CHAPTER 1012: CHAPTER 417: VILLAINS (FIVE-IN-ONE) (PART 4)

"Smash this Eternal Metal Ore, then crush it, and extract all the Eternal Metal!"

"Alright!"

Rhein and the others immediately got to work.

Several hours later, the entire ore was thoroughly crushed into bits, and all the Eternal Metal was extracted.

The resulting irregular gold chunks and golden sands, emitting faint starlight, were placed into a metal container.

Rhein and the others weighed the net mass and shouted excitedly.

"Boss, over 260 tons!"

"Nearly 27% content, impressive!"

Su Ming glanced at the data, feeling extremely pleased.

"Wow, so much Eternal Metal, how much is this worth?"

Rhein and the others were drooling at the sight.

"We won’t sell it regardless of the price; we’ll use the Eternal Metal for ourselves. Remember, don’t mention Eternal Metal to anyone outside, and try to avoid discussing it altogether, to avoid drawing attention."

Su Ming said, feeling quite pleased.

"Alright!"

Rhein and the others immediately responded.

...

------------------------------------------------

Seven days later · Danube Star Sea.

The pitch-black starry sky rippled as the Wind Moving emerged from Subspace.

Inside the central control room.

Timi reported to Su Ming.

"Commander Su Ming, we have arrived at the Anger Kingdom’s Main Star’s outer space."

As Timi’s words fell, the optical image projection unfolded.

An intense red planet met the eye, and in the outer space of the red planet, various ships were docked.

The most conspicuous among them was the Legendary Star Destroyer·Wind Dome, which showed great prowess during the Danube Star Sea battle, making the other two Star Destroyers pale in comparison.

Numerous ships were converging from various directions, and upon closer observation, one could see the patterns painted on these ships.

These ships weren’t from the regular Federation Legions but from various mercenaries, security companies, and exploration groups.

"Hard work."

Su Ming nodded slightly and said to Timi.

They had sent Hai Lan and her daughter back to the Crimson Country and immediately rushed here.

Mo Xiu, after conquering the Four Neutral Countries, shifted the temporary command center forward again, relocating it to Anger Royal City.

At this time, Rhein and the others curiously looked at the numerous ships and said.

"Wow, so lively, feels even busier than when the Danube Star Sea operations command center was established before."

"Yes, now that the Federation has conquered the Four Neutral Countries, all the Royal Family members and officials of these conquered Neutral Countries are imprisoned, and all assets and industries are to be confiscated. These assets need to be liquidated, and these people, like hyenas catching the scent of blood, gather here, trying to get their share, isn’t it lively?"

Su Ming stated simply.

"Makes sense."

Rhein and the others nodded in agreement.

"I won’t talk with you now, let’s take care of business first."

Su Ming raised his wrist and sent a communication request to Vickers.

Buzz buzz!

After a dozen seconds, the communication finally connected, and a noisy sound was heard from the wrist device, followed shortly by Vickers’s lowered voice.

"Hello!"

"Hi, Vickers, I’m back."

Su Ming said, slightly apprehensive.

Although he hadn’t expected the battle to break out so quickly, he indeed ran off alone, leaving all the work to Vickers.

Fortunately, the results weren’t bad, as Vickers’s team faced no problems and profited greatly.

"Is there something you need? I’m in the middle of an oath-taking ceremony."

Vickers said in a lowered voice.

"What mobilization oath-taking ceremony?"

When Su Ming heard Vickers’s words, his eyelids twitched, sensing a very bad premonition.

"The mobilization ceremony before the total offensive."

Vickers explained to Su Ming.

"Total offensive? You’re launching a full-scale attack?"

Su Ming stood straight up from the command chair.

"That’s right, once the oath is taken, we will launch the full offensive, seize the last two Neutral Countries, and crush the Dark Star Empire’s forces."

"Where are you exactly? Tell me quickly."

"We are in the Wind Dome Conference Hall, is there a problem?"

Vickers sensed Su Ming’s tone was off and asked, puzzled.

Su Ming did not answer Vickers but disconnected the communication, urgently saying to Rhein and the others.

"Come quickly, follow me!"

"Alright!"

Rhein and the others, despite being completely clueless about what was happening, followed Su Ming at once and ran towards the moving platform.

...

Shortly, Wind Moving opened a series of boarding ports.

Whoosh!

Su Ming, operating the Shadow Lord, took Rhein and the others and shot out, flying swiftly towards the Legendary Star Destroyer·Wind Dome.

Wind Dome·Hangar 1.

Clack clack!

One by one, entry ports opened.

Su Ming and others piloted their Mechas inside.

Bang bang!

One Mecha after another landed on the docking positions, and immediately the cockpits opened.

Su Ming and Rhein, wearing military uniforms, floated down from the cockpit.

At this moment a burly man in Third Generation Exoskeleton Armor, sporting a beard, led a group of soldiers up and blocked Su Ming and the others.

"General, I’m Major Weiga from Fifth Legion, the meeting has already started, you cannot attend now."

Major Weiga looked at Su Ming and the others and spoke in a deep voice.

Although he was unsure why Su Ming was here, at such a crucial time, it seemed clear that the intention was not benevolent.

Su Ming immediately picked up the Council’s decree and spoke coldly.

"Step aside! This is the Council’s decree, I now represent the Council in announcing the decree."

"No way, the oath-taking ceremony is ongoing."

Weiga’s face changed abruptly, and he responded through gritted teeth.

Seeing this, Rhein and the others immediately stepped forward and rudely pushed Weiga and his group aside.
