Chapter 456: Chapter 329: The Battle Begins (Five in One)_5

The result took everyone by surprise, as the remaining five of one group were quickly taken down by the soldiers trained by Su Ming.

"Damn, Group One lost?"

"Are these really new recruits? They felt like veterans."

"Forget it, no need to continue fighting. The strongest group already lost, it must be Group Three that wins in the end!"

...

The scene caused a stir among the crowd, who began discussing animatedly.

Vickers Major General, upon seeing this, also showed a very surprised expression on his face. He hadn’t expected Su Ming, known as a beneficiary of connections, to possess such strong training capabilities.

Colonel Kaff, watching this scene, was speechless.

It’s worth noting that these selected individuals had been carefully chosen; they were all rookies when they enlisted, with the same level of experience and basically no combat background.

Lieutenant Colonel Shu’en was very pleased and praised Su Ming.

"Awesome!"

"Just lucky."

Su Ming said smilingly to Hejassi.

"There’s not so much luck involved; you truly deserve to be from Imperial Court Academy."

Shu’en sincerely replied.

At this point, Vickers Major General stepped forward and solemnly announced.

"Next match!"

...

Several hours later, without any suspense, soldiers from Group Three overwhelmed the soldiers from other groups, securing victory.

At this time, Vickers Major General walked up to the purple-haired girl, saluted, and reported.

"Legion Commander, the inspection is complete, Group Three has won!"

After hearing Vickers Major General’s report, the purple-haired girl slowly stood up from her seat, walked in front of everyone, and calmly said.

"The training was excellent, especially Group Three, the performance was quite stunning. Let’s give everyone a round of applause!"

Clap Clap!

Everyone started clapping.

"That’s it for the evaluation!"

The purple-haired girl coldly stated.

Hearing the Legion Commander’s words, the crowd instantly tensed, thinking to themselves.

"This is it, the Legion Commander is definitely not satisfied."

At that moment, the purple-haired girl addressed everyone.

"I’ve seen all your performances; though not perfect, they are generally good. You all trained well! I declare a holiday for everyone tomorrow, dismissed!"

After making the announcement, the purple-haired girl quickly left with Ferion and a few others.

"A holiday? No way, did we hear that right?"

"Why are we suddenly getting a holiday?"

...

The soldiers present discussed uneasily.

At that time, Su Ming clapped his hands and shouted to his subordinates.

"Everyone, assemble!"

Rhein and the others, upon hearing this, quickly formed neat lines.

Su Ming looked at his 2,500 subordinates, smiled, and said to them.

"Performed well!"

"The commander taught us well!"

...

Deng Yu shouted, leading the chant.

The others also enthusiastically followed.

"Good, very good. To celebrate your successful passing of the test, I, acting as the vice commander, have decided to treat everyone to a meal!"

As he spoke, many soldiers cheered excitedly.

"Commander, powerful!"

"That’s fantastic."

...

Deng Yu and others looked at Su Ming incredulously; feeding a crowd of over two thousand was no small expense.

Especially outside the cafeteria.

Beside him, Shu’en and Hejassi couldn’t keep it together; they certainly didn’t have the fortune.

"Su Ming, where are we going to eat? It seems there’s no place that can accommodate so many people."

Rhein shouted excitedly.

"Right in Field No. 3, it’s spacious enough!"

"Are you sure that’s okay? Won’t it be against the rules?"

"What’s there to fear? I’ve got this! Rhein, go buy stoves, ingredients, seasonings."

Su Ming promptly made arrangements.

"No problem!"

Rhein and the others energetically went to make the purchases.

At that moment, Hejassi’s subordinates looked at him expectantly.

Hejassi was eager to bite the bullet and treat everyone to a meal too, but his finances simply didn’t allow it!

After all, he had significant expenses, not to mention family matters or his Third Generation Machine’s maintenance costs being tough.

Shu’en noticed Hejassi’s difficulty and said to his subordinates.

"Dismiss for now, I still have matters to discuss with Vice Commander Hejassi later."

"Yes!"

Everyone replied somewhat regretfully.

At this time, seeing Shu’en and Hejassi hadn’t invited their subordinates for a meal, Su Ming approached them smiling.

"Commander Shu’en, Hejassi, how about we all join together?"

"That, might not be a good idea."

Shu’en hesitated, as hosting a dinner for 5000 was no joke.

"It’s fine, we’re all one team, right?"

Su Ming looked toward the many soldiers and loudly asked.

"Yes!"

The soldiers shouted excitedly.

"Alright then!"

Seeing this, Shu’en and Hejassi no longer tried to refuse.

...

Several hours later.

Field No. 3, several grills were set up.

Allu led a group of female soldiers threading skewers, while Rhein and other officers were grilling.

The delicious aroma filled the entire area.

The soldiers sat on the ground, eating skewers with great delight.

At that moment, Su Ming stood up and addressed everyone.

"Everyone, listen up!"

All present turned their attention to Su Ming.

"Does the grilled meat taste good?"

"Delicious!"

The crowd enthusiastically responded.

"Good, then eat as much as you want, take as much as you like today!"

"Yay!"

"And, since it’s a special period, I won’t invite everyone to drink alcohol, let’s toast with water instead!"

Su Ming picked up a bottle of soda, smilingly said to everyone.

"Cheers!"

Shu’en and others all picked up water and stood up, joyfully shouting.

Everyone took a big gulp.

"Enjoy your meal to the fullest!"

Su Ming then sat down again, picked up a skewer, and started eating.

At that moment, sitting nearby, Hejassi was also impressive and admiringly said to Su Ming.

"Brother, I knew you were strong, but your training is even stronger; I’m totally impressed!"
