Chapter 920: Chapter 403: Preparing for Battle (5-in-1)
Ten days later, inside the Wind Move Hangar.
Shu’en, Timi, Hejassi, Rhein, and others stood with their hands clasped, looking solemn.
Su Ming stood in front of them.
Behind him were twenty Fourth Generation Mechas – Thunder Guard, creating an astonishing visual impact.
Su Ming glanced at everyone present; after this expansion, his command now numbered 3,800 people, and Matthew and twenty classmates had all joined.
“Everyone, I am grateful for your choice to follow me. From now on, we are a team. I cannot promise to bring you back alive, but I can assure you that on future battlefields, no matter how cruel or despairing, I will be with you, never retreating, and glory will belong to us all!”
“Follow the General to the death!”
Everyone responded passionately.
Su Ming nodded, then began speaking.
“We will now begin the assignment of Fourth Generation Mechas – Thunder Guard. Step forward when your name is called!”
“Yes!”
Shu’en and others replied fiercely.
“Shu’en, Hejassi, Timi, Ai Yin!”
Su Ming first called out four names.
The four of them immediately stepped forward.
Su Ming glanced at those remaining, then continued calling names.
“Rhein, Zhang Yi, Ankaga, Allu, Angel…”
Among the thirty classmates who first joined Su Ming in the military, only twenty-five remained alive.
Su Ming directly called out sixteen names; he aimed to equip them first with the remaining mechas.
“All personnel whose names were called, switch to the Fourth Generation Mechas – Thunder Guard uniformly. Once you have your mechas, practice hard immediately, as the operational method of the Fourth Generation Mechas is entirely different from that of the Third Generation Mechas!”
Su Ming directly announced.
“Yes, General!”
Shu’en and the others showed extremely excited expressions, shouting enthusiastically.
Su Ming slightly nodded, then spoke.
“Rhein, arm your Third Generation Mechas to Matthew and the others; as for Shu’en, you handle your own arrangements.”
“Alright!”
Shu’en and the others responded one after another.
“As for the others, don’t feel envious. Once finances are sufficient, I’ll arrange this for you all as well.”
Su Ming said to the rest.
“Thank you, General.”
Deng Yu and others exclaimed excitedly.
“Alright, now disband and perform your duties; launch the Wind Moving towards the Sky Control Base.”
Su Ming issued the formal order.
“Yes!”
Everyone scattered, and Timi immediately led the team to the central control room.
….
A moment later.
Wind Move · Central Control Room.
Timi sat in the command chair, while Li Menghan and others manned the consoles, reporting while operating.
“MCW-03 nuclear fusion power plant normal.”
“Circuit self-check, good.”
…
Timi turned to look at Su Ming beside him.
Seeing the preparations were complete, Su Ming raised his wristband to check the time, then nodded.
Timi immediately issued the command.
“Commence navigation, activate anti-gravity device!”
“Yes!”
Li Menghan and others replied promptly.
Then the whole Wind Moving slightly vibrated and began ascending in altitude.
“Ascend altitude to 4,000 meters, destination Sky Control Base….”
Timi issued the order to the team.
“Understood.”
Li Menghan and others executed immediately.
At this moment, Su Ming looked at the display screen, observing the rapidly changing data, and asked.
“How is this ship?”
“Very good; this is not a standard Level 4 Battleship. Its sailing speed rivals Level 5 Battleships and is equipped with camouflage devices. Although not as good as the Chameleon Tiger, it’s still excellent.”
Timi said, very satisfied.
“That’s good.”
Su Ming nodded in agreement.
…
Over an hour later.
The Wind Moving broke through the clouds and appeared above the Sky Control Base, slowly descending towards the wilderness on the side.
Bang!
Finally, the Wind Moving landed smoothly on the ground.
The exit opened.
Su Ming clad in symbiotic armor, leading the fully armed Rhein and others, stepped down from the ship and entered the yellowish Dorag Sphere, reaching the Sky Control Base.
The entire Sky Control Base was also bustling.
Kaff, Curia, and others were all there, gathered together laughing and chatting.
When they saw Su Ming approaching with his people, they all waved and called out.
“Su Ming, Shu’en….”
“You arrived so early?”
Su Ming led his people over, smiling as he spoke.
“Of course, we can’t compare to you now, you’re a General.”
Curia teased with a laugh.
“It’s no big deal, we’re all the same.”
Su Ming replied very amicably.
At this moment, Vickers Major General approached, calling out.
“Everyone has arrived.”
“Yes, General.”
Seeing this, Curia and others quickly stood straight.
Su Ming, noticing the situation, also greeted.
“Lord Vickers.”
Vickers looked at Su Ming, his expression slightly changing, then he smiled and said.
“Su Ming, we are now on the same level; perhaps you should change the way you address me?”
“Habit, you know.”
“Haha, just call me Old Vic.”
“Alright.”
Su Ming laughed and replied.
“Alright, let’s skip the pleasantries. The Legion Commander is arriving soon; everyone quickly arrange the formation.”
Vickers Major General said to Su Ming and others.
“Alright!”
Su Ming nodded in response.
The crowd swiftly arranged into formation, with Su Ming and Vickers standing at the front.
A moment later.
Long Bai, wearing a uniform, came from a distance with Admiral Ferion.
Su Ming and others immediately saluted, shouting loudly.
“Legion Commander! General Ferion!”
Long Bai and Ferion reciprocated the salute to the crowd.
Then Admiral Ferion spoke.
“Is everyone here?”
“All present!”
Vickers Major General replied seriously.
