Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 330: The Battle Begins (Five in One)

three days later.

Deng Yu and others trained the soldiers and controlled the most basic operations of the mechas, such as running, jumping, and flying on the ground.

Su Ming sat in a chair and operated the bracelet, constantly modifying his training plan.

At this time, the major teams nearby were also training vigorously.

"Pause, rest!"

Deng Yu raised his hand and shouted to his subordinates.

All the soldiers controlled their mechas to stop and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Deng Yu looked at the training over at Hegas. They had entered into simple actual combat confrontations, and he could see that the Taiwan Iron Guards were fighting each other.

Seeing this, Deng Yu couldn't help it, so he walked up to Zhang Bi and others and said.

"We can't go on like this. Others are already in actual combat, and we're still here practicing the basics."

"Let's go find Commander Su Ming."

Zhang Bi and others said worriedly.

"Well, let's go!"

Deng Yu nodded and walked towards Su Ming with Zhang Bi and others.

Soon five people came in front of Su Ming and shouted.

"Sir!"

"Ah."

Su Ming just responded without looking at them, still lowering his head to operate the bracelet.

Deng Yu wanted to speak, but no words came out of his mouth and his face turned red.

At this time Su Ming put down the bracelet, looked up at Deng Yu and the other four and said with a smile.

"Just say whatever you want to say. I won't eat you!"

"Sir, let me tell you. I question your teaching method. Others are already training in actual combat, but we are still teaching basic movements here."

Deng Yu mustered up the courage to speak.

When Su Ming heard this, his expression became serious and he said to Deng Yu and the other four.

"What do you know? You guys have a good foundation, so it doesn't matter how you train. But have you ever thought about the new recruits? Many of them have only learned theoretical knowledge and have undergone a few simulation cabin trainings. Their foundation is so poor that they have to spend a lot of time figuring out the location of the buttons. Do you think that if you speed up the training in this situation, what good results will come out? And once they are put into real combat, won't they be panicked?"

"It seems so."

Deng Yu and others were slightly startled.

"What I want now is for them to master the basics, form muscle memory, and be able to skillfully control the mecha. Before you want to become a warrior, you must at least become a normal person first, not a disabled person with cerebellar atrophy!"

"Yes, sir!"

"From now on, excluding eating, going to the bathroom, and eight hours of sleep, all of that time should be spent working overtime to train your basics!"

Su Ming gave the order directly.

"Yes!"

Deng Yu and others responded immediately.

late at night.

Su Ming sat in front of the table, placed the bracelet on the table, and turned on the projection working mode.

dong dong!

Su Ming kept tapping on the projected keyboard, planning crash courses.

At this time, Chuan Ling was squatting beside him, looking at Su Ming who was working, yawning with his mouth open.

Then it stood up and walked to Su Ming's side, rubbing its head against his feet.

Unfortunately, Su Ming ignored him, so it flew to Su Ming's shoulder and lay there.

It lay there for a while, then jumped onto the table and looked at Su Ming pitifully.

Su Ming took a look at it, sighed, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

He washed a bunch of grapes and placed them in front of the boat spirit.

Chuan Ling was so happy that he picked a grape, threw it into his mouth, swallowed it directly, and then picked another one.

Su Ming continued to work.

At this time, Chuan Ling picked a relatively large grape and threw it into his mouth again.

As a result, the grape got stuck in his throat.

"咿咿~"

The boat spirit pinched his neck in pain.

Su Ming heard the noise and turned his head to look over there. The corner of his mouth twitched. He grabbed the boat spirit and turned it over.

However, it's like squeezing toothpaste from the bottom to the top.

puff!
A grape was immediately spat out.

At this time, the boat spirit also breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Ming looked at this scene and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It really deserves to be the most useless protected animal. It almost choked to death while eating a grape.

"Ugh!"

Su Ming shook his head and continued working.

Ten days later.

Su Ming walked towards training ground No. 3.

He saw from afar that Deng Yu and others had finished their training and were sitting on the ground dejectedly to rest.

At this time, several officers from the 4th Regiment walked past.

They discussed in low voices.

"See those people from the Third Regiment?"

"I saw it."

"They are still training the basics. It makes me laugh to death."

"No way. The First and Second Regiments jointly held a large-scale space battle yesterday. I heard that it was fought quite well."

