Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 424 Rest (Five in One)

in the starry sky.

The broken and damaged ships left the battlefield in a disorderly manner.

The most conspicuous of them is the Blood Ridge Fortress. From time to time, a certain area of ​​the entire fortress explodes. Not only is the movement speed very slow, but it also stops and starts, as if it will sink at any time.

The surface armor of the Star Destroyer Dark Blood, Star Destroyer Shadow and Star Destroyer Black Death were riddled with holes, and flames were constantly burning in some parts.

As for the legendary biological star destroyer, the Revenant, the situation was not much better. Some damaged areas on the ship's surface were still being slowly repaired, and the monster heads embedded in it were all shriveled to the extreme.

The entire imperial army looked extremely embarrassed.

Inside the central control room of the Oath.

Rogelian sat in the command chair, looking at the images of the troops in front of him, his eyes flickering.

At this time, the door of the central control room opened.

Os walked in with an angry face. When the imperial soldiers at the scene saw him, they all lowered their heads and made way for him.

Soon Os walked up to Rogelian and questioned him with suppressed anger.

"Master Prime Minister Rogelian, why are you withdrawing our troops? You have come to support us, so we can definitely fight."

Rogelian turned his head to look at Os and spoke hoarsely.

“Os, you have to understand one thing. What you saw was only a local battlefield. The fighting over there in the Tidal Star Sea was not so intense. The people of the Apocalypse Kingdom were just working but not putting in any effort! We are fighting desperately with the Federation here. If things go wrong, we may both lose in the end, and then we will be giving dowry to the Apocalypse Kingdom for nothing! If the fighting over there in Apocalypse was as intense as yours, I would naturally not order a retreat.”

"We can't withdraw, either. Wouldn't that be like handing over the entire Danube Star Sea to the Federation?"

"It doesn't matter if we give it to them. We have almost plundered the Danube Star Sea anyway. The head of the Federation Parliament has come out this time, so we should give him some face! Also, these things are not what you need to worry about now. You should think about how to explain the reason for the defeat to the Emperor."

Rogelian replied coldly.

When Oss heard what Rogelian said, he clenched his hands into fists and his bones crackled.

City of stars.

Federal Parliament Administrative Building, Dawn Hall 2.

Jakkers, Farrow and many senior councillors sat around the parliamentary table and discussed the matter anxiously.

"Oh my god! The fighting over at Danube Star Sea is too fierce, isn't it? What if they all sink there?"

"Should we send some more troops to support us?"

"Where are the troops left to be drawn?"

As Farron listened to their discussion, he became more and more annoyed, while Jakkers was very tired.

If we lose this war, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this time, the door of the parliament was pushed open and Secretary Yun Rou hurried in.

Swish!
Everyone present's eyes were focused on Secretary Yun Rou.

Yun Rou then reported to everyone.

"The latest battle report from the front: a great victory in the Danube Star Sea. The Federation troops defeated the Dark Star Empire's expeditionary force and captured the neutral countries of Urakan and Kudik. The Imperial Army and the neutral royal family retreated to the Slok Star Sea and stationed at Urakan Transit Star."

"Haha, great!"

Farron slammed the conference table, stood up and spoke excitedly.

"Finally won!"

"Thank God!"

Many congressmen said with smiles on their faces.

Gakels immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the matter was finally settled.

Just when everyone was extremely happy, Yun Rou said with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"But there is still some bad news."

Everyone was startled when they heard this and turned to look at Yun Rou.

"What bad news?"

"Admiral Luo Jia was killed in action."

Yun Rou reported in a low voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, the joyful atmosphere at the scene disappeared instantly and everyone fell silent.

"What did you say! Luo Jia died?"

When Faroun heard the news, veins on his forehead bulged and he looked like an angry lion. Another son had died.

"Faroen, my condolences!"

Jakkers said with a sigh.

"Condolences."

Many congressmen also spoke up to persuade him.

The anger on Faron's face gradually faded, replaced by deep sadness.
-
Inside the advanced ward of Star Fortress.

Su Ming lay unconscious on the hospital bed, with Rhine sitting beside him watching.

Creak~
At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open.

Ankajia came in with two lunch boxes, glanced at the unconscious Su Ming, and asked Rhine with some concern.

"Rhine, how is the boss doing now?"

"The doctor just checked it out and said it's nothing serious. I just need to wake up and rest for three months."

