Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 325: Sky Base (Five in One)

The next day, inside the dormitory balcony.

Su Ming was leaning against the window, talking on the phone with Zhao Ning.

"Son, the situation has been so chaotic lately, with wars going on outside every day. Are you okay over there? A few days ago, I received a call about checking my household registration. I guess they want to conscript men!"

"Haha, mother, don't worry, nothing can happen to me."

"I'm just worried about you. I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that you went to the battlefield."

"Don't think too much. I'm only a first-year student. How can I possibly go to the battlefield?"

Su Ming tried his best to comfort Zhao Ning.

"That's good."

When Zhao Ning heard this, his tense heart relaxed a little.

At this time, Su Yuan also came to the side of the phone and instructed Su Ming.

"You little brat, just study hard in school, flirt with girls, and don't worry about anything else. When you graduate, come back and inherit the family business!"

"Let's talk about this later, father and mother! I have to go to class soon, so I won't chat with you anymore."

Su Ming replied with a helpless smile.

"Okay, remember to wear more clothes and take care of yourself. Do you have enough money?"

"Enough."

"Okay, let's hang up then."

After Zhao Ning gave his instructions, he hung up the phone reluctantly.

"Whoo~"

Su Ming exhaled slightly and turned to walk towards the bed.

At this time, Rhine, Zhang Yi and Ankajia were browsing the forum and said to Su Ming.

"Squad leader, the situation seems a little bad!"

"what happened?"

Su Ming asked thoughtfully.

"The federal parliament has been slow to come up with a result, and the internet is going haywire, with people arguing everywhere."

Rhine explained it briefly.

Su Ming sat on the edge of the bed and logged into the Star Forum. Just as Rhine and the others had said, everything was a mess.

Everyone was arguing loudly up there.

Su Ming saw a post in which someone was blaming Sky City.

"You are too reckless. You shouldn't run out and fight the Imperial Army, let alone start a direct battle."

As a result, countless people from Sky City responded to the message.

"You really are talking without any concern. What was robbed was not your property, what was lost was not your territory, and the person who died was not your important person. Of course you can sit at home and make sarcastic remarks. If it was your territory that was in trouble, I think you would be more anxious than anyone else!"

"That is, if you weren't watching the show, would this be the result?"

"You still have the nerve to talk about us?"

Su Ming browsed the posts for a while, closed the forum with a headache, and said to Rhine and others.

"The husband has his own reasons, and the wife has her own reasons. It's hard to tell the difference."

"That makes sense. Speaking of which, the Sky City troops were actually quite brave. They actually destroyed a Level 5 mothership, Blood Mist, and a Level 5 battleship, Blood Shadow, of the Imperial Army. Even the Blood Edge Fortress was hit."

Rhine looked at the battle record of Sky City and couldn't help but praise it.

"It is indeed very brave, there is no doubt about that."

Su Ming replied calmly.

In fact, the Sky City and the Bloody Fang Legion have an irreconcilable hatred. When the enemies meet, they are naturally jealous of each other and will definitely fight to the death!
"Squad leader, many people are now denouncing Starlight City and Rain City. Many people think that the reason Sky City lost the battle is because the two cities did not send troops! Some people even said that Starlight City was as cowardly as a mouse, and in order to prevent its own troops from going to the battlefield, it sent troops out of the Federation in advance to the Abyss of the Fall."

Zhang Yi sighed with emotion.

"I saw that post, too. It was extremely popular. They said that if Starlight City wasn't so cowardly and sent that force to support them, Sky City's troops would not only be able to win, but might even be able to destroy the Blood Edge Fortress!"

Ankajia also came over and said.

"Things are not that simple. We can't just look at the surface. Judging from the current situation, this is a trap."

Su Ming replied calmly.

"The Sky City has been fooled. How unwise."

"It's not a question of whether it's wise or not. If you were robbed and someone was killed, and it was your sworn enemy, you would probably be more excited than them. This is obviously a trap set for Sky City."

