Another side, in the starry sky.

Moghesi, a VI-type heroic spirit touch, looked at the incoming enemies. In an instant, all the patterns on his body lit up, and he snorted coldly!

"Position disruption!"

A special position spread out in an instant.

In an instant, the mechas present, except for the two Future Messengers, had their energy barriers, positional exoskeletons, and positional barriers all collapse.

However, this did not slow down Xia Weiya and the others.

Bage took the lead, piloting a V-generation biological mecha, Bloodthirsty Maniac, that was seventy meters tall, covered in blood-red armor, and wielding a giant hammer.

He controlled the Bloodthirsty Maniac to raise the giant hammer.

"Crushing Blow!"

He smashed down towards Moghesi head-on.

Bang~

Moghesi raised his bony left hand and easily caught Bage's full-strength blow!

"Utterly foolish!"

In Moghesi's eyes, Bage's behavior was suicidal. He dared to attack him head-on. He laughed angrily.

Then, Moghesi raised his left hand and clawed towards Bage.

However, Bage was not afraid. This was the effect he wanted.

At this moment, Xia Weiya, piloting the Future Messenger, appeared out of thin air on Moghesi's right side with a flash of light speed. She waved the spear in her hand and struck Moghesi with a flash of light speed, piercing his AT-position exoskeleton.

"Flash of Light!"

Bang!

The tip of the entire spear pierced into the position exoskeleton little by little, but it still didn't break through.

However, it made Moghesi's attack on Bage pause, and Bage took advantage of this momentary gap to dodge the attack with a side flash.

"Damn it!"

Moghesi became even more annoyed when he saw his attack miss.

But when it turned its body to sweep towards Xia Weiya, Xia Weiya suddenly leaned her body to the side, giving way.

Hebert, piloting the Future Messenger, turned into a stream of light, arriving in a seamless instant, his spear like a dragon.

Clang!

The silver spear pierced Moghesi's AT-position exoskeleton, and the piercing point was exactly the point where Xia Weiya attacked. In an instant, Moghesi's AT-position exoskeleton was pierced, and the silver spear struck his body.

Moghesi flew backwards, but fortunately he quickly stabilized his body.

But Moghesi was also shocked and raised his head, looking at Hebert and the others in disbelief.

"How is it possible? You can actually hurt me."

Hebert said proudly, "You wouldn't really think of us as Commander Lorek, would you? Although we're both piloting Future Messengers, you have to see who's piloting them. We can take you down with just the few of us, without anyone else's help."

Although the performance of the Future Messenger was incomparable to Moghesi's, it had at least reached the standard of breaking through the defense, which was enough for Hebert and the others.

"Looking for death!"

Moghesi was extremely furious. Its huge mouth cracked open, and then it gathered a terrifying beam of light, sweeping towards Hebert and the others.

However, Hebert and Xia Weiya maneuvered the Future Messengers like afterimages and disappeared.

Then, the two of them attacked Moghesi's back with the force of lightning!

Moghesi reacted extremely quickly, immediately twisting his hands to block the two's charged attacks, his head quickly exchanged back and forth, and his large purple pupils lit up.

Xia Weiya and Hebert then scattered, using the recoil force.

At this time, beams of light arrived in an instant!

Bage maneuvered the mecha at high speed, leading the surrounding mechas to launch a remote attack on Moghesi.

Rumble~

In an instant, Moghesi was covered by attacks from all over the sky.

Of course, these attacks had almost no effect, but they successfully interrupted Moghesi's offensive.

Just as Moghesi turned into a terrifying stream of light, rushed out of the explosion, and was about to go berserk.

Xia Weiya had been waiting for a long time. She controlled the Future Messenger to open a launch port.

A round, specially made antimatter missile was fired.

Moghesi subconsciously turned around and tore the missile apart with one claw!

Boom~

A dazzling sun rose.

Moghesi was caught off guard and his entire body flew backwards.

At this time, Hebert manipulated the Future Messenger to perform a double light-speed flash, aggressively attacking Moghesi, and the spear in his hand pierced through like a stream of light.

"Thorn of Thorns!"

Moghesi raised his head, his body swayed, and he forcibly deflected to dodge.

Clang!

In this way, it was also cut, and a wound was cut on the right side of its body, but it recovered in an instant.

But this also shocked Moghesi, and he forcibly widened the distance.

Hebert and Xia Weiya turned into two streams of light and chased after them.

The three turned into streams of light and collided continuously in the starry sky.

......

After a long time, Moghesi saw that he couldn't take down Hebert and the others, so he made a high-speed detour, wanting to attack the City of Radiance.

