Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Arrival (Added for book friend Zhang Shemei’an) (Fourth update)

"Hear about what?"

Su Ming looked at Rhein with puzzled question.

"That Captain Wang Sheng didn’t die, he was rescued."

Rhein opened his mouth to tell Su Ming and the others.

"That’s wonderful news!"

Su Ming said some relief upon hearing this.

"It is good news, but I heard that Captain Wang Sheng has been stripped of his rank for violating military orders, and all his subordinates have been disciplined."

Rhein continued to tell everyone.

"No way? Stripped of his rank and disciplined despite his contributions?"

Allu and the others found it hard to accept.

"This punishment is normal for defying military orders. It’s serious."

Su Ming wasn’t surprised by this outcome.

"So what’s he going to do?"

Zhang Yi and the others asked with a sigh.

"However, there is some good news. Although Captain Wang Sheng has been stripped of his rank, I heard that Imperial Court Academy has employed him. He is now the head of the school’s security team. Though without a military rank, at least he has food to eat and can provide for his family."

Rhein coughed and said.

"Rhein, you did that on purpose, splitting such important news into two parts."

Zhang Yi and the others rolled their eyes at Rhein.

"I just wanted to cheer you up since you all looked so down."

Rhein replied somewhat sheepishly.

"Ah, never mind. Sometimes the more you know, the more trouble you have."

Zhang Yi reclined back.

"Don’t be so negative! I heard there are credits and rewards coming our way."

Rhein hurriedly comforted Zhang Yi and the others.

"Oh."

Zhang Yi responded offhandedly.

"Oh? Is that all your reaction?"

Rhein was instantly taken aback.

"What else then? Right, squad leader?"

"Uh..."

Su Ming responded indifferently.

At this time, Rhein somewhat irritably said to Zhang Yi and the others.

"You can’t possibly be unaware of what credits are used for?"

"They’re just for advancing in school, right?"

Zhang Yi and the others responded subconsciously.

"Advance school my foot. Credits are used for exchanging military ranks when you enlist, and it’s a one-to-one exchange!"

Rhein looked at Zhang Yi and the others like they were idiots.

"Exchange for military ranks?"

Su Ming was also somewhat surprised to hear Rhein’s words.

"Rhein, you’re not joking, are you?"

Zhang Yi and the others looked at Rhein incredulously.

"Why would I lie to you? Otherwise, why do you think our school’s students start with such high ranks when they enlist? Do you really think military ranks are as common as cabbage, just given out like that?"

Rhein explained to Su Ming and the others.

"I see."

Su Ming finally understood what was going on.

Just then, Mia walked over with a very serious expression, and Mandy noticed her by chance and quickly said.

"Teacher is coming."

Su Ming and the others quickly stood up and arranged themselves in a line.

Mia approached Su Ming and the others with a very serious expression and said.

"I have to inform you of something. At three o’clock this afternoon, we will arrive in the Neutral Country of Abayk. At that time, we will begin the material transfer operations. You must remember all the various matters I instructed you about earlier."

"Understood."

Zhang Yi and the others replied with somewhat low spirits.

Mia glanced over them and said to the group.

Adjust your mindset and stay alert during the operation. I know it’s tough for you all, but if you have issues, talk about them back home. If it really gets to you, go see a psychologist. There’s no shame in it, and students from other classes are all receiving psychological guidance."

"Understood."

Su Ming and the others nodded in agreement.

....

At three o’clock in the afternoon.

A ripple flickered through the blackness of space, followed by the Red Teeth terminating its superluminal flight.

Inside the Red Teeth Command Room.

Lieutenant An Jie reported with utmost professionalism.

"Commander, we have arrived at Karet Star Sea, and right ahead is the Abayk Country’s Main Star."

Colonel Xiao Ye sat in the command chair, looking at the optical display screen, which showed a grey planet enveloped by numerous fleets for protection.

It was clear that the Abayk Country had heightened its security level.

"Request permission from the Abayk Country to land at the interstellar airport."

Xiao Ye issued the command in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Lieutenant An Jie immediately transmitted the identity recognition information and request to the Abayk Country’s defense forces.

An Jie soon received a response and said to Xiao Ye,

"Commander, they have approved our landing."

"Mm."

Xiao Ye responded in a deep voice.

The Red Teeth then headed towards the Abayk Main Star.

...

Section H · Viewing Area.

Su Ming and others were looking through binoculars, observing the Abayk Main Star drawing near.

"Not bad at all, I didn’t expect this relatively unknown Abayk Kingdom to have level 4 battleships in defense."

Zhang Yi expressed his surprise.

"These small Neutral Countries might not compare to the Federation, but never underestimate them, they might even have higher-class ships!"

Su Ming replied thoughtfully.

"That’s true."

Zhang Yi agreed heartily.

As they were conversing, the Red Teeth arrived at the Abayk Main Star and started to enter the atmosphere, shaking the entire ship slightly.

"We’re going in!"

Angel and others spoke out.

"Finally, we’re arriving. It wasn’t an easy journey, let’s hope everything goes smoothly from here."

Rhein and a few others remarked feelingly.

"It’ll definitely be fine. Once we’ve transferred the supplies, we’ll be on our way."

Zhang Yi replied, stretching.

"Look, the Royal City of the Abayk Kingdom!"

Angel pointed towards the distance and shouted.

At that moment, the Red Teeth had pierced the atmosphere and was descending in altitude, a vast grey plain coming into view.

Following the direction Angel pointed, Su Ming saw a sizable base city standing on the distant ground, covered by a Dorag Sphere. A few smaller Dorag Spheres were scattered around the base.

To the right of the base city lay a huge, square-shaped interstellar airport. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"The strength of this Abayk Kingdom is indeed impressive; their Royal City almost rivals the central area of Starlight City."

Rhein and the others said in amazement.

"Mm, but the stronger the kingdom, the more cautious we must be in our dealings. You must remember what the teacher said. We’re only here to transfer supplies; everything else is none of our business. Avoid communicating with anyone, and definitely, do not have any conflicts with the people of this country."

Su Ming reminded Rhein and the others calmly.

"Okay!"

Rhein and the others replied with a serious expression.

After more than half an hour.

The Red Teeth landed smoothly at the interstellar airport of the Abayk Kingdom.

At this moment, a giant metal grid rose from the ground on the side of the Red Teeth, extending a walkway that connected to ship’s primary A1 exit.

Clack!

The A1 primary exit opened.

Vice Principal Fleck and Colonel Xiao Ye, along with a group of teachers, exited the ship and headed directly down the stairs within the metal grid towards the underground.

The environment of the Abayk Kingdom’s Main Star was extremely harsh; without protective gear, it was impossible to survive on the surface.
