This is not mechanical ascension.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ming asked again: "Asmara is the conductor?"

Ford nodded: "The combined fleet has Asmara as the commander-in-chief and my father, Prince Baijan, as the deputy commander. It has assembled fleets from thirty-two civilizations."

"They are all acquaintances." Li Ming couldn't help but sigh, "Are you going to do military service?"

Ford's face darkened, "My military theory is full marks after all. What does mixed military merit mean?"

Military merit is the most valuable merit and can easily be promoted.

However, the Silver Star Cluster has been quiet in recent years. There have been almost no large-scale wars, and it is difficult to obtain military glory.

Perhaps out of guilt, he further added: "This time I took the opportunity to launch a campaign against the Torch Organization. There are indeed many people who want to join the United Fleet and get some credit."

"But I'm different from them. I have commanding experience."

Hearing this, Li Ming did not argue with him, but said perfunctorily: "Hmm..."

Seeing Li Ming's perfunctory attitude, Ford felt depressed and couldn't help but said: "I'm not kidding you. My sandbox simulation results ranked third among the three previous exams."

Although he is a young man, Ford rarely has a desire to compare. Even for a royal child like Isius who is better than him, he rarely proves anything in front of the other party.

Because the other party can mobilize more resources than him, so it is natural for them to be better than him.

But facing Li Ming, it was different. This kid was too defiant, and he always felt frustrated. He always wanted to regain his position and didn't want to be looked down upon.

"Awesome, awesome..." Li Ming nodded and asked, "How long will it take for the combined fleet to arrive at the Land of the Stars?"

Ford shook his head unhappily, "I don't know either."

Facing Li Ming's calm eyes, Ford subconsciously dodged and forced himself to hold out his chest, "I really don't know that the goal of the combined fleet is not to wipe out the land of stars, but the Torch Organization."

"And now, there is no accurate intelligence to prove that the headquarters of the Torch Organization is in the Land of the Stars."

"It does control many outlying bases of the Torch Organization. We must first clean up those bases, complete the shock to the Silver Star Cluster, and make sure we can't find the headquarters before heading to the Land of the Stars."

Li Ming thought thoughtfully, the goal of the combined fleet is the Torch Organization, more precisely, it is to make up for the damage caused by the Torch Organization to the Etlan civilization.

This fleet will obviously have to show off its power for a long time and complete all military, strategic and political goals.

"By the way, the Torch Organization has been in contact with the Great Mechanic recently. It seems that they want to build something. You may be able to start from this aspect and find the headquarters of the Torch Organization." Li Ming mentioned this matter and did not mind adding something to the Torch Organization. Click block.

"We also know about this." Ford's eyes flickered and he sighed: "However, the great mechanics that the Torch Organization has contacted are not from the Silver Star Cluster, so it is difficult for us to ask them to cooperate."

Li Ming thought for a while and then asked: "I can confirm that a great mechanic has been invited and is currently in the Land of Stars. Do you want to contact him?"

"Oh?" Fred said excitedly, "Who?"

"Jesiah..." Li Ming spit out a name, and Ford seemed to be familiar with it. He immediately said: "Silver Meteor, Mechanical Knight Bathed in Fire, Great Mechanic—Jesiah?"

Li Ming was at a loss for a moment, what the hell, such a long list?

"He actually accepted the invitation from the Torch Organization." Ford obviously didn't know the news and couldn't help frowning: "In addition, Torch has already invited three great mechanics. What do they want to do?"

"Alas..." Ford sighed again, "You may not know that the reason why Jesiah took the path of mechanical transformation was precisely because of us."

"A knight bathed in fire is bathed in the fire of our Etlan. It is basically impossible to come into contact with him."

Having said this, he glanced at Li Ming quickly and said, "It is very difficult to determine the headquarters of the Torch Organization. Unless there are mechanics working together inside and outside, it may be possible."

"The Torch Organization also covets you, and you are our common enemy."

Li Ming narrowed his eyes, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Your teacher? That great mechanic, have you accepted the invitation?" Ford asked tentatively.

Li Ming chuckled, "It turned out to be this idea. I won't hide it from you. My teacher did receive the invitation, but he had no interest in getting involved with the Torch Organization and refused."

