Chapter 1906 - 1499: Bad News (First Update)
On the other side, the Alien Nest Fortress, Heart of Forbidden Prison, was smoothly pulled to the designated position in the starry sky.The Federation specially dispatched a force to help guard the external area, prohibiting idlers from approaching.
But even so, there were many busybodies who kept secretly filming and uploading to the Star Ring Forum, causing some heated discussions.
However, most of the posts attracted curses.
"It’s truly the rich get richer, the poor don’t even have the right to live."
"At times like these, still flaunting wealth here."
"Exactly."
....
Compared to the one-sided criticism on the Star Ring Forum, when various countries learned that Su Mo had brought back such a massive fortress, they felt a mix of emotions.
The most intense reaction was from the Mechanical Empire of the First Birthplace, with Emperor Isaac even calling an emergency internal meeting.
It’s worth noting that he wasn’t this tense when the Negative Energy tide surged.
But you can’t blame him for reacting strongly; after all, the Federation has risen very aggressively in recent years, even gaining a position for the Royal Order. If this fortress were to be repaired by them, it would severely threaten the status of the Mechanical Empire.
"What are your thoughts on this matter?"
Emperor Isaac asked in a deep voice.
"Emperor, there’s no need to worry too much. Although it’s unclear where Su Mo fished out such a large entity, we are confident that Su Mo and the Federation can’t handle such a large fortress given their financial and technological capabilities."
Engtar and others exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and said.
"But even if they can’t handle it now, it doesn’t mean they can’t handle it in the future?"
Emperor Isaac said coldly.
"Emperor, maybe this isn’t necessarily a bad thing; we could try to buy it with money."
Alf and others suggested.
Emperor Isaac nodded and then looked at Engtar and said.
"Engtar, I’ll leave this matter to you. If you can accomplish it, you will have made a significant contribution to the Empire."
Hearing the Emperor’s words, Engtar felt a wave of bitterness in his heart. Honestly, he didn’t have much hope of accomplishing this, but since the Emperor had entrusted him with the task, he could only muster up the courage to respond.
"Yes, Emperor!"
...
On the other side, inside the command room of the Immortal Blade.
Su Mo instructed Qian Chengxue and the others on some matters.
"During this period, try to minimize contact with outsiders and guard the Heart of the Forbidden Prison Fortress well. I will do my best to prepare manpower to begin repairing the fortress..."
At that moment, Su Mo’s bracelet vibrated, and a message popped up.
Su Mo glanced at the message and paused slightly.
"What’s wrong, Su Mo? Is there a problem?"
Qian Chengxue asked curiously.
"It’s nothing, the President of Alles invited me for a meal, I’ll leave this to you guys."
Su Mo explained briefly, preparing to accept the invitation. Although the President of Alles agreed to give him manpower support not long ago, the specifics still needed to be discussed in detail.
"Okay!"
Qian Chengxue nodded in response.
...
Not long after, Su Mo piloted the Mecha at high speed to Earth Star, heading towards Freedom City.
As he approached, Su Mo saw several areas of Freedom City billowing with black smoke.
A lot of people gathered on the streets, and some were even holding up huge banners.
Seeing this scene, Su Mo frowned slightly, but he didn’t say much and continued to fly.
Within minutes, Su Mo piloted the Mecha to land in front of the Federation Council’s administration building.
The President of Alles was already waiting.
Su Mo opened the cockpit and jumped down.
Alles wore a faint smile as he approached and embraced Su Mo.
"Welcome home."
"Hmm, how are things in the Federation now, is it heavily affected by the Negative Energy tide?"
Su Mo nodded slightly and asked.
"This matter is a bit complicated, let’s eat first; the food is already prepared, and we can talk over the meal."
Mentioning this matter, the smile on Alles’s face vanished instantly, unsure how to explain it to Su Mo.
"Alright."
Su Mo sensed an ominous feeling but responded patiently.
Soon after, the two reached a small private restaurant.
Alles dismissed all accompanying personnel, sat down alone with Su Mo to eat, poured him a drink, and calmly said.
"This Negative Energy tide has caused a terrible impact on the Federation."
"How terrible? I saw the streets weren’t very peaceful on my way here."
Su Mo asked immediately.
"Extremely terrible, it’s severely impacting the Federation’s stability."
Alles didn’t hide it from Su Mo, whom he considered trustworthy.
Su Mo was shocked to hear this and said to Alles: "Is it really that serious, can’t the Federation handle it?"
"The Federation has the capability to handle it, but it doesn’t have the energy or strength to do so."
Alles replied simply.
"Why?"
Su Mo felt puzzled.
"Because the Federation is meticulously executing production targets issued by the Star Ring City, and we must invest a large amount of manpower and materials in the extraction and production of Star Ore, unable to manage the changes and res ...
Alles explained.
"Can’t you try to negotiate with Icaroya?"
"We have tried negotiating, but Lord Icaroya is very clear that she only wants results, not concerned with anything else. This has resulted in great public discontent towards her, and it’s already uncontrollable, with different levels of rebellions ...
"Is it that serious?"
Su Mo was also shocked, knowing the situation was bad but not expecting it to be this serious.
"Yes, it’s that serious. That’s also why the posts on Star Ring Forum about your returning with such a large fortress are mostly curses."
"Curses? Is that the case?"
Su Mo was slightly taken aback, quite surprised.
"Haven’t you been following the Star Ring Forum lately?"
Alles asked with a smile.
"How could I have time for that, always worried something might go wrong as I brought it back."
Su Mo responded helplessly.
"Haha, not following might be a good thing, keeping your mood unaffected."
Alles said with a laugh.
"Truly caught in the crossfire."
Su Mo also felt troubled.
"It’s an unavoidable situation; you brought it back at a slightly inopportune time. Regardless, your ability to bring back such a large fortress is an exceptionally good thing, worth celebrating."
Alles congratulated with a smile.
