Chapter 327: Becoming Famous (Five-in-One)

Boom!

With a dull thud, Tsar landed steadily next to the base.

Click!

One by one, the exits opened.

Su Ming and the others maneuvered their mechas out.

At this moment, the base’s broadcast announced:

“Attention all logistics personnel, the mothership Tsar has landed. Begin loading cargo immediately.”

Following the broadcast, Iron Heads began moving containers towards Tsar!

Since only Second Generation Mecha could perfectly adapt to space combat, all the First Generation Iron Heads equipped by the Thirteenth Corps were used as porters and repair mechas.

Immediately after, a message popped up on everyone’s wristbands:

“Latest military order: Due to time constraints, all personnel will have a final three-day rest. After three days, immediately board Tsar for departure. At that time, no one who has not arrived will be waited for. Therefore, all legion commanders and team leaders are requested to compile and submit the list of personnel who have not arrived as soon as possible.”

“No way? We’re leaving so soon!”

“Oh my god! I can barely walk!”

“Sigh, isn’t this just reckless?”

Soldiers said with low spirits.

At this time, Su Ming, who was maneuvering his mecha back to the warehouse, saw the reminder message on his wristband and sighed slightly.

This was truly too rushed. Normally, a military corps of this size would take one or two years to reorganize. But now they had to depart in three days. This was a classic case of rushing things.

However, Su Ming also understood the reason: the troops of the Fifth Army and the Sixth Legion were trapped in the three Neutral Countries and could be executed at any time.

Therefore, he did not complain.

At night.

Su Ming returned to his dormitory, sitting on a chair, browsing through the information of his subordinates on his wristband.

Knock, knock!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

“The door’s unlocked, come in!”

Su Ming turned off his wristband and said.

The door was immediately opened, and Rhein and the others walked in, calling out to Su Ming.

“Squad leader!”

“Haha, you’re all here! How’s military life, are you adapting?”

Su Ming said with a smile to Rhein and the others.

“Oh, don’t even mention it! Those new recruits are really terrible. They don’t have much skill, but each one is more arrogant than the last, making me have to give them a good beating!”

Ankajia complained angrily.

“Exactly, they’re really bad. Some can’t even operate a mecha properly. I used to think those rebels in the Neutral Countries weren’t great, but I found that our own people are even worse!”

“That’s right, pigs are smarter than them!”

Zhang Yi and the others complained incessantly.

“Alright, stop complaining. You need to understand something: not everyone graduated from Royal Court Academy, and not everyone is born a genius. Their skill level can’t be that high. You need to be considerate of them.”

Su Ming explained to Ankajia and the others.

“I know, but I really can’t stand it! And my superior is such a fussbudget. It’s just started, and he’s already lectured us several times.”

Zhang Yi replied helplessly.

“My superior is no easy-going person either. I even want to beat him up. Squad leader, can you think of a way to transfer us under your command?”

Rhein looked at Su Ming with anticipation.

“Yes, transfer all of us over. We want to work under you.”

Elu and the others pleaded with hopeful faces.

“That’s a bit difficult. The Thirteenth Corps is different from other corps; personnel transfers are very troublesome. Don’t worry, give me some time, let me think of a way, and I will definitely transfer all of you over.”

Su Ming promised Rhein and the others.

“Okay!”

Rhein and the others also knew that this was not easy.

However, they believed that if Su Ming said it, it would definitely come true.

“Alright, you guys hurry back and rest! Lest the patrolling personnel find you running around.”

Su Ming said to Rhein and the others.

“Okay, then we’re leaving.”

Rhein and the others left one after another.

Su Ming watched Rhein and the others leave, also feeling a bit of a headache. How could he transfer people without a proper reason?

And with so many people to transfer, at least Major General Vickers would have to speak up for it to work. It might even require the approval of a higher-ranking general.

Thinking of this, Su Ming couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh helplessly.

“Sigh!”

Three days later, in the early morning.

All personnel of the Thirteenth Corps Mecha Squadron gathered in the open space outside the base.

Everyone was neatly arranged into square formations according to their teams and military ranks.

Su Ming, Hegas, and Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En stood in front of the three teams, their hands behind their backs, their gazes fixed forward, unmoving.

At this moment, Major General Vickers walked grimly to the temporarily set up simple podium, where a microphone was placed.

