32: Portal Device

After all the supplies and personnel had been loaded, the massive titan transport ship slowly started its engines and began to gradually move away from the Space Station.

"Captain Li Yang, the titan transport ship has been fully loaded and is now ready for everything, capable of initiating a space jump at any moment."

Pal stood beside Li Yang with a solemn expression, reporting in a serious tone.

"So it's finally loaded, huh... Alright, then issue the order for the fleet to depart immediately."

Li Yang said with a long sigh of relief.

It had taken several hours just to wait for the troops to board the starship. After all, this batch consisted of hundreds of thousands of Soldiers and numerous pieces of equipment. Even with the assistance of the Star Controller, they could only be transported and loaded in batches.

"Yes!"

Pal responded with a powerful and resonant voice.

As Li Yang's order was relayed down the chain of command, the entire fleet, along with the titan transport ship, slowly began to activate its hyperspace jump engines.

"All starships, all units, please note: the coordinates of the target planet have been confirmed. Prepare to initiate hyperspace jump... 3... 2... 1... Jump initiated!"

As the clear and firm voice of the Commander rang out.

With the powerful activation of the hyperspace engine, light flashed in an instant, and the entire fleet vanished from the periphery of Blue Star, leaving behind only a tranquil starry sky... Meanwhile, at the advance Squad's camp on an exoplanet, Xia Feng was focused on his duties when he received news from Blue Star that the main force was en route.

"Excellent, the day has finally come! Someone, come here!"

Xia Feng shouted, unable to contain his excitement.

"Yes, Commander, what are your orders?"

A Soldier quickly ran over and stood at attention.

"The main force is already on its way. Go and inform everyone to recall all Soldiers currently on missions outside. Thoroughly clean the area we prepared earlier and make all necessary preparations to welcome the arrival of the main force."

Xia Feng issued his orders methodically.

"Yes!"

The Soldier acknowledged the order, turned, and quickly left to relay the instructions.

On the other side, a Squad at the border of the Magical Beast Empire also received news from the camp.

"Captain, the Commander wants us to return to prepare for the main force. What about these people? Should we bring them back?"

A Soldier asked, glancing at several native adventurers nearby.

These individuals were alien natives discovered by the Squad during a reconnaissance mission. Seeing their friendly attitude, the Squad had originally planned to trick them back to the camp for interrogation to extract useful information. However, this sudden news completely disrupted their original plan.

Of course, the Soldier spoke in the language of Blue Star, so the native adventurers had no idea what they were discussing.

"Why even ask? The main force is coming; just kill them."

The Captain said without hesitation, raising his gun and pointing it at the group, then decisively pulling the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several gunshots rang out, and the bullets instantly pierced through their bodies.

"You..."

The native adventurers collapsed to the ground with expressions of confusion and bewilderment. Until their last breath, they did not understand why these people had suddenly turned on them.

"Let's go, hurry back."

The Captain waved his hand.

"What about the bodies? Aren't we going to clean them up?"

The Soldier asked again.

"Why bother cleaning them up? The main force is coming."

The Captain said nonchalantly.

"Oh, that's true..."

The Soldier nodded, said no more, and quickly followed the Captain back to the camp... After a mere half-hour had quietly passed, the fleet, carrying the titan transport ship, successfully arrived at the periphery of the target planet.

"Captain Li Yang, the advance Squad has sent word that they have finished clearing the landing zone for the main force."

"Oh, I was originally planning to send fighter jets to clear it, like before... It seems that won't be necessary now."

Li Yang nodded slightly.

However, a rather tricky problem now lay before Li Yang: how to safely transport the massive force from the titan transport ship to the exoplanet.

After all, this planet did not have the assistance of a Star Controller. If transport shuttles were used, it would probably take one or two days just for the time spent. It was important to remember that this was not a small force of merely 5,000 people, but a large force consisting of hundreds of thousands of Soldiers and various types of weapons and equipment.

"Captain Li Yang, actually, Imperial military transport ships like this usually come with a specialized teleportation device."

Pal's words undoubtedly solved the problem Li Yang was currently facing.

"There's such a device? Quickly, take me to see it."

Li Yang said eagerly.

No sooner had he spoken than Pal led Li Yang back onto the titan transport ship.

Looking at the rectangular box, only a few meters in size, placed on the ground before him, a hint of doubt appeared on Li Yang's face.

"This thing is the teleportation device? It's so small. To be honest, I didn't even notice it when I toured before."

"This is a portal device that comes with military transport ships. Personnel need to be arranged to take it to the destination and deploy the portal, after which the troops can directly pass through the portal from the storage compartment to the target location."

Seeing Li Yang's puzzled expression, Pal quickly explained the specific purpose of the teleportation device.

"I see. Then quickly dispatch a Squad to take this thing to the target location."

"Yes!"

Soon, an elite Squad of well-trained Imperial Soldiers, carrying the teleportation device, boarded a transport shuttle and sped towards the advance Squad's camp like an arrow shot from a bowstring.

Not long after, the transport shuttle gently vibrated as it landed steadily at the target location. Several Soldiers moved swiftly, quickly exiting the transport shuttle with the teleportation device.

"Excuse me..."

Xia Feng saw only one transport shuttle land, his face filled with confusion, and he thought to himself.

"Didn't they say the main force? Why is there only one transport shuttle?"

"Sir, we have been ordered to install the teleportation device to make full preparations for the subsequent landing of the Blue Star Troops."

The Soldiers saluted in unison and said loudly.

"I see, quick, quick, I'll lead the way for you."

Xia Feng suddenly understood and quickly motioned for the Soldiers.

As for why the Imperial Soldiers called Xia Feng 'Sir,' it was naturally because Xia Feng held an Imperial position.

After all, he was the Commander of this advance Squad and was undoubtedly a member of the Blue Star Management Department, so it was not unusual for Imperial Soldiers to call him 'Sir.'