Rhine said to Ankaja.

"That's good, let's eat first."

After hearing what Rhine said, Ankajia breathed a sigh of relief and said to Rhine.

Rhine glanced at Su Ming lying on the hospital bed, and then said to Ankajia.

"Let's eat outside so as not to disturb the boss."

"it is good!"

Ankaja nodded and replied.

The two then left the ward.

At this time, Su Ming woke up in a daze. He tried to sit up, raised his hand to look at the bright blood stains on his skin, and sighed slightly. Then he unplugged the wire and got out of bed.

Outside the ward door at this time.

Rhine and Ankaja squatted on the ground.

Ankajia opened the bag, took out two iron lunch boxes, and handed one to Rhine.

Rhine took it and opened the lunch box.

There was a large ball of yellow, sticky nutritious batter in the lunch box, with a few slices of bacon on top.

Rhine picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of the soup, which was stringy, and then started talking.

"Batter?"

"Just eat what you can. There's not much to eat in this hospital. It's just liquid food and nutrient solution. I don't dare to run too far, so I'll just buy something."

Ankajia scooped a mouthful and put it in her mouth and said.

"Too."

Rhine didn't complain and ate with big mouthfuls.

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

"What delicious food are you eating?"

Rhine turned his head and saw Su Ming standing behind him, and said subconsciously.

"Batter, would you like some, Boss?"

"No."

Su Ming smiled and shook his head.

Then Rhine and Ankajia came back to their senses and said happily.

"Boss, you wake up!"

"Well, don't eat these. Come on, I'll take you to eat something good."

Su Ming responded with a smile.

"Ah? Boss, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I'm fine! It's just that I've been on nutrient solution for the past few days, and I'm almost starving."

"But, can you leave the hospital without permission?"

Rhine asked hesitantly.

"What's wrong? I'm not sure about my own body yet. It's nothing."

Su Ming replied in a good mood.

"Then let's go! There's something delicious, who wants to eat this?"

Ankaja said with a grin.

The three then left the hospital and went to a nearby food street.

As a result, the scene before him left Su Ming completely dumbfounded.

The whole food street was super lively, with crowds of people everywhere.

Almost all the restaurants around were packed with many officers and soldiers.

There were even stalls set up on both sides of the street.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people?"

Su Ming asked in astonishment.

"Boss, you don't know that since the legion commander has taken over the command of the Danube Star Sea, the Star Castle has now become the temporary combat command headquarters. All the legion members have to come here to do business, so the flow of people has naturally increased, and business must be booming."

Rhine briefly explained it to Su Ming.

"I see, there's a barbecue stand over there with room left, let's go eat there."

Su Ming looked around and saw a barbecue stall on the street not far away with an empty table.

"it is good!"

Rhine and Ankaja responded immediately.

The three of them then walked to the barbecue stall.

At this time, a very young man wearing glasses greeted while grilling.

"Dear guests, what would you like to eat?"

"Roast us two pounds of mutton and two pounds of beef."

Su Ming ordered all the meat.

"Okay, you guys take a seat first, I'll grill it for you right away."

The stall owner said to Su Ming and others.

"it is good!"

Su Ming and the other two walked to the table next to them and sat down.

Ankajia said to Rhine excitedly.

"Finally I can have a good meal."

"Look at your lack of ability. Eat as much as you want. The boss has plenty of money."

Rhine teased with a smile.

"Boss, I'm welcome."

Ankajia turned her head and looked at Su Ming and said with a smile.

At this time, Su Ming was looking at the barbecue stall owner, who was grilling meat diligently. A girl in a blue suspender skirt was sitting next to him, gently massaging his thighs with her small hands.

In the curling smoke, the two had faint smiles on their faces.
Su Ming looked at this scene and was absent-minded for a moment.

At this time, Ankajia said mischievously.

"Boss, what are you looking at? Are you thinking about someone?"

"yes?"

Rhine also came over with a curious look.

"Go cool down and stop talking nonsense."

Su Ming replied unhappily.

"Haha."

Rhine and Ankaja burst out laughing immediately.

the next day.

Su Ming changed into his military uniform and walked towards the Starlight Castle alone.

Along the way, Su Ming saw many officers walking towards Xinghui Castle.

At this time, Su Ming heard the two majors walking in front of him discussing the war.

"We won this war, and we really made a fortune."