He coldly scanned everyone, then began his speech.

“Everyone, today we officially embark on our journey. Although we are a temporarily formed Thirteenth Corps, I have great expectations for all of you. I know our enemy is very powerful, but we will never fear or yield! For glory, for our homeland, for our compatriots, we have no choice. Even if there is an abyss ahead, we can only press forward bravely.”

“I know many of you are very apprehensive, feeling that the Thirteenth Corps is newly formed, and neither the equipment nor the personnel are very good. But I hope you can believe in yourselves, believe in the Thirteenth Corps!”

Many soldiers on site looked at Major General Vickers’ speech, their nerves taut.

Su Ming glanced backward at the many soldiers, sighing slightly in his heart.

This pre-departure pep talk didn’t seem to be very effective. But it was normal; with such a difficult situation, how could the soldiers be excited? Not being dispirited was already a success.

In fact, Major General Vickers was also well aware that pure pep talks were useless, so he said:

“Finally, I want to tell you something: if we can win this war, then the Thirteenth Corps will be permanently retained. But if this war is lost, we will have no designation. In future historical records, only a brief mention will be left, with no glorious record whatsoever! Don’t you feel aggrieved? Are you truly willing to accept that?”

“Unwilling!”

At this moment, many soldiers roared in anger.

They already had a considerable amount of resentment in their hearts, and hearing Vickers say this immediately made them furious.

“That’s right, I’m not willing either. Since blood is destined to be shed, why can’t we be remembered in history?”

“Remembered in history!”

Many officers shouted one after another.

Su Ming watched this scene and couldn’t help but secretly praise him. Major General Vickers truly had some skill to be able to rouse them like this.

“Very good, for the glory of the Thirteenth Corps, transmit my order! Begin boarding!”

Major General Vickers then gave the order.

As the order came down, officers like Su Ming led their teams towards the warehouse.

Soon, mechas were driven out one by one.

Su Ming and the other two led the Third Team’s personnel, driving their mechas towards Tsar.

Entrance 3.

Su Ming and the other two quickly led their team aboard the ship, entering the long passage.

They maneuvered their mechas inward, but with every step, the ground emitted a harsh crunching sound, as if the floor was deforming.

At this moment, Su Ming heard some subordinates behind him discussing in low voices.

“Oh my god, it’s so old! Look at the rust on the joints of the walls, and the lights above are so dim, and there’s dust everywhere.”

“This ship isn’t our main battleship, is it?”

“I don’t know, but it feels possible!”

“If it’s the main battleship, then we’re finished.”

“Don’t say such discouraging things.”

Although Su Ming and the other two heard the subordinates discussing, none of them spoke up. The three of them also felt uncertain about this ship.

Therefore, they just silently led the team forward.

Not long after, they arrived at the hangar. The entire hangar was very large, seemingly endless, but as expected, the equipment here was also rusty and old.

Although it was much better than Fatty’s hangar, it was still quite bad.

After all, Fatty was used for transporting goods, while Tsar was for combat; the two were not on the same level at all.

At this moment, everyone’s wristbands received a message.

“All mecha pilots, stand by for orders!”

Upon seeing the message, Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En immediately opened the team communication and issued the order sternly.

“I am now sending you your mecha bay numbers. Everyone, drive your mecha to your assigned bay and lock it in! After that, everyone is to stand by for orders; no one is allowed to disembark without permission!”

“Yes!”

Everyone responded one after another.

Several hours later, all personnel had boarded the ship.

At this moment, a sweet voice sounded over the broadcast.

“Hello everyone, this is Zhou Yuelin, Lieutenant. Tsar is about to set sail. There will be a slight turbulence, so please everyone pay attention to safety.”

As Zhou Yuelin’s words fell.

Rumble!

Tsar activated its anti-gravity system, and the entire ship began to ascend.

At this moment, the hangar floor began to vibrate, and the creaking sound of old metal friction could be heard.

“Damn, it’s making such a loud noise?”

“Is this ship going to be okay?”

Everyone discussed nervously.

At this moment, the projection equipment in the hangar began to work, and the scene outside the ship was immediately displayed.

Everyone looked over, only to see Tsar continuously climbing in altitude, flying towards the atmosphere.

