Chapter 402: Chapter 320 Military Control (Five-in-One)_6

"I’m going, isn’t that the guy who gave us a hard time last time?"

Zhang Yi recognized Lieutenant En Rui at a glance.

"Class leader, what should we do? This guy definitely won’t make it easy for us."

Ankaga said with worry.

"Let’s try it first!"

Su Ming’s heart also sank; he had not expected that this guy would be in charge of this service, truly embodying the saying, ’enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road.’

At that moment, as Lieutenant En Rui walked over and recognized Su Ming and the others, his face tightened into an indifferent expression and he coldly asked,

"So it’s you three, wanting to process the procedures to go to Black Flame Star?"

"Yes, we have completed our mission and now we want to return."

Su Ming responded calmly.

"We can’t process that! Go back and wait for notice."

Lieutenant En Rui said bluntly.

"What did you say, you’re doing this on purpose, right?"

Zhang Yi and Ankaga could no longer contain their anger, which flared up as they spoke furiously.

Su Ming’s brows furrowed.

"If we can’t process it, we can’t process it! What’s the problem?"

Lieutenant En Rui snorted and retorted.

"Oh, so you’re intentionally making things difficult for us, believe it or not, we’ll file a complaint?"

Zhang Yi had reached his limit and snapped at Lieutenant En Rui.

"Complain then, it still won’t get processed!"

Lieutenant En Rui replied with disdain.

"You!"

Zhang Yi and Ankaga were wholly provoked.

Then Lieutenant Oz, seeing Zhang Yi and the others getting angry, quickly spoke up to defuse the situation,

"Everyone calm down, take a deep breath! En Rui isn’t deliberately making things difficult for you, listen to me explain."

"Hmph, what’s there to explain?"

Lieutenant En Rui snorted and turned to leave.

Su Ming watched this scene with tightly locked eyebrows.

Lieutenant Oz, seeing how things were, shook his head helplessly.

"Listen to me, you three."

"Okay."

Su Ming replied calmly.

"It’s not that we don’t want to process your clearance, it’s that we can’t. Because of overloading, Black Flame Star has already suspended the processing of ship entry procedures, and there are no docking bays available on Black Flame Star either. Given these circumstances, how can we process it?"

"Black Flame Star has no docking bays either?"

"That’s right, it’s packed full, including the outer space being filled with ships."

"How did it get like this?"

"Alas, let me tell you the truth. We’re now in a wartime period, with a massive assembly and deployment of ships, so there’s no space."

"Can’t you supply us with some resources so we can bypass Black Flame Star and go dock at the next planet?"

"No, all ships entering from the Danube Star Sea and the nearby star seas must dock at Black Flame Star for inspection and to process subsequent procedures before they can fly further, or they will be treated as invaders! As for ships from the Bright Star Sea Neutral Zone, they must dock at Ninth Planet·Cui Lan Star, and ships from the Tidal Star Sea Neutral Zone must dock at Eighth Planet·Moon Star. However, you also have the option to enter through those two border planets; things aren’t so tight there!"

Oz said helplessly.

"That’s not realistic, the journey is too far and very dangerous."

Su Ming frowned, rejecting the suggestion outright.

Ankaga and the other person listened and said with a bitter face,

"We’re not really going to be unable to return, are we?"

"That won’t be the case, I do have a way."

Oz pondered for a moment and then told them.

"What way?"

Su Ming looked at Oz.

"I can arrange for you a temporary identity information for a military logistics transport ship here. You can fly directly to Black Flame Star without being attacked. Once you arrive at Black Flame Star, you can contact the office of Imperial Court Academy there and ask for their help to handle entry procedures for you, finding a docking place. I think your own people should help you out."

Oz offered a compromise.

"Are you sure this will work? Isn’t this like getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later?"

Ankaga and the other person were dumbfounded.

"That’s right, and if the Imperial Court Academy office is willing to help you out, you can also skip the Black Flame Star inspection, and through the Imperial Court Academy office, process the procedure to the Third Planet and after resupplying, set sail directly to your destination."

Oz made a suggestion to Su Ming and the others.

"Deal!"

Su Ming considered the option and then agreed.

Oz immediately turned to Zhang Xuan inside the booth and said,

"Quick, process the paperwork."

"Okay!"

