Ding~
Accompanied by the sound of the doorbell, a series of soft footsteps echoed from inside, followed by a cautious voice.
“Who is it?”
“We are from Imperial Court Academy, looking for Mr.
Mikos.”
Su Ming responded directly.
The tightly shut door swung open, revealing a young man of short stature, slender build, with freckles on his face and pale skin.
“You’ve finally come, come in quickly!”
Mikos said, visibly agitated.
Su Ming and his companions walked into the room, and Mikos hurriedly closed the door behind them.
Su Ming took a look around the room; it was somewhat messy, with garbage bins brimming, indicating it hadn’t been cleaned for some time.
It was apparent from this that Mikos had probably been cooped up in the room for a while, daring not to go out.
“Mr.
Mikos, let me introduce myself; my name is Su Ming.
Here is the mission letter!”
Su Ming pulled out the mission letter and handed it to Mikos.
Mikos took it and examined it carefully, then quickly reached out to shake Su Ming’s hand, saying,
“I have been desperately waiting for you, it really was killing me.”
“Mr.
Mikos, please don’t rush, take your time and tell us.
What exactly happened, and what do you want us to do?”
Su Ming asked calmly.
“My name is Mikos, and I’m a third-year student in the Power Systems department at Imperial Court Academy.
I was following a senior in the fourth year, Dr.
Kaylo, in a secret laboratory within Awahog Kingdom · Kamorden Base City, researching new materials for the power devices of Fourth Generation Mecha.”
Mikos took a deep breath and spoke to Su Ming and the others.
“And then?”
Su Ming asked calmly.
“Later, we were mysteriously attacked by unidentified people.
They ransacked the entire laboratory, took those new materials, and the newly developed power devices for Fourth Generation Mecha, and they also kidnapped Dr.
Kaylo!
At the time of the incident, I happened to be out on an errand and thus escaped the disaster.
But I didn’t dare to stay in that kingdom, so I fled here.”
Mikos roughly explained.
“Awahog Kingdom?
That neutral country is very close to the front-line battlefield, and I’ve heard that it has always been unstable internally.
How did you come to build a laboratory there?”
Allu asked, puzzled.
“The laboratory was established by Imperial Court Academy, and the reason to build it there is because the new materials are produced there.
Of course, it’s not just Imperial Court Academy; the Federation and some major players have set up there as well.”
Mikos explained to Allu.
“So what do you need us to do now?”
Su Ming asked, his brow furrowed.
“You need to find a way to rescue Dr.
Kaylo and retrieve that batch of new materials and the new Fourth Generation Mecha power devices.”
Mikos straight away made a series of demands.
Upon hearing Mikos’ words, the three Ankaga members furrowed their brows even tighter; this mission was no simple task.
Su Ming asked with a grave expression.
“Mikos, do you have any idea who might be behind this, or do you have any clues?”
“I don’t know who did it, because my only responsibility at that laboratory was to assist with the research, I didn’t get involved with anything else.
However, after the incident, I sought help from a group of five sophomores.
They went into Kamorden Base City to investigate, and as a result, two members of the team went missing, so I immediately asked the academy for assistance.”
Mikos shared even more unsettling news.
“Missing?
How did they go missing?
What’s the situation in Kamorden Base City now?”
Su Ming asked in a deep voice.
“I’m not quite sure how they went missing, but I seem to have heard that the city has somehow lost control.”
Mikos said, his expression showing excitement.
Su Ming took a deep breath and asked,
“I understand.
Mr.
Mikos, are you still able to contact the remaining three people?”
“I can’t reach them with the communication device.
You might not know, but the information networks in the neutral countries are particularly backward; it’s very difficult to send a message to the Federation.
However, I know where they are staying within Kamorden Base City, so I can find them.”
“It looks like we’ll have to make a trip there.”
Su Ming said darkly.
“I will go with you!”
Mikos said firmly.
“You want to come with us?
Isn’t that too risky?
Why don’t you wait here?”
Su Ming wasn’t very keen on having Mikos come along; it was quite clear this guy was not cut out for combat.
“No, you have to take me with you!”
Mikos insisted strongly.
“Fine then!”
Seeing Mikos so resolute, Su Ming pondered for a moment and then agreed.
“So what do we do next, how shall we head to Awahog Kingdom?
Hire a ship?”
Ankaga asked with a hint of a headache, feeling another big expense was imminent.
At this moment, Mikos shook his head and said,
“Awahog Kingdom is in such turmoil right now, there are no ships going there.
Only vessels from the Federation Military Department are still flying to that place.”
“Are you suggesting we ask the military for help?”
Su Ming asked, aware of the complications.
“Yes.”
“So where do we find the Federation Military Department?”
“The Federation Military Department has an office in the Neutral Country of Tarsiji, I’ll take you there.”
Mikos told Su Ming and the others.
“Let’s not delay, we should head out immediately!”
Su Ming didn’t waste any words.
At dusk, Su Ming and his companions arrived at the Xiangfeng Street in the west of the city.
They saw from afar a metal building with the shape of a cup, towering five hundred meters high, with the Federation flag standing prominently in front of it.
“That’s the place!”
Mikos led Su Ming and the others towards it.
