Shadows of the Deep Space

"Could you keep it down."

"No! You're absolutely shameless, I thought of you as a brother, and you dared to enter my wife's boudoir."

Su Yuan accused with deep anguish.

"What did I do? You're getting more and more outrageous!"

Su Ming nearly jumped up.

"Cut it out, don't think I don't know. You boarded my wife's mecha and piloted it with her."

At this point, Su Yuan's back teeth were almost grinding to dust.

Hearing this, Su Ming leaned in and said to Su Yuan in a low voice.

"So that's how you want to play it, huh? Then don't blame me for being impolite."

"What I said is the truth, it really hurts."

Su Yuan replied, heartbroken.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming took a deep breath, then pulled his voice and loudly declared.

"Huh? So Miss Xilis is your wife?"

Swish!

Over a quarter of the male officers in the room stood up at once, each casting murderous looks at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan was instantly dumbfounded, turning to look around.

He saw all the male officers, not standing back, but gathering with fists ready.

"What do you want to do? Su Ming, help me out here!"

Su Yuan swallowed hard and said.

Seeing this, Su Ming burst into laughter, just about to say something, but his wristband vibrated and a message popped up.

"Admiral Su Ming, please come to the main office immediately, Commander Soraya wants to see you."

After reading the message, Su Ming said to Su Yuan.

"I've got business to attend to, I'll be going now!"

"Hey, hey, don't go!"

Su Yuan called out with a dazzling expression.

He was just about to catch up with Su Ming when a group of officers directly blocked him.

Apocalypse Divine Country·Abyss of Descent Defense Line.

Amidst the numerous fortresses and defense weaponry centers, there lay an expansive space defense fortress known as the Light Star Shield, five hundred kilometers in diameter, resembling a starfish, entirely covered in white armor with a surface embedded with countless gun barrels and launch ports.

Inside the luxurious office of the Light Star Shield Fortress.

An old man with white hair in a white military uniform, wise eyes, and a face full of wrinkles, sat at a desk made of white jade.

This old man was none other than Commander Misya of the Apocalypse Divine Country·Abyss of Descent Defense Line.

At this moment, a young woman wearing a white nun's robe, her skin fair, with brown hair cascading to her waist, eyes like sapphires, stood before Misya with a worried expression and began to speak.

"Commander."

"Helena, what's the matter?"

Misya asked wearily.

Helena hesitated for a moment before speaking to Commander Misya.

"Commander, the higher-ups are demanding that you intensify the attacks on the Federation."

"What did you say? Increase the attack intensity? Damn it, they're insane, a bunch of lunatics!"

Hearing this, Misya slammed the table angrily and cursed.

They were originally minding their own business here, with no interference with the Federation.

This bunch of idiots insisted on provoking, repeatedly attacking the Federation.

Now the war was in full swing, tensions running high, and every time forces from both sides met in the Abyss of Descent, it resulted in fierce battles, with casualty reports arriving daily.

The casualty numbers this year alone exceeded those of several decades combined, and these bastards still wanted him to ramp up the attacks.

"Commander, watch your words! This is an order from the Lord God Emperor."

Helena reminded him hastily.

"Understood, call a meeting with all personnel."

Commander Misya heard this, his old face twitching, and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Yes!"

Helena replied respectfully.

Not long after.

Su Ming arrived at the third floor of headquarters, making his way down the long corridor.

Along the way, soldiers in exoskeleton armor saluted him with serious expressions.

"General!"

Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

Soon he reached Soraya's office door.

Knock, knock!

Su Ming rapped on the door.

"Come in!"

A stern voice came through.

Su Ming then pushed open the closed door and walked in.

The entire office was circular, with mechanical tiles embedded with holographic devices that simulated vibrant natural scenery.

The spacious office had no decoration, only a five-meter-long office desk placed in the central area, with transparent windows on the far wall.

At this moment, Commander Soraya sat at the desk, looking very serious.

Su Ming walked straight up to Commander Soraya, lifted his hand in salute, and spoke.

"Commander!"

"Hmm, you're here!"

"Commander, what is it that you need from me?"

"No need to be nervous, I just have some questions for you."

"Alright!"

"You're from the Thirteenth Legion, aren't you?"

"Yes!"

"How has Lord Long Bai been lately?"

Soraya asked with concern.

"The Legion Commander is doing well."

"What has she been busy with recently?"

"Lord Long Bai is overseeing the overall strategy in the Danube Star Sea."

Su Ming didn't conceal anything from Soraya, as it wasn't a big secret that Long Bai was the chief commander in the Danube Star Sea.

"Hmm, how's the current situation with the Federation?"

After the small talk, Commander Soraya fixed her eyes on Su Ming and asked very seriously.

Upon hearing Commander Soraya's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Su Ming's eyes.

Though the Abyss of Descent is very far from the Federation, Commander Soraya should have her own information channels about the Federation's situation, so why suddenly ask him?

However, Su Ming still replied truthfully.

"It's not optimistic. The Federation is besieged on all sides, with issues in various restricted zones. There was a tough battle fought recently in the Danube Star Sea, and the Dark Star Empire has reinforced there. The situation in the Tidal Star Sea is even less ideal, with constant retreats, and the Mechanical Sect causing trouble at home."
