CHAPTER 728: CHAPTER 579: ALARM (PART ONE)

Just three hours earlier, inside the command center of the Green Gore Mother Ship.

A middle-aged man with pointed ears and a calm demeanor sat in the deputy commander’s chair, casually chatting with his companions.

"I’m telling you, the future of the Alliance is a major trend; there are basically no variables left," he said.

"Lord Eriga, we are aware of that. But as for the Federation, can we rely on them? We’re afraid they might let us down at a crucial moment," said several companions with some concern.

"You don’t need to worry about that; that’s for our superiors to consider. However, I can disclose some inside information to you. Within all our Alliance Countries, the Federation is possibly one of the strongest, which is why Lord Beilo values them so greatly," Eriga pondered before speaking.

"I see," replied everyone, nodding in agreement.

At that moment, a prompt suddenly popped up on the holographic display screen.

"Warning: A large swarm of insects is rapidly approaching!"

Immediately after, a shrill alarm sounded.

"Lord Eriga, it’s bad! A large-scale insect swarm is approaching us, estimated to make contact in 32 minutes," said an operator urgently.

Eriga kept his composure and said, "Activate the Micro-Eye C32 Biological Energy Exploration Radar, scan the approaching insect swarm. Confirm the strongest biological energy reaction level of the monsters, and match the species of the approaching Insect Race."

"Understood!"

The operator immediately entered the command.

Soon, the data results popped up, and the operator reported, "Confirmed, based on monitoring and matching, the target is a Black Thorn Insect Swarm, with the highest biological level being Level 3."

Hearing this data, Eriga’s expression visibly relaxed.

"No need to panic, it’s just a bunch of Level 3 insects. Order all escort ships to enter battle status. We must intercept all approaching enemies, preventing them from disturbing the Mother Ship. The Federation’s envoy group is discussing important matters with Lord Beilo; disturbing the envoys of the Federation now would be a joke. We would be utterly embarrassed," Eriga said, his expression changing momentarily before he finally spoke.

"Should we inform Lord Beilo?" asked a subordinate, somewhat worried.

Eriga pondered for a while and said, "Connect me to Lord Beilo."

"Yes!"

...

In the central palace conference room of Green Gore City.

Beilo was discussing matters of resource exchange with some important officials and Spade.

Both parties were strongly willing to offer part of their idle resources for exchange, to meet each other’s urgent needs.

However, the only thing not going smoothly was a slight disagreement on price, which they hadn’t resolved up to now.

Particularly, Beilo highly valued a technology.

The Federation had managed to achieve mass production of the cost-effective Generation III standard Mecha, Hunting Mane Mecha.

Although this technology could also be purchased by Star Ring City, it was ultimately too expensive; obtaining it from the Federation at half the price or even lower would be much more cost-effective.

Of course, Spade wasn’t going to compromise so easily either.

He was also interested in the Federation’s biological pharmaceutical technology, specifically the production formulas for the Type II TSE Antiviral Potion and the Type III WDS Antiviral Potion. It was well known that they were still using the Type I ISQ Antiviral Potion, and since that was the only one that could be mass produced, virtually every time a soldier was injured, they were practically condemned to death.

Only the high-level officials could use the advanced anti-virus potions purchased from Star Ring City, but the quantities were limited.

Due to injuries and mutations, this seriously affected the army’s combat morale, and many excellent soldiers died not on the battlefield but from post-combat infections. Moreover, it was a tragic reality that these soldiers were killed by their own people.

If they could obtain the production formulas for these two potions, he couldn’t guarantee that all injured soldiers would be completely healed, but at least the recovery rate would skyrocket dramatically.

In addition to this, both sides were also keen on each other’s collected resources.

Therefore, the discussions continued non-stop into the late night without any intention of stopping.

At this moment, Beilo spoke, "Lord Spade, I think I have shown significant sincerity. Regarding the Type II and Type III anti-virus potions, originally they are our country’s important core technologies, which we usually do not reveal easily. Moreover, these two technologies, it’s not just as simple as purchasing them from Star Ring City, they have been modified by us, significantly reducing the difficulty of manufacturing, making their value even higher."

"Lady Beilo, you have seen how cost-effective the third-generation standard Mecha I offer is, capable of integrated mass production, and the cost is only seventy percent of other weapons of the same level, yet the combat data is nearly identical, similarly a very costly item. While Star Ring City does sell them, the price, as you have seen, is exorbitant, and who knows if the prices from Star Ring City might increase over time, we are now in a pioneering era, and the importance of weapons should go without saying."

Spade was equally assertive in his response, showing no signs of concession.

Just as Beilo was about to speak, suddenly her bracelet vibrated, and a communication request popped up.

Beilo glanced at it, stood up gracefully and said to Spade, "Lord Spade, please have a drink and rest a moment, I need to take a call, we’ll continue the negotiations afterward!"

"Okay!"

Spade, sensing that there might be an emergency, cooperated very well.

Beilo then left the meeting room and tapped her bracelet at the doorstep.

Soon, Eriga’s holographic image appeared.

"What’s the matter?"

Beilo asked calmly, well aware that Eriga would not disturb her without something important.

"I apologize for the disturbance, Lady Beilo, but now an unexpected situation has arisen, and I need to report it to you."

"Go ahead."

"Radar has detected a large insect swarm heading our way, the highest level identified is a Level III Black Thorn Insect," Eriga reported seriously.

"Can you handle it?"

Beilo asked bluntly.

Eriga saluted and assured confidently, "Rest assured, Lady Beilo, I am confident we can handle it, we won’t let them disturb the Mother Ship."

"If that’s the case, I leave it entirely in your hands. If there’s nothing important, don’t call again, I have important matters here." Beilo did not seem overly concerned.

"Yes!"

Eriga nodded in response.

.....

In the command center of the Green Gore Mother Ship, now that he had authorization, Eriga became even more determined.

He began arranging his strategies and issuing commands.

"Everyone, follow my command!"

Swipe~

The virtual images of the captains of the escort ships appeared on the virtual screen, all saying in unison.

"Yes!"

Eriga issued the order with full confidence.