"It seems so. What should we do now?"

Zhang Yi scratched his head and replied.

"Not sure, let's wait for the results from the parliament!"

Su Ming said calmly.
-
Three days later, in the Starlight City, Federal Government Administration Building, Dawn Hall 1.

Jakkers stood on the main parliamentary platform, and many members of the Faroun parliament came in one after another and took their seats.

Soon, time passed by second by second.

Everyone's heart was filled with anxiety. Whispers were heard in the originally quiet council hall.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

"Council President, you won't come out again, right?"

"Freeze said!"

"Gackers has already said that he will give a result today. No matter how late it is, we have to wait!"

At this time, Jakkers, who was standing on the main parliament platform, looked very calm, but he was also very worried in his heart. If he couldn't give these people an explanation today, the sky might really fall.

Fortunately, no one asked any questions. After all, this matter concerned the Speaker of the Parliament, and everyone waited patiently.

This shows that although a hundred years have passed, the President of the Parliament is still so great in everyone's heart.

At this moment, the tightly closed door of the parliament hall was slowly pushed open!
Farrow and others turned their heads to look at the opened door.

Jakkers also raised his head and looked over.

A girl wearing a dark blue star-patterned dress, with her lavender hair tied up with an exquisite golden phoenix hairpin and a silver metal mask on her face, walked in under the gaze of everyone.

In an instant, everyone in the venue stood up, even Faron and Alicia stood up and bowed slightly to the girl.

The girl walked along the main path and stepped onto the main council platform.

Jakkers took a deep breath, then stepped aside, leaving the parliament podium to the girl.

The girl bowed slightly to everyone and spoke calmly.

"Everyone, I am the spokesperson for the Speaker of the Parliament. The Speaker has ordered that I shall be speaking on his behalf."

When many parliamentarians at the scene heard the girl's words, their expressions became very excited.

"The Lord Council President has finally spoken!"

"Great!"

The expressions of Faron and Alicia suddenly became very serious, and they stared at the girl on the stage.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, the Federation is now in deep decline. This once greatest alliance is on the way to decline. We are now facing the most severe challenge in history. The Dark Star Empire has brought the flames of war to us. Our soldiers are fighting alone, and our people are roaring in resignation. However, what about us? We are arguing endlessly here. Now every second, our soldiers are dying. We can't go on like this. We must turn words into actions, gather strength, unite as one, and fight against the powerful enemy together."

"Then what should we do?"

Farron asked, staring at the girl.

"Convey the order of the Speaker of the Council to formally create the Thirteenth Legion, Xiguang. This legion will be formed by drawing personnel and reserve officers from various planets. It symbolizes unity, hope, and the rise of the Federation!"

The girl announced solemnly to everyone.

When everyone heard the girl's words, there was an uproar.

However, Xiao Lie and others said with dark faces.

"Forming a new army? What's the point? The old army can't win, so wouldn't the new army be courting death?"

"That's right!"

"This method won't work!"

Many members of parliament said this.

Faron and Alicia frowned extremely, and their expressions kept changing.

"Everyone please be quiet and listen to me."

The girl spoke to everyone.

The noisy council hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's attention was focused on the girl again.

"I will personally command the newly formed Thirteenth Legion. I promise everyone here that we will be able to defeat the Imperial Army and rescue our imprisoned compatriots!"

The girl made a solemn promise to everyone.

For a moment everyone was stunned and didn't know how to start. This was equivalent to issuing a military order.

At this time, the girl continued to speak to everyone.

"Of course, the establishment of the Thirteenth Legion requires the help of everyone present. I hope everyone can contribute money, manpower, and weapons! This is not only for the Federation, but also for everyone!"

"Okay, in that case! Sky City will be the first to support!"

Seeing that the other party had said so much, Faroun spoke directly.

"Full support!"

Jakkers, Alicia and others also spoke up to express their support!
"Very good, I officially declare that the Thirteenth Federation Legion, the Xiguang Legion, is established!"

