Chapter 424: Chapter 324 Sky Control Base (Five in One)_3

Angel hesitated, saying,

"This is not unreasonable, as this legion needs to go to battle immediately upon establishment without any buffer period, and a total annihilation of the force wouldn’t be unusual."

Rhein and the others also had a poor view of this new legion.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming also furrowed his brows as the Thirteenth Legion indeed seemed less friendly compared to the other legions.

However, just then, a competent female officer in a lieutenant’s uniform, with brown short hair and lots of freckles on her face, came over with a letter, saluting Su Ming.

"Lieutenant Su Ming!"

"And you are?"

Su Ming returned the salute, his brows still furrowed as he responded.

"Sir, I am Lieutenant Wang Qing from the military department. This is the conscription order from the department. Starting now, you are assigned to the Thirteenth Legion."

Wang Qing handed the conscription order to Su Ming.

"Alright."

Su Ming’s expression did not change much as he reached out and took the order.

From the moment the Federation had officially announced the establishment of the Thirteenth Legion, Su Ming had anticipated this moment.

"Goodbye, Sir."

Wang Qing saluted and then turned to leave.

At this moment, Rhein and the others were dumbfounded, confusedly asking,

"Squad leader, how come you’ve been conscripted?"

"Yeah, none of us have been conscripted!"

"What’s going on here?"

"It’s normal. I’ve exchanged for a military rank, but you guys haven’t yet, so naturally, they wouldn’t conscript you but would rather encourage you to volunteer."

Su Ming explained with a smile.

"No way, since the squad leader has been conscripted, I’m going to sign up too!"

Rhein immediately made his stance clear.

"I’m signing up too!"

Zhang Yi and the others spoke up.

"And us too, we want to join the Thirteenth Legion with our squad leader!"

Many classmates shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, Su Ming smiled and spoke to everyone.

"Alright, but let’s have breakfast first, and we can talk while we eat."

"Sure!"

Everyone replied cheerily.

After a moment, at Cafeteria No. 1,

Su Ming and his classmates gathered around a table.

"Squad leader, what do you think the new Thirteenth Legion’s setup will be like?"

Zhang Yi asked enthusiastically.

"This legion is to be a regular formation and needs to rush to the battlefield for support. I assume it will be well-equipped, and the welfare benefits should be pretty good!"

Su Ming thought for a moment and replied.

"Wow, that sounds really good!"

Zhang Yi said, beaming with joy.

"Who cares about the welfare benefits! We’re joining the Thirteenth Legion mainly to stick with you, squad leader. Even though we may not be placed together, we can still achieve great things together and have you there for us!"

Rhein expressed joyfully.

"Right! Squad leader, remember to take good care of me then!"

Ankaga hurriedly said to Su Ming.

"And me!"

Hamiu and others enthusiastically chimed in.

Su Ming looked at his classmates and said with a smile,

"Rest assured!"

Just then, Matthew’s phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the number, answered the call, and spoke up,

"Mom, why are you calling all of a sudden? What’s the matter?"

"Son, I heard that the Thirteenth Legion is recruiting, please don’t go!"

"Why not? Our whole class is going!"

"Don’t, that legion is a death sentence, it’s all over the internet now."

"But, I’ve already talked it over with my classmates, and being a soldier is never without danger!"

"Wah! I agreed to you being a soldier, but I didn’t send you off to die! I worked so hard to raise you, and you’re so heartless...." freewebnoveℓ.com

"I mean, serving in any legion is still service, why can’t it be the Thirteenth Legion?"

Matthew, annoyed, got up and walked to a corner with his phone.

At that moment, the phones of other classmates started ringing, one by one, all unsurprisingly from their families.

They answered the calls and spoke to their parents.

"Father, listen to me, the internet is full of lies."

"It’s my decision, please don’t interfere, I’m already an adult."

"If I had been afraid of danger, I wouldn’t have attended this school."

Rhein and others watched this scene, their smiling faces suddenly turning complex.

At this moment, Matthew walked back, looking dejected and apologetically said to Su Ming,

"Sorry, squad leader, my family really won’t let me enlist in the Thirteenth Legion, they are freaking out..."

"It’s okay, I understand."

Su Ming quickly reassured Matthew, as not everyone could withstand pressure from home.

One by one, classmates walked over, very apologetically speaking to Su Ming.

"Sorry! Squad leader, that..."

"No need to say more, I understand! Don’t put too much pressure on yourselves, they mean well."

Su Ming said to many classmates.

"Thank you, squad leader."

They replied, their expressions complex.

At that moment, the previously lively and spirited atmosphere had been utterly dispelled.

Just then, Rhein’s phone also rang, displaying ’Father’.

Everyone turned to look at Rhein.

But Rhein glanced at the phone, turned it off, and threw it onto the table.

"Sorted!"

"666!"

Zhang Yi immediately gave Rhein a thumbs up.

"Cut it out, I already said wherever the squad leader goes, I go!"

Rhein responded nonchalantly.

At this point, Zhang Yi, Ankaga, and Allu’s phones also rang.

Without hesitation, they, too, turned off their phones, and with smug expressions, tossed them onto the table.

"Piece of cake!"

"Beautiful!"

Rhein, seeing Zhang Yi and others acting this way, couldn’t help but smile.

Just then, Su Ming stood up and soberly said to the many classmates,

"Everyone, listen to me for a moment!"
