I've already reached the maximum level, and you guys are just starting out?

Chapter 220 Can you handle a warship being delivered on the spot? Afraid my brother would suffer, but he ends up driving a Land Rover!

Sky Tower, 17 floors.

Tang Yunxuan's voice echoed in the hall.

Ye Ye, Ding Zhen, and the other tens of thousands of other test takers who had passed the selection process all gasped for breath.

"Assigning warship fortresses?"

"My Cao..."

"No pre-card move at all, a royal flush right from the start?"

Obviously.

Many of the examiners were surprised by Tang Yunxuan's directness.

They had originally thought there would be some polite words or words of encouragement.

"Haha."

In the center of the hall, Tang Yunxuan took in everyone's reactions, laughed loudly, but offered no further explanation.

In fact.

Logically speaking, these greenhorns who had just passed the assessment and had never even actually sailed a warship, let alone piloted a fortress, should not have been assigned to their own warship fortress immediately.

To know.

When he and Yin Zhenzhong were under Carol's command, they all underwent at least a month of training before they truly took over the authority of the fortress commander.

But now?

Time waits for no one.

The general public was unaware that Dawn Fortress had entered the Serena Star Cluster and was about to be surrounded by the Serena civilization, but the news had already spread among the upper echelons of Dawn Fortress.

Tang Yunxuan and the others knew very well that—

Soon, perhaps only a few days.

A galactic war on a scale even larger than that outside the P-8808 star system is about to descend upon Dawn Fortress.

Therefore.

This commander selection process has undergone some changes—it's been sped up, sped up, and sped up again.

"Now, I will announce the list!"

Tang Yunxuan's thoughts returned to reality, and he spoke loudly.

Swah——

A semi-transparent light screen appeared before his eyes.

The screen was covered with names and code names.

"Xie Zhenxuan!"

"Citizen ID number: 085265145!"

"Based on your performance in this assessment, you are promoted to commander of a regular warship!"

"You have been assigned to Starship Type: A-10086!"

"..."

Tang Yunxuan finished speaking.

A young man with black hair screamed from the crowd.

"what!"

"It's me! It's me!"

"I am Xie Zhenxuan!"

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief Tang! Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Dawn Fortress!"

"I will certainly live up to the fortress's trust in me. I will definitely become an outstanding warship commander and successfully complete every war mission!"

In the center of the hall, Tang Yunxuan smiled faintly, then raised his hand.

whoosh-

A stream of light flew out from the light screen in front of him and entered the body of the black-haired youth, Xie Zhenxuan.

next second.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a silver mark appeared on Xie Zhenxuan's right palm.

"That's the landing and control access to the A-10086 interstellar warship; you can think of it as a key."

"You should have received the docking information for warship A-10086 by now after logging into your internal network account."

"You have one day to familiarize yourself with your warship. Starting tomorrow, you will conduct live-fire exercises in the starry sky near the fortress!"

After Tang Yunxuan finished speaking, Xie Zhenxuan stood there dumbfounded.

Also stunned were the other tens of thousands of examinees in the hall.

"no……"

"I thought they were just announcing commander ranks and corresponding warships, but they fast-forwarded to handing out 'keys' right away!"

Beside Ye Ye, Ding Zhen, whom he had met by chance earlier, was now looking extremely shocked.

Just because——

Like Ye Ye, this was his third time taking the assessment.

Moreover, compared to Ye Ye, he spent a considerable amount of energy on the assessment forum, repeatedly checking various rumors about the assessment every day.

As far as he knows...

Those who clear the Sky Tower today should only have their commander level determined and their future warship fortress type clearly assigned.

Note that it's the future, not the present!

"Why is this different from what the experienced people on the forum said..."

Ding Zhen stood there, completely bewildered.

Ye Ye, on the other hand, had been focused entirely on his studies and assessments and was unaware of this information.

"Is it different?"

"This is perfect!"

"They can be assigned to warships on the spot!"

"even……"

"If we act quickly, we can board our own warship before the end of today!"

Ye Ye was very excited, his youthful face full of anticipation.

"continue!"

In the center of the hall, Tang Yunxuan continued to announce the list.

The number of people who passed the assessment was in the tens of thousands.

Tang Yunxuan did not pause after making the announcement as he had done before.

He read it aloud in one breath, his pace getting faster and faster.

to the end.

whoosh-

Whizzing--!
Tang Yunxuan had barely uttered a name when a stream of light flew out and entered the body of the corresponding examinee.

"Wow!"

"Hahaha!"

