Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Sigh (Additional update for alliance leader Salted Fish Sage) (Fifth update)

Mia wore a helpless expression and could only say to them,

"That’s a member of the Royal Family who escaped from the Crimson Country, the woman leading them is named Erina, their nation was occupied by the Dark Star Empire, and now it has become a colonial planet. She just wanted to seek help from the Federation, but the Federation refused; that’s pretty much the situation. The issue has escalated quite a bit on the Star Cluster Forum, but you all have been busy with the league and haven’t been paying attention. If you want to know more, you should check out the Star Cluster Forum."

Su Ming and the others, hearing what Mia said, hurriedly picked up their phones and logged into the Star Cluster Forum.

As it turned out, they did see a very popular post.

Life and death plea for help from the Crimson Country, Federation refuses rescue, who’s right and who’s wrong?

The heat of this post even suppressed those about the tri-school league competition.

Su Ming clicked to view it and found the post was topped with several small videos.

He tried playing one of the videos.

Before his eyes, a golden and dazzling palace hall appeared, with giant columns standing tall on both sides of the hall, their surfaces carved with intricate patterns, the floor laid with lustrous black and gold tiles. Under the brilliant lights, they shimmered with an unusual glow.

At the top of the hall, a luxurious throne was situated. Seated on the throne was a man with a fierce face, wearing Fourth Generation Prosthetic Armor in black, with legs crossed and one hand propping his chin, the man had only one eye.

Below the throne kneeled noble men, adorned in sumptuous attire, their hands bound.

At that moment, a man nearly three meters tall, with muscles covering his entire body, clad in Third Generation Exoskeleton Armor, his face covered with stubble, was relentlessly whipping these noble men with a leather whip!

Crack~

With every lash of the whip, skin and blood followed.

"Ah!"

In pain, the noble men rolled around on the ground, screaming incessantly.

"Speak, where did the others escape to?" the towering man demanded fiercely, stepping on the head of one of the men.

"I, I don’t know!" the man said defiantly.

"Is that so?"

The giant man revealed a grim smile and, with sudden strength, crushed the man’s head, splashing blood and white viscous materials onto a younger noble nearby.

The young noble was terrified to his very soul, and as the giant turned his gaze toward the youth, he said,

"Your turn!"

"Don’t kill me, I’ll tell you, they’ve gone to the Federation for help."

Unable to bear it any longer, the young man’s defenses completely collapsed, and he blurted out everything.

"To the Federation for help? Ha ha, that old dog Federation, at most, it just barks a couple of times. Let it come over here, see if it dares? It might just get its dog legs broken..."

As Su Ming watched this video, even with his good temper, he could feel his blood pressure rise.

He couldn’t help but look at the comments below, only to find some of them quite defeatist.

"No need to look any further, the Federation has already refused help. Honestly, this is good too; we can’t beat the Dark Star Empire anyway. We failed even in our heyday when we campaigned against them, let alone now."

"Sigh~ Although it’s a bit cowardly, the decision of the Federation Government isn’t wrong, after all, the Crimson Country isn’t one of the member states."

"Forget it, forget it, truly powerless to help."

...

Su Ming sighed heavily as he read these comments.

Just then, a bang resounded, and Su Ming and the others, taken aback, looked over.

Rhein stood up furiously, slapping the table angrily, exclaiming,

"Damn, that damned Dark Star Empire, they really think our Federation is scared of them? The failed expedition was due to being too far away, unable to keep up with logistics. Let them come and fight us, see if we don’t knock the shit out of them!"

"Exactly! Let them try to come over!"

Zhang Yi and the others also voiced their indignation in agreement.

Su Ming remained silent, but what Rhein and the others said wasn’t wrong; in fact, the biggest reason for the Federation’s previous expedition failures was due to distance, logistics, and support.

Likewise, if the Dark Star Empire were to attack, eight or nine out of ten times they would face the same outcome, after all, the advantage of fighting on home ground is too great.

"Alright, calm down. It’s none of your business, just eat your meal."

Mia, the teacher, said helplessly.

In fact, Mia was also very frustrated inside, but one must accept reality. For nearly a hundred years, the Federation had been constantly attacked by the Mechanical Clan and Chilami, fighting hundreds of large and small battles, with extremely heavy losses. In contrast, the Dark Star Empire’s insane aggression and expansion, their strength kept skyrocketing – if a real battle were to break out, the Federation would be in danger!

"Mia, teacher, it’s just infuriating. Didn’t you see that video circulating online?"

"Settle down, I know."

....

Su Ming quietly watched as Rhein and the others vented to teacher Mia, and for some reason, he felt as though a change in the weather was coming, a premonition of an impending storm.

Federation Government · Xi Guang Laboratory · Private Research Room.

Dr. Blakes stood calmly in front of a supercomputer, staring intently at the league video.

However, the video abruptly stopped playing at the moment Celeste announced the end.

At that time, Celeste’s hologram appeared next to Blakes, and she began to explain.

"The rest of the video wasn’t recorded because the invasion of the Dao Dragon forced me to devote all my efforts to dealing with it."

After listening, Blakes spoke indifferently.

"Celeste, bring up all the data of Lin Chuyu and Su Ming controlling the biological mecha."

"Right away!"

Celeste immediately brought up the data for the two handling the biological mecha.

Blakes first glanced at Lin Chuyu’s data, and then looked at Su Ming’s.

However, as he looked at Su Ming’s data, his indifferent expression flickered, and he asked,

"Celeste, there’s no issue with Lin Chuyu’s data. But this Su Ming’s data isn’t right; when he first got on the machine his synchronization rate was 0, and even though there was fluctuation afterward, it was just 0.1%. Why would it suddenly jump to 100%? Did you give him a backdoor?"

"No, I didn’t give him any backdoor. This is all real data. I’m also puzzled by it. Could it be that he possesses an extraordinary talent?"

Celeste shook her head in reply.

"Normally, those with extraordinary talent wouldn’t start with a sync rate of 0. And it wouldn’t just increase by 0.1%; usually, it increases steadily. Su Ming’s case is like a cliff jump!"

"Could it be because of the Dao Dragon’s invasion that the data got scrambled?"

"That’s a high possibility, but it’s also possible that Su Ming himself is very special. Do you have any other data on him piloting the biological mecha? I need more data for analysis."

Blakes asked, his gaze fixated on Su Ming’s data.

"No."

Celeste shook her head in reply.

She concealed the fact that Su Ming took control from her.

Part of it was that she didn’t understand what exactly happened, and another part was her own selfish desire to keep Blakes from knowing.

After hearing Celeste’s response, Blakes furrowed his brows and said,

"If that’s the case, then we can’t confirm whether he truly possesses an extraordinary talent or if it’s just a data malfunction!"

"Yes."

Celeste nodded affirmatively.

"If that’s so, then bring him here for a live test."

Blakes suddenly lifted his head, a flash of excitement in his eyes.