"That's right. Others are actually fighting, but they are still practicing walking here. It's really pitiful!"

The morale of Deng Yu's soldiers became even lower when they heard the discussion of the passing officers.

Su Ming then walked over and stood in front of Deng Yu and others.

As soon as everyone saw Su Ming coming, they all stood up and started shouting.

"Sir."

Su Ming looked at their aggrieved expressions and asked with a smile.

"Why, do you feel wronged?"

"Sir, we are really wronged! Why can we only practice the basics after more than ten days? We have already practiced it very well."

"Now even when we go to the cafeteria to eat, we are laughed at by soldiers from other regiments."

A soldier responded.

"I've said before, haste makes waste. But since you feel you've trained well, I'll give you one more chance. Now, all of you get on the mechas. I want to personally test your basic operations."

Su Ming looked at the numerous soldiers and gave orders seriously.

"Yes!"

When many soldiers heard Su Ming's words, they all ran towards the mecha.

Deng Yu and others stood beside Su Ming and accompanied him in the inspection.

Soon all the soldiers controlled the mechas and lined up. They came forward one by one and demonstrated the most basic operations such as running, continuous jumping, and prone flying in front of Su Ming.

Su Ming looked at the soldiers' performance expressionlessly, thinking secretly.

"Not bad, these guys have done a good job in basic training. It seems that they really haven't been lazy these days and have been training very hard!"

Deng Yu and others looked at Su Ming with a tense expression and without saying a word, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.

Soon all the soldiers were shown it.

Everyone got off the mecha again, gathered in front of Su Ming, and looked at him nervously.

At this moment, Su Ming suddenly smiled.

"Okay, you passed. From today on, you won't have to practice the basics anymore!"

Su Ming announced solemnly.

"Really? That's great."

Everyone cheered in surprise.

"Well, from now on, I will give you a crash course in training. Everyone, get on the mecha!"

Su Ming gave orders to everyone.

Many soldiers rushed towards their respective mechas as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Soon everyone drove their mechas and gathered in front of Su Ming.

Su Ming raised his bracelet and clicked a few times. Videos were transmitted to everyone's mecha operating screens. Then he spoke solemnly to everyone.

"This is the crash course I tailored for you. It is divided into four simple sections: close combat, close combat defense, shooting, and flying! I want you to follow the above requirements and unconditionally carry out the intensive training."

Su Ming developed this set of quick training for the second-generation Iron Guard mecha. And all the attack, defense, shooting, and flying are actually a set of templates.

This is a bit like assembly line training, which of course has its drawbacks, but it can make them grow up the fastest.

"Yes, sir!"

Many soldiers responded excitedly.

"Also, starting today, all squad leaders, platoon leaders, and battalion leaders will be responsible for supervising the soldiers' training before 5 p.m. From 5 to 12 p.m., everyone will gather to receive personal training from me!"

Su Ming then announced to Deng Yu and others.

"Yes!"

"Start training!"

"As ordered!"

Many soldiers at the scene shouted excitedly.

Their mechas spread out and drew out their alloy blades. Following the movements shown in the video, they took a step forward and chopped down diagonally, with all the angles of the chop clearly marked.

Su Ming looked at the soldiers who had started training and revealed a hint of anticipation.
-
Time flies, and the day of testing has arrived.

The Star Fortress deliberately ended its superluminal flight and hovered in the vast starry sky.

On the training ground.

The soldiers of the twenty-six teams were arranged in neat formations.

The scene is extremely spectacular!
The officers of each major team stood upright in front of their respective teams, waiting for the corps commander to come and inspect.

At this time, Hegas lowered his voice and asked Su Ming.

"Are you sure? Your troops started training almost half a month later than others."

"Don't worry, I won't hold the team back."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"hope so."

Seeing Su Ming was so confident, Hegas didn't say much.

At this time, the purple-haired girl came over with Lieutenant General Firion, Jon and Major General Vickers.

"Legion Commander!"

Everyone shouted in a tense manner.

For a moment, the loud voice echoed throughout the entire training ground.

The purple-haired girl glanced at the soldiers of each team and spoke calmly.

"Very good, all team leaders and deputy leaders come up!"

When Su Ming and others heard the order, they all walked forward and came in front of the legion commander.

