Chapter 48 Marching
On the top floor of the Camilla Military Commission building, Xiu, the great prince of the New Galactic Empire, who was holding a folder in his hand, rang the doorbell of a living room.
It looks like an ordinary wooden door, but it is actually a door made of pure steel that slides open smoothly.Xiu Mai walked in with his slender legs. He walked very fast, but if you were careful, you could still see that his right leg was obviously not as natural as his left leg.
The door behind him slammed shut, and he walked through the living room without looking sideways, and entered a private office.
There are already two people in the office.
Xiu saluted the standard military salute to the two people in the room, and then gave the folder in his hand to King Charles who was sitting at the head of the sofa.
"Paper documents are always best destroyed." General Manfred, who looked like a kind old man, smiled and picked up the coffee cup in front of him.
After flipping through the documents roughly, King Charles raised his head and asked Xiu, "Apart from these, what information is there?"
"Landun Star General has recently reused a supernatural being called Massa. This person's identity is very suspicious. According to preliminary judgments, he is likely to be a person from another dimension."
"The invisible man." General Manfred put down his coffee cup, leaned his body on the sofa cushions, and said slowly, "Looking for a tiger's skin, that boy Langton has really big ambitions."
King Charles agreed: "The Brent family has never been less ambitious." He frowned and his tone became serious. "If the invisible man is really ready to assist the Brent family, then the war may come earlier."
"The seeds of this war have been planted since the establishment of the empire, and it will only come sooner or later." General Manfred sighed, "It is easier to conquer the world than to defend the world. I have deeply felt these years."
King Charles smiled helplessly.
The New Galactic Empire has tens of thousands of planets, large and small, and the population is too large to count.For such a huge empire, the area that the political center, Camilla Prime, can radiate is very limited.Some planets on the edge of the empire are even in a state of anarchy.
What's more, it has only been a short period of more than 300 years since Arthur the Great seized power from the golden lion of the former Galactic Empire, the Tanley Rayan Dynasty, and the foundation of the empire itself is not solid.
At that time, his father, Arthur the Great, threw this empire like a piece of loose sand to him. In order to maintain the peace of the empire—at least the superficial peace, he worked with trembling and painstaking efforts, and finally came to where he is today.
But the Brent family, which has been powerful since the old dynasty, is like a bomb. It has been buried in the empire for too long, and now it is in a state that may detonate at any time.Over the past few decades, the new head of the Brent family, Lanton, has made no secret of his ambitions, privately soliciting and bribing leaders from various planets, and his goal is even targeting Camilla.
King Charles pressed his temple with a headache, and he really wanted to leave all this mess to his son.However, Xiu, who he is most optimistic about, has been emotionally unstable these years, and is not suitable for this position at all.It is absolutely impossible for the second son, Heather, to inherit the throne.As for the youngest son, his youngest son who was spoiled by his mother and grandfather doesn't understand politics at all!
"Father, I have one more thing to report to you."
Xiu didn't use the address "Your Majesty" but "Father", and Charles understood that what he was going to report next was a family matter.
"It's okay to say it straight."
"Heather once had a private meeting with General Langton."
Hearing the name of his beloved second son, King Charles' eyes sank, and he smiled and said, "Xiu, you have worked hard after returning from this mission. Go back first, your mother misses you very much."
"Yes."
After Xiu left, General Manfred said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I told you six years ago that keeping 'lions' is a problem."
"He did not inherit the orc gene of the lion, and his surname is Pendragon, not Tanley Ryan." King Charles pondered, "But I will send someone to investigate this matter. If Heather really chooses to rebel, we will Definitely be the first to kill him."
……
The semester is about to end, but the school suddenly issued a notice that the first-year mecha department, mecha manufacturing department and animal trainer department will go to the D11 planet in the letter D galaxy for a field march.
After the notice was issued, the list of teams came down quickly, because there were relatively few students from the animal trainer department, so each team only had one student from the animal trainer department.Ludwig, who was appointed as the team leader, received the list with his brain and found that Shen Ling was not included in the list of his group, so he immediately went to the department teacher to modify the list and replaced Caitlin in their group with Shen Ling.
The time for departure came soon, because this time the school specially prepared a spaceship equipped with a superluminal device, and it only took 11 hours to reach the planet D9 from Saint-Cyr University.So the spaceship is not big, and the seats inside are deck-style, with a table in the middle, and four people can sit on both sides of the table.
Shen Ling sat in the inner seat by the window, Ludwig was next to him, and Jinhang was opposite Ludwig.Opposite Shen Ling was Ludwig's partner, the mechanic Hicks.
The general situation of Shura field.
This was Jin Hang's first thought after taking his seat, but when he found that Ludwig hadn't raised his eyes to look at Hicks because Shen Ling was sitting here, he knew he was worrying too much.
If a single-minded idiot talks about love, he will become a loving dog just like him. What he has to do every day is to show his affection in a fancy way and blind the dog's eyes of the people next to him.Not only the IQ dropped sharply, but the eyes were also selectively blinded. Except for the person they liked, everyone else was in the form of a carrot in their eyes.
After Jin Hang understood this point, he didn't bother to care about these two people at all, and took out his brain to play the game by himself.
"That person across from you doesn't like you very much." The bored Phoenix said.
Shen Ling, who took the time to check and sort out the information on the alien beasts on the D11 planet, raised his head and saw Hicks lowering his head in a panic, pretending to be reading a book with his brain because he was found peeking.
"He regards you as a rival in love." Phoenix analyzed and said, "He absolutely hates you now. If it weren't for you, maybe he could become Ludwig's little lover."