When the ship entered the atmosphere, the vibrations became even more intense.

Fortunately, when Tsar flew out of the atmosphere, the vibrations decreased.

Time passed second by second.

In a flash, several hours passed, and everyone discussed in confusion.

“Does anyone know where we’re going?”

“I don’t know.”

“But I feel very strange. We’ve been on the ship for so long, and they haven’t arranged our accommodation. They’re just making us stay in the mechas?”

“I’m also very puzzled.”

At this moment, Rhein and the others’ voices sounded in Su Ming’s communication channel, and they asked curiously.

“Squad leader, where are we going?”

“I don’t know either, but it looks like we’ll probably be transferring to another location.”

Su Ming analyzed rationally.

“That’s great! We thought this mothership was the flagship!”

Rhein and the others were all very happy to hear Su Ming’s words.

“Probably not.”

Su Ming replied after a few seconds of thought. Although the Federation’s situation was not optimistic right now, forcing them to hastily assemble the Thirteenth Corps.

However, Su Ming was very certain of one thing: the Federation definitely did not assemble the Thirteenth Corps to send them to their deaths. They must have had some confidence to assemble it this way.

Just then, a sudden gasp of surprise rang out.

“Look, what’s that?”

Su Ming and the others were also surprised and looked over.

In the vast starry sky, an extremely dilapidated fortress, with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers, floated. Its entire outer shell armor was already mottled and worn, covered with dents and patches, and large areas of its paint coating had peeled off.

Many of the cannons densely covering its surface were crooked, and in some areas, cracks had even appeared.

At this moment, on the surface of the fortress, repair mechas were racing against time to make emergency repairs.

“Such a huge fortress, but why is it broken again?”

“What kind of fortress is this?”

Su Ming looked at the fortress and suddenly realized, saying:

“Star Radiance Fortress, this is Star Radiance Fortress!”

“Ah? Star Radiance Fortress, it sounds familiar?”

Rhein and the others asked in confusion.

“Of course it’s familiar! When the expeditionary force suffered a great defeat, it was this fortress that led troops to support, forcefully intercepting the pursuers and bringing the expeditionary force back. This fortress is stained with the blood of the Dark Star Empire!”

“Damn, won’t the Imperial Army go crazy when they see this fortress? Will they beat us up even harder then?”

“They definitely will.”

Su Ming replied with certainty.

At this moment, the broadcast sound rang out again.

“Everyone, we are about to arrive at Star Radiance Fortress. The mothership Tsar is about to dock inside the fortress. Once it has come to a complete stop, please move all mechas to the various hangars within the fortress.”

After hearing the broadcast, Su Ming and the others began to prepare.

In the starry sky, Tsar continuously adjusted its course, approaching Star Radiance Fortress.

When Tsar arrived in front of the ship passage entrance.

Click!

On the surface of Star Radiance Fortress, layers of thick armor opened, revealing a huge passage entrance.

Tsar slowly entered the ship passage. The entire passage was very spacious and straight, with old indicator lights on the walls constantly flickering.

A few minutes later, Tsar emerged from the ship passage and arrived at a huge mechanical dock.

When the ship flew to the designated position.

Click!

Inside the dock, rusty mechanical supports rose, latching onto the ship.

Clang!

After a violent tremor, the mothership finally stabilized.

At this moment, Hugh Eun issued an order.

“Everyone, control your mechas and disembark with me. Head to the hangar!”

“Yes, sir!”

Su Ming and the others responded.

A moment later, Su Ming and the others, controlling their mechas, disembarked from Tsar.

Hugh Eun led the team towards the hangar.

Along the way, they saw mechanics busy repairing the dock.

Sizzle sizzle!

Welding sparks continuously flew everywhere.

Everyone looked at these mechanics, their feelings growing more complex; they didn’t know what to say.

At this moment, Hugh Eun spoke in the communication channel.

“Don’t be disheartened just because this fortress is undergoing maintenance. Look at those mechanics, they are working hard, putting in extra hours! You should know that they will be sailing with the fortress, sharing life and death with us. I ask, what right do we have to be dejected here?”

“Yes, Commander!”

Upon hearing Hugh Eun’s words, everyone immediately replied.

“Let’s go!”

Hugh Eun quickened his pace, leading everyone towards the hangar.