"Give me a seat!"

The purple-haired girl spoke directly.

Soldiers came up one by one, carrying chairs.

Su Ming and the others looked at each other, then sat down in bewilderment. They had a bad feeling.

At this time, the purple-haired girl spoke to all the captains and deputy captains.

"Today is the day to check the results of the training. You will be watching your soldiers perform. I believe it will be exciting. You don't have to be too restrained and can speak freely."

"Well, if I mess up today, I'll lose all my face."

The captain and deputy captain whispered with a headache.

At this time, Su Ming heard Captain Korifah of the Fourth Regiment speaking in a low voice to the deputy captain next to him.

"Fuda, are you sure?"

"Have!"

"You'd better do as you say, or I'll skin you alive!"

When Su Ming heard this, he felt a little nervous, after all, the time was too short.

At this time, the purple-haired girl turned her head to look at Major General Vickers and nodded slightly to indicate that he could begin.

Major General Vickers then stood up, looked at all the soldiers, and spoke.

"You can see that your leaders are watching you. Your results determine their achievements!"

"Yes!"

Many soldiers replied loudly.

Major General Vickers turned his head to look at Kraft and other officers and asked in a deep voice.

"Don't you have any words to say to your soldiers?"

"Have!"

At this time, Captain Colifa stood up and said seriously.

"Say it!"

Major General Vickers replied seriously.

Captain Korifah looked at the soldiers in his team and spoke passionately.

"Although we haven't been together for a long time, I have witnessed your hard work and sweat in this month. I believe you are the best and you can definitely complete the inspection perfectly. Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

Many soldiers responded excitedly.

"Commander, I'm done!"

Korifah turned and said to Major General Vickers.

"Very good. I hope your soldiers can do as you said."

Major General Vickers replied in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Colifa replied seriously.

At this time, Major General Vickers looked at all the soldiers and gave orders coldly.

"All captain-level personnel will not participate in the test. All of you, trot out of the line!"

When Colonel Kraft, Xiuen and others heard what Major General Vickers said, their expressions suddenly changed slightly.

When Su Ming saw this scene, he also showed a strange expression.

At this time, the officers sitting around said in a low voice with an unpleasant look on their faces.

"It's over!"

All captain-level personnel, to put it bluntly, are veterans with military ranks or those who have participated in actual combat. They are equivalent to the backbone of the team. Removing them is equivalent to removing the backbone of the entire team.

At this time, all the soldiers on the scene showed uneasy expressions. Without the captain's command, they were all a little at a loss.

Then Major General Vickers continued.

"Listen carefully, everyone. I will now open the exit and entrance of the hangar. Each team will have two exits and entrances. After logging out of the fortress, you need to fly to the designated location, complete the target shooting, and then return to the fortress. The team with the shortest time will be given priority!"

"have you understood?"

"understand!"

"Very good, I now declare the assessment to begin."

As Major General Vickers finished his words, hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the scene rushed towards the hangar.

The scene was in chaos, with many people bumping into each other.

"Ugh!"

Many group leaders and deputy group leaders looked at the chaotic scene and touched their foreheads with headaches.

Su Ming watched this scene with great interest. He originally thought that today's test would be boring, but he didn't expect it to be so interesting.

This legion commander is really different and doesn't play by the rules.

Major General Vickers spoke in a deep voice.

"Turn on projection, show the hangar!"

"Yes!"

The subordinate next to him replied respectfully.

Instantly, the image inside the hangar appeared in front of everyone. Groups of soldiers rushed in one after another, some even pushing each other!
The faces of many group leaders and deputy group leaders who were watching the scene all looked a little unhappy.

Although this is a competition, we are a legion after all, so we still need to be united.

They cautiously glanced at the purple-haired girl, but the legion commander was wearing a mask and their expression could not be seen at all.

At this time, one soldier after another climbed onto the mecha.

Swish!
One mecha after another started up and rushed to the exit.

As a result, two soldiers from the 12th Regiment controlled the mechas and rushed towards an entrance at the same time. It was not known whether they were too nervous or for some other reason, but they collided with each other.

When the commander of the 12th Regiment saw this scene, he was so angry that his teeth were itching!
The team leader next to him also tried to suppress his smile.

