Chapter 1097 - 431: Reunion (5-in-1) (Part 5)
Su Ming replied with a wry smile.
"Yeah, we can vouch for it, the boss really rose through the ranks on his own. We participated in several major battles, and in the process, some classmates sacrificed themselves."
Rhein and the others spoke emphatically.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming’s smile disappeared, and he sighed.
"Sorry, teacher, I didn’t take good care of them."
"Alright, don’t say that. You all have done well. Where there’s war, there are casualties."
Mia said quite philosophically.
"Teacher is right. We were prepared for sacrifice long before we went to the battlefield, so boss, it’s not your fault."
Rhein and the others nodded in agreement.
"Let’s not dwell on it; it’s rare for us to be together. Let’s have a toast!"
Mia said with a smile, raising her glass.
"Alright, cheers!"
Su Ming and the others raised their glasses one by one.
Everyone clinked their glasses and drank it all in one go!
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively.
After several rounds of drinks, Mia was drinking enthusiastically with Su Ming.
Buzz buzz~
Mia’s wristband started vibrating continuously.
She glanced down at it, put down her glass, and kept clicking on the wristband, entering something.
Seeing Mia constantly tapping on the wristband, Su Ming curiously asked.
"Teacher, are you busy? Is something up?"
"Nothing much, it’s just a bunch of damned guys cursing me below my post."
Mia replied without even thinking.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming asked thoughtfully.
"Teacher, are you confronting someone online?"
"More or less!"
"Who are you arguing with this time, teacher?"
"Who else could it be, of course, those bastards from Heavenly Revelation Divine Country. These guys are super arrogant, daring to curse me, see if I don’t curse them back to death."
Mia replied angrily.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming curiously leaned in for a look.
He saw Mia log into Star Cluster Forum, using the account ’Gentle Fairy’, and frantically posting.
"Heavenly Revelation Divine Country’s scoundrels, here I am again! Come out for a duel if you dare, see how I’ll destroy you...."
"Mia, are you challenging Heavenly Revelation Divine Country to a fight?"
Su Ming saw what Mia was typing and asked with a look of astonishment.
The Federation’s Star Cluster Forum is region-based, so the posts displayed vary by region. The forum in Abyss of Descent mostly shows posts from this area, while Shabask Kingdom’s forum shows posts from their area, like a local network.
Usually, only very important official posts are transported over long distances.
Although this area’s Star Cluster Forum is open to its own people, the opposing side can still hack in.
"That’s right, I’m going to take them down, those bastards!"
Mia cursed furiously.
"What happened?"
Su Ming asked with a strange expression.
"What else could happen, I led a team to explore inside the Abyss of Descent, finally discovered an undeveloped area filled with planets. Among them, there’s a giant planet containing Eternal Metal and High-level Energy Crystal! But my vanguard exploration team bumped into Heavenly Revelation Divine Country’s troops just as they were about to retreat after their investigation, and got completely wiped out! Later, we brought troops and got into a battle with them! Unfortunately, their forces were too strong, and we lacked weapons and ammunition, so we didn’t win and retreated with heavy casualties. Finally, supplies arrived, if we don’t seek revenge now, when then?"
Mia gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"How many troops do they have?"
Su Ming asked with a furrowed brow.
"Not that many, five legions."
Mia replied straightforwardly.
"Five legions, so how many do you have?"
Upon hearing Mia’s words, Rhein and the others’ hearts skipped a beat, and they quickly asked.
"Just the Second Legion here, along with the reinforcements I brought."
Mia answered directly.
"Isn’t that one vs. five? Can this be fought?"
Rhein and the others asked in shock.
"Why can’t it be fought, I’ll crush their heads in no time."
Mia snapped angrily.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming pondered for a moment.
"Teacher, has Heavenly Revelation Divine Country been active lately?"
"That’s right, previously we were mining resources here, though we had grudges but it was restrained. But recently it’s not the case, especially after tearing faces over at Tidal Star Sea, it’s basically real guns and ammunition now."
Mia briefly explained the situation to Su Ming.
"Seems like the situation is getting worse."
Su Ming sighed slightly and said.
"Let’s not talk about the depressing stuff, let’s drink!"
Mia raised her glass.
"Alright!"
Su Ming and the others raised their glasses.

-------------------------------------
The next morning.
Su Ming woke up early and headed to the bathroom.
His room is 120 square meters, equipped with basic amenities, not particularly great but adequate.
Su Ming squeezed some toothpaste and started brushing his teeth in front of the mirror.
Buzz buzz!
Suddenly, his wristband vibrated.
Su Ming glanced down at the wristband screen, and a message popped up.
"Respected Vice Admiral Su Ming, you have been temporarily assigned under Admiral Mia’s command...."
After reading the message, a faint smile appeared on Su Ming’s face, and he continued to freshen up.
A moment later, Su Ming came out of the room, walked straight to Mia’s door, and knocked.
Knock knock~
But there was no response.
Su Ming continued to knock for a while, yet still no response.
He found himself puzzled for a moment.
Yesterday, it was beer, and Mia didn’t drink much, right?
While Su Ming was puzzled, finally there was movement from inside, accompanied by slow footsteps approaching, the door was opened.
