Chapter 44: The Northern Fortress
The Northern Fortress is a fully armed planet, and even if it is a city, it is full of armed atmosphere.
There are anti-aircraft batteries on every building, robot guards patrol every major thoroughfare, and people live in cities within military bases, restricting many areas of movement.
Fortunately, the scale of each city is still very large, and even many rooftop buildings are planted with grain and fruit trees, and the park is also a wheat field, so it can be said that there is no waste of land, but it is beautiful. These crops seem to be scattered, but they can feed one-third of the population of the fortress, which can be regarded as self-replenishment.
Such a green city is completely different from the planetary city reported by Lei Luo before, it is mostly a wasteland, and there is little green life, but this place is very beautiful. The earth is seriously polluted, especially in the big cities of the Celestial Empire, the haze weather is obvious to all, the vegetation is destroyed, and there are more cars than people are consuming the vitality of the earth.
Relo spent three days on this planet, and knew that this fortress planet was called Utrila, which was about twice the size of Earth, and it was also a planet with oceans larger than land, but the seafood here was relatively cheap and delicious.
Three days later, all the soldiers of the Third Battleship Formation gathered at the spaceport, and the lecture hall that could accommodate 1,000 people was full of soldiers.
Lei Luo looked at Brian with a solemn expression and took the Silver Star Medal and felt funny in his heart, originally Brian won the first battle, and the bigwigs smoothed him out, and turned it into a success. And this second time it was clearly a loss, but it became a great achievement, a reward, and publicity, which is really funny.
Perhaps this is the charm of politics, whether it is right or wrong is a game for those in power, and as a small person, he is just a pawn in their hands.
A chess piece? Lei Luo couldn't help but think of Thunder, then he must be Thunder's pawn. As a chess piece, only the more he reflects his value, he will not become an outcast! Ah, it's really unpleasant to think about being someone else's pawn for nothing, it seems that if you want to really live well, the path of power is a must!
Lei Luo was thinking nonsense there, when he heard the rostrum shouting his name: "Lei Luo! ”
Ray Lo came back to his senses and thought he was hallucinating, but when he saw Wesker standing up, he turned back to him and said, "Call us!" ”
Wesker has achieved remarkable results in sniper battles, killing three opponents, two spaceships, and a number of supports, which can be described as raising eyebrows. To say that Wesker is miserable in martial arts, and he is as timid as a mouse on the battlefield, but this sniper is very talented, aiming and firing the black gun and grabbing one by one, it is like a different person.
Wesker called out to Lei Luo, who naturally knew that his name had been read on the rostrum just now, so he and four or five first-class armored soldiers left their seats and walked towards the podium.
Balabala, who was in charge, said a lot, praising the first-class armored warrior for using an armor-piercing rifle to snipe at the enemy this time to effectively stop the enemy's attack or something, and then said that this time the leader of Lei Luoqi was very creative, and the Imperial Military Department awarded a Silver Star Medal, and the rest of the people received the Bronze Star Medal!
Originally, there were more than a dozen shooting survivors, but the rest obviously did not perform well, so the five people plus Lei Luo became the darlings of the podium.
A general who didn't know what the official was, pinned a silver star medal to Lei Luo's chest, and Lei Luo gave a standard military salute, and then there was a burst of applause below.
After Lei Luo and the others left the podium, the officials said a lot, Lei Luo wanted to laugh, sure enough, there are bureaucrats everywhere, this nonsense is a fight with the officials of the Celestial Empire.
The meeting lasted for a full three hours before the meeting was adjourned, and this time Marshal Huo Hening did not appear, and it can be seen that Lieutenant General Brian's relationship with him is not as good-looking as it seems.
After the conference ended, he saw Feng Lie walking up to him and said, "The merit is in hand, how are you going to arrange it?" ”
Lei Luo smiled slightly: "Of course it's going home chic." ”
Feng Lie patted him on the shoulder and said, "How about deceiving him of another medal if he is not in a hurry?" ”
Lei Luo was stunned: "Can the medal still be deceived?" ”
Feng Lie smiled and said: "The top has arranged a task for us, there is no danger and no pressure, and the completion of our third battalion is a third-class merit, the Bronze Star Medal, how about it, your kid has already mixed a collective second-class merit, an individual second-class merit, why don't you add another one?" ”
Lei Luo said casually: "I said it wouldn't be the princess's bodyguard, right?" ”
Feng Lie laughed: "Good boy, he really has a future, and he can guess it accurately." "Lei Luo sweats wildly, this is really a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, and a blind guess can be hit.
Feng Lie put away his laughter, and then said: "In this northern fortress, Her Royal Highness the princess must still be very safe, we only need to protect her on the periphery for a few days, I believe that her military exploits will be recorded as soon as she leaves on the front foot and on the back foot, so you listen to me, and then go back after this task is completed, it will be good for you in the military academy!" ”
Lei Luo thought that it would take more than three months for the military academy to open, and there was plenty of time, so he nodded in response in the next few days.
