Chapter 436: Chapter 326: Gaining Fame (Five in One)_3

"Ah? Starshine Fortress, that sounds so familiar, doesn’t it?"

Rhein and the others asked, puzzled.

"Of course it’s familiar, when the Expeditionary Army suffered a huge defeat, it was this fortress that led troops to support them, powerfully intercepting the pursuers and bringing the Expeditionary Army back. This fortress is stained with the blood of the Dark Star Empire!"

"Damn, if the Imperial Army sees this fortress, won’t they go crazy and beat us up with all their might?"

"Definitely."

Su Ming replied very confidently.

At this time, the broadcast voice rang out again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to arrive at the Starshine Fortress, the Emperor Mother Ship will soon dock inside the fortress. Once it has stabilized, please have everyone move their Mechas to the various large hangars inside the fortress..."

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

In outer space, the Emperor was continuously correcting its course trajectory, approaching the Starshine Fortress.

When the Emperor arrived in front of the ship’s passage.

Click!

The surface of the Starshine Fortress opened, layer by layer of thick armor revealing a vast passage.

The Emperor slowly entered the ship’s passage, the entire corridor was very spacious and straight, with old-fashioned indicator lights on the walls flashing continuously.

A few minutes later, the Emperor emerged from the ship’s passage, entering a massive mechanical dock.

When the ship flew to the designated position.

Clack!

Rusted mechanical braces inside the dock rose, latching onto the ship.

Clang~

After a hefty jolt, the Mother Ship had finally stabilized.

At this point, Shu’en gave the order.

"Everyone, control your Mechas and follow me off the ship, to the hangar!"

"Yes, sir!"

Su Ming and the others responded.

...

Shortly after, Su Ming and the others controlled their Mechas to disembark from the Emperor.

Shu’en led the team towards the hangar.

On the way, they saw maintenance workers hastily fixing the docks.

Zzzzt!

The sparks from welding scattered continuously.

The group looked at these workers, their emotions growing more complex, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Shu’en spoke over the communication channel.

"Don’t feel down because this fortress is undergoing maintenance. Look at those workers, working hard, overtime! Keep in mind, they are going to sail with the fortress, sharing life and death with us. I ask you, what right do we have to be disheartened here?"

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Shu’en’s words, the group immediately replied.

"Let’s go!"

Shu’en quickened his pace, leading the group towards the hangar.

Before long, they reached Hangar Three, and Su Ming and the others parked their Mechas in the designated spots.

"Dismount!"

Shu’en promptly commanded.

Su Ming and the others opened the Mechas’ cockpits and jumped down.

At this moment, an elderly man dressed in a Lieutenant’s uniform approached, offering a salute to Shu’en and the others.

"Sir, I’m Zhang Xiang from the logistics department of the Thirteenth Legion. Please come with me."

"Alright!"

Shu’en nodded in agreement.

He then led Su Ming and the rest toward the passage ahead.

Soon they passed through the passage, arriving at a massive mechanical moving platform.

Zhang Xiang pulled the operating lever, and the mechanical moving platform started moving, gaining speed steadily.

About ten minutes later.

With a dull noise, the mechanical moving platform came to a stop.

Now they had arrived at a round transfer hall.

"This way!"

Zhang Xiang led Su Ming and the rest toward a passage ahead.

Su Ming looked around, the entire transfer hall lacked any decorations; walls and floors all made of steel, the epitome of heavy-metal industrial style.

And when Su Ming and the others followed Zhang Xiang out of the passage,

their view suddenly cleared, a pyramid-shaped steel city entered everyone’s view.

They were stunned by the scene before them.

The steel city was covered with metallic houses.

The shapes of these houses were very monotonous, like pigeon lofts with super high density.

In the middle of the mountain range, there was a ring of commercial streets, with metal shops sitting along the streets.

Higher up the mountain, there were standalone metal buildings, increasingly larger as they ascended, and a gigantic metallic building sat at the very top.

As for the city’s interior, winding roads, and various bridges, they were all metallic.

"Damn, a city built purely of metal, with no decorations at all?"

"Isn’t this too simple?"

...

The group discussed, taken aback.

At this time, Zhang Xiang began to explain.

"This is Star Shining City. As you can see, it’s entirely constructed of metal. The bottom part is a residential area, where all non-commissioned officers below the rank of school officer and below live. That ring in the middle is the commercial area; the shops there will soon open for business, where you can usually purchase various life supplies. As for those living in the upper layers, they are the school-ranked officers or higher, the higher the rank, the higher they live!"

"A commercial area? There’s a commercial area here?"

Su Ming asked with slight surprise.

"Of course, there are. Onboard are not only soldiers, but there are also dedicated merchants who come up to do business."

"Aren’t they afraid of danger?"

"How could they not be afraid? But there’s a saying, ’Fortune favors the bold.’ The Thirteenth Legion has just been established. Although it’s unstable, it’s the easiest time to break new ground, without too many stringent requirements! Keep in mind that the main merchant groups on other legions’ flagship joined at the time they were established."

Zhang Xiang continued to explain as he guided Su Ming and the others towards the city.

"I see!"

Su Ming slightly nodded, having learned something new today.
