Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 326 Preparation (Five in One)

A moment later, it was Su Ming's turn in the queue.

The person in charge of reporting was a young man wearing a second lieutenant's uniform. He lowered his head and wrote on the form and shouted.

"Next!"

"Here, this is my recruitment letter!"

Su Ming took out the conscription letter and handed it to the man in front of him.

Lieutenant Li Yin took the conscription letter and took a look at it. He was shocked and immediately stood up and saluted Su Ming!

"Sir!"

"Well, I'm here to report."

Su Ming nodded slightly and replied.

"Uh, sir, you didn't report here. I can't process it here."

"Where do I report then?"

"Go over there and report to the first room."

Lieutenant Li Yin quickly stretched out his hand and pointed the direction for Su Ming.

"What about them?"

Su Ming pointed at Rhine and others.

"Are they officers too?"

Second Lieutenant Li Yin was also shocked. There were at least dozens of people.

"Ok!"

Su Ming nodded in response.

Second Lieutenant Li Yin hurried forward and verified the identities and information of Rhine and others one by one.

At this time, the people queuing nearby were also amazed when they saw this scene and talked about it in a low voice.

"Oh my god, so many officers?"

"You are stupid, they are all from the Imperial Court Academy, they must be officers!"

"Oh, I'm so envious! If I had known earlier, I would have studied hard and been admitted to the Imperial Court Academy!"

"What are you daydreaming about? Don't you know how difficult it is to get into that school? If you failed the first time, you won't be able to get in even if you try again."

"It seems so!"

At this time, Lieutenant Li Yin verified the identities of Rhine and others, and hurriedly said to Su Ming.

"They are all second lieutenants and can report to me!"

"Well, Rhine, you guys report here, and I'll report over there."

Su Ming said to Rhine and others.

"it is good!"

Rhine responded immediately.

Su Ming then turned and walked towards the registration room.

Li Yin looked at Su Ming's leaving back and asked Rhine curiously.

"Brother, what is the relationship between that officer and you?"

"Our squad leader!"

"I'll go, awesome!"

"of course!"

Rhine and others replied with a smile.

On the other side, Su Ming followed Li Yin's instructions and walked to a registration room with a half-open door.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

dong dong!

"Come in!"

A steady voice sounded.

Su Ming pushed open the door and walked straight in.

The registration room is simply furnished with some filing cabinets and a simple desk and chair.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a major's uniform, with graying hair and rough skin, was sitting in front of the desk.

He raised his head and looked at Su Ming, with a hint of surprise on his face. The young man who came in was too young. Normally, he shouldn't come here. This place is for senior military officers to report.

"Hello, I'm here to report!"

Su Ming said politely.

Major Zhang Rui was even more moved when he heard Su Ming's words. The other party did not call him "sir", which meant that he was at least at the same level as him, or even higher, so he stood up and said.

"Hello, could you please provide me with some information or documents?"

"Is this ok?"

Su Ming handed over the conscription letter.

Zhang Rui took it, looked at it, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to Su Ming and said.

"Major Su Ming, welcome to report. My name is Zhang Rui!"

"Hello there!"

Su Ming reached out and shook hands with Major Zhang Rui.

"Please wait a moment. I will handle the formalities for you."

Major Zhang Rui immediately took out a document and asked Su Ming to sign it.

After more than ten minutes, all the procedures were completed.

Major Zhang Rui took out a special instrument and scanned Su Ming's body.

"What is this doing?"

Su Ming asked curiously.

"I'll measure your body data and make a military uniform for you. Since you have only joined the military not long ago, there is no military uniform for you, so we need to rush to make it. But don't worry, it will be ready in the next few days!"

"It's ok."

"Oh, this is your officer ID card. And this is the latest military bracelet. Remember to bind your identity information. If there are any urgent tasks or notifications in the future, they will be conveyed through this bracelet."

Zhang Rui took out a bracelet and an ID card and handed them to Su Ming.

"Thank you, what should I do next?"

Su Ming asked immediately.

"I can't arrange the matters you are responsible for. Please go to Conference Room 1 for a meeting at o'clock tomorrow morning. A superior will make arrangements and assignments at that time."

