"Let's go to the escape pod!" Xi Wen had not completely lost her mind.
This was the final struggle before death. Under such circumstances, going to the escape capsule would only delay everyone's death. In such a remote place in the universe, whether it was the Godly Wars Space Zone or the Saint Brilliance Federation, there was a super long distance in units of "light years". Sleeping in the tiny escape capsules was nothing more than cold coffins drifting endlessly in the universe.
"No need!" Ding Meng suddenly interrupted her.
Xi Wen turned her head in shock and found Ding Meng staring at the gate with a thoughtful expression.
The gate had been blown up, and the main passage was filled with flames. However, a spot of light suddenly appeared at the gate. The spot of light extended into two rays of light, which then gave birth to new spots of light. The spots of light then repeatedly extended, twisted, and multiplied. In the blink of an eye, a wide cylinder was formed, emitting a dazzling white light.
Xi Wen and the others might not be familiar with this, but Ding Meng was very familiar with it. "Music Image Transmission System. Simply put, this is a teleportation array."
Kadiga's reaction was not slow. He asked hesitantly, "Is this the location of the Dragon Slayer Starship?"
Xi Wen sighed, "I knew their intentions weren't that simple."
Ding Meng said, "We don't have any other choice. Let's go in!"
There was indeed no other choice. If they went in, they would fall into the enemy's hands. If they did not go in, they would just be waiting for death.
Everyone supported each other as they limped into the Teleportation Array …
In space, the Sovereign had actually been broken in two. Starting from the stern, the crystal flames had already burned into the middle of the ship, while the front half dragged a long tail as it fell into the depths of space.
Ding Meng and the others were in a pure white light in the teleportation array. The enemy did not make them wait for too long. The light slowly faded into spots of light and disappeared. What appeared in front of everyone was a wide and deep starship passage.
"Welcome to the Conqueror Starship." A crisp voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.
Turning around, he realized that the person standing behind him was the beautiful young officer who had spoken on behalf of the Norse Empire fleet during the meeting. This was indeed the interior of the Dragon Slaying Ship.
"Welcome aboard, Officer Ding Meng!" The female officer gave a standard military salute to Ding Meng.
Everyone was surprised. Even Ding Meng himself was curious. "You... know me?"
The female officer smiled and said, "Sir, you might have forgotten that you found a long lost item for the Norse Empire during a special military mission. The military awarded you the honor of a third-class soldier. Strictly speaking, you are a member of the Norse Empire's military. How can the military just stand by and watch a soldier of the Norse Empire die?"
Ding Meng suddenly remembered that the special mission mentioned by the female military officer was the one that he went to Black Gold Base with Qu Xiaoqing.
Ding Meng seemed to have thought of something. He hurried to ask, "Who is the commander of your starship?"
"This way please!" The female officer gestured respectfully. "The commander has been waiting for you for a long time. This way please!"
At the end of the passage was the command hall of the starship. The command hall was huge, and the various areas were clearly divided. The hall was brightly lit, and hundreds of soldiers were working in an orderly manner on the various control panels.
At the center of the control panel, a slender and valiant female officer stood with her hands behind her back. She looked very young, and her face was delicate and charming.
When Ding Meng and his group walked over, the female officer suddenly turned around and smiled. "Ding Meng, it has been many years since we last met. How have you been?"
Ding Meng was stunned. "You are... Miss... Qu?"
The beautiful officer in front of him was Qu Xiaoqing, the first guest he had sparred with in the dojo when he was stranded on a planet at the edge of the Norse Empire.
Qu Xiaoqing had changed a lot. She had long lost her youthfulness and the charm of a fashionable city girl. What replaced it was a steady, mature, calm, and determined military temperament. Especially the commander's uniform, it made her look confident and dignified.
Ding Meng was pleasantly surprised. "I was wondering why the starship of the Norse Empire would help us for no reason.
So it's you, Miss Qu. "
Qu Xiaoqing said sweetly, "Ding Meng, we missed you very much during the years you were away. We even went to Planet KV303 once, and heard that you had gone to the Holy Grail Federation..."
Ding Meng felt a trace of warmth in her heart. Qu Xiaoqing had provided assistance to the refugees, and Ding Meng had always treated her as a friend. She was a friend that Ding Meng recognized from the bottom of her heart.
The female officer explained, "Captain Qu is the commander of the special operation fleet numbered V15T30XM20 of the Norse Empire. She is also the overall commander of this operation."
Ding Meng knew about the military ranks of the Norse Empire. Qu Xiaoqing was now a captain, and she must have been stationed on the frontlines after leaving Black Gold Base. She must have made a lot of contributions, which was why she was promoted so quickly.
"Congratulations!" Ding Meng smiled.
Qu Xiaoqing sized up Ding Meng and smiled. "I should be the one congratulating you. Your current strength is really... I can't tell at all."
Ding Meng could only be modest. "It's just luck."
A beautiful voice came from the side. "Ding Meng really hasn't changed at all. You are still so powerful. Just now, we thought that Gu Yu should have been teleported to your starship, but you were still able to come to us. This proves that Ding Meng has created another miracle."