Shen Ling took a closer look, and found that Hicks's appearance was really outstanding, especially his pair of peach blossom eyes.If it weren't for the influence of his own physique, maybe Ludwig would indeed choose Hicks. After all, one of them is a mecha pilot and the other is a mechanic. Not impossible.
"Do you want dessert?" Shen Ling, who was a bit guilty, took out the packaged cheesecake, floral cake and handmade biscuits from his backpack and put them on the table in order to divert his attention.This march is not allowed to carry any personal items except the items issued by the school, and of course the space storage device is not allowed to be carried, so Shen Ling's backpack is filled with the desserts he prepared for Ludwig on the spaceship.
"If there is dessert to eat, then I'm not welcome!" Jin Hang quickly snatched the best-looking cake carved into the shape of a rose, opened the plastic packaging and took a bite.
"Hey, Shen Ling prepared this for me!" Ludwig hurriedly guarded the food, the bastard Jin Hang could eat better than him.
Seeing Shen Ling take out the dessert, Hicks' face immediately sank. He is Ludwig's partner. Of course, he knew that Ludwig was addicted to sweets, so he also prepared desserts, and went to the famous Bought from the wooden pine cake shop.
But the cakes he bought didn't look as beautiful as the cakes that Shen Ling brought out. If they were taken out now, they would definitely be compared to Shen Ling's cakes, so it's better not to take them out.
A coldness flashed in Hicks' eyes, he picked up a cake and took a bite, unexpectedly found that the shape of the cake was beautiful, and the taste was quite good.
"This cake is so delicious. It's delicious and beautiful. Where did you buy it?" After eating one cake, Jin Hang didn't think it was enough, and picked up another one.
"My family, Shen Ling, made it himself." Ludwig proudly showed off, "He is best at making desserts, but my favorite is chocolate."
Shen Ling pursed her lips and smiled, took out the special chocolate that her mother-in-law gave him before the trip from her backpack, put it in Ludwig's hand, and said dotingly, "It's for you."
Ludwig was so touched that he almost wanted to hug his little dessert and kiss him.
Jin Hang, who really couldn't stand it anymore, raised his index finger and knocked on the table to warn, "Hey, it's against the law to show your affection in public in the empire."
Ludwig ignored him, opened the box of chocolates and took out one and brought it to Shen Ling's mouth. Being watched as they flirted made Shen Ling very embarrassed, but he opened his mouth obediently and bit the chocolate into his mouth.
"My dog's eyes!" Jin Hang screamed and covered his eyes.
At the same time, Fenghuang also complained in Shen Ling's mind, "These two people are going to disgust me to death!"
"Aren't you used to it?" Hui said coldly.
"Sooner or later, I will die from vomiting too much!" Phoenix wailed, "This way of dying is too low-grade."
Shen Ling's face was flushed by Fenghuang's words, and she quickly pulled the nagging Fenghuang into the small dark room.
Hicks, who was staring at the two of them, clenched his fists in anger, his white nails dug deeply into the flesh of his palm, and the hatred in his eyes grew deeper.
Where is this person better than himself?
looks?Family background?ability?
In terms of appearance, he has never been less confident about his appearance.In terms of family background, he is not just a nobleman of Hera, because his mother and Queen Gehela are best friends, he has known Ludwig since he was a child, and he also knows Ludwig's secrets that were not known when he was a child.In terms of ability, I am No.1 in the mecha manufacturing department, and Ludwig is still his partner. No matter how you look at it, the two of them should be a perfect match.
In what way is he inferior to this inferior student from the animal trainer department who is useless from beginning to end?
He must have used some vicious method to confuse His Highness. He remembered that the students of the Beast Trainer Department seemed to be able to awaken their soul power, which to a certain extent could also control other people's minds.
Despicable fellow!Hicks thought viciously, he must expose this person's true colors in front of His Highness!
……
After the spaceship arrived at planet D11, the teacher led the team to check the students' belongings with instruments at the gate of the spaceship, and distributed a marching rucksack to everyone.
After disembarking from the spaceship, Ludwig, as the captain, quickly summoned his team.Their team has 23 members, including thirteen students from the Mecha Department, nine students from the Mecha Manufacturing Department, and Shen Ling, who is from the Beast Trainer Department.
Shen Ling stood in the team, and he found that besides their students from Saint-Cyr University, students from other schools also participated in the march.And compared to the noisy situation when they got off the spaceship, the students from the other school were obviously more well-trained, and they stood in an orderly queue immediately after getting off the spaceship.
The teacher who led the team gathered the students and gave them the main task this time.
This time it is not just to complete the task, but also a competition between the various groups.
The content of the competition is to collect the light balls placed by the school in advance within the range of this marching activity. The information of the first person who touches the light ball will be recorded in the light ball, so the students must collect it themselves. There is no point in snatching other people's collection results.
In addition to collecting light balls, the teachers also specially prepared a bonus question.A long-eared mouse carrying an information transceiver is placed within the marching range, and the team that catches this long-eared mouse will get ten light spheres as an equivalent bonus.
The results of the march this time will be recorded in the student files. If they can get good grades, it will also be a very glorious record in their future employment.
After understanding the content of the task, the students who had never been to the legendary alien planet were very excited and eager to try to start the competition.
"In addition to our Saint-Cyr Comprehensive University, this time the Imperial Military Academy also has a team that participated in the march together. Now I will introduce to you the leader of the Imperial Military Academy this time-Heather, the fourth-year student chief of the Imperial Military Academy. Pendragon and his fellow mechanic Neil Jowett."
As he spoke, two handsome men stepped out from the queue next door.