"Row!"

"Also, you will temporarily live in Room 16, Block C. Here is the key."

Zhang Rui took out another key and handed it to Su Ming.

"Thank you, I'll leave first."

Su Ming took the key, turned around and left the registration room.

Zhang Rui looked at Su Ming's leaving back and sighed in a low voice.

"Youth are really something to behold. You are already on the same level as me at such a young age."

On the other side, Su Ming left the registration room and walked towards the hall. He wanted to see how Rhine and others were reporting.

At this moment, a hand reached out from behind and patted Su Ming's shoulder, followed by a familiar voice.

"Su Ming!"

Su Ming stopped in surprise and turned to look over.

I saw Gu Meng wearing a sergeant's uniform, standing in front of me with a happy expression on her face.

Qi Shen and Liu Xiao followed behind her as usual, both wearing corporal uniforms.

"Gu Meng."

Su Ming greeted in a calm tone.

"Isn't it a surprise? It's such a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you here!"

Gu Meng said very happily.

"It's really surprising."

Su Ming nodded slightly.

"You promised me last time that if we meet again, you would give me your phone number. Isn't it time to fulfill your promise now?"

Gu Meng looked at Su Ming expectantly.

Su Ming was also a little surprised when he heard Gu Meng's words. He didn't expect her to be so persistent, so he spoke.

“Okay, my phone number is.”

Gu Meng took out his cell phone and wrote it down, saying in a very good mood.

"I've made a note of it. I'll contact you later. I'm going to the gathering first!"

"it is good!"

Su Ming nodded in response.

Gu Meng then took Qi Shen and the other person away.

After they walked away, Qi Shen whispered to Gu Meng, who was smiling.

"Gu Meng, why did you ask for his phone number? I heard he's a scumbag."

"Yes, I heard that too. After he won the second prize in the three-school league, he became arrogant and changed his girlfriend every day."

At this time Liu Xiao also said seriously.

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard that the school beauty Lin Chuyu that he pursued before, later turned around and licked him, but she still got dumped in the end."

Qi Shen immediately defended himself.

"Shut up, I don't want to hear you say bad things about him."

Gu Meng said to Qi Shen and the other man very annoyed.

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Seeing Gu Meng getting angry, Qi Shen quickly spoke in a flattering manner.

Su Ming stood there, looking at the backs of Gu Meng and the other two, lost in thought.

At this time, Rhine and others came over in second lieutenant uniforms and said excitedly.

"Squad leader, what are you daydreaming about?"

"No, have you finished reporting?"

Su Ming turned his head to look at them and replied with a smile.

"Well, do you think we look handsome in this military uniform?"

Zhang Yi and others asked happily.

"quite handsome."

"Squad leader, why don't you change?"

"Mine needs to be custom made, a few days later!"

Su Ming briefly explained the reason.

At this time, Lieutenant Li Yin came hurriedly over with a stack of file bags. He first saluted Su Ming.

"Sir!"

"Ok!"

Su Ming nodded.

Second Lieutenant Li Yin then distributed file bags to Rhine and others, and spoke at the same time.

"Your assignment results are out. You will be assigned to different mecha combat units and serve as squadron leaders, commanding fifty mecha combatants. In the afternoon, you will go pick up your team members for reorganization. It would be best if you can train them!"

"Ah, we lead the team?"

Rhine and others replied in confusion.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Lieutenant Li Yin asked doubtfully.

"No, we are still students. Even if you ask us to lead a team, we have never done so before!"

Ankajia and others said in astonishment.

"Oh, it's everyone's first time. It's my first time doing this too!"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"Oh, there's always a first time, you'll get used to it slowly. I'm leaving now, they're so busy over there!"

After Li Yin finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

"Squad leader, what should we do now?"

Rhine and others looked at Su Ming with bitter faces.

Su Ming said to them with a smile.

"Okay, it's not a big deal, you have to believe in yourself! And being assigned the position of captain is not bad, at least you have some freedom. If you were assigned to be a team member under someone else, it would be really miserable, and you would probably be controlled to death."

"All right!"

After hearing Su Ming's words, Rhine and others had no choice but to accept the reality.

