Chapter 736: Chapter 374: Grand Ceremony (Five in One)_4
“Well done.”
“It’s what I should do.”
Yakes replied humbly.
At this moment, Miu Ya also complimented.
“My lord is truly wise to devise such a brilliant plan. No one would have thought that you would use such a clumsy method to execute the two sons of the Eldest Prince.”
Merit replied casually while stitching.
“Sometimes, clumsy methods can better confuse opponents and mislead their judgment.”
“The lord is right.”
Yakes and Miu Ya responded respectfully.
“But speaking of which, whether my stupid elder brother falls for it or not doesn’t really concern me. What I truly care about is the Federation. Recently, under the guise of attending our centennial celebration, they’ve transported a large amount of weaponry here in secret. What are they planning?”
Merit spoke with a gloomy look.
“The people of the Federation are a bunch of hypocrites. Transporting so many weapons here at this time certainly doesn’t bode well.”
Rosa replied slowly.
“Rosa, hasn’t your Heavenly Revelation Divine Country always claimed to be more powerful than the Federation? Now the Federation is transporting weapons here, where are your forces? If you continue to do nothing, I won’t hesitate to find another partner.”
Merit said with a smile.
After listening to Merit’s words, Rosa’s expression beneath her mask turned extremely unpleasant. Everyone knew the main forces of the Federation were stationed here and at the Forbidden Zone Defense Line.
The Heavenly Revelation Divine Country wouldn’t dare to blatantly send forces here.
Isn’t this a blatant provocation to the Federation? A misjudgment could lead to a conflict.
However, she couldn’t explain this to Merit.
Rosa’s expression fluctuated for a moment, then she said.
“Rest assured, Lord Merit, our Heavenly Revelation Divine Country’s forces are at the edge of the Bright Star Sea. They can arrive whenever needed, and we have stationed a large number of troops here. Everything is within control.”
“It better be as you say.”
Merit stopped his needlework, placed the needle on a nearby tray, then picked up a silk cloth to wipe the blood off the young woman’s back.
A power-symbolizing eye emerged.

———————————-
Wormhole Space-Time·Federation Defense Line.
A giant spiral-shaped Planet Fortress named Black Spiral, entirely covered with black gun barrels, and extending from its center a spike-like Main Cannon.
Currently in the pungent mechanical storage compartment.
An elderly man with dark skin, short and thin body, full head of white hair, occasionally coughing, was packing tools into a repair box.
At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him.
The old man’s hand, packing tools, immediately stiffened. Then he slowly stood up and turned to look behind him.
A middle-aged man wearing a Federation Captain’s uniform, with a protruding belly and a mole at the corner of his eye, stood before him.
The middle-aged man took an inconspicuous mechanical axle ring from his pocket and handed it to the old man, saying,
“During maintenance, replace the worn parts of the No. 4 Curvature Interference Device with this axle ring. Don’t worry, the axle ring is specially made; if something goes wrong, the Federation’s technicians won’t trace it back to you. They’ll just think it’s an accident, not involving you.”
After listening to the logistics officer’s words, the old man didn’t reach out to take it. He simply fell into deeper silence.
The logistics officer wasn’t angry, but instead smiled and said,
“Finish this task, and you can see your grandson. Under our care, he’s doing very well.”
The old man’s aged face slightly shifted at the officer’s words.
“Don’t believe? I’ll let you listen to a recording.”
The officer raised his wrist, tapped it.
“Grandpa, what are you doing? When will you come home? We miss you very much….”
A boy’s voice sounded from the wristband.
After hearing it, the old man’s cloudy eyes turned slightly red.
The officer turned off the recording, smiling, said,
“If you cooperate, I assure you he will continue to live well. But if you don’t, I can’t promise anything.”
“I understand.”
The old man shakily reached out to take the part, speaking in a hoarse voice.
“That’s more like it!”
The officer beamed a bright smile.

Two days later.
At dusk.
In a high-end ward, Su Ming was pressing his hands on the ground, doing push-ups.
“700, 701….”
After these days of recuperation, Su Ming felt his body had mostly recovered. Although there was still a bit of discomfort, it was mostly negligible.
At this time, Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue walked in. An Ruoxue smiled and said,
“Whoa, so disciplined, really embodies that saying, not to fear encountering geniuses, but fear geniuses working harder than you! Is it okay to be so intense? How should we, these ordinary people, survive?”
“Ruoxue, could you please speak properly? Every time you talk, it feels so awkward.”
Su Ming stood up from the ground, replying helplessly.
“Sigh, I don’t want to either, but thanks to you, Admiral Sanida has been training us like crazy lately, and all our leave was canceled.”
Ruoxue looked at Su Ming with a hint of complaint.
“Ahem, sorry.”
Su Ming replied awkwardly.
“Su Ming, don’t listen to Ruoxue’s nonsense. It has nothing to do with you. Strengthening training is a good thing. But is it okay for you to do such intense exercises given your condition?”
Lin Chuyu smiled, saying to Su Ming.
“I’m fine, I’ve almost fully recovered, ready to be discharged.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“So soon?”
Lin Chuyu was also incredulous upon hearing Su Ming could be discharged.
