Chapter 1892 - 1495: Setting Sail (Part 3)
"Of course it’s true, otherwise how could we be roaming in the Absolute Forbidden Zone and making a fortune?"Gris boasted while drinking.
"Come on, if it were true, you wouldn’t be drinking this bad liquor here."
"That’s right, hurry up and pay the tab."
"Yeah, haha!"
...
Guests and the bartender couldn’t help but laugh.
Gris waved his hand and said, "What’s the rush? It’s just a little money, wait till I get paid."
At that moment, a pair of steady and strong hands suddenly patted Gris’s shoulder from behind.
"Bragging again."
Gris was slightly startled, then turned his head to see Su Mo standing behind him, stammering in disbelief.
"Su, Lord Su Mo!"
The noisy tavern suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Su Mo.
Many NCOs recognized Su Mo and quickly stood firm.
Su Mo raised his electronic bracelet and paid the bill for Gris, then said to him.
"Come with me."
"Alright, alright."
Gris promptly replied.
The two of them started walking outside.
Once they left, the previously quiet tavern suddenly erupted into chaos.
"Damn, did I see right? It’s really Knight Commander Su Mo of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights."
"It’s him, indeed."
"Too bad I didn’t ask for his autograph."
...
Outside the tavern, Su Mo led Gris toward the port.
"Lord Su Mo, where are you taking me?"
Gris was still quite confused.
"To the Absolute Forbidden Zone, to fetch that big thing, are you in?"
Su Mo didn’t joke with Gris, he spoke directly.
Gris’s eyes lit up upon hearing this and he spoke excitedly.
"This task is thrilling, gotta go for it!"
"By the way, I gave you a large sum of money, how come you’ve spent it so quickly?"
"Part of that money was given to the Legion Leader, part of it was distributed to the families of fallen comrades, and since I alone am well-fed, my family doesn’t go hungry, so I didn’t keep much."
Gris replied carefreely.
"Hmm, you’re a good man, come with me..."
Su Mo listened and admired him greatly.

Inside the administrative office in Star Ring City.
Icaroya gazed at the coordination report, frowning, seemingly very dissatisfied.
At this moment, Green Ghost walked in, respectfully saluted Icaroya, and reported.
"Latest intelligence!"
"Read it!"
Icaroya spoke coldly.
"The pioneer exploration team discovered two major star mines on Ceres. However, due to the complex situation on Ceres, Lady Goli hopes that Star Ring City will send some forces to support. Furthermore, the Dust Legion of the Third Legion has also discovered a giant star mine in the Eternal Sleep Star Sea..."
Green Ghost continuously reported various explosive news being transmitted back.
After listening, Icaroya pondered for a moment and said.
"The training of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights has reached a bottleneck, relay my order to have the task dispatch office assign them support missions."
"Yes."
Green Ghost replied quietly.
"Prioritize everything related to star ore and star drill production, I don’t want to hear any bad news regarding this."
Icaroya added in a somber tone.
"Understood."
Green Ghost replied respectfully.
"You may leave."

Vast Star Sea.
Legendary Level Star Destroyer "Immortal Blade" leads the fleet speeding toward Ceres.
With almost every segment of the journey, numerous transportation ships are visible, and the route is bustling.
Su Mo stood on the viewing deck, gazing at the ships overtaken, slightly sentimental.
"So lively."
"Yes, everyone is striving for development."
Qian Chengxue replied with a smile.
"How’s the Federation’s recent development?"
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue chatted casually.
"Very well, after the war, the Federation has established 18,233 mining sites across various star seas and on Ceres in just a few months, and they’re also building three giant transfer stations simultaneously."
"Impressive?"
Su Mo didn’t expect the Federation to develop so well.
"Actually, the Federation’s development speed is just above average. The wildest development belongs to those countries in the First Birthplace. For example, the Mechanical Empire recently managed to establish the first super particle purification processing plant on Ceres, specializing in producing additives for nuclear bombs and antimatter missiles."
Qian Chengxue and Su Mo chatted idly.
"Fantastic."
Su Mo exclaimed.
"Honestly, I don’t think it’s necessarily a good thing. I’m a bit confused about why Icaroya suddenly let loose the reins, allowing everyone to develop wildly. Isn’t she afraid of losing control? You know, all civilizations bow down to her now because they lack power, not daring to complain. But once their strength surpasses Star Ring City, who knows if they’ll remain obedient."
Tilo joined the discussion, unusually.
Su Mo touched his chin and said to Tilo with some difficulty, "I can’t answer that question. If I could guess Icaroya’s intentions, we wouldn’t need to struggle as we do."
"True, trying to fathom her thoughts is beyond normal comprehension."
Tilo thought for a moment and agreed.
"By the way, how far are we from Ceres?"
Su Mo asked.
"Not far, Gris is correcting the course, we’re about to veer off toward the Absolute Forbidden Zone. Lord Su Mo, have you really made up your mind? Once inside, there’s no chance to regret."
Tilo confirmed once more.
