Lieutenant General Berway, with white temples, put down the report and motioned to Bonlaide on the side for further explanation.

Bonrider coughed slightly, and took a step forward. With Lieutenant General Boulway's astonished gaze (with a clear bruise on his left eye), he opened the folder in his hand and began to report some information that had not been recorded in the exercise report and some important points that were easily overlooked.

During the exercise, Shoshi's battle video, accompanied by a large amount of data and explanations, was constantly changed in the medium-sized virtual screen in the center of the conference room. As the report progressed, the three young soldiers dressed in captain's clothes on the side of the conference table began to feel a little uneasy, and their serious expressions began to redden.

“…… Second Lieutenant Athor, shot nine times, killed five times in close combat. The diffusion firepower suppression of the Aika-3 trial medium-distance scatterer gun has met the design requirements in terms of accuracy and power. However, due to the longer than expected firing intervals, the effect of barrage suppression was not ideal. ”

"Ensign Norman, shot three times, lost control twice, ran out of energy six times. The Type 007 close-feather wing is superior in terms of resistance to attacks and defense against long-range artillery fire. However, the lack of core power of Light Feather and the overweight of melee weapons are very prominent. ”

"How many lieutenants did Braffer, he was shot once, lost control six times, lost his combat ability eight times......"

The TCZ series of wings was developed for high-ranking Shoshi who were unable to obtain the Fairy Contract for some reason. Most of the high-ranking warriors are excellent martial artists, they have outstanding combat skills and strong adaptability, and the standard wings of the regular models simply cannot meet their requirements. Therefore, the test of this "high-grade goods" cannot be handed over to those half-baked test warriors in the magic workshop, but directly handed over to the Harast Fortress garrison fleet, which has been on the front line for many years.

Vice Admiral Berway, commander of the Harast Fortress, selected three young and promising Shomen from the garrison fleet to participate in the testing of the TCZ series of wings. But...... What is going on with this "miserable" achievement?

Lieutenant General Berway's gaze swept over Angrus to the side, and finally fell on the three young warriors who were sitting respectfully.

- What's going on?

Lieutenant General Bourwe's gaze was full of obvious doubt.

Under the gaze of the supreme person in charge of the fortress, the faces of the three young Xiangshi quickly showed embarrassment. In fact, they had already learned about their "glorious deeds" long before they stepped into the conference room. It's not that they're not trying hard enough, it's ......

Fortunately, Lieutenant General Boulway quickly realized the crux of the problem and signaled that Bonrider did not need to continue reporting.

“…… You're all doing really well. ”

Lieutenant General Berway spoke slowly as he pondered.

As a young man, Lieutenant General Boulway also trained under the guidance of Shoshi instructors. He can be said to have a deep understanding of the level of pressure and impact that the mature and changeable combat skills of the instructor will cause to the young Xiangshi. After a brief empathy, his gaze naturally returned to Angelus, who was casual on the side.

The motive for joining the 37th Experimental Force...... Lieutenant General Boulway sighed in his heart a little helplessly. In other words, "it's fun to abuse newcomers"?

But he thought to himself, but that didn't stop him from affirming that Angelus was teaching Shoshi and testing new wings.

"Especially in the last three months, you have improved rapidly in terms of tactical coordination and single-wing combat capabilities. Safir, it's all thanks to you. "Lieutenant General Boulway is like teaching his own children. In fact, Lieutenant General Berway was old enough and experienced to be their grandfather.

"Children, you are the pride of Valhasa, and I am proud of you. Young eagles have to go through hardships before they can spread their wings, and now is the time for you to be tested and thrive. Don't lose faith because of a momentary setback......"

"Yes......"

From the depressed expressions and weak voices of the three Shoshi, it can be seen that Lieutenant General Bourwei's comfort did not play a big role. In normal times, Lieutenant General Boulway would certainly have taken great pains to persuade him again. Today, however, is an exception.

"Drip, drip."

An electronic sound came from the terminal in front of Lieutenant General Berwee's seat indicating that the message had been received. Lieutenant General Bourwei casually clicked on the message, swept it slightly, and then announced the end of today's exercise report: "That's it for today's report. Kids, go back and get ready. The New Year's Day celebrations after a three-month absence are about to begin. Change into the most beautiful dress. Tonight, it's yours. ”

"Yes!"

As soon as they talked about the evening celebration, the three Shoshi immediately regained their spirits. The militarized fortress had little to no entertainment, so the soldiers were very interested in the New Year's Day celebrations, which had been planned for half a year earlier and then had to be postponed due to tensions.

Lieutenant General Boulway then added: "Although it is a celebration, you should all know that you are not allowed to touch alcoholic beverages." Got it? ”

"Yes!"

"Safir, you stay. Others, disbanded! ”

The three test warriors and the two magicians stood up and saluted, and then Yukan walked out of the room. After saying goodbye to each other outside the door, they hurried to their rooms. Showering, applying makeup, changing clothes...... Preparing for a banquet can be time-consuming!

As everyone left, the conference room quickly fell silent. Neither of the remaining two spoke, but quietly stared out the window at the large carrier ship that was brightly lit.

Eventually, Angelus was the first to break the silence. As he spoke, he reached out and opened the soundproof force field in the room.

"How are the negotiations going?"

As the soundproof force field unfolded, the cold wind outside the window and the slightly noisy celebration disappeared at the same time.

