Chapter 497: Chapter 336: Massive Bleeding (Five in One)_4

"I’ll take the luxurious one."

Su Ming immediately gritted his teeth and replied.

"Okay!"

"But may I ask one thing?"

"You may ask."

"I remember that the Legion covers Mecha repairs, right?"

"Correct, repairs are indeed covered, but not modifications. And even if repairs are covered, it only includes your Slaughterer, not the Blood Falcon."

"Why?"

"Because your Blood Falcon isn’t registered, and it wasn’t damaged during a mission."

"So if I register it, will future repairs be free?"

"Not free. When you register, whatever the condition it’s in, that’s the condition the Legion will restore it to!"

"If that’s the case, then it’s meaningless."

"Officer Su Ming, the Federation’s rules have been passed down for thousands of years; there aren’t loopholes for you to exploit, and you’re not the first to ask this either."

Acala responded nonchalantly.

"Alright, I’ll pay for this myself. Please, Master Acala, take extra care in modifying the Mecha!"

"That definitely won’t be an issue."

"How long will it take for the ship and the Mecha?"

"Seven days for the Mecha, and probably over half a month for the ship."

Master Acala provided an approximate timeline.

"Then I’m counting on you."

Su Ming said politely.

Starlight City·Federation Government Administrative Building·Dawn Hall 2.

Gakels, Farren, Alicia, and others were sitting at the conference table.

At that moment, District Governor Xiao Lie sighed with a troubled expression.

"Oh dear, the economy has been getting worse and worse!"

"That’s right, after the incident in the Danube Star Sea, our foreign trade imports and exports plummeted." frёeωebɳovel.com

"Indeed, and military expenditures have increased."

"I’m practically running a deficit here, and the people below are constantly complaining."

"Can we lower taxes and allocate some funds this year?"

...

District Governor Lin Aojun and others spoke out in turn.

Thump—

Listening to Xiao Lie and the others, Farren angrily slapped the conference table.

Everyone immediately quieted down and turned to look at Farren.

"Is it only you who are suffering? Am I not suffering too? I was hit the hardest, my assets were seized, and my troops are still blocked in the Danube Star Sea, with military expenses skyrocketing. I haven’t even complained yet, so what are you complaining about?"

Farren replied angrily.

Thinking about how no one dared to stand up during the crisis, yet now everyone was constantly complaining, it infuriated him.

"Lord Farren, can we even compare to you? A dying camel is still bigger than a horse."

Xiao Lie replied helplessly.

"Humph, anyway, I have no money, ask those two for money."

Farren directly shifted the blame onto Gakels and Alicia.

Gakels and Alicia exchanged glances, also showing helpless expressions, making it seem as though they were wealthy, though they weren’t.

But Xiao Lie and the others didn’t see it that way, as they all turned their gaze towards them.

Just as Gakels was about to speak, the tightly closed door suddenly opened, and Yun Rou hurried in, reporting to Gakels and the others.

"Emergency military report!"

"Speak!"

Gakels and the others immediately tensed up.

"The Thirteenth Legion bypassed the Danube Star Sea and launched a surprise attack on the Siloke Star Sea, successfully capturing Hamms Planet Fortress and Uranus Transfer Star."

Yun Rou then reported.

"That’s great, so the Thirteenth Legion successfully cut off the Imperial Army’s supply line."

Gakels said cheerfully.

"Remarkable, truly impressive!"

Everyone excitedly praised.

Farren, hearing the news, was also very excited and immediately asked further.

"Yun Rou, any movement from the Imperial Army in the Danube Star Sea?"

"No, the Imperial Army at the Danube Star Sea is still not moving."

Yun Rou replied with slight regret, shaking her head.

"How could this be? If they don’t move, our trapped troops have no hope of breaking out."

Farren’s expression darkened upon hearing Yun Rou’s words.

"Farren, don’t worry. The real worry should be for the Imperial Army; they’ve lost their supply line."

Alicia reminded him with a smile.

"That’s right, now it’s a matter of who can be more patient. Let’s see who gets restless first!"

Gakels agreed, advising Farren.

"Isn’t this fear that delay may bring problems?"

Farren replied irritably.

"Rest assured, since she has promised to rescue the trapped troops, there will definitely be no problems. We just need to patiently await the good news. Don’t disrupt the strategy now."

Gakels instructed Farren calmly.

"Alright!"

Farren’s expression fluctuated, and he pressed down his irritation as he responded.

Dark Star Empire·Bergslun Defense Line.

Starfall Planet Fortress.

The grand hall was adorned with precious White Star Stone on the ground, exquisite and fine, and the surrounding walls were carved with bizarre patterns, dazzling to the eyes.

The towering dome resembled the starry sky, with twinkling stars.

At the deepest part of the hall, there was a gigantic mechanical biological container, filled with blue liquid, with something seemingly floating inside.

From this giant mechanical biological container, several tubes extended.

These tubes reached forward to a black throne.

A burly man, clad in a robe as dark as the night, with a sharply chiseled face, piercing eyes emitting a cold light, tubes strapped to his back, exuding an aura that sent shivers down the spine, was seated upon it.

This man was none other than the commander in charge of guarding the Bergslun Defense Line, Hodiska.

At that moment, a seductive woman with lush red lips and a glamorous appearance approached, carrying a cup of Blood Wine.

This Blood Wine was mixed with blood-slave and various unknown creatures’ fresh blood.