"Of course not! The damaged mechas and shipwrecks alone are an astronomical amount of wealth! Not to mention the captured Star Destroyer Black Crow. With a major overhaul, it will be a top-level combat force again!"

"Not only that, I heard that a large amount of supplies and wealth were looted in the two neutral countries of Urakan and Kudik. But unfortunately, a lot of supplies and wealth were transported to the Urakan transit planet by the Imperial Army, and they were not allowed to continue the offensive."

"We were still thinking about attacking. I heard that although we won the war, the people from the God's Word Inquisition came to arrest people. Originally, they wanted to arrest Mo Xiu, but considering that arresting Mo Xiu would cause the people from Sky City to rebel, and the fact that the commander of the Fifth Legion, Luo Kui, stepped forward to take the blame, they had to settle for the next best thing and arrested Luo Kui!"

"Aren't you arresting people even after winning the battle?"

"We can't help it. Who allowed the people from Sky City to send out troops without permission? Fortunately, we won the battle after all. The people above should be Paul Qui, so it shouldn't be a big deal. But I think his position as the legion commander may be in jeopardy."

"Then who do you think will be the new commander of the Fifth Legion?"

"I don't know about this. Normally, it should be the Sky City that nominates a new legion leader, but at this critical juncture, who can they nominate?"

"This matter is probably quite serious."

"That's how I feel."

When Su Ming heard this, he looked a little sad.

Thinking back to when I first met Corps Commander Luo Kui, he was so high-spirited. I didn't expect that he would be arrested and sent to a military court.

A moment later, Su Ming arrived at Xinghui Castle.

The entire interior of Xinghui Castle was very lively, with officers handling affairs everywhere.

Su Ming walked all the way to Long Bai's office. The guards along the way saw Su Ming and all saluted and let him pass.

Soon Su Ming arrived at the door of Long Bai's office and saw Mo Xiu sitting on the waiting chair with a helpless look on his face.

Su Ming hesitated for a moment, then walked over and greeted him.

"Lord Mo Xiu."

"Su Ming, are you okay? I heard you were in the hospital?"

Mo Xiu was also surprised to see Su Ming.

"never mind."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"That's good. I really want to thank you this time. If you hadn't acted in time, it would have been over."

Mo Xiu said gratefully.

"Don't be so polite. I actually admire your Sky City troops very much. You should be credited with winning this war."

Su Ming replied politely.

Of course, these words are not pure compliments. Although the people in Sky City are not very smart and difficult to manage, they are really excellent in other aspects.

He had seen so many legion battles, and among them, the people from Sky City charged the most fiercely, and they were almost not afraid of anything.

When Mo Xiu heard this, he also smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Su Ming pretended to be ignorant and asked.

"Master Mo Xiu, why are you sitting here?"

"Alas, I came here to plead for Luo Kui, but Long Bai refused to see me, so I can only wait for her here."

Mo Xiu said helplessly.

When Su Ming heard what Mo Xiu said, he immediately realized that the people in the Divine Words Tribunal were notoriously cold-blooded and heartless. However, with Long Bai's identity, he should be able to have some say or get to know some people.

Moreover, Luo Kui's crime of violating the order of the congress is not a small one. To put it bluntly, it is normal for him to be shot, so it is necessary to plead for leniency.

"Well, regarding this matter, how about I find an opportunity later to say a few good words in front of the Legion Commander?"

Su Ming thought for a moment and said.

After all, they had fought side by side.

"Okay, I'll do it for you."

Mo Xiu replied with gratitude.

"Then I'll go in first."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he walked to the door of Long Bai's office, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong!"

"Come in!"

A cold voice came from the office.

Su Ming pushed the door open and walked in.

I saw Long Bai sitting at his desk, reviewing documents with his head down.

Su Ming walked up to Long Bai, saluted and said.

"Legion Commander."

Long Bai put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at Su Ming and asked.

"How are you feeling?"

"It's nothing, the doctor told me to just rest for three months."

Su Ming reported to Long Bai.

After hearing this, Long Bai said to Su Ming.

"Well, I'll give you a three-month vacation. Go back to the third planet and rest well. If you feel uncomfortable, go to Xiguang Laboratory to find Dr. Blacks."

"it is good."

When Su Ming heard this, he nodded in response.

"Also, here is your medal for this battle, as well as the military merit application form. Take it back and go through the process."