“…… Not very optimistic. Lieutenant General Boulway sank into the armchair, his face showing a deep exhaustion, "Babylon took the initiative to admit his mistakes, and gave what he wanted. However, they are demanding to join the Musk Convention as soon as possible, and they also hope that we can send the Phantom Moon Third Fleet to take over the defense of Pegga Heights. They can't even guarantee the safety of the routes within 500 kilometers of the capital......"

"What about Eden?"

"There was no actual compensation, just a promise of a public apology. And......" Thinking of Eden's specific actions, Lieutenant General Boulway sighed even more, "and...... They took the children of all the high-ranking clergy of the Holy See out as hostages, saying that they were expressing their sincerity. Well, it's pretty much all there. The ones that have not arrived will be made up tomorrow, and there are enough squadrons to come out. He pointed out the window to the luxury cruise ship.

“…… Kill two birds with one stone, simply. At the end of the negotiation, they must all be secretly shouting 'all for the prosperity of Eden'! Right. ”

"Heh, hehe......"

Lieutenant General Boulway nodded helplessly, and his smile was full of bitterness - although Angelus was slightly exaggerating, Eden's style was indeed like this.

"What about Atlantis? They're not asking for more aid again, are they? ”

Lieutenant General Berway sighed deeply, and the wry smile on his face deepened a little: "Not bad. And their demands are very reasonable, based solely on the law on mutual security. If you don't give it, it will definitely not work...... And they also learned from Eden, and sent Speaker Waitsmer's daughter over in the name of studying abroad. Nominally, it should be...... Well, it's supposed to be the 'Special Ombudsman', who oversees the meat votes of Eden. ”

"Then there must be a ruckus on the Jewel Princess now. It's either a princess or a saint, and there are also those 'angels' who are afraid that they will not be troublesome enough. ”

It's like verifying Angelus' guesses. A tidal wave of cheers erupted from the Jewel Princess, but neither of them in the soundproofed position heard it.

"The question is what to do? Eden's St. Laurent's fleet has been stuck in the Pega Heights! ”

"It's a matter of time before the Third Fleet Phantom Moon settles into the Pega Heights. However, the real idea of the Unified and Cooperative Operations Headquarters should be to form a new integrated fleet with the Third Fleet Phantom Moon as the core. The new integrated fleet must not only have enough combat power to maintain the defense of the Pega Heights, but also have the spare strength to intervene in the defense of the blockade line of the North Misty Sea. The integration plan will take approximately three months. If all goes well, then the First Fleet Thunder will have about two months of rest and recuperation, and it will also be able to draw manpower from the Izumo Sea blockade line for in-depth reconnaissance......"

"Well, indeed...... It looks like you're going back early. ”

“…… Well. Angelus nodded noncommittally, "Valhasa's defense force is now mainly relying on the Seventh Fleet Cangyan and the Second Fleet Falling Snow. The combat power is still insufficient. ”

“…… Eden's style this time is too chilling. But then again, if Eden becomes very cooperative, the Unification War Headquarters may really consider them allies. Then our troubles may not be the only ones...... The Third Fleet's Miral Moon will be deployed in two months. In other words, from the end of May at the latest, the only mobile force that the Valhasa defense circle can mobilize is the Seventh Fleet. ”

"Eden's non-cooperation was expected for a long time. It's just that...... It's just that the formation of the task force is going to be accelerated. ”

"Yes, the reorganization of the task force must be completed as soon as possible." Lieutenant General Boulway slowly got up, his face full of tiredness, "Why don't you go back with the Jewel Princess?" Anyway, there's nothing for you here at the moment, and the training mission is almost over......"

"No problem." Angelus immediately agreed to the old man's suggestion.

"That's right. It's been a long time since you've been home to see it. ”

"Hmm. Already...... It's really been a long time since I went back. My family won't think I'm dead......"

"Don't say bad things!"

"Huh...... It's just a joke. Angelus closed the soundproof position, as the conversation below was no longer classified.

"Is there anyone else in the house?"

"Well, there's Mother here."

"That's the right time to go back and have a look. I'm afraid you'll be very busy in the future......"

"yes, I do. And Daddy Farrell said he had a new goblin there to finish, and asked me to go over and help. Angrus grabbed the coat from the back of his chair and put it on his hand casually, "Just enough to rest for a few days." ”

"I hope that a new 'Heavenly Knight' will be born."

"There will definitely be. Daddy Farrell's skills have always been the best, and every time I go to him, there are surprises waiting for him. ”

"Hehe, indeed."

Thinking of "Daddy Farrell's" slightly blessed appearance, even the tired old man smiled.

"Also, don't forget to entertain uninvited 'guests.'"

"Got it. Go right away. ”

"Want to help?"

"Nope. It's just a few crumbs, and it will be over in a while. ”

Angelus opened the door and slowly exited the room. In the room behind him, Lieutenant General Bourvey's silent gaze remained on Angelus, as if silently reminding him not to be careless.

"Peace of mind." Angelus seemed to sense the old man's concern, and turned around to make a "V" gesture.

Seeing Angelus leave, the old man slowly withdrew his gaze.

In the harbor, the noise of celebration almost turned the once quiet harbor upside down.

A slightly damp wind came from the window, bringing with it the unique scent of early spring and a slight chill.

"Winter...... Has it already passed? ”
