Chapter 488: Banquet and Controversy (I)

There is Murphy's Law in the world, and the simple meaning is that the more you don't want something to happen, the more it comes.

So even if Lin Hai didn't want the moonlit night to pass quickly, the stellar sun would rise early. But every day the stars are sinking, and the swearing-in banquet of the Imperial Royal Young Knights and the mission military exercise also comes at such a festival.

The shuttle appeared from the high-speed railroad tracks in the distance, and on the side of the fast reaction team, a group of quasi-non-commissioned officers and instructors looked at Gu Xiaobei, Lin Hai and others in brand-new military uniforms with novelty.

The swearing-in banquet is held in the Knights' Chant Ballroom, which is 3,400 kilometers away from the capital city.

Before coming to the Capital Star, it would have been hard for him to imagine that someone had told Lin Hai that he would travel from one region to another within the Order in the future, and that he would have to sail across the Milan Star equivalent to an inter-provincial route.

But what is in front of you is the truth, the shuttle travels 3,400 kilometers to get from the area of the Order to the area of the neighboring city.

However, in the shuttle, this is not too far away.

Gu Xiaobei and a few people got on the car, and after waving goodbye to everyone in the fast reaction team, the shuttle began to move along the fast track.

Weave through primeval forests, weave over long rivers and high cliffs, leave behind the plains and running wildlife areas, and weave through the sea that is sprinkled with thousands of sparkling gold coins.

From time to time, the same long line could be seen reflecting off the sea level on the opposite side, and it was another train moving in unison.

Lin Hai thought of what Jiang Zhi said about the ancient underground ruins of the Knights, and they also existed, because in the vast territory of the Knights, there were still many unexplored primitive landforms, and no one knew what was in these primordial landforms, let alone underground.

After more than an hour of navigation. Lin Hai looked out the window, Rao was prepared, and his pupils were still open like that.

It was a building several times taller than the pyramidal cardinal.

Shaped like a spindle, standing on the horizon, countless high-speed railroad tracks in the sky, from different directions and different heights, are really like spindle yarns, intricately connecting the giant building. The buildings are so large that even geese can only walk around their waists.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

High-speed shuttles appeared from all directions, and above the sky, it was like waves of ancient arrows, and the metal shell of the train reflected the light, forming a shower of fireflies, falling towards the building.

It's like a fighter on a space carrier entering the parent body.

******

The shuttle slid into the building and stopped at the stand, the metal doors opened to both sides, and there were already a lot of ceremonial men in military uniforms standing on the external platform, welcoming the guests who kept coming, full of festive atmosphere.

"Hello Sergeant Major, 3rd Class!" "The people from the Department of Energy have arrived!" "Hey, you've just arrived, Director Faith is inside and wants to see you!" Zhang Xian...... Ha Lu Ha, long time no see! We won't bump into Mission Action, then we'll be too lucky! ”……

In the midst of such a wave of sound all around.

Second Sergeant Major Gu Xiaobei ...... Please go this way. A man in military uniform in front of their shuttle, after a salute, gave a salute and directed the way into the guest hall.

Gu Xiaobei nodded, and walked towards the chant banquet hall with Lin Hai.

Watching people come and go along the way, he kept whispering to him, "The four on your left are known as the "Four Heroes" of the infantry team, and they are rumored to be outstanding newcomers selected from the ten infantry squads...... And the ones who taught them were naturally the five fourth-class sergeant majors who were recognized as the most powerful in the Knights' infantry squad. Hey, no matter how powerful I am, I may not be able to compare to me, a second-class sergeant major who is much more advanced than them! ”

Seeing Gu Xiaobei's busy appearance of sticking gold on his face, Lin Hai was very helpless, and the corner of his eyes swept to the "four masters" of the infantry team, as if they saw him, so they leaned over each other and whispered to each other, not knowing what they were talking about, but their eyes sometimes fell on him collectively.

"Their original title was "Five Heroes", and Senshu was one of them, but now that they are absent because of you, they are naturally very interested in you......" Gu Xiaobei smiled extremely treacherously.

"The person on the left, don't look at him smiling at everyone, is actually a character who eats people and doesn't see bones...... Serving in the Intelligence Section, everyone is eager to avoid it, and he himself is a third-class sergeant major! ”

"The first few are called the "Seven Evils", all of them fifth-class sergeant majors, tricky characters in the Spartan Battalion of the Knights. ”

Entering the next passage, they were originally walking with the people around them, but at this time, they were suddenly pushed away by the waves and leaned to both sides.

In the distance of the vacated hollow red carpet, two men and women in lieutenant uniforms appeared, the man with short blond hair, tall and majestic. The woman's chestnut curly hair, bee waist ****, the two of them have a lot of aura, and the junior sergeant major and prospective non-commissioned officers everywhere they passed immediately gave way.