"Okay, let's put our luggage in the dormitory first."

Su Ming said to Rhine and others.

"it is good!"

Rhine and others nodded.

A moment later, Su Ming followed Rhine and others to their dormitory.

Their dormitory is also in Area C of the base, but there are five people in a room and the facilities in the room are very simple.

"It's OK, just make do."

Su Ming took a look and said.

"Squad leader, where is your dormitory?"

"just in front!"

"Show us around."

Rhine and others said curiously.

"Let's go!"

Su Ming then took Rhine and others to the door of his dormitory and opened it with his key.

A spacious room came into view, with only a bed, an en suite bathroom and a small balcony.

"I'm going to a private room. That's too much!"

Zhang Yi looked at Su Ming's room and couldn't help but complain.

"That's ridiculous. I've been sharing the same dormitory with you guys for so long, and now I can finally enjoy myself."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"This is just a joke!"

Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, go and rest up, you still have to pick someone up in the afternoon."

Su Ming reminded Rhine and others.

"Squad leader, we are really unsure. Can we be good captains? I feel so much pressure all of a sudden!"

Ankajia and others felt a little unsure.

Su Ming reached out and patted their shoulders and said.

"Everyone has to take the first step. You have to have confidence in yourself. If you don't know how to lead, use Teacher Mia's tactics and beat them up first to build up your prestige!"

"Uh, is this okay?"

"What's wrong with that? Just let them get wet the same way we got wet."

“That makes sense!”

When Rhine and others heard this, they all smiled happily.

"Okay, let's go!"

"okay!"
-
Old Milky Way, dark starry sky.

A fortress with a diameter of thousands of kilometers, covered with old black armor, with firing ports and gun muzzles on the surface, was floating silently.

Inside, in the silent metal corridor.

Dangdang Dangdang!
There was a sound of heavy footsteps.

I saw a purple-haired girl slowly walking out of the darkness. She was wearing a dark golden colonial armor. The whole set of colonial armor fit her body tightly, outlining her perfect curves.

Behind her followed a middle-aged man with a burly figure, bronze face showing the vicissitudes of life, deep eyes, thick eyebrows, and sword-like stars, wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general. And a man with an upright posture, clear facial features, slightly dark skin, gray hair on the temples, a resolute face, and wearing the uniform of a major general.

The three of them walked to the end of the passage and came to the central control door.

The door was wide open and it was very dark inside.

The purple-haired girl walked into the central control room with firm steps without any hesitation.

The entire central control is very spacious. In the center area is a hollow circular operating table. In front of the table is a raised command desk with a command chair on it.

The purple-haired girl walked to the central control console with two generals.

She reached out and touched the dusty central control console, a complicated look in her eyes.

"Miss, this fortress has been abandoned for so many years. Can it still be used?"

Lieutenant General Firion asked with some concern.

Major General Jon on the side also said.

"Yes, this fortress has been abandoned for at least a hundred years!"

"It should be possible. This Star Fortress is very excellent and has made great achievements in battle!"

After the purple-haired girl finished speaking, she reached into the console, found a special mechanical switch and pressed it.

Click!

The center of the console cracked, revealing a special mechanical groove.

At this time, the purple-haired girl took out a complex prismatic mechanical key and inserted it into the mechanical groove!

click!
The purple-haired girl turned the mechanical key.

Swish!
Countless stripes lit up on the entire operating console surface. Then, the entire wall of the central control room lit up with strips of light.

The virtual projection screen appeared instantly, with a prompt appearing on it.

"Sure, activate the Star Fortress!"

"start up!"

The girl moved her lips slightly and spoke.

The fusion device built into the Star Fortress was instantly activated and started operating.

Countless lights inside the fortress lit up, and various devices started operating.

The sensor indicators on the surface of the fortress began to flash.

"It started successfully, and it looks like it can still be used."

"So what do we do now?"

"Let the maintenance personnel come in and start the inspection!"

"Yes!"

The next day, at the Sky Base.

Su Ming walked towards Conference Room 1.

Every soldier he met along the way saluted Su Ming.

"Sir!"

Su Ming nodded slightly and continued walking forward.

