Chapter 21, New Tasks

War is always followed by a brief period of peace.

A large number of engineering troops began to build new bases on the heights. High walls were erected on the edge of the heights, and observation posts and machine-gun towers were erected every dozen meters. After the celebration, the soldiers also joined the construction of the new base with their tired bodies.

Li De met Kliman again in the new base, and he had been promoted, and now he was in the position of director, and his rank was also promoted to major. After congratulating him, Kliman was also very emotional. "You kid thinks it's limitless in the future!" Leave this sentence and leave.

During these days, Li De lived a leisurely life. After the construction of the base and the post-war inventory were completed, the military headquarters sent people the day before yesterday to reward the meritorious personnel in this campaign.

For his bravery and Lampard's boasting, he was awarded two Purple Stars and promoted to the rank of corporal. Now he can be regarded as a non-commissioned officer of the rank of non-commissioned officer.

On this day, Li De still got up from meditation in the morning as usual. Now nightly meditation has become his alternative to sleeping. And he also added the effect of the dreamy starlight from before to his meditation, and every time he meditated, he "saw" that the inside of his body was golden, and that energy was accumulating more and more, making him progress rapidly now.

After the morning workout, it's breakfast, and then it's time to go to Tank.

Li De only found out the previous week that Tank had also participated in the battle of the Palma Heights. The name Parma is the code name given to this highland by the military department.

Neither the bald head nor the long hair in the Tank group survived the battlefield. The howitzer truck driven by two people and another team member was directly blown up by self-detonating flying insects, and none of the three survived. The captain with the gold wire glasses and Tank driving the main battle tank were also attacked by flying insects, but Tank escaped in time and saved their captain's life, for which Tank also received a Purple Star Medal.

The two chatted until noon, and were on their way to the cafeteria, when a ghost fighter plane fell from the sky and jumped down a girl with a maroon ponytail. Liona appears in front of Li De and Tank.

The way she appeared from the sky shocked Tank, and he didn't even know when Liona took Li De away from him.

Without saying a word, Liona threw Li De into the fighter plane, which had not yet fully landed, and jumped on it herself. In a few moments, the plane disappeared into the clouds.

"Where have you been all this time?" Find a good seat on the fighter plane and sit down, looking at Leona, Li De asked first. "Confidential."

"Where are you going this time?"

"Base."

Li De was accustomed to the cold answer of the girl who had saved him. Liona has always cherished words like gold, and she will definitely only say one word if she can express what can be expressed in two words.

"Is there anything to eat?" Li De thought that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, but immediately regretted it after saying that.

Sure enough, Leona blushed and took out a lunch box.

After swallowing the food prepared by Leona, Li De used the communicator to contact Company Commander Frank Lampard and asked him to send his equipment and bags to the base, and then sat down in his seat and closed his eyes.

The plane flew for several hours and finally arrived at the forward base. This time, Liona didn't jump out of the plane directly and walked out with Li De.

He was greeted by a middle-aged man with slightly dark skin, a pointed face, a hooked nose, and black hair. The military uniform on his body was straight, without a trace of wrinkles, and he wore a red beret on his head. Lide noticed that the rank on his epaulette was, colonel.

Liona walked over and gave a military salute and smiled rarely.

"This is Colonel Descartes. He is Li De. Liona made a brief introduction.

Li De also walked up to salute a military salute, only to see the middle-aged man take a look at him and stretch out his right hand with leather gloves.

Li Decheng stepped forward to hold the middle-aged man's hand in fear, but suddenly felt a force enter his body and pull it out again.

Descartes nodded, motioned for Lide to follow, and walked towards the base headquarters.

Entering the office of the headquarters, there were only three people, Lid, Descartes, and Leona. Descartes said, "I didn't expect you to be a Skywalker already." ”

Hearing this, Li De was also surprised. He knew that Descartes had been testing his strength before, but he didn't expect that he had already earned the title of Skywalker.

"I saw Karin's vision is good, so we have a little bit of certainty in this task." Despite Lid's astonishment, Descartes continued.

"Well, how am I a Skywalker?" Li De asked puzzled.

"You're a first-order Skywalker now. You should already be able to feel the forces in your body and be able to control them to gather and move in your body. ”

Li De nodded, he didn't know that he was a first-order Skywalker like this. "And what about the other phases!" Li De asked.

"When you can send your power out of your body, it's the second order. That's when you'll be able to use a lightsaber. As for the aftermath, naturally someone will sue you. ”

Lidd didn't go any further, just remembered what Descartes had said earlier. He hadn't tried to send that power out of his body. Now Descartes' words give him a new hint.