It didn't cause the blinding non-commissioned officers around them to whistle on this dazzling scene that stirred their hearts. The people who were invited to the swearing-in banquet were all key figures from all major battalions and squads, different from ordinary soldiers, of course, even if they were ruffians, they had to be restrained on this occasion.

The swearing-in banquet personally presided over by the acting head of the Knights and the Imperial Lieutenant General Ekami Tetsu, not to mention the presence of the knights and bigwigs, that is, many big figures in the empire came with faces, who would dare to make a mistake on this? Not to mention anything else, even the strict hierarchical rules of the Knights also crush you with an unruly bird, and naturally there are countless means to clean up the unruly.

At this time, even the characters of the major battalions who usually jump to the sky are cautious at this swearing-in banquet.

It is said that they control the newly assembled "Acura" mecha of the Dawn Battalion, which is the pair with the highest harmony rate, and it is like dancing, crushing the enemy. ”

"If it's a battlefield, the two of them should dance the "Dance of Death"......"

"It's always a character you can't mess with......"

******

Known as the "Acura Double Dance", the men and women walked forward, receiving the concession and many attention salutes of others, and the men did not squint, and wore a smile as if no one was around. The woman gently held his strong arm, the lady's military uniform showed her slender curves, her red lips were gorgeous and enchanting, and when she saw the people around her, the corners of her mouth lifted, and a faint and charming smile appeared.

They are indeed superior. It makes it difficult for others to be qualified to be jealous and envious.

In fact, although they have the rank of lieutenant, in a place like the Knights, the sergeant major is the greatest. The rest, whether you are a lieutenant or a colonel, are just cadets who have been selected to serve in the Order. On the outside, the rank is greater than that of the sergeant, but inside the Order, the sergeant major is the mountain fortress.

In this passage, Gu Xiaobei, who was wearing the epaulettes of the second-class sergeant, was undoubtedly the most important figure in it.

But he still stepped aside, so much so that the man and woman glanced at him as they passed.

Rao is how proud they are, a second sergeant major in front of them, still not something they can ignore indifferently.

The handsome pilot man nodded at Gu Xiaobei.

At the same time, the woman also noticed Lin Hai, who was looking closely at the eye-catching, but then saw his brigadier officer's armband, which alternated two pistols, indicating that this was the "rapid reaction squad" of the Knights. The gaze that was still waiting to be looked at was half-lowered and moved away. Holding the arm of the man next to him closer, there is a tendency to rely on each other.

The difference between a student of a rapid response team and a student of a mecha team is really more than just a matter of chance.

She knew very well that it was because she and the man's family were strong enough, as well as their natural qualifications and corresponding hard work. Otherwise, where could such a dreamlike thing happen to others when the Knights were able to enter the mecha team of the Dawn Camp?

"Skee...... Our fast reaction team and mecha team can't be compared......" It wasn't until the two of them walked over that Gu Xiaobei said with a smile and self-deprecation, "Naturally, it's not so beautiful, so even if you officially join the service in the future, you have to face the reality." ”

"I understand." Lin Hai nodded.

Gu Xiaobei looked at him in surprise, such a young man should have some youthful blood and strength, not to mention him, even those surrounding non-commissioned officers, seeing the pair of men and women just now, they inevitably showed envy, which was tantamount to their own dissatisfaction and expectations.

Everyone has the desire to become someone they can't reach, or a person who is a benchmark. Being admired and revered by others is not a shameful thing, but human nature, and it is the force that drives the world, who doesn't have illusions and excitement about this? Even if it was himself with a dead heart, why didn't Gu Xiaobei want to one day destroy the withering and decay in the place where the knights rode the dusty order?

But this young man was quite calm, neither envious of others who were better off than him, nor did he show jealousy in his eyes. There are only two explanations, one is that he feels that he cannot reach the heights of others in his life, and naturally he will not hope for extravagance, or even give up the ability to be jealous. The other is ...... He doesn't think it's a benchmark or a role model, he has a higher vision and aspirations.

So Gu Xiaobei said again, "But all the aura of talent and divine endowment is illusory...... If you want to get the real infinite scenery, you can only get it on the dangerous peak of the battlefield! And unfortunately......" A smile broke into the corner of Gu Xiaobei's mouth, "We are very good at doing this kind of thing." ”

******

The porch of the chant hall is open, revealing a spacious and multi-layered banquet hall inside.

People gathered in it, but it did not look chaotic, but probably because most of them were soldiers of the Knights, and they appeared to be very orderly, and the formation was clear, such as the Dawn Battalion, the Spartan Battalion, and the Morning Forward Battalion, all of which had their own activity areas.

Even if there is an intersection with each other, they stop at the point, and this kind of opposition of invisible ideologies makes the whole scene of many people clear at a glance.

