48. March
On the top floor of the Kamilia Military Commission Building, the Grand Prince Xiu of the New Galactic Empire, who was holding a copy of the document in his hand, rang the doorbell of a meeting room.
It looks like an ordinary wooden door, but in fact it is a door made of pure steel that slides smoothly. Xiu Mai walked in with his slender legs, he walked very fast, but if he was careful, he could still see that it was obviously not as natural as his left leg when he stepped out of his right leg.
The door behind him slammed shut, and Xiumu walked through the living room without squinting and entered a private office.
There were already two people in the office.
Xiu saluted the two people in the room with a standard military salute, and then took the Wen Jiàn clip in his hand to King Charles, who was sitting at the head of the sofa.
"Paper is always best destroyed." General Manfred, who looked like a kind old man, smiled and picked up the coffee cup in front of him.
After reading the text roughly, King Charles looked up and asked, "What other information do you have?" ”
"General Langton recently reused a Psychic called Mass, whose identity is suspicious. According to preliminary judgment, it is very likely that he is a person from another dimension. ”
"The Invisible Man." General Manfred put down his coffee cup, leaned back on the sofa cushion relaxedly, and said slowly, "Fighting the tiger, that kid Langdon's ambition is really not small. ”
King Charles agreed: "The Brent family has never been less ambitious. He frowned, his tone becoming heavy. If the Invisible Ones were really prepared to assist the Brent family, the war might have come sooner. ”
"The seeds of this war have been planted since the beginning of the Empire, and it is only a matter of time before it comes." General Manfred lamented, "It's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to defend the world, and I've felt it deeply over the years." ”
King Charles smiled bitterly.
The planets of the New Galactic Empire are tens of thousands, not to mention, and the population is even more innumerable. For such a large empire, the range that the main star of the political/political center of Kamilia can radiate is very limited. There are planets on the edge of the empire that are even in a state of governmentlessness.
What's more, it has only been more than 300 years since Arthur the Great seized power from the former Golden Lion of the Galactic Empire, the Tanley Ryan Dynasty, and the empire itself is not solid.
His father, Arthur the Great, had left the empire to him, and in order to maintain the peace of the empire, at least on the surface, he had worked hard to get to where he is today.
However, the Brent family, which has been powerful since the old dynasty, is like a bomb, which has been buried in the empire for too long, and is now in a state of being ready to detonate at any time. Over the past few decades, Langton, the new head of the Brent family, has made no secret of his ambitions, privately soliciting and bribing the leaders of various planets, and the target is even more direct to Kamilia.
King Charles pressed his temples with a headache, and he wanted to throw all this mess at his son. However, his most optimistic cultivation has been very unstable in these years, and he is not suitable for sitting in this position at all. The second son, Heather, is absolutely impossible to inherit the throne. As for the youngest son, his youngest son, who was spoiled by his mother and grandfather, didn't know anything about politics at all!
"Father, I have one more thing to report to you."
Xiu did not use the title of "majesty" but "father", and Charles understood that the next thing he was going to report was a family matter.
"It doesn't hurt to be straight."
"Heather had a private meeting with General Lanton."
Hearing the name of his beloved second son, King Charles's eyes sank, and he turned to smile and said: "Xiu, you have worked hard to come back from this mission, go back first, your mother misses you very much." ”
"Yes."
After Xiu left, General Manfred said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I told you six years ago that raising 'lions' is a problem. ”
"He didn't inherit the lion's orc genes, and his surname was Pendragon instead of Thanlirian." King Charles muttered, "But I will send someone to investigate this matter, and if Heather really chooses to rebel, I will definitely be the first to kill him." ”
……
The semester is about to end, but the school suddenly issued a notice that the first-year mecha department, the mecha manufacturing department, and the beast tamer department will go to the D11 planet of the letter D system together for a field march.
After the notice was issued, the list of teams came down quickly, because there were relatively few students in the animal taming department, so there was only one student in each team from the animal taming department. Ludwig, who was appointed as the leader of the group, used his brain to receive the list and found that there was no Shen Ling in the list of his group, so he immediately went to the department teacher to revise the list and replaced Caitlin in their group with Shen Ling.
The time for departure was very fast, because this time it was a spaceship specially prepared by the school with a faster-than-light device, and it only took 9 hours to reach the planet D11 from the University of Saint-Cyr. Therefore, the spaceship is not large, and the seats inside are cascade type, and there is a table in the middle, and a total of four people can sit on both sides of the table.
Shen Ling sat inside by the window, next to him was Ludwig, and opposite Ludwig was Jin Hang. Opposite Shen Ling is Ludwig's partner mechanic Hicks.
The general situation of the Shura field.
This was Jin Hang's first thought after taking his seat, but when he found out that because Shen Ling was sitting here, Ludwig didn't raise his eyes to look at Hicks at all, he knew that he was too worried.
If a tenacious idiot talks about falling in love, he will become a loving dog, and what he has to do every day is to show affection and blind the dog eyes of the people next to him by the way. Not only has the IQ decreased dramatically, but the eyes are also selectively blind, except for the person they like, others are in their eyes that is in the form of a turnip.
After Jin Hang understood this, he didn't bother to pay attention to these two people, and took out his brain to play the game by himself.
"The guy across from you doesn't look at you very well." The bored phoenix said.
Shen Ling, who took the time to check and sort out the information of the alien beasts on the D11 planet, raised his head just in time to see Hicks being found peeking and bowing his head in a panic, pretending to be reading a book with his brain.
"He's taken you for a rival." "He absolutely hates you now, and if it weren't for you, maybe he would have been Ludwig's little lover."
