Chapter 610: Chapter 354: Return Voyage (5-in-1)_6

Su Ming and Kaff were chatting happily.

Suddenly, all of their wristbands vibrated and a message popped up.

After reading the message, they all stood up and said.

"Let’s go, hurry to the No.1 training ground!"

...

A moment later, at the No.1 training ground.

Rhein and others had already arrived, lining up in a neat square array.

Su Ming and the others hurried in and stood at the front of their respective teams. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Standing behind Su Ming, Rhein whispered.

"Squad leader, what’s happening?"

"I don’t know either, we received last-minute notifications."

Su Ming replied in a low voice.

At this moment, Vickers Major General came walking over with his hands behind his back.

Everyone’s expressions became serious, each standing very straight.

Vickers walked up to them and looked around at everyone, then spoke seriously.

"I now officially announce something. Just moments ago, we safely returned and entered the Federation’s territory. Currently, the Emperor is heading to the Third Planet."

Upon hearing Vickers’ words, everyone showed joyful expressions.

But they all controlled their emotions and stood there neatly.

Vickers was very satisfied with their reactions and said solemnly.

"Entering the Federation’s territory, we are now safe. Now I will officially play a video left by the Legion Commander; everyone, watch carefully!"

Su Ming and others were surprised to hear this, the Legion Commander had actually left a video beforehand.

Vickers raised his wrist and clicked a few times, and the image of a purple-haired girl was projected in front of everyone.

The purple-haired girl bowed to everyone before slowly saying.

"When you see this video, it means you have successfully completed the Heart of Sky Base attack mission and safely returned to the Federation. I’m truly proud and happy for you all. Here, I congratulate you; you did great, the Thirteenth Legion is honored by you!"

Curia and others showed excited expressions upon hearing the girl’s congratulations.

"And one more thing you need to pay attention to. The Thirteenth Legion is a special secret legion; after returning to the Federation, you are not allowed to reveal your identity, keeping it confidential. General Vickers will brief you on other matters. Lastly, congratulations on your triumphant return!"

The purple-haired girl said coldly.

The video paused and then disappeared.

At this moment, Vickers Major General spoke to Su Ming and others in a deep voice.

"Alright, the message from the Legion Commander Lord has been delivered. Now I will briefly supplement a few sentences. After returning, I will report the military merits of the first two battles. Regarding the merits of this Heart of Sky Base attack, we’ll report when the Legion comes back. If I report it myself, there might be some issues."

Su Ming immediately understood, the merits of the first two battles were drafted and signed by the Legion Commander, Vickers Major General only needed to report.

The last Heart of Sky Base battle, Vickers did not directly report, likely due to concerns that the Council and Military Department might not accept his report.

"When you return, try to be as low-key as possible. You can report your military rank, but avoid mentioning you are from the Thirteenth Legion. If someone persistently investigates you, you may consider them as spies! The reason for you to do so is also to protect you!"

"You are heroes of the Federation now, but you are also targets for the Dark Star Empire. They will try anything to eliminate you! Every year, many heroes of the Federation die in various covert assassinations and accidents."

Vickers Major General solemnly reminded them.

Of course, there was one thing he did not say, which was to be wary of not only the Dark Star Empire’s people but also their own.

Su Ming and others became very solemn upon hearing Vickers’ words.

Vickers was not exaggerating; due to the Dark Star Empire and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country both splitting from the Federation.

All three major forces had planted many spies and agents inside each other.

Assassinations happened frequently each year.

This time, they had hit the Dark Star Empire hard, leaving the Emperor embarrassed; this matter could never be settled lightly.

"Finally, I announce that everyone is on vacation! Enjoy this rare break, and the return time is to be determined!"

"Understood!"

Everyone replied.

"Alright, we will soon arrive at the Third Planet. Now everyone, go and wash up, put on your uniforms. When we arrive at Starlight City, it will be our time to bring our departed comrades home!"

Vickers Major General told everyone.

"Yes!"

Su Ming and others responded, each feeling very grave.

In the City Lord Mansion office.

Gakels was sitting at his desk, a holographic screen showing the communication images of King Sevo, King Sm, and King Frief.

"Lord Gakels City, you must avenge our country, the Dark Star Empire is truly inhumane, they directly destroyed my Main Star, and billions of lives were lost just like that."

King Frief tearfully complained.

"This is really too much."

"Simply beasts, you can’t just ignore this, Lord Gakels City."

King Sevo and King Sm also chimed in.

Though it was not their Main Star being destroyed, they felt a sense of shared grief.

Gakels listened and felt very headache-inducing, he said.

"Calm down and let me explain!"

The three of them quieted down and looked at Gakels.

Gakels spoke in a deep voice.

"The Federation did not ignore you, you saw it yourselves. The Federation dispatched troops to the Danube Star Sea to directly confront the Dark Star Empire. Later, they sent expeditionary forces to strike into the Dark Star Empire and destroy the Heart of Sky Base! Isn’t that enough? Don’t just focus on the Dark Star Empire’s destruction of stars, think about it, if the Dark Star Empire did not fear the Federation, would they only destroy one star? They would have flattened your three kingdoms long ago! You wouldn’t even have the chance to speak here now!"

King Sevo, King Sm, and King Frief exchanged glances and didn’t dare to speak.

"But...."

King Frief unwillingly began to speak.

"King Frief, listen to me. Regarding your country’s star being destroyed, the Federation will not ignore it either. I will provide ample funds and materials to aid you in rebuilding your Main Star. As for vengeance, if there’s an opportunity in future, we will help you to get it."

Gakels told King Frief.

"Alright."

King Frief conceded and sighed dejectedly.

"That’s it for now, I’m a bit tired."

Seeing King Frief relent, Gakels ended the meeting solemnly.

"Yes, Lord Gakels."

The three kings then disconnected the communication.

"Sigh!"

Gakels also sighed deeply.

He was truly angry about the Dark Star Empire’s destruction of stars, but he did not want a full-scale war now, so he had no choice but to appease them forcefully.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open and Deputy City Lord Okens rushed in excitedly, speaking to Gakels.

"Lord Gakels City, there is an emergency notice from the Kager Defense Line: the Thirteenth Legion has returned!"

"What did you say? The Thirteenth Legion returned."

Gakels stood up excitedly.

"That’s right! They are about to reach the Third Planet."

Deputy City Lord Okens replied immediately.

"Quick, let’s go greet the Thirteenth Legion Commander!"

"Lord Gakels City, the Thirteenth Legion Commander and Starshine Fortress did not return, only the Emperor came back."

"Uh, didn’t come back?"

"Yes!"

"Okens, you personally lead the team to greet them with the highest level of ceremony."

Gakels pondered and commanded Deputy City Lord Okens.

"Yes!"

Deputy City Lord Okens replied.