"Follow the will of the Council President!"

Vice President Jakkers took the lead in agreeing and applauded.

All the members of parliament present followed suit and burst into warm applause.
-
City of stars.

All the outdoor holographic projection advertisements, TV stations, online news sites, and celebrity forums throughout the city.

All of them were replaced in an instant, and the latest announcement from the federal government was inserted.

"The federal government has passed a new resolution to select elite non-commissioned officers from various planets, call on retired officers and soldiers, recruit military academy students, and jointly form the Thirteenth Legion, the Xiguang Legion."

For a moment, pedestrians on the street stopped and looked up at the projected news in surprise.

"What's going on?"

"I heard it right. The Federation is going to form the Thirteenth Legion."

"My God!"

"What is this going to do?"

In an instant, the news of the establishment of the 13th Legion, the Xiguang Legion, spread to all regions and planets of the Federation, causing a huge sensation.

The next day, early in the morning.

The gate of Royal Court Academy.

Military vehicles drove in one after another and drove to the open space in the atrium under the surprised gaze of all the students.

The car door opened and an officer jumped out.

I saw these officers starting to set up tables in the open area in the atrium.

This is the serious voice of Vice Principal Fleck coming from the school radio.

"Students, please stop everything you are doing. I am now informing you of an important matter. The Supreme Council of the Federal Government has passed a decision. It officially announced the establishment of the 13th Legion, the Xiguang Legion. We now encourage students in the second grade and above who do not have a legion organization to sign up actively. First-year students can choose voluntarily."

Following the announcement, a large number of students gathered in the atrium.

Many students came forward to inquire about registration matters.

In addition, there were many students watching, and the entire atrium suddenly became very lively.

At this time, Su Ming and his classmates hurried to the courtyard.

"A lot of people."

Rhine and others looked at the registration site and said in surprise.

"It's normal. If there weren't so many people signing up, it would be really troublesome."

Su Ming replied in a deep voice.

"Squad leader, I saw someone say on the Internet that the Thirteenth Legion was established to rescue trapped troops."

An Qi said to Su Ming.

"Of course, otherwise why would we establish this legion at this time?"

Su Ming replied to An Qi very clearly.

"But they also said that the Federation established this legion just to die. You know, the old legion that has experienced hundreds of battles cannot defeat the Imperial Army. Isn't the newly established legion just cannon fodder?"

Angie said hesitantly.

"That's not without reason. This legion has to go to the battlefield as soon as it is established. There is not even a buffer period. It is normal for the entire army to be wiped out."

Rhine and his men were also not optimistic about this new legion.

When Su Ming heard this, his brows furrowed. The Thirteenth Legion was indeed less friendly than the other legions.

However, at this moment, a capable female officer wearing a second lieutenant's uniform, with short brown hair and many freckles on her face, came over with a letter and saluted Su Ming.

"Commander Su Ming!"

"you are?"

Su Ming saluted back and replied with a frown.

"Sir, I am Lieutenant Wang Qing from the military department. This is the military's conscription order. From now on, you will be assigned to serve in the 13th Corps."

Wang Qing handed the conscription order in his hand to Su Ming.

"it is good!"

Su Ming's expression did not change much. He stretched out his hand and took the conscription order.

From the moment the Federation officially announced the establishment of the Thirteenth Legion, Su Ming had anticipated this moment.

"Goodbye, sir."

Wang Qing bowed, turned and left.

At this time, Rhine and others were dumbfounded and asked in confusion.

"Squad leader, why were you drafted?"

"Yes, we were not conscripted!"

"What's going on?"

"That's normal. I've exchanged my military rank, but you haven't yet. So I won't recruit you. I'll just encourage you to sign up."

Su Ming explained with a smile.

"Fuck, that won't work! Since you, squad leader, have been drafted, I want to sign up too!"

Rhine stated without hesitation.

"I'll sign up too!"

Zhang Yi and others spoke up.