Not long after, they arrived at Hangar 3. Su Ming and the others parked their mechas in their designated positions.

“Disembark!”

Hugh Eun immediately issued the next order.

Su Ming and the others opened their mecha cockpits and jumped down.

At this moment, an elderly man in a Lieutenant’s military uniform walked over and saluted Hugh Eun and the others.

“Commander, I am Zhang Xiang of the Thirteenth Corps’ Logistics Department. Please follow me.”

“Alright!”

Hugh Eun nodded in response.

He then led Su Ming and the others towards the passage ahead.

Soon, they passed through the passage and arrived at a large mechanical moving platform.

Zhang Xiang pulled the operating lever, and the mechanical moving platform immediately started moving, its speed continuously increasing.

Approximately ten minutes later.

Accompanied by a dull sound, the mechanical moving platform stopped.

They had now arrived at a circular transfer hall.

“This way!”

Zhang Xiang led Su Ming and the others towards a passage ahead.

Su Ming glanced around; the entire transfer hall had almost no furnishings. The walls and floor were all steel structures, a true heavy metal industrial style.

And the moment Su Ming and the others followed Zhang Xiang out of the passage.

Their vision suddenly opened up, and a pyramid-shaped steel city came into view.

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

They saw a city made of steel, its surface covered with houses cast from metal.

These houses had very monotonous shapes, like dense pigeon lofts, with extremely high density.

And in the middle of the mountain, there was a commercial street encircling it, with shops made of metal structures located along the street.

On the upper levels of the mountain were individual metal buildings, and the higher up, the larger the buildings, with a huge metal building located at the very peak.

As for the city itself, the winding roads and various bridges were all constructed of metal.

“Oh my, a city built entirely of metal, without any decoration?”

“This is too simple, isn’t it?”

Everyone discussed in surprise.

At this moment, Zhang Xiang began to introduce.

“This is the City of Starlight. As you can see, it is entirely constructed of metal. The bottom is the residential area, where all non-commissioned officers and soldiers below the rank of Major live! The middle circle is the commercial street, and the shops there will soon be open for business. You can purchase various daily necessities there. As for the upper levels, they are inhabited by officers above the rank of Major. The higher the military rank, the higher up they live!”

“Commercial street? There’s a commercial street here?”

Su Ming asked with a hint of surprise.

“Of course there is. It’s not just soldiers who come aboard, but also specialized merchants who come to do business.”

“Aren’t they afraid of danger?”

“How could they not be afraid? But there’s a saying, ‘Wealth comes from seeking danger.’ The Thirteenth Corps has just been established, and while it’s unstable, it’s the easiest time to pioneer, without so many strict conditions! You should know that the merchant groups on the main ships of other legions also moved in when they were first established.”

Zhang Xiang explained as he led Su Ming and the others towards the city.

“So that’s how it is!”

Su Ming nodded slightly upon hearing this. He had certainly learned something new today.

Soon, they entered the city, walking on the cold steel streets. Su Ming looked at the dense pigeon lofts around him.

He found that many of the pigeon lofts were already occupied, and he thoughtfully asked Zhou Yuelin, Lieutenant.

“Have other units boarded the fortress?”

“Some haven’t yet, but they should arrive in the next two days. The fortress will set sail in three days.”

“That fast?”

Su Ming replied with a slight surprise.

“There’s no other way. The situation is too urgent now. Requests for help keep coming from the Neutral Countries, and the Imperial Army also attacks the Neutral Countries from time to time.”

Zhou Yuelin, Lieutenant, explained with a sigh.

Su Ming and the others fell silent upon hearing this.

Several hours later, all personnel of the Third Regiment were settled.

Zhang Xiang led Su Ming and the two others to a detached metal house. This house even had a small fifty-square-meter courtyard.

“Commander Su Ming, this is your residence. The key is in the door. I will first lead Commander Hegas and Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En to their residences.”

Zhang Xiang politely said to Su Ming.

“Alright!”

Su Ming replied calmly.

At this moment, Zhang Xiang led the two men towards a house opposite.

Upon seeing this, Su Ming couldn’t help but rub his forehead. Well, now he was neighbors with this big oaf; it would probably be lively from now on.

Soon, Su Ming opened the door and walked in.

