"Hmph, would it be okay if we didn't give him some advantages? Only Lan Qi's daughter can keep him in check. Who told him to be so incompetent yet still love to play around? When he screws up, he just kills people! How many women have been carelessly killed over the years for touching his berserk button? Otherwise, where do you think his title of 'Redeemer' came from? He kills people and then pretends to mourn them; it makes me want to vomit."

Nan Qi couldn't help but sneer at the end.

"Lord Nan Qi is right," Bai Li replied respectfully.

........

On the other side, after saying goodbye to Geyi and the others, Su Mo and the group quickly arrived at their booked rooms.

Their rooms were all in a row along the corridor.

Su Mo opened the door and checked the amenities inside. They were quite good.

It really lived up to the saying, "You get what you pay for."

Just then, the Black White Boundary Fortress's broadcast sounded.

"Esteemed passengers, I am Commander Nan Qi of the Black White Boundary Fortress. I am very pleased that you are able to travel on the Black White Boundary Fortress. Our destination this time is Ceres, and the estimated journey time is one month. During this month, I hope everyone will have an unforgettable trip. The Black White Fortress will now close all entrances and officially set sail in thirty minutes..."

"Finally, it's about to set sail."

Su Mo's calm heart stirred slightly.

......

In the starry sky, a giant metal container holding the Star Gate was secured to the top of the Black White Boundary Fortress with chains.

At first glance, it looked like the Black White Boundary Fortress was wearing a tall hat.

Surrounding it was a fleet of pitch-black ships, led by the legendary-class Star Destroyer, Dark Crow.

The entire legendary Star Destroyer, Dark Crow, was 220 kilometers long, with rows of black launch ports arranged along its hull. Its black armor, like crow feathers, covered it layer upon layer, making it very distinctive.

Just then, the Dark Crow fleet and the Black White Boundary Fortress moved, beginning to head towards the distant starry sky.

As they moved, the white fortress side of the Black White Boundary Fortress had mechanical bumps protruding from it. These mechanical bumps burst out with brilliant white light.

The light spread out like ripples of water.

It not only covered the entire Black White Boundary Fortress but also all accompanying ships.

Immediately afterward, the space in the covered area began to ripple.

The entire fleet of ships and the fortress gradually blurred and eventually disappeared, entering subspace for a minimum level of faster-than-light travel.

However, even with this minimum speed of faster-than-light travel, the Black White Boundary Fortress could not maintain it continuously.

Every so often, it needed to interrupt the faster-than-light travel to allow the faster-than-light travel device to cool down.

Therefore, the entire journey would take a month.

......

On the Star Ring forum, countless people from various countries witnessed the departure of the Black White Boundary Fortress and its fleet.

Countless messages of blessing instantly flooded the screen.

"Bon voyage!"

"Good luck!"

.......

In the Federal Administrative Council Building, Alres stood by the window, looking into the distance.

Hai Yue respectfully reported, "Council Speaker, the Star Ring City's forces have set off."

"I know."

Alres sighed slightly. In fact, he also wanted to see off the expeditionary force, after all, the Federation's entire hope was pinned on them.

But in the end, he gave up. Of course, Alres wasn't the only one who did this.

Almost all civilization leaders kept it simple, without going to see them off, let alone holding any ceremonies.

Mainly because they had lingering fears in their hearts, afraid of suffering another devastating blow. After all, there was already a precedent, although the possibility of it happening again was almost zero. However, everyone instinctively chose to avoid trouble.

Hai Yue said with some concern, "Council Speaker, will this expedition return triumphantly?"

"I don't know. If all goes well, the Fifth Expeditionary Force will replace most of the personnel of the First Expeditionary Force. If it doesn't go well, what may be welcomed back will be piles of white bones, and even the Fifth Expeditionary Force may not return. But don't worry too much, do your best and leave the rest to fate!"

Alres said with a firm gaze.

......

Several days later, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were sitting in a private screening room.

They were watching a holographic movie together.

Sun Duo Xiang and the others were yawning, looking drowsy.

"If you're sleepy, go back to your rooms and sleep. What are you doing here?"

Su Mo turned his head and glanced at Sun Duo Xiang.

"Boss, isn't it too boring? These days, we've been either eating, exercising, or watching movies. There are so many places to have fun and entertain on this ship. Why don't we go spend some money? If nothing else, we can go shopping."

Sun Duo Xiang couldn't help but complain.

"No money, we're poor. Also, less going out, less trouble, and keeping a low profile is the key. You need to understand one thing. The entire logistics corps is made up of our close friends, and most of them are girls. I don't want anything to go wrong and repeat past mistakes."

"It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

"Have you forgotten what happened on the Blue Whale? You don't cause trouble, you don't look for trouble, but that doesn't mean others won't look for trouble with you. And the people on this fortress are a mixed bag; many of them are people we can't afford to offend."

"Uh, what happened on the Blue Whale?"

Sun Duo Xiang asked in confusion.

"I forgot, you weren't there at the time. Anyway, just bear with it. It's only a short journey; it'll be over soon."

Su Mo suddenly remembered that Sun Duo Xiang wasn't there at that time.

Qian Chengxue, who was sitting to the side, revealed a slight smile on her usually cold face. She enjoyed this warm and quiet time.

Usually, on Earth, they were both very busy and rarely spent time together.

Just then, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue's phones vibrated simultaneously.

Buzz~

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue both picked up their phones and took a look, revealing surprised expressions.

"Boss, what's the good news?"

Sun Duo Xiang curiously leaned over.

"It's nothing. Commander Tia sent an invitation to invite us to dinner tonight."

Su Mo didn't hide it from Sun Duo Xiang.

"Wow, the boss really has face. Commander Tia even has to invite you to dinner."

Sun Duo Xiang quickly flattered him.

"Don't overthink it. She's not just inviting us, but all the senior members of the entire Fifth Expeditionary Force, as well as some federal celebrities and dignitaries on the fortress. Everyone is eating together, which can also be regarded as wooing people, after all, she will have to rely on everyone later."

Su Mo explained to Sun Duo Xiang.

"Tch, I thought it was a private banquet. It turns out it's just a potluck."

Sun Duo Xiang immediately lost interest.

"Go cool off somewhere else."

Su Mo was too lazy to retort to this guy.

"Boss, you're all going to dinner tonight. We brothers have nothing to do anyway. Why don't you let us go out and have a meal ourselves, and get together!"

Sun Duo Xiang asked with a cheeky smile.
