Su Ming reunited with Wicket and his underground resistance fighters, who reported the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country's brutal purges and ongoing killings. He tasked them with discreetly locating the imprisoned Emkaine Bishop to revive the Divine Word Legion and cripple enemy logistics, then delivered abundant food supplies via Ankaga's team, allowing the starved fighters to feast. Meanwhile, Vice Sect Hierarch Du Saka savored luxuries at the production base until reports of a bombed plant and hijacked transport ship provoked his furious outburst.

Capítulo 1733: Chapter 546: Public Execution_4

The hearts of Fei Alu and his companions pounded with dread as they stared nervously toward Du Saka.

“These wretched survivors from the Divine Word Legion are truly courting death, striking at production facilities over and over and seizing shipments—do they honestly believe I’m some pushover?”

Du Saka rose abruptly from the sofa, his face twisted in fury, snarling through clenched teeth.

Truth be told, Du Saka’s rage had solid grounds; previously, their covert mecha manufacturing had been obliterated, and the Dragon Base Spear snatched away!

The Fanluo God Emperor had flown into a towering fury, forcing the Holy Egg Potion upon them all, leaving them teetering on the brink of doom.

Regaining an opportunity had been no small feat.

Should logistical supplies fail to materialize this time, causing shortages for the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country’s forces,

not only would his role as Vice Sect Hierarch crumble, but his very life would hang in the balance.

Yet these Divine Word Legion holdouts kept launching sabotage after sabotage, driving him to the edge of madness.

“My lord, what’s our next move? These Divine Word Legion remnants are sly foxes—they vanish right after every hit, shielded by those peasants, leaving us clueless on their whereabouts.”

Fei Alu inquired softly.

“You’re asking me? Who should I turn to?”

Du Saka lacked any solid countermeasures, having already launched multiple purges.

Far from lying low, the Divine Word Legion survivors grew bolder with each crackdown.

He couldn’t just slaughter every peasant, or there’d be nobody left to labor.

Just then, a gleam sparked in Misak’s eyes as he offered sycophantic counsel.

“Lord Du Saka, I’ve devised a scheme to eradicate these Divine Word Legion remnants once and for all.”

“What scheme?”

Du Saka fixed Misak with an icy stare and demanded.

Misak grinned and explained,

“Simple enough—haven’t you got that old fool Emkain captive? Proclaim to all that three days from now, Emkain faces public execution in Semikani City. The Divine Word Legion survivors will charge in wildly to save him, trap or no trap. That’s your chance to net them all!”

Misak’s suggestion lit up Du Saka’s features with a wicked grin.

“Haha, brilliant! Fei Alu, broadcast it far and wide right away!”

“Yes!”

Fei Alu rushed off without delay.

Du Saka eyed Fei Alu’s retreating back with a venomous smirk.

“Let’s see you wriggle out of this one!”

—————————————————–

Canite Dungeon.

Ankaga and his team hauled multiple Green Wing Mechas into the hidden underground city.

Wicket and his crew gaped at the mechas before them, each filled with awe.

“Third Generation Mechas!”

“Green Wings, no less!”

“Am I seeing things?”

“No illusions here—these mechas are yours now.”

Su Ming smiled as he addressed them.

As Wicket and the rest lacked Super Nerve conditioning, they couldn’t handle Fourth Generation mechas or beyond.

Thus, Su Ming held back the elite models, providing 200 Green Wing Mechas instead.

“Our deepest gratitude, my lord.”

Wicket and the others burst out, thrilled.

“No need for that.”

Su Ming replied warmly.

Suddenly, Jieva dashed up, breathless and gasping, yelling,

“Lord Su Ming, disaster strikes!”

“Stay calm—what’s gone wrong?”

Su Ming pivoted to face Jieva, inquiring steadily.

“The scum from Heavenly Revelation Divine Country declared that three days hence, they’ll execute Emkain publicly in Semikani City!”

Jieva cried out in alarm.

“What? They dare execute Lord Emkain?”

Wicket and his group grew frantic too.

Su Ming’s brow creased faintly as he questioned,

“Is this intel solid?”

“Solid as can be—every channel’s blaring the announcement.”

Jieva assured Su Ming.

At those words, Su Ming’s forehead furrowed deeply.

“Boss, this screams trap to me.”

Ankaga remarked with a puzzled look.

“No guessing required—it’s an outright ambush aimed straight at the Divine Word Army survivors.”

Su Ming stated firmly.

“Who’d fall for such a blatant setup?”

“Doesn’t matter who—everyone will dive in.”

“What, they’re idiots?”

“It’s their faith compelling them. Picture this: if it were me on the execution block, trap known or not, would you charge to my aid?”

“Absolutely—we’d battle them till our last breath.”

Ankaga shot back instantly.

“Precisely.”

Su Ming affirmed gravely.

“Then we’re doomed.”

Ankaga sighed in resignation.

Now, Wicket and the others faced Su Ming and pleaded,

“My lord, what’s our course?”

“Leave it to me—you stay out of it!”

Su Ming’s face shifted through emotions as he told Wicket and the crew.

“Understood!”

Wicket and the others nodded firmly.

“Ankaga, back to Thunder Extreme we go.”

Su Ming directed Ankaga and his team.

“Right away!”

Ankaga and the rest agreed swiftly.

A few hours later.

Inside the Central Control Room of the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme.

Su Ming stepped in with Ankaga and the others. Timi offered a respectful greeting,

“Lord Su Ming, you’re back.”

“Yes, set course for the Semikani Planet.”

Su Ming instructed while settling into the command chair.

“Understood!”

Timi responded promptly.

The Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme gradually lifted off, breaking through the atmosphere toward the boundless starry sky, then switched to superluminal flight mode and slipped into subspace.

Several hours afterward.

The Thunder Extreme materialized in the starry sky, positioned 50 million kilometers from the Semikani Planet.

Timi displayed the captured optical images.

A colossal gray planet appeared in view; orbiting this enormous world were gyro-shaped Light Barriers, Crystal Cannons, and various defensive armaments, alongside countless patrol ships and Mecha units.