"Oops! Soldiers from the 12th Regiment crashed into a plane!"

"Yeah! Someone was compromised, and the perfect login and exit must be gone."

At this time, Su Ming noticed some soldiers in a regiment and took the initiative to step forward and give orders.

"Don't be chaotic, log out in an orderly manner, one by one!"

Seeing this scene, Su Ming couldn't help but secretly admire that senior Kraft's teaching was indeed good.

At this time, Su Ming discovered that Xiuen and Hegas' faces were tense and they seemed a little nervous.

He then looked towards the Third Regiment and found that the soldiers on Hegas' side were in good order, and many of them stood up to give orders. As for his side, there was a little bit of chaos, after all, he did not expect the captain to be pulled out.

Fortunately, the problem was not serious and order was soon restored.

Swish!
More and more mechas came out of the fortress and flew towards the targets to shoot.

At this time, a square image appeared in front of Su Ming and others, showing a space shooting range.

Many mechas flew over and raised their beam guns to shoot.

shhhhh!

Beams of light shot out, and targets were blown up one after another.

The mecha that hit the target immediately turned around and returned at high speed.

Since intelligent assistance systems can be used, the shooting level looks very good. Basically 70 percent of the soldiers can hit the target with one shot.

Swish!Swish!
Inside the hangar, one mecha after another rushed in from the entrance.

Many mechas began to return.

Soon, the first group completed the task perfectly, followed by the second group.

As for the soldiers trained by the three regiments of Hegas, they also completed it perfectly. However, the soldiers taught by Su Ming, although they also completed it perfectly, took too long.

This directly resulted in the Third Regiment being ranked fifth and being overtaken by the Eighteenth and Fourth Regiments.

Hegas looked at Su Ming with a dark face, but he didn't say anything. Although the soldiers trained by Su Ming were a little slow, they completed the task perfectly anyway.

At this time, Captain Corefa and others on the side were also discussing with great interest.

"The third group actually dropped to fifth place!"

"The troops trained by Su Ming are a little lacking in quality."

"Yeah, but the 18th Regiment is so strong. Who leads this group?"

"It's Major Timmy!"

"It turned out to be her, no wonder!"

Su Ming didn't care about their discussions at all. He didn't really practice logging out and logging in.

However, he still glanced at Timmy who was sitting not far away, and saw that she was very calm and had great confidence in her soldiers.

At this time, Hegas took a deep breath and turned his head suddenly to look at Su Ming.

When Su Ming saw Hegas's gaze, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, "It's over. I'm going to be scolded."

The next scene was beyond Su Ming's expectations. He saw Hegas actually gave a thumbs up.

Su Ming also smiled and nodded in response.

Soon, other teams also completed the first test one after another.

Major General Vickers activated the broadcasting device and spoke calmly.

"All personnel involved in collisions will be eliminated, and the rest will gather at the training grounds."

When everyone heard what Major General Vickers said, they opened their mechas, jumped down, and hurried back.

Soon all the soldiers rearranged themselves into lines.

Major General Vickers glanced at everyone and said.

"First of all, I want to criticize the 12th, 15th, 23rd, and 25th Regiments. All four of you have experienced collisions and have not achieved perfect conditions. Emergency login and logout are the most basic requirements for combat. It is really shameful that you cannot do this."

All of a sudden, the faces of the commanders and deputy commanders of the four regiments turned red, and many soldiers lowered their heads.

At this time, Major General Vickers continued.

"Also, I want to praise the First, Second and Eighteenth Regiments. You have done a great job. But this is just the basics. What comes next is the key!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Major General Vickers, their hearts hanging in the air, secretly wondering what the next test would be.

Major General Vickers did not keep anyone in suspense and announced it straightforwardly.

"The last test is an elimination battle. Each team randomly selects ten soldiers and matches them with other teams for a melee. The winners advance until the champion is decided."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded.

Major General Vickers waved his hand, and countless changing human figures appeared on the virtual projection screen.

At the end, the changing portraits were frozen, and ten people were selected from all the teams.

Su Ming saw the names of the three groups that won the bid. Five of them were trained by him, namely Cao Zhi, Song Hui, Xu Wen, Babita, Bai Rui, and the other five were trained by Hegas.

He then looked at the winning names of other teams and found that they were all the same. Soldiers trained by each deputy commander were drawn, and the number was exactly five for each person.

