Chapter 305: Well Deserved
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
At this mont, Qiangsen had also received the news that his n had finally taken control of the other two battleships.
It was ti to attack!
The two battleships aid at the pirate ships that were escaping, and the unmanned drones chased after the pirates.
Eric raged, "F**k, are these people crazy!?"
Qiangsen took down the last pirate and looked at Eric. "Eric, it’s over."
"Mu Sen, what on earth were you doing!?" Eric was stunned, as he was the most capable assistant he had recruited from outside the Solar System alongside his subordinates. He was ruthless and impressive. When the pirates were fighting for territory internally, he depended greatly on Mu Sen. It had never crossed his mind that Mu Sen was an undercover agent.
"I’m Qiangsen, the leader of the Solar System Federation Pirate Inspection Team."
"You’re courting death!"
Rumble rumble...
The Atlantis ch stayed afloat in the air, the runes dimd gradually, and the ch slowly turned silent.
For Wang Zheng, it was too much to absorb. He had finally understood that Instructor Bonehead wasn’t bragging for nothing.
This was a real super soldier!
With his vision turning dark, at the very last mont, he could still feel a deep longing towards battle.
He believed that there was definitely fighting spirit within Bonehead.
Within the cube, Bonehead looked at the exhausted Charcoal. Both of them ca from different lineages, yet they were affiliated. More importantly, they had a common goal.
Falling into deep sleep was so that one could wake up... all for the endless battle......
The ray of light surrounding the two robots gradually dimd, until it finally disappeared.
Within the ship, Lie Xin and the others were shocked, and everyone was looking at the Atlantis ch that was afloat.
They were all unable to believe the reality right before their eyes. Who was the one inside the ch?
Lear and Achilles had already piloted their cha to tow Atlantis’ Phantom King back, and everyone saw Wang Zheng lying unconscious in the cockpit.
In the midst of this ss, Qiangsen had already obtained control of the pirate ship. If not for the imnse pressure on the outside that had attracted the attention of the pirates, it would have been a dreadful battle. It was a little too easy for him this ti around.
That terrifying Atlantis ch had the power of deterrence. As an Earth warrior, one would have heard of how formidable yet horrifying the Atlantis ch warriors were. A lone individual could turn the tables. However, this was only understandable after witnessing its might with one’s eyes.
But... how could the Solar System Federation order the people of Atlantis around? And their ace pilots at that.
Lie Xin imdiately went to examine Wang Zheng. Shortly after, she heaved a sigh of relief. "Vitals are normal. We can wait for the ergency team to arrive!"
Everyone else was relieved. They glanced at one another, bewildered by the situation.
Wang Zheng was able to operate the Atlantis ch. Furthermore, he had perford so fiercely and cruelly. If he had shown such powers earlier, everyone would have chosen him as the leader. This was no ordinary power.
Achilles and Lear did not think it would have turned out this way, but without Wang Zheng’s power, all of them would have perished.
Raston looked at Lie Xin and smiled. "Looks like we have a leader now."
Lie Xin responded, "I hope nothing is wrong with him."
Having been in battles their entire lives, the three generals had seen many implausible situations. However, this was their first ti witnessing such a situation right before their eyes.
"Looks like we have an ace in the hole!"
"This is probably his Ability X!"
"Does Wang Zheng have Atlantis parentage?"
"No, he doesn’t. However, the Atlantis people ca from Earth. Perhaps amongst the people on Earth, there is a possibility of an individual fulfilling these criteria."
ng Ao smiled and said, "Nonetheless, we have a secret weapon now. I don’t think there will be any disagreents with him becoming the leader."
"Haha, you all should thank for this. If I had not thought of putting the Atlantis ch inside, we would have lost it all!" Lie Wuqing laughed.
He really did not think much of that decision at that point in ti. He only had a lasting impression of Wang Zheng’s simple-mindedness at that ti, and it had eventually saved the entire team unexpectedly.
The pirates were extrely cunning. Thanks to Qiangsen’s ambush, they finally got rid of one major concern of the Solar System and severely shocked the pirates at the sa ti.
Including Yuan Ye, many had approved of Wang Zheng being the leader. If he had not withstood the laser blast at the crucial mont, the team would have suffered major losses.
Achilles and Lear were not incompetent, but at this mont, everyone had chosen Wang Zheng as the leader.
Lear was a little unwilling, but it was useless. On the other hand, Achilles was rather calm about this outco.
Half an hour later, the fleet led by Duncan arrived, only to realize that the battle had already ended.
Duncan linked up with Qiangsen. Although they had different ideals, it was no doubt that Qiangsen had rendered a ritorious service.
As the two of them t up, Qiangsen saw the berserk pilot of the Phantom King.
The pilot was Wang Zheng.
A smile appeared as the old friends had t again.
"Why, do you know each other?" Duncan asked.
"We’re old friends. I knew this guy was different from the rest, but I did not expect him to be so formidable. Help pass a ssage to him, that I wish to go into battle together with him in the future," Qiangsen said.
Duncan was dumbfounded. He knew that for Qiangsen, a special forces warrior, there were few individuals that he would take a fancy to. It was unexpected that Qiangsen had viewed Wang Zheng in a different light.
It was ti for Qiangsen to report back. Though the mission was a narrow brush with death, it was completed easily in the end, leaving them bemused.
