I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 823 - 565: Montell Star, Uninvited Guest (Part 2)

”Understood, General Nangong, rest assured, we will not act without permission,” Yun Heli was the first to express his stance.

The other Pill Masters nodded in agreement, ”Don’t worry, General Nangong, we understand.”

Having experienced the dire straits of subspace, a close brush with death, they cherished their lives more than before.

Forty days, neither too long nor too short, they could pass the time by refining pills and chatting at the base.

Moreover, they never had such an opportunity to interact closely with Elder Yun, who was now by their side, generously offering guidance. Who would spare time to risk unnecessary danger on the planet?

Seeing everyone was cooperative without any dissent, General Nangong’s smile became more genuine, ”Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation. I won’t disturb your rest anymore. You’ve had a long journey, so please take a good rest. If you have any needs before reaching Montel Planet—be it food, accommodation, or anything else—feel free to contact me, and I will do my utmost to meet them.”

After saying this, he bowed slightly again, ”On behalf of the Celestial Fleet, I welcome you all and wish you a safe journey.”

With these words, General Nangong exchanged a few more pleasantries before quietly exiting with the officers, leaving the reception space to Yun Heli, Qin Tian, and others.

After General Nangong left, everyone quickly accessed the Star Net to inquire about Montel Planet.

Montel Planet was recently discovered by an exploration team and is rich in mineral resources, especially the staggering reserves of mithril and aetherite.

To fully develop this planet, the Empire dispatched an entire fleet, which was the Celestial Fleet, to Montel Planet.

However, perhaps due to confidentiality, there wasn’t much information about Montel Planet on the Star Net. One would have to wait two days to experience it firsthand.

Two days later, the fleet arrived in the orbit of Montel Planet.

The first sight was a silver-gray fleet of warships orbiting the planet.

They were like loyal iron guardians, arrayed in a ring formation, with the Empire’s emblem prominently engraved on them. The main cannons were slightly lowered but always ready for a bombardment.

Everyone crowded near the porthole, eyes looking downwards as Montel Planet became clearer.

The planet was far larger than anticipated, with vast land covering over 80% of its surface and minimal traces of oceans. Large swathes of deep green forests were embedded in the land like emeralds, looking vibrant and full of life.

As the command ship descended, the outline of Base One became visible.

The military base was square, encased in a light blue energy shield, isolating it from the outside, protecting it from external attacks, and preventing unknown forest dangers from intruding.

Around the base stood hundreds of towering energy sentry towers, entirely black, each several dozen meters tall, topped with spherical energy detectors. Every few seconds, a pale purple pulse beam was emitted, quickly scanning every inch around the base, leaving nowhere for even hidden insects to flee.

The airship landed, the hatch opened.

As they disembarked, they saw rows of soldiers by the hatch.

The leader had graying hair but a resolute demeanor, his short hair neat and tidy, and his uniform exceptionally sharp on him.

”Elder Yun, everyone, allow me to introduce, this is the commander of our Celestial Fleet, Commander Luo Yu,” General Nangong began the introductions.

”Commander Luo, hello,” Elder Yun smiled slightly.

”Elder Yun, and everyone,”

Commander Luo stepped forward with a hearty laugh, ”Welcome to Montel Planet.”

Unlike the polite formality of General Nangong, Luo Yu was straightforward and full of energy; he easily drew people in. Judging from the respectful gazes around, Luo Yu was clearly a well-respected commander.

Commander Luo led the way, with Qin Tian following slightly behind Elder Yun.

”Truly a resource-rich planet~”

Qin Tian mused inwardly. He had a talent called [Metal Sensing], allowing him to sense all metals within a certain range.

The base itself had vast amounts of metal piled in warehouses, and extending his senses, he could feel numerous underground mineral veins. The higher the quality of the metal, the greater the stimulus to his senses.

Additionally, he sensed that the spatial elements on this planet were particularly active, at least several times higher than on other planets.