"And us, we also want to join the Thirteenth Legion with our squad leader!"

Many students shouted excitedly.

When Su Ming heard this, he smiled and said to everyone.

"Okay, but I have to go eat breakfast first, and we can talk while we eat."

"Ok!"

Everyone replied happily.

A moment later, in Canteen No. 1.

Su Ming and others sat around a dining table.

"Squad leader, what do you think the configuration of the newly established Thirteenth Legion will be?"

Zhang Yi asked excitedly.

"This legion is a regular legion, and they have to rush to the battlefield to provide support. I guess the configuration is not low, and the welfare benefits should be quite high!"

Su Ming thought for a moment and replied.

"Wow, that sounds great!"

Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Who cares about the benefits? We joined the Thirteenth Legion mainly to hang out with our squad leader. Even though we may not be assigned to the same group, we can work together to build a career, and if anything goes wrong, we still have our squad leader to protect us!"

Rhine said happily.

"That's right! Monitor, please take good care of me when the time comes!"

Ankajia quickly said to Su Ming.

"And I!"

Hamiu and others echoed excitedly.

Su Ming looked at his classmates and said with a smile.

"not worried!"

At this moment, Matthew's cell phone in class suddenly rang.

Matthew glanced at the number, picked up the phone and spoke.

"Mom, why are you calling me suddenly? What's the matter?"

"Son, I heard that the Thirteenth Legion is recruiting people, you must not go!"

"Why? Our whole class has to go!"

"You are not allowed to go. That army is just going to die. It has spread all over the internet."

"No, I've already agreed with my classmates, and being a soldier is always dangerous!"

"Woo woo! I agreed to let you join the army, but I didn't ask you to die! I worked so hard to raise you, and you are so cruel."

"No, it doesn't matter which legion you serve in. Why not the Thirteenth Legion?"

Matthew stood up angrily and walked to the corner with his phone.

At this time, the classmates' cell phones started ringing one by one, and as expected, all of them were calls from home.

They picked up the phone and started chatting with their parents.

"Father, listen to me, the Internet is full of scams."

"This is my own decision. Please don't interfere. I am an adult now."

"If I was afraid of danger, I wouldn't have come to this school in the first place."

When Rhine and others saw this scene, the smiles on their faces suddenly faded, revealing very complicated expressions.

At this time, Matthew came over dejectedly and said to Su Ming with great guilt.

"Sorry, squad leader, my family really won't let me sign up for the Thirteenth Legion, and I'm trying to kill myself."

"It's okay. I understand."

Su Ming quickly comforted Matthew, saying that not everyone can withstand the pressure at home.

At this time, classmates came over one after another and spoke to Su Ming with great apology.

"I'm sorry! Squad leader, that..."

"Don't say more, I understand! Don't put too much pressure on yourself, they are doing this for your own good."

Su Ming said to many classmates.

"Thank you, monitor."

Everyone replied with complicated expressions.

The lively and exciting atmosphere was instantly destroyed.

At this moment, Rhine's cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed the word "Father".

Su Ming and others looked at Rhine.

As a result, Rhine took a look at his phone, turned it off and threw it on the dining table.

"It's done!"

"666!"

Zhang Yi immediately gave Rhine a thumbs up.

"Tsk, I've already told you, wherever the squad leader goes, I'll go too!"

Rhine replied casually.

At this time, the cell phones of Zhang Yi, Ankajia, Ailu and others also rang.

However, Zhang Yi and others turned off their phones without hesitation, threw them on the table, and said proudly.

"Who wouldn't?"

"Pretty!"

When Rhine saw Zhang Yi and others doing this, he smiled.

At this time, Su Ming stood up and spoke rationally to many classmates.

"Everyone, listen to me!"

"Squad leader, you go ahead."

"It is indeed more dangerous to join the Thirteenth Legion, because this legion will soon go to the battlefield. Your family members are doing this for your own good! So I don't want to embarrass you. Those who can join can join, and those who can't join don't mind. I can understand. We are classmates in the same class, and we are comrades who share life and death together!"