"Rejected?" Ford was a little surprised and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that your mechanics teacher has a great background. He can even ignore the remains of the Ascendants."

Remains of the Ascended?

Li Ming's heart moved slightly. What Ford meant was that the mechanical master who was invited to come had access to the relics of the Ascended Ones?

The Torch Organization should not be so kind and share it for free.

They need something made by the great machinist, which may be the key to entering the ruins. Li Ming guessed, thoughtfully, no wonder it can attract so many great machinists.

If this is the case... the beam of light that just hit the planet seemed to have hit Li Ming's mind. A sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Is your combined fleet making such a big noise really just for the Torch Organization?"

Ford's face froze slightly, and then quickly calmed down, "What do you mean?"

Li Ming stared at Ford closely: "You don't want to use the power of the entire Silver Star Cluster to help you obtain the Ascended Relics, do you?"

Damn it, Ford cursed secretly, why did this bastard guess it again?

"What a plan." Li Ming became more and more sure that his guess was correct.

The death of Isius gave Yitlan an honest reason to assemble the joint fleet. Although their family is the only one, the power of other civilizations cannot be underestimated.

There is nothing better than using the strength of others to do your own thing.

"Alas..." Ford neither admitted nor denied, but just sighed: "You really shouldn't leave. When you leave, not only Asmara, but also my father and the senior royal family will be dissatisfied with you."

He felt more and more pity that Li Ming would have accomplished a lot if he was civilized in Etlan.

"That teacher of yours can't protect himself."

Li Ming chuckled, "There's nothing wrong or wrong. I'm not you. They won't train me unconditionally."

Ford shook his head. This was an irresolvable conflict. It was impossible for Etlan to cultivate an uncontrolled A-level life form.

On the screen, Ford's eyes moved slightly, and he gestured outside the screen, and then said half-jokingly, half-seriously:

"Let's do this for the time being. When the coalition forces go to the Land of Stars, I will inform you to leave as soon as possible. It will be bad if you encounter them on the battlefield."

The last thing Ford saw before the screen went off was the inexplicable smile on Li Ming's face.

"The combined fleet will have to wait for a while, which is good news." Li Ming thought to himself, "It's just that the Collector's estimate was wrong. This time, the combined fleet will not leave easily."

He shook his head, drank a tube of development potion, and continued to develop gene seeds. Under the influence of [Gene Warrior]'s ability, various evolutionary theories worked together in his cells, and flames and cyan air currents surrounded his body.

Although he was developing quickly enough, he still felt it wasn't enough.

"It would be great to jump directly to 100%." ​​He sighed secretly. He has been looking for something that can directly improve the development progress, or improve the development progress sideways, but there are too few such things.

Early the next morning, Li Ming heard noises coming from outside, pushed the door open and walked out, his eyes changing slightly.

Among the floating islands, a dozen slender spaceships were seen heading towards the trading island. They were obviously standard fleets. The flags were painted with an upside-down dagger and a black pupil at the end.

"Night Eye Mercenary Group..." Li Ming frowned slightly. This is another big force in the Land of Stars. Their territory is far away from the Floating Island, so it is difficult to see them.

They are different from the Star Hunters. They are mainly employed by big forces and civilizations, and sometimes even accept war-level employment.

The overall strength should be the land of stars, the most capable of fighting, and all the team members under his command are managed in a military style.

The soldiers patrolling nearby pointed at it, looking quite surprised.

"It's actually someone from Night Eyes. I may not see them even once in several months, but this time they came with great fanfare."

"There is an agreement among the major forces in the Power of the Stars that they are not allowed to enter other people's territory casually. There must be something big happening this time."

Li Ming opened the local network of the smart terminal. There were many people discussing this matter, and Li Ming soon found the reason.

"It is said that the guy who robbed the Night Eye Mercenary Group's valuables has not been found yet. The Night Eye boss became anxious and asked several other major forces in the Land of Stars to join forces to search for him."

"That incident..." Li Ming recalled that a few days ago, there was a lot of news about the Night Eye mercenary group losing things.

He paid a little attention, and the A-level life form personally took action, but it hasn't been found yet?

"I don't know what I lost, but I seem to be in a hurry." Li Ming muttered, but didn't take it to heart. He turned around and went back to develop gene seeds.

However, what surprised him was that within a few hours, the collector actually came.