Although Su Ming was not wearing a military uniform, this was the corridor leading to Conference Room 1, where those attending the meeting were all senior military officers.

Soon Su Ming walked to the door of the conference room.

The two soldiers in charge of guarding, wearing second-generation exoskeleton armor, saluted and then pushed open the door of the conference room.

Su Ming walked straight in.

Swish!
All eyes fell on him.

Su Ming glanced around the conference room with slight surprise.

There were dozens of officers sitting in the conference room, the highest-ranking of whom were two lieutenant colonels.

There was a lieutenant colonel among them whom Su Ming knew. This person was none other than Lieutenant Colonel Xiuen who had taken the test with him in Sheen's laboratory.

When Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En saw Su Ming coming in, his brows slightly frowned, but he didn't say anything.

But at this moment, Su Ming keenly noticed a strange gaze.

He looked in the direction of his gaze and saw a big man in a major's uniform, with short hair, a muscular build, and a hot temper, looking at him unkindly.

Su Ming thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered.

Isn't this Major Hegas who scolded me for taking the back door in Xiguang Laboratory? I didn't expect to meet him here.

But Su Ming didn't care too much. He walked straight to the front and found an empty seat to sit down.

"Damn it, Chen Ying, did you see that guy who went in through the back door?"

"I saw it."

Major Chen Ying replied with a headache.

"Bah! This is really amazing. A person who got in through the backdoor has made it to the rank of major. Are those people above me filled with maggots?"

Hegaz said very annoyed.

"Okay, stop talking."

Chen Ying reminded Hegas.

"Humph!"

Hegas suppressed his anger irritably.

At this time, many officers at the scene were also discussing in low voices.

"Who is that person who just came in? So young?"

"I don't know, but it looks very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before!"

Su Ming listened to their discussion and waited quietly for the meeting to begin.

At this time, the door of the conference room was opened again.

Su Ming and others turned their heads to look over.

A handsome man with a fair face, a hint of coldness and extraordinary temperament, wearing a colonel's uniform, walked in.

"It's Chief Kraft!"

"I didn't expect that he would join the Thirteenth Legion. This is really great!"

Many officers discussed in low voices.

Ignoring everyone's comments, Kraft walked to the front row and took his seat.

Su Ming raised his bracelet to check the time. It was already seven thirty and there was still half an hour before the meeting started, so he waited patiently!
About half an hour later, the door of the parliament hall was pushed open again.

Swish!
Many officers present stood up.

Seeing this, Su Ming also stood up and turned to look over.

I saw a middle-aged man with a sturdy build, a round waist, broad shoulders, a full beard, a broad forehead, bright eyes, and wearing a major general's uniform, walking in with great momentum.

"General Vickers!"

Everyone saluted.

"sit!"

Vickers responded in a deep voice, then walked up to the parliamentary platform.

Su Ming and others sat down and looked at Major General Vic.

Vickers glanced at all the officers present, and after confirming that everyone was present, he spoke seriously.

"Everyone here is welcome to join the Thirteenth Legion. From today on, we are all part of the same legion. Everyone must live in harmony and unite as one!"

"Yes!" Chen Ying and others replied seriously.

"Although the Thirteenth Legion was just established, it carries a huge responsibility. You should know clearly why the Federation established the Thirteenth Legion. We are about to face a fierce battle, so we must organize the legion as quickly as possible, try to get them to work together, and improve their combat effectiveness!"

"understand!"

"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. I will start arranging your positions now. The entire Thirteenth Army has a total of twenty-six teams. The first team is led by Colonel Kaf, and the deputy leaders are Major Chen Ying and Major Zhou Shen."

Vickers started arranging positions.

"Yes!"

Kraft and others were assigned to the officer who responded in a deep voice.

"The third team is led by Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En, and the deputy leaders are Major Hegas and Major Su Ming!"

When Su Ming heard Vic's appointment, his expression changed slightly.

At this time, Major Hegarth suddenly stood up and said to Major General Vick.

"General, I object!"

In an instant, everyone in the parliament room focused their attention on Major Hegarth.

"what's the situation?"

"I don't know."

Everyone talked one after another.