It seems that the commander of the corps wants to comprehensively observe the training results of all officers. "All those who have been drawn, step out!"

Major General Vickers gave the order calmly.

One by one, the soldiers walked out of the queue and stood nervously in the front row.

"Now we start drawing the names for the first match."

Major General Vickers immediately issued the order.

Soon the extraction results popped up on the virtual screen.

"The first duel, the first group vs the third group!"

When Xiu En saw the result, his face suddenly darkened.

Hegas said to Su Ming with a very ugly expression.

"Ruined."

"Calm down."

Su Ming said very calmly.

"Ah~"

Xiu En, who was standing aside, also sighed helplessly.

At this time, officers from other regiments around were also discussing this.

"This third group is finished!"

"It's definitely over. The First Regiment is taught by Kaf himself. They are extremely powerful!"

"If the second group draws the first group, maybe we can still give it a try, but if the third group draws the first group, it's going to be tough!"

"It's not that it's too bad, it's that there's no hope at all, right? You probably don't know that half of the people in the third group have only practiced the basics for half a month!"

"Ah, I hope I don't lose too badly. Otherwise, with Hegas's personality, I'm sure he'll explode."

At this time, two opposing metal platforms rose in the fighting area of ​​the training ground.

On each metal platform, there were ten specially modified iron guards, all of which had induction devices installed on their bodies and rubber soft knives on their waists.

At this time, all the people who were drawn from the first and third groups walked to the platform and logged into the mecha.

Everyone's eyes are focused on the fighting arena!

At this time, Major General Vickers announced directly without any hesitation.

"start!"

In an instant, soldiers from both sides drove their mechas towards each other.

Su Ming's gaze then fell on Song Hui, and he saw him taking the lead in fighting with Qiu Kai from the first group.

Song Hui came up and slashed at Qiu Kai fiercely with his knife.

Qiu Kai was also startled, but he still reacted quickly and raised the soft knife in his hand to block!

click!
At this time, Song Hui controlled the mecha and kicked Qiu Kai with very skillful movements.

Qiu Kai quickly controlled the mecha to retreat and avoid the attack.

Seeing this, Song Hui controlled the mecha to rush forward and slashed towards Qiu Kai.

I have to say that Qiu Kai from the group is really strong, and he keeps raising the weapon in his hand to block.

Bang!
But Song Hui attacked one after another without stopping.

Qiu Kai's pressure continued to increase, and he became more and more flustered.

At this moment, Song Hui suddenly seized the opportunity, directly activated the jet device, and slammed his body into Qiu Kai's mecha.

For a moment, Qiu Kai's mecha leaned back and lost balance.

Song Hui immediately slashed at the cockpit of Qiu Kai's mecha with his knife.

drop!
The red sensor device rang and Qiu Kai was eliminated directly.

When Su Ming saw this scene, he turned his head to look at Cao Zhi and the others, only to find that they had ended the fight long ago and had defeated the opponent in just a few strokes.

At this time, Hegas slammed the armrest and spoke with a look of disappointment.

"oops!"

Su Ming then turned his head and looked at the soldiers trained by Hegas.

It turned out that they were all chopped down by the group, but they also caused some injuries to the group.

At this time, Colifa and others started discussing.

"What's going on? The soldiers trained by Hegas were chopped down, and the people trained by Su Ming chopped down a group of people?"

"It's incredible."

Colonel Kraft frowned as he listened to everyone's discussion.

He didn't expect that half of the soldiers he trained were defeated.

At this time, the remaining mechas of both sides rushed towards each other.

The result was a shocking scene. The remaining five people in the regiment were chopped down by the soldiers trained by Su Ming in just a few moves.

"Oh my god, the team lost?"

"Is this really a new soldier? He feels like a veteran."

"Come on, there's no need to fight. The strongest group has lost, so the third group must have won in the end!"

Everyone at the scene was in an uproar and started talking about it.

When Major General Vickers saw this scene, he was also very surprised. He did not expect that Su Ming, who was known as a relative, had such a strong ability to train soldiers.

Colonel Kraft looked at this scene and was speechless.

You have to know that these people were chosen after careful selection. They were all newcomers when they joined the army, with the same level and basically no combat experience.

Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En was very happy and praised Su Ming.

"Great!"

"Just luck."

Su Ming said to Hegas with a smile.

"How can you be so lucky? You are worthy of being a graduate of the Imperial Court Academy."

Xiu En replied sincerely.

At this time, Major General Vickers stepped forward and announced solemnly.

"Next game!"

A few hours later, without any suspense, the soldiers of the third regiment defeated the soldiers of the remaining regiments and successfully won the victory.

At this time, Major General Vickers walked up to the purple-haired girl, saluted and reported.

"Commander, the inspection is complete, the third regiment wins!"

After listening to Major General Vickers' report, the purple-haired girl slowly stood up from her chair, walked in front of everyone, and spoke calmly.

"The training was very good, especially the third team, which performed amazingly. Everyone applauded and encouraged them!"

clap clap!

Everyone applauded.

"Okay, that's all the testing is done for now!"

The purple-haired girl said coldly.

When everyone heard the words of the legion commander, their hearts suddenly hung in the air and they thought to themselves.

"This time it's over. The legion commander will definitely not be satisfied."

At this time, the purple-haired girl said to everyone.

"I've seen your performance. Although there are some shortcomings, it's good overall. Everyone has trained well! I declare that we will have a day off tomorrow and disband!"

After the purple-haired girl made the announcement, she took Filion and the others away.

"Holiday? No way, did we hear it right?"

"Why are you suddenly on holiday?"

The soldiers present discussed this anxiously.

At this time, Su Ming clapped his hands and shouted to his subordinates.

"Everyone gather!"

After hearing this, Rhine and others lined up in an orderly manner.

Su Ming looked at the 2,500 subordinates in front of him and said to them with a smile.

“Well done!”

"The leader taught me well!"

"."

Deng Yu took the lead and shouted.

Everyone followed suit and shouted.

"Okay, very good. To celebrate your successful passing of the assessment, I, the deputy leader, have decided to treat all of you to a meal!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many soldiers cheered excitedly.

"Sir, it's mighty!"

"awesome."

Deng Yu and others looked at Su Ming in disbelief. To feed more than 2,000 people, this was not a small amount of money.

Especially if you don’t eat in the cafeteria.

Xiuen and Hegarth on the side couldn't hold it anymore, they didn't have that kind of wealth.

"Su Ming, where are we going to eat? It seems like there is no place that can accommodate so many people."

Rhine shouted excitedly.

"It's in Training Area No. 3. There's plenty of space over there!"

"Are you sure it's okay? Will it be against the rules?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm here for you! Rhine, go buy the stove, ingredients, and seasonings."

Su Ming made the arrangements directly.

"no problem!"

Rhine and others went to buy it excitedly.

At this time, Hegas' subordinates looked at him expectantly.

Hegas wanted to bite the bullet and treat everyone to a meal, but his pocket just wouldn't allow it.
After all, his expenses are huge. Not to mention his household expenses, the maintenance cost of his third-generation mobile phone is high.

Xiuen also saw that Hegas was in trouble, so he spoke to his subordinates.

"Everyone, disperse. I have something to discuss with Deputy Captain Hegas later."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded with some regret.

At this time, Su Ming saw that Hegas and Xiuen did not invite their subordinate soldiers to dinner, so he walked up and said with a smile.

"Captain Xiuen, Hegaz, how about we all come together!"

"This is not good."

Xiuen said hesitantly that 5000 people in the entire group were no joke.

"There's nothing wrong with that. We're all in the same group, right?"

Su Ming looked at the many soldiers and asked loudly.

"Yes!"

Many soldiers shouted excitedly.

"All right!"

Seeing this, Xiuen and Hegas stopped refusing.

A few hours later.

In training ground No. 3, ovens were set up one after another.

Elu was leading a group of female soldiers threading meat skewers, while officers such as Rhine were grilling the skewers.

The smell of burnt aroma permeated the entire area.

All the soldiers sat on the ground, eating skewers happily.

At this time Su Ming stood up and spoke.

"Everyone listen to me!"

Everyone present looked at Su Ming.

"Is the barbecue delicious?"

"good to eat!"

Everyone replied excitedly.

"It's delicious, so eat more. You can eat as much as you want today!"

"Great!"