Ulrich looked at the mechanical body working on the floating island with calm eyes. He didn't care what the other person was doing on the floating island, as long as he completed what he needed.

"Your Excellency Collector." Li Ming came out to greet him and noticed the bearded man behind Ulrich wearing blue heavy combat armor with the Night Eyes logo on the armor.

Ulrich nodded and followed Li Ming to the simple reception room, then pointed at the bearded man and introduced: "This is the captain of the Night Eyes Mercenary Group - Lelian."

"Your Excellency Leilian." Li Ming greeted, and Leilian responded with a loud voice: "Your Excellency Qinglong."

Ulrich said: "He came here mainly because Night Eyes lost something. Their leader, Theo, was very anxious and asked me to help investigate. There is some friendship between us."

"Your Excellency Leilian, you don't think that the person who stole the things is here, do you?" Li Ming frowned slightly.

Ulrich shook his head: "That's not the case. I promised to help them investigate. The port has ordered them to go down. The most important thing now is to determine whether the person who stole the things is hiding inside."

Leillian said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Qinglong, please let everyone on this island come over."

Li Ming's frown deepened. He wasn't going to take off the mimicry mask, was he?

Was it really a lost item, or could Ulrich just couldn't help but determine their origin?

Ulrich added, "Just compare their blood."

"Blood comparison?" Li Ming thought for a moment, "Okay."

Immediately, he called Yaro and Kai, each squeezed out a drop of blood, and compared it on the instrument.

Leillian raised his head to make sure he was not the target, and his eyes fell on Li Ming again.

"He won't need it, I can guarantee it." Ulrich took the initiative, and Li Ming was slightly surprised.

Lelian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Are you sure there are only these two people on the floating island?"

"Not bad." Li Ming nodded. Yaro and Kai didn't know what they were doing yet, so they were careful and vigilant.

Lelian walked out, as if to conduct a thorough inspection of the entire floating island.

"There's such a big commotion..." Li Ming asked Yaro and the others to leave, and asked Ulrich to sit down.

Ulrich smiled, "After all, I lost something. The leader of Night Eyes, Gray Eyes - Theo, has a very bad temper."

"What's missing?" Li Ming was a little curious. It's definitely not easy to make an A-level life form anxious.

"It's a small thing, not worth mentioning." Ulrich had no intention of further explanation, but rather gloated: "This time Theo overturned the car and let a B-class life form steal the thing and run away. Out."

Li Ming was not surprised to learn that it was a B-level life form that did it. If it was an A-level life form, it would have run away by now or started a fight instead of hiding.

"Then this B-level life form should be very powerful." Li Ming agreed.

Ulrich continued: "Yes, this B-level life form is extremely good at disguise, and its speed is extremely fast. None of the B-level life forms in the Night Eye Mercenary Group can catch up with him."

"Oh?" Li Ming frowned, "There shouldn't be many people like this."

"Indeed, there are not many. It is said that it is the Hidden Shadow Star Thief - Serad. This person is active in the Sophia Star Cluster. He works alone. He has extremely high stealing skills and has committed many cases." Ulrich said:

"The biggest incident before was the theft of the Gutria crystal diamond. His gene seed was biased toward speed, and the B-level gene seed was the rare [Quantum Light and Shadow Lizard]."

"Quantum light and shadow lizard?" Li Ming felt a little familiar.

"You also know?" Ulrich caught the change in Li Ming's expression and continued:

"It is the race of natural spies that were exterminated by the Etlan civilization and several other advanced civilizations. They use their genes to modulate gene seeds and can perform mimicry disguises."

"At least, just from the appearance, it is difficult to see through A-class life forms, and ordinary detection equipment is even more useless. It is quite powerful. Many of the ace agents under Etlan have fused with it."

After the clan was exterminated, they were then made into gene seeds, tsk... Li Ming sighed secretly.

While they were talking, Lelian had already searched almost completely and was sure that he had not found the suspect.

After returning, he specifically told Li Ming: "Your Excellency Qinglong, I think you have a lot of precious metal materials here. It's best to put them away and be careful not to throw them away."

Li Ming thanked him for the reminder. He thought Ulrich would also leave, but the collector stayed behind. After watching Leillian leave, he seemed to have something to say.