Major Chen Ying and Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En also frowned when they saw Major Hegas stand up directly.

"Major Hegarth, why do you refuse my appointment?"

Vickers asked in a deep voice.

"General, I refuse to be on the same team with Major Su Ming, who has connections through backdoor channels!"

Hegaz replied without hesitation.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officers in the room were in an uproar, and everyone looked at Su Ming and whispered.

"Take the back door?"

"Oh my god, he got promoted to major through the back door, his background must be so impressive!"

Timmy, who was sitting at the back, also frowned when he heard Hegarth's accusation.

"quiet!"

Major General Vickers shouted with a dark face.

In fact, he had read Su Ming's file and resume, which could be called perfect and excellent. However, no matter how perfect a resume was, once it was labeled as a relative, its nature would change immediately.

For a moment, everyone in the conference hall fell silent.

Major General Vickers looked at Major Hegarth and asked in a deep voice.

"It seems that you and Major Su Ming have had conflicts in the past!"

"That's right General, I'll apply to have him transferred to another brigade, or have myself transferred to another team!"

Hegaz replied without hesitation.

"If that's the case, then it's even more impossible for me to transfer you away. The purpose of establishing the Thirteenth Legion is to unite. As your superior, I order you to overcome conflicts and solve problems. You must unite together!"

"But, sir!"

"This is a military order, do you hear me?"

Vickers roared without question.

"Yes, sir!"

Hegas could only grit his teeth and agree.

When Su Ming heard this, he touched his forehead and felt a headache. This time he was in trouble.

I didn't expect to be assigned to the same team with this young man. There will be something interesting to watch later.

"Very good, sit down!"

General Vickers shouted solemnly.

Although Hegas was extremely unwilling, he still sat down.

More than an hour later, Major General Vickers had arranged everything and he spoke to everyone.

"Okay, the positions have been arranged. What you need to do now is to reorganize the troops as much as possible. Of course, I also know that it is unrealistic to ask you to reorganize them in such a short time, but we will set off soon and time is very tight. You can also reorganize them in general first, and then slowly adjust them during the voyage after departure!"

"Yes!"

Su Ming and others responded in a deep voice.

"Today's meeting is scheduled here, let's adjourn!"

Major General Vickers then waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse.

At this time, many officers present stood up and walked towards the deputy regiment commander to discuss the next reorganization matters together.

Seeing this, Su Ming stood up and walked towards Lieutenant Colonel Xiuen, and Major Hegas also came over.

When Hegas saw Su Ming, he snorted coldly, venting his dissatisfaction.

Su Ming didn't bother with him. Even though this guy didn't like him, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

At least it shows that he has a straightforward personality, and he prefers this kind of straightforwardness to those who are roundabout.

However, Xiuen was in great trouble because the team itself was reorganized temporarily, which was already very tricky.

Now, the two deputy heads of the group are in direct conflict. Moreover, the ability of one of them is still questionable, and it is possible that he really got in through the backdoor.

But he still spoke calmly.

"You two, we are a team now. Although you two were a little unhappy before, I don't want to see any conflicts between you. We have a heavy responsibility now."

"Okay, I'm fine."

Su Ming agreed readily.

Although Hegas became more and more displeased with Su Ming, he still suppressed his anger and spoke in front of Xiu En.

"understood."

"Okay, the next thing to do is to reorganize the three regiments."

Xiuen spoke up.

"I'll be watching this myself!"

Hegas took the initiative to take on the task, fearing that Xiuen would hand it over to Su Ming. By then, this person with connections would make the team a mess.

"Okay, then Hegas, you just have to work hard to keep an eye on them. Of course, I will also participate. As for Su Ming, you can also inspect the Third Regiment more often when you have time. In any case, there are ten captains in the Third Regiment, and five of them should be under your charge."

Xiu En pondered for a moment before making arrangements.

You should know that the entire mecha formation of the 5th Army is that the squad leader manages 50 people, the squadron leader manages 500 people, the battalion commander manages 2500 people, the deputy regiment commander manages 5000 people, the regiment commander manages 13 people, and the corps commander manages people.

That is to say, under normal circumstances, Su Ming is responsible for managing 2500 people.

