Shadows of the Deep Space

Onite suppressed the joy in his heart and said with a chuckle.

"Sir, are you telling the truth or not?"

"Of course it's true. You are really lucky! You've connected with someone influential, and this transfer order is all thanks to them."

Henrik opened the drawer and took out a transfer order from it.

Onite saw the transfer order and immediately smiled, extremely pleased, and said.

"Sir, where have I been transferred to? Will there be a raise and vacation? Or maybe a promotion?"

"About the promotion, I'm not sure. Have a look for yourself."

Henrik directly handed the transfer order to Onite.

Onite took the transfer order excitedly, quickly opened it, and his smile froze on his face, speaking in panic.

"How did I get transferred to the Thirteenth Legion?"

"That I don't know. Anyway, your superior happens to be escorting a batch of important materials to the Abyss of Descent and will soon pass through here. He'll be here shortly!"

Henrik said to Onite with a smile.

Onite listened to Henrik's words as if he had been struck by lightning and was completely dumbfounded.

He originally thought of being transferred to a safer rear area, but now he has become frontline personnel.

...

Blackthorn Fortress·External Starry Sky.

The pitch-black starry sky rippled as the ships including the Doomed Light emerged from subspace.

Inside the Doomed Light Central Control Room.

Timi reported to Su Ming.

"Officer Su Ming, we have already arrived at the external starry sky of the Cosmic Army Headquarters."

"Finally back again, apply to the Cosmic Army Headquarters for docking at the Blackthorn Fortress·interstellar airport."

Su Ming replied with slight sentiment.

"Yes!"

Timi responded respectfully.

After instructing, Su Ming raised his wristband, connected to the World Eye's network, and checked the information on these edges.

He quickly came across several breaking news stories.

The most hotly discussed one was about the appearance of a god-level creature in wormhole space-time.

Su Ming clicked on the news and immediately saw Heluz's photo.

Even though it was just a photo, Su Ming felt a strong sense of danger and his nerves instinctively tensed when he saw it.

He couldn't stop staring at the photo of this creature, feeling increasingly shocked.

No wonder the Federation's defense line was torn open; it's because such a terrifying creature appeared.

Su Ming rubbed his chin, pondered for a while, and then closed the news to continue browsing.

The second most popular news was about the Shabask Kingdom being attacked by a monster tide.

Su Ming clicked to take a look, and saw that in the external starry sky of the Shabask Kingdom, numerous space wormholes had appeared with monsters pouring out like a tide, creating a spectacular scene.

Fortunately, the Shabask Kingdom had forces stationed from four factions, and everyone dispatched troops to carry out a siege, successfully quelling this monster tide attack. Therefore, the World Eye was not seriously affected.

At this moment, Timi reported to Su Ming.

"Officer Su Ming, our docking application has been approved."

"Mm."

Su Ming nodded in response.

"Target, Blackthorn Fortress·interstellar airport, pass through entrance 2."

Timi issued orders to Li Menghan and others.

....

Shortly thereafter, the Doomed Light and other ships entered the interior of Blackthorn Fortress, arriving above the interstellar airport.

The ships descended in order, neatly docking at the designated berthing spaces.

Timi then reported to Su Ming.

"Officer Su Ming, we have safely arrived at the transit location."

"Mm, very good. Thank you for your hard work! Rhein, you all will be stationed here; keep watch over the things being transported on the ship."

Su Ming nodded in approval.

"Understood!"

Rhein and others responded seriously.

Although this is the Cosmic Army Headquarters, they don't dare to be careless in case something goes wrong.

"Mm!"

Su Ming then got up and left.

Moments later, the primary boarding gate of the Doomed Light opened.

Su Ming walked down the gangway and was immediately met by the waiting Colonel Onite.

He couldn't help but smile slightly; this guy indeed has some skill, waiting here for him so early.

"Sir Su Ming."

Colonel Onite trotted up, greeted ingratiatingly.

"Onite, how come you're here?"

Su Ming looked at him with a faint smile, knowing full well, and said.

"Sir Su Ming, don't tease me. Why did you transfer me to the Thirteenth Legion? Weren't we agreed you'd help transfer me to the rear?"

Onite said with a bitter face.

"Isn't transferring to the Thirteenth Legion and following me good?"

Su Ming deliberately asked.

"Sir Su Ming, of course, it's good to follow you. But you know me, I lack ambition and am timid; really unfit for heavy responsibilities."

Onite replied tactfully.

Su Ming wasn't annoyed but instead raised his hand to pat Onite's shoulder and said.

"Onite, I know you're afraid of dying, but rest assured, I won't let you fight. You just need to assist me with logistics. Also, as long as you follow me, I guarantee you'll be safe, and I'm always generous—stay with me, and the benefits won't be lacking!"

"Really?"

"A gentleman never goes back on his word!"

"Then I'll follow you, sir, and hope you'll take care of me."

Onite listened to Su Ming's words, his expression constantly changing, then bit the bullet and agreed.

After all, he's now dealing with the Abyss of Descent, and his superior isn't fond of him; now following Su Ming won't make things worse.

"Good, here's 10 billion, you'll be in charge of logistics affairs from now on."

Su Ming directly raised his wristband and transferred 10 billion Federation Coins to Onite.

"Thank you, sir."

Onite's face lit up upon seeing Su Ming transfer such a large amount to him, secretly thinking: "Now I've chosen the right person, Sir Su Ming isn't just ordinarily generous."
