As the temporary commander, Chen Kaile, the deputy commander of the independent regiment, has changed from the initial nervousness to the current calmness, and can already read the logbook while drinking coffee. On the other side of the bridge, Marco was doing a training plan for a combat brigade. Training in space requires more effort than usual, because it is possible to conduct combat training in no gravity here.

Xue Weiwei, who was in charge of tactics, was by Marco's side, learning from the rich combat experience of the former spear squad leader, and at the same time corroborating his own ideas. After all, the current war is different from a hundred years ago, and the tactics have changed a lot, but the general idea remains the same, and only the means have changed.

In the days when Li De was away, the most idle was Mary as a prisoner. She was locked in a separate room, and her daily diet was brought over by a special person, and all she needed to do every day was to calm down and cultivate.

It was only after Li De and Junlong negotiated with the Xinhua House of Elders that the House of Elders agreed that they would take 3,000 of the 5,000 men of the Independent Regiment away. Xinhua needed manpower for post-war reconstruction, and Li De and the others also understood it, and many soldiers of the Independent Regiment were reluctant to always be far from home. Therefore, the 2,000 soldiers who chose to stay were all native to Dressel.

Calculating the days, it has been two and a half months since the Frost Seeking set off again, and it is almost the time when Li De originally planned to return, Xue Weiwei has been worried that the plan she came up with will fail, after all, they did not seem to be very smooth when they set their sights on the new governor of Ocashur from the beginning, not to mention that the new governor was killed, and their whereabouts were almost exposed.

And Xue Weiwei, who came up with the idea of impersonating a federal official, was only inspired by a storybook she read when she was a child, and when she read that book, she was still thinking, why are those people so stupid, why can't they recognize this person as a fake? As a result, I didn't expect to come up with such an idea and let Li De and them pretend to be federal officials, so I can only hope that the rest of the officials on that Ocashur Star are fools.

Because of the need to hide your whereabouts. The Frost is always in a state of network isolation, that is, it does not send any signals to the outside. The crowd could not connect to the federated network through the quantum signal relays distributed in space, otherwise they would be discovered, and they would have no way of knowing the situation on Okase's side, so they could only wait stupidly.

There is no sunrise or sunset in the universe, and the so-called world is nothing more than a number on a timer. After discussing with Mark for more than an hour, Vivi twisted her neck a little tiredly, just in time to see a bright spot moving at high speed from the huge holographic display on the bridge.

"Captain, are they back?" Vivi asked, a little surprised and hopeful. How she wished that her plan had been a success, and that it had made a significant gain.

"What?" Mark looked at Vivi a little confused, and then followed her gaze to the holographic screen.

This holographic screen is projected so that everyone inside the bridge can directly observe what is going on outside the battleship. Let the people on the bridge feel as if they are at the bow of the battleship, and they can see the surrounding starry sky.

"There, what's that?" Vivi gestured to the bright spot that was moving at high speed.

"It's the captain!" Radarman, a girl with short hair shouted.

"Captain!?" Chen Kaile raised his head, and his eyes shone brightly.

"Coming back?" Mark also looked at the holographic screen.

The bright spot grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a pie-shaped ship. The side of the ship shimmered with a pale blue light, like a plate flying in the starry sky.

"Captain sent a request for contact!"

"Hurry up and take it!" Chen Kaile said immediately.

In less than two seconds, the avatars of Li De, Junlong and others appeared on the virtual screen in the center of Cambridge.

"Captain! Welcome back to the entire Frost Hunter Commanding Staff! Chen Kaile said with a military salute. He was only grateful to Li De in his heart, because it was he who turned himself, a miner, into the deputy commander of an interstellar battleship.

"Hello. My deputy head of regiment. How is this seat sitting now? Li De said teasingly. Chen Kaile was in the position of captain at this time.

"That," Chen Kaile didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only change the subject and say, "We are waiting for you to come back, I don't know if this plan has succeeded?" Weiwei's little girl was so anxious that she couldn't eat. ”

"How can I!" Xue Weiwei screamed. A little embarrassed, he said, "I'm just worried about the captain, so I won't be able to eat." ”

"Huh?" Someone on the other side of the virtual screen sighed, and only then did the people inside Cambridge see it. It was a beautiful woman.

"Alright, we're back, let's open the hatch!" Li De finished speaking. He shut down the communication, as Karin beside him was pinching his waist with two fingers, preventing him from continuing.

"You're going to have to explain it to me when you get back." Karin dropped the sentence and turned around and walked away in a huff.

Little Lori Alice couldn't understand what was going on, because she hadn't seen Karin as she was. Because of the disfigurement gene medicine, Karin is still Andriana's appearance, and it will take another five days to change back to her original appearance.

Liona beside Alice looked even colder, her face seemed to be frosty, and her eyes looked at Karin's back.

Karin didn't feel Leona's eyes, but even with a demon personality, she didn't know how to face Li De and Leona at this time. Because Liona is not wrong, that girl can't even express her inner feelings, and maybe even she herself doesn't know her feelings for Li De. She can only blame Li De, blame Li De for why he wants to stir Leona's heart, so that the current atmosphere will become awkward.

Alice, the initiator of all this, pretended to be innocent, looking at Karin and Liona for a while. There was a hint of cunning in a pair of innocent eyes.

The Cake Ship flew into the hatch of the Frost Seeker and entered the interior of the battleship.

Returning to the Frost Hunter again, Li De seemed to have a feeling of coming home. It was something he had never had, and never thought he would have. At the beginning, by the garbage heap in Arkansas, the dirty shack had no taste of home at all, and then in the barracks, it was like a passerby, even in the days of military school, it was difficult for him to find a sense of belonging, but on this Frost Seeker, he could feel something called home.

None of the members of the Frost Hunter had ever seen Karin or the others, not even Descartes and Clarke, who had changed their appearances. The operator of the dockyard looked curiously at the dozen or so strangers brought back by his captain, and wanted to go up to interrogate but did not dare to come forward.

"Captain!" Chen Kaile took Xue Weiwei and others to the dock, and was a little speechless when he saw Li De.

"Let's go to the conference room first, and I'll talk about the previous situation and the next steps." Li De patted Chen Kaile on the shoulder and said.

"Yes! Captain! ”

Coming to the conference room, Li De first introduced Karin and others to everyone. When they heard that Karin was the person from the Kent family that had been destroyed by the Federation, everyone understood Li De's intention, which was to pull allies.

Then, Lide went on to tell about their time on Ocashur. This was carried out at the urging of Xue Weiwei, who meant that she wanted to use the situation of this mission to improve the evaluation of future tactics. So Li De recounted their encounter on Ocashur from beginning to end.

"Finally, after that explosion, we took advantage of the chaos to put Diego de la Vega's body inside the collapsed manor, smashed the skull and spilled some blood, making everything look like a war accident. Then he left with the cooperation of Descartes. Li De said.

"So, Descartes has been hiding among the soldiers who are guarding?" Vivi asked for some details.

"Yes." Descartes himself explained, "At that time, some of the guards were local garrisons, and some were the original governor's palace guards, and they didn't know anyone with each other, and when they got into chaos, they only looked at the clothes they were wearing." (To be continued.) )