Long Bai took out a box and a document and handed them to Su Ming.

"it is good!"

Su Ming took it, opened the box and took a look. He saw five moon badges and seven star badges inside. Two of them were dark red moon badges, corresponding to the two V-generation biological mechas he had killed.

It’s a pity that he didn’t kill Agrolot, that guy is definitely the Sun Badge.

As for the military merit report form, it was marked with 9000 military merits, including the kill reward for Lieutenant General Muk.

At this time, Long Bai continued to speak to Su Ming coldly.

"Also, I have something else for you."

"whats the matter?"

Su Ming asked with a serious expression.

"When you go back this time, send Ilinias back to the Xiguang Laboratory for maintenance, and escort Commander Luo Kui back for trial."

Long Bai explained to Su Ming.

After listening to Long Bai's words, Su Ming hesitated and said.

"My Lord, even though Luo Kui and his men disobeyed orders, at least the war was won. Can't they be given a lighter sentence?"

After listening to Su Ming's words, Long Bai glanced at him and said.

"Everyone should be held accountable for what he does."

"Ok."

Su Ming replied with a little embarrassment.

"Go!"

Long Bai said coldly.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he turned and left.

When he walked out of the office, Mo Xiu came towards him and asked anxiously.

"Su Ming!"

"Master Mo Xiu, why are you still here?"

Su Ming was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Mo Xiu to still be there.

"Well, how's it going?"

Mo Xiu asked with a wry smile.

"You may need to be mentally prepared for that. I have already spoken for Lord Luo Kui. But the legion commander means that everyone must be responsible for their own actions."

Su Ming told Mo Xiu exactly what he had said.

"I understand, thank you."

When Mo Xiu heard this, he sighed dejectedly.

"I'm sorry I can't be of much help. I have something else to do and I'm leaving now."

"Walk slowly!"

"Ok!"

Su Ming nodded slightly, turned and left.

Three days later.

Star Fortress Dock No. 1.

The Level 5 mothership Zephyr is located at the berth, in front of its No. 1 landing entrance.

Lieutenant General Alife and Su Ming stood side by side, Corps Commander Luo Kui stood in front of them, while Rhine and others stood solemnly behind them.

This escort was carried out jointly by Alifi and Su Ming, and they were aboard the First Legion's level 5 mothership, the Kaze. As for the Fengdong, it had already been moved inside the mothership.

At this time, officers from the Third, Fifth and Sixth Legions gathered in the distance. They all came to see Luo Kui off, but they were all stopped by the soldiers in charge of periphery alert.

But they kept shouting.

"Lord Legion Commander!"

"Lord Roque!"

Luo Kui turned his head and glanced at the many subordinates who were seeing him off, his eyes fluctuated slightly, and his expression revealed a hint of complexity.

At this time, a man wearing a special black uniform and a faceless metal mask, whose appearance could not be seen clearly, walked over and stood in front of Su Ming and others.

The leading captain spoke coldly.

"I am Moga, the Inquisition of the Word of God. The person is handed over to our care."

"it is good!"

Su Ming and Lieutenant General Alife nodded.

At this time, a subordinate behind Moga picked up the genetic handcuffs and walked forward to put them on Luo Kui.

After seeing this, Su Ming immediately stepped forward and raised his hand to block the official from the Divine Word Tribunal.

"What do you mean?"

The official raised his head and looked at Su Ming, asking in a bad tone.

"There's no need to handcuff him, right? He's not a dangerous criminal, can you give him some respect?"

Su Ming said to the official of the Divine Word Tribunal.

"I think Su Ming is right. He is not a traitor. There is no need to treat his compatriots like this."

Lieutenant General Alife also spoke up.

It was really ugly to be handcuffed, especially with so many Sky City officials watching there.

When Luo Kui heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Su Ming and was also very surprised.

"No, rules are rules. Are you responsible if something goes wrong?"

The official of the Tribunal of God's Word said this in a rigid tone.

"I'm responsible."

Su Ming replied straightforwardly.

The official was also startled, then turned to look at Moga, who was silent for a few seconds and said.

"Put it away and take it aboard."

"Yes."

The official responded quickly.

"Thank you."

Luo Kui thanked Su Ming and followed the people from the Tribunal onto the boat.

Just as Luo Kui stepped onto the gangway, he turned around and looked at all the officers who were watching him from a distance. He clenched his right fist, placed it on his heart, and made a gesture to everyone.