"Ah."

The students present responded with red eyes.

Su Ming turned and said to Rhine.

"Rhine, go buy some wine, let's have a drink together today!"

"it is good!"

Rhine nodded in response.

The next morning, in the dormitory.

Su Ming began to pack his luggage and would head to the hangar in the afternoon.

"Why do I feel like there are so many things that they can't even fit in one suitcase?"

Zhang Yi looked at the full suitcase and said with a headache.

"Why do you carry so much luggage?" Su Ming glanced at Zhang Yi and said.

"I'm afraid there's nothing on the ship, so I'd better bring some extra things to be prepared. By the way, can the squad leader bring some wine?"

Zhang Yi asked Su Ming curiously.

"Haha, I advise you not to bring it. Although some veterans in other legions bring wine, that is tacitly agreed by their legion commanders. We still don't know who our legion commander is. If he is a strict person, he will punish you in a minute!"

Su Ming reminded Zhang Yi.

"That's it."

Zhang Yi took out two bottles of white wine from the suitcase.

dong dong!

At this time, someone knocked on the dormitory door.

"Who?"

Su Ming walked over and opened the door.

I saw a courier boy pulling a box with bunches of white flowers in it.

"Hello, who ordered these flowers?"

"Flowers? Did you order them, Rhine?"

Su Ming turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Yes, we ordered it. Please sign for it."

Rhine shouted at Su Ming.

Su Ming immediately wrote his name on the receipt, then brought the flowers in and asked in confusion.

"Why did you order so many flowers? Are you going to make a collective confession to someone?"

"What? Before we set off, we have to go to the cemetery and worship the God of Victory, and ask him to bless us with a triumphant return!"

Rhine explained to Su Ming.

When Su Ming heard what Lai Rhine said, his body stiffened for a moment, and then he replied calmly.

"When did you start believing that?"

"We don't really believe in it, but it's a custom and many people who join the army have to go. We just want to go and pay our respects and ask for blessings!"

Rhine explained to Su Ming.

"Squad leader, let's go together!"

Ankajia said to Su Ming.

"No, I didn't buy flowers either."

Su Ming immediately shook his head and replied.

"Don't worry, we bought you an extra bouquet."

"forget it."

"Don't be such a bummer, let's go together!"

"Yes, we have already discussed it with Anqi and the others!"

Rhine and others tried their best to persuade him.

"I still don't really want to go, how about you guys go?"

Su Ming replied with a very complicated expression.

"Goodbye, let's go!"

Ankajia immediately pulled Su Ming to go along.

"Yes, together!"

Rhine and others quickly picked up the flowers and pushed Su Ming over.

"Ugh!"

Su Ming sighed and followed Lai Yin and others out of the dormitory.

Soon they came downstairs and saw Ailu and others holding flowers, having been waiting for a long time.

There are fifty people in the whole class, and a total of thirty of them signed up for the 13th Legion.

This number is very shocking. Although the benefits offered by the Thirteenth Legion are better than those of the previous legions, the recruitment of soldiers in the Imperial Court Academy is not very ideal.

Most of them are compulsorily recruited according to military ranks, and the number of voluntary applicants is still very small.

After all, students graduating from the Imperial Court Academy do not have any choice like those from other schools; they can easily enroll in various legions.

"The squad leader is here, let's go quickly."

Elu and others said happily.

"Ah."

Su Ming did not spoil the fun for everyone and nodded slightly in agreement.

Soon after.

Su Ming and others came to the cemetery.

The usually deserted cemetery has become much more lively.

Many students among them walked towards the open space where the statue of Haggis was.

Su Ming and others followed.

When they came to the open space where the statue was, they saw that there were many flowers in front of the statue.

One by one, the seniors walked forward, prayed devoutly to the stone statue, and then put down the flowers in their hands.