However, inside, there was nothing but a bed, a desk, a lounge chair, and a bathroom.

“Sigh~ I’ll make do.”

Su Ming threw his luggage on the floor and lay directly on the bed to rest for a bit.

The next morning.

Su Ming woke up early and went to the commercial street.

At this moment, he saw a supermarket open for business and walked over, preparing to buy some daily necessities.

When he entered the supermarket, he saw many people carrying shopping baskets, buying things.

Su Ming casually picked up a basket and quickly took items like shower gel from the shelves.

Soon, he had a full basket of items and went to the counter to queue for checkout.

Just then, a familiar figure walked past him. Su Ming paused slightly and then called out.

“Mink!”

Mink was startled upon hearing Su Ming’s voice, stopped, and looked over.

The moment he saw Su Ming, he excitedly stretched out his hand to embrace Su Ming.

“Su Ming!”

“Haha, what a coincidence!”

Su Ming opened his arms and hugged Mink.

“It’s such a coincidence. I didn’t expect you to also join the Thirteenth Corps.”

Mink said very excitedly.

“Yeah, are you here to buy things?”

“Yes, I don’t have anything to do this morning. The commander gave us leave to buy daily necessities.”

“Oh, have you had breakfast?”

“No!”

“Perfect, I haven’t eaten either! Go finish your shopping quickly, and we’ll eat together.”

Su Ming suggested to Mink.

“Okay, wait for me!”

Mink nodded in response.

Not long after, Su Ming and Mink arrived at a newly opened breakfast shop.

Su Ming ordered two cages of meat buns and two bowls of synthetic rice paste.

“How did you end up joining the Thirteenth Corps? Under normal conscription, they shouldn’t have been able to conscript you.”

Su Ming asked curiously while eating a bun.

“I volunteered and joined the Thirteenth Corps after passing the review.”

Mink directly confessed to Su Ming.

“Ah? Why?”

Su Ming asked with a slight surprise upon hearing this.

“Because by volunteering, I could be assigned a mecha. Under normal circumstances, I might never have touched a Second Generation Mecha in my life, after all, my school is really just average.”

Mink didn’t hide anything from Su Ming.

“I see. Which team were you assigned to?”

“The Twenty-Fifth Regiment, a squad under the Seventh Squadron.”

“You didn’t become a squad leader? With your strength, that doesn’t seem right.”

Su Ming frowned and said.

“No way, no achievements.”

Mink replied with a bitter smile.

“Oh, how’s your morale?”

“Sigh, to be honest with you, it’s not great. Everyone is pessimistic about this rescue. Many even think it’s a suicide mission, but there’s no other way. We can’t just watch our people get trapped and not go to rescue them, can we?”

“That’s truly terrible.”

“Su Ming, what about you? Which squadron are you in?”

“Me? I’m in the Third Regiment. Feel free to come find me if you need anything.”

Su Ming said with a smile to Mink.

“Alright!”

Mink didn’t stand on ceremony with Su Ming.

One hour later.

Su Ming and Mink said goodbye, and Su Ming walked alone on the street.

At this moment, his wristband vibrated, displaying a notification message.

“All mecha teams, organize quickly. Star Radiance Fortress will set sail at 8 AM the day after tomorrow.”

Soon after, Su Ming received a message from Hugh Eun, instructing them to gather at Mecha Training Ground 3 at 2 PM.

“Sigh~”

Su Ming shook his head helplessly.

No matter what, these were his soldiers. No matter how troublesome it was, he had to lead them well.

1:50 PM.

Mecha Training Ground 3 · Waiting Area

Officers wearing different military uniforms and exoskeleton armor gathered together.

At this moment, a strong, muscular man with a square face, wearing a Captain’s military uniform, said to his companion.

“Sigh, Lord Hegas has already led his team away. We’ve actually been assigned to that connections-based Commander. How unlucky! I even doubt if he has the ability to teach us well?”

“Deng Yu, isn’t that Commander Su Ming rumored to be from Royal Court Academy? And he even won Second Prize in the Three School League during his first year. He shouldn’t be that bad, should he?”

A female Captain with a ponytail, an oval face, and a rather attractive appearance said.