Now, due to time constraints, Xiu En was not confident in handing the person over to Su Ming, so he gave this difficult task to Hegas, after all, his qualifications and experience were there.

As for Su Ming, he is too young and unreliable no matter how you look at him.

He was very confused about how Su Ming was promoted to major, but it was not a good idea to ask directly about such things.

"Row!"

Su Ming had no objection to this arrangement; he was enjoying his free time.

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Xiu En then finalized the matter.

In the afternoon.

Su Ming was lying in the dormitory, swiping his bracelet to check the information of each officer in the Third Regiment.

Bang!

The noisy sound interrupted his thoughts.

Su Ming raised his bracelet and looked at the time. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

He stretched lazily, got up, put on his shoes and left the dormitory.

Although all the work was taken over by Hegas, and he had a lot of free time, he still had to go for an inspection anyway.

Soon Su Ming walked out of the base.

It was very lively outside the base, with many people moving things around.

From time to time, buses and military transport vehicles carrying soldiers arrived at the base.

Su Ming walked towards the training area.

Along the way, he saw some officers giving speeches to their subordinates, while others began to train their subordinates.

Every officer is very busy.

However, Su Ming noticed one thing. There were basically no officers above the colonel level in the training ground. It seemed that the higher the rank of the officer, the easier it was.

At this moment, Su Ming suddenly saw Ankajia.

I saw Ankajia sparring with a very strong sergeant.

The groups of non-commissioned officers next to them kept shouting with red faces.

"Zhao Gou! Come on!"

"come on!"

It’s a pity that the sergeant named Zhao Gou was no match for Ankajia, and all his attacks failed.

Ankaja played with him like a monkey, and kept mocking him.

"Didn't you eat?"

"Is that all you have? Are the muscles in your body made of plastic?"

His behavior brought Zhao Gou and the non-commissioned officer next to him to the peak of their anger.

"Beat him!"

"Beat him to death!"

Many non-commissioned officers shouted angrily.

It’s a pity that no matter how Zhao Gou attacked, Ankajia could easily dodge it. Although he was a bit fat, he was incredibly flexible.

"Oh, that's boring! It's my turn now."

Ankajia suddenly jumped up and beat Zhao Gou violently without holding back at all.

In just a few seconds, Zhao Gou was knocked to the ground, and the non-commissioned officers around him wilted like eggplants hit by frost.

Su Ming looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile.

This kid Ankajia is quite good at attracting hatred.

Su Ming continued to walk towards the training area of ​​the Third Regiment when he passed by the Seventh Regiment.

When Su Ming saw Rhine, he stopped immediately, watched Rhine giving a speech in a serious manner for a while, and then continued to walk towards the third regiment.

It wasn't long before he arrived at the training area of ​​the Third Regiment.

I saw ten team leaders standing upright in the front row, and the other personnel were arranged in order of their positions behind them.

At this time, Major Hegarth gave a very stern lecture.

"Listen to me, everyone. There have never been any cowards in the team led by Hegas. No matter what danger we face, we are not allowed to retreat. I will lead the charge and I will be the first to retreat. But if anyone is a coward, get out of here as soon as possible!"

"Yes, sir!"

Many captains were like chickens with their blood pumped up, shouting passionately one after another.

Su Ming stopped and watched the scene with interest. He had to admit that although this big guy didn't get along with him, he seemed to be quite capable. This soldier was well trained.

But is this an attempt to usurp his power? If someone else had been the deputy leader, he would have jumped up in anger long ago.

But Su Ming didn't care at all, he was too lazy to train these new recruits.

What Su Ming really wants to do is to transfer Rhine and others to his own command, but this might not be easy to do.

If they were not in the Thirteenth Legion, this would be easy to do. But the original intention of the Thirteenth Legion was to unite the people, so they deliberately dispersed everyone and did not allow people from all parties to gather together.

"Ugh!"

Su Ming sighed slightly when he thought of this.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Cao Ran!"

Su Ming turned his head and saw a girl wearing a sergeant's uniform. She had a chubby face and looked quite cute. She shouted at Su Ming.

Behind the girl, there were several other girls who corrected her.

