Chapter 65: Always Be Ready
Charcoal-grilled earth baggars are a specialty of the new Yumen and must be tasted.
Uh, well, it's only a few years old. The early settlers found that gerbils dug out of the endless sea of sand here were large and fat, and they could be eaten with their heads removed, and it was said that the protein was more than six times that of beef. It's great for stewing, but it's even better if it's charcoal-grilled with spices.
Yu Lian and Senior Sister liked this taste very much, and the two of them feasted happily, and quickly killed most of them.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the senior sister elegantly twisted a slender lady's cigarette with two fingers, and shook half a glass of beer with one hand, and there was a little more laziness in a pair of phoenix eyes.
She was wearing a casual dress today, a slim-fitting breeches shirt and a denim jacket, but she no longer had to pose like a senior officer. In other words, this is her usual posture.
"That's for you to practice. I have also prepared the internship certificate issued by the garrison command for you, needless to say, it is naturally A+. ”
"Thank you so much." Yu Lian raised his glass and saluted.
"You deserve it, and I can still get down to business while I haven't gotten out yet." The senior sister said: "But ah, Yuli, even if there is an A+ opened by me and the Governor's Mansion, it is only equivalent to the grades of two major courses, and your GPA is only less than 3.5 when you count it." This is only an average to upper grade! But you did that thing again, the so-called special merit bonus points are yellow nine times out of ten, and it is impossible to get the tiger talisman! ”
"I didn't even think about getting a tiger talisman!" Especially competing with the monsters of the legendary 830 Party, not to mention that he should be on the school's blacklist.
The so-called tiger charm is actually an antique revolver pistol made by Seiko. The handle of the gun is made of ivory, and then the tiger-shaped coat of arms is tattooed on the silver-white body of the gun with gold, which is beautiful but domineering and exposed, and it is called the "tiger charm". This object is only awarded to the top 5 graduates of the Central Defense University, which is naturally a great honor.
"Wait? How do you know my average score? ”
"Heh~~~ What do you say?"
“…… Oh, and I forgot that the headmaster was your father's chief of staff. ”
"Oh, my old stubborn dad and the perverted brother have all said that only the Tiger Talisman Group will accept it."
"What's accepting? What do you accept? Yu Lianmeng said that he didn't understand it at all.
"Nothing. I don't want to offend Fina right now. The senior sister turned her head with a smile, left the perfect side face to Yu Lian, and said, "By the way, you know, right?" I'm the commander of the garrison, and I've been working for a long time. ”
"Well, a governor wouldn't let someone like you stay in office. Of course, the commander of the garrison is just a transition for you anyway, and there are better positions waiting for you, right? ”
"There are two directions. Transferred back to the homeland to the Eastern Cantilever Fleet Command as an operational staff officer, or rather as the captain of a cruiser; Or, stay in the Andromeda Town Mansion and command a small garrison fleet. ”
"Of course, I want to stay in the town guard's mansion." Yu Lian is categorical.
“…… Your answer is too quick, isn't it? ”
"If I answered the former, you wouldn't accept it, would you? Moreover, the Eastern Cantilever Fleet is probably the most ferra of the Community's main fleet. When I came to the General Staff, my main focus was probably to deal with office politics. Most of the warships over there are more than 30 years old, and the so-called cruisers have a high probability of not being able to outrun the pirate ships, and you will most likely be with your temper. ”
"I won't be angry, but Lieutenant General Harris will most likely be angry."
"In short, if you are really transferred to the East Cantilever Fleet, that is, you will be promoted in a mess, which is too inconsistent with your personality. Here, a garrison fleet is about 2 or 3 assault ships with a destroyer, and the strength is meager, but after all, it is an armed force under your independent command. Yu Lian paused, and smiled a little more: "Moreover, this is the Andromeda Galaxy, the New World, the native whip is beyond reach, and the town guard mansion and the governor's mansion are particularly informal. So, it's easier for you to do something that isn't formal...... For example, if you don't have enough combat power, you can buy a few Rangers from the Alliance Fuxun Shipyard in the name of training. ”
"Huh? Fu Xun, isn't that the construction of high-end cruise ships and cargo ships? ”
"Yes, the Ranger is a high-speed cruise ship. However, that's just a face-to-face address. In fact, it's a special design that is extremely versatile. The body of the ship is average, but there are a lot of pendants, and a lot of space is reserved for refitting. As long as there was a way to get weapons, armor, shields, and various communication and detection equipment, it was too easy to convert into a cruiser. Oh, and she only completed the tests in the first half of this year, and the alliance military still has a lot of doubts about its performance. Fuxun Shipyard is guarding the new ship and waiting for the list, and the order at this time will definitely be discounted. What's more, she is a mail ship and does not violate the Andromeda System Naval Limitation Treaty. ”
Eleanor restrained her smile, pressed the thin cigarette on her plate, and said in a deep voice, "Yuli, where did you get this information?" ”
"If I say, I happened to see the materials and advertisements for this new ship on Times Ships last month. Can you believe it? ”
"Yuli, I'm not Fina, I believe everything you say unconditionally."
“…… Uh, well, I can't say it now, so you can also think of me as a joke, or as a guide from the spirit of the universe to me, depending on whether the senior sister trusts me or not. ”
"Psykers are all mentally ill with the chattering of gods, so didn't we say yes before, we were going to beat up those stupid idealist gods? As a result, I didn't expect little Yuli, but you were the first to rebel with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The senior sister pouted.
