Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057: Awarding Honors
Seeing Lan Xuanyu walk in, everyone smiled and applauded him.
Lan Xuanyu stopped in his tracks, collected himself, and saluted sharply.
General Bai Ling smiled and said, “Our hero has arrived.”
Lan Xuanyu quickly stepped forward, approaching General Bai Ling. In such an atmosphere, he couldn’t help feeling excited.
He saluted General Bai Ling again, and General Bai Ling returned the salute with a smile, “Although when you first arrived, I felt that you would not remain silent in the Seventh Fleet, I didn’t expect that in such a short period of time you would accomplish such great feats for the federation. So much so that although we haven’t done much for you, we too have received the federal awards. Additionally, with this massive annihilation of enemy warships. It can be said, this is the most glorious battle in the history of the Seventh Fleet. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the fleet, I thank you for your contributions to the federation.”
Saying this, he saluted Lan Xuanyu again, and Lan Xuanyu hurriedly returned the salute.
Next to him, General Yan Xinghe brought over a tray. There were two boxes on the tray.
General Bai Ling opened the first box, inside was a hexagonal medal, adorned with six red gemstones, and the central piece featured the federation’s badge.
“This is the Federation Hero Medal specially awarded to you for your outstanding contribution. It represents the highest honor of our military. Allow me to place it on you.” As he spoke, he pinned the shiny medal onto Lan Xuanyu’s left chest.
“Apart from you, all the members of your squad have also received merit awards issued by the federation.” Saying this, he opened another box that held a peculiar item.
It was like a button, with a dark silver appearance, somewhat resembling unprocessed Heavy Silver. It was decorated with intricate patterns, and the center held a deep blue crystal, resembling a gemstone.
“This is a Level 8 Sky Fighter badge. It represents the identity of a Sky Fighter. You may carry it anywhere on your person. It has recorded all your identity information, and anywhere in the federation, you can use it to exercise the powers of a Level 8 Sky Fighter.”
As he spoke, General Bai Ling also hung this badge on Lan Xuanyu’s chest. Lan Xuanyu could vaguely feel that this badge, which looked far less dazzling than the hero’s medal, contained spatial fluctuations. A slight probe with his spiritual power let him feel its vast space. This must be the latest soul storage tool developed using the Federation’s space folding technology. It also possesses many other features and is a rare treasure itself.
General Bai Ling smiled and said, “With the merit you have achieved this time, you truly deserve a promotion in military rank. But since you have just been promoted to Major General not long ago, the federation has decided to hold off for a while. Besides, being a Sky Fighter suits you better. I hope you will continue to make greater contributions to the federation.”
“Yes, thank you, Commander,” Lan Xuanyu saluted crisply.
The award ceremony witnessed by all the officers of the Seventh Fleet was undoubtedly the highest form of respect. This represented the importance the federation and the Seventh Fleet placed on him.
However, General Bai Ling did not mention his mission, which was naturally for the sake of confidentiality.
“Xinghe, you should cooperate well with Xuanyu,” General Bai Ling said, looking at Yan Xinghe.
“Yes,” Yan Xinghe saluted sharply.
Lan Xuanyu could clearly feel that the few generals around him who also held the rank of general looked at Yan Xinghe with some envy.
After all, Lan Xuanyu belonged to the Dragon Three Battleship, and the merits he had achieved were certainly shared with the Dragon Three Fleet. How could they not be envious?
“`
“Regarding the application you submitted to the federation, I have already discussed it with the military department. The military department expressed full support. Naturally, they will arrange it for you. You have full freedom in your specific mission. If you need anything, just tell Yan Xinghe. I fully support you from my end.”
“Thank you, Commander.”
The award ceremony didn’t last very long, as most of the attendees were the main officers of various warships who couldn’t stay away for too long.
Lan Xuanyu returned to the Dragon Three Battleship along with Yan Xinghe.
“How do you feel?” Yan Xinghe asked with a smile on the way back.
“Overwhelmed with honor,” Lan Xuanyu also smiled, “How come you arrived here before me?”
Yan Xinghe replied, “To show importance. It was the Commander’s request. The credits you earned this time really brought glory to the Commander. Now, among the Seven Great Federal Fleets, our Seventh Fleet’s glory even surpasses that of the First Fleet.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded. The war that was initiated at the time of the Dragon Source Crystal yielded greater gains than expected, giving the federation an upper hand in the conflict with the Dragon Horse Star System. Although not overly aggressive, the strategic objectives were achieved.
“When do you plan to depart?” asked Yan Xinghe.
Lan Xuanyu replied, “Once all members of the Thirty-Three Skywing team gather, I’ll make the arrangements and then set off. For our mission to Sky Dragon Planet, the seven of us are enough. I’ll leave my teammates under your care. If there are missions needing their involvement or cooperation when we enter Sky Dragon Planet, I will inform you in advance.”
Yan Xinghe nodded, “Don’t worry. I’ve reviewed their files; they performed quite well in the war. Truly worthy graduates from Shrek Academy. Frankly, the Fighting Sky Department is a better fit for you. Just being soldiers is somewhat an underutilization of your talents. After this incident, I feel the military isn’t quite suitable for you, unable to fully leverage your strength.”
“Right. After one year, the seven of us may not return, but the others should probably go back to the academy to further their studies.” Infiltrating Sky Dragon Star wasn’t a short-term mission, and Lan Xuanyu didn’t know how long it would take. However, the other companions could return to the Inner Court. Only by visiting Eternal Sky City could one truly understand how suitable it was for cultivation.
If the concept of plundering life energy for the Eternal Tree could be accomplished, then Eternal Sky City would undoubtedly be more suitable for cultivation.
The Seventh Fleet didn’t make Lan Xuanyu wait too long; in fact, when they returned to the Dragon Three Battleship, his teammates had already arrived.
Yan Xinghe was very efficient; he carved out a special area in the living district centered around where Lan Xuanyu and his team were staying, for the Thirty-Three Skywing’s use. He provided each person with a dedicated room.
The reassembly of the Thirty-Three Skywing was naturally lively. Everyone gathered together, discussing what they had done in the war and what missions they had accomplished.
Only Lan Xuanyu’s group of seven did not disclose their activities. The missions they executed were classified secrets of the federation. It wasn’t greatly beneficial for the rest of their companions to know.
“Clap clap clap”, Lan Xuanyu clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention.
Everyone fell silent, their eyes on Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu said, “This time, we followed the Seventh Fleet on a mission, and I believe everyone gained different insights. Ultimately, our own strength is our future. We seven have also completed some missions and made some special gains. This has granted us the authority to gather everyone together again. For the time being, stay on the Dragon Three Battleship; execute missions if there are any or cultivate. I will provide you with the resources for cultivation shortly.”
At this point, he paused, “Honestly, when we all got accepted into the Inner Court, I felt a sense of responsibility heavier than I could lay down, and I felt I had lived up to everyone. Though I never made promises to anyone before, I genuinely hoped that more of our companions could enter the Inner Court.”
“This period has seen a lot, and you all know. The incident when teacher Nana fell into the Constant Star greatly impacted me. That was when I understood more than ever that only by having great strength can one protect those they wish to protect. That’s why I said earlier, our own strength is indeed our future.”
