Chapter 442: Chapter 327: Top Secret Plan (Five-in-One)_3

In an instant, Deng Yu’s body sank sharply. Although he had taken a Genetic Potion, the backpack on him was already quite heavy, and now it had become even heavier with Su Ming on top.

But still, he clenched his teeth and held on.

Zhang Bi and the others witnessed this scene, and their expressions immediately turned somewhat unnatural.

"Don’t look at Deng Yu; the real show is just beginning."

Su Ming said as he took out a marble gun from the bag he was carrying.

This toy gun had taken quite an effort to secure from the commercial district yesterday. Despite its toy-like appearance, it was incredibly painful when it hit someone.

Jiang Rong and the others, seeing Su Ming pull out the marble gun, had their complexions slightly changed, feeling a very bad premonition.

"From now on, I will shoot at you randomly. You dodge on your own. Anyone who doesn’t dodge runs an extra lap! Also, no falling behind, and keep the running formation tidy, or else you will all be punished!"

Su Ming said with a smile.

"Yes, sir!"

The crowd shouted in a sharp tone.

"Begin!"

Su Ming grinned and lifted the marble gun to shoot at Jiang Rong and the others.

They all dodged desperately, but many were still hit!

"Ouch!"

...

Series of pained cries kept ringing out.

...

At dusk.

Qin Heng and the others lay on the ground, not even wanting to move.

"So tired, my feet are about to break."

"Enough, stop complaining! I’m bruised all over my body."

"Major Su Ming’s training is really harsh. But why are we training physical fitness? Shouldn’t we be training Mecha operation skills?"

"Sir, you’re not trying to make things difficult for us, right?"

"Even if he is making things difficult for us, there’s nothing we can do. After all, we completely offended him before."

Deng Yu said helplessly.

"How about we prepare some good things to show our respect to the major and soothe his anger?"

Zhang Bi hesitated before responding.

"What good things could we possibly have to offer the major? His Mecha is a third-generation high-end custom model, and it definitely costs a pretty penny."

Jiang Rong said hesitantly.

"It doesn’t have to be very expensive; we could offer some fruits as a gesture of goodwill."

"Good idea, but fruits aren’t easy to get!"

"No matter, there are always more ways than difficulties."

...

The next day.

Inside the central control room of Starshine Fortress.

The purple-haired masked girl sat in the command chair, while Admiral Ferion stood straight beside her, hands behind his back.

Then, an operator looking at the screen reported.

"The Twin Battleships have arrived and are beginning to dock!"

In the vastness of space, two gargantuan battleships over fifty kilometers long, shaped like razor blades with a needle-like main cannon protruding from the bow, and densely covered with numerous launch ports and intercept cannons, sailed in front of Starshine Fortress.

These two brand-new Class 5 ships looked almost identical. The only difference was the color of their outer armor—one was white, and the other black.

The Twin Battleships were now adjusting their bows, moving into the passage.

...

In the central control room, operators professionally reported.

"Report: Class 5 Battlecruiser·Fiery Sun has been successfully docked!"

"Report: Class 5 Battlecruiser·Silver Moon has been successfully docked!"

...

Admiral Ferion listened to the reports and said in a deep voice.

"The Twin Battleships have finally arrived on time. The council bunch has been generous for once. They have sent two new battleships, and I hear that not only are these battleships powerful, but their combined combat capability is even stronger when they operate together."

"That’s right."

The purple-haired girl responded indifferently.

At that moment, Major General Jone approached and said to the purple-haired girl.

"Everyone’s here!"

"Notify everyone."

The purple-haired girl replied calmly upon hearing this.

"Yes!"

Major General Jone responded solemnly.

On the training field, Su Ming continued to run drills with Deng Yu and the others.

At that moment, the PA system came to life.

"Hello, everyone. I am Major General Jone. Due to the urgency of time, our brothers and sisters are still hovering on the brink of life and death. For this, we will soon set sail on our journey. I believe that in this campaign, the Thirteenth Legion will be remembered for all time! Now, everyone please prepare for defense, as the fortress will soon embark on superluminal flight, which will cause some turbulence and shaking."

Upon hearing the broadcast, Su Ming immediately gave an order.

"Cease training and wait for the fortress to stabilize."

"Yes!"

Deng Yu and the others stopped as soon as they heard the order.

Inside the central control room.

The purple-haired girl gave orders in a calm voice.

"Initiate the startup of the hibernating 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fusion core devices."

"Yes, preparations for startup are underway."

"2nd fusion core device is starting to preheat."

...

"Check the status of all the injection ports of Starshine Fortress!"

"Yes, beginning self-check!"

...

In space, on the vast surface of Starshine Fortress, rows of ordered injection ports within the two interlocking trenches briefly lit up.

Starshine Fortress is different from other fortresses; it has two rings of interlaced injection ports which allow precise direction adjustment and the execution of evasive maneuvers.

"Check complete, all systems normal!"

"Power devices have been initiated!"

"We’re setting sail!"

The purple-haired girl then gave the command.

Whoosh!

The aft section of Starshine Fortress, the injection ports began to spew dazzling flames.

In an instant, the entire Starshine Fortress shook violently.

Boom!

On the training field, Su Ming and the rest found it hard to stand steady.

"Why is the shaking so severe?"

Deng Yu and the others hadn’t even finished speaking when Su Ming, with his keen senses, saw a metal beam falling from above and immediately issued a warning.

"Watch your heads!"

Deng Yu and the others, startled by Su Ming’s warning, were taken aback.

Bang!

A metal beam crashed down right in front of them.