Ding Meng turned around and saw another female officer with bright eyes and white teeth walking over with light steps.
"Xing Yi?" Ding Meng was surprised.
Xing Yi smiled. "Thank the heavens, you still remember me."
Ding Meng couldn't help but smile. "How could I not remember?
I heard from the commander that you came to planet KV303 a few times. "
Qu Xiaoqing sighed. "Unfortunately, when Xing Yi went, you weren't there. Later, you joined the Federation. I heard that you joined the Starbow Corporation. According to the information I gathered, you participated in a secret mission for the Federation military three years ago. Apparently, you died in a galactic disaster..."
Xing Yi immediately said, "Sister Qu didn't believe that you had died. We all believed that you were still alive. Thank the heavens, we didn't expect to meet you here."
"Yes, good people don't live long, but scourges live for thousands of years. From the first day I met him, I knew that he wasn't the kind of person who would die so easily."
A lazy voice came from behind Xing Yi, "Look, this brat is now scourging space over a thousand light years away."
Walking towards them was a young and handsome officer. He was tall and handsome, and his uniform was neat. His whole person looked like the sun, and he had a confident expression on his face. His whole body exuded an unyielding temperament. Who else could this person be other than Xin Jie?
Ding Meng stared silently at Xin Jie. After a long time, he slowly reached out his hand.
With a "pa" sound, the two hands clasped tightly together, and they didn't let go for a long time.
Xin Jie revealed his frivolous smile again. "Do you know how I found you?"
Ding Meng smiled. "How did you find out?"
Xin Jie said, "You guys are really too daring, using spatial transmission to send people back to the starship from the planet's surface. So many families are watching you. I saw a sneaky kid sneaking around, and that figure looked a little familiar. I didn't have to look at the radar to know it was you."
Ding Meng smiled. "You're that confident?"
Xin Jie said proudly, "You've always been to these strange places, and you always come back alive."
His faint smile symbolized how much he understood Ding Meng. Of course, only a true friend could show such a knowing smile.
Ding Meng said seriously, "Actually, I should have guessed it was you."
"Oh?" Xin Jie was curious. "Tell me about it. Your opinion is very important."
Ding Meng sighed. "Apart from you, I really can't think of anyone else who can invade the mainframe system of a large starship and locate the coordinates of the qu shadow transmission so accurately in high-speed navigation. Especially in the last qu shadow transmission, you actually located the transmission array directly in front of me. It's impossible for Shenghao Group to have a top expert in this field."
Xin Jie smiled again, and his smile was very happy. If Qu Xiaoqing had praised him, he might not have taken it seriously, but when these words came from Ding Meng's mouth, it was undoubtedly the highest level of praise.
Qu Xiaoqing clapped her hands. "Xiao Mei, arrange for the wounded to be sent to the medical bay. Arrange for the other friends to be sent to the rest area."
The female officer immediately lowered her head. "Yes, Officer Qu!"
Xi Wen and the others had not made a fuss. It was only now that everyone realized that Ding Meng was not from the God Wars Starfield. However, Ding Meng's background was not small at all.
The Norse Empire had such a large fleet, but even the commander of the fleet had personally chased after Ding Meng. It was enough to show how important Ding Meng was to these people.
Ding Meng said, "By the way, how did you guys get here?"
Xing Yi rushed to answer. "Ding Meng, you don't know, right? After we separated back then, Sister Qu has been fighting on the frontlines of the Frogmen Kingdom, until she became the commander of the fleet."
Ding Meng looked at Qu Xiaoqing. "Seems like you're good at commanding."
Qu Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Actually, Gu Yu is someone who defected from the Empire to the Federation. He was originally part of the Empire's military, and we've been tracking him."
Ding Meng said, "Oh?
There's such a background? "
Qu Xiaoqing nodded and stopped smiling. "After he defected, he went into hiding for many years. He only appeared near the Frogmen Kingdom in recent years, which naturally aroused our suspicions. We also secretly followed the Frogmen Kingdom's starship to get here."
Xing Yi could not help but say, "Gu Yu is a Battle-Monarch level powerhouse. Ding Meng, you must have encountered him just now, right?"
Ding Meng nodded. "Yes, he's quite cunning. He actually teleported to our starship."
"Then..." Xing Yi hesitated. "What was the result?"
Ding Meng smiled. "The result was that he went where he should have gone."
As soon as these words were said, Qu Xiaoqing, Xing Yi, and Xiao Mei all sucked in a breath of cold air. This meant that Ding Meng had already dealt with Gu Yu.
Qu Xiaoqing stared at him. "Ding Meng, if I remember correctly, when I met you on planet TT12, you were only an Origin Ability Master. How long has it been?"
Xin Jie smiled. "If I calculate, it should be four years and eight months, close to five years."
Qu Xiaoqing was speechless. Taking everything into account, Ding Meng had only used five years to advance from an Advanced Origin Ability Master to a Battle-Monarch. This speed of advancement was practically cheating.
For a moment, she was filled with emotions. Back then, she had seen through Ding Meng's potential. She knew that Ding Meng would definitely achieve great things in the future, but she never expected that the current Ding Meng would actually grow to such a terrifying degree.