"Also, since this is an extraordinary period, I won't treat you to a drink. Let's just drink water instead of wine!"

Su Ming picked up a bottle of happy water and said to everyone with a smile.

"it is good!"

Xiuen and the others all picked up the water and stood up, shouting happily.

Everyone took a big sip.

"Everyone, enjoy your meal!"

After Su Ming finished speaking, he sat down again, picked up a skewer of barbecue and started eating.

At this time, Hegas, who was sitting next to him, was also convinced and said to Su Ming with great admiration.

"Brother, I didn't expect that you are not only strong in strength, but also better at training soldiers. I am completely convinced!"

"Small thing!"

Su Ming replied with a smile.

Xiu En asked curiously.

"How did you train them to be so strong in such a short time?"

"First, practice the basics, then develop a quick combat method and popularize training."

Su Ming and Xiu En started chatting.
-
Two days later, on the training ground.

Su Ming stood on the elevated command platform, watching many soldiers training.

At this moment, his bracelet vibrated and a message popped up.

"Dear Major Su Ming, please go to the Operations Room of Star Castle immediately. Do not be absent!"

When Su Ming saw this message, he immediately returned to the city and rushed to the top.

Just when you have passed through layers of levels and reached the top.

Suddenly Su Ming noticed that there was a forked road on the left that was circled and had a metal sign hanging on it.

Su Ming took a closer look and saw it clearly marked on the metal plate.

"This is the exclusive area of ​​Xiguang Laboratory. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter."

When Su Ming saw this scene, his brows slightly frowned. He did not expect that Xiguang Laboratory would set up an institution in the fortress.

However, Su Ming did not join in the fun, but continued to rush towards the castle.

Su Ming had felt something was not right when the army commander announced a day off. Now that he had suddenly notified them to hold a meeting, he felt something was wrong.

Not long after, Su Ming arrived at the castle and walked along the side corridor towards the war room.

On the way, he met several majors, all of whom had rushed over at the last minute upon receiving the notice.

Soon they entered the war room.

The entire operations room is circular, with rows of chairs on the outer circle and a raised metal platform in the center.

At this time, many officers were already sitting in the operations room.

"Su Ming, this way!"

Xiu En waved and shouted at Su Ming.

After seeing this, Su Ming hurried over and sat down, then asked in a low voice.

"Captain, do you know why the commander called us here?"

"I don't know. I haven't received any information. But summon us to the war room, I guess."

Xiuen stopped talking halfway through.

"I also think so."

Su Ming replied with a frown on his face.

Just then, a sound of footsteps came in, and the entire operations room suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their heads to look at the door.

The purple-haired girl walked in with several of Filion's generals.

Su Ming and others immediately stood up and greeted them.

"Legion Commander!"

"sit!"

The purple-haired girl raised her hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, then walked straight up to the raised metal platform in the center.

click!
At this time, the open door closed.

The purple-haired girl looked around at everyone and said coldly.

"I called you here today to announce something important. In five hours, the Star Fortress will end its superluminal flight and start combat directly!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

They thought that this meeting might be to discuss the war. But they didn't expect that the war would start in five hours. They didn't even know where to fight or who to fight.

The purple-haired girl saw that everyone was startled and immediately explained.

"The reason I didn't inform you in advance was to ensure that the news would not leak out."

"Yes, Lord Legion Commander."

Kaf and others responded in a deep voice.

"Okay, let's not talk about irrelevant things anymore, let's start making battle plans now."

The purple-haired girl raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

A holographically projected virtual starry sky appeared in front of the purple-haired girl, and she spoke in an orderly manner.

"This is the Slok Star Sea. This star sea is located in the central area of ​​the Danube Star Sea and the Dark Star Empire."

Zifa said as he magnified the entire sea of ​​stars.

A planetary fortress came into view, and small planets were scattered around the starry sky. And near the Danube Sea of ​​Stars, there was also a transit planet.

In addition, you can see the entire starry sky, densely covered with various space fortresses and defensive weapons.

"Isn't this the largest staging area outside the Imperial Army?"

Kafu and the others said with a slightly changed expression.

"Yes, let me give you a detailed introduction. This planetary fortress is called Hams. It is a movable planetary fortress. The Imperial Army placed it here as a springboard for the expeditionary force. According to the intelligence reported by our people, the Dark Star Empire's Fifth Legion, the Black Crow Legion, is stationed in this planetary fortress. One third of the entire legion's strength is stationed there."

