Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 737 - 374 Grand Ceremony (5-in-1)_5

"Yeah! Just a moment, I’ll change my clothes."

Su Ming then picked up the clothes from the bedside and walked towards the bathroom.

Not long after, Su Ming came out of the bathroom, having changed his clothes. He called out to Little Grey lying on the hospital bed.

"Little Grey, let’s go."

Little Grey swiftly jumped onto Su Ming’s shoulder.

Su Ming patted its head, then he and Lin Chuyu left the ward together.

When the three of them reached the hospital entrance, they bumped directly into Tiger.

"Tiger?"

Su Ming was slightly stunned. How did this guy get here?

At this moment, Tiger directly took a bunch of flowers and walked over.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming’s head began to hurt.

Lin Chuyu’s expression immediately turned cold, while An Ruoxue said helplessly.

"Come on, not again?"

"Don’t misunderstand, these flowers are for Su Ming."

Tiger handed the flowers directly to Su Ming.

"Huh? For me?"

Su Ming was very surprised, the flowers were actually for him.

"Yeah, congratulations on being discharged."

Tiger handed the flowers to Su Ming.

"Thank you."

Su Ming accepted the flowers somewhat dazedly and replied.

"But don’t get too happy too soon, I did lose the last match, and I acknowledge you’re strong. But I will not give up on Chuyu, wait for it, I will train hard and challenge you again."

Tiger declared confidently.

"Alright, I’ll be waiting."

Su Ming smiled faintly and replied.

Although this guy is pretty annoying, at least he’s better than those deceitful and jealous ones.

"I’m off!"

Tiger didn’t stay long and directly turned to leave.

Su Ming chuckled, turned to Lin Chuyu and the others, and said.

"Let’s go too!"

"Alright!"

Lin Chuyu and the others nodded slightly in agreement.

...

The next morning.

Su Ming arrived at the Cosmic Army Headquarters.

The entire headquarters was bustling with hurried officers, and occasionally shouts could be heard.

"Hurry up!"

...

In the open area, there were officers gathering everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming was also taken aback, quickly blocking a major’s path.

The major, seeing Su Ming, was surprised, and immediately saluted him.

"General!"

"What’s going on?"

"I don’t know what’s going on, we just received the assembly notice."

"Got it, carry on."

Su Ming replied, furrowing his brow.

"Yes!"

The major hurriedly left.

Su Ming immediately rushed to the briefing room; this situation seemed abnormal.

Soon, Su Ming arrived in the briefing room.

There, Su Yuan and others were all sitting upright, with Admiral Taite standing solemnly on the podium.

Upon entering, Su Ming immediately saluted Admiral Taite and shouted.

"Reporting, General!"

"Su Ming, are you all well? Don’t you need a few more days of rest?"

Admiral Taite was also surprised to see Su Ming and asked with concern.

"I’m fine, General!"

Su Ming nodded in response.

"Great, let’s all clap and welcome Su Ming back to the team."

Hearing this, Su Yuan and the others applauded warmly.

"Thank you."

Su Ming expressed his gratitude to everyone and then sat down beside Su Yuan.

At this time, Admiral Taite spoke solemnly.

"Alright, I have an important announcement to make now."

Su Ming and the others all turned to Admiral Taite, having noticed something unusual since the morning.

"Tomorrow is Shabask’s centennial celebration. At that time, Commander Alekde and Vice City Lord Okens will attend as envoys of the Federation, and General Gabres and General Sigurd, along with us, will accompany them!"

Admiral Taite said seriously to everyone.

"General, isn’t this a good thing?"

Su Yuan and the others asked, puzzled.

"A good thing, but it’s not that simple."

Admiral Taite replied in a deep voice.

"Why?"

Su Ming and the others asked, confused.

"It’s called the centennial celebration because the Luminescent Treaty is expiring. The so-called Luminescent Treaty is a garrison agreement signed by the Federation’s four powers with the Shabask Kingdom, in which the Shabask Kingdom pays a hefty protection fee to these four powers. Therefore, tomorrow the envoy teams from the Dark Star Empire, Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, and Saint Joex Star will also attend."

Admiral Taite explained seriously.

"General, if the treaty is expiring, can’t it just be renewed?"

Su Yuan hesitated and asked. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"It’s not that simple; it involves the division of interests. If the talks go well, it’s a centennial celebration; if not, it’s flipping the table."

Admiral Taite replied gravely.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming and the others’ expressions changed slightly; Admiral Taite’s implication was clear.

If the interests are not agreed upon, then it’s war.

This war might not simply involve the Shabask Kingdom but potentially all forces. The situation would be extremely serious.

"General, what’s the probability that the agreement won’t be reached?"

Elu asked gravely.

"Very high, because Shabask’s sovereign, Shatake Sovereign, is in very poor health, and rumors say he might not make it. One of the purposes of this celebration is to assess Shatake Sovereign’s health. If Shatake Sovereign indeed can’t continue, then the Shabask Kingdom might fall into civil strife, and the new successor may not continue the original agreement."

Admiral Taite said with much concern.

"Then we’re not just simply accompanying, are we?"

Elu immediately asked.

"Of course, it’s not just a simple accompaniment. At that time, the Military Department will transport your mechas there, protected by the Special Warfare Department’s personnel. If a coup occurs, everyone must be prepared to fight. But don’t worry, the Cosmic Army Headquarters will have troops on standby outside the World Eye, ready for action. Simultaneously, the troops from the Three Forbidden Zones’ defense line will enter level-one battle readiness, prepared to return at a moment’s notice."