Unfortunately, Hebert and Xia Weiya didn't give it a chance at all. When it detoured inward, they forcibly intercepted it.

"Damn it!"

Moghesi couldn't help but stop. Throughout the entire battle, it felt extremely aggrieved. It felt like its strength was hitting the air, completely useless.

Also, the other party had actually hurt it. The battle at the Star Gate before was completely different.

"With me here, don't even think about getting past."

Hebert raised the silver spear in his hand and pointed it directly at Moghesi, saying proudly.

Moghesi looked at Hebert, Xia Weiya, and the others who were blocking him, and said distortedly.

"Hmph, so what if you can stop me? Is it useful? Can you stop the Na Shen? As long as the City of Radiance is paralyzed, I'll have enough time to slowly clean you up. Then we'll see who wins?"

When Xia Weiya and the others heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, and they subconsciously looked towards the distant starry sky.

The main and secondary guns of the Ancient Legendary-class Star Destroyer Na Shen were shining brightly, and countless launch ports on its hull were all unfolded.

In an instant, countless trajectories poured out, covering the sky and the earth.

Then, two dazzling beams of light blasted out.

The firepower of the Na Shen was pouring out. If it really hit the half-paralyzed City of Radiance, then everything would really be over.

"Crap."

Xia Weiya's face changed drastically, and her heart rose sharply.

Just when everyone thought it was over, the energy barrier of the City of Radiance suddenly reconstructed.

Rumble~

An extremely terrifying attack exploded on the reconstructed energy shield, illuminating the entire area.

After the light faded, the City of Radiance stood intact in its place.

At this time, in the communication channel, everyone cheered excitedly, "The City of Radiance has recovered!!"

At this time, the main and secondary guns of the City of Radiance all moved and readjusted.

When Moghesi saw this scene, he roared angrily, "Waste!"

But angry as he was, Moghesi turned into a stream of light and fled towards the distant starry sky without saying a word. At the same time, it issued a retreat order to all the forces of the Eternal Sleeper Clan.

Hebert and the others watched Moghesi escape, but did not stop him, because interception would be useless.

In the command room of the Na Shen, Bai Li looked at the recovered City of Radiance and knew that there was no point in continuing the fight. This operation had completely failed, and she issued an order without hesitation.

"Withdraw!"

"Yes!"

The operators responded one after another.

For a time, the enemies in the starry sky began to flee frantically, like a receding tide!

......

City of Radiance · Power Room.

Su Mo manipulated the V-generation biological mecha, Light of Sin, and took the lead in carrying the base of the solar furnace, while the dense mechas around him, like swarms of bees, supported the solar furnace from all directions.

If you look closely, you will find that the main power line connecting the solar furnace to the City of Radiance has been temporarily connected.

And the entire bottom of the solar furnace was corroded, with petrified and shattered bodies of special silicon-based lifeforms · Mortex everywhere.

The Thunder God's Spear was stuck on it.

Inside the cockpit of the Light of Sin, Su Mo was carrying it so hard that he was about to vomit blood. This solar furnace was really hot and heavy.

"How much longer do I have to carry this? My hands are about to melt."

"How long has it been? What's the rush? Besides, every second you carry it now is meritorious service."

The Creator · Devourer said to Su Mo.

"That's great, then I'll carry it a little longer."

When Su Mo heard what the Creator · Devourer said, his eyes lit up, and he didn't feel tired at all.

In the battle command room.

Artificial Intelligence · Light and Shadow reported to Goli, who had returned.

"The main power line is connected, the energy barrier has been restarted, and all the enemies are retreating. Should we pursue?"

"Don't pursue. Now is not the time to settle accounts with them. Quickly send people to the power room to repair the base of the solar furnace."

Goli breathed a sigh of relief.

"Generating instructions."

......

More than a dozen hours later, under the laying of engineering mechas, the solar furnace was temporarily fixed in mid-air by special shackles.

Su Mo and the others released their hands while controlling the mechas.

Immediately, Su Mo and the others' bracelets rang with an instruction.

"Search Order: In order to prevent the target from being completely dead, the City of Radiance will conduct a thorough search for seven days..."

When Su Mo saw this order, his face twitched severely. He thought that things were over, but he didn't expect that he would have to clean up the mess.

"Sigh."

......

Seven days later, Su Mo lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all.

These days had almost completely exhausted him. They had searched almost the entire bottom of the City of Radiance.

Fortunately, no abnormalities were detected.

"I'm exhausted. Little Devourer, do you think that monster is completely dead?"

"It should be completely dead. After all, it hasn't grown for very long, and the Thunder God's Spear is specifically designed to restrain silicon-based creatures. If it can still survive, then it would be too heaven-defying."

