Chapter 143 137 Fishing Boat

In the prisoner of war camp on Infia, Felix finally tasted what they called bread. Once the soft, sweet thing touched his mouth, Felix understood why it bewitched the commonfolk of Shangduohan so much.

Emerald Sea Star had no yeast organisms, and all their food consisted of hard biscuits and flatbreads as staples, naturally lacking the softness of bread. Moreover, Emerald Sea Star wasn't rich in sugar production; it didn't have Earth's sugar beet or sugarcane. The main sources of sugars were grains and a type of tree sugar.

For ordinary civilians, it was rare to taste sweet foods even once in their lifetime. The sugar content in the bread made them feel immense happiness.

The breakfast also featured sausages and scrambled eggs, along with pickled vegetables the people of Shangduohan had never tasted. Although the meat and eggs were rationed, the bread was unlimited, so many prisoners would eat until their stomachs gave out when they first arrived at the camp.

Felix, eating the sausages and scrambled eggs, indeed found them tasty, but couldn't shake off a strange feeling. Being from the upper class," he could differentiate the flavors, which were not unfamiliar to him. The commoners, who had hardly eaten such "noble food," couldn't distinguish what these should taste like.

In fact, the people of Iridium Star had no intention of providing a large amount of fresh meat and eggs; the sausages and eggs were synthetic, created by Atomic Substance Construction devices that manipulated atoms to form various materials. The people of Iridium Star also consumed such food which, nutrition-wise, wasn't much different from naturally grown food.

However, there was always a subtle difference in taste.

Later on, Iridium Star directly used synthetic food to produce exploration and military nutriments, which were eaten under circumstances where it wasn't convenient to supply fresh items.

After finishing his meal in the camp canteen, Felix lined up with other prisoners as Pi Xin told him it was time to start work. Felix hadn't thought that he, a distinguished commander of the Black Flag Fleet, would end up as a laborer.

In another line, he spotted his beloved young man, Jiye, and rushed over excitedly, asking, "My Jiye, are you alright?"

Jiye, equally thrilled to see Felix, replied, "Sir, I am fine."

Pi Xin also laughed at this time, "I thought fishing would be more tiring than street sweeping. Now it seems even more relaxing, although the sun is a bit harsh, the sea breeze feels quite comfortable."

The fishing boat trawled the net slowly on the sea surface, while the Supervisor, holding a telescope, spotted something on the distant sea horizon.

Then, a planetary landing craft whizzed past in the sky, and Felix even shivered involuntarily. That was the thing that had turned his Black Flag Fleet into a pile of wood and debris.

The Supervisor put down the telescope and handed it to Pi Xin, who had gained a little status in the prisoner labor team.

"Look, is that a Miryua ship?"

Pi Xin carefully received the telescope with both hands. Anything from the Iridium Star people was incredibly precious, and he was afraid of damaging it.

Holding the telescope, Pi Xin immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Supervisor, it's flying Miryua's flag and also another flag indicating it's harmless."

Unlike the customs on Earth, people on the Northern Continent of Emerald Sea used striped flags to denote surrender or harmlessness. It is said that it started when people, defeated early on, tore their clothes into strips and hung them as flags, a tradition that has persisted to this day.

Upon hearing this, Felix's mind churned with different thoughts. The Miryua Empire was nominally the suzerain of the kingdoms of the Northern Continent, but in reality, no one obeyed the Emperor of Miryua's commands. Three years ago, Emperor Adrian VII of Miryua died mysteriously, without a designated heir.

The three princes, with the support of the Four Great Kingdoms, waged a war of succession, which nearly swept across the entire Northern Continent.

In the end, with the Four Great Kingdoms at their wits' end, all three princes were killed, and Shangduohan troops took the capital of Miryua, Ekuia. Miryua was divided among the Four Great Kingdoms.

Why would a Miryua ship appear here, at this place, at this moment?
