"Very well, your intelligence is very important, I have reported it to the top of the defense force through the special line. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI believe that with your military exploits this time, we will soon be colleagues with each other. ”

The lieutenant colonel's words were very polite, and although I pretended to be overwhelmed on the surface, I was actually very proud. Not only to lead the fire brigade to maintain control of the Titanship, but also to defend against the subhumans and obtain information from Brand, my role is extremely crucial, and it is natural to say that I have been promoted because of my military merits.

Cutting off communication with the lieutenant colonel, I stared at the already empty projection platform, this is the taste of victory, very luscious. After birth and death, such praise is a matter of course.

Farouk next to me gave me a thumbs up. I could see that he was sincerely blessing me.

"If it's okay, I'll take my leave."

Without waiting for me to answer, Yukiyo left alone, and I couldn't help but feel a heartache when I looked at her back. The good mood that came from the praise also vanished.

Yushiro's feelings for Wood are much more than I thought. Ever since she returned to the 16th District station, she felt as if she had lost her soul, her eyes lost their luster, and when she spoke to her, her response was also weak, and her whole person became an empty shell.

I wanted a few more words of comfort, but Farouk stopped me.

"Don't mention anything, forgetting is the medicine."

Farouk's words are right, don't mention him at this time, let Xuedai learn to forget, even if it is forced to forget.

Leaving Yukiyo alone in the station, Farouk and I went to the lookout where we could see the abyss.

"The information you've brought is incredible. I don't understand why they had to approach Mars, those Lady Wall were really so important that the subhumans dared to risk breaking the Covenant. ”

Farouk's doubts were normal, he didn't understand what Lady Wall really was, and the subhuman commander of Billand was obviously better able to grasp the essence of the facts than a solar system soldier.

"If you know something else, you can understand what they're doing. It is a pity that the lieutenant colonel has ordered me to keep silent about all information about Mrs. Wall. ”

The veteran nodded in understanding and patted me on the shoulder.

"You're still too young to be so polite about a lot of things. The army is not a polite place in the first place, everything here is based on strength, and now it can be said that even that lieutenant colonel does not dare to underestimate you. There is no way to find someone in the Defence who has the same record as you. ”

I've noticed that Farouk talks a lot today and is more kind to me.

"What? Don't feel comfortable? Does this sycophant work? It's not that I like to raise the bar with the same people.,It's that those guys who are in high positions in peacetime really don't have the elements to win my respect.。 And from you, I really saw the appearance of the soldier I longed for, so this can't be regarded as a complete compliment, but there are a lot of real ingredients in it. ”

Looking out at the abyss, there are dots of artificial light. I have mixed feelings right now.

Smiling noncommittally at Farouk, I cast my gaze back on the abyss.

I think the current situation is similar to the scenery in front of me.

The solar system is like being from where I stand, and I can see the magnificent abyss of war created by the two top forces of human civilization. But he didn't notice that he had been included in this abyss, and he was also a part of the abyss in the eyes of others.

The feeling of a mirror in a mirror is constantly magnifying in my perception, and the abyss in my eyes is constantly becoming deeper and deeper.

Finally I felt that the abnormal feeling consumed most of my energy, and my head began to ache dullly, and I was freed from this somewhat strange state.

"Major, the people above are looking for you."

Farouk didn't know when he left, his voice coming through the headphones, and I knew that the rare leisure time was over.

Rushing to the communications equipment, where the Lieutenant Colonel's hologram had been projected onto the projection table.

"I'm sorry, I know you need a break right now, but the situation has changed and it must be arranged immediately."

The lieutenant colonel completed the transition from the apology to the two contexts of the order in very short words. I noticed that he did not speak to me in the same way as he did with his subordinates, but in the same class of speech.

Maybe it's going to get promoted. The Lieutenant Colonel of the Martian Defense Force used to be enough for me to look up to, but I didn't expect that in less than a year, I would become a lieutenant colonel myself. This feeling of discomfort represents my immaturity.

The information conveyed by the lieutenant colonel was shocking enough that I had to take a deep breath to digest the news he had suddenly given.

The main fleet of the solar system has completed the assembly and is making a high-speed leap towards Mars. In 12 hours at the latest, the main forces of the fleet will reach the orbit of Mars.

For more than a year, the Mars Defense Force and the billions of people on Mars, everyone is looking forward to this soon.

It's a day I've been looking forward to. Hiding in a dilapidated bunker, imagining the sudden arrival of our main fleet, the Proxima Centauri devils who were showing off their might. How many times have I dreamed of such a scene, and when I actually woke up, I was still faced with that mess like sparks, and myself struggling in this mess.

Happiness comes so suddenly that emotions are not ready to accept this sudden surprise.

The lieutenant colonel was very kind and waited for me to return to normal.

"I'm sorry, the main force came too suddenly, I really can't help myself."

"It's okay, I almost cried when I first got the information, your performance is already good."

The lieutenant colonel was expressionless and almost cried, whether he said it was true or not, anyway, I can't imagine his poker face crying.

Then our conversation went into a pragmatic phase.

"It's true that the main fleet is here, but the Devil Titan is a great threat to anyone. After discussions with the mothership fleet, everyone agreed that the Titan should not be allowed to move freely. Although we do not have enough troops to control the entire ship at this stage, we can paralyze its operations. All of the troops in the bow of the ship have begun to retreat, and they will pass through Sector 16 under your control and head to Sector 37, which supports the aft power room. ”

I think with your ability, you should already understand that if the enemy wants to organize us to paralyze this super capital ship, the most feasible way is to occupy Area 16, cut off the mutual support of our troops in the ship, and then send the main force to eat our broadside combat troops divided into two major parts one by one.

"Yes, I understand that Area 16 will be a key part of the battle below. Gains and losses here will be directly related to victory or defeat. ”

"That's right, you are my most trusted subordinate, and you are also the one with both experience and strength, I now order you, defend District 16 to the death, and don't let go of an enemy. It doesn't matter if it's a devil or a subhuman. If you feel in doubt, you will not be allowed to pass through the area. ”

Feeling the strength of the lieutenant colonel's order, my spirit suddenly tensed. The pressure of victory and defeat of the whole army, and the trust of the old commander in me, lifted my spirits.

"In the battle with the Asians, the casualties in Area 16 were very large, and the fire brigade also lost more than half ......"

"Don't worry, I won't let you command the bare, there are not many reinforcements, about a company. Firepower, ammunition, and personnel are all ready, and it's up to you to command. ”

"Yes!"

I don't have anything else to say but to express my feelings with a powerful answer.
