Chapter 489: Chapter 335: Discussing Achievements and Giving Rewards (Five-in-One)_2

Inside the Central Control Room of Hamms Planet Fortress.

The violet-haired girl strolled up to the command seat, sat down, and elegantly spun the chair around.

At that moment, Admiral Ferion personally dragged Tedra to the front of the violet-haired girl and then kicked the back of Tedra’s legs.

Bang!

Tedra, unwilling to submit, knelt down and, clenching his teeth, looked up at the violet-haired girl with defiance and said,

"Do what you will—kill or slice! I am at your mercy!"

"Rest assured, the Federation never executes captured officers of the Imperial Army. Now, all your lives are in my hands."

"What exactly do you want?"

Tedra frowned as the other party didn’t kill him.

"You are free to go. Please convey to your Emperor that soon the Federation’s military will break through your defenses and invade your Empire. Just like the expedition of old, you shall once again face a nightmare!"

The violet-haired girl looked down at the kneeling Tedra and said arrogantly.

"Such arrogance! Watch you don’t twist your tongue."

Tedra retorted angrily after hearing the violet-haired girl’s words.

"Is that so? We shall see. I hope next time you won’t surrender and be captured for a second time. A brave officer would rather die than be taken prisoner."

"You!"

Tedra was infuriated to the point his face turned beet red.

"Someone prepare a ship for him and send him back."

The violet-haired girl waved her hand dismissively, giving the order indifferent.

Several soldiers stepped forward and pressed Tedra out of the Central Control Room.

At this time, an officer entered and saluted the violet-haired girl respectfully, then reported,

"Legion Commander, we have found the enemy’s reserve warehouse."

"What’s inside the storage?"

The violet-haired girl asked coldly.

"The warehouse contains a large amount of rare minerals; we even found processed Vibranium and Titanium Stone, and we discovered many Mechas, missiles..."

The officer suppressed his excitement and reported in detail.

Admiral Ferion took in a breath of cold air upon hearing this.

"It seems we’ve struck the enemy’s artery this time. We will likely make a killing."

"Very good. Transfer everything to Starshine Fortress with utmost speed."

The violet-haired girl responded with satisfaction.

"Yes, sir!"

Admiral Ferion replied sternly.

...

Several hours later.

Major Su Ming, operating the Slaughter Mecha, escorted a Level 4 transport ship towards Starshine Fortress with a team.

At that time, a sweet voice rang out in the communication channel,

"Honored Major Su Ming, welcome back to Starshine Fortress."

"Please arrange for the ship’s entry port quickly."

"It’s all set up for you. Please go through Channel No. 5 to enter the dock."

"Good, thank you."

Su Ming replied calmly.

Before long, Su Ming and the others escorted the transport chamberr into the dock of Starshine Fortress.

The entire dock was bustling with activity, as ships returning home were docked everywhere.

Su Ming maneuvered the Slaughter Mecha to land on the metal floor and then said,

"Mandy, I leave it to you!"

"Roger that!"

Mandy’s voice came through the communication channel.

Afterward, Su Ming and a few others, including Ankaga, docked their Mechas and jumped out of the cockpit.

They hurried towards the dock’s moving platform, heading for the repair hangar.

A moment later, with heavy sounds resonating, the moving platform reached the repair hangar.

As Su Ming and the others hastily stepped off the platform, they faced the vast hangar and saw rows of damaged Iron Guard Mechas.

Many mechanics, operating Iron Head Mechas, were cutting into the destroyed Iron Guard cockpits, while soldiers, officers, and medics stood by.

Click!

Just then, a deformed cockpit of an Iron Guard was cut open.

A maimed corpse was lifted out!

"Ah~"

Teammates crowded around, some weeping softly, others crying out loud over the body!

The atmosphere in the entire area was filled with sorrow.

Ankaga and the rest wore very grim expressions upon seeing this scene.

With a heavy heart, Su Ming led Ankaga and the others forward.

The repair hangar was divided into two parts: one for cutting the Mecha cockpits and clearing bodies, and the other for storing the deceased.

When Su Ming reached the other area, he stopped a soldier and asked in a grave voice,

"Where are the corpses of the soldiers from the 3rd Battalion placed?"

"Sir, over there!"

The soldier reported immediately.

"Thank you!"

Su Ming led Ankaga and others hurriedly over.

As they approached, they saw Allu and others.

Allu, upon seeing Su Ming arriving, said with a sad expression,

"Squad leader, you’ve arrived."

"How’s it going?"

Su Ming asked in a deep voice.

"All the bodies have been recovered, they’re all here."

Allu replied with a hoarse voice.

Glancing over, Su Ming saw corpses neatly covered with white cloths, laid out on the ground.

He stepped forward, squatted down slowly, and lifted the white cloths one by one, looking at the faces of the deceased soldiers.

Although he hadn’t spent much time with these soldiers, most were strangers, yet there were some he recognized well.

Observing their bodies, Su Ming’s mood grew even heavier.

He covered the bodies again, stood up, and said to Allu,

"Give me the list of the fallen."

"Here."

Allu handed over a list to Su Ming.

Su Ming took the list, looked deeply at the fallen soldiers, bowed solemnly, and said,

"Rest in peace. I will take care of all the arrangements."

Ankaga and others stood there too, quietly staring at the bodies.

At this moment, a man in a lieutenant’s uniform, his face wrinkled and spotted with age, carrying a document, came over and saluted Su Ming,