Su Ming looked at this scene and his expression became more silent, but he still lined up quietly with Rhine and others.

Soon it was their turn. Su Ming and others stepped forward one by one, put down the flowers in their hands, and bowed slightly.

After doing all this, Su Ming led everyone out of the cemetery in silence.

He said to An Qi and others.

"We're leaving this afternoon, so make sure you pack everything!"

"Ok!"

"Also, when you leave, no matter if your family agrees or not, send them a message to let them know. Don't leave any regrets!"

"it is good!"

Rhine and others nodded in response.

In the afternoon, in the hangar area of ​​the Imperial Academy.

Su Ming controlled the Killer and walked towards the gathering point.

Rhine and Ankajia were controlling the mecha, holding the packaging boxes containing Red Slaughter and Lancer, and following behind Su Ming.

Soon they arrived at the assembly point, where they saw Zhang Yi and others driving mechas and waiting in line for a long time.

As for Matthew and others, they also came. They looked at Su Ming and others and said goodbye with heavy hearts.

"Be careful on the road, and make sure you come back safely!"

"Okay, bye!"

Su Ming controlled the Killer Mech and flew up into the sky.

Rhine and others controlled their mechas and jumped up, following closely behind Su Ming.

Looking down from a high altitude, you can see mechas taking off continuously from the hangar area of ​​the Imperial Academy.

Su Ming input a series of commands into the mecha, and a prompt popped up on the operating screen.

"Military navigation route planning successful, destination: Yukong Base!"

Su Ming then pulled the joystick and controlled the mecha to fly forward along the virtual route. Soon he led the team out of the teaching area and arrived above the plantation.

Everyone looked down and saw golden wheat fields.

In the golden wheat field, students in work clothes carefully harvested wheat with sickles, bending down from time to time to pick up the fallen grains.

At this time, a student heard the noise, raised his head and looked up at the sky, quietly watching the groups of mechas flying by.

At this time, Su Ming controlled the mecha and led the team along the virtual guidance route. Soon they came to the end and saw an exit made of a metal frame on the barrier of the Dorag Sphere.

There are two Iron Guard mechas guarding the exit.

When they saw Su Ming and others flying over, they all controlled their mechas, raised their hands and saluted.

Su Ming and the others responded by greeting each other and passed through the exit in an orderly manner.

They continued to fly forward, passing over the small Dorag spheres in the suburbs.

Not long after, Su Ming and others flew away from the Starlight City.

Rhine and others turned their heads and looked back at the extremely prosperous Star City behind them, and their hearts were also touched.

Once they leave this city, they will have to embark on a journey, not knowing when they will be able to come back alive.

"Squad leader, do you think we can win this war?"

"Not sure. It depends on our commander and the configuration of the corps."

Su Ming was also unsure.

"Ah, no!"

"But you don't have to worry. Since the big shots above dare to form a new army to rescue, they should be able to do it with some confidence."

"Too."

When Rhine and others heard this, they all nodded in response.

"Okay, let's speed up and reach the Sky Base as soon as possible."

Su Ming said this and then sped up along the planned route.

Rhine and others followed Su Ming closely.

At this time, on the road below, buses were running at high speed, carrying students and soldiers who were about to join the army.

They looked through the window at Su Ming and others flying in the sky and said enviously.

"It's a group of mechas!"

"I'm so envious. If I had known, I would have signed up for the mecha major!"

"Okay, the reward for the mecha department is not that easy!"

Swish!
Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Su Ming and others controlled the mechas and flew past at an extremely fast speed.

Not long after, Su Ming and others saw many scattered second-generation mechas appearing in the distance, and these mechas were flying in the same direction as them.

It is obvious that these mechas are all heading to the sky base.

At this time, these mechas also discovered Su Ming and others, and they exclaimed one by one in the public channel.

"Oh my god, there are so many mechas in that group?"

"Not just a lot, you can see there are many third generation mechas among them!"