“Zhang Bi, you don’t understand. He’s a connections-based person. Someone must have given him credit, otherwise, those senior students from Royal Court Academy who participated were all stronger than him. How could a first-year student win Second Prize? It would be strange if there wasn’t something fishy! And most importantly, the broadcast of that Three School League was interrupted halfway through, so no one knows what happened afterward.”

Deng Yu grew more excited as he spoke.

At this moment, Su Ming, with his hands behind his back, walked behind Deng Yu.

A man with a slightly thin face, dark skin, and wearing a Captain’s military uniform, quickly said to Deng Yu.

“Cough cough, Deng Yu, stop talking.”

“Qin Heng, why shouldn’t I speak? He’s just a connections-based person, and I’d say it to his face!”

Deng Yu said with great disdain.

Su Ming listened with interest as Deng Yu talked about him.

Qin Heng and the others saw that Deng Yu was still talking and had no choice but to salute and call out.

“Commander!”

Deng Yu was also startled upon hearing Qin Heng and the others’ words. He twisted his head with difficulty to look at Su Ming.

When he saw Su Ming standing behind him, his face immediately darkened.

“Why aren’t you talking?”

Su Ming asked with a smile.

“Reporting, Commander, what I said is all true, and I don’t feel I said anything wrong!”

Deng Yu gritted his teeth and said after hearing Su Ming’s words.

Qin Heng and the others felt their hearts sink halfway upon hearing this. This time, Deng Yu had completely offended Commander Su Ming; he was going to be given a hard time. One rank higher could crush a man, after all.

Su Ming reached out and patted Deng Yu’s shoulder, smiling as he spoke.

“Excellent, very courageous, I like it! The intensive training begins!”

As Commander Su Ming’s words fell, the officers present quickly lined up, and Deng Yu walked to the front row.

Everyone looked at Su Ming.

Su Ming scanned the five captains in the front row. The man standing on the far left, 2.1 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, broad shoulders, and wearing a captain’s uniform, was Dong Zhe. His current records showed that he was transferred from the Di Yan Star Reserve Force. He had previously fought on battlefields but was injured and transferred to the reserve unit.

Standing beside Dong Zhe was a woman with flaxen curly hair, a high nose bridge, wheat-colored skin, and wearing a captain’s uniform. This woman was Jiang Rong. She had previously served in the Fifth Army but, due to personal reasons, did not go to the Neutral Countries to participate in the war, and therefore voluntarily applied to the Thirteenth Corps.

In the middle stood Captain Deng Yu, who was transferred from the Third Planet’s Seventh Administrative District; other information about him was unknown.

As for Qin Heng and Zhang Bi, they were transferred from the Eighth Administrative District and Tenth Administrative District defense teams.

“First, I don’t need to introduce myself. I believe you all already know me. I’m that ‘connected’ person. Sometimes, being famous has its advantages.”

“Haha, Commander, though you are humorous, it’s impossible for us to acknowledge someone who got here through connections. We now question your qualifications to teach us.”

Deng Yu replied with a smile.

“I don’t acknowledge it either! Only a Commander like Hegas is qualified to teach us!”

Dong Zhe immediately spoke up.

“Exactly!”

Jiang Rong and the others also echoed.

Su Ming looked at these defiant subordinates, their faces full of unconvinced expressions, and immediately felt they needed a good lesson.

He finally understood why Mia, who came from the military, liked to give them a thorough beating—because it was the most effective method.

Therefore, Su Ming also planned to give these guys a good lesson.

Su Ming then said with a smile,

“You say I’m not qualified to teach you? But why do I feel like you’re not qualified to be taught by me?”

“Commander, please watch your words.”

Qin Heng and the others replied with dark faces.

“What? Unconvinced? How about we have a match?”

Su Ming directly proposed.

Deng Yu and the others heard Su Ming’s words and replied fearlessly,

“Alright!”

“But a simple match is boring. Everything needs a stake, right?”

Su Ming said with a brilliant smile.

“What stake?”

Deng Yu immediately asked.

“If I win, Zhang Bi, you’ll cook for me for a year. Jiang Rong, you’ll wash my clothes for a year. Dong Zhe, you’ll clean for me for a year. Qin Heng, you’ll run errands for me for a year. Deng Yu, you’ll clean my mecha for a year.”

Su Ming named them one by one, without ceremony.

“And if we win?”

