Chapter 749: Give You An Advice
Several colossal transport ships appeared in the skies above the Military Guard Bureau’s fortress square. It was Li Xiaofei’s first time witnessing military transport ships with his own eyes.
Each vessel stretched thousands of meters long, resembling enormous skyborne Kun[1]. Their sheer scale was intimidating to behold.
These special transport ships had never been seen before in Chongque City.
“Solar Whale-class troop carriers, the only means of transport from Chongque City to the Star Battlefield of the cosmic galaxy,” Hu Shuo said with deep emotion. “This is my third time seeing them... and I’m still just as shaken. Every time they appear, it means the frontline has reached a critical stage. Every major base planet must start mass conscription. Even Chongque City is expected to fulfill its recruitment quota... It’s never a good sign.”
Li Xiaofei’s gaze remained on the massive vessels. Their silver hulls shimmered faintly with light. Though clearly mechanical in nature, they still exerted tremendous psychological pressure on him.
Each ship felt like a living Black Hole-class cosmic lifeform as it emanated an invisible aura of dominance. Li Xiaofei saw a single, blazing white pillar of light beam down from one of the carriers. It hung in the air like a majestic, dazzling silk strand from a willow tree.
Then came the spectacle. Phalanx after phalanx of troops were beamed up into the transport ships, as if the legendary Solar Whales were devouring all beneath the heavens. Each formation contained one hundred soldiers. They were cosmic lifeforms who had been recruited from various successfully evolved base planets.
After receiving their gear and weapons from the Military Division in Chongque City, they were quickly formed into squadrons and transmitted aboard the Solar Whale-class ships to leave the solar system. Then, they’d be sent to the true battlefield among the stars.
At least several hundred thousand cosmic lifeforms had already been teleported aboard, and the process was still ongoing.
“Let’s go.” Hu Shuo patted Li Xiaofei on the shoulder. “You won’t be able to avoid it this time either. The City Lord’s Office has issued the conscription quotas to every gang and faction, so you’ll definitely be assigned a recruitment target. If you fail to meet the quota, there’ll be a heavy fine. Fortunately, since you’ve lived in Chongque City for less than a hundred years, you’re not subject to mandatory service yet.”
“Even Chongque City has to participate in the conscription?” It was the first time Li Xiaofei had heard of such a policy.
“Yes,” Hu Shuo replied. “Anyone who’s been a resident of Chongque City for over a hundred years is required to serve in the Star Battlefield for thirty years. After that, they can retire.”