"No, his name is not Cao Ran!"

"Oh, yes, his name is what, Spy!"

The girl who looked quite cute blurted out.

Su Ming asked with a twitching mouth when he heard the word "spy".

"You are?"

"That's too much. You actually forgot us. I'm Lan Yue!"

Lan Yue put her hands on her hips and said angrily.

"It's you guys, what a coincidence."

When Su Ming heard Lan Yue's words, he replied very awkwardly.

"Humph, you ran really fast in the City Lord's Mansion. We searched for you for a long time but couldn't find you. This time we caught you. It's all because of you. We have been laughed at for a long time."

Lan Yue complained to Su Ming.

"Sorry, that's not a competition. I just can't help it."

Su Ming smiled and apologized.

"Forget it, I forgive you!"

When Lan Yue saw Su Ming apologize, she didn't continue to bother him.

"Thank you. By the way, don't you guys need to train?"

"Yes, we need it. We just disbanded for a break."

"I see."

Su Ming nodded.

"By the way, what's your name?"

Lan Yue asked as she couldn't remember for a moment.

"My name is Su Ming!"

Su Ming introduced himself.

"Su Ming, why aren't you wearing a military uniform?"

Lan Yue asked curiously.

"this."

Just when Su Ming was thinking about how to explain, his bracelet suddenly vibrated and a message popped up.

"Dear Major Su Ming, this is an urgent mission. Please go to the base's Operations Conference Room No. 3 immediately."

"Sorry, I have something else to do. Let's talk later."

When Su Ming saw this message, he quickly said something to Lan Yue and others, then turned around and ran towards the base.

Lan Yue watched Su Ming run away and stomped her feet in anger.

"He ran away before he could say a few words, as if we were going to eat him."

At this time, a woman wearing a second lieutenant's uniform, with long blue hair, fair skin, clear eyes and outstanding appearance came over and asked.

"Lanyue, what are you doing here?"

"Sister Ai Yin, we just ran into Su Ming."

Lan Yue quickly said to Ai Yin.

"Su Ming? Where is he?"

Ai Yin turned her head and looked around, but did not see him.

The other girls started talking.

"He just ran away after a few words. He's really super slippery. But if you look at him up close, he's really handsome, even more handsome than in the photos and videos."

After hearing this, Ai Yin immediately asked.

"Are you blaming others?"

"No way, we just wanted to chat with him and make friends, but he ran faster than a rabbit."

Lan Yue said resentfully.

"That's good. Let's not talk about him anymore. You guys should take some time to rest. We have training later."

"it is good!"

On the other side, Su Ming hurried to the door of Operations Meeting Room No. 3.

The soldier guarding the door was about to reach out to stop Su Ming.

Su Ming picked up the officer card and showed it to them, and the soldiers immediately saluted.

"Sir!"

Su Ming then pushed the door open and went in.

There were five people standing in the conference room: Colonel Kaf, Major Chen Ying, Lieutenant Colonel Aragon, Major Burton, and Lieutenant Colonel Xiuen.

When Su Ming saw these people, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

They actually summoned the captains of the first three regiments and a deputy captain. What was they going to do?
At this time, Colonel Kraft spoke coldly.

"Everyone is here. I will briefly explain the mission. General Vickers ordered me to lead the team to the Yellow Sand Land and bring back the mothership!"

"it is good!"

Su Ming and his companions responded immediately.

"Let's go!"

Colonel Kraft didn't say much and led the team out.

Not long after, Su Ming controlled the Killer and followed Kaf and others out of the base.

They flew at high speed in the sky, constantly passing over the red earth and towering mountains.

Su Ming was also observing Xiuen's mecha with great curiosity.

The mecha he drove was also a third-generation custom-made machine, but it was a heavy-duty model, with a body height of 21 meters, which was a cut higher than the regular third-generation machine. It was also covered in thick black armor, and had two large-caliber beam cannons installed on both shoulders, giving the whole mecha a full sense of oppression.

The most important point is that there is a red star sprayed on the chest of the Xiuen mecha, which is very rare.

It can be seen that his strength should be very strong.

