Chapter 1886: Chapter 18: Fall of the Emperor (Part 3)
...
A week later, at the headquarters of the Anti-Demon Alliance on Water Blue Star.
Li Zixuan and all members of the Mad Bee Team were standing somewhat nervously on the open ground outside the military camp. Beside them were the Bearded instructor and two other high-level commanders dressed in Anti-Demon Alliance uniforms.
"Don’t be nervous, boys, the great achievements you’ve accomplished this time truly deserve these rewards. Even I got praised a bit for it, hahaha!"
The Bearded man laughed heartily.
Beside him, the two men in high-level commander uniforms also wore kind smiles.
These five young men, who had just left training camp not long ago, achieved such monumental feats in this operation, taking even the high-ranking commanders by surprise.
"You’ve done well, Mad Bee Team. In recognition of your merits, you will directly qualify for promotion, and Star Alliance Commander Chu He has personally requested you. He hopes you will become members of the New Third Fleet and will ensure you have the opportunity for Awakening Extraordinary Strength."
Even though they had already known part of the news beforehand, the words still filled the five members of the Mad Bee Team with excitement.
They exchanged whispers, each wearing an indelible smile on their faces.
The Bearded man and the other two did not interrupt them but watched as they gestured enthusiastically, their faces showing satisfaction.
The Human Alliance precisely needs such talents. These five young people remained calm in such a critical situation, step by step walking out of what seemed like a certain death scenario, and they even played a decisive role in the battle. Such strength and composure are not something ordinary people can possess. Such geniuses are treasures in the eyes of these commanders, and there’s no harm in letting a treasure have a moment of joy, right?
A moment later, the leading man lightly coughed and said:
"Alright, now don’t be too hasty in celebrating. I’m still going to take you to the Star Alliance for your formal promotion ceremony. It won’t be too late to celebrate once that’s done."
His words immediately made the five stop their laughter, each straightening up in a pose of attentively listening to his speech.
"However, there’s one more thing I need to confirm with you. Commander Chu He stated that after joining the New Third Fleet, you will have two paths to choose from: one is to remain in the training camp and help cultivate more excellent talents; the other is to follow him to the Phantom Spirit Star System to fight. It doesn’t matter which you choose; it’s all about your own considerations. Hehe, to be honest, I’ve never seen anyone who could make Commander Chu He so agreeable, hahaha."
The man laughed after speaking.
"Phantom Spirit Star System?"
With a slight tilt of her head, Meng Meimei spoke. She had heard of the name and knew a little about the matters over there. It seemed like there were a lot of insects, but she wasn’t too clear on the details.
The leading man saw this and explained.
"Hehe, the Phantom Spirit Star System, that’s a frontline battlefield against the Desert Worm Clan. It’s also the area where Beller drones are extensively deployed. Compared to there, what you saw in the Prism System was just a small scene."
"Drone swarm? Prism System is a small scene?"
His words puzzled the members of the Mad Bee Team for a moment, but they quickly realized.
After all, in that battle, the main force of the drones that appeared in the end rushed back from there, so what he said made sense.
"So, consider it well and let me know your decision, but don’t take too long—the battlefield in the Phantom Spirit Star System won’t wait for anyone."
The man spoke with a slightly serious tone.
At this point, Li Zixuan exchanged a look with the others and saw the fighting spirit in each other’s eyes.
He knew, in fact, that they didn’t need to consider any further because that strong will to fight was the answer in itself.
