Chapter 145 Arrival at Xuanwu Fortress
Chapter 145 Arrival at Xuanwu Fortress (Two in One)
The Hurricane started the fourth-level warp engine alone, crossed the Beitianmen space battle and took the star gate back to the Yunshan main star. After many years, Feng Mo returned to the Yunshan Military Academy again.
The Hurricane slowly docked at Starport No. 1. The team leader and a group of students did not see Feng Mo until they set foot on the ground of the starport. Instead, Gu Yanyan walked out of the light beam with a happy face, and then watched the Hurricane return.
Half a day later, the Hurricane successfully arrived at the Hurricane Star from the Yunshan Star. As soon as he walked into the office, he met Al who had just finished his patrol.
Feng Mo took Ai’er into the office, and then let her sit in his arms. He played with her tail and said:
“This time the interstellar Zerg are invading the Xinghai Human Federation. As the Duke of the Yunshan Empire, there is no reason for me not to join the war. Besides, the two big blood-eating households in the Shouming Galaxy are still waiting to be fed. I should get more corpses of the interstellar Zerg back. After the two big households are dead, it will be time to harvest.”
After hearing this, Al nodded in agreement. She followed the Storm Fleet when it went to the Beast Roaring Galaxy and saw with her own eyes how the Life-Devouring Ancient Trees and the bloodthirsty vines devoured flesh and blood. The Zerg corpses that filled three T3 interstellar transport ships were devoured by the two big ones.
Despite consuming such a large amount, the Life-Devouring Ancient Tree has only produced seven fruits, which are not yet ripe. In contrast, the Bloodthirsty Vine has produced twenty-four fruits, twelve of which are ripe and twelve are unripe.
Al picked twelve fruits of plants and stored them in a sealed box. These would be treasures that could be auctioned in the future. Feng Mo had already told Al about his idea of setting up an auction house, and Al also agreed with his idea.
Nowadays, the construction of the four galaxies is consuming star coins all the time every day, which is a huge consumption. Gradually, the star coins in the Hurricane Galaxy’s account are almost insufficient. Fortunately, there are dividends from the Fengyun Starship Trading Company, otherwise they will go bankrupt.
Not to mention establishing a country in the future, which would require a large amount of star coins. What’s more, Feng Mo currently has five fleets under his command, and the starships of three of them are still incomplete, not to mention upgrading them, which all require star coins.
The dividends from the Fengyun Starship Trading Company alone are not enough to support such huge expenses, not to mention the construction of T5 starships in the future, which is another huge expense.
That’s why Feng Mo was so anxious to go to the front battlefield. Only by feeding these two big households could he bring him sufficient benefits.
You should know that a fruit of the Life-Devouring Ancient Tree is worth 4 million star coins. This value is not low. A regular T4 frigate is just one million star coins. One fruit can be exchanged for regular T frigates.
“Commander, please be sure to bring Al with you when you go to Xuanwu Fortress this time. This way, he can help you command the fleet when you are busy, and help you relax when you are free.”
As Al spoke, he wrapped his tail around Feng Mo’s fingers and looked at Feng Mo seductively.
In an instant, Feng Mo’s lower abdomen burst out with astonishing heat. Ai’er obviously noticed it. His face turned slightly red, his seductive lips slightly opened, and he exhaled fragrant hot air.
Feng Mo couldn’t bear it any longer, he picked up Al, kicked open the door of the office, and walked towards their bedroom. He opened the door of the bedroom and came to the bed. Feng Mo found that there was a bulge under the flat quilt, and the shape was inexplicably familiar.
Feng Mo understood instantly that Kai Lan also came from the Storm Galaxy. It was obvious that it was El who asked her to come. In that case, how could Feng Mo refuse? So the two of them had to come together.
There was no conversation that night. The two women didn’t even say a complete sentence that night. Feng Mo was also very happy.
In the next seven days, Feng Mo kept an eye on the production of the interstellar shipyard while flirting with the two women. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of departure arrived.
Currently, there are three T5 fleets stationed in the Xuanwu Interstellar Fortress, and Feng Mo’s Storm Fleet is not needed. Feng Mo’s destination this time is Planet Z043, which is located between the Xuanwu Interstellar Fortress and the Beitianmen Space Station.
Behind the Xuanwu Interstellar Fortress and near the Beitianmen Space Station, all the planets are named with numbers starting with Z. There are a total of 139 planets, including Planet Z227 where Feng Mo had been interning in his senior year and Planet Z for support.
Both of them are near the Beitianmen Space Station and are not very dangerous. The real danger lies in planets Z001 to Z081. The Northern Theater Command has deployed a large number of defense fleets on these planets in order to intercept the interstellar Zerg outside the Beitianmen Space Station.
Now that the interstellar Zerg are engaged in a large-scale battle with the northern war zone, the first to bear the brunt is the Basalt Interstellar Fortress, which is the first line of defense.
After that are these 81 defense planets, which are the second line of defense, and then are the Beitianmen Space Station and planets Z082 to Z334, which are the third line of defense.