"I am the commander! I am the commander now!"

"I've been assigned to a large warship, a large warship!"

"..."

Inside the hall, cheers and screams erupted almost continuously.

Even those who were classified as the lowest-ranking commanders and assigned to the most ordinary warships were all jumping for joy.

"Even the most ordinary warship is still a warship!"

"Even the lowest-ranking commander is still a commander!"

Everyone's face was beaming with anticipation and excitement.

If Tang Yunxuan hadn't finished reading the list, many people would have been eager to leave the Sky Tower immediately, head to the fortress's warship docking bay, and board their own warships!
“Ding Zhen!”

"..."

Whoosh-!
A streak of light flew towards Ye Ye's location and then entered Ding Zhen's body.

"What level?"

"What battleship?"

Ye Ye was very curious and pulled his new friend aside to ask more questions.

"Let me see, let me see..."

Ding Zhen's voice trembled slightly as he shakily opened his internal network account.

then.

In the upper right corner, you can see a line of text that is bright and eye-catching.

[Rank: Miniature Fortress Commander]

Model: G-8886 Miniature Fortress

[Dock Area: ...]

[Specific information about the fortress: ...]

For a moment, Ding Zhen's eyes widened and his breath caught in his throat.

"What class? Is it a large warship?"

Seeing Ding Zhen's reaction, Ye Ye became even more curious and kept asking questions.

but……

He didn't get a reply from Ding Zhen, because the latter's brain had completely shut down.

in contrast.

Ye Ye heard Tang Yunxuan's words clearly.

His originally rapid speaking speed suddenly slowed down a bit, allowing him and the others in the hall to hear him clearly.

"Ding Zhen has been promoted to commander of a miniature fortress!"

Fortress number: G-8886!

"Congratulations!"

Tang Yunxuan even went so far as to say "Congratulations".

This statement came out.

The once noisy and bustling hall fell silent in an instant.

"what?"

"fortress?"

"Did I hear correctly?"

"The fortress commander has arrived!"

"No...can the fortress also issue supplies on the spot?"

"Why not? Just now, that stream of light—no, that key access—flew all to that kid!"

"..."

After the initial silence, an even more exaggerated clamor erupted. Congratulations, envy, surprise, curiosity…

All sorts of words echoed in Ding Zhen's ears.

"Congratulations!"

Ye Ye also sends his heartfelt blessings.

You can do it too!

Ding Zhen snapped out of her surprise and looked at Ye Ye, her tone serious.

His statement was not a compliment, but rather based on some evidence.

"Your ranking is higher than mine!"

"If I can become a fortress commander, you definitely can too!"

"even……"

"You might even be assigned to a higher-level fortress than I am!"

Ding Zhen spoke with absolute certainty, and Ye Ye subconsciously clenched his fists.

"Hopefully!"

Ye Ye, along with the other examinees in the hall who had not yet been assigned, all focused their attention on Tang Yunxuan.

"Next, we will announce the list of fortress commanders!"

Tang Yunxuan didn't try to hide anything; instead, he went straight to the point and got to the heart of the matter.

no doubt.

The atmosphere in the hall became lively once again.

"Zhang Qianqian!"

"..."

Tang Yunxuan continued calling out names and announcing the results.

Time, then, slowly passed by.

Micro Fortress Commander, Small Fortress Commander, Medium Fortress Commander...

to the end.

Even commanders of large fortresses have appeared!

Those were the top ten students in this assessment, and all ten of them were assigned to large interstellar fortresses!
this moment.

The pride and arrogance of these ten people reached their peak.

this moment.

The test takers who were originally assigned warships suddenly felt that their warships weren't so appealing anymore...

A space fortress is a being that surpasses even a warship!
Even the smallest micro fortress is far more comprehensive and powerful than a regular large warship!
Why is it described as 'ordinary'? Because Dawn Fortress does indeed possess 'extraordinary' warships.

Examples include star destroyers, the Odin spaceship, and star system motherships.

of course.

Warships of that caliber are so powerful that even super-large fortresses can't compete with them, let alone miniature fortresses.

These are also things that Ye Ye and his group of greenhorns cannot currently access.

"Why isn't it my turn yet...?"

The joys and sorrows of different people are not shared.

The top ten students were dancing with joy and crying tears of happiness as they were assigned to a large fortress.

Ye Ye, however, felt increasingly lost.

The top ten have all been announced, but he still hasn't received his name.

"You haven't forgotten about me, have you?!"

Ye Ye's face immediately turned bitter.