Deng Yu retorted, equally unceremoniously.

“If you win, I’ll resign!”

Su Ming laid down a harsh challenge.

“Is that true?”

Deng Yu and the others’ eyes lit up as they asked.

“Absolutely! And don’t say I’m bullying you. We’ll all use Second Generation Mecha Flame Rider, and I’ll take on all five of you!”

Su Ming readily agreed.

At these words, there was an uproar among the crowd.

Deng Yu and the five also frowned and said,

“Commander, are you serious? The same mecha, and you’re taking on all five of us? How about we go one by one?”

“No need, all of you come at once. It saves trouble, and my time is very precious!”

Su Ming replied very decisively.

When Deng Yu and the five heard Su Ming’s words, their faces flushed red. They felt underestimated and looked down upon.

This was clearly trampling on their dignity, but they still restrained their anger and said,

“Commander, you wouldn’t be intentionally taking on five just to have an excuse after losing, would you?”

“Oh, how could that be! If I can’t even beat you five noobs, then I’ll resign immediately!”

Su Ming waved his hand and said with a smile.

“Alright, you said it!”

Deng Yu and the five replied, extremely annoyed. At this moment, they felt humiliated.

“Let’s go!”

Su Ming decisively waved his hand and led everyone towards the training ground.

He also wanted to see what level his subordinates were at.

At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En walked out from a nearby corner, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He had seen everything that just happened.

Of course, this wasn’t a coincidence; Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En had come specifically. He wanted to see how Su Ming trained, to ensure it didn’t turn into a chaotic mess.

But he never expected to see Su Ming about to discipline these subordinates, and even take on five at once.

If he wasn’t brain-dead, then he truly had skill.

Thinking of this, Hugh Eun immediately raised his wristband, tapped a few times, and sent a message to Hegas, telling him to hurry over.

After doing this, Hugh Eun walked towards Training Ground 3.

At this time, Su Ming and the others had already arrived at Training Ground 3. He raised his hand and waved at a female administrator who had a good figure and was quite attractive.

The female administrator quickly stepped forward and asked,

“Commander, I’m the administrator here, Song Jia. Do you have any instructions?”

“We’re having a match here. Prepare six Flame Rider training mechas, and clear the surrounding area!”

“What is your rank?”

Song Jia saw that Su Ming wasn’t wearing a military uniform and was so young, so she hesitated before asking.

“Major!”

Su Ming replied directly.

“Arranging it immediately!”

Song Jia immediately replied respectfully.

A moment later, the ground of the training field split open, and seven platforms rose, on which were placed six Flame Riders and a weapon rack.

“Get in the mechas!”

Su Ming walked decisively towards one of the Flame Riders.

Deng Yu and the five also did not hesitate, walking towards the other Flame Riders.

Soon, all six entered their Flame Rider mechas. Su Ming controlled his Flame Rider to switch to a long spear, then distanced himself from Deng Yu and the five.

At this time, many officers who had come to the training ground saw this scene and gathered around, asking the Third Team members,

“What’s going on?”

“A match!”

“One against five? Who’s that impressive?”

“Major Su Ming!”

“Ah, that ‘connected’ guy?”

“Shh, don’t say it.”

Not far away, Lieutenant Colonel Xiu En quietly watched the six Flame Riders.

Just then, Hegas rushed over, walked beside Hugh Eun, looked at the confronting Flame Riders, and asked with a deep frown,

“Is Su Ming really going to take on five?”

“That’s right, and they’re all captains!”

Hugh Eun replied in a deep voice.

“Quite arrogant. I want to see what he’s capable of. Hope he doesn’t last less than a minute.”

Hegas snorted and replied.

“Whether he’s a horse or a mule, we’ll know once we take him for a stroll.”

Hugh Eun replied calmly.

At this moment, the surrounding officers excitedly shouted at Deng Yu and the others,

“Go, go, go!”

“Defeat him!”

At this moment, Su Ming, controlling his Flame Rider, raised the long spear in his hand and pointed it at Deng Yu and the five, saying disdainfully,

“Come on!”

The five were instantly provoked. Deng Yu controlled his Flame Rider at full power, charging directly at Su Ming.

Dong Zhe and Qin Heng attacked from the left and right, respectively.