Then Su Ming looked at the mechas of other people. Except for Kraft's fourth-generation mecha, the rest were all customized ones.

"Let's speed up a little bit."

At this time, Kaf said coldly.

"it is good!"

Xiu En and others responded in a deep voice.

Everyone then pushed the power lever forward and accelerated to follow Kraft.

More than two hours later.

Above the endless desert, six mechas streaked across the sky, followed by a number of small interstellar carriers.

At this time, Kaf controlled the mecha to slow down and float above the yellow sand.

Su Ming and others followed suit and slowed down.

"is it here?"

Xiu En asked in a deep voice.

"That's right!"

Kaf looked at the rolling yellow sand and replied with certainty.

"Then do it!"

Xiuen said to Kaf.

Kraft then took out a special mechanical device and pressed it!

A minute later, the whole desert suddenly seemed to be shaken by an earthquake, and the howling wind blew up a sky full of sand and dust.

Then, rolling yellow sand bulged up, and accompanied by a deafening roar, a huge mothership broke out from the yellow sand. As the mothership continued to rise into the air, sand and gravel all over the sky poured down like a rainstorm.

Su Ming looked at this shocking scene and his heart was slightly shaken.

Soon the mothership completely emerged from the yellow sand.

Su Ming looked carefully and saw that it was a 280-kilometer-long ship with a slender hull covered with old armor. A slender main gun protruded from the bow, and the hull was densely covered with numerous launch ports and interception guns.
"It's actually the Level 5 mothership, the Tsar!"

Xiuen and others said with slight surprise.

"That's right, this mothership belongs to our Thirteenth Legion, let's get on board!"

Kaf controlled the mecha and flew towards the mothership's entrance.

Su Ming and others followed immediately.

Not long after, Su Ming and others entered the Tsar's hangar.

呲~
Accompanied by the sound of deflation, one mecha after another opened its cockpit.

Kaf and others jumped down one after another, and at the same time, many accompanying ship operators also got off the small interstellar carriers.

Su Ming looked around the hangar. The entire hangar was very large, but it looked very old, and some of the joints were rusted.

"Let's go to the central control room."

Kaf led Su Ming and others towards the central control room.

Su Ming and others followed closely behind Kaf.

Soon they arrived at the Tsar's central control room via a mobile platform.

Su Ming glanced around and found that the entire central control room was very spacious, with a T-shaped internal layout.

The control panel equipment here looks very old and is covered with a thick layer of dust.

However, surprisingly, the console equipment can still be enabled and operated, with prompts popping up on the virtual screen.

"Received the start signal!"

"Tsar, intelligent assistance system activated."

"CSZ-01 Type 2 Fusion Power Plant Started."

"Take over the ship!"

Kraft waved his hand and the operators behind him came forward.

"This ship is too old, it must be at least a hundred years old!"

Chen Ying said with a frown.

"To be precise, it was manufactured 300 years ago and retired years ago."

Kraft gave an accurate answer.

"It's not so old, can it still be used?"

"Although this Tsar mothership is old, it is equipped with a dual fusion power plant, which is very powerful. It is also highly maneuverable and comes with a camouflage device, so its combat effectiveness is not low! Most importantly, this ship is very famous. During its 200 years of service, it sank 3 level 5 motherships, 4 level 5 battleships, and countless other ships. In addition, it also killed many monsters and was finally retired successfully."

Xiuen added solemnly.

Su Ming was also very surprised when he heard this. He did not expect that the Federation would even take out such a meritorious ship.

He didn't know whether to say that the Federation valued the 13th Legion or that the Federation was really stretched to the limit.

A few hours later.

The Tsar broke through the clouds and appeared above the sky base.

Everyone in the base stopped what they were doing, looked up at the mothership that appeared in the sky, and talked in shock.

“Isn’t this a retired mothership?”

"Oh my god, this ship is so old, and the surface armor is rusted. Wait, this can't be our mothership for combat?"

"It seems so!"

"No way, let's use antiques to fight?"

"That's not true. This mothership was very famous in the past and had made great military achievements!"

"Well, it's better than nothing."

Everyone comforted themselves.

At this time, the Tsar slowly descended towards the wilderness on the side of the air base.
