A burst of melodious music sounded, and a soft female voice came from the multi-function bracelet next to the pillow: "Lieutenant Ellen Braffer belongs to the 37th Experimental Unit." Please report to the standby room immediately. ”

"Eh~~~ doesn't it mean that you can rest today?"

Ellen reluctantly got up from the bed. Looking up at the bracelet, it was exactly seven o'clock - usually the time to finish the morning training and start eating.

"Really, it's a rare opportunity to sleep in......"

Ellen muttered quietly as she quickly tidied up her clothes.

Three minutes later, a spirited Ellen stepped out of the room with brisk steps.

"Yikes! You can't ...... anything."

Ator and Norman, who were in the next room, also opened the door at about the same time, one after the other.

The three Xiangshi glanced at each other, and at the same time spoke: "Report to the standby room?" ”

They exchanged glances with each other again, and then asked in unison, "You too?" ”

……

"Norman, Norman, did you make a mistake when you closed the team yesterday? Honestly, who bullied the child yesterday! ”

"Wow! It's all a bunch of coarse old men with thick skin, and I don't have an appetite. ”

"Don't play dumb with me," Ellen kicked Norman half-truthfully, "I saw it all!" You saw that, Dipresa, right? Those two girls in white. Hmph, hum! It's really getting more and more excessive, the little girl is still so young, she must not be an adult. You beast! ”

Early in the morning, he was accused of being an animal, and Norman, who was already languishing and pale, looked a little "hideous" invisibly.

"Hey! Familiar is familiar, and words can't be nonsense. I'm not the only one on the ship...... Besides, with your beautiful eldest lady here, why should I be willing to go far? ”

As he spoke, Norman bared his two large fangs and aimed at Ellen's neck with a slightly hungry gaze.

Norman used this trick to scare away many young girls. But it's a pity that Ellen doesn't sell his account at all: "Less, you serious eater." If you want to do it again, will you wait until today? Don't scare me with this, Miss Ben is not afraid...... Feed! Deeppresa, why are you so far away? ”

"Huh? Miss, are you talking to me? ”

Tor tried his best to pretend that he didn't know the two of them.

"Sample, rebellion, you!" Norman, who never got the upper hand every time he quarreled with Ellen, was obviously unwilling to let go of Thor, who wanted to stay out of the matter, "Dare to pretend not to know me!" Hey, come to your senses! ”

"Help, help~~~"

The three of them played all the way to the standby room.

"Huh? Uncle and sister are also there. ”

Only then did he walk into the standby room and sit down, and the sharp-eyed Ellen saw an acquaintance in the seat next to him.

"Ellen? You're here too. ”

Uruka smiled in response to Ellen's greeting, but Bonlade protested indignantly.

"Don't call me uncle!"

"Hehe, what does it matter~~~ Uncle is originally an uncle."

Bonlaide blushed and almost jumped up from his seat: "Don't call me uncle!" ”

"Ahem!" After the podium, the middle-aged officer with a solemn and serious expression let out a soft cough, "Captain Ellen Braffer, and Beron Bonrider Magician." Please pay attention to the image. ”

"Yes!"

Ellen stuck out her tongue mischievously and sat down obediently. Bonred also shrank back to his seat.

"Hey, do you know what's going on?" Norman sat down and rubbed Bon Ryder gently.

Bonlaide shook his head with two big dark circles under his eyes: "I don't know." I just ......" he gave a big hiccups.

"Big sister, do you know?"

Uruka on the other side also shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Subsequently, many lieutenants approached the standby room one after another. They talked in small voices, asking for news. However, it is a pity that the lieutenants present all suddenly received the order to report for duty, and no one knew the actual situation.

Almost another ten minutes passed, and the huge standby room was full.

The soldier in charge of signing put away the roster, then saluted with his right hand on his shoulder and reported loudly to the commander: "Report!" All assembled! ”

"Well, hard work." The middle-aged officer also touched his shoulder with his right hand and returned the salute.

As they had a brief conversation, the slightly noisy standby room gradually fell silent.