"Lance Knight, Blue Wing, oh my god! There's even a falcon?"

"Awesome! These guys even stole mechas from the Imperial Army?"

"What's so awesome about that? Look at the mecha leading the way."

"I don't recognize that mecha. I can't tell what model it is. I've never seen this style before."

"You are stupid, that is a custom-made machine, super expensive, one is equivalent to several third-generation mechas!"

Rhine and others listened to the discussions in the public channel and said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Squad leader, they are talking about you!"

"Ok, I know."

"Why don't you say something?"

Zhang Yi instigated.

"Not interested in."

Su Ming replied without much interest.

"Squad leader, don't be so arrogant!"

"Yeah! Tease them, there are several girls in there!"

Rhine and others said with laughter.

"Go cool down."

Su Ming replied with a smile on his face.

More than three hours later.

Su Ming and others arrived at the outer area of ​​the Sky Control Base.

From a distance, they saw a yellowish Dorag ball covering an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers.

Su Ming led the Rhine people and flew in through the metal frame entrance in the air.

A very old semicircular base made of metal with damaged surface coating came into view.

On the edge of the base are dilapidated factory-style warehouses.

"Oh my god, why does this base look so shabby?"

Zhang Yi said in confusion.

"I remember this air base. It seems to have been sealed for a long time due to aging equipment. This should be a temporary activation."

Rhine said with some impression.

Ankaja replied somewhat nervously.

"No way, it's temporarily activated? Is the equipment inside working? Don't let the life support device fail when you go back to sleep, that would be ridiculous!"

"It should be fine. If you're really worried, just keep wearing the exoskeleton armor."

Su Ming said to them with a smile.

"It can only be the!"

Zhang Yi and others responded helplessly.

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore, let's prepare to land in the mecha docking area."

Su Ming, Zhang Yi and others landed in an empty parking area in front of the base.

Different models of second-generation mechas were landing in the entire area.

Soldiers wearing iron-shell exoskeleton armor are guiding the landing mechas in an orderly manner to different factory-style warehouses.

At this time, Su Ming led Rhine and others and landed.

Bang!
A series of dull sounds spread.

The people around heard the sound and looked over, and immediately exclaimed.

"Oh my god, there are so many third-generation mechas, and the leading mecha is a custom-made one. Who is this commander?"

"I don't know, it's too awesome."

The landing of Su Ming and others also caused a small sensation.

At this time, several soldiers hurried over and spoke to Su Ming and the others.

"Commander, please move your mechas to the warehouse at 6 o'clock. We can't dock here, and there will be a steady stream of mechas coming over later!"

"Okay, follow me!"

Su Ming replied straightforwardly.

Those who arrived first all brought their own mechas, but not every mecha pilot has his own mecha, especially students from other academies.

In this case, the Legion needs to equip them with mechas, so large quantities of mechas will definitely be delivered later.

It is worth noting that there are great benefits to bringing a mecha into the army.

First, as long as the mechas you carry are damaged due to the legion’s combat missions, the legion will repair them and compensate for the damage!
Second, personnel carrying mechas are generally appointed as captains or deputy captains, and their starting point is higher than that of people of the same level.

Third, the salary and welfare benefits of personnel carrying mechas will also be higher.

Just as Su Ming and his companions were walking towards the warehouse, a gray light came at high speed from a distance.

Su Ming and others were startled and turned to look over.

I saw a huge figure hovering in the air for a short period of time, and then slowly falling to the ground!

bang~
With a loud noise, the hardened ground broke apart due to lack of maintenance over the years.

A 27-meter-tall fourth-generation mecha Shadow Killer, covered with dense gray-patterned metal armor, with hidden particle cannons embedded in its hands, two particle lightsabers in its hands, two pairs of gray mechanical wings embedded on its back, and a black star painted on its chest, appeared in front of everyone.

At that moment, everyone in the entire area was excited and spoke excitedly on the public channel.

"Fourth Generation Mecha: Shadow Killer!"

