Chapter 493: Chapter 335: Discussing Achievements and Granting Rewards (Five-in-One)_6

Admiral Ferion then announced,

"Thank you!"

Su Ming replied with some surprise.

The third group had already been awarded a Level 4 battleship, and normally they wouldn’t be expecting another ship. He hadn’t anticipated the Legion Commander would actually bestow the Wind Moving to him personally.

"There’s something else I’d like to congratulate you on."

Admiral Ferion suddenly said with a smile.

"Congratulate me?"

Su Ming was slightly startled, responding with a bit of astonishment.

"On behalf of the Federation, I officially award you the Level 4 Silver Moon Badge. Starting today, you can paint a Red Moon on your mecha!"

Admiral Ferion formally announced.

Kaff and others, upon hearing Admiral Ferion’s words, were all dumbstruck.

This was about painting a Red Moon, not a Red Star!

Even the strongest among them, Kaff, had never painted a moon before. This was indeed a tremendous honor.

"I can paint a Red Moon?"

Su Ming was also very surprised. He had thought that being able to paint a Red Star would have been great, but it turned out he could paint a Red Moon.

"You are very lucky; that Weikank was exceptionally outstanding, a rising star of the Dark Star Empire. Moreover, I just checked, and he was recently added to the Federation’s red list!"

Admiral Ferion explained to Su Ming.

"I see."

Su Ming, hearing this, understood what was happening.

Weikank must have done something recently that got him on the Level 4 list, and Su Ming had intercepted him.

Clap clap!

At that moment, Shu’en initiated a round of applause.

Everyone followed suit and began to clap, offering their congratulations.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you, everyone."

Su Ming humbly replied.

"Next, Major Curry of the fourth group..."

Admiral Ferion continued with the announcements.

About half an hour later, after distributing all the awards, Admiral Ferion stated solemnly,

"All awards have now been distributed. We will now begin to allocate funding and quotas to the various mecha groups. The amount disbursed will correlate with your performance."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded solemnly.

"First Group will receive 30 billion Federation Coins and a 20 billion weapons and ammunition quota. The Second Group will be allocated 20 billion Federation Coins and a 15 billion weapons and ammunition quota. The Third Group will receive 30 billion Federation Coins and a 20 billion weapons and ammunition quota..."

Admiral Ferion announced calmly.

Shu’en and Hejassi, hearing the high level of funding and quotas their groups would receive, showed complex expressions on their faces. It was clear that their groups’ substantial funding and quotas were thanks to Su Ming.

Soon after, Admiral Ferion finished making the announcements. He scanned the audience and asked,

"Does anyone have any objections?"

"None!"

Everyone replied in unison.

"These funds and quotas are at the discretion of your respective groups. As for war pensions, mecha maintenance, resupply costs, and other expenses, the Legion will cover them in full."

Admiral Ferion told the audience.

"Thank you, General!"

Kaff and the others replied with enthusiasm.

After Admiral Ferion had finished announcing, he stepped aside.

At this moment, the girl with purple hair raised her hand and gave a pat.

Soldiers promptly came forward, each carrying a tray. On the trays were the Glory Badges.

The girl with purple hair said to the audience,

"This campaign was the Thirteenth Legion’s first battle, and everyone performed exceptionally well. I have decided to award everyone a Glory Badge!"

"Thank you, Legion Commander."

Kaff and the others replied in turn.

The soldiers who came up began to hang the badges on everyone’s chest.

However, Su Ming didn’t just have one medal, he had two, one was the Silver Moon Badge, and the other was the Glory Badge.

"Alright, the awards ceremony ends here. Now let’s get down to business."

The purple-haired girl spoke gravely.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming and others promptly stood at attention and faced the purple-haired girl.

"According to feedback from our scouts, the Rock Army that rushed over has already retreated. That means we won’t be attacked for the time being. I’ve decided we’ll temporarily station at the Siloke Star Sea! Of course, the Imperial Army won’t let it go so easily, so you need to take advantage of this time to quickly reorganize your troops and recover combat effectiveness!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded seriously.

"Good, meeting adjourned!"

After finishing, the purple-haired girl walked straight out.

Admiral Ferion and two others followed the purple-haired girl out.

"Let’s go, hurry to the dock and take a look at the ships we’ve been assigned."

Kaff and the others said, unable to contain their excitement.

"We’re going too!"

Curry and others followed suit.

Shu’en then turned his head to Su Ming.

"Let’s go and take a look together."

"Sure!"

Su Ming was also keen to check out the Wind Moving; he remembered that it hadn’t suffered severe damage.

So, everyone at the venue quickly headed together toward Dock 2, where all the captured ships were kept.

An hour later.

Su Ming and the group reached Dock 2 using the rapid metal transport platform.

When they stepped off the metal transport, they were met with the sight of the 5th class Battleship·Grey Gun.

The entire 5th class Battleship·Grey Gun had been severely damaged, with many launch ports blasted open and rows of intercept cannons destroyed. Of course, these were nothing compared to the thrusters at the rear of the ship.

Kaff looked at the damaged parts of the ship and said with a pained expression,

"Did we go this hard on them before?"

"Yes, Commander."

Chen Ying replied with a wry smile.

"How much money is it going to take to fix all this?"

Kaff asked sorrowfully, realizing the truth in the saying: the more enjoyable the battle, the more painful the repairs.

"Colonel Kaff, aside from the bow, those damaged launch ports and cannons are indeed quite expensive to repair, but still bearable. The real trouble is those thrusters, each one damaged beyond recognition, and the cost to repair each is astronomical!"

Major Aragon said, rubbing his head with a headache.

"Who destroyed them?"

Kaff asked darkly upon hearing this.

Whoosh!

Everyone’s gaze suddenly turned to Su Ming.

Su Ming coughed awkwardly and mustered a weak smile,

"I did it because I was afraid it would escape, and besides, it’s not entirely my fault, you all did your fair share of damage too!"

Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Colonel Kaff and Major Aragon, feeling like they had bitten into a bitter pill, could only reply with a somewhat forlorn tone,

"Major Su Ming, could you please be a little gentler next time we engage?"

"Sure, I’ll pay more attention next time."

Su Ming replied, his face slightly flushed with embarrassment.

Those few shots from him meant that the first and second groups were going to bleed a lot of money.

Seeing everyone teasing Su Ming, Shu’en said with a laugh,

"Alright, stop teasing him. Officer Kaff, let’s go check out our own ships."

"Right!"

Kaff took in a deep breath and responded.

"Su Ming, let’s go!"

Shu’en then said to Su Ming.

"Yeah!"

Su Ming hurriedly followed Shu’en and Hejassi, taking the small transport to the Kaba’s docking area.