"Captain Luo Kui!"

The many officers who came to see him off burst into tears.

Luo Kui then turned around and boarded the ship.

Su Ming was also somewhat moved when he saw the scene in front of him. This was another different feeling, a belief condensed by bravery, fearlessness and passion.

Then he took his men on board. Soon, the Level 5 mothership, Kaze, started up, slowly left the Starlight Fortress, and activated the superluminal flight device to leave.
-
A few days later.

In the room of the Fengdong.

Su Ming lay on the bed, raised his bracelet to log into the Qunxing Forum and read the latest posts.

The entire Star Forum was very lively, with everyone discussing the great victory in the Danube Star Sea.

The most popular post was titled "The End of Black Crow".

Su Ming clicked on the post.

There were photos attached to the post, the first one was the first round of shooting between the Black Crow and the Wind Dome.

Su Ming browsed through the photos, which recorded in detail the entire battle process and the final scene of the Black Crow being sunk.

There are hundreds of millions of comments under the entire post.

"Awesome! It's worthy of being the Wind Sky!"

"It's so handsome!"

"This is the first Star Destroyer to be sunk in recent years!"

"The Imperial Army is probably going to cry to death."

"Haha, in a few years, we will have a new star destroyer."

Su Ming looked at the comments and the scene of the Black Crow being sunk, and he sighed.

The first ship to be severely damaged was actually the Dark Blood, but unexpectedly, the Dark Blood did not sink, but the Black Crow sank first.

Su Ming couldn't help but shook his head and then deleted the post.

At this time, Su Ming saw a post being quickly pushed to the top, and then he clicked on it to take a look.

There is a video in the post.

Su Ming clicked on the video and immediately saw a man wearing a mask and with special body treatments, speaking excitedly.

"Brothers and sisters, breaking news! In this Danube Star Sea Battle, the Imperial Army deployed V-generation biological mechas for the first time. You know, it's usually difficult for us to see V-generation pure mechanical mechas, let alone biological mechas! Moreover, the Imperial Army's biological mechas are super powerful. One can defeat a group of V-generation mechas! But guess what, this mysterious V-generation biological mecha of our Federation is even more powerful. I have a battle video here to show you!"

The image suddenly switched to the starry sky battlefield.

I saw the V-generation bio-mech Ilinias chasing the V-generation bio-mech Dark Soul. The two sides kept colliding and fighting, and the terrifying impact kept sweeping across.
The comments below popped up like crazy.

"Fuck, that's awesome!"

"Look carefully, no one dares to approach their battle area, not even the V-generation pure mechanical mechas dare to approach rashly!"

"Wait, why is this perspective so weird? It feels like our bio-mech is looking at me. It gives me the creeps."

"You are stupid. This video was leaked by the Imperial Army. We don't have any information about it. We can't find any information even if we search for it."

"I see. Who is driving this mecha? It's so awesome?"

"Guess who's driving it? I guarantee you won't be able to guess."

"Who?"

"Major General Su Ming of the Thirteenth Legion."

"Bullshit, how could he be driving it? With the way he looks like a smug villain, how could it be possible? And he's only a major general, how can he be qualified to drive such an awesome mecha? He must be a general at least!"

"That's right. If he was driving, I would eat ten kilograms of poop on live broadcast!"

"That's right. If it's really him, give me five pounds from the upstairs."

"If you ask me, it's all bullshit!"

"I'm not kidding, this news came from the Imperial Army!"

"Can you believe what the Imperial Army says? It's definitely a rumor."

"That's right. The Federation hasn't announced it yet."

Su Ming looked at these comments and shook his head with a smile.

But just as he was watching with great interest, a prompt box suddenly popped up.

"Sorry, the post you were viewing has been deleted."

When Su Ming saw this prompt, he closed the forum interface. It seemed that the Federation was blocking related news.

But there are just too many people sending it, and public sentiment is high right now, so they can’t control it too strictly.

dong dong!

At this time there was a knock on the door.

"The door is unlocked, come in."

Su Ming raised his head and shouted.

At this time, the door opened and Rhine walked in.

"What's matter?"

Su Ming looked at Lai Yin and asked.

"Nothing, we are about to reach the third planet."

Rhine said to Su Ming.

After Su Ming heard this, he said to Rhine.

