The next day, according to the time announced on the watch, Soap first went to the military center in Avalon to verify his identity, and then took the corresponding shuttle to the Martian military starport.

Here, he would join up with some of the rest of the conscripts and be sent to a military training center on Saturn for a month of acclimatization, even though he and many of the conscripts were once the best soldiers on Earth. But the times are different, no matter how good they were in the past, it was also a matter on Earth, and they could only truly become a Star Alliance soldier after a month of adaptive military training.

After passing through several security checks and asking for directions, Soap found a dedicated waiting room in Starport, a complex Starport with a psionic suppression system.

After re-verifying his identity through the guard robot at the door, he finally entered the waiting room.

The space in the waiting room is very spacious, scattered with dozens of small round tables with four seats, and at this time in the waiting room, there are already more than a dozen people sitting in twos and threes, and he swept his eyes and found a few familiar faces.

"Soap? Is that you? The sound of the automatic electronic doors opening in the waiting room also attracted the attention of some people, and after seeing the soapy face, even when someone greeted him for the way.

Soap looked at it, a small smile on his face, and walked over to the small table where three people were sitting.

"Royce, Zero, long time no see." As he approached, Soap greeted two of his acquaintances, both of whom were his former comrades-in-arms and one of the few survivors of the first generation of Special Operations Team 141, Royce was Canadian and Zero was German.

"Oh my God, it's really you, we all thought you were dead!" Royce and Zero hugged Soap heavily, then exclaimed.

"Fluke, fluke!" Soap smiled.

"I'm sorry to bother you to catch up, but I'm still curious to ask, why are you called soap? Do you like to pick up soap? Just then, the last person sitting at this table suddenly spoke.

Hearing the other party's words, the smile on Soap's face couldn't help but stiffen, "Do you think this joke is funny?" ”

"Shut up, Wade!" Zero on the side immediately drank "Soap, don't be like him, this thing is cheap." ”

"Hey, soap, tell us what happened that day? And do you know how Price, how they came to be Overwatch? Royce on the side also immediately played a round to change the topic.

The soldier named Wade shrugged when he saw this, and then watched the three of them reminisce about the old ...... It's so uncomfortable to only watch people talk and not be able to insert their mouths. Fortunately, the facilities and services in the waiting room are very complete, and there are service robots that can provide drinks and snacks at any time...... Alcohol is allowed in the Covenant army, because the regular soldiers of the Covenant have been genetically strengthened, and their tolerance to alcohol has been greatly enhanced, as long as they are not deliberately heavy drinking, it is generally very difficult to get drunk, so ordinary alcohol is not much different from ordinary drinks for Covenant soldiers.

Then there were several groups of people scattered in the waiting room, many of whom he knew Soap, and many of whom he did not know but had heard of the name. If he remembers correctly, many of these people should be in their fifties and sixties, but they all have something in common, that is, basically within certain ranges, they are all living legends...... Well, he himself too.

Although they came from different countries and different regions on the earth in the past, they were all military personnel, and there were naturally many common topics, so soon, the atmosphere in the waiting room also became warm.

"Ready!" Time passed quickly, and just as it was time to board the ship, a major officer wearing the official uniform of the Covenant walked in and ordered in a loud voice.

Although there were already more than 100 people in the waiting room, most of them were rebellious people who had been out of the army for a long time, they still instinctively got up and stood by when they heard the order.

"Stand upright!" The major officer gave the order again, and took the lead in preparing the posture for review.

When everyone in the waiting room saw this, they immediately understood that a big man was coming, and immediately set up a military posture without hesitation...... Although whether it was in the past or now, these veterans actually have no sense of awe for many so-called "big shots", but experience makes them not casually show these disdains directly, otherwise it is very troublesome to be remembered by these "big shots", although they are not afraid of trouble, but it does not mean that they like to find trouble.

Within seconds of them standing in a military stance, a beautiful woman with a sturdy figure and a spirited old man walked in one after the other.

Everyone in the waiting room saw that they were really big shots, although they were not yet a member of the Star Alliance military, but they still had an understanding of the Star Alliance military system, basically except for a few top-level figures, the lieutenant generals in the Star Alliance had basically reached the top.

The beautiful female soldier in front of them was undoubtedly their immediate boss, Lieutenant General Maria Hill, as shown in the materials they had seen before.

It can be said that because of the background of the grassroots soldiers in the United States, who have gone through the US Department of Defense, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the current Star Alliance Military Strategic Intelligence Department, among many people present, Maria's name is still very loud, but they only hear her name, and they don't see her.

So most people still think it's amazing.

Well, marvel at Maria Hill's delicate countenance, marvel at those long, straight legs, marvel at the convex and curvy ...... Hey, what can a group of veterans from the grassroots expect them to have in awe of a girl? It's nice not to whistle on the spot.

As for following Hill, Price, who is quite familiar to many people, was directly ignored by them, what is so good about an old man.

