Chapter 227: 120 Super Large Anti-Ship Planet Cannons! [More and More]_4 Chapter 227: 120 Super Large Anti-Ship Planet Cannons! [More and More]_4 “Not necessarily,” Lyu chuckled softly.

“Encrypt this place, no one but you and me should enter.”

“Okay, boss, it actually takes half an hour to charge. That’s way too slow; technology from centuries ago is really outdated.”

“Already complaining? You really know how to discard the old for the new.”

After that beam of light flashed, a heavy rain poured down on Ilando City.

…

Twenty Galaxy hours later.

The military tribunal at the spaceport on the outskirts of Ilando Star.

Inside the solemn and serious courtroom, three senior officers with stern expressions were conducting the inquiry.

“Major Yang Ming, do you deny the unauthorized attack on the enemy ship and not following the command orders?”

“No, I do not deny it.”

Yang Ming stood with his hands clasped behind his back on the floating platform.

The necessary procedures still needed to be followed to maintain order within the military.

“Major Yang Ming, how do you assess this conflict with the New Federation Fleet?”

“This was a war in defense of the nation, an act of righteous defense,” Yang Ming said quietly, “I accept any decision of the tribunal.”

The three senior officers began to deliberate formally.

Soon, they ordered everyone to rise and began to read Yang Ming’s self-written verdict.

Stripped of the qualification to become captain within five years–allowed to serve as acting captain or nominal second-in-command.

No promotion in rank for three years–Yang Ming thought “Major” sounded quite nice.

A fine of three million Wind Coins–just a drizzle.

Six months in the military prison on Ilando Star–he needed a legitimate chance to disappear.

Yang Ming received the verdict, nodded to the three old officers, then turned and walked out the rear door, with two soldiers acting as temporary military police trailing behind with guns.

No shackles, no escort, maintain respect.

This was specially instructed by General Gudun Mah.

The large doors of the tribunal opened, revealing a long corridor filled with figures in military uniforms.

Yang Ming looked straight ahead and stepped forward.

Two young officers from the Emig stepped forward, following behind Yang Ming.

Several middle-aged officers from the Fourth Fleet lowered their heads forward, following behind Yang Ming.

Behind Yang Ming’s military boots, more and more of the same style black boots appeared; the footsteps became denser, increasingly uniform and determined.

When Yang Ming exited the building housing the tribunal, he involuntarily paused.

“Salute–”
Ahead, several dozen rows of standing fleet officers simultaneously swung their arms, fists pounding heavily on their chests.

Yang Ming spread his legs, returning the salute.

A certain lieutenant commander shouted: “Please! Captain Yang Ming delivers the address!”

Yang Ming pondered briefly.

Was this arranged by General Gudun Mah? Why was he not informed beforehand? Without a prepared speech, he wasn’t one for formal words.

“We are soldiers, soldiers do not fear war.”

Yang Ming spoke calmly:
“When I serve my sentence, when the enemy fleet appears again, I hope you can face them, puff your chests, and say to them,
‘Here is Wind.’
Enthusiastic applause erupted from all directions.

Atop the building of the tribunal, General Gudun Mah frowned as he observed the scene below, still with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

‘Was this also part of Mr. Ming’s plan? The younger officers in the military unexpectedly united around him spontaneously, while the other generals who hadn’t participated in the battle were already becoming restless.’
However…

General Gudun Mah looked at the battle damage report before him, rubbing his forehead wearily.

The losses were tremendous.