The Creator · Devourer replied in a low voice.

"That's good."

When Su Mo heard this, his heart relaxed.

"But to be honest, if that monster had been allowed to continue growing, there would have been no way to clean up the mess later on. When you killed it this time, its strength had already grown to the level of an ordinary VI-type."

The Creator · Devourer explained.

"It was just lucky. The City of Radiance is too suitable to be its incubator."

Su Mo thought for a while and replied.

Just as Su Mo and the Creator · Devourer were chatting, Su Mo's bracelet suddenly vibrated, displaying a notification that he had a message.

"No way? Another mission?"

Su Mo was shocked and sat up subconsciously.

"What mission?"

The Creator · Devourer was also a little curious.

Su Mo clicked on the message and saw the contents, and heaved a sigh of relief and said.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness it's not a mission. It's an invitation to a dinner party from Lord Goli."

After the Creator · Devourer heard this, he didn't say anything.

......

The next night, Su Mo, wearing a neat military uniform, arrived at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion was at the very top of the City of Radiance.

The scenery here was the best. Standing here, you could have a panoramic view of the entire City of Radiance. Moreover, when the City of Radiance was in its unfolded state, you could directly look at the distant starry sky, and the feeling was completely different from before.

At this time, the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion was unusually lively, and high-ranking officers were chatting and laughing.

It seemed that Goli had invited quite a few people this time.

Su Mo glanced at the open gate of the City Lord's Mansion. The structure was quite imposing, but it was not as luxurious as he had imagined.

"Su Mo!"

At this time, a happy voice came from behind.

Su Mo subconsciously turned his head and saw Wen Luosi, Wang Hai, and the others walking over, and he showed a smile and replied.

"You're here too."

"Of course. I heard that a total of more than two thousand officers were invited this time."

Wen Luosi replied in a very good mood.

"So many were invited?"

Su Mo was also a little surprised.

"This time it's said to be a banquet, but it's actually a banquet to reward meritorious service, so naturally more people will come. In addition, this is the first time that the City of Radiance has successfully resolved a major event, and Lord Goli attaches great importance to all the meritorious personnel."

Wang Hai explained to Su Mo.

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Su Mo nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, the greatest contributor this time should be Herbert, the Royal Knights' Twelfth Knight."

Xiu Lisi said thoughtfully.

"What meritorious service did he perform?"

Su Mo asked very curiously.

"Huh? You don't know? Lord Herbert and the others, with just three people, blocked Moghesi, the Vice Patriarch of the Eternal Sleeper Clan."

Wen Luosi looked at Su Mo very unexpectedly and explained.

"That's awesome. Three people blocked Moghesi?"

Su Mo was also secretly surprised. He didn't expect that the battle outside was so fierce. When he thought of Moghesi, Su Mo felt instinctively a little terrified. He almost lost his life last time.

"That's right."

"Wait, were Herbert and the others seriously injured?"

"There were no serious injuries. But I heard that Moghesi, who came to attack, was beaten to a pulp instead."

"Awesome!"

Su Mo couldn't help but give a thumbs up, but he was also very surprised. He remembered that Herbert and the others were piloting Future Messengers, right? How could they stop Moghesi?

In his impression, Commander Lorek, piloting a Future Messenger in front of Moghesi, was completely being beaten down.

The Creator · Devourer seemed to see Su Mo's doubts and said to him, "There's nothing to be surprised about. The Future Messenger can barely fight VI-type enemies. As long as the skill is good enough, it's not impossible to win against the strong with the weak. The higher the ranking of the Royal Knights, the stronger their strength will naturally be. It's not that I look down on you, but although your skills are good, if it weren't for my blessing, you might not be able to beat Xia Weiya, let alone Herbert."

"Can't you say something nice?"

Su Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes at the Creator · Devourer.

"Su Mo? You wouldn't have been paying attention to the main battlefield, would you? Be honest, where did you go to slack off again?"

At this time, Wen Luosi covered her mouth and asked with a chuckle.

"No, I didn't..."

Just as Su Mo was about to explain, Wang Hai opened his mouth and said, "Let's go in first. It seems that the banquet is about to begin."

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded.

Soon after, Su Mo and Wang Hai followed the main force into the City Lord's Mansion, and everyone was led to a banquet hall.

The entire banquet hall was decorated in a regular manner, and it was not particularly luxurious.

The banquet adopted a buffet style. The entire hall was filled with long tables, and the tables were filled with all kinds of delicacies.

There were many people entering, and everyone was chatting.

