Things were actually quite simple. After Ding Meng left Heavenly Silkworm Planet, Raydon had organized many small teams to infiltrate the Fertile Chalk System. However, these small teams were not as lucky as Ding Meng. They did not receive help from the mother body, but instead used reconnaissance ships to fly quietly.
This team was led by Zhong Yu, but unfortunately, they were targeted as soon as they landed on Planet 32. The worst thing was that the Elephant happened to be nearby.
However, Ding Meng now knew that the Divine Arrow Spaceship had already left through a space jump. The Elephant did not leave because it was waiting for Ding Meng. This stupid guy insisted on waiting for Beiming's corpse before returning.
Ding Meng's gaze fell on Xue Yue Mountain. "Why are you involved?"
Zhong Yu quickly explained, "The Elder is very knowledgeable. He knows about the wormhole technique of the Demons, so Sect Leader Leng asked him to come with us."
Ding Meng was curious. "You know about the Magic Light Array?"
Xue Yue Mountain's expression was serious. "Ding Meng, look at Planet 32. There are spaceships everywhere, but none of the big shots of the Combined Fleet have shown up. Do you know why?"
Ding Meng smiled. "Could it be that you know about it, Elder Cheng?"
Xue Yue Mountain said, "The Master knows about it."
Strictly speaking, the Dark Night Demoness was also a branch of the Demons, so it was not surprising that she knew some techniques.
"What do you mean?" Ding Meng was interested.
Xue Yue Mountain lowered his voice. "Don't be fooled by the wormholes in the sky. They are all fake. Once you enter, you will be trapped in the array. Without the key, you will not be able to open it."
Ding Meng was surprised. "Oh?
What kind of key? "
Xue Yue Mountain said, "I don't know what kind of key it is, but if we gather all of them, we can find another way."
Zhong Yu panted. "Our boss has received news that the Combined Fleet has found all the tools to open the forbidden array. There must be a reason why the Combined Fleet hasn't made a move yet. Other than the fact that large units can't fly in, I boldly guess that they want to move in secret. They don't want to alert the outside world. The rainforest is now the eyes and ears of all the major organizations all over the world."
His conjecture coincided with Ding Meng's thoughts. It was impossible for the joint fleet to set up their headquarters or command center on a starship because everyone knew that starships could not enter the depths of the rainforest unless they learned from Ling Xingqi's grand plan on Poison Dragon Planet and used a curved mirror to transmit large units accurately. However, the cost was too high. Before they saw any results, it was not worth it.
The only possibility was that the higher-ups wanted to gather their elite forces for a secret operation, and the operation had to avoid the eyes of most people. Ding Meng couldn't help but ask, "You suspect that the Combined Fleet's elite forces are gathering somewhere?"
Zhong Yu smiled bitterly. "Boss told me to move in the opposite direction from the periphery of Star Spiral. I didn't expect to run into this Long brat."
Ding Meng looked at him. "You guys are really brave. The rainforest is full of the Combined Fleet's forces. It's good enough that you guys can sneak in. How dare you run around …"
He then looked at Xue Yue Mountain, Zhan Feng, and the young general. "The three of you are from different countries. If I were that Long, I would have killed you. Do you guys really think you're something?"
Xue Yue Mountain, Zhan Feng, and Zhan Feng felt a little ashamed. One was a royal guard of the Steel Mane Race, one was an elder of the Devourer Race, and one was a young general of the Frogman Race. They all seemed to be of high status. However, this was a place where the strongest people from all over the world gathered. Did they really think they could do whatever they wanted? Especially on Planet 32, there were Battle Saints and Battle Lords everywhere.
"Sigh …" Ding Meng sighed. He didn't care about Zhong Yu and the young general, but he couldn't abandon Elephant, Zhan Feng, and Xue Yue Mountain. They were his people.
"You guys just pretend to be trapped and ignore that Long. He has his reasons for not killing you. We'll follow this ship to Planet 1 and see what he's up to." Ding Meng made up his mind.
Everyone could only nod and agree. In this situation, they could only listen to Ding Meng.
Ding Meng decided to go to Planet 1 because he had been there before. The Heavenly Dragon Unit's base and the Fifth Lord's former manor were both on Planet 1. Moreover, the Rat King of the Mole Race was also underground on Planet 1. When the time came, he could ask the Rat King to take care of the injured.
Planet 1 was always cold and windy all year round. When the Songqing spaceship landed, Ding Meng took a look at the control panel. As expected, Long Yan was going to land on the helipad on the cliff.
The helipad was indeed filled with ships of all sizes, but none of them had the logo of the Federal Empire. If he hadn't met the Fifth Lord before, Ding Meng would have suspected that he had returned to the Black Handprint's original headquarters.
To the south of the helipad was the familiar abyss. The cable bridge above the abyss had now been modified into a steel bridge. After crossing it, they would arrive at the manor in the cold fog.
