Chapter 264: Emergency Operation (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Feng Zhi Ye) (Fourth Update)

Therefore, Jessa dared to threaten Commander Xiao Ye so viciously, but he dared not do the same to Fleck.

“Aren’t you just making trouble?”

“I have no choice; there are very important personnel and items on that ship.”

“What items?”

“I don’t know either; they didn’t tell me, only gave a death order that they must be rescued.”

“What exactly happened on that ship?”

Fleck asked, his brows furrowed.

“Not clear. All we know is that the people inside are almost all dead. The two Level 3 battleships responsible for escorting also sent people up, but they all died!”

Jessa anxiously explained the situation.

“You don’t know anything, and yet that ship is so dangerous inside, and you still dare to send my students to rescue them?”

Vice Principal Fuleike knew with certainty that there must be illicit contraband that had gone out of control inside the ship.

“Lord Fleck, our soldiers’ lives are also lives. When we go to the battlefield, we don’t consider whether it’s dangerous or not!”

“But they haven’t grown up yet. In the future, they can serve the Federation better, and they shouldn’t be put in danger so early.”

“Lord Fleck, this mission is very important. The Federation needs them. This is not a meaningless sacrifice.”

Jessa replied almost shouting.

Fleck fell silent upon hearing Jessa’s words.

Meanwhile, in the training area.

Su Ming and the others sat on the ground, drinking water and chatting.

“We should reach our destination in about two days. Once we complete the mission and return to school, we must have a good meal at the cafeteria.”

“Exactly. I used to think the cafeteria food was mediocre, but after getting on the ship, I realized how good the school cafeteria’s food is.”

Rhine and the others complained.

“You should be content. You’re eating special meals now! The ingredients used are all good; it’s just that the chef isn’t as good as the school cafeteria’s! If you don’t believe me, go eat at the main cafeteria later and taste the soldiers’ food on the ship, and you’ll know.”

Mia lectured while sipping her wine.

“Hehe! Teacher, we were just complaining a little.”

Rhine and the others scratched their heads and replied.

Just then, a piercing alarm suddenly blared on the ship, followed by a sudden broadcast.

“Emergency notification! The ship is entering emergency combat status. All teachers are requested to proceed immediately to the combat meeting room.”

“What’s going on? Entering emergency combat status? How did it involve combat? Aren’t we in a safe zone?”

“Yeah, what’s happening? Aren’t we just responsible for transportation?”

“Could it be a monster attack?”

Rhine and the others asked in confusion.

Su Ming’s heart sank as he listened to the broadcast, a very bad premonition washing over him.

Of course, it wasn’t just Su Ming and his classmates who were in an uproar; students from other classes were also discussing in astonishment.

Mia looked at this scene and shouted sternly.

“What are you panicking about? All of you get into your mechs and enter standby status. Wait for me to return!”

“Yes!”

Su Ming and the others responded with serious expressions, then rushed towards the Iron Guard one by one.

At this time, students from other classes who hadn’t gotten into their mechs also rushed towards them.

Mia and the other teachers hurried away to the combat meeting room.

Half an hour later, inside the combat meeting room.

Fleck explained the whole story to Mia and the others, as well as the objectives of this combat mission.

“We have two objectives for this combat mission. The first is to rescue Dr. Tingli and Li Mengqi, and the other is to retrieve a top-secret square box.”

“What’s inside that box?”

Teacher Tang Xuan asked, her brows tightly furrowed.

“I don’t know, and I don’t know what happened on the nautilus either. Even Major General Jessa, who issued the rescue order, is unclear.”

Fleck replied with a sigh.

“Hmph, what else could it be? It must be something illicit. It’s come to this, and those old folks up there still refuse to say.”

Mia complained angrily.

Fleck angrily knocked on the conference table and snapped at Mia.

“I called you here to discuss combat operations, not for you to complain.”

“Alright, got it.”

Mia lifted her hand and scratched her ear, replying.

At this moment, Teacher Ofam spoke in a deep voice.

“This mission is too dangerous. I don’t think it’s suitable for students to execute. How about letting the soldiers on the Red Fang and us execute it together?”

“No, we don’t have enough manpower. This operation requires us to go deep inside the nautilus. This Level 4 mothership is not a regular combat mothership, but a fortress-type mothership. Its internal structure is particularly complex, requiring a large number of personnel to go in for rescue. And the worst part is, the people dispatched from the two accompanying Level 3 escort ships to the mothership all died.”

Fleck said, his head aching.

“I just don’t understand. How dare they transport such important people and items with a Level 4 ship, and without high-level escorts?”

Teacher Tang Xuan was also very angry, as their foolish mistakes forced them to clean up the mess.

“If you ask me, we should just not accept this rescue mission.”

Mia leaned back in her chair and said resignedly.

“Is that possible? This would be abandoning them to die. If word gets out, where would Royal Court Academy put its face?”

Fleck immediately rejected Mia’s foolish idea.

After hearing Fleck’s words, Mia said with a serious expression.

“Since you put it that way, it means there’s no other choice; we can only go in for the rescue. Then we must consider the worst outcome: this operation will definitely result in significant casualties. Therefore, my suggestion is to select five of the most elite students from each class to participate in the operation, while the other students remain outside to provide support and not go in to die.”

Tang Xuan and the others fell silent after hearing Mia’s words.

Mia’s method could reduce casualties, but it also meant that the most promising students might lose their lives.

“Let’s do this. Everyone go prepare. The Red Fang is already heading towards the nautilus.”

After a moment of struggle, Fleck finally said with a heavy heart.

“Alright!”

Tang Xuan and the others didn’t say much either.

In the training area.

Su Ming and the others waited patiently.

Just then, Mia and the other teachers hurried back.

“Teacher, what happened?”

Su Ming and the others looked at Mia curiously.

“A returning Level 4 mothership has encountered a problem, and we need to go rescue it.”

Mia explained the situation in a deep voice.

“Oh, we thought something serious had happened. Turns out it’s just a rescue mission.”

Rhine and the others didn’t take the matter to heart after hearing this.

“It’s not that simple. This mission is very dangerous. Everyone immediately check your mech’s fuel and ammunition. Those who need supplies should send a supply request to logistics! Also, Su Ming, Rhine, Elu, Anqi, Zhang Yi, the five of you, need to select some extra personal weapons to carry.”

Mia said seriously.

“Understood!”

Su Ming and the others’ expressions shifted slightly upon hearing Mia’s words.
