Chapter 435: Chapter 326: Gaining Fame (Five in One)_2

In fact, Vickers Major General was well aware that mere morale boosting speeches were useless, so he spoke up.

"Lastly, I want to tell you something, if we can win this war, then the Thirteenth Legion will be completely preserved. But if we lose, we will no longer have a designation. In the future histories, there will only be a hasty mention;, there will be no records of glory! Do you not feel stifled? Are you really content?"

"Not content!"

At that moment, many soldiers roared in anger.

They already harbored considerable resentment, and now, hearing Vickers say this, they became even more infuriated.

"Exactly, I’m not content either. Since we are destined to shed blood, why can’t we leave a lasting mark in history?"

"Leave a lasting mark in history!"

...

Many officers shouted one after another.

Su Ming watched this scene and couldn’t help but silently praise Vickers Major General for indeed having a way with words, to be able to stir up such a response.

"Good, for the glory of the Thirteenth Legion, pass my orders! Begin boarding!"

Vickers Major General then issued the command.

Following the order, officers like Su Ming led their troops towards the warehouse.

...

Soon, one mecha after another was brought out.

Su Ming and two others led the personnel of the third unit, piloting their mechas toward the Emperor. freewebnoveℓ.com

Docking Bay No.3.

Su Ming and his two companions led the team swiftly aboard the ship, entering the elongated corridor.

They operated the mechas moving forward, but with each step, the ground emitted a raw, crunching sound, as if the ground itself was deforming.

At this moment, Su Ming heard some subordinates behind him quietly discussing.

"My goodness, this is so old-fashioned! Look at those connectors on the walls, they’re all rusted, and the overhead lights are so dim too, plus there’s dust everywhere."

"This ship isn’t our flagship, is it?"

"Not clear, it feels possible!"

"If it’s the flagship, then we’re done for."

"Don’t talk so negatively."

...

Although Su Ming and the two others heard the discussions among their subordinates, they remained silent, as they too were uncertain about this ship.

They simply led the team forward in silence.

Before long, they arrived at the hangar, which was very large, its end not visible, and, as expected, the equipment was rusted and obsolete.

Although it was much better than the Fatty Dun’s hangar, it was still quite challenging.

After all, the Fatty Dun was used for cargo, whereas the Emperor was meant for combat - the two concepts were entirely different.

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

"All mecha drivers, remain on standby!"

Upon seeing the message, Shu’en immediately opened the team communication channel and gave a serious order.

"I am now sending you your mecha placement codes. Everyone, pilot your mechas to the assigned spots and secure them! Afterwards, everyone remain on standby, no one is to exit their mecha without orders!"

"Yes!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Several hours later, all personnel had boarded completely.

At this moment, the broadcast played a sweet voice.

"Hello everyone, I am Lieutenant Zhou Yuelin, and the Emperor is about to set sail. There might be a bit of turbulence during the ascent, so please pay attention to your safety."

Following Zhou Yuelin’s announcement,

Boom, boom, boom!

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

At this point, the hangar floor began to vibrate, and one could hear the creaking of aging metal.

"Holy, is it supposed to make that much noise?"

"Is this ship even reliable?"

...

The crew nervously discussed among themselves.

Then, the hangar’s projection equipment started to operate, and suddenly the outside view of the ship was displayed for all to see.

Everyone turned to look and saw the Emperor steadily climbing in altitude, heading towards the atmosphere.

When the ship entered the atmosphere, the vibration intensified.

However, fortunately, once the Emperor left the atmosphere, the vibrations decreased.

...

Time ticked by second by second.

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed, and the crew began to discuss with confusion.

"Does anyone know where we are going?"

"Not a clue."

"But it’s weird, we’ve been on the ship for so long, and they haven’t arranged accommodations for us, just keeping us inside the mechas?"

"I’m puzzled too."

...

At that moment, Su Ming’s communication channel came alive with Rhein and others’ voices, inquiring curiously.

"Squad Leader, where are we heading?"

"I’m not sure. However, it looks like we are probably going to be transferred elsewhere,"

Su Ming analyzed rationally.

"That’s great. We thought this Mother Ship was the flagship!"

Rhein and the others were delighted to hear Su Ming’s words.

"It probably isn’t."

Su Ming pondered for a few seconds before responding. Although the Federation’s situation wasn’t optimistic and they were compelled to hastily assemble the Thirteenth Legion,

Su Ming was certain of one thing; the Federation didn’t assemble the Thirteenth Legion just to send them to their doom. They must have some confidence in doing so.

Just then, an exclamation suddenly erupted.

"Look, what is that?"

Su Ming and the others also turned to look.

They saw, floating in the vast space, a fortress with a diameter of thousands of kilometers, looking very worn down. The entire outer shell armor was patchy and full of dents and patches, with large areas of paint coating peeling off.

The surface, densely packed with gun barrels, had many askew, and even some areas showed cracks.

Currently, on the fortress’ surface, a multitude of repair mechas were racing against time to fix it.

"What a huge fortress, but why is it in such disrepair?"

"What kind of fortress is this?"

...

Su Ming looked at the fortress and suddenly realized, then said,

"Starshine Fortress, this is Starshine Fortress!"
