Chapter 140 Stone Mountain

Alliance with the "Free Democratic Federation"?

Shouzheng frowned and fell into deep thought.

Unless necessary, he would never choose to form an alliance with other forces.

But there seems to be no better choice at the moment.

"Xinjing Shogunate" needs time, but time is the most lacking thing at the moment.

Thinking of this, Shouzheng spoke to quiet the hall.

"Everyone..."

As soon as Shouzheng spoke, the hall, which was full of discussions, suddenly quieted down.

Everyone looked at Shouzheng.

Facing everyone's gaze, Shouzheng said in a serious tone: "Time is not waiting for me. I should not be angry and upset because of a temporary failure. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that we have lost our previous confidence, the courage to move forward and full of hope."

"I believe that the failure we are suffering now is just a test from God. One day, the Yamato nation will usher in a moment of soaring. Gentlemen, please continue to work together with me to create a better future for the "New Capital Shogunate."

Everyone's face straightened, bowed their heads, and responded in unison: "Hey!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Shouzheng said to Tomoya beside him: "The negotiation with the "Free Democratic Federation" is left to you, just play freely."

Tomoya nodded and responded: "Hey!"

...

Subspace.

In the purple-red chaotic space, a broken fleet is drifting with the subspace storm.

The dark giant ship can be seen wrapped in a transparent bubble, isolating the chaotic energy that can be seen everywhere in the subspace.

In the upper area of ​​the bridge of a "Firestorm Class" ship...

In the study, Li Meng sat in a chair behind the desk in a daze.

It is a fact that the Alliance controls the S-01904 star system.

After the severely damaged warships were repaired and had the ability to navigate in the subspace.

The fleet was divided into two, with six ships left behind, two "Firestorm Class" escort ships, and four "Cobra" destroyers.

The remaining seven severely damaged warships embarked on the return journey.

The tax collection problem has also been solved.

Two taxes are collected, 5% for toll tax and 5% for transaction tax.

By sending high-frequency signals to all directions, the news of the change of ownership of the S-01904 star system will soon be known to all forces.

What to do next?

Slightly sideways, Li Meng looked at Lady Inasha on the side.

Today, Lady Inasha was wearing a black low-cut, tight-waisted aristocratic long dress, and she looked lovely.

"Come here!"

Li Meng suddenly spoke, causing Inasha's expression to change slightly.

She moved slightly and approached Li Meng.

Li Meng stretched out his hands and embraced Lady Inasha's waist, burying his head in her arms.

So soft...

The familiar scent of "Ambergris" perfume mixed with Lady Inasha's body fragrance entered Li Meng's nose, which refreshed him.

His thoughts suddenly became clear...

After leaving Lady Inasha's arms, Li Meng's face was thoughtful.

Too passive...

Whether it was the hostility with the "UNSC" or the hostility with the "Free Democratic Federation", the Empire was very passive.

Because the Empire did not know where the headquarters of the "UNSC" and the "Free Democratic Federation" were.

Even if they went to find them, they would not gain much in a short time.

They could only passively defend and fight against the enemy fleet that might appear at any time.

At present, the "UNSC" is no longer a threat, at least not in the short term.

And the "Xinjing Shogunate" can be ignored because the "Xinjing Shogunate" does not know where the Empire's headquarters are.

The territories of both sides are not connected, and there will be no border conflict in the short term.

The only enemy of the empire at present is the "Free Democratic Federation".

In the future, many stories will happen between the two sides around the S-01919 star system.

The most urgent task is to find a way to control the initiative.

How to do it?

With a thoughtful look on his face, Li Meng thought quickly in his mind.

If you want to take the initiative, you must obtain intelligence on the enemy forces.

Intelligence will not appear out of thin air, you can only seize it yourself.

"Hmm?"

A sudden psychic communication made Li Meng's expression slightly moved.

He turned to Mrs. Inasha beside him and said, "I'll go back first..."

Just when Inasha was confused and didn't know what the "king" meant, Li Meng stood up.

The golden light shone, and a pair of huge golden wings stretched out from behind Li Meng.

Before Inasha could react, Li Meng soared into the sky and flew into the subspace crack that suddenly appeared above his head.

When the purple-red vortex quickly collapsed and disappeared, Inasa finally reacted.

Staring blankly at the ceiling, Inasa's face was stunned.

This was the first time she saw the living saint of the "king".

So holy, so shocking...

...

S-01919 star system.

Planet 1, also known as "Terra".

Terra is the starting point of the human empire in Warhammer 40K and the home planet of mankind.

The name "Terra" implies that the new Terra will become the starting point of the new empire.

Because there are still many unsolved mysteries on the planet "Terra", the empire has temporarily suspended its colonization.

Another new day...

Unlike the past, today, there has been new progress in the exploration of the planet "Terra".

There is a mountain on the surface of the planet, a bare mountain.

It stands in a forest and looks very abrupt.

It is a stone mountain with large and small holes all over the surface of the mountain.

At first glance, it looks like a beehive.

There is no grass growing for several kilometers around the stone mountain, it is a wasteland.

The ground is covered with sand and stones and is in a semi-desertified state.

Compared with the surrounding green forests, the land around the stone mountain seems to be very short of water and very dry.

At this time, on the land east of the stone mountain, three "V3" transport boats landed.

Some soldiers wearing armor and holding laser rifles can be seen around the transport boat.

Looking at the stone mountain, some soldiers are standing at the entrance of the cave, looking inside.

"The third team has lost contact and has not returned yet. Captain Pine, are there any monsters inside?"

Monster?

Looking at the stone mountain in front of him, Pine was thoughtful.

There are many vicious and strange creatures on the "Terra" star, and it is normal to have some monsters beyond people's imagination.

And this stone mountain is indeed very abnormal.

The caves scattered throughout the mountain are obviously dug by some creatures.

Some are big and some are small, and the shape of the caves is not very smooth.

"What is the situation of the fourth and fifth teams?"

Pine turned his head and asked the communication soldier carrying an electronic backpack beside him.

"Everything is normal. We are continuing to go deeper. The fourth team is rushing to the place where the third team disappeared. It is expected to arrive in a few minutes."

At this time, in the stone mountain, deep underground, in a cave...

It is dark, dry, cold, and pitch dark.

The passage is very small, with a diameter of no more than two meters.

In the darkness, several white beams suddenly appeared and swayed.

Not long after, from the corner, a small group of Star Army soldiers wearing vacuum combat uniforms came out.