"Now, tell me why I brought you here." Descartes said sternly. "I have a new mission here, and I need a team member. It wasn't supposed to be your turn, but Karin wasn't here, so you got your chance. And now it seems that your strength is better than we expected. ”

When Li De heard this, he couldn't help but think of that charming figure.

"This mission is a first-class top-secret mission, and the estimated survival rate of the military supercomputer is 35%. If you feel dangerous, you can quit now. Once you accept the task, there is no chance to back down. ”

"So, will Leona go?"

"Yes."

"So, okay. I'm willing to accept the task. Li De looked at Descartes with a determined look and said.

"Okay, so let's take a look at the mission brief. I'll pass it on to your combat computer separately. You have to destroy it as soon as you finish reading it, and you know what to expect if the data is leaked. ”

With that, Descartes sent an e-mail to Lid's combat computer.

"Alright, Leona will take you to see the gear, and when you're ready, gather on the tarmac tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. and go. Disband. ”

Li Deli saluted and exited the office with Leona.

Walking with Leona on the way to the equipment warehouse, Li De looked at the little girl next to him who was half a head shorter than him, and thought to himself that although the two had experienced a lot of things together, they really didn't know much about her.

Liona saw Descartes' eyes today, and Descartes looked at Leona's look, the two should be quite intimate, not just the relationship between superiors and subordinates. And looking at the looks of the two, they should not be father and daughter.

"What is the relationship between Descartes and you?" Li De asked.

"He's a father, a master." Liona replied.

"He's your father?" Li De was a little surprised. Looking at Descartes' appearance, it seems that there would not be such delicate genes.

"I'm the daughter he picked up." Liona still spoke coldly about her background.

"So we were all picked up! Hehe! Li De felt that he could understand the reason for Leona's cold attitude. The same experience brought the hearts of the two people closer together.

The equipment depot that Liona brought to Lide was a small warehouse located behind the headquarters. In the warehouse, all kinds of guns and ammunition were hung.

There are two rows of wardrobes in the middle, and on the benches in the middle of the wardrobes are several sets of mobile combat armor.

"That's yours." Liona said, pointing to a set of heavy tawny armor.

Looking at this all-body yellow-brown battle armor, it is much thicker than the previous medium-sized battle armor. While the armor on the limbs and chest was thickened, the lower back and abdomen were also protected by increased armor.

A backpack was added to the back. The weight of the entire equipment is 75 kilograms, and if the power assist is not turned on, the movement will be hindered to a certain extent.

Li De stroked this suit of armor and was excited. Ignoring Leona on the side, she began to take off her clothes and pants and try on her armor.

Put on the inner armor and open the circuit connection of the inner armor, and the inner armor is tightly attached to the skin. Put on the combat boots, and the fasteners on the back of the calf are automatically tightened.

Wear a heavy cuirass, shoulder pads on the shoulders, and scale armor attached to the waist. Next are the arms guards and gloves.

After wearing a whole set of armor, Li De's psychology seemed to have a sense of security and pride. Looking at his name written on his chest in the interstellar lingua franca, Li De knew that this set of battle armor was specially prepared for himself.

=======================================================

On the planet Kent, a pink spaceship lands on the tarmac. A beautiful figure stepped out of the cabin, followed by a handsome and handsome young man.

This is Karin and Heinrich arriving at Karin's hometown after a month of interstellar flight.

As soon as the spaceship got out, dozens of figures waiting on the tarmac stepped forward to greet them. An old servant stepped forward to lead the way, and directly led the two of them into a limousine that had been waiting for a long time.

In the car, a middle-aged man sat facing Karin. Holding a goblet in his hand, the crimson wine swaying in the glass with his hand.

When Karin got into the car, Heinrich poured her a glass of wine for her. Karin gracefully raised her glass and dipped her sexy red lips into the wine.

"Welcome home." The middle-aged man said.

"Thank you, Uncle Moka." Karin returned the favor with a smile.

"How's Grandpa's health?" Karin asked with concern.

"You'll find out when you get back." The middle-aged man named Moka sighed helplessly.

Karin's true identity is that of the eldest lady of the Kent family. She is the only granddaughter of Niselde Kent, one of the top ten generals in the army. Because Karin's father was killed in a previous battle, Karin is currently the only direct descendant of Nissard. This time she returned to Planet Kent because her grandfather suddenly became seriously ill and her family sent urgent news.

However, when Karin saw her grandfather having afternoon tea in the hall of the family castle, she realized that she had been fooled.

General Niselder was in a meeting with several officers, listening to each other's reports and eating snacks. It looks like he's been admitted to a critical care ward.