Shen Ling took a closer look, Hicks's appearance was indeed outstanding, especially a pair of peach blossom eyes. If it weren't for the influence of his physique, maybe Ludwig would indeed choose Hicks, after all, one of them is a mecha pilot and the other is a mechanic, and their usual training often has to be carried out together, and it is not impossible to fall in love with each other for a long time.
"Would you like dessert?" In order to divert his attention, Shen Ling, who was a little weak-hearted, took out the divided cheesecake, flower cake and handmade biscuits from his backpack and put them on the table. This march is not allowed to carry any personal belongings except for the items issued by the school, and the space storage device is of course not allowed to be carried, so Shen Ling's backpack contains the desserts he prepared for Ludwig on the spaceship.
"If you have dessert to eat, then you're welcome!" Jin Hang quickly snatched the cake, which looked the most delicious, and was finely carved into the shape of a rose, opened the plastic packaging and took a bite.
"Hey, this is all prepared for me by Shen Ling!" Ludwig hurried to protect his food, Jin Hang, this bastard can eat better than him.
Seeing Shen Ling take out the dessert, Hicks's face immediately sank, he was Ludwig's partner, of course he knew that Ludwig was fond of sweetness, so he also prepared desserts, and he specially went to the famous wood pine cake shop to buy them.
But the cakes he bought didn't look as beautiful as the ones Shen Ling took out, if he took them out now, he would definitely be compared to Shen Ling's cakes, so it was better not to take them out.
A hint of coldness flashed in Hicks' eyes, and he picked up a cake casually and took a bite, and was surprised to find that the cake was very beautiful in shape and tasted quite good.
"This cake is so delicious, delicious and beautiful, where did you buy it?" After eating a cake, Jin Hang, who was not enough, picked up another one.
"It's my family, Shen Ling, who made it himself." Ludwig proudly boasted, "He's best at making desserts, but my favorite thing is chocolate." ”
Shen Ling pursed his lips and smiled, took out the special chocolate given to him by his mother-in-law from his backpack and put it on Ludwig's hand, and said with a pampered face: "It's for you." ”
Ludwig was so moved that he almost wanted to hug his little dessert and kiss it like this.
Jin Hang, who couldn't stand it, hooked his index finger and tapped on the table to warn: "Hey, it is illegal to show affection in public in the empire. ”
Ludwig ignored him, opened the chocolate box and took out one and sent it to Shen Ling's mouth, being watched flirting/flirting, which made Shen Ling very embarrassed, but he still obediently opened his mouth and bit the chocolate into his mouth.
"My dog's eyes!" Jin Hang screamed and covered his eyes.
At the same time, Phoenix also complained in Shen Ling's mind, "These two people are going to disgust me to death!"
"Haven't you gotten used to it?" Ash said coldly.
"Sooner or later, I'll die of vomiting too much!" The phoenix wailed, "This way of dying is too low-grade."
Shen Ling's face turned red when he was told by the phoenix, and he quickly pulled the long-winded phoenix into the small black room.
Hicks, who was staring at the two of them, clenched his fists in anger, his white nails digging deep into the flesh of his palms, and the hatred in his eyes became more and more profound.
What is this person better than himself?
Looks? Family? Ability?
In terms of appearance, he has never been unconfident in his appearance. In terms of family background, he is not only a nobleman of Hera, because his mother and Queen Gohera are best friends, he has known Ludwig since he was a child, and he also knows the secrets that Ludwig did not know when he was a child. In terms of ability, he is the first place in the mecha manufacturing department, and Ludwig is still his partner, no matter how you look at it, the two of them should be a perfect match.
Where is he inferior to this inferior student of the beast trainer department who has been useless from beginning to end?
It must have been some vicious method he used to confuse His Highness, he remembered that the students of the Beast Tamer Department seemed to be able to awaken their soul power, and their soul power could also control other people's minds in a certain way.
Mean guys! Hicks thought viciously, he must expose this man's true face in front of His Highness!
……
After the spacecraft arrived at the planet D11, the leading teacher used instruments at the door of the spacecraft to check what the students were carrying, and gave each of them a marching backpack.
After getting off the ship, Ludwig, as the captain, hurriedly gathered the personnel of his team. There were twenty-three members in their squad, including thirteen students from the mecha department, nine students from the mecha manufacturing department, plus Shen Ling's animal trainer department.
Shen Ling stood in the team, and he found that in addition to the students of their Saint-Cyr Comprehensive University, there were also students from other schools who had also participated in the march. Moreover, compared to the situation where they made a commotion as soon as they got off the spaceship, the students of the other school were obviously more well-trained, and they immediately stood in an orderly queue after getting off the spaceship.
The teacher who led the team gathered the students and gave them the main task this time.
This time it's not just about completing the mission, it's about a competition between the teams.
The content of the competition is to collect the light balls placed by the school in advance within the range of this march, and the information of the first person who touches the light ball will be recorded into the light ball, so the students must collect it themselves, and it makes no sense to snatch the collection results of others at the end of the collection.
In addition to collecting light balls, the teachers also specially prepared a bonus question. Place a long-eared rat carrying an information transceiver within the marching range, and the team that catches the long-eared rat will receive an equivalent bonus of ten orbs of light.
This time, the results of the march will be recorded in the student's file, and if you can get good results, it will also be a very glorious record in the future employment.
After learning about the content of the mission, the students, who had never been to the legendary Alien Planet, were excited and eager to start the competition.
"In addition to our Saint-Cyr Comprehensive University, this time the Imperial Academy also has a team participating in the march together, and now I will introduce to you the leader of the Imperial Academy this time - Heather Pendragon, the fourth-year student chief of the Imperial Academy, and his mechanic partner Neil Joyt."
As he spoke, two handsome men walked out of the queue next door.