As for Zhang Bi and Jiang Rong, they followed behind Deng Yu, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Su Ming’s mouth curved slightly upward. He suddenly pushed the power lever to its limit, controlling the Flame Rider to charge at Deng Yu with extreme speed.

Deng Yu was also startled, completely not expecting Su Ming to charge directly forward. This was simply too foolish.

He unhesitatingly raised the alloy blade in his hand and slashed towards Su Ming.

Su Ming narrowed his eyes, controlling the Flame Rider, and swung the long spear in his hand with a sharp sweep.

Crack!

Accompanied by a crisp collision sound.

The weapon in Deng Yu’s hand was swept aside. At this moment, Su Ming controlled the Flame Rider to suddenly thrust forward, kicking Deng Yu’s mecha body!

The entire Flame Rider crashed towards Zhang Bi and Jiang Rong.

The two were startled and immediately dodged.

At this moment, Dong Zhe and Qin Heng, controlling their Flame Riders, attacked from left and right, delivering a sharp sword slash.

Su Ming’s mouth curved slightly upward. He controlled the mecha to abruptly tap the ground with its foot, and the entire mecha glided backward.

Dong Zhe and Qin Heng were instantly startled, quickly withdrew their weapons, and controlled their mechas to stop.

At this moment, Su Ming controlled the Flame Rider to land, then stomped the ground fiercely, bursting with power as he charged forward, thrusting his spear at Dong Zhe.

Dong Zhe felt extreme danger and turned around at his limit, raising the alloy blade in his hand, trying to block Su Ming’s attack.

Unfortunately, Su Ming’s long spear was too fast.

Before he could react, the long spear directly bypassed the alloy blade and pierced through his abdomen.

Qin Heng’s expression changed slightly, and he swung his alloy blade towards Su Ming.

As a result, Su Ming directly swung his long spear, flinging Dong Zhe’s mecha towards Qin Heng.

Bang!

Qin Heng dared not strike Dong Zhe’s mecha and could only withdraw, resulting in being knocked flying by the mecha.

At this moment, Zhang Bi attacked at high speed, swinging his alloy blade towards Su Ming.

Su Ming easily swung his long spear to block, then quickly pulled back the long spear and swept it back.

Zhang Bi continuously used his alloy blade to block Su Ming’s attacks, his entire mecha retreating step by step, unable to counterattack at all.

Fortunately, at this moment, Jiang Rong circled around Su Ming from behind, launching a sneak attack with extreme speed.

However, just as Jiang Rong closed in on Su Ming from behind, Su Ming, as if he had eyes on his back, fiercely swept Zhang Bi away with a spear, then turned and thrust a counter-attack spear towards Jiang Rong’s cockpit.

Jiang Rong’s heart suddenly trembled, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Fortunately, the long spear stopped one centimeter from the cockpit.

Jiang Rong’s face showed an expression of disbelief, then she dropped her weapon, indicating her surrender.

At this moment, Deng Yu, who had controlled his mecha to get up from the ground, looked at Su Ming with a surprised expression. He did not control his mecha to charge forward again.

Because the technical gap between them was simply too vast.

At this moment, the onlookers, recovering from their daze, burst into enthusiastic applause.

“Too amazing!”

Hugh Eun was also very surprised to see this scene. Su Ming not only won, but he won by an overwhelming margin.

Hegas, standing beside him, also had an incredulous expression and said in astonishment,

“How could this be? His skills are actually this good? Impossible! When he was tested at Xiguang Laboratory, his reactions were terribly slow, and all his physical data were extremely poor.”

“The problem is, he is this strong now.”

“Have you seen his resume file?”

“How could I? Only Major General Vickers and others can see his resume file.”

Hugh Eun shook his head and replied.

“This…”

Hegas still found it hard to accept.

Seeing this, Hugh Eun then suggested to Hegas,

“How about you have a match with him?”

“Good, I’ll personally meet him!”

Hegas agreed without hesitation.

“Then I’ll arrange it for you. Follow me.”

Hugh Eun then led Hegas away.

The reason he suggested that Hegas and Su Ming have a match was, on one hand, to further test Su Ming’s strength, and on the other hand, to remove Hegas’s prejudice.

Only then could the two of them get along harmoniously, and the Third Team would not be like a scattered mess.