Standing beside him, Ding Zhen wanted to say something to comfort him, but didn't know how to begin.

because……

Tang Yunxuan, who was in the center of the hall, had already 'put away' the light screen projection in front of him.

It appears that the announcement of this list has officially come to an end.

Ding Zhen remained silent.

Ye Ye was also speechless.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Tang Yunxuan's last two words shattered Ye Ye's heart completely.

“They’ve really been forgotten…”

Ye Ye lowered his head.

They didn't even notice that the once noisy hall had fallen silent again.

Ding Zhen, who was standing next to Ye Ye, was standing there dumbfounded with his mouth agape!
Tang Yunxuan, the commander-in-chief of that super-large fortress, walked down from the high platform in the center of the hall and went straight to Ye Ye!
Ye Ye, with his head down, didn't see anything at the moment.

"Ye Ye?"

Tang Yunxuan's voice made Ye Ye's body stiffen.

He subconsciously looked up and realized that Tang Yunxuan was standing in front of him with a big smile on his face.

"Commander-in-Chief Tang!"

Ye Ye was puzzled, but he still subconsciously addressed him respectfully, his voice trembling slightly.

"Eh?"

"What a strange name."

At this moment, Tang Yunxuan seemed to have shed the aura of a commander-in-chief, resembling a kind older brother next door.

He reached out and patted Ye Ye on the shoulder.

"You can call me Brother Tang or Brother Xuan from now on, either is fine."

"Come with me now..."

"A surprise awaits you."

Ye Ye was bewildered, yet his bewilderment was tinged with a hint of anticipation.

"I haven't been forgotten?"

"Is it right?"

He carefully muttered to himself, while also saying goodbye to his companion Ding Zhen before following in Tang Yunxuan's footsteps.

Not long after.

Ye Ye followed Tang Yunxuan to Yin Zhenzhong and the others.

The commanders of the dozen or so super-large fortresses all looked at the young man with curiosity.

Ye Ye felt immense pressure!

"Let me introduce you to these people..."

Tang Yunxuan pulled Ye Ye along and spoke with a smile.

"I...I know everything!"

"The commanders are all my idols and role models who have supported my continuous learning and progress over this period of time!"

Ye Ye mustered his courage and spoke loudly.

then.

He greeted the super-large fortress commanders, including Yin Zhenzhong, with the utmost respect.

"Ha ha!"

Even the most mature and composed Yin Zhenzhong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ye Ye's adorable appearance.

"Welcome, Ye Ye."

Yin Zhenzhong patted Ye Ye on the shoulder and spoke with a smile.

"Ah, huh?"

"welcome?"

Ye Ye was dumbfounded.

Yin Zhenzhong looked at Tang Yunxuan with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The other commanders also raised their eyebrows.

"You haven't told him yet?"

Yin Zhenzhong's tone carried a hint of inquiry.

"Haha."

"It was just a joke with Ye Ye!"

Tang Yunxuan laughed heartily, completely lacking the dignified air he had when announcing the list on stage earlier.

In the center of the crowd, Ye Ye listened to the conversation of these riddle-solving people, completely bewildered and unable to make sense of it.

"say what?"

"Welcome to me...?"

Ye Ye didn't understand, and looked at Tang Yunxuan with sincere eyes.

Seeing this, Tang Yunxuan also stopped joking.

"Cough-cough-"

He cleared his throat, his expression becoming serious and solemn.

"Ye Ye!"

"To!"

"Now, I announce to you the lord's order!"

"You have been promoted to commander of a super-large fortress!"

Fortress number: S-49!

"Due to the needs of the war strategy, the S-49 fortress has not yet been deployed. So for the next few days, you will follow me and Commander Yin Zhenzhong to familiarize yourself with and learn about the relevant knowledge of super-large fortresses!"

"Starting tomorrow, you will gain partial access to two super-large fortresses belonging to Commander Yin Zhenzhong and me!"

"This is a task specifically requested by the lord!"

"I hope you can perform well and live up to the Lord's high regard and training!"

Tang Yunxuan finished speaking in one breath.

wow——

slam-la-

Commanders Yin Zhenzhong and others applauded with broad smiles.

Inside the hall.

The tens of thousands of other examinees who had been eavesdropping were now almost completely stunned!
"A commander of a super-large fortress!?"

Ding Zhen, who was originally worried about Ye Ye and thinking about how to comfort him, now felt like a clown!
He was worried that his brother would suffer, but his brother ended up driving a Range Rover!

No, not just Land Rover!

The super-large fortress is a super-large interstellar war fortress!
