Upon hearing the news, Tianyang rushed into the team barracks.
In the team house, Han Shu was sitting in his chair with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette. There was a bottle of wine at his feet, and the smell of alcohol was wafting through the room. It was obvious that the captain had just had a drink.
Captain, are you serious? You are drinking so early in the morning, aren't you afraid of disciplinary action
"Oh, Tianyang is here too." Han Shu yawned. Kunlan and Cangdu, who were closest to him, both showed strange expressions, probably because they were choked by the taste in the captain's mouth.
"This is the new task that Siyan just sent out yesterday." Han Shu threw a paper document on the table. Tianyang looked at the document and saw a line of bold red font at the top of the document: Pilot Plan for the Conquest of Black Star Fort - Strategic Layout Document No. 0085.
Han Shu shrugged and said, "As you can see, we are going to start implementing the pilot plan to pave the way for the fortress war. Simply put, Four Eyes is playing chess, a very big game. Unfortunately, you and I are both pawns."
"Each chess piece has its own mission. When all chess pieces have completed their missions, then the strategic layout will be complete. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Several people in the team barracks shouted at the same time.
But after finishing speaking, Kunlan quietly touched Tianyang's arm: "What chess pieces, what chess game, what is your captain talking about?"
The young man's mouth twitched. It seems you didn't understand. Then what are you yelling about
Han Shu's drunken eyes looked at Lanmao and said, "The detailed plan will be sent to your communicator later. I think anyone who can read should be able to read it clearly. I won't go into details. Anyway, we will set off in two days."
"You can go to the supply warehouse to get a set of rations. If you need anything extra, just pay for it yourself. By the way, this pilot mission and the subsequent fortress wars will have battle lists open."
"Just like last time, it is divided into individual and team rankings, so you can do your best. I heard that the exchange items available for the battle list this time are quite rich, even complete sets of media materials are included. In addition, there are also gap items, black folk relics, material weapons and so on."
"Anyway, just give it your best shot."
The captain patted his butt and was about to leave, but suddenly knocked his head and said, "I forgot to tell you that we will be traveling with another team this time. I will introduce you to each other when the time comes. Disbanded."
Not long after Han Shu left, the details of the operation came down. Tianyang's team would work with another team to carry out the clearance operation.
At that time, they will go to the designated location and clear out all resistance forces in Black Star Fort within the target area.
The information pointed out that in this area called "Thunder Canyon", the forces belonging to Black Star Fort include several border outposts, a Divine Evil Observation Station, and three gathering places managed by Black Star Fort.
The action plan clearly states that although the gathering places are usually just a formality and do not have much loyalty to their respective fortresses, just in case, once the gathering places are discovered, they will be annihilated!
When they saw this line of information, Tianyang and his companions all looked unhappy. For the first time, they felt the heaviness of war.
The gathering places in the wilderness were often not protected by the fortress, but once they were seen as a potential enemy of the fortress, they would be ruthlessly cut off even if they lacked loyalty.
Tianyang and Kunlan were relatively better off. After participating in the family competition, they had a certain psychological tolerance for the human civil war. The two quickly adjusted themselves, and even though they still felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, they were able to suppress it.
But Jiyu and Cangdu were not like that, especially Cangdu. The ponytailed young man immediately exploded: "Why, why do we have to annihilate even the gathering place! They may not work for Black Star Fort, we just need to disperse them. We may even incite them to rebel, why do we have to annihilate them!"
Ji Yu's brows were tightly knitted together. She seemed to have thought of something, sighed, and did not join Cangdu's ranks.
Kunlan didn't even have the interest to respond. He picked up his weapon and walked out: "I'm going to train."
Only Tian Yang answered his question: "I think Chief of Staff Ling wants to put an end to the 'maybe' you mentioned. Chief of Staff Ling does not allow any 'what if' situation to occur. What he wants is to win this game safely. If you feel uncomfortable at that time, don't participate."
Cangdu looked at Tianyang in surprise: "Bai Mao, you can't carry out this mission without hesitation, right?"
Tianyang bit his teeth lightly: "I will feel uncomfortable, but I will follow orders."
Cangdu's face darkened: "I didn't expect you to be so cold-blooded."
Tianyang raised his lips slightly, but did not defend himself. Cangdu snorted, shook his long hair, and left the team house.
Ji Yu then sighed slightly: "Don't blame him, he just can't accept it for the time being. However, as long as you give him time, I think he can adjust his mood."
The only female in the team looked at Tianyang: "But you, your answer surprised me. You wouldn't have been so firm before. Now it seems that you have grown up, Tianyang."
