Chapter 309: Chapter 305: Eve of the Great Battle (Five in One)_5

The trio took over the shift and headed towards the outside street.

An hour later, Mia led the two to a tavern called the Forest Tavern.

The tavern was decorated with a charming ambiance, with the door sign made of decaying driftwood, which not only lowered the cost but also elevated the class.

When Su Ming and his companions entered, the bar was lively, with every private booth filled with people.

Blinding lights, along with pulsating music, flashed continuously.

Mia pulled Su Ming and the other to an empty booth to sit down.

At that moment, a bartender came over, and upon seeing Mia, he hurriedly and politely asked,

"Miss, what will you have today?"

"Just bring us one of those 999999 combos for now, we’ll order more if it’s not enough."

Mia said casually.

"Alright, please wait a moment!"

The bartender immediately went to arrange it.

Ankaga swallowed hard and said to Teacher Mia,

"Teacher, just have a little drink, drinking too much is harmful!"

It was one thing to order a 100W combo, but looking at the situation, it seemed like it still wouldn’t be enough.

"What are you afraid of? The squad leader is sitting right here, and he’s got money!"

Mia said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Sigh, it’s okay, tonight, how much ever we drink, it’s on me."

Su Ming sighed.

"Phew, thanks a lot, squad leader."

Ankaga let out a sigh of relief after hearing Su Ming’s words.

Although he had a bit of money, he hadn’t yet saved enough to buy a Second Generation Mecha, so he dared not splurge recklessly.

Soon, ten bottles of pink base liquor were brought over.

Mia opened them all in one go and placed two bottles directly in front of Su Ming and the other person.

"Come on! Let’s do one!"

"Alright!"

Su Ming and Ankaga lifted their bottles and clinked glasses.

The three of them downed a bottle each.

At this moment, Su Ming’s gaze inadvertently swept across a booth in front of them, and he hesitated before saying,

"Teacher Mia, isn’t that Major Gene and Captain Wang Sheng sitting at that booth up front?"

Hearing Su Ming’s words, Mia and Ankaga turned their heads to look.

They saw Major Gene and Captain Wang Sheng, dressed in casual clothes, sitting at a booth, drinking glasses in hand and looking quite intimate.

"No way, how come those two are drinking together?"

Ankaga asked, baffled.

"What’s so strange about that?"

Mia took a sip from the bottle and said.

"But wasn’t Wang Sheng disobeying orders on the field, and Major Gene was so mad he almost chopped him?"

Ankaga became even more puzzled.

"That’s so naive, you don’t even understand simple human situations! Let me tell you, Major Gene and Captain Wang Sheng share a life-and-death friendship, they’re sworn brothers! Also, Major Gene should be thanking Wang Sheng for his insubordination!"

Mia straightforwardly explained to Su Ming and the other.

Su Ming looked thoughtful upon hearing what Mia said.

Ankaga, however, was more confused the more he listened.

"Why?"

"Let me tell you, it’s true that Major Gene gave the order to retreat, with the intention of preserving the students and teachers. But if that order were carried out, and just one of the rescued survivors reported it, it would be light for him to pack up and leave, it would be normal for him to spend a couple of years in prison!"

"Why? There was nothing wrong with his order then; the situation was so dangerous."

"There are four reasons: It violates military regulations, it’s an abandonment in the face of death, it’s cowardly, and it destroys unity."

Su Ming chimed in with an explanation.

"Exactly, in that situation, Captain Wang Sheng could only disobey and take action to rescue. Even if there were later casualties among the students and teachers, the blame would not fall on Major Gene, but on Captain Wang Sheng. Because if investigated, it would be seen as Captain Wang Sheng’s insubordination that led to the casualties, effectively protecting Major Gene. Put simply, out of the two of them, someone had to take the blame."

Mia continued the explanation.

"Man, that’s complicated."

Ankaga scratched his head.

"Take the time to learn, you’ve got to understand all these intricate human relations and complicated matters. Otherwise, when you’re serving, thinking about getting promoted or ennobled will be harder than reaching the heavens!"

Mia said to them.

"The path forward in life seems so hard!"

After hearing Mia’s words, Ankaga said with a grimace.

"That’s nothing, just take it step by step!"

Mia said cheerfully.

Su Ming sighed, raised his bottle, and said,

"Let’s not talk about depressing stuff, let’s drink!"

"Cheers!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Mia, in high spirits, raised her bottle.

Danube Star Sea, the outer space near the Anfas Empire Main Star.

A Battleship measuring 50 kilometers long, with a stout bow and elongated body covered in gray armor, bristling with tens of thousands of launch ports and flying the flag of the Anfas Empire, the Fifth-Class Battleship Flame Fang led a fleet of ships as they slowly deployed into formation.

Then, one by one, triangular defense fortresses moved slowly over to supplement the scattered formation.

In the distant starry sky, ships bearing the flag of the Kviten Kingdom and adorned with the double-headed lion symbol approached in a grand fleet from deep space, entering the defensive area on the right flank.

At that moment, various work ships moved to different positions in the space in front of the defensive line, opening multiple launch ports!

Swish!

A dense cloud of irregularly shaped camouflaged stellar mines spread out.

These mines, with an outer appearance indistinguishable from ordinary meteorites, were in essence proximity-fused high-explosive bombs capable of easily penetrating high-strength armor.

The next second, these ships opened various exits, and numerous Third Generation Mecha Wind Chasers, accompanied by Iron Guard Mecha, burst forth into various sectors of space for patrol.
