Chapter 429: Things Remain, People Have Changed (5-in-1)_3
It's a pity, chasing now is already too late.
Su Ming and the others had already flown back to the fleet and boarded the ships quickly.
Soon, they all entered the interior of the ships, and then the Sunshine and other ships started superluminal flight, each one entering subspace.
"Oh dear, a bunch of useless people! They've escaped again."
Rui Deng stomped his foot in anger.
At this time, Bishop Acayin's aged face was rather calm. He raised his hand to bring up the image comparison of the Shadow Lord.
Soon the identification information popped up.
Fake V Generation Mecha·Shadow Lord.
Driver: Su Ming.
Identity: Federation Vice Admiral, affiliated with the Thirteenth Legion.
Honor Mark: Eight Red Moons....
...
Bishop Acayin looked at the displayed information, his old face wriggling slightly, and finally sighed.
"I thought I would catch a big fish, but it turned out to be a shark, alas...."

Several hours later.
In the Sunshine command room.
Su Ming sat steadily in the command chair, with Rhein and others standing solemnly beside him.
Timi checked the fleet's navigation status and reported to Su Ming.
"Commander Su Ming, if nothing unexpected happens, we should have already shaken off the enemy's pursuit and are safe now."
"Mm, good job."
Su Ming nodded slightly in response.
Upon hearing this, Rhein and the others visibly relaxed, then started cursing.
"I really don't get it, the Manlituo Star Sea is a crucial route to the Abyss of Descent for the Federation, and such an important area should not have been cut off by the enemy just like that."
"Yeah, what are the stationed troops and patrol units doing here?"
....
Su Ming did not stop Rhein and the others from complaining; indeed, the situation was a bit outrageous.
He raised his wristband to inquire about the relevant information and a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Boss, aren't you angry? We almost got killed."
Rhein and the others asked in confusion when Su Ming remained silent for a long time.
"Do you know whose troops are stationed in this area and at the forward outpost?"
Su Ming calmly asked back.
"It doesn't matter whose troops they are, it shouldn't be like this."
Rhein and the others replied angrily.
"It's the Rain Capital."
Su Ming said plainly.
Due to the proximity to the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country and the Tidal Star Sea, the security of the entire area is managed by the troops from Rain Capital.
Those words brought a silence over the entire central control room, and Rhein and others looked at each other, speechless for a long time.
At this moment, Celeste also sat on the armrest of the command chair, shrugging and saying.
"No wonder, considering their terrible performance in the Tidal Star Sea, it's not surprising that they got caught off guard."
"Cough, Celeste, don't talk recklessly."
Su Ming coughed upon hearing Celeste's words, knowing full well that many in the command room were from Rain Capital.
"Sigh, Celeste is right. The Rain Capital has indeed had issues in recent years; capturing such an important central node silently by the enemy is simply shameful."
Timi also spoke helplessly.
For a moment, many operators lowered their heads.
Seeing this, Su Ming smiled and reassured them.
"Alright, everyone makes mistakes; it's not your fault, don't take it to heart."
He then glanced at Rhein and the others.
Rhein immediately understood and spoke.
"Yes, yes, yes, the boss is right. But speaking of which, the people of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country are really bold to do this."
"There's nothing surprising about it; they are evidently ready to tear open the beef with the Federation. Report this matter to the Cosmic Army Headquarters immediately."
Su Ming took a deep breath and said.
"Sir!"
Timi responded seriously.
After giving his orders, Su Ming leaned back in his chair, propping his chin with one hand, his eyes flickering continuously.
The Federation's current situation is really getting worse, constantly under attack everywhere.
However, this doesn't mean the Federation is weak; the main reason for its difficult clashes with any forces is because the Federation is currently involved in five-line warfare.
If the Federation were to withdraw all its forces, hitting them back would ensure neither Dark Star nor Tianqi would make a sound.
But the Federation can't withdraw them.
The Three Forbidden Zones, the Tidal Star Sea, the Danube Star Sea, these are all pieces of cake.
The Federation, eating from five cakes, naturally becomes a target for everyone.
However, the Federation does need to eat so much, given its size and appetite, it can't help but do so.
But continually occupying and eating, problems will arise eventually.
"Sigh!"
Su Ming finally let out a soft sigh, indeed a storm is coming, and the sky is about to change!

Several days later, Bright Star Sea·Cosmic Army Headquarters Building.
Inside the logistics administrative office.
Onite picked up a box of tea leaves and handed it to an old man with a shrewd face in a Junior General Uniform, bald-headed, and said obsequiously.
"Sir Henrik, I heard you like tea. This is jasmine tea, a specialty from my hometown, please try it and see if it suits your taste."
"Not bad."
Henrik accepted with a smiling face.
"Sir Henrik, the escorted goods have been delivered on time and intact. And over the past twenty years, I have maintained an excellent rating in all maritime assessments. Can you approve my request for a transfer?"
Onite rubbed his hands and said.
"Sure!"
Henrik promptly replied.
Upon hearing Henrik's words, Onite was stunned and showed a look of disbelief.
In the past, whenever he applied, Henrik always found various excuses to stall, especially now with the situation being so tense, he became even less accommodating. This time he actually agreed.