If all three lines of defense are breached, it means that the four major empires in the north are not far from collapse. By that time, the entire Star Sea Human Federation may not be far from collapse.
The second line of defense has 81 planets, each defended by 4 T043 fleets. One of them suffered heavy casualties a month ago and has applied to return home. Feng Mo applied to go to the battlefield at this time, and Gu Jun helped apply. After discussion, the Northern Theater decided to let the Storm Fleet fill the vacancy. Planet Z was converted into a supply planet by the military, with more than million logistics soldiers on it. Feng Mo was responsible for guarding the planet and patrolling the surrounding area. It is now in the first-level combat readiness stage, and patrols must be conducted at least twice a day.
Feng Mo only brought the Storm Fleet with him on this expedition. Now, after Feng Mo had allocated starships to other fleets many times to replenish the Storm Fleet, the battle fleet only had two quasi-T5 starships, fifty-six T4 starships and two T3 Boxers.
As for the logistics fleet, it is composed of five T4 Furnaces, ten T3 Reindeer, and ten T3 Red Worms. The entire fleet has a total of eighty-five starships, which can only be regarded as a larger micro fleet, because a small fleet requires one hundred starships, and the Storm Fleet does not meet the standard.
But no one would underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Storm Fleet. This fleet is enough to compete with a general large T4 fleet of a thousand ships and even win.
This time, Feng Mo only brought Ai’er and Han Peipei. Hua Qin needed to guard the Beast Roaring Galaxy, the Lekalesi sisters guarded the Hurricane Galaxy, Kailan guarded the Storm Galaxy, and Siliya guarded the Tianjing Galaxy.
Elisa is the busiest. She has to build star gates, transform the entire Beast Star System, and continue to produce T4 starships. But she enjoys it because Feng Mo bribed her by bringing her back a lot of special snacks from the Yunshan Empire.
Hurricane control room.
“The target planet has been locked, the route has been planned, the weapons and energy have been replenished, and the fleet is about to enter the intelligent synchronous warp speed navigation mode. Please ask the first-level gene warriors to enter the deep sea mode autonomously.”
This time it was Han Peipei’s turn to report. To reach Planet Z043, one must first reach the Hurricane Galaxy Gate, pass through the gate to reach the Yunshan Galaxy, then enter the warp navigation mode to reach the Beitianmen Space Station, and after inspection, go to Planet Z043.
By the time Feng Mo arrived at Planet Z043, nearly a day had passed. The latter part of the journey took too much time. Due to the existence of the interceptor, the fleet could not enter the warp navigation mode during the Beitianmen Space Battle and the Xuanwu Interstellar Fortress.
That’s why it took some time. After arriving at Planet Z043, the Storm Fleet docked in Starport No. . The area of this planet is not large and the environment is very harsh, but there is a large energy shield on the surface. The scenery inside is like spring all year round, making it suitable for human habitation.
Feng Mo took a flying car from Star Port No. 1 to the base building, which was an office building specially prepared for the commander stationed on the planet.
After Feng Mo arrived at the top-floor office, he called all the captains over. Now all the captains of the entire Storm Fleet were the original crew members of the Storm. Feng Mo did not let them down. He trained them all to become captains of the Storm Fleet and freed them from slavery.
And they did not let Feng Mo down. No matter how dangerous the situation was, they would accompany Feng Mo and charge forward. There were a total of 150 crew members, but less than 100 are alive now, and the rest have sacrificed their lives. The casualty rate is really not high.
“Everyone, the Storm Fleet will be stationed here for at least the next year, and patrolling twice a day is a must, so divide the fifty-six T4-class battle starships of the Storm Fleet into four groups, with fourteen starships in each group, and rotate every four days, so that everyone has a fixed rest time.”
“But we must be serious when patrolling. This is the frontline battlefield. It is different from the star wars that the Storm Fleet has experienced in the past. Those are not the real frontlines. This is a large meat grinder, so we must be fully alert.”
“I hope to see you all again in a year. I hope none of the eighty-four captains die today. I will personally celebrate your success in a year!”
After completing the patrol assignments, Al took Han Peipei to patrol the planet. Feng Mo came to the lounge alone and lay flat on the big bed. The Fire Panel appeared in his eyes, and this time two temporary tasks were updated.
[Temporary mission: Guard Planet Z043 for one year, reward: 1000 points]
[Temporary mission: destroy 4 T3 Hive Motherships and 1000 T2000 Hive Motherships. Reward: 4 points, T Mule-class interstellar carrier]
These two tasks are extremely important to Feng Mo, not for the T4 Mule-class interstellar carrier, but for the 3000 points rewarded by the mission. Feng Mo now has 7660 points, and adding another 3000 will make up 5 points to exchange for a T starship.
Feng Mo seemed to have realized that the time to establish a nation was just around the corner. There was still a year left, so he had to let Elisa speed up. He had to squeeze her more so that she didn’t even have time to eat snacks, only then would she be a qualified lord.
Feng Mo thought so and did so. Without even looking at the time, he immediately sent dozens of messages to Alyssa. After sending them, Feng Mo, feeling refreshed both physically and mentally, turned off the smart terminal, lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep.