Just looking at this time, Lin Hai could faintly feel Jiang Shangzhe's methods of governing the army, but he didn't know whether it was such a train of thought...... Divide the three battalions and compete with each other, so as to continuously sharpen and improve the quality of the members of the entire Knights?

This swearing-in banquet is obviously related to the opposition and competition of the three battalions, and when the mission military exercise arrives, they are even more defensive against each other, and there is an invisible barrier between them.

Only those guests who did not belong to the Knights arrived and walked through it without scruples.

As soon as I entered, on the circular terrace on the second floor above my head, a voice came, "Gu Xiaobei, come up!" You played beautifully in the frontcourt competition! These gentlemen want to hear how you usually lead the team! ”

At this time, although there were many people at the choral hall, they all spoke softly and quietly, and never made a loud noise. As for those instructors and non-commissioned officers, they sat upright, behaved appropriately and even approached machinery, and spoke in an absolutely moderate voice.

Because they were told the rules before they came to the feast. This is an invisible rule, belonging to the rules of the hierarchical army, in this banquet, only qualified people can speak loudly, this so-called qualified people are naturally those guests who do not belong to the Knights, they can speak loudly, but most people know the rules of the banquet of the Knights, and no one will not be ignorant of the current affairs.

Secondly, only those who hold the authority of the Knights, the big men of the Knights, are qualified to have a louder and harder voice than others. Ordinary instructors and quasi-non-commissioned officers, naturally, are not among them. You can't speak loudly at all.

At this time, someone actually opened his mouth like this, of course, it was extremely eye-catching, and many people immediately looked up.

But when I saw the person who spoke, I was relieved again.

Because the person who spoke was Homer, one of the three kings of the Knights, the "Mad King", the battalion commander of the Chenfeng battalion, and in the entire banquet, he was definitely one of the ten people who were most qualified to speak tougher and louder than others.

He was on the sofa on the second floor, and on the side were officers from several departments of the Knights, who were looking at Gu Xiaobei with a sparkle of light. It's just that everyone clearly saw Lin Hai beside Gu Xiaobei, but they didn't call Lin Hai to come over.

Probably because of his status as a quasi-non-commissioned officer, he has not yet officially passed the service.

The interaction between these high-level bigwigs of the Knights, calling Gu Xiaobei in is probably just enough to talk, as for Lin Hai, it seems too low. You must know that the prospective non-commissioned officer pre-selected cadets in the knights are only commonly known as "reptiles", and Lin Hai has not jumped out of this category.

Gu Xiaobei confirmed that Homer was just calling him alone, so he gave Lin Hai a "free arrangement" look and went to Homer's gang.

Leaving Lin Hai at the bottom, but he is not alone, this word should be used for him to be alone in a strange environment and a strange crowd. But although Lin Hai is facing an unfamiliar environment, he is not a stranger.

Among the people around him and the banquet, he saw many people he knew before.

******

Lou Liangyu, She Qingshu, Tang Sinan, Ivan Rover, Wilson and other cadres of the five marquis families of Milan Star have long since disappeared from their original gorgeous robes and beautiful clothes, and have changed into the same quasi-non-commissioned officer military uniform as Lin Hai, and are in the banquet, staring at him with a mysterious and complicated gaze.

When Lin Hai was slightly stunned, the five people over there thought for a long time and finally walked towards him.

Facing Lin Hai's slightly widened and questioning expression, Lou Liangyu clearly felt that this face was still so annoying, but Zhilu Dao took on the entrustment himself, so he said, "Lu Shaozai has been transferred to the Chenfeng Battalion Machinery Department and is doing some research work...... There are some technical issues that need to be discussed with you...... I'm just in charge of bringing the words to you. ”

Lin Hai suddenly came to the Knights with him, but probably because he was used to keeping a low profile, he did not attend such an occasion for the swearing-in banquet, and because the department he transferred to encountered some technical problems, he thought of Lin Hai, who had an incomparably strong theoretical foundation, to help solve it.

"Let him come to me after that, through the personal terminal or not too far to come to the fast anti-team...... I'm willing to see what trouble he encounters......" Lin Hai nodded, then looked at the five people, and finally couldn't help but say, "You guys...... What's going on? ”

Lou Liangyu and the other four looked at each other, and the four of them shook their heads lightly to indicate that they would not speak, but he turned his head to face Lin Hai against the unanimous opinion, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Since the young masters of the Rand family have come to the Knights...... What do you think...... The five of us, can go against the will of that old lady in my family? ”

The Rand family has always been the leader of the aristocratic world of the Milan Star District, and now that Lu Ming, who is Milan Rand, has come to the Knights, the future heirs of Lou Liangyu of the Five Marquis Families, naturally they can't avoid it, and everyone is thrown in and retreats with Lu Ming.

Thinking of this, when the four people behind Lou Liangyu looked uncertain and even regretted that they shouldn't tell him the truth......

Sure enough.

Lin Hai laughed dumbly.
