Chapter 2160 - 1662: Receiving Orders (First Update)

Because at the critical moment, Su Mo expressed his attitude and stance, willing to abandon his noble status to assist her in completing the mission.

In a sense, they could be considered like-minded comrades.

Icaroya walked to Su Mo’s side, reached out, and helped Su Mo up, speaking to him.

"There is an urgent matter I need you to handle. It’s very dangerous. However, I believe in you. You should be able to do it."

"Lord Icaroya, please go ahead."

Su Mo stood up and responded calmly.

"What I want you to do is go to the Immortal Empire’s operation zone, suppress the Immortal Empire’s rebellion, rescue the imprisoned Krisia, and reclaim and relocate the Star Drill equipment!"

Icaroya briefly explained the situation.

Upon hearing Icaroya’s words, Su Mo’s eyes showed a trace of surprise. He hadn’t expected the Immortal Empire to have rebelled, with Krisia imprisoned.

He immediately said, "No problem, leave it to me."

"The Immortal Empire is not as simple as it looks on the surface. Do not underestimate it. Let me tell you the truth: the Immortal Empire is actually the internal enemy planted in Star Ring City by the Eternal Sleep Clan. Everyone in the Immortal Empire is newly created, referred to as New Humans or the New Eternal Sleep Clan. And the real identity of Emperor Kilmock of the Immortal Empire is the second vice clan leader of the Eternal Sleep Clan, extremely cunning and constantly navigating between Star Ring City and the Eternal Sleep Clan. Although its strength has never been publicly demonstrated, if I am not mistaken, it should be very formidable, probably not much weaker than the Star Lord Level, Patrick."

Icaroya directly revealed the inside story to Su Mo.

Hearing this, Su Mo’s eyelids subtly twitched; he suspected there was a problem with the Immortal Empire, but not to the extent that the whole structure was compromised. This is not a trivial matter, although he was puzzled about one thing and asked.

"Lord Icaroya, since you knew the entire nation of the Immortal Empire had issues, why didn’t you deal with it earlier?"

"That’s because I need the Immortal Empire to exist to deliberately spread false information for them to report back and, at the same time, to obtain information about the Eternal Sleep Clan from inside the Immortal Empire. Most importantly, I promised Krisia to give their people a chance."

Icaroya calmly explained.

"I understand. I will handle it well."

Su Mo readily assured.

"Very good. Additionally, I have prepared an ally from the Immortal Empire for you. He will guide you to the Immortal Empire’s camp and provide you with all the necessary information."

Icaroya was very satisfied with Su Mo’s response.

"Alright."

Su Mo felt quite pleased with the idea of having an ally.

Icaroya raised her electronic bracelet, quickly inputted a string of information, and sent it.

Before long, a knock sounded on the office door again.

"Come in!"

Icaroya said indifferently.

At that moment, Buseray walked in with great enthusiasm.

Su Mo saw Buseray enter, his expression turning slightly strange as he instinctively said,

"It’s you?"

He didn’t expect Icaroya meant this guy when she mentioned someone to help.

Seeing Su Mo, Buseray’s face turned grim, and he said irritably.

"Su Mo!"

Icaroya spoke calmly.

"Buseray, Su Mo will handle the matter concerning Krisia, you just coordinate with him."

"Him? That’s impossible! I’m not underestimating him, but Emperor Kilmock is no pushover."

Buseray looked at Su Mo with a questioning glance, knowing full well Su Mo’s strength, though still deemed it insufficient.

Ideally, Buseray preferred for Icaroya to go personally; that would ensure success.

After all, Icaroya’s demonstrated strength was terrifyingly powerful. Not to mention Emperor Kilmock, even if all the vice clan leaders of the Eternal Sleep Clan came together, they might not match up to Icaroya.

"Emperor Kilmock isn’t a pushover, and neither am I! Are you questioning my strength? The last time we fought, you couldn’t even last a few minutes."

Su Mo smiled as he looked at Buseray and said.

"Hmph!"

Buseray’s face twitched in anger at Su Mo’s words but he didn’t explode, just let out a cold "Hmph."

Icaroya said expressionlessly.

"Alright, it’s settled. Go and coordinate."

"Let’s go!"

Su Mo briskly called out to Buseray and headed towards the door.

Buseray was reluctantly compliant but followed along.

The two of them walked down the corridor without a word, a tense atmosphere hanging between them.

With a calm expression, Su Mo turned to Buseray.

"I know you don’t like me, but our goal is the same now: to rescue Krisia. Let’s put aside our differences and cooperate well until the mission is complete."

"Alright, for Krisia’s sake, I’ll cooperate with you, but if you fail to rescue her, don’t blame me if I turn on you."

Buseray spoke in a low voice.

"Don’t worry."

Su Mo replied calmly.

...

Inside the Black Light Command Room.

Sun Duoxiang yawned, turning to Qian Chengxue.

"Senior, why is the boss taking so long? I hope he hasn’t forgotten about us; we’re still in the outskirts."

"He wouldn’t, just wait patiently."

"Alright then."

Sun Duoxiang yawned again.

At that moment, Long Ke’s eyes lit up and he reported, "They’re back; I see Mad Eye Rhenhok, but there’s also a Mecha accompanying the boss."

"Let me see."

Qian Chengxue was very curious.

Through the optical imaging device, they saw Mad Eye Rhenhok and the Kui Barbarian Mecha rapidly flying over.

"That Mecha looks really familiar, I remember now, it’s the one piloted by Buseray of the Immortal Empire. When the boss was competing in the Royal Order, he fought against it! I bet heavily at that time, why would the boss be with him now?"

Sun Duoxiang quickly recognized it.

"No idea, open the entry port."

Qian Chengxue immediately ordered.

"Yes!"

Long Ke quickly responded.

Shortly after, Su Mo brought Buseray onto the Black Light, and the two headed towards the command room.

Buseray remained silent, continuously observing the interior of the Black Light, his expression shifting constantly, his mind in turmoil.

He didn’t recognize this ship and didn’t know its capabilities, but he had never seen such an advanced Star Destroyer.

Out of pride, he wouldn’t ask Su Mo about it, no matter how curious he was.

Su Mo noticed the change in Buseray’s expression, but paid it no mind, simply quickening his pace towards the command room with Buseray.

Soon, the two of them entered the command room.

"Su Mo, you’re back, how did it go? Was it smooth?"

Qian Chengxue asked softly.

"It went smoothly, but there’s an important operational mission."

Su Mo went straight to the point.