Just then, the guard at the door shouted loudly.

"Lord Herbert, Lord Xia Weiya, Lord Bage are here!"

The three of them walked in wearing colonial armor. Seeing the three people who came in, many of the officers who were still chatting freely raised their glasses and approached the three of them, greeting them warmly.

Herbert and the three were not completely unapproachable. They replied a few words more or less, after all, they were all companions.

At this time, Su Mo decisively found the most remote corner to squat in.

Wang Hai and the others naturally followed. Xiu Lisi looked at Su Mo with a strange expression.

"Su Mo, this banquet is a rare opportunity to show your face in front of Lord Goli. Everyone is squeezing forward. Aren't you going?"

"What am I going to do? It's good to squat here."

Su Mo didn't care at all.

"I think what Su Mo said is right. It's the same everywhere."

Wang Hai also thought it was good here.

At this time, Wen Luosi asked Su Mo curiously, "Su Mo, have those people who released the virus and the monster been found?"

"No. It wasn't easy to find them in the first place, and then that silicon-based monster made a big fuss. In addition, the enemy attacked, and this disturbance made it even harder to find them. By the way, let me remind you of something. The people who can do this are definitely super dangerous. If you really notice anything, don't act rashly and notify me immediately."

Su Mo said at the end, and instructed them with some worry.

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing."

Wang Hai and the three nodded.

......

Suddenly, the entire banquet hall became quiet. Goli, wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt and her hair in a bun, walked in with outstanding demeanor.

"Lord Goli."

Everyone greeted her one after another.

Goli had a warm smile on her face, and bowed to everyone and said.

"Thank you very much for coming to today's banquet. There's nothing special about today. The main thing is that everyone has worked hard in this operation. For this reason, I've specially invited everyone to have a meal to promote our relationship. Everyone doesn't need to be too restrained tonight. Eat and drink as much as you like."

"Lord Goli is too polite. This is what we should do."

Herbert took the lead and said.

"That's right. This is what we should do. Everything is for you, Lord Goli."

......

Many officers echoed.

At this time, Goli picked up a glass of red wine and said to everyone, "I toast everyone with this glass of wine. Thank you for fighting bravely for the City of Star Rings. We will move forward together in the future!"

"Yes!"

Everyone picked up their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

Just as everyone finished drinking the wine in their glasses, everyone's bracelets vibrated.

Everyone looked at the information that popped up on their bracelets, and many people showed smiles that they couldn't suppress.

The meritorious service rewards for this period have been settled.

Su Mo was also a little excited and opened the message to take a look.

"Dear Colonel Su Mo, due to your outstanding completion of the special search mission in Area B5, you are specially awarded 100,000 meritorious service points."

"Dear Colonel Su Mo, due to your detection of the enemy's poisoning, timely reporting, and discovery of the source of the poisoning, minimizing the commotion, you are specially awarded 3,000,000 meritorious service points."

"Dear Colonel Su Mo, due to your heroic completion of the underground monster's main body search mission, you are awarded 1,000,000 meritorious service points."

"Dear Colonel Su Mo, due to your heroic protection of the solar furnace in the power room, you are specially awarded 38,000,000 meritorious service points."

Su Mo roughly calculated that he had obtained a total of 42,100,000 meritorious service points.

Su Mo was quite satisfied with this number, which was better than he had imagined.

At this time, Goli said to everyone, "I believe everyone has received the meritorious service rewards. This is what you deserve. I hope you can continue to work hard in the future."

"Thank you, Lord Goli."

Everyone responded one after another.

"Alright, everyone, enjoy yourselves."

Goli said a few simple words and announced the start of the banquet.

At this time, a subordinate walked in and whispered a few words in Goli's ear. After Goli listened, she had a thoughtful expression, and then temporarily left the banquet hall.

When everyone saw that Goli had left, they became even more relaxed and chatted with each other.

"How many meritorious service points did you get?"

"This is confidential."

"Just say it, it won't kill you."

"1,000,000 meritorious service points."

"Wow, so many. I only got 600,000 meritorious service points. What did you do?"

"Hehe, I didn't do anything. I was just lucky enough to kill a wounded V-type elite spirit touch."

"You really had a stroke of good luck."

......

At this time, countless people surrounded Herbert, congratulating and asking.

"Lord Herbert, how many meritorious service points did you get? You know that this crisis was resolved successfully thanks to you."

"No, no, the greatest credit for resolving this crisis goes to Lord Goli's effective command. I just tried my best to contribute my meager strength. As for meritorious service points, there weren't many."

Herbert replied in a good mood.

"Lord Herbert, just reveal a little bit so we can share your glory."