"Probably the spirit of the universe admires me very much. I now understand that the three views and the spiritual energy are actually two different things. ”
"You traitor!" Eleanor snorted, and then said, "So, you actually want me to stay here and strengthen the community's garrison in the New World, right?" ”
It's easy to talk to smart people.
Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Senior sister, didn't you tell me?" War is possible, not sure when, but it will be. So we need to be more prepared. ”
“…… Yes, the bugs in your report can at least prove that someone is behind it. The history of the galaxy has indeed taught me that if someone is doing something, it will definitely bring war. Oh, but the future of the community does not depend on the old guys of the earth, but on us young people! This is also the consensus reached in the school back then. ”
Yu Lian is very curious, what kind of role is his own body in school? This kind of typical person is crazy, and he is a member of the famous 830 world, there is no reason why his reputation is not obvious in the future!
Sure enough, it's too early to die?
"Yuri, I'll find a way to strengthen the combat power of the town guard mansion. And before I leave, I'll dig this planet three feet into the ground! There are so many big bugs, I don't believe it, I can't even leave a clue! Eleanor said viciously.
Yu Lian didn't feel very optimistic, but he still sincerely wished the senior sister good luck.
Neither of them discussed where the money needed to bolster their combat power would come from. Yu Lian knew that Senior Sister must have a way, after all, this is the New World. Of course, he was also ready to find an opportunity to tell Eleanor some ways to "get rich" without suspicion.
Of course, it doesn't matter if she is suspicious. Anyway, in addition to being a little crazy, this sister is trustworthy in all aspects.

The war had only ended for more than a week, and in addition to the corpses and blade wastes that could still be "unearthed", the entire New Jade Gate seemed to have returned to its former peace again. Humans continue to work on plantations and mines, whipping the sandfolk laborers. The sandfolk dare not speak out, but they are always willing to kill one or two lone human immigrants in the dead of night, when the moon is dark and the wind is high. However, there are always earthlings who have lost everything in the galaxy itself and flock to this planet, which is mostly sand and rocks, hoping to find a way to survive and generally continue to maintain the balance of the planet.
Turon Harbor is once again busy with its former hustle and bustle, and the leaders of the Sandfolks who have fled back to their respective territories are licking their wounds and shivering. In the vast Tulong Sand Sea, there was no trace for a long time.
The hustle and bustle and loneliness once again form an opposing and harmonious rhythm on this planet.
Beneath a rock far from Tulon, two men whispered in the blazing wind.
"As everyday, as numb, as seren...... Annoying serenity. Oops, it's really unthinkable, the only person on this planet who has a little bit of interest, can't escape this time. Didn't Miss Fortune Teller say that Kaz was destined to make a name for himself. Her predictions weren't always right!
"She was never right every time, and we never acted on her prophecies. Besides, whether the natives of this planet can take their homeland or whether the rule of the earthlings can continue is not of much concern to us. In comparison, is the combat power of the swarm as expected? ”
"It was a little bit better than we could have imagined. Fearless of death, the execution is better than all the most elite troops in history, of course, the combat power of individual insects is still a little weak, and the types are relatively rare, so they can continue to be adjusted. It's just that the lord worms, who are the commanders of the grassroots, are inflexible. What about our little queen? ”
"Still on the pursuit. ' Maze and Hunter have already led the team themselves, and they will be able to bring her back soon. ”
"Hopefully. She is the future, the treasure of His Highness! ”
"Will find it, will definitely find it. However, there is something unusual about the two awakened newcomers. ”
"It's two very energetic newcomers, and we've lost a lot of individuals, but we've also collected a lot of information. For the rest, it remains to be observed. ”
Their words are full of gloomy scheming and condescending banter, the future of Tulon, the rule of the community, and the fate of the sandfolk like ants biting on the stage.
All the time, it has always been.
"Okay, I'll go first, you know how." One of them stood up and swaggered into the sandstorm that obscured the sky, and was never seen again.
The other sighed and walked to the cave behind him.
The inside of the cave, which can barely accommodate one person in and out, is a huge underground space. The insect colonies are densely distributed on the ground and mountain walls, and at first glance there are at least a million of them, like huge termite nests.
Ordinary people will probably be so frightened that their soul is exhausted just by witnessing this scene.
They lie dormant in the shadows of the earth, barely moving, and can hardly even be considered animals if it weren't for the occasional twitching tentacles.
A swarm of millions of insects can't even make the same sound as a swarm of a slab rat eating the roots of a tree.
"Poor mes, my little darlings......" he sighed again, very painful, as if he had thrown his own meal into the trash. But that's about it.
He waved his hand.
The pale blue flames ignited from nowhere, like beasts with teeth and claws, devouring large swarms of insects. The flaming beast seemed to have swallowed countless accelerants, and it became even more crazy and violent. However, what is surprising is that in such heat, the cave walls should appear and behave abnormally, but now they are unchanged, as if they are in the background of a texture from another dimension.
In just one minute, the blue flames brought the entire underground space into its wreaking range, and then continued to burn for another ten minutes before slowly dissipating.
The cave is still the same cave, but the millions of insects inside have long been completely burned, and not even a single cell remains.
And the arsonist naturally disappeared with the dissipation of the flames, and he could not leave a trace of clouds.