"Ahem." Still a light cough. The middle-aged officer with a serious expression slowly stepped forward and stood in front of the podium. He naturally propped his hands on the podium, leaned slightly and spoke: "Everyone, the elite of Harast Fortress, the brave men of Valhasa. Today is a day to celebrate. Before officially announcing your appointment, I would like to congratulate all of you on behalf of the Headquarters for Unification and Cooperation. I wish Valhasa eternal prosperity and good fortune! ”

“…… Yesterday, under the heroic battles of all of you, the air thief group calling itself the 'Blood Lion' suffered an unprecedented major blow. Thanks to the hard work of our marines, those despicable guys even lost the armed floating ships that they relied on to show off their might! Ladies and gentlemen, you are heroes! A model for this new era! We are proud of you! ”

Although the podium was full of enthusiasm, the performance of the audience was a little cold. The full table of lieutenants did not squint, and sat respectfully to listen to the commander's "lecture". However, these high-sounding words do not mean much to them. They are different from those second ancestors who rely on family connections to transfer to the army and mix military merits, and behind every promotion there is a test of wandering and the edge of life and death. Rather than compliments that don't have any substance, they would welcome a day or two off.

“…… In response to the increasing frequency of air piracy incidents and the gradual rise of terrorist attacks. Our army urgently needs a rapid reaction force that can always respond in a short period of time and be put into battle as soon as possible. Therefore, in accordance with Order No. 3074 of the Headquarters of the United Cooperative Operations, and with the authorization of Her Majesty Empress Shifria, the First Independent Fleet of Valhasa was officially established in January 6005 A.D. ”

The middle-aged officer paused slightly, and then said in a more enthusiastic tone:

"You have won the unanimous praise of the United Nations Headquarters for your excellent performance. In order to live up to this honor, all of you here should prove your worth with more practical actions. ”

He waved slightly. The logistics soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately sent the documents that had been prepared to each of them.

"The First Separate Fleet is an emerging force. Its growth and development will require your strength. If you are willing to join the 1st Independent Fleet, please sign the document and complete the transfer procedures. I believe that all of you here will make an informed choice......"

……

"Sister Anas, what are you going to do?"

Ellen looked at the document in her hand hesitantly. However, Uruka beside her was very crisp, and immediately signed her name after reading the document at a glance.

“…… Get a chance to enter the Srodvan Magic Workshop; regular professional training; There is also a professional guidance from the Wizard Craftsman. Such a good thing for me to pay for tuition, I will do it! ”

- Uruka is the standard research freak.

Once again, Ellen confirms this fact.

"Uncle, you ......"

On the side, Bonlaide seemed to have two more glittering coin symbols in his eyes. He kept his saliva and muttered: "Double pay, paid leave, three days off a week......"

- Again, it's better to ignore him.

“…… Athor, Norman. What about you? ”

"It doesn't matter. It's the same everywhere......" Norman flipped through the pages and signed nonchalantly.

"Go. A must go! Ator cautiously signed his name, "Senior Angelus, Senior Fang Qiuling, and Orange Martial Arts Chief." A must go! ”

"Hmm~~~" Ellen pursed her lips slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression: Go? Or not?

……

"From this moment on, all of you here are members of the glorious First Independent Fleet. Although there is no change in your ranks, please note that all the ranks of the First Independent Fleet are 'Special'. The 'special' rank is one notch higher than the regular rank. In other words, all your powers and benefits will be raised by one class. ”

"You can also enjoy a short vacation before you report to Valhasa. The Jewel Princess, which was attacked by air thieves, has basically completed repairs, and the estimated departure time is 16:37 p.m. You will have the pleasure of boarding this cruise. ”

"Of course. This civilian ship has already been targeted by air thieves, and it cannot be ruled out that air thieves will attack again. Therefore, you should also be vigilant at all times during the holidays. Lieutenant Commander Safir Angloust, Second Chief of Staff of the First Independent Fleet, will be in charge of the defense of the Jewel Princess. ”

"Do you have any questions?"

"Excellent! Not to be the elite of 'Ilamunsa'! ”

"Disband!"