All along, Baldy and the others had doubts about Qiangsen’s praises, but this ti they were convinced. Wang Zheng was amazing.
From the last battle, it was an undeniable fact that Wang Zheng was the sole contender for the position of the leader.
Furthermore, looking at the results of the battle, it was Wang Zheng who saved everyone.
Upon returning to Mars, a military eting was held. Not many were attending, but all of them were the senior generals from the Federation whom individually held control over large troops.
The Admiral of Mars, Lie Wuqing, had announced the final decision.
Wang Zheng had the support of Mars and beca the IG leader of the Solar System Federation.
In the grand appointnt ceremony, it was the first ti the Earth military band had stood on this stage, performing the Earth’s military music.
In the midst of the military band drums drumming away, Wang Zheng stood on the stage and saluted. Then Admiral ng Ao walked towards him, with two female guards of honor, holding a small bouquet of flowers and a red wooden box respectively.
"On behalf of the Solar System Federation army, I present to Wang Zheng the a second class military dal, and the military records will be input into the Federation’s system. Congratulations," ng Ao said as he presented the dals and flowers to Wang Zheng.
"Yes, Sir!" Wang Zheng said as he received the military dal and flowers.
ng Ao nodded his head. Then Lie Wuqing and Drachmach walked over with the female guards of honor.
Achilles and Lear were appointed as the assistant team leaders. Lie Xin did not make the cut, but it was expected as she did not do much during the intense battle with the pirates. Although she had the abilities, it wasn’t the only factor for consideration; the competition was that cruel.
"Achilles and Lear will receive third class military dals, and the military records will be input into the Federation’s system," Drachmach said whilst giving out the dals. Then he signalled Lie Wuqing to give the closing words.
Lie Wuqing smiled and looked at Wang Zheng. "The leader can choose seven team mbers."
There were 12 IG places in the Federation, and the leader had to choose seven mbers. Aside from the assistant team leaders, there were three places left. The three places had long been decided. It would be Lie Xin, Raston, and Taros.
During the training camp selection, no matter how they had fought, it was ultimately an internal competition. However, what awaited them was going against the entire Milky Way. For them to rise up, they had to gather all their powers. Before this, Lear, Achilles, and Taros were told that the Federation would not interfere in their personal feuds. However, during the IG match, they must exemplify the qualities of a real serviceman by giving it their all and helping one another out.
Honestly speaking, appointing Wang Zheng as the leader was not solely for his extraordinary performance during the battle with the pirates. It was also in consideration of maintaining the balance within the Federation. Achilles, Lear, and Lie Xin had known each other from young and were always competing with one another. At this point in ti, no matter who had beco the leader, it would be unacceptable for the other two. Even if they did not obstruct one another’s paths, there were psychological obstacles they had to overco. In a showdown, a little mistake in one’s ntality played a major role in determining the final winner.
It would be different if the leader was Wang Zheng, as he was an unexpected contender. It would be acceptable if one of the trio did not get chosen, and so did the other two rivals who have been fighting all these years as well.
The reason why Achilles and Lear were appointed as the assistant leaders, leaving out Lie Xin, was because amongst the three individuals, Lie Xin had better relations with Wang Zheng. Things would not go wrong with Lie Xin acting as the lubricant between them.
Then Lie Wuqing signalled to Wang Zheng, telling him to choose his mbers from the rest of the group. This was, in fact, an important ceremony. Having been chosen as the leader after such an intense competition, it was essential to establish dignity among these elites, and the greatest dignity lied in having the power to choose his fellow mbers.
Wang Zheng nodded his head and said, "I will get straight to the point. Zhang Runan, ng Tian, Lie Guang, Edison, Masasi, Luo Fei, Zhang Shan."
"The aboventioned people will be awarded fourth class military dals. Similarly, the military records will be input into the Federation’s system," Lie Wuqing announced.
Then what was left was communicating with the Milky Way Alliance headquarters and reporting the list of nas.
The end of the ceremony ant the official dissolution of the training camp. The three admirals smiled at one another and left. Everything was set, and it was ti for the young ones to relax and for the eliminated individuals to adjust to the current situation.
"Wang Zheng, what the heck, why was my na read out last?" Zhang Shan questioned.
Wang Zheng smiled and patted Zhang Shan’s shoulder. "The trump card always cos out at the very last mont."
Zhang Shan’s eyes lit up. "Trump card? You an...."
Wang Zheng continued, "Your ability to teleport will definitely amaze the entire Milky Way."
"Haha, I guess so? I’m the main character who everyone follows and learns from!" Zhang San started showing off.
"Therefore, you don’t have ti to rest. You still have a long period of ti before the actual match, and within this period, you must make significant progress with your powers."
"That’s nothing. I’m the idol of countless girls across the Milky Way."
Contrasting to the relaxed atmosphere here, it was a little down and gloomy over on the Moon side. Only Masasi was chosen, and most likely it was because he had enrolled in Ares College before.
Dong Xiaosa wasn’t pleased. "Seems like cronyism." He had been so confident in being chosen in front of his family mbers, but it was all aningless.
"You can’t put it that way, this is the power of the leader. He has to use people that he knows and understands well." Milo was very calm. Much of the complaints were put down by the fact that Wang Zheng had saved their lives, but the people of the Moon had returned in low spirits.
