filled with makeshift homes cobbled together out of scrap metal sheets, resembling box-shaped hovels, and several crude processing factories belching black smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the walls of the cave, aged life support machines were exposed, making shrill, grating noises that sounded like tractor engines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dim bulbs hung from the metal beams on the ceiling, providing faint light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murky air was thick with a pungent odor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite such spartan conditions, the place was teeming with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of bare-skinned children chased each other in spirited play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Holy Army personnel, clothed in old uniforms, were driving decrepit transport carts, hauling collected ores as they drove through winding streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry it up, get the ore to Factory No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is our home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Follow me; I’ll take you to meet the leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bair led Su Ming and the others inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming and his companions followed Bair, curiously surveying their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they met various diligent workers along the way, they all greeted Bair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bair, you’re back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are the people with you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They look so unfamiliar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, are they new here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They don’t seem like it; their gear looks so well-equipped!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are guests from the Federation,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bair replied proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Federation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You actually found people from the Federation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Bair’s words, the members of the Holy Army showed surprised and delighted expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming found their reactions curious, noticing the unexpectedly cordial attitude towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, I can’t chat now; I need to take them to see the leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bair said to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone responded in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward, Bair brought Su Ming and the rest to the center of a humble metallic bungalow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing the door open, he led Su Ming and the others inside, calling out excitedly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming observed the living room’s sparse furnishings—a simple table and a few metal chairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although primitive, the space was spotlessly clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bair, what are you yelling about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a rather petite woman with a high ponytail, slightly chubby cheeks, and bright eyes emerged from the back room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fia, I wasn’t calling for you,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bair replied nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Fia was about to speak to Bair, she suddenly saw Su Ming and his group, freezing in place and calling out nervously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the matter, Fia?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a woman with pale skin, blue hair, amber eyes, and an exceptionally attractive appearance came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, look at them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fia spoke urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Novlin turned her gaze to Su Ming and his companions, showing a hint of surprise in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, Bair introduced them to Novlin,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big sister, this gentleman is Lord Su Ming from the Federation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that the visitors were from the Federation, Novlin promptly bowed slightly to Su Ming and the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Lord Su Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am Novlin, the commander of the 163rd Battalion of the Holy Army!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming politely replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhein and the others heard Novlin’s introduction and all showed expressions of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander of the 163rd Battalion—that’s an enormous number of units for the Holy Army, incredible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Bair couldn’t wait to tell Novlin,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big sister, Lord Su Ming and his group are incredible—they just took down Heart of Sky Base!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Heart of Sky Base is heavily guarded, and it even has a fortress,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fia said, somewhat incredulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s true, but we destroyed it in a stealth attack,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming calmly explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even a stealth attack is extremely impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kogis, who was stationed at Heart of Sky Base, is a highly troublesome figure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Novlin shook her head as she said this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That guy, he’s already been taken down by our squad leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhein boasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fia and the rest, upon hearing this, were shocked as they looked at Su Ming,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You killed Kogis?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough cough, he’s presumed dead,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming replied modestly, clearing his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Su Ming, you are truly remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May I know why you have come to us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there something we can assist you with?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Novlin asked respectfully, calming her emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The situation is that after we attacked Heart of Sky Base, we were pursued by the Imperial Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the rush, we fled into the Dark Forest and got separated from our main forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are now seeking your assistance,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming stated straightforwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Su Ming, just tell us what you need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as we can help, we won’t hesitate,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Novlin pledged without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need fuel and supplies for our mechas,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming didn’t beat around the bush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many mechas?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What models?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Novlin inquired, looking at Su Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Over eight hundred, mostly second-generation Iron Guards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming provided an approximate number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Novlin and her companions fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Novlin and the others speechless, Su Ming was not surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supplying so many mechas would be extremely costly, and anyone would be reluctant to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with no other options, he sincerely said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, Miss Novlin, I ask for your help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, we would not expect you to provide supplies for free; we can offer financial compensation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Novlin, with a complex look on her face, was about to speak,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when suddenly, the door was flung open, and a cheerful young man exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>",893,"2026-06-02T10:50:10.349Z",1,"novelbin.me","2a4a9f46ba9a95f6e869840121c775f2f0d0b93ed9718b3fdf758015dcab6fc3","shadows-of-the-deep-space-chapter-585","shadows-of-the-deep-space-chapter-583",1854,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshadows-of-the-deep-space-cover.jpg"]