Major General Kuna said with a smile.

"That's right."

Many officers asked one after another.

"In principle, the amount of meritorious service points is a personal matter and it's not good to say. But since you all want to know, then I'll tell you. I obtained a total of 24,000,000 meritorious service points."

Herbert said somewhat proudly.

"So many. I just heard that Lord Xia Weiya only obtained 16,000,000 meritorious service points, and Lord Bage obtained 7,000,000 meritorious service points."

"I told you, Lord Herbert is the greatest contributor to this crisis, so naturally he obtained the most in the whole room."

......

Many high-ranking officers said respectfully.

Herbert accepted everyone's praise to him very calmly.

Not far away, Xia Weiya, who was with Bage, watched this scene, drank the red wine in her glass in one gulp, and a trace of displeasure appeared in her eyes.

Bage scratched his head and said to Xia Weiya, "How did Artificial Intelligence · Light and Shadow evaluate this? You two clearly went up together to intercept him. Why is there such a big difference in meritorious service points?"

"What's so strange about that? Artificial Intelligence · Light and Shadow thinks that Herbert posed a greater threat to Moghesi than I did."

Xia Weiya said lightly.

"So you're saying that Artificial Intelligence · Light and Shadow still thinks Herbert is stronger than you."

Bage blurted out subconsciously.

Xia Weiya turned her head and glanced at Bage, and Bage immediately shuddered and shut up!

He also realized that he had said the wrong thing and hit Xia Weiya's vital point.

The Mechanical Empire and the Laurel Empire had always been at odds and had been fighting constantly for many years, competing openly and secretly.

Xia Weiya didn't get angry at Bage. This guy was originally insensitive and couldn't speak.

At this time, Xia Weiya's gaze inadvertently swept to Su Mo squatting in the corner. Her eyes turned slightly, and then she showed a smile.

She then picked up her glass and walked towards Su Mo.

When Bage saw Xia Weiya walking towards Su Mo, he naturally followed.

At this time, Su Mo was chatting happily with Wang Hai and the others.

Suddenly, Wang Hai and the others straightened their expressions and closed their mouths.

Su Mo immediately noticed something strange and subconsciously turned his head to look over. He was also very surprised to see Xia Weiya and Bage walking over.

Wang Hai and the others greeted Xia Weiya and Bage one after another.

"Commander Xia Weiya, Commander Bage!"

"You don't need to be so restrained. It's a banquet now, and there are no ranks. Su Mo, why are you hiding here?"

Xia Weiya replied to Wang Hai and the others slightly, and then asked Su Mo with a smile.

"Am I? It's pretty good here."

Su Mo replied easily.

"Wait, I suddenly remembered something. Why didn't I see you during the battle before? You wouldn't have been slacking off again, would you?"

Xia Weiya suddenly remembered and asked.

"Hey, don't slander me. Am I that kind of person?"

Su Mo replied with a dark face.

The surrounding Wen Luosi and the others were dumbfounded, and couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for Su Mo, who actually spoke to Xia Weiya like that.

After Xia Weiya said this, Bage also reacted.

"That's right. What were you doing? I didn't see any trace of you when we were encircling Moghesi. You wouldn't have chickened out, would you?"

"Go, go, go. Who chickened out? I had more important things to do."

Su Mo explained.

"More important things? Let me see how many meritorious service points you obtained this time."

Xia Weiya suddenly remembered and asked with a smile.

"What are you looking at? That thing is a personal privacy. Don't be so gossipy."

Su Mo coughed and was unwilling to show it to Xia Weiya.

"Alright, I'll just take a look. I don't want yours. Or did you get too few? Are you afraid to show it to us? Don't worry, we promise not to laugh at you."

Seeing that Su Mo didn't show it to her, Xia Weiya became even more curious.

Bage also echoed, "Don't be so fussy, like a woman."

"Alright, I'll show it to you."

Su Mo was also speechless and showed them his bracelet.

When Xia Weiya saw the value Su Mo gave, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

Bage shouted in shock, "42,100,000 meritorious service points. How did you get so many? More than Herbert?"

With this shout, the originally very lively banquet hall became quiet in an instant.

Everyone turned their heads to look over.

Xia Weiya couldn't help but roll her eyes at Bage, who was being such an idiot and shouting so loudly.

At this time, Su Mo was about to spit out a mouthful of blood and couldn't help but complain to Bage, "Could you be a little quieter?"

"No, I was really scared. How can you have so many points?"

Bage replied awkwardly.

ps: Something came up today, and I'll resume the five updates tomorrow, don't even think about exploiting loopholes again (*^▽^*).