"Huh~" Well, in the face of the squinting gaze of a group of veterans, Hill was just thinking that it was fortunate that no one whistled, but the whistle sounded.

Step ~ Step ~ Step ~ Step , in a few steps, Hill walked in front of the whistleblower, "Wade Winston Wilson?" ”

"Yes, General!" Wade replied in a loud voice.

"Very good, I remember you!" Hill said with a smile that made Wade's heart tremble, and then before he could react, there was a huge force in his chest, and then he felt himself flying, and finally with a heavy blow, the whole person lost consciousness.

In the eyes of others, they saw Wade instantly leap a distance of more than ten meters and hit the wall of the waiting room directly, but among them, except for the excessive strength of soap, few people basically saw how Hill made a move...... Although they were all once the elite of all countries on the earth, only some of them have been genetically modified, and they are all inferior versions of super soldier potions configured in early countries, which are not at the same level as the current functional safety and comprehensive gene drugs, although they can increase a lot of combat effectiveness, but there are basically sequelae, and many of them can survive until now It is a miracle, in the face of Hill, a big guy who can use top gene drugs for a long time (strength enhancement is only once, but long-term use can maintain peak state), Most people's strength is simply not enough, let alone Wade's unfortified.

But no one will stand up for Wade, most of them are people under the roof, and those who have been in contact with Wade like Soap feel that this thing has a bad mouth and should be beaten, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, it wouldn't be Hill's turn to do it.

"Find a medical officer, and I'll send it to the spaceship later, I'm sure I won't die, but it will hurt!" Ciel raised an eyebrow, then looked at the rest of the people, "I know that all of you here used to be the elite of the elite, and they were all legends of the old era, but that is all in the past!" In the vast starry sky, no one knows how much your strength will be able to exert itself, and for various reasons, under normal circumstances, you are not within the scope of recruitment of the Star Alliance fleet at all, so you cannot enjoy the treatment of citizens, and you have no chance to get genetic enhancement...... I'm sure most of you are here for this, especially those who suffer from inferior genetic drugs. ”

With Wade's experience, everyone listened quietly with serious faces, and there was no sound except for Hill's speech.

"Now, the Star Covenant fleet has given you a chance, but it is not without a price, because the troops you will join, if there are no accidents, will be the most dangerous and casualty troops, and the tasks they perform are also the most difficult, almost impossible tasks, to put it mildly, this is a death squad...... So are you going to be afraid? Maria Hill sneered.

"That's what we've been doing all along, General!" Soap replied.

"Very good...... But rest assured, although you will carry out the most dangerous mission, it does not mean that the Covenant will send you to the death fearlessly, you will receive the best equipment and enjoy the best treatment from the Covenant...... And you are not the big soldiers, but will be trained as a front-line commander, in fact, if you want to enter the task force, you have to apply, so this is a danger, but also an opportunity, I hope you take advantage of it! Maria Hill's face softened slightly, "Now board the ship, you will be sent to Saturn for a month of adaptive training, during this month, you must be familiar with all the active equipment of the Star Alliance, understand the knowledge of extraterrestrial warfare, after passing the qualification, you will get the treatment that matches your rank, and those who are not qualified will go back and forth." See you at the front in a month! ”

With that, Hill left the departure room without looking back, but Price didn't.

"Okay, there are some things General Hill has said, I won't go into details, in the next period of time, I will be everyone's direct commander, now everyone will follow me on board!"

……………………………………………………………………

"Hill is really good at picking people, two generations of 141, Guardians, GIJOE and mercenaries like the Death Squad, Tianlong Secret Service, etc., there are actually World War II veterans? Good fellow, this old man is in his nineties, and Hill turned him out of a mess. Heading to the luxurious first-class cabin of the Nova Empire's Mission, the Enterprise, Chris looked at the list of task force recruits from Maria Hill with a speechless expression.

Slightly different from what he expected, he originally thought that all the recruits of Maria Hill should be the best officers in the old military...... The result is excellent, but the age group is a bit exaggerated, right?

"I can understand that you are disgusted with my age? I'm a World War II veteran. As soon as Chris finished speaking, Peggy Carter, who had just walked up from the indoor pool and didn't even have a bathrobe, said with some displeasure.

"Ahem, General Carter, hurry up and get ready, we'll be at the predetermined location soon." Seeing this, Chris hurriedly changed the subject.

Although they are on their way to the Nova Empire at this time, Chris's purpose on this trip is not just to visit, but also to find the Death Star.

That's right, the Death Star that Kratos mentioned earlier is in a barren galaxy on the way to the Nova Empire, not far from the solar system. This is normal, after all, the sphere of influence of Titan Star was not large back then, and if it was far away, it would not be able to detect it at all.

One Earth hour later, one of the First Class battleships in the Mission's convoy broke away from the fleet and turned towards a dark uninhabited galaxy.