"Also, this transit planet near the Danube Sea belongs to the neutral country of Uracan."

"This neutral country of Urakan is the second strongest among the six armies that defected to the Empire in the Danube Star Sea. The second ace legion of the neutral country of Urakan, the Water Snake Legion, is stationed on this transit planet. Once the war breaks out, this legion will definitely come out!"

"There are also two legions stationed in the neutral countries of Kudik and Fabidon at the edge of the Danube Sea. The Gray Spear Legion stationed in the neutral country of Kudik is expected to arrive at the battlefield five hours after the start of the war, and the Stone Legion stationed in the neutral country of Fabidon is expected to arrive twelve hours later."

"In addition to these, the Imperial Army has stationed defense troops at these space defense points."

The purple-haired girl explained to everyone in great detail the distribution of the Imperial Army and the neutral country's troops.

When Su Ming heard this, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

This legion commander actually knew everything about the Imperial Army and the neutral country's troops. It seemed that not only the Federation was infiltrated, but the other side was not much better either.

However, according to the troop distribution currently explained by the legion commander, the situation does not look optimistic at all.

It is obvious that the strategic target this time is the Imperial Army's planetary fortress Hams.

However, judging from the existing military strength, it would be extremely difficult for them to forcibly break through various defensive strongholds and capture the Hams Fortress.

The most important point is that the people in the neutral countries will not sit back and watch the show.

When their master is beaten, they will definitely come to the rescue as henchmen. Although their fighting power cannot be compared with the imperial army, they are outnumbered.

However, Su Ming did not say anything. Since the legion commander knew the enemy's situation so clearly, she could not be unaware of the problem of the disparity in troop strength. There should be a solution.

"Okay, I've introduced the general situation to you. Now let's start arranging specific combat tasks."

The purple-haired girl spoke directly to everyone.

"Yes!"

Kaf and others replied in a deep voice.

"First of all, our strategic goal is to capture the Hams planetary fortress. Leave this matter to Lieutenant General Firion. You don't have to participate in the battle!"

The purple-haired girl spoke directly to everyone.

Kraft and others were stunned. They didn’t have to participate in the main battlefield?

Su Ming's eyelids jumped, and he immediately reacted. If they didn't need to attack, it meant that there was another force in Xinghui Fortress, and that force was the main force.

At this time, the purple-haired girl ignored the astonished crowd and spoke.

"Deputy Commander Vickers!"

"exist!"

Vickers immediately stood up solemnly.

"I'm handing over the Tsar mothership, the twin battleships, and all the mecha units of the Thirteenth Legion to you. You will be in charge of removing these defensive strongholds and blocking the second ace legion of the neutral country of Urakan, the Water Snake Legion. You will also need to block the Gray Spear Legion and the Rock Legion later! I don't care what methods you use, but you will never allow the neutral country's troops to enter the main battlefield area, otherwise I will hold you accountable!"

The purple-haired girl spoke directly to Vice-Captain Vickers.

"Yes, Lord Legion Commander!"

Vickers replied forcefully.

When everyone heard this, they all showed excitement. After all this time, they were not dealing with the imperial army, but the army of a neutral country!

Su Ming couldn't help but smile. This battle was going to be easy!
Although they are leading a group of new recruits, the troops from the neutral country will not be that strong either. It is estimated that they are just equals, a fight between rookies.

Seeing the happy expressions on the faces of her subordinates, the purple-haired girl reminded them in a cold voice.

"Listen carefully. Although you are facing a neutral army, your equipment is more advanced than theirs. But you should not underestimate them. After all, they are their ace army and have a certain combat effectiveness. You must not underestimate the enemy."

In fact, the equipment of the federal forces is definitely better than that of the neutral countries, because even the ace legions of the neutral countries use many mechas that are modified from the first generation of mechas.

Even if they are both second-generation mechas, their mechas are definitely better than those of the neutral countries, because they are armed with the latest models of Iron Guards, and their performance absolutely crushes the opponent.

"understand!"

Vickers and others replied seriously.

"Okay, now everyone start getting ready."

The purple-haired girl immediately gave the order.
