Chapter 427: Chapter 324 Sky Control Base (Five in One)_6

...

Su Ming and his group’s arrival also caused a small sensation.

A few soldiers hurried over to them and said,

"Officer, please move your Mechas to the warehouse at six o’clock. It’s not feasible to dock here, as there will be a continuous stream of Mechas arriving!"

"Alright, follow me!"

Su Ming replied briskly.

Those who arrived early, like them, came with their own Mechas, but not every Mecha Driver owned their own machine, especially students from other academies.

In such cases, the Legion needed to provide Mechas for them, meaning a large number of Mechas would definitely be delivered later.

It was worth noting that bringing your own Mecha to enlist had significant benefits.

First, any Mecha carried to enlist that was damaged due to Legion’s combat missions would be repaired by the Legion at no cost, and if destroyed, they would compensate!

Second, personnel who brought their own Mechas were generally appointed as either team leaders or deputy leaders, starting at a higher level than their peers.

Third, personnel who brought their own Mechas received higher wages and benefits.

As Su Ming and his group walked toward the warehouse, a gray streak of light speedily approached from the distance.

Su Ming and the others were startled and turned to look.

They saw a huge figure hovering at the limit in mid-air, then slowly landing on the ground!

Boom~

Accompanied by a loud noise, the hardened ground, due to years of neglect, cracked open.

Visible was a twenty-seven-meter-tall Mecha covered in dense gray patterns of metal armor, with concealed Particle Light Cannons embedded in both hands, wielding two Particle Light Swords, with two pairs of gray Mechanical Wings attached to its back, and a Black Star painted on its chest—the Fourth Generation Mecha·Shadow Slayer appeared before everyone.

At that moment, everyone in the area boiled over with excitement, uttering on the public channel.

"Fourth Generation Mecha·Shadow Slayer!"

"Who is this big shot?"

"Awesome!"

...

"I know him; he’s a senior from the Imperial Court Academy, Kaff!"

"So it’s him. I remember he served in the First Legion, right? Surprising he was transferred here."

"I guess he was probably on leave and got conscripted."

"Is that even possible?"

...

"Wow, Fourth Generation Mecha, so envious!"

Rhein and the others nearly drooled.

If Third Generation Mechas and Second Generation Mechas were a watershed, then Fourth Generation Mechas were an insurmountable barrier.

Most Mecha Drivers would stop at Third Generation Mechas, as beginning from the Fourth, it wasn’t just a matter of being able to buy them with money anymore and the requirements for the drivers were extremely strict.

Not everyone could handle the Super Neural Device.

"Let’s go. One day, we’ll be operating Fourth Generation Mechas too."

Su Ming confidently declared.

"Yes!"

Rhein and the others immediately followed Su Ming towards the warehouse.

Soon, Su Ming and his group had parked all their Mechas inside the warehouse.

One by one, they opened the cockpits and jumped out of their Mechas.

"Squad leader, what do we do next?"

Rhein and others came over and asked.

"We check in at the base and follow the Legion’s arrangements!"

"Okay!"

"Follow me."

Su Ming led them out of the warehouse and toward the base’s main entrance.

Along the way, Su Ming and the others saw several buses driving in, filled with people.

Clang clang!

At that moment, several Iron Heads passed by, carrying containers.

Even though the base appeared very old on the outside, it was bustling with activity, with occasional shouts from veteran soldiers.

"Don’t pile up the supply boxes here, move them to Warehouse No. 4 of the base!"

"Hey, be careful when carrying things! Don’t just watch your back!"

...

"Squad leader, serving seems kind of fun."

Zhang Yi said to Su Ming.

"Fun? You should be grateful that you have high enough credits. If you were ordinary soldiers enlisting, then you would know what ’fun’ means!"

Su Ming said with a laugh. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Can’t be that bad, right?"

"You’ll see, and I must remind you, once you’re officially serving, military law is very strict. Don’t defy orders, and if there’s trouble, come find me."

"Okay."

Rhein and the others replied, a bit nervously.

Soon, Su Ming and his group arrived at the base entrance, where they saw rows of soldiers clad in Exoskeleton Armor·Iron Shells standing rigidly on either side, giving them a deadly stare, immobile!

Although the Thirteenth Legion conscripted a lot of students, its main framework consisted of personnel drawn from the local forces on various planets, the reserves, as well as from the twelve major legions.

After all, a legion composed entirely of newcomers was definitely not going to work; there would certainly be problems.

The conscripted students and new recruits mainly served as flesh and blood.

Of course, Su Ming’s case was very rare.

At that moment, Su Ming and his group entered the base’s main hall.

The whole hall was bustling as they saw long lines forming.

All the inductees had to queue up to check in, and the officer in charge would allocate them accordingly.

Loud voices constantly rang out.

"Zhou Mu, rank Junior Corporal! Assigned to the Thirteenth Legion, 26th Squadron, 77th Logistics Team. Go to Lieutenant Chen Li for assembly; he will arrange your specific duties."

...

"Squad leader, which line do we join?"

Rhein and others asked, looking bewildered.

"This way!"

Su Ming scanned the room and then led the team to a queue with fewer people.

Their group of thirty directly lined up at the end of the line.

At this time, Su Ming overheard the conversation of a few men in front.

"So nervous. I heard that after enlisting, the officers are super strict? I wonder if it’s true?"

"It’s true. I’ve heard if you don’t do well or make a mistake, they’ll kick you lightly, but a severe mistake could get you taken aside for a serious beating."

"How do they beat you?"

"How else? Just having you do a thousand pushups would be enough to break you."

"Ah, why am I so unlucky? It’s bad enough to be marked by drawing the black chip, but I also got assigned to the Thirteenth Legion, which they say is just going to get you killed."

"Shh, quiet!"

...

Su Ming hid a wry smile upon hearing this. It looked like there were quite a few here who came through drawing lots.
