Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring'

Chapter 1851 - 1479: Celebration (Update 1)

Su Mo stood still, a faint smile on his lips, feeling quite good.As Sun Duoxiang ran up to Su Mo.

Su Mo reached out and patted his shoulder, saying with relief, "You’re back, you’ve had a hard time."

"Boss, what are you talking about? There’s no hardship, I didn’t even go to the front lines with you. By the way, the task you entrusted to me has been completed. The Federation gave us half of the Magic Moon Flowers, and they’re all alive, all on the Star Destroyer Phantom Flower."

Sun Duoxiang quickly reported the situation.

Su Mo nodded slightly, and he said to Sun Duoxiang, "Find a way to move these Phantom Flowers to Port 17. The Immortal Blade is docked there, and remember to keep a low profile so no one notices."

"Leave it to me."

Sun Duoxiang promised, patting his chest.

"I trust you to handle things well. One thing to note, it’s a critical time now, so after your people have moved the items to the Immortal Blade, stay silent in the ship for a while. Of course, you can come and go freely."

Su Mo gave Sun Duoxiang a heads-up.

Sun Duoxiang’s expression showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly speculated something.

"Alright."

Su Mo then said to Sun Duoxiang, "Once you’ve finished everything, you can go to the Immortal Blade’s hangar; I’ve left a gift for you."

"Really, Boss, you’re the best."

Upon hearing this, Sun Duoxiang looked very touched, almost hugging Su Mo.

"Alright, stop being so sentimental, go get things done, I need to head back too."

"Okay."

Sun Duoxiang responded promptly.

-------------------------------------

Three days later at Divine Grace Square.

The hard ground was covered with bright red carpets, with long crystal tables set up in the square.

Each crystal table featured a variety of gourmet dishes, fruits, and fine aged wines.

This celebration, unlike usual, was more of a city-wide festivity.

Therefore, the celebration took the form of an outdoor banquet, with participant numbers reaching an all-time high. Anyone above the rank of Lieutenant and soldiers with special contributions were eligible to join.

Moreover, every street in Star Ring City was adorned with various snacks, shared among all.

Simultaneously, Star Ring City issued a new command, lifting some of the harsh restrictions during the celebration, such as the fees for staying in Star Ring City.

Although the celebration hadn’t officially started yet, half of the expected attendees had already arrived, enthusiastically greeting each other.

"Colonel Wix, you’ve arrived."

"Colonel Kaban, you’re quite early today! Seems like you’re eager. I heard you made quite an achievement this time."

"Haha, it’s alright, barely satisfactory. But speaking of achievements, compared to the newcomers, ours can’t really compete."

"Who are the newcomers you’re referring to?"

"Over there."

Kaban indicated for Colonel Wix to look over there.

Sith, wearing a set of black bio armor, entered confidently, followed by various Imperial Army followers.

At this moment, many people warmly approached to greet him.

"Sith!"

...

Sith conversed calmly and self-assuredly with the crowd.

"Indeed, quite impressive, taking down so many capable figures of the Eternal Sleep Clan. Moreover, he and Lord Xia Weiya successfully contained the Eternal Sleep Clan’s Vice Clan Leader."

Colonel Wix remarked thoughtfully.

"Judging by such merit, he might even receive personal commendation from Lord Icaroya City Lord; the future looks bright."

"Yes, indeed, aside from Sith, didn’t the Third Birthplace produce a few impressive newcomers too? Like Wang Hai?"

"In this battle, Wang Hai performed quite well, reportedly killing a V-type Heroic Level Spirit Toucher. But he still pales in comparison to Sith, as do other newcomers."

...

At this point, the crowd stirred, and many made way, greeting the person walking over.

"Lord Xia Weiya, you’re here."

Xia Weiya nodded slightly in response, then walked towards Bagley, who was eating meat.

"The celebration hasn’t started, yet you’re already eating."

"I haven’t eaten since morning, so I’m eating a bit before the Lord City Mayor arrives."

Bagley raised his glass, finishing the wine in one go, speaking with great gusto.

"When do you ever think about eating?"

Xia Weiya said helplessly.

"You just think too much; the war is over now. Fretting over merit rankings is pointless. Anyways, the top prize will definitely go to those guys from the Mechanical Empire. From the moment I arrived, I’ve heard heaps of praise about Herbert, and my ears are almost calloused."

Bagley said helplessly.

Xia Weiya furrowed her brow upon hearing this.

Just then, Herbert arrived, turning the previously calm scene into a frenzy, like water dropping into hot oil.

"Lord Herbert, you’re finally here."

"In this battle, you were like a god, appearing on the main battlefield like a heavenly soldier, instantly shifting the tide."

"That’s nothing, Lord Herbert, you, Lord Crok, and Lord Cokes destroyed the Eternal Sleep Clan’s stronghold, dealing a fatal blow to the enemy. Now that’s truly impressive."

...

Herbert responded in an excellent mood.

"All due to Lord Icaroya City Lord’s strategic command; I’m merely an executor."

"Lord Herbert, you’re too humble."

...

Some NCOs who couldn’t squeeze in were discussing privately.

"What kind of commendation do you think Lord Herbert will receive for such significant accomplishments?"

"Definitely, extremely generous commendations."

"Do you think Lord Xia Weiya achieved more merit this time, or Lord Herbert?"

"Let me tell you, before, Lord Xia Weiya was vaguely catching up with Lord Herbert. But after this war, the gap widened; they’re not on the same level anymore."

"What you said makes sense; it seems like the difference between them has grown."

"So, as the saying goes, wisdom comes with age."

"Agreed."

...

Seeing and hearing the conversations around her, and observing Herbert being revered like a star among many, Xia Weiya took a sip of wine from her glass.

"Let them flatter him; it can’t be helped, Herbert indeed gained the advantage this time."

"If he continues to gain favor from Icaroya City Lord, the hope of outpacing him diminishes."

Bagley said with a deep voice.

Xia Weiya pondered ever deeper after hearing Bagley’s comments.

At this moment, she suddenly recognized a familiar figure entering, and her lips curved slightly upward.

"Forget those things for now."

Speaking, Xia Weiya walked forward, and Bagley hesitated slightly before following.