"When the Kaze reaches the third planet, have Timmy control the Wind to detach from the mothership and land at the Imperial Academy's interstellar airport. The people from the Xiguang Laboratory are already waiting there, so let's transfer Ilinias to them first."

"it is good!"

Rhine and others responded immediately.

The third planet, the outer sky.

Ripples appeared in the starry sky, and the level 5 mothership Kaze emerged from it.

Immediately afterwards, the bottom of the Kaze cracked, and the Fudo slowly separated from the mother ship, and then the two ships flew towards the third planet.

Soon after.

The level 4 battleship Fengdong landed smoothly on the berth.

At this time, the staff of Xiguang Laboratory had been waiting here for a long time. They wanted to transport Ilinyas back.

Su Ming accompanied Dr. Boden down.

"Master Su Ming, thank you for your hard work this time. We will take Ilinyas back with us."

Boden spoke to Su Ming very politely.

"it is good!"

Su Ming nodded in response.

Boden and others then used a professional transport vehicle to transport the packaged Ilinias away.

When Rhine and others saw the vehicle going away, they began to ask.

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

Su Ming raised his bracelet to check the time, then spoke to Rhine and the others.

"It's still early, why don't you come with me to the Parliament Building to report your military merits. I'll just report your military merits now."

"Okay! Thank you, Boss!"

Rhine and others responded happily.

Soon after.

Su Ming brought Rhine and others to the third floor of the Parliament Tower.

The entire declaration hall was extremely lively, with officers and generals everywhere.

"Wow, there are so many people? How long will the line last?"

Rhine and others said in surprise.

"Once the war starts, there will naturally be more people declaring their military merits. Let's go and queue up first."

Su Ming took a quick look and also felt a bit of a headache.

"it is good!"

Rhine and others responded quickly.

Soon Su Ming and his team walked to the end of the submission line and stood there.

At this time, a flat-headed man and a pointed-faced boy who were standing in front of Su Ming were chatting animatedly.

"Joel, have you heard? The battle was won in the Danube Star Sea, and Commander-in-Chief Roque was brought to trial."

"How could I not have heard of it? What nonsense! But this is not the biggest thing."

"Then what's the bigger deal?"

At this time, Su Ming also became interested and asked curiously.

Yor and the other man turned their heads to look at Su Ming, their expressions startled, and they immediately saluted and greeted him.

"Sir!"

"Don't be so formal."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Yes, sir. But sir, why do you look so familiar? Have we met somewhere before?"

"No, you may have the wrong person."

Su Ming said with a smile.

"is it?"

Yoel scratched his head and replied.

"Let's not talk about that for now. What happened?"

Su Ming asked with a smile.

"Sir, you know that Commander Roque has been brought to trial, right?"

Joel said cheerfully.

"I know this."

"Let me tell you, Danube Star Sea only sent one person to the Trial Court, but Tidal Star Sea sent more than 40 people!"

"More than forty? Could it be that the fight in Tidal Star Sea was even more brutal than that in Danube Star Sea?"

Su Ming was also very surprised when he heard what Yueer said.

"What are you thinking about? After the battle broke out in the Tidal Star Sea, when the legions under the Rain City fought against the Kingdom of Apocalypse, many soldiers and officers retreated from the battlefield, disobeyed orders, surrendered, and some even became deserters! The most speechless thing is that there was an officer who ran back and drove a mecha to surrender to the enemy. The city lord Alicia was so angry that she went to the front line to supervise the battle herself!"

"No way? Is this true? It can't be that bad, right?"

Su Ming asked a little confused.

"What's true or false? I just came down from the Tidal Star Sea, how could I not know what's going on? I tell you, fighting with those women is really life-threatening! If it weren't for the people from the Apocalypse Kingdom, who didn't seem to want to push too hard, maybe the news of the defeat would have been reported back."

Joel complained unhappily.

When Su Ming heard this, his expression became extremely interesting.

He suddenly felt that the group of burly guys in Sky City seemed to be quite good. At least such a disappointing situation would not occur in the fight.

The troops in the Rain City are extremely corrupt.

Just then, Yoel's companion shouted.

"It's our turn."

"Sir, we won't tell you for now."

After saying this, Joel took the approval report and walked towards the old man in front of the small door.

Rhine and others said with strange expressions.

"Boss, I didn't expect that Tidal Star Sea is such a pitfall. Fortunately, we were not assigned there."

