Chapter 1809 - 1442: Failure (Part 2)
So, Su Mo was basically certain that the upcoming battle had nothing to do with them anymore.
Thus, Su Mo spoke to Luo Qi and An Yin.
"Hmm, I understand."
"Lord Su Mo, what should we do next? We are already extremely close to the Kalenants Star Sea."
Luo Qi asked with great respect.
After this war, Luo Qi’s attitude towards Su Mo had unknowingly changed.
Su Mo couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. To be honest, if it were a normal situation, having learned such astonishing information from Amariel, he would definitely take a gamble.
But now the situation clearly doesn’t work; in their current state, let alone entering the Kalenants Star Sea, they would be doomed if they encountered any wave of enemies.
Thinking of this, Su Mo said to Luo Qi and An Yin.
"Everyone retreat, evacuate from this starry sky. We will all withdraw to that Resource Star to recover."
"Understood. But what about these Dandelion Fortresses and Wind Shuttle class ships? We can’t operate them at all; the way the Eternal Sleep Clan drives their weapons is different from ours."
Luo Qi and An Yin hesitantly asked.
"It’s simple: now remove some of the more valuable things from these ships and fortresses. Then set them all to self-destruct from the inside, leaving nothing for the Eternal Sleep Clan."
Su Mo decisively gave the order.
"Yes!"
Luo Qi and others replied in unison.
Then Su Mo cut off the communication. At this moment, Long Ke said, rubbing his hands.
"Boss, we should also send some people to scavenge a bit. It’d be a loss not to!"
"Go ahead."
Su Mo didn’t stop him.
"Alright!"
Long Ke quickly responded.
.....
Thirteen hours later, accompanied by the explosions of Wind Shuttle class ships and Dandelion Fortresses in the starry sky.
The Legendary Level Immortal Blade led the fleet in retreat.
At this point, Su Mo stood alone on the lookout platform, gazing at the vast starry sky, feeling a complex mix of emotions.
"What are you thinking about?"
The creator, Swallower, replied in a low voice.
"Nothing, just thinking it’s a pity about the Haiduo race. Is there really no saving them? Do they really have to all commit suicide?"
Su Mo asked somewhat gloomily.
"There’s no saving them. The Haiduo race was able to rebel because the leaders suppressing them were forcibly killed by you. The Kirgui that came afterward isn’t directly in charge of them, unable to carry out large-scale Spiritual Executions, which gave the Haiduo race a loophole to exploit. But their rebellion will inevitably be exposed eventually, alarming the upper echelons of the Eternal Sleep Clan. By then, they would either be spiritually executed or caught and tortured. So it’s better to commit suicide and follow their Emperor in departure; that’s the best outcome."
"Is there no other way?"
"Absolutely not, don’t think about it. Do you know why the Eternal Sleep Clan is so powerful, and their military forces so terrifying? It’s because they sweep across the star seas, annex various races, assimilating and enslaving them. Moreover, the Eternal Sleep Clan never sincerely treats those races they assimilate, unless you have substantial value, otherwise, you’ll end up like the Haiduo race. Those that can truly be regarded as part of the Eternal Sleep Clan are like powerful entities such as Arion and Kirgui who enslave the Haiduo race."
The creator, Swallower, replied in a low voice.
"I see."
Su Mo sighed and replied.
"By the way, what are you planning to do about the intelligence Amariel finally told you?"
The creator, Swallower, asked in a low voice.
"I don’t know, take it one step at a time, let’s first find a way to repair the ships and replenish supplies. By the way, did you feel okay after swallowing such a huge body of Amariel?"
Su Mo suddenly thought of it and asked with some concern.
"Nothing could happen, Amariel’s body was quite a nutritional supplement. Although it appeared chaotic and consumed a lot, the Eternal Sleep Clan fed it good stuff to prevent Amariel from losing control, with little pollution."
The creator, Swallower, replied very contentedly.
"How much did you charge?"
Su Mo’s eyes lit up, asking with great curiosity.
"Fully charged!"
The creator, Swallower, replied in a very good mood.
Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s mood immediately improved: "Great, great, finally fully charged again."
"Hmph, that’s because you’re too poor."
The creator, Swallower, quipped suddenly.
"Haha, let’s not talk about that."
Su Mo replied with a laugh.
...
Much later, the fleet led by Su Mo returned to that Resource Star.
Everyone began to get busy, with Long Ke leading people to cooperate with Vilic to conduct partial repairs on the Immortal Blade.
There were more or less some spare parts stored on the ship, but it was hard to say how much they could repair.
Luo Qi and An Yin also began extensive recovery on the spot.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue disembarked from the ship, watching the busy crowd.
Qian Chengxue spoke to Su Mo: "What do you plan to do next? Where can we resupply?"
"The only places that can conduct large-scale resupply are Radiant City and Kedora Planet Fortress. The problem is that both are on the main battlefield now. Although battle information in each area is confidential, I can still guess that the main battlefield is fiercely contested. If we rashly go over, we will likely run into enemies or be dragged back into the battle vortex."
Su Mo calmly analyzed for Qian Chengxue.
"According to your analysis, heading to the main battlefield for resupply is absolutely not feasible."
Qian Chengxue also felt it was very tricky.
"That’s for sure."
Su Mo nodded.