When Elephant and the others were escorted in, Ding Meng had already scanned the place with his telekinesis vision. The hall on the first floor was the same as before. The room was less than 500 square meters and was densely covered with screens of all sizes. All the control panels were operating in an orderly manner. However, it was no longer the Black Handprint's control system. Instead, it had been changed to the Empire's military's control panel.
There were quite a lot of people in the hall. Most of them were staff members. A middle-aged man in a suit was sitting on the command chair. He also had the aura of a warlord. It seemed like he was the person in charge here.
Long Yan swaggered in. The middle-aged man's eyebrows revealed a hint of disgust. He was obviously dissatisfied with Long Yan's usual arrogant and despotic behavior.
"Lao Zhang, I've brought them here!" Long Yan said casually.
Zhang Feng glanced at Elephant and the others. He was slightly surprised. "Why are there three more monsters?"
Long Yan's attitude was indifferent. "Then you can just kill them!"
Zhang Feng also noticed that Ding Meng and Zhu Lang were following behind the group. "General Of The North, Senior Colonel Zhu, thank you for your hard work!"
Long Yan said, "Officers, we've escorted them here. You should go back now. Forgive me for not sending you off."
Zhu Lang's attitude was very humble. "Chief Zhang, I'll have to trouble you to arrange a ship."
Before Zhang Feng could answer, Long Yan spoke first. "The orders from the higher-ups were only for you to escort them. They didn't ask us to arrange a ship for you."
Zhu Lang couldn't hold it in anymore. "Without a ship, how are we going to go back?"
Long Yan shrugged. "That's your problem. It has nothing to do with me!"
"Long Yan, you're going too far!" Zhu Lang's eyes were spitting fire. "I'm an officer of the Federation!"
Long Yan laughed. "So what?
Do you think the officers of the Federation can command the citizens of our empire? "
Zhang Feng also felt that Long Yan had gone too far. He took the initiative and said, "Officers, please take a rest. I'll arrange the ship."
Ding Meng suddenly smiled. "No need!"
Zhang Feng was stunned. What did he mean?
Ding Meng smiled strangely. "I don't have any military business anyway. I can stay and watch Long Shao's professional interrogation."
Long Yan also felt that something was wrong. He stared at Ding Meng. "General Of The North, I suggest you go back!"
Ding Meng smiled happily. "I don't want your suggestion. I want my suggestion. I suggest I watch."
"You!"
Long Yan's eyes flashed fiercely. "General Of The North, you should know your place. You're just a newly promoted Star General."
Ding Meng smiled. "What?
In the Norse Empire, my status as a general can't compare to a little bodyguard like you? "
Long Yan's expression became completely cold. "I can speak on behalf of Chuangyu. Lao Zhang can speak on behalf of Apocalypse Group. Who can you speak on behalf of?
Don't tell me you can speak on behalf of the Head of State. "
Ding Meng's heart skipped a beat. Didn't Apocalypse Group and Chuangyu support Wen Yang?
This place looked a bit like a branch of the two groups. Both groups were overseen by two warlords. There must be something going on here.
Seeing that Ding Meng was deep in thought, Long Yan couldn't help but laugh. "It's good that you admit defeat. Hurry up and get out of here. Don't be a hindrance."
Ding Meng wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed. "You're ridiculously arrogant. You don't have much strength, but you're quite arrogant."
Long Yan said proudly, "What?
You don't like it? "
Ding Meng smiled. "I only have one thing to say now. I'm not leaving today. Let's see what you can do to me."
"You!"
Long Yan's aura suddenly increased by a lot. His eyebrows were raised. "Do you have the guts to repeat what you just said?"
Ding Meng said, "I'm not a repeater. It's fine if you don't understand human language. I don't blame you!"
Long Yan took a deep breath and looked around. "Lao Zhang, I'll give you face and not fight here. Bei, get out here if you have the guts. I'll personally send you off today!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard outside. Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, Zhang Feng panicked. He quickly tried to calm him down. "General Of The North, you're also a general of the Empire. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Boss and the others will be here soon. We can't have internal strife …"
Ding Meng looked at him deeply. "Good attitude. You saved your own life."
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside. Zhang Feng was stunned. What did he mean by that?
He sounded even more arrogant than Long Yan.
The courtyard was still the same as before. A few big trees formed a circle, and the area was at least a few hundred square meters. Long Yan stood in the center and was already rubbing his hands. "Bei, I'll let you understand something today. It doesn't matter if you're a general or something else. When you see people from Chuangyu, you'll have to be polite."
Ding Meng laughed disdainfully. "I'm impressed by your willpower."
Long Yan took another deep breath. To be honest, he really didn't care about people like Beiming. You're just a Heat Battle Saint. You're not even on the same level as me. Where did you get the confidence to challenge me?
"I can kill you with one punch!"
Long Yan's figure was a little blurry. In the next moment, he was in front of Ding Meng and punched Ding Meng in the face.
He was a Light Speed Assassin. Not only was he fast, but his punches were also very accurate. He didn't hit anywhere else but Ding Meng's lips. The reason was simple: I want you to shut up!
Unfortunately, when the punch arrived, Ding Meng was no longer there.
