Free Web NovelChapter 1823: Chapter 1451: Accident 2
At this moment, the garrison soldiers of Star Ring City who were maintaining order on-site were instantly enraged and shouted.
"How dare you, to question Lord of Icaroya!"
The garrison soldiers at the scene immediately moved in to seize Hua Ke.
The expressions of several companions beside Hua Ke changed drastically. They hadn’t expected her to question the Lord of Icaroya, and now things were in big trouble. They hurriedly explained.
"Officers, Hua Ke is just too grief-stricken, she lost her mind for a moment."
"Anyone who questions Lord of Icaroya is a heretic!"
The soldiers present were not buying it at all.
At this moment, Su Mo raised his hand to stop them.
"Wait."
"Lord Su Mo, this woman is spouting nonsense, praising heretical claims, and even dares question Lord of Icaroya’s decisions. She’s a complete Rebel Army element, we cannot let her live."
The captain in the lead spoke respectfully to Su Mo.
Su Mo didn’t answer the captain, but walked straight toward Hua Ke.
Seeing Su Mo walking toward her, Hua Ke couldn’t help but take a fearful step back. But she quickly calmed down, gritted her teeth, lifted her stubborn face, and stared straight at Su Mo.
Su Mo slowly reached his hand toward Hua Ke. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Hua Ke was so nervous she shut her eyes tight, like someone walking to their death.
But Su Mo’s action stunned her. He just gently brushed aside the bangs covering her left eye and looked at the eye hidden underneath. From her left eye up to her forehead ran a deep scar, and her left eye had been completely removed.
If nothing unexpected had happened, it should have been injured by shrapnel.
Hua Ke snapped back to herself, and in a panic she raised her hand to fling Su Mo’s hand away, asking with a trace of fluster.
"What are you going to do?"
Su Mo slowly crouched down and spoke to Hua Ke.
"What you said isn’t completely without reason."
Once he said this, everyone present broke into an uproar, but no one dared to question Su Mo.
Su Mo continued, "If we hadn’t fought this war, maybe I would have very much agreed with you. But ever since this war started, after I encountered the Haiduo Clan enslaved by the Eternal Sleep Clan on the battlefield, I no longer think that way. They once held the same dreams as you, but their outcome was incomparably tragic. In the end, their entire civilization was completely erased from the universe."
"Yes, we’ve dug up plenty of resources, it looks like we could stop. But the Eternal Sleep Clan will never let you go. Real peace is beaten out with your fists. The weak will always just be beaten, and the reason the strong haven’t hit you yet is only because today they’re not in the mood to hit you. It doesn’t mean they won’t hit you in the future. Don’t harbor any illusions."
Su Mo explained in a low, heavy voice.
Hearing Su Mo’s words, the people present all came back to their senses and spoke in agreement.
"Lord Su Mo is right!"
"Yeah, we don’t want to start wars, but the Eternal Sleep Clan just won’t let us go..."
...
Hua Ke stood there in a daze. She wanted to refute Su Mo, but didn’t know how.
Tears uncontrollably streamed down.
Su Mo raised his hand and gently patted her head, speaking softly.
"Actually, you’re not wrong at all. The only thing that’s wrong is this era. Go home. Live well with your family’s expectations on your shoulders."
Then Su Mo turned and spoke to the garrison soldiers beside him.
"Kids shoot their mouths off. She didn’t mean any real harm. Just take her back and teach her properly. Don’t go tying her to heresy or the Rebel Army."
"Yes!"
The garrison soldiers present hurriedly responded respectfully.
"Alright, everyone stop standing around watching. Thank you all, hurry up and unload the cargo."
Su Mo spoke to the onlookers.
"Okay!"
The crowd quickly dispersed and went back to their own work.
Uncle Mo Ren hurried up to thank Su Mo.
"Lord Su Mo, thank you so much. If you hadn’t stepped in today, Hua Ke would’ve been finished. This kid’s actually got a good heart, she’s just been through too much."
"It’s fine. Just comfort her well."
Su Mo shook his head.
"Alright, I’ll take her away now."
Mo Ren quickly led Hua Ke away.
Su Mo watched Hua Ke’s departing back and couldn’t help falling into thought. In fact, what Hua Ke said had touched him quite a bit as well.
Qian Chengxue walked lightly to Su Mo’s side and said, "You’ve worked hard."
"It’s nothing. They came all this way just to deliver missiles to me; I can’t chill their hearts, especially when they’re from an Alliance Country. Enough talk, let’s hurry and load up. The sooner we set out, the sooner we can end this war."
Su Mo took a deep breath.
"Alright!"
Qian Chengxue nodded.
Over twenty hours later, all ammunition resupply was fully loaded.
"Goodbye, everyone."
After waving farewell to the crowd, Su Mo led Qian Chengxue and the others straight toward the boarding gate.
"Lord Su Mo, good luck!"
"Lord Su Mo, you must return in triumph!"
...
The crowd that had gathered waved to Su Mo one after another, sending him off.
Very soon, the Legendary Level Star Destroyer · Immortal Blade slowly powered up, floated into the air, and flew toward outer space.
At the same time, the fleets of Xiao Wen and Mo Baoke also moved, closing in one after another.
In the command room, Tilo reported the situation to Su Mo.
"The Star Destroyer · Immortal Blade has been repaired to eighty-seven percent integrity, and has 51 million missiles of various models in reserve."
"Very nice."
Even Su Mo was a bit pleasantly surprised by that quantity.
"But it’s a pity we only have 1 Antimatter Missile and 10 nuclear bombs, and those are all from Xiao Wen and Mo Baoke’s contribution."
Tilo explained roughly.
"That’s enough."
Su Mo lifted his head, quite satisfied with this result.
"Where are we heading now?"
Tilo raised her head and looked at Su Mo.
"First we head back to the starfield where we crushed Amariel, and from there we enter the Kalenants Star Sea."
"Understood!"
"Set off!"
With a wave of his hand, Su Mo crisply gave the order.
In the starry sky, the Legendary Level Star Destroyer · Immortal Blade led the fleet as it set out in mighty formation.

The edge of the Kalenants Star Sea.
The Hakens Nest was fleeing in utter humiliation and madness. Its Energy Barrier had been shattered, its bloated body blasted with several shocking large holes, all wreathed in roaring flames.
At this moment, the Kedora Planet Fortress was biting hard at its tail.
In the command room, Commander Kellaras stared at the image captured by the optical imaging device and spoke.
"Increase speed, sink it for me!"
"The power system is already outputting at maximum... Also, we’re about to enter the Kalenants Star Sea."
The subordinate wiped the sweat on his forehead and reported nervously. Commander Kellaras was chasing the fiercest; now they had already pulled a certain distance away from Radiant City and Dust Fortress.
Just then, a crackling and blurry holographic projection suddenly popped up out of thin air.
"What’s going on?"
The operator was also slightly stunned.
Right after that, surprised voices came one after another over the public communication channel.
"What’s happening, why did I receive a blurry image?"
"I got one too."