The wounded of the third battalion healed in almost three days, and Feng Lie had already selected a dozen people to serve as the outer guards of Her Royal Highness the Princess. As guards, Lei Luo and the others changed into a military uniform, and instead put on a black suit, wearing headphones, and obeying the princess's guards.
Claire has a high popularity as the eldest princess, she is humble and polite, and she is very attractive in itself, so when the people in the fortress city know that she has come to condole, they are very happy. Her Royal Highness also fulfills the duties of the royal family, participates in various public welfare activities, condolences to officers and soldiers, and interacts with the public.
Every time in the army, it's okay to talk, but watching Her Royal Highness the princess and the local people participate in the performance together makes Lei Luo very nervous.
So someone couldn't help but whisper: "Her Royal Highness the princess shuttles between at least three cities all day and night, participates in six activities, and is busy until late at night every day, isn't she tired?" ”
"Shut up, don't talk, just do your part!" Feng Lie scolded.
Lei Luo asked, "How many days does the princess have to leave?" ”
Feng Li's voice sounded in the headphones: "Two days, so everyone don't complain, and in two more days you will be free!" ”
This is good, and it is not bad to mix the Bronze Star Medal in two days, so that my resume will look better. Thinking about it, the Arda people on this planet are not so easy to get into, the task should be simple, and it is best for the wife to end peacefully.
Who knew that Lei Luo's fantasy was very good, but the truth seemed to make him wonder if he was a crow's mouth.
At this moment, the princess is attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the completion of the building by the fountain in the square in front of the building.
At least 1,000 people gathered, and there were activities and small prizes, so the excitement of the people was very high.
The voice of the princess's personal guard sounded in the headphones: "Group A determines the commanding heights, and guards against snipers!" ”
Since Lei Luo and the others showed the charm of sniping, the princess has one more responsibility to protect to prevent snipers from existing.
Lei Luo once slandered the people here that they didn't even have a concept of the existence of snipers, and it wasn't until he had a sniper battle that the sniper class was put back on the table!
"Team B observes the surrounding crowd and activates the metal scanner to see if there is an ambusher hiding in the crowd!" The guard's voice sounded again.
Lei Luo was in Group B, so he clicked on the watch in his hand, only to see that he touched the switch on the side of the watch, and a computer interface appeared, and after Lei Luo chose to scan the crowd, the interface began to move.
Satellite maps began to unfold, zooming in until they showed the view above the building, and the instruments began to come to life. This watch is a smart brain that links to the space military satellites of the Northern Fortress, and can have some power to operate the satellites to facilitate the defense of the royal family. However, it is also obvious that this kind of high-tech product will also be handed over after the completion of the defense mission of Lei Luo to avoid the exposure of satellite information.
"Safety!" Lei Luo said as he looked at the satellite scans.
"We're safe here, too, and we haven't found any snipers on nearby floors!" The people from Group A also replied.
"Since it's safe for the time being, everyone just needs to pay attention to whether there are high-level armored warriors among the people!" The guards were visibly relaxed.
Princess Claire smiled brightly at the people, and then took the big scissors and cut the colorful silk with the local mayor.
Bang bang bang, the fireworks bloomed, the people cheered, the princess wanted to walk off the stage, and several models appeared on the stage in bright costumes.
Such an eye-catching model, and wearing very little, immediately aroused the interest of many men, and they couldn't wait to squeeze directly under the stage, and were barely restrained by the security guards of the building.
At this moment, Lei Luo's eyes seemed to be flashed by a golden light, and Lei Luo's eyes narrowed and immediately checked what was going on. He looked left and right, and finally noticed that there was a person with a blank face and a crowd of people squeezing forward, everyone else had a happy expression, but he was just staring ahead without any expression.
Lei Luo couldn't help but follow his gaze, and his heart instantly tightened, he was looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Lei Luo couldn't help pinching the earphones and said: "Everyone pay attention, there is a man in a blue T-shirt in the crowd in front of the left, with brown hair and a height of about 175!" Saying that, Lei Luo couldn't help but look at the man's palm, and sure enough, there was a golden crystal.
Soon two guards had already overtaken the man, and Lei Luo was about to warn them that it was a fourth-level armored warrior but it was too late.
"Armored!" Black armor bloomed in the crowd, and to Lei Luo's consternation, it wasn't one black armor, but six armors!
Isn't it golden? Lei Luo was thinking about it, but saw that the black-armored warrior had already taken out a narrow sword and slashed the two guards who rushed in two. It is said to be a Japanese sword because the shape of the sword resembles the Oriental samurai sword that exists on Earth. Cold weapons already have a lot of similarities, like Lei Luo used a Tang knife, which also has a high similarity with the Japanese knife.
"Kill!" With a wave of the black armor killer's long knife, the six black armor killers all swept the crowd and killed the princess with their long knives.
