124: Chapter 124 Secret Order

[Human Federation Front Line 2.]

[Unlike the construction of vast star tracks on Front Line 1 or the infinite traversal within the subspace of Front Line 3, most of the star regions of Front Line 2 are filled with cosmic black holes and various fractured spaces. The Spirit Tree Race has filled these black holes and fractured spaces with a large number of miniature fortresses, and with the help of the Giant Rock Race, this has greatly hindered the advance of the Human Federation army.]

[The war has been going on for forty years, and even with the Human Federation's massive spiritual energy machinery running at full capacity, there is no way to achieve a significant Breakthrough.]

[The Human Federation army has had to spread layers upon layers of temporary defensive Formations beneath the starry sky.]

[The entire shattered Star Domain is tightly locked by floating Formation chains manually constructed by the Human Race. Countless modular Formation platforms, mobile shield base stations, and floating spiritual energy turrets are densely rooted between the fissures of the Void Realm, connected to form an artificial defensive line spanning several light-years.]

[By now, you have been at the Second Front Line for five years.]

["Get down, get down!!!" the officer nearby shouted.]

[Dark red light waves appeared in the sky, followed by countless tiny light yellow missiles launched from within. This is the Sky Strike technology of the Giant Rock Race; they attack you once every month.]

[You shifted your position and walked to the side, holding a bottle of light blue paste-like food. You don't know what it is, only that it is edible.]

[This is also the only thing in this godforsaken place that can replenish the Spiritual Qi in your body.]

[Your rank is still just a corporal. The fighting on the second line is not what you imagined, and there is nowhere for you to display your talents.]

[In this godforsaken place, the only thing to do is to eat this blue paste properly and not let yourself die.]

[And then repair those damned spiritual energy devices.]

[The Human Federation only issued an offensive order once, and you pushed the front line back by one light-year at the cost of losing 500,000 warships.]

[At that time, the small black hole dropped by the Collapsing Star Flare Cannon was not far from you. Fortunately, the army's retreat order had already been issued, and the warship you were on had already activated its curvature System, but those ships that were a bit slower were not so lucky.]

[They were eaten by the space collapse, leaving not even a scrap behind.]

[Every three million ships formed a massive fleet, and the guy leading your fleet at the time was named Li Xian.]

[I heard he was a confidant of the Human Emperor and graduated first in his class from the Royal Officer Academy, but in your eyes, he was just an idiot.]

[In the end, he even abandoned an entire fleet and fled on his own.]

[The spiritual energy cannons outside are still firing.]

[The Giant Rock Race uses non-targeted area attacks; their accuracy is very low. Of course, it's also possible they never intended to use this thing to kill people, but rather to destroy the Human Federation's defensive fortifications.]

[The Human Federation's defensive Formations are very solid; at least so far, no one has been killed by this kind of attack.]

["There is a secret order here that needs to be delivered. Who wants to go!"]

[A Second Lieutenant walked over and glanced at you all.]

[You were eating the food in your bowl, which was likely made of spiritual energy powder. Besides activating the spiritual vitality of those who reached Mahayana through special means, it also served the major purpose of replenishing the spiritual power within a Cultivator.]

[Although the Human Federation initially planned to activate Spirit Gathering Space Formations to directly fill this frontline star space with Spiritual Qi, they canceled the plan because the Human Federation warships could not continue to advance and due to the enormous costs.]

[In this place where there is not a trace of Spiritual Qi, the stuff in your bowl—let's just call it rice—is your only way to replenish your spiritual power, but the downside is that it has no taste.]

[However, the few people nearby were devouring it heartily, forming a sharp contrast with your situation of finding it difficult to swallow.]

[They looked at the Second Lieutenant, but no one answered.]

[In the current situation, staying inside the defensive fortification is safe, but if you go out, it's hard to say.]

[The Giant Rock Race has abundant resources, and their spiritual energy industry is relatively well-developed; this wave of spiritual energy shells shouldn't stop for another five or six days.]

[The Second Lieutenant glanced at you. You swallowed a mouthful of the stuff in your mouth and lowered your head to continue shoveling rice.]

[The Second Lieutenant didn't stay in your small fortification any longer and moved along the small connecting shields to other small fortifications.]

[The soldiers nearby watched the Second Lieutenant leave and began to discuss.]

["I heard that was to be sent to Fleet 25220."]

["Isn't that the fleet that was rumored to have been ambushed by the Spirit Tree Race's Star Hub Spiritual Magnetic Main Cannon?"]

["I heard that too, the entire fleet was scattered."]

["That was the case originally, but I heard there was a female soldier inside who stabilized the whole situation and reintegrated the entire fleet."]

[The man sighed as he spoke: "It counts for something that the Human Federation government still has a conscience and hasn't abandoned them. If I'm not mistaken, that secret order should be a supply from some micro-space of the Human Federation. I imagine that fleet must be at the point of running out of ammunition and food by now."]

["Heh, only the Human Federation government acts human; I think the Human Emperor..."]

[A person nearby quickly covered his mouth: "You can't say that, you can't say that."]

[The man looked resentful and glanced over: "Lin Heng, you seem to be from the Galaxy Spiral Arm, right."]

["Yeah." You nodded.]

["I heard that female soldier is also from the Galaxy Spiral Arm, seems to be from that planet under the third spiral arm, what was it called, Earth, yes, that's it, Earth."]

[You raised your head: "What is her name?"]

[The man was taken aback, not expecting you to look up and ask a question.]

[After all, usually you are always alone, researching those spiritual energy technology things, or studying knowledge about defensive fortifications, as if you have isolated yourself from everyone.]

["Called..." The man scratched his head, unable to recall it for a moment.]

["General Zhou Muxue!" someone nearby looked at her and said!]

["Yes, yes, yes, General Zhou Muxue!"]

[You glanced at the Second Lieutenant who had already walked away: "Officer, I am willing to go!"]