Tianyang smiled faintly.
Ji Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a different light flashing in his eyes: "It seems that he has grown into a man worth looking forward to, hey."
The boy immediately fled.
After spending a day at the training ground, there was still not much progress in the secret skills, but Tianyang's control over the star essence did improve a little.
In the evening, he arrived at the medical center and saw Xun without waiting too long.
The girl in the sunset was so beautiful that she seemed to have walked out of a painting. When she saw Tianyang, she was surprised: "Why are you here?"
"To pick you up, and also to say goodbye."
Tianyang smiled faintly and said, "There is a mission."
The expression on Xun's face dimmed instantly. She got into the car, and when the door closed, she asked, "Is it because of the war?"
Tianyang started the car, and the blue light drove at a steady speed on the highway in the upper city: "Yes, war. We just received the mission and will leave in two days, so I thought of coming to say goodbye to you."
Xun nodded silently.
Along the way, the two did not say a word. When they arrived at Xun's apartment building, the car door opened and Xun suddenly took off a necklace.
This necklace is very simple, or rather, very plain.
It's just a colorful stone tied to a red rope.
Xun put it in Tianyang's hand: "Promise me, wear it."
"This is the amulet my mother gave me. It helped me to overcome difficulties one after another. I think it will protect you too."
Tianyang shook his head and said, “I don’t
Yes, this gift is too precious."
Xun blushed: "Who said I was going to give it to you? After this war, you have to give it back to me in person!"
Without saying anything, the girl turned around and ran, and in the blink of an eye she was in the elevator.
Watching the elevator going up, Tianyang clenched the necklace tightly: "In this case, I have to work hard to survive until the end of the war."
Tianyang put on the necklace, closed the car door, and left.
When I returned to my apartment, I saw an armed escort vehicle parked under the building. Xia Jinshi was standing next to the vehicle. When she saw Tianyang, she trotted over enthusiastically.
"Mr. Tianyang, are you back?"
Tianyang nodded and looked at the escort lane: "Has the stuff been delivered?"
Xia Jinshi smiled brightly: "Yes, everything you took last night is here. Here is the receipt, please count it. If there is no problem, please sign it for me."
After saying that, Xia Jinshi made a gesture, and a fully armed escort opened the car door and allowed Tianyang to check the bidders.
Tianyang checked and confirmed that "Twelve Movements of Dusk" and the crystal skull were among them, and signed his name with confidence.
Xia Jinshi asked the escort to carry the things upstairs, then approached Tianyang and asked shyly, "Have you had dinner?"
A faint fragrance filled his nose, and Tianyang noticed that Xia Jinshi seemed to have dressed up specially today. Her clothes were decent, dignified, and outlined her beautiful curves.
Tianyang couldn't help but take a serious look and found that although Xia Jinshi's innate conditions were slightly inferior to those of Xun and Xiaoniao, she was more mature than those girls.
It is now at its best time to be picked, fresh and juicy.
The boy's breathing became heavier for no reason. He quickly mobilized the Star Essence and used the impact of the Star Essence to distract himself. Only then did he return to normal: "Not yet. I just came back in a hurry and didn't have time to eat."
Xia Jinshi glanced at him and said, "I don't know if I have the honor to invite Mr. Tianyang to have a meal together."
"this... "
Tian Yang apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Xia. I just received a mission today and will be leaving in two days. I need to speed up preparations now, so..."
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Xia Jinshi said quickly, "Then we'll do it next time."
"Well, maybe next time."
Tianyang said a few perfunctory words and hurried upstairs. The music score and the skull were already in hand, so he had no interest in greeting Xia Jinshi. Whether it was the riddle left by Liu Jinglin or the power of the dark side, it was much more attractive than Xia Jinshi.
Even so, Xia Jinshi seemed particularly attractive tonight.
Watching Tianyang go upstairs, Xia Jinshi stamped her feet in anger. She raised her hand and sniffed hard on her wrist: "What's going on? I didn't mention that this 'Dark Night' perfume can increase my charm. Why does Mr. Tianyang look down on me? Isn't my charm enough?"
"Really? I spent half a month's salary to buy this bottle of perfume, and I thought I could get it tonight! Return it! I want a return!"
Standing by the window in the apartment corridor, Tianyang watched Xia Jinshi get into the escort car, smiled, and walked into the house.
The escort had brought his things in for him. Tianyang closed the door and immediately picked up an exquisite box. He pulled it open and inside was a shining crystal skull...
