Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1386 - 1079: Rebuffed (Part 2)

"What are you going to do next?"

The Fake Owner, Swallower asked in a deep voice.

"There’s something important that I need to do quickly."

Su Mo pondered for a while, then walked towards the distance.

Before long, Su Mo found a squad from Thunder Base on patrol.

He stopped them with a big smile.

"Hello, gentlemen."

"What’s the matter?"

The squad leader asked indifferently.

"Uh, can I ask you something? Which area is the big support troop sent by Star Ring City parked in?"

Su Mo asked hastily.

The soldiers glanced at each other and then replied perfunctorily.

"Don’t know, don’t obstruct our patrol."

Before Su Mo could speak, they continued on their way.

Su Mo looked helpless and could only stop others.

Hours later, Su Mo was frustrated; he had asked several dozen groups of people, and none took him seriously.

They all just gave a few perfunctory remarks and left.

He also tried to apply to see some higher-ranking officials at Thunder Base, but the replies were either that they were unavailable or unwilling to meet.

He was basically ignored, repeatedly facing setbacks. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

He had no way to force his way through to find those higher-ranking officers. The message might not be obtained, and he could offend someone instead.

"These people are too difficult, and everyone is avoiding me like the Plague God."

Su Mo couldn’t help but complain.

The Fake Owner, Swallower replied in a deep voice: "Nothing strange about that."

"Can you think of a way? Apart from prying information from them, is there any other way to find the main troop?"

Su Mo said, troubled.

"No way, I’ll be honest with you, Ceres has been spinning, and there is strong interference, so all scanning and positioning devices can’t be used. Even with a specific location, it’s difficult to find. Not to mention your situation where you know nothing; if you try to find it by force, it’s like a headless fly, all you can do is rely on luck."

The Fake Owner, Swallower stated clearly.

"Ah, it’s headache-inducing, forget it, I’ll sleep on it and think of a solution after waking up."

Su Mo said, somewhat fatigued.

"Mm."

The Fake Owner, Swallower replied in a deep voice.

...

The next day, Su Mo lay in bed resting.

Knock knock~

A knock on the door sounded.

Su Mo woke up and called out.

"Come in."

Cre~ak

The door was pushed open, and Wang Hai came in, speaking to Su Mo.

"How was your rest?"

"Not bad."

Su Mo stretched lazily and replied.

"It’s about noon; freshen up. Lord Spade has arranged a banquet especially for you."

Wang Hai said in a cheerful mood.

"Uh, isn’t that a bit much?"

Su Mo was also a little overwhelmed.

"It’s necessary. Last time, you delivered resources to us but didn’t have time for us to host you. This time, if you hadn’t arrived in time, we’d be in real danger. Plus, it’s been quite a while since we’ve gathered; might as well take the chance, who knows if there’ll be another opportunity."

Wang Hai sounded a bit sentimental towards the end.

Su Mo stood up and patted Wang Hai’s shoulder, saying: "Don’t overthink it, everything will only get better; let’s not dwell on it. I’ll go freshen up."

"Alright."

Wang Hai nodded.

Shortly afterward, Su Mo followed Wang Hai to a small restaurant.

Here, a long table was set with dishes.

They weren’t fancy foods but rather canned foods heated up, like braised pork, marinated steaks, canned fruits.....

Don’t be fooled by how they seem cheap; most people can’t even eat these.

Ordinary soldiers are eating nutrition bars.

Rose, Karina, and others warmly greeted Su Mo and Wang Hai as they entered.

"Su Mo, you’re here!"

"Yes, just a casual meal is fine, no need to go overboard."

Su Mo replied in a particularly good mood.

"No way, we have to drink well today; don’t leave until we’re drunk."

Spade said with a smile.

"Sure, absolutely."

Su Mo didn’t refuse.

So they took their seats, and at this moment, Rose noticed something and asked with curiosity: "Su Mo, the badge on your uniform looks like a Major General insignia. Are you re-enlisted?"

Upon Rose’s words, everyone present turned to look, including Spade, who was momentarily stunned, taking a closer look.

"Haha, yes! Re-enlisted. Rose, your eyesight is still sharp."

Su Mo scratched his head and replied.

Spade then slammed the table, somewhat angrily saying: "Nonsense, who gave you the Major General rank; this is messing around."

Everyone present was stunned.

Su Mo was also bewildered and asked in confusion: "Lord Spade? What’s wrong?"

"With your talent, getting a General rank is quite normal; why only Major General? Is someone suppressing you? When you retired, you were an Admiral, at least you should retain an Admiral rank."

Spade said, unusually irritated.

"Oh! Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I requested it myself, a Major General is fine. I actually spent a lot of effort to make President of Alles agree."

Su Mo quickly explained to avoid putting President of Alles in a bad light.

Upon hearing this, Spade’s expression softened.

"Ah, you’re truly mischievous. Fine, let’s not talk about this; let’s all have a toast to welcome Su Mo."

"Alright! Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

Clink~

Everyone then drank it in one go.

More than an hour later, Su Mo and the others sat in their chairs, chatting happily.

Wang Hai and the others were sharing their experiences over the years.

Su Mo explained in detail the changes in the Federation and the recent major events in Star Ring City.

Everyone was shocked to learn about the Mother Star’s attack and deeply concerned. When hearing about the imminent establishment of the Star Gate in Star Ring City, they were also thrilled.

Once the Star Gate opens, the distance to the Mother Star will be significantly reduced. Though they might not have the resources to initiate it, it doesn’t mean they can’t hitch a ride.

"All these years, thank you for your dedication to the Federation."

Spade said, full of emotion to Su Mo.

"Lord Spade, you’re too kind. It’s my duty to contribute my modest efforts as a member of the Federation. By the way, I have something to ask you."

Su Mo suddenly remembered.

"Go ahead."

Spade nodded slightly.

"The support troops from Star Ring City should have reached Ceres by now, but I don’t know which supply base they’ve gone to. Do you know about it?"

Su Mo hurriedly inquired.
