anisha and others responded.

...

In the Siloke Star Sea.

At defense post DX-06.

Su Ming controlled the mecha standing in the central control room, where bodies were floating.

At that moment, Zhang Yi’s voice came over the communication channel.

"The clearance of the defense post’s interior is complete; no survivors were left."

"Good job."

Su Ming replied, satisfied. He planned to utilize this defense post, and absolutely no survivors could be allowed to cause disturbance or damage; they needed to be completely eliminated.

At that moment, Angel reported over the communication channel,

"Commander Su, the engineering ship has arrived!"

"I know, tell them to come to the central control room."

Su Ming commanded briefly.

"Yes!"

Angel immediately responded.

Before long, a small engineering ship flew over and connected with the defense post.
