Chapter 1 The Beginning

Several hours later.

The collapsed starry sky gradually returned to calm.

The area of ​​the starry sky covered by the explosion was exceptionally clean, without even a speck of dust or debris.

As if nothing had happened.

In the distant starry sky, everywhere were ships and mechs paralyzed by the shockwaves, their surfaces constantly sparking with electricity.

Inside the Black White Boundary Fortress.

Everywhere were officers lying sprawled.

Red warning boxes constantly popped up on the virtual operation screen.

"Warning, the Black White Boundary Fortress's energy device is overloaded."

"Warning, the Black White Boundary Fortress is damaged, the degree of damage is seven percent."

......

Nan Qi struggled to get up. He shook his head, gazing at the dark starry sky in the distance, his eyelids twitching wildly.

To be honest, he was also frightened by this power. He trembled and whispered.

"What the hell, it's clearly a reduced version, yet the power is still so terrifying."

Bai Li and the others stood up, their faces full of horror as they asked, "Commander, what exactly happened? What kind of weapon is this, its power is actually so terrifying?"

Nan Qi's expression changed for a moment, then quickly returned to calm. He said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Pass down my order, immediately start the search and rescue!"

"Yes! Immediately start the search and rescue of the affected personnel."

Bai Li quickly responded.

"Are you an idiot? Who told you to search and rescue those people, I told you to go search and rescue that Fiery Sun Wings."

Nan Qi scolded angrily.

"Ah? Search and rescue the Fiery Sun Wings? But the explosion was so powerful, can that mech still survive? And who is piloting that mech?"

Bai Li looked flustered and at a loss.

"Why are you asking so much, just go search and rescue."

After the initial shock, Nan Qi was exceptionally irritable and in a very bad mood.

At the time of the final explosion, Su Mo seemed to have really not escaped, and was directly swallowed.

The main reason was that the speed of the spatial collapse was too fast.

"Yes."

Bai Li responded quickly, like a frightened little rabbit.

.......

Three days later, in the starry sky, Qian Chengxue piloted the Night Guard mech, constantly searching for Su Mo.

She kept shouting in the designated channel.

"Su Mo!"

Hoping to get a response.

Unfortunately, there was no reply in the communication channel.

At this time, Sun Duoxiang and others flew over in their mechs.

"Sister Xue."

"How is it, did you find anything on your side?"

Qian Chengxue asked anxiously.

"No, I've asked a lot of people, and they all said they didn't see Su Mo. Sister Xue, don't worry too much, Boss should be fine. We were only halfway through the battle when Boss disappeared, he didn't disappear during the explosion."

Sun Duoxiang quickly explained.

"Then where would he have gone?"

Qian Chengxue was also exceptionally anxious and uneasy.

"Sister Xue, don't worry, I reckon Boss might have already returned to the Black White Boundary Fortress. With Boss's abilities, he would definitely have noticed something was wrong."

Sun Duoxiang tried his best to reassure her.

Just then, Marco ran over in his mech, anxiously saying.

"Not good, Sister Xue, Brother Sun, the Black White Boundary Fortress has released the latest news, all search and rescue operations will end in seven hours, and the Black White Boundary Fortress will set sail for Ceres."

"So fast?"

Sun Duoxiang was also shocked.

"Actually, it's not fast, the search and rescue work in other countries has already ended, now there's only us and a small number of people still searching."

Marco sighed and explained.

Qian Chengxue bit her lip unwillingly and said, "You guys go back first, I won't leave until I find Su Mo."

"Sister Xue, that won't do, it's really dangerous here, how could we possibly leave you here alone?"

Sun Duoxiang was also anxious.

However, Qian Chengxue did not waver at all. She piloted the mech and flew towards the distance.

"Brother Sun, what do we do now?"

Marco looked helplessly at Sun Duoxiang.

"What are you looking at, let's search together, you don't really want to leave Sister Xue here alone, do you? Tell Zhang Hao to try to communicate with the Black White Boundary Fortress, see if we can get a little more time. If it really doesn't work, the Shadow should not return to the Black White Boundary Fortress, stay here and search."

Sun Duoxiang replied without even thinking.

"Understood."

Marco immediately responded.

......

Inside the Black White Boundary Fortress.

Commander Nan Qi sat on the command chair, his face ashen.

The battle reports and search and rescue situation had all been reported.

It could be said that he had achieved an unprecedented victory in this war. The Yongmian (Eternal Slumber) clan's forces were almost completely wiped out, and even the Planet-Class Mother Nest Fortress · Gramra was crippled.

The only pity was that, judging from the last captured image from the Black White Boundary Fortress battlefield recording system.

It seemed that the leader of the other side used spiritual energy upload to escape, but it didn't matter, just a stray dog.

As for the losses, the foreign troops outside the establishment suffered a total loss of about four-tenths, and the troops within the establishment suffered a total loss of three-tenths.

Among them, nearly half of the losses were caused by the Heart of Ruin.

Fortunately, Su Mo was deployed at close range, so their distance was relatively far away, otherwise the casualties would have definitely increased exponentially.

Overall, this battle damage was already very good. If it were said out loud, it could be bragged about for a lifetime.

But the only failure was that Su Mo and the Fiery Sun Wings were gone.

After searching for so long, they didn't even see a shred of him, it seemed he was really done for. Although he had always held a glimmer of hope, he had to accept reality in the end.

"Have they all returned?"

Nan Qi asked in a low voice.

"Commander Nan Qi, most of the survivors and search and rescue personnel have returned. But there is a force from the Federation that has not returned, they said they are looking for their missing companion, and hope to be given more time."

Bai Li reported softly.

Commander Nan Qi's eyes suddenly narrowed, the Federation?

The Federation's troops were the first to withdraw to the rear, and they suffered the least losses.

Still looking for their missing companion?

"Commander? Actually, there's no need to pay attention to them, we already issued the return order, and then we can set sail immediately."

Seeing that Nan Qi hadn't spoken for a long time, Bai Li said cautiously.

Nan Qi stood up and said with a blank expression, "Of course we have to set sail on time, but before that, I still have one thing to do. Everyone put down what they are doing, I have something to announce."

For a time, everyone present stopped working and looked at Nan Qi.

"Everyone has worked hard in this battle."

Nan Qi stroked his mustache and said.

"This is what we should do, and the main reason we were able to win this time is because Commander Nan Qi, you commanded well."

Deputy Commander Chai Ji took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"It's all thanks to Commander Nan Qi."

Everyone echoed.

Nan Qi stroked his mustache, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "Everyone has a share in the credit, everyone has worked hard. From now on, you don't have to worry about the rest, go and rest."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the field.

"Commander, this, this is not appropriate, if we all go down to rest, who will control this Black White Boundary Fortress?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.
