Chapter 1849: Chapter 568: The Great Retreat (Part 5)

VI-type Fortress Level Chilami·Kagsamo

Inside the vast flesh-walled hall.

Vice Clan Leader Komih, Elder Oshim, Remwaco, and Milk gathered together.

"Lord Komih, what do we do now? Adimo has been captured."

Milk spoke angrily.

Although Adimo is brainless, he has the best relationship with him.

"Let me think."

Komih was also quite agitated.

At this moment, the space beside them suddenly rippled.

Komih and the others were startled, and then the VI-type Star Lord Level Chilami Hirog Clan Leader appeared out of thin air.

"Clan Leader!"

Omshi and the others spoke respectfully.

"Hmm."

The Hirog Clan Leader uttered in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, Komih immediately pleaded guilty to the Hirog Clan Leader.

"Clan Leader, it’s my incompetence. The Federation is too strong; they had backup after backup. Not only did we fail to break through the defense line, but we also suffered heavy losses. Elder Kagsamo was severely injured, and Elder Adimo was captured. I’m willing to accept any punishment."

"I understand. It’s not your fault. The Federation was always strong; they were just hiding their strength!"

The Hirog Clan Leader spoke hoarsely.

"Thank you, Clan Leader."

Komih replied gratefully.

At that moment, the Hirog Clan Leader glanced around with a hoarse voice.

"Where’s Lisi? Didn’t it come?"

"No, I didn’t see it. If it were here, things wouldn’t have been so disastrous."

Komih replied somewhat angrily.

At this moment, a small jellyfish-like Chilami floated in.

Komih raised his left claw, and the jellyfish-like Chilami landed on it.

Komih read the information from it and immediately reported to the Hirog Clan Leader.

"Clan Leader, the Federation is starting to retract their defense line. The Nether Moon Star Defense Line forces are making a large-scale retreat. Should we pursue immediately?"

"No, the Federation is stronger than you think; pushing too hard won’t benefit us. Let others expend their energy first."

The Hirog Clan Leader spoke hoarsely.

"Yes!"

Komih responded respectfully.

At this moment, a wave of icy blue coldness spread in, followed by Vice Clan Leader Irene Liss’s figure emerging from it.

Seeing Irene Liss, Komih angrily questioned her.

"Irene Liss, the war is over, yet you come now!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"So what?"

Irene Liss replied coldly.

"You!"

The Vice Clan Leader Komih grew more annoyed, and if the Hirog Clan Leader weren’t present, he wouldn’t have let it go so easily.

At this moment, the Hirog Clan Leader glanced at Irene Liss and noticed her weakened aura, and asked in confusion.

"Irene Liss, are you injured?"

Komih and the others were taken aback upon hearing the Hirog Clan Leader’s words.

Could Irene Liss possibly be injured?

Even though they disliked Irene Liss, no one doubted her strength.

Even though Komih has now evolved to the Emperor Level, he still wouldn’t underestimate Irene Liss.

"Yes, I encountered the Federation’s Admiral Su Ming on the way and was injured by him."

Irene Liss replied coldly.

In truth, Irene Liss arrived so late because part of her origin power was consumed by Ilyas, forcing her to find a place to recuperate and stabilize her injuries.

"How could it be? How could Su Ming be your opponent? Clan Leader, don’t believe her words."

Komih completely disbelieved Irene Liss’s words.

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you!"

Irene Liss had no intention of explaining further.

"Komih, enough. Irene Liss is indeed injured, but how did you end up losing to the Federation’s Admiral Su Ming?"

The Hirog Clan Leader asked Irene Liss.

Facing the Hirog Clan Leader’s inquiry, Irene Liss suddenly recalled those eyes, and a hint of fear flashed in her cold pupils—a presence even more terrifying than the Hirog Clan Leader.

"Irene Liss?"

The Hirog Clan Leader acutely sensed Irene Liss’s emotional fluctuations and spoke again in a serious tone.

"Nothing, I was just caught off guard by an ambush."

In the end, Irene Liss chose to conceal what she had truly seen.

"Is that so?"

The Hirog Clan Leader had a persistent feeling that something was amiss.

"Yes."

Irene Liss’s emotions returned to normal, and she replied coldly.

"Hmm, be careful in the next battle, and don’t underestimate any human."

Seeing Irene Liss say this, the Hirog Clan Leader didn’t press further.

"Understood."

Irene Liss replied coldly.

Inside the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme Central Control Room.

Su Ming sat in the command chair, repeatedly watching the video of Black Flame Star’s fall, his brows furrowed tightly.

At this moment, Celeste’s figure appeared beside Su Ming.

She looked at Su Ming with a cheerful smile.

"Su Ming, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, I’m reviewing the data on the fall of the Black Flame Star Defense Line."

"What’s there to see?"

"The reason this Black Flame Star Defense Line fell so quickly was because the defense weapons suddenly failed, and the root cause of all this was due to Pamie!"

Su Ming said in a solemn tone.

"Exactly!"

"This Pamie is extremely lethal; mechanical weapons get paralyzed in its presence almost instantly. How do you even fight that?"

"Well, I can’t do anything about it either; during battles, even a brief weapon malfunction could be fatal. Without Pamie, the Federation might stand a chance against the Mechanical Clan, but with that around, it’s hopeless."

Celeste replied with a troubled expression.

"Isn’t there any way to counter it?"

"What can be done? Human technology has only developed for so long, how could it possibly match up to that?"

"Then how did we deal with it during previous expeditions? Back then, we didn’t even have Biological Mechas."

Su Ming inquired.

"Well, nothing like this happened back then because we had the help of a mechanical friend who restrained Pamie."

Celeste explained to Su Ming.

"I see."

"So the best solution is to get that mechanical friend’s help."

"The problem is, we can’t get in touch; both the Dragon White President and I have tried, but there was no response."

Su Ming said helplessly.

"Just because it doesn’t respond to you doesn’t mean it won’t respond to me! I am the chosen one, it will definitely respond to me."

Celeste placed her hands on her hips confidently.

"Go, go, go...."

Su Ming’s mouth twitched slightly, and he waved his hand dismissively.

"Come on, you should trust me a bit. Let me give it a try later, okay?"

Celeste said to Su Ming.

"We’ll see."

Su Ming sighed and replied.
