In an instant, everyone fervently shouted.
"Victory to the Federation!!!"
Surrounded by the shouting crowd, Su Mo felt the atmosphere infect him, his emotions swelling with excitement.
Just then, their phones vibrated inside their pockets.
They each took out their phones, each receiving different combat information.
Xiao Wen spoke up, "We’ve been conscripted, we will follow the Third Legion into battle."
"I got a message too, but mine says something different, it seems to imply that we can move freely, freely participate in the combat."
Sun Duoxiang said, looking at his message.
Su Mo silently glanced at his message and then put away his phone, he had been conscripted as expected, though the specific combat details had not yet been given.
However, the assembly time was provided, they needed to head to Area G4 (official members) by eight o’clock tomorrow morning.
"It’s over, I’ve been conscripted too."
Mo Baoke said with a gloomy face, looking like he was doomed.
"Can’t you be a bit more present? As a combatant from the GT department, do you think you can escape?"
Chen Shan said with a look of disdain.
"Our reserve team ranks so far back, normally, shouldn’t they keep us behind to guard the Black Brilliance?"
Mo Baoke still harbored some unrealistic hope.
"Please, did you not listen to the broadcast carefully? When necessary, the Black Brilliance itself will act as a battleship and engage in combat, so what’s there to guard?"
Chen Shan replied helplessly.
"Boss, did you receive any combat information?"
Sun Duoxiang asked curiously.
"Definitely, but the specific combat details haven’t been released yet. But I guess it will be soon. Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s all get together tonight."
Su Mo proposed after pondering for a moment, as even a fool could see that this operation was more likely to go badly than well.
No one knew if they would all come back in one piece after this battle, so Su Mo thought it best they all have a meal together.
"Then that’s settled, I’ll find us a place."
Su Mo said, nodding his head.
----------------------------------------
In an office within Area K.
Mai Han looked at the combat orders issued, his expression somewhat distorted.
Under the orders for everyone to participate in battle, unfortunately, he too had been conscripted, meaning he also had to face the insect swarm.
On the battlefield, the enemy wouldn’t care who you were.
Moreover, from the information he got, this time the strength of the insect swarm was extraordinarily formidable, including many Type-IV insects.
With his abilities, if he encountered them, he was almost certainly doomed.
But the problem was he had no way to refuse the conscription order, otherwise, it would draw attention from those above.
He had totally miscalculated; he never imagined that the previous announcement of Black Brilliance’s random voyages was just a ruse, the real intent was to attack the insect swarm.
Mai Han felt somewhat stuck between a rock and a hard place.
At night, in a modest restaurant’s private room in the Central District.
Su Mo, Qian Chengxue, Mo Baoke, Chen Shan, Xiao Wen, and others were all seated together.
Since they might go into battle tomorrow, all the restaurants were packed today, nearly impossible to book a table.
It was only because Su Mo acted quickly that he was able to secure a spot at this mediocre restaurant.
Su Mo took a case of beer and placed it on the table, saying to everyone: "We might go into battle tomorrow, so let’s not drink too much tonight, just a little to enjoy ourselves will do."
Xiao Wen nodded in agreement.
Everyone then opened their bottles of beer.
Qian Chengxue also picked up a bottle of beer, and upon seeing this, Su Mo quietly advised.
"You don’t drink, maybe try something else?"
"It’s fine, it’s rare to be this happy today."
Qian Chengxue smiled in response.
"Alright, just drink less then."
Su Mo replied caringly.
Qian Chengxue responded softly.
Then Chen Shan took the lead and raised his glass, addressing everyone: "We’re all going to the battlefield tomorrow, and who knows what the future holds? Let’s not think about it too much. Let’s drink this together, it won’t be in vain that we’ve met each other."
Su Mo also raised his glass.
Everyone clinked their glasses together and downed their drinks in one gulp.
At that moment, Mo Baoke still cheekily said.
"Don’t talk like it’s so tragic, we still have Lord Su Mo, right? Lord Su Mo will definitely look after us on the battlefield, he wouldn’t just stand by and watch us die, we’ll definitely be alright."
Su Mo patted Mo Baoke on the shoulder and said: "You’re right, I would definitely help if I saw it. But you better pray you don’t see me on the battlefield."
Mo Baoke looked puzzled.
"Are you kidding? Su Mo would definitely be fighting in the front lines against advanced insects, you want to be cannon fodder?"
Chen Shan said laughing.
"Tsk, tsk, forget I said anything, don’t take a child’s talk seriously..."
Mo Baoke hurriedly comforted himself.
Sun Duoxiang and others saw this and laughed out loud.
Hours later, the food on the table had been completely consumed, surrounded by empty beer bottles.
Although they intentionally held back and didn’t drink much, their spirits were high, and everyone drank a bit more than intended.
After exchanging warm farewells, they gradually left the place.
"Boss, we’re heading out."
"Be careful on your way back, and rest well after you get home." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NovєlFіre.net
Su Mo waved goodbye to Xiao Wen and the others.
Soon, only Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were left at the scene.
Su Mo looked at Qian Chengxue, her fair face flushing and her eyes slightly dazed, as if she had drunk a bit too much.
"I’m fine, don’t worry, walk with me, Su Mo."