Zhang Xuan immediately began the operation, and the paperwork was quickly in order.

Oz handed the paperwork to Su Ming and, while seeing them out, said to Su Ming,

"I have a few words I’d like to say to you all."

"You said."

"I hope you won’t complain about En Rui because of today’s events; in fact, it is normal for him not to see eye to eye with you."

"Why?"

Su Ming asked with some curiosity.

"Firstly, our military department already has a considerable number of issues with the Imperial Court Academy. And the most important point is that we are from the Sky Dome City·Bikong Academy, you understand."

Lieutenant Oz explained to Su Ming with a sense of resignation.

"Oh, so you’re from Bikong Academy."

"Yes, the relationship between the two schools is already bad, and if you were to lodge a complaint, the conflict would definitely escalate. It’s a critical time now; we should try to understand each other."

"I understand, we won’t complain about him, but I hope he can also adjust his attitude."

Su Ming responded reasonably.

"Thanks, I’ll definitely talk to him when I get back."

Lieutenant Oz, his close friend, was also taking great pains.

"By the way, may I know how to address you?"

Su Ming asked Lieutenant Oz.

"I’m Oz."

"Thank you, Officer Oz, then we’ll take our leave."

"Alright, safe travels!"

Oz stopped and said.

Su Ming nodded slightly and left with Zhang Yi.

After they had left the military building, Zhang Yi couldn’t help but complain.

"If it weren’t for Lieutenant Oz being such a personable man, I would have complained that other guy to death; he was acting all high and mighty."

"Better to avoid trouble when everything is so chaotic. Let’s head back to the Federation first."

Su Ming wasn’t in the mood to bother with those things.

"Alright!"

Seeing Su Ming say this, Zhang Yi didn’t continue to grumble.

...

Several hours later, Su Ming and his companions commandeered the Slaughterer and returned to the Fatty Dun.

It wasn’t long before the Fatty Dun set sail and departed.

...

Ten days later.

In the external star space of Black Flame Star.

A ripple in space occurred, and the Fatty Dun emerged from subspace.

In the central control room, Su Ming and the others stood at the observation deck, looking toward the star space ahead.

"Holy cow!"

Rhein and the others were so astounded by the sight before them that their mouths hung open.

The exterior of Black Flame Star, a planet fortress, was dotted with thousands of starships of various models, as numerous as the forces once assembled by the Neutral Country.

These ships were floating in space, waiting to dock at Black Flame Star.

At that moment, Mi Fei approached, looking very worried.

"Mr. Su Ming, we’ve reached Black Flame Star, but with the situation as it is, can we really dock?"

Mi Fei didn’t distrust Su Ming; it was just that seeing so many ships unable to dock at Black Flame Star, she was really unsure of what to do.

And the situation looked as if even the king of heaven would be of no help.

Moreover, the worst case was that the Fatty Dun was truly running out of resources.

"Don’t worry, leave the rest to me!"

Su Ming said and directly approached the control panel.

"Mr. Su Ming, what should we do now?"

Captain Hagett, seeing Su Ming approaching, asked nervously.

"You are to send a communication request to the Imperial Court Academy’s Black Flame Star office."

Su Ming instructed Captain Hagett.

"Okay!"

Captain Hagett, anxious, sent out the communication request.

A few minutes later, a notification popped up.

"Communication request successful, establishing connection!"

Then a woman wearing an Imperial Court Academy uniform appeared on the screen, an older woman with wrinkles and a stern expression, who asked with an indifferent attitude.

"I am Joni, the person in charge of the Imperial Court Academy office. What can I do for you?"

"Hello, I am Su Ming, a first-year student from Class 23 of the Mecha Department at the Imperial Court Academy. We’ve been on an external group promotion mission and have now successfully completed our return journey. However, because of Black Flame Star’s control policies, we haven’t processed the entry procedures, nor do we have a place to dock. We are hoping you could help us complete the procedures and find a berth for resupply, and then apply for the procedures to travel to the Third Planet."

Su Ming spoke very politely.

Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Joni’s face softened and her attitude changed 180 degrees, becoming much warmer.

"Student Su Ming, congratulations on completing your promotion mission. I will process your procedures immediately and arrange for a slot where you can land and resupply. Welcome home!"

"Thank you!"

Su Ming bowed with gratitude.