"Ah."

Su Ming responded in agreement.

There is a saying that goes, I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates.

At this time, in the spacious and simple review room.

Many people wearing blue work clothes and faceless metal masks were busy reviewing application form after application form.

Before they had even finished reviewing them, piles of application reports came in.

Buin looked at the report in his hand and said with a frown.

"Since the war began, the number of these military merit application forms has increased hundreds of times."

"The surge is fine, but what kind of application report is this? Are they applying for 10 points, 5 points, or 20 points? It's meaningless if you deduct them. Do you dare to use a larger application form?"

Rodger said with a headache.

"Hey, I have 200 points here, this is good!"

Buin said with a smile.

"Humph!"

Rodger snorted unhappily.

At this time, Carlochi spoke in surprise.

"Master, look at this application form, 9000 points!"

"What did you say? 9000 points? Are you kidding me? Show me."

Rodger immediately stood up and walked over to take Carlochi's report.

Buin and others came over upon seeing this and asked curiously.

“Who reported it?”

"Su Ming, it's him again! There's also the signature of the chief auditor on it."

Rodger looked at the name and said in surprise.

"That's not surprising. He is a monster. But Rodger, you took advantage of me last time. Do you want to deduct some more this time?"

Buin teased with a smile.

After hearing this, Rodger replied unhappily.

"I'll deduct some points last time. When the auditor came back, I looked at him coldly. I won't deduct a single point. Whoever wants to deduct can do so."

"Ha ha!"

Buin and others burst out laughing.

"Master, what should we do with the application forms for the Thirteenth Legion?"

Karochi asked hesitantly.

"Who signed it?"

Rodger then asked.

"It's Major General Su Ming."

Carlochi spoke up.

"It's not Major General Su Ming, it should be Lieutenant General Su Ming. Once these 9000 points of military merit are approved, he will be promoted to Lieutenant General."

Buin corrected Karlochi.

Generally speaking, it takes 10000 points of military merit to be promoted to major general, 20000 points to be promoted to lieutenant general, 50000 points to be promoted to general, and 100000 points plus review to be promoted to senior general.

When Rodger heard this, his expression changed.

“You can deduct it.”

"How much do you want to deduct? One cut first? Another cut?"

Karochi asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Forget it, just give it to me and I'll do it myself."

Rodger said with a headache.

Although Su Ming is only a lieutenant general, judging from the current situation, his future is limitless. Moreover, he is also the favorite of the chief inspector. If he is cut off like this, it will be a disaster.

Outside the audit room.

Rhine and others said while rubbing their hands excitedly.

“Why hasn’t it been approved yet?”

"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't worry, I'll give each of you a little more. Let them chop as much as they want. There will definitely be some left."

Su Ming said to Rhine and others with a smile.

In fact, he was a little unsure, after all, this was his first time signing and approving.

At this time, the door of the review room opened, and a staff member came out again with a stack of review forms and shouted.

"Su Ming, Rhine"

"coming!"

After hearing this, Su Ming and others immediately walked over.

Soon they got their respective application forms.

Su Ming took a look at his application form and found that all 9000 points were passed, without a single point deducted!
"Haha, Boss! You deducted 900 points out of the 80 points you reported to me!"

Rhine said happily.

"My share was only deducted a little, enough for me to be promoted to major."

Ankaja said with a smile on her face.

"That's enough for me!"

Zhang Yi and the others were all grinning from ear to ear.

"Are you satisfied?"

Su Ming asked everyone.

"satisfy!"

Zhang Yi and others responded excitedly.

At this moment, Su Ming's bracelet vibrated and a prompt message popped up.

"Dear Mr. Su Ming, the Federal Military Department officially notifies you that your military merit review has passed. Your accumulated military merit points have reached 25067, and your rank has been automatically promoted to Lieutenant General. Please go to the military building to correct your military uniform."

Su Ming looked at the message and smiled.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Rhine and others asked curiously.

"Nothing, I was promoted to lieutenant general, and I have to go to the military headquarters to get a military uniform."

Su Ming said to Rhine and others with a smile.

There is generally no change in the military uniform from major general to general, except for some epaulettes that need to be replaced.

"Congratulations, boss."

Rhine and others said in surprise.

"Thank you. You guys go back to school first. I just happen to have some things to take care of."

