Chapter 557: Chapter 346: Dark Forest (Five in One)_3

Su Ming replied helplessly,

"Ah, from the Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industry Group, eh? That group is quite famous, and it’s not bad at all! Is the Third Generation Mecha·Wind Chaser produced by your family?"

Chen Ying thought for a moment and replied,

"Yes."

Su Ming admitted openly,

"Wait, you’re from the Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industry Group, right? I remember there is also a Thunder God Interstellar Heavy Industry Group above you, isn’t there?"

Curia’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly asked Su Ming,

"Thunder God Group, that’s a giant of the Federation!"

At this moment, Aragon and the others also spoke up one after another,

"Ah? Thunder God Group? I’ve never heard of it?"

Su Ming was also stunned for a moment; he hadn’t heard Grandpa mention it,

"Really? I remember all your surnames are Su, and there are rumors that the two companies are related?"

Curia also asked with some uncertainty,

"I really don’t know, nor do I recognize."

Su Ming shook his head and replied,

"Oh."

Curia and the others, hearing Su Ming say this, immediately realized that he must not have any relation to the Thunder God Company.

Although it was a bit of a pity, Su Ming’s background was still decent enough, not the best but certainly not the worst.

At this time, Hejassi, upon hearing that Su Ming came from a middle-class family, felt guilty and said,

"I have something to say."

"Cough cough, Hejassi, maybe you should just not say it."

Shu’en, seeing Hejassi about to speak, hurriedly stopped him.

But Hejassi was as stubborn as ever and spoke up regardless of Shu’en’s discouragement,

"What can’t be said? Honestly, I used to really look down on the students from Imperial Court Academy; I thought they were all a bunch of spineless wimps who got in by pulling strings, without real ability! But since I’ve spent time with Su Ming and Major Kaff, I realized that’s not the case. I was short-sighted."

Su Ming asked with a curious expression,

"Hejassi, is that how your side generally views the Imperial Court Academy?"

"That’s right, and it’s not just that either. We people from Sky Dome also think that people from Starlight City are a bunch of arrogant snobs who just rely on their good birth and are so fussy."

Hejassi confessed frankly.

Upon hearing this, Shu’en touched his forehead, his head aching a bit as Hejassi spoke without restraint again.

Su Ming and Kaff looked at each other, now at a loss for words.

At this moment, Timi spoke calmly,

"Actually, this isn’t so surprising. Our Rain Capital doesn’t have a very high opinion of Sky Dome City either."

"How does your side view us?"

Hejassi asked directly.

"You’re seen as simplistic in thinking, mostly brutes, full of machismo."

Timi said somewhat more tactfully.

But even though it was more tactful, the officers from Sky Dome City all had faces as dark as charcoal.

At that moment, Kaff sighed and said,

"In fact, Starlight City doesn’t view Rain Capital very highly either."

"Oh, and how do you view us?"

Timi curiously asked Kaff,

"Starlight City thinks that the men of Rain Capital are all wimps relying on women, and that Rain Capital’s status today is all thanks to women’s social networking."

Kaff spoke after carefully considering his words.

Timi’s expression became somewhat unnatural upon hearing Kaff’s words.

For a moment, the originally lively office quieted down.

Su Ming’s expression was also full of wonder; wow, everyone was firing broadsides! If their relationships could be good, he’d write his name backward.

It looked like the lack of unity within the Federation over the years had a lot to do with this attitude, and Su Ming finally understood why everyone’s relations were so tense when the Thirteenth Legion first formed.

But then again, Hejassi really didn’t know how to speak, always bringing up what shouldn’t be mentioned.

What was initially a good atmosphere was now completely ruined. It was already good that they weren’t fighting now.

At this moment, the wristbands of Su Ming and Kaff suddenly popped up with an urgent message.

Both of them glanced at the message and immediately stood up.

"What’s the matter?"

Shu’en and the others asked with a slight shock.

"I don’t know, Vickers Major General has summoned me to the central control room."

Su Ming spoke to Shu’en.

"Me too!"

Kaff also followed up.

"Could it be that we were discovered by the Imperial Army?"

Timi asked with a furrowed brow.

"Not sure, we’ll go to the central control room first. If there is any action to follow, they should notify you as well. Don’t go anywhere, just stay here on standby."

Kaff instructed everyone.

"Alright!"

Shu’en and the others replied seriously.

"Let’s go, Su Ming!"

Kaff led Su Ming out of the office.

...

Before long, Su Ming and Kaff passed through several checkpoints to enter the Emperor battleship’s central control room.

Upon entering the central control room, Su Ming saw hundreds of operators seated at their stations performing complex operations.

Some were monitoring the status of the spacecraft’s equipment in various sectors, some responsible for data analysis, and others in charge of operating the spacecraft...

Su Ming watched this scene and pondered to himself; although his Wind Moving was smaller than the Emperor, he estimated it would still require a significant number of personnel.

However, Su Ming soon put these thoughts aside for the moment. He and Kaff approached General Vickers and saluted him solemnly.

"General, we’re here."

Vickers Major General spoke seriously.

"We’ve encountered a little trouble. Lieutenant Zhou Yuelin, explain the situation to them in detail."

"Sirs, the situation is as follows: a level 3 battleship seems to have detected our trail. They have dispatched 2 Third Generation Mecha·Beasts and 3 Second Generation Mecha·Beast Teeth, continuously probing in the direction of our ship."
