Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 1603 - 523: Thunder Angel_2

...

Zhang Yi and the others complained to Su Ming.

"Elrosatin Deputy Clan Leader? What level?"

Su Ming asked, his brow furrowed.

"It's just a large mechanical octopus monster. According to General Gabres, it seems to be a Heroic Level VI-type and almost evolving into an Emperor Level existence."

Rhein demonstrated to Su Ming.

"No wonder we couldn't withstand it."

Su Ming was no longer surprised upon hearing this.

"But it's fine now. With the boss here, we don't have to be afraid anymore!"

Rhein and the others said excitedly.

"Alright."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

...

Several hours later.

All the boxes of white wine were emptied, and everyone was flushed and drunk.

"That's enough for today, everyone, go home and rest early."

Su Ming said happily to the crowd.

"Okay!"

Ankaga and others responded one by one.

Su Ming then turned to Rhein and asked.

"Rhein, where's Little Grey?"

"It's in the room. Ever since you went missing, it hasn't liked to come out and play. It stays in the room and doesn't eat much either."

Rhein told Su Ming.

"I get it."

Su Ming got up and picked up a plate of untouched grapes from the table before leaving.

...

Soon after, Su Ming arrived at his room door.

He reached out to open the door and walked in. The room was spotlessly clean, and everything was in its original place.

As he walked into the bedroom, he saw Little Grey lying listlessly on the sofa and gently walked by its side, placing the grapes in front of it.

Little Grey glanced at the grapes but didn't reach for them.

However, it seemed to sense something, suddenly lifted its head, and looked at Su Ming.

"Squeak squeak~"

Little Grey instantly jumped onto Su Ming, excitedly licking his face with its tongue.

"Alright, alright."

Su Ming laughed and exclaimed.

At this moment, Celeste floated out of Su Ming's pocket, looking at Little Grey and said.

"Oh dear, I didn't realize Little Grey liked you so much!"

Upon seeing Celeste, Little Grey excitedly flapped its wings and rushed towards Celeste.

"Silly deer, don't come here!"

Celeste quickly floated away.

But Little Grey wouldn't let Celeste go, chasing her around the room.

Su Ming watched the scene and couldn't help but show a radiant smile.

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

Mist Star Sea.

The grand Federation forces were withdrawing from the Mist Star Sea along the path lit by the Mist Mechanical Lamp.

At that moment, the Level 5 Battleship·Giant Rock, flying at the back, continuously opened its launch port.

Swish, swish!

Missile after missile was fired!

Boom, boom, boom!

Mechanical Fog Lamps were destroyed one by one along the route.

The white mist quickly engulfed and covered the pathway.

Inside the central control room of the Black Tide Fortress.

Qian Lin sat on the command seat, while beside her, a short-haired redhead, dressed in a Colonel's uniform, reported diligently.

"Lord Qian Lin, Giant Rock is clearing the Mist Mechanical Lamps."

"Lu Mi, how long do we expect to leave Mist Star Sea?"

"14 hours and 18 minutes, due to the fact that our retreating forces include a large number of fully loaded Level 4 Transport Ships, which can't keep up with the speed of Level 5 Ships. But it will be fine once we're out of Mist Star Sea, when we can activate the Superluminal Flight Device."

Lu Mi replied to Qian Lin.

"Alright."

Qian Lin nodded solemnly.

"Lord, do you think we can retreat smoothly this time?"

Lu Mi asked hesitantly.

"I'm not sure, but if I were the Dark Star Empire, I definitely wouldn't let the opponent go easily. So stay alert, because once we get through, we can go home."

Qian Lin advised Lu Mi and others.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

As time slowly passed, Qian Lin kept her eyes on the star map displayed before her.

They were getting closer and closer to the edge of the Mist Star Sea.

Of course, their quick exit was aided by the fact that the base wasn't set too deep.

But at this moment, the scanning device suddenly emitted a sharp alarm.

Red dots started appearing on the edges of the scanning screen.

Swish, swish~

Missiles were launched from the mist, hitting the rear ships like the Giant Rock.

Boom, boom, boom!

Lu Mi's expression tightened as she reported.

"Lord Qian Lin, we detected Dark Star Empire's forces. They're catching up!"

"Damn it, even though the mechanical fog lamps along the route were destroyed, they still caught up. These guys are like mad dogs."

Qian Lin said with a very unpleasant expression.

"Lord, what do we do now? They're swiftly approaching us."

Lu Mi asked, somewhat at a loss.

"Full speed ahead, don't let them entangle us."

Qian Lin didn't have a perfect plan; now they had to quickly sail out of Mist Star Sea.

"Yes!"

Lu Mi responded hastily.

At that moment, inside the central control room of the Blood Ridge Fortress.

Deputy Corps Commander Awabi excitedly reported to Lord Aus.

"Lord Aus, we've caught up, but it seems they're trying to escape!"

"Escape? Bite them!"

A hint of ruthlessness appeared on Aus's face as he gave the order.

"Yes!"

Awabi responded immediately.

....

Both fleets continuously accelerated their advance, yet the distance continued to close.

Inside the central control room of the Black Tide Fortress.

Lu Mi reported to Qian Lin in a panic.

"Lord Qian Lin, we can't shake them off."

"Damn it!"

Qian Lin cursed through gritted teeth.

Then several communications connected one after another, and virtual images of officers emerged.

"Lord Qian Lin, you should go! Our Level 4 Battleships and Level 4 Transport Ships are too slow, they'll only hold you back!"

"That's impossible!"