Su Ming looked at the time on his bracelet. It was only 11 o'clock in the morning. He was going to change into his military uniform and then drive the pseudo V-generation mecha, Lord of Shadows.

Go back to the family again in the evening.

"it is good!"

Rhine and others responded one after another.

-
The Kingdom of Apocalypse, the Palace of God.

Fan Luo sat on the throne with a gloomy expression, his eyes were extremely red.

Deng Deng~
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.

Then Archbishop Deshier walked into the palace, came before Van Luo, bowed respectfully and asked.

"Lord Divine Emperor, you are looking for me?"

"Ok!"

"What happened?"

"Hmph, the envoy of the Dark Star Empire just visited us and gave us a final ultimatum, asking us to attack the Tidal Star Sea with all our strength. If we continue to do nothing, the Emperor will withdraw his troops back to the defense line and never come out again! Then we will have to face the Federation alone."

Fan Luo said coldly.

"What should we do? Should we send the Tidal Star Sea troops to attack with all their might?"

Archbishop De Hill asked after a moment's hesitation.

"No, activate the dark chess piece in the glowing sea of ​​stars."

Fan Luo said with a creepy smile.

Desir was also startled when he heard this, but then he replied respectfully.

"Understood, Lord Divine Emperor."
-
Starlight City, Military Honor Hangar.

The entire hangar is very spacious, with parking spaces planned one by one.

However, most of the parking spaces are empty, with only a few spaces having mechas parked.

At this time, two middle-aged men in colonel uniforms stood in front of a fourth-generation customized mecha, smiling and praising each other.

"Kayin, I really envy you. I sprayed another red star."

"Come on, Lufey! You have three red stars, one more than me."

"Haha, we're only ahead by one for now."

At this moment, a login entrance suddenly opened, and then Su Ming flew in controlling the pseudo V-generation mecha, Lord of Shadows.

Kayin and the other man were also surprised when they saw the Lord of Shadows, and spoke solemnly.

"A pseudo V-generation mecha? Who is this?"

"There are also many moons and stars spray-painted on it."

"This is a regular customer. His name is Su Ming."

At this time, an old man with a hunched body, wearing a black work suit, with wrinkles on his skin and a kind face came over and said.

"Su Ming! I've heard of him. He's the general who was scolded so badly recently."

Kayin reacted immediately.

Expansion!
At this time, Su Ming controlled the pseudo V-generation mecha, Lord of Shadows, and landed next to the Kayin mecha.

Manager Anke immediately came forward to greet him.

click!
The Shadow Lord's cockpit opens.

Su Ming, wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, floated down and landed steadily on the ground.

"General Su Ming, you are here again!"

Manager Anke greeted Su Ming with a smile.

"Manager Anke, you haven't finished get off work yet."

Su Ming greeted with a smile.

"Aren't they waiting for you? Besides, your mecha can't be sprayed well by ordinary staff."

Supervisor Anke was very impressed with Su Ming, as he was the one who sprayed the stars several times.

"Thank you for your help."

"It's a small matter. Compared to you killing enemies on the battlefield, what we do is easy. Wait, General Su Ming? Have you been promoted?"

Director Anke asked in great shock.

He remembered that when Su Ming came to spray stars years ago, he was still a major general, but now he has been promoted to lieutenant general.

"Yes, it was just promoted."

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

"How many stars do you want to spray this time?"

"Five moons, two of which are dark red moons, two are deep red moons, one is an ordinary red moon, and there are seven red stars."

Su Ming spoke directly to Director Anke.

"So many? And two of them are Dark Red Moons?"

After listening to Su Ming's words, Manager Anke's eyes widened, especially because two of the five red moons were dark red moons?

This is simply unbelievable?
Normally, those who can be rated as Dark Red Moon basically drive V-generation mechas.

"Yes, this is my badge."

Su Ming took out the badge box and opened it.

After reading it, Manager Anke took a deep breath and said to Su Ming with a wry smile.

"General Su Ming is amazing. I will start spray painting for you right away."

"It's troublesome."

Su Ming replied politely.

"It's not a big deal, but with the way you're promoting me, I think I can expect to see you promoted to general before I retire."

Anke complimented Su Ming.

"Haha, it's still early, but I appreciate your good words."

Su Ming replied modestly.

"Please wait for two hours."

After Anke finished speaking, he walked towards the tool storage room.

Su Ming walked towards the lounge chair next to him.