"Who is this boss?"

"Awesome!"

"I know him, he is Kafu, a fourth-year senior at Imperial Court Academy!"

"So it's him. I remember he was serving in the First Legion? He was unexpectedly transferred here."

"My guess is that he came back for vacation and was conscripted."

"Is this okay?"

"Wow, a fourth generation mecha. I'm so envious!"

Rhine and others were drooling at the sight.

If the third-generation mecha and the second-generation mecha are a watershed, then the fourth-generation mecha is a natural barrier that is difficult to cross.

Basically, most mecha pilots would stop at the third generation mecha, because starting from the fourth generation, it was not something that could be bought with money alone, and it was also very demanding on the pilots.

Because of the super neural device, not everyone can control it.

"Let's go. One day we will be able to drive a fourth-generation mecha."

Su Ming said with great confidence.

"Ok!"

Rhine and others immediately followed Su Ming and walked towards the warehouse.

Soon, Su Ming and others parked all the mechas in the warehouse.

They opened the cockpits one by one and jumped out of the mechas.

"Captain, what are we going to do next?"

Rhine and others came over and asked.

"Report to the base and accept the arrangements of the Legion!"

"it is good!"

"follow me."

Su Ming led them out of the warehouse and walked towards the main gate of the base.

Along the way, Su Ming and others saw buses driving in, full of people.

Bang! Bang!
At this time, a group of railway trucks carrying containers passed by.

Although the exterior of the entire base is very old, it is very lively and you can hear the shouts of veterans from time to time.

"Don't pile up the supply boxes here, move them to Warehouse No. 4 at the base!"

"Hey, hey! Be careful when carrying it! Don't let your eyes grow on your butt!"

"Squad leader, this service seems to be quite interesting."

Zhang Yi came up to Su Ming and said.

"Interesting? You should be thankful that your credits are high enough. If you were an ordinary soldier joining the army, you would know what interesting is!"

Su Ming said with a smile.

"Isn't it?"

"You will understand later. I also want to remind you. After you officially serve in the army, military law is very strict. You must not disobey military orders. If you have any trouble, come to me."

"it is good."

Rhine and others responded nervously.

Soon Su Ming and others arrived at the gate of the base, only to see soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor and iron shells standing upright on both sides, looking at them solemnly, motionless!
Although the Thirteenth Legion recruited a large number of students, its main skeleton personnel were drawn from the local armies, reserve forces, and the twelve major legions of each planet.

After all, it would not work if a legion were to employ only newcomers, as that would definitely cause problems.

The students and recruits recruited were mostly used as flesh and blood.

Of course, a situation like Su Ming's is very rare.

At this time, Su Ming and others entered the base hall.

The whole hall was very lively, with long queues forming.

All recruits must line up to report, and the officer in charge of reception will assign them.

I saw loud voices one after another.

"Zhou Dong, rank corporal! Assigned to the 13th Corps, the 26th Squadron, the 77th Squadron's Logistics Group. Go and meet up with Lieutenant Chen Li, he will arrange your specific matters."

"Squad leader, which team are we in?"

Rhine and others asked blankly.

"This way!"

Su Ming glanced around and then led the team towards a group with fewer people.

There were thirty of them, lined up directly at the back of the team.

At this time, Su Ming heard the conversation between the men in front of him.

"I'm so nervous. I heard that after joining the army, the officers are super strict. I don't know if it's true?"

"It's true. I heard that if you don't do it well or make a mistake, you'll get kicked at the very least, or you'll be taken out and scolded if it's serious."

"How to clean it up?"

"What else can I do? Just asking you to do a thousand push-ups will be enough to deal with you."

"Oh my, why am I so unlucky? It's ok that I won the bid by drawing the red or black lottery, but I was also assigned to the 13th Legion. I heard that this legion is for people to die."

"Shhh, stop talking!"

When Su Ming heard this, he also showed a strange expression. It seemed that many people here came here by drawing red and black lots.
