Adrian personally led the army to go out, and it was Fein who stayed in the Na'vi star area to guard the base camp. At the same time that Adrian's letter to colleagues was released, the two connected through the military channel.
"Do you want to send troops?" Finn said without waiting for Adrian to open his mouth, "The entire military region is in a state of readiness for war, and half of the remaining troops are on the border of the Lobo star region, just waiting for your order." .”
"What about the Twelfth Legion?" Adrian asked.
Finn was taken aback. He didn't expect Adrian to ask about the Twelfth Legion. This is a heavy weaponry legion. It can be said that almost a quarter of their military expenditure is invested in this legion. The Twelfth Legion is definitely One of the most powerful and deterrent legions in the Na'vi military region, and this legion is normally guarded in the Na'vi star region and will not be dispatched easily.
"They are also on standby, in our military region, not in the Lobo sector." Finn said.
"Add the Twelfth Legion to the team that is ready to go on the front line." Adrian ordered, "Let's go immediately after they are in position, first go to the star area where the protesting school has been suppressed, you don't need to hurry, just go along Advancing along the most prosperous route, we must let the media take a clear picture of our fleet."
Finn and Adrian have fought side by side for many years, and they have already had a tacit understanding. He has fully understood the meaning, nodded and said: "Understood, Commander."
Adrian explained some more operational details, and Finn agreed one by one, and hurriedly ended the communication to make arrangements.
"How long will it take to pass this signal area?" Adrian asked.
The soldier beside him checked the operation screen in front of him and replied, "According to our current speed, sixteen minutes."
There is still a little time. Adrian nodded, returned to his room, and dialed Zhong Yan's communication.
Just after the communication was connected, Zhong Yan asked, "Ed? Have you dealt with everything?"
Zhong Yan took a detour in a signaled area. He must have seen the letter to his colleagues and knew that Adrian was currently in a signaled position, but he did not take the initiative to contact Adrian at all—he had no experience in marching. But I also know that Adrian must contact the rear base camp during this time.
Adrian seemed to be stabbed in the heart. When Zhong Yan asked this question, he didn't mean to criticize or sarcasm at all. He asked him in a calm and gentle tone like "Have you eaten?" You've already taken care of it ?, so automatically relegating himself to second place as a matter of course.
In Zhong Yan's life so far, he has received too little kindness and love. When he was seventeen years old, he met his first friend who was willing to give him these things, so he regarded this person as a friend in his own world. Everything—Adrian often feels that Zhong Yan’s feelings for him are not ordinary partners. He does not suspect that Zhong Yan does not love him. On the contrary, Zhong Yan gave all his love, which should have been given to relatives, friends, The lover's love, even the love of ordinary people, was given to him. Adrian still remembers how he felt when he heard that Zhong Yan was matched. He could hardly control his temper in public, but when he managed to lie to Zhong Yan that he had had a sexual partner before, Zhong Yan There is no special reaction, he is not a tolerant person, but he always tolerates everything about Adrian almost tolerantly. Adrian suddenly felt a dull and long pain, which stuck in his throat, making him speechless for a while.
"What's the matter?" Zhong Yan waited for a few seconds, Adrian didn't make a sound, he was a little panicked, "What's the matter? Your side is not going well?"
"It's not going well, but..." Adrian hid his face and sat on the edge of the bed in his room, and said in a low voice, "I miss you very much."
Zhong Yan also suddenly lost his voice, and after a while he said in a more gentle tone: "We have only been separated for a few hours."
"I know."
"It won't be long, when the event is completed, we will be able to meet."
"I know."
"For many years to come, for a long time, we will always be together."
"I know it all." Adrian said, he never knew that the emotion of missing could be so strong, "but I still miss you very much. I regret it. When you left, why did you just let you go? It should be more Hold you for a while, just a few more seconds."
In a place that Adrian couldn't see, Zhong Yan was sitting in a spaceship drifting in the vast universe on the other side, a little blush slowly appeared on the tips of his ears. He could hear that Adrian was in a low mood, and besides being distressed, he couldn't help being a little... excited.
He is sad, how can you be happy! Zhong Yan scolded himself not too harshly, and asked after thinking for a while: "Have you ever opened your suitcase?"
"Not yet, what's the matter?"
"Ah... not yet, then, forget it..."
"Open it now." Adrian said as he opened the box with one hand, and at a glance he saw a snow-white ball on Zhong Yan's stuffed clothes.
Adrian picked up the round, furry ball, half the size of a fist, only to find that there was a rope attached to it, like a pendant. While looking at the ball, he asked Zhong Yan: "What is this? That white ball."
"I thought you had already opened the box and saw it." Zhong Yan was a little ashamed. After he said that, Adrian went to open the box to look, as if he was childishly claiming credit. He said embarrassedly, "I gave it to you." You made a lucky felt pendant. Do you know that in ancient culture, there is a saying that the feet of rabbits can bring good luck? I specially collected the fur from the feet of giant interstellar rabbits at home. ugly… "
Adrian immediately said: "What's so ugly? No one is allowed to say that what you make is ugly! This round ball is so beautiful! I will definitely wear it every day."
If Zhong Yan knew now that he was talking about wearing it on his body instead of carrying it on his body, he would definitely stop him, but unfortunately he thought Adrian meant to keep it in his pocket every day, so he acquiesced. When he later discovered this misunderstanding, it was too late. The whole Na'vi military region knew that "the commander's family poked a felt pendant with the fur of his own rabbit's foot for the commander to wear before he went to the battlefield." , so that the family members of other officers were not to be outdone. Hanging a lucky felt pendant made by a partner on the military uniform became popular among the officers of the Nawi Military Region in the next few years. These are all later.
"It's not a ball, it's a rabbit's tail." Zhong Yan explained shyly, "I'm a bit short on time, and I'm a beginner. I originally wanted to make a rabbit's head, but it was a bit complicated, so I made a rabbit's tail."
Adrian glanced at the round, fluffy snow-white felt ball with rabbit fur sticking out in some places that hadn't been treated well, and couldn't tell what it was. He gave up the idea of looking for advantages from the real thing, and put down the pendant He bluffed out of thin air: "Wow, this rabbit tail is exactly the same as our rabbit's tail! Is this your first finished product? It's so beautiful! I knew you could learn everything quickly!"
Zhong Yan couldn't help laughing: "I know what level I am, I just want to be lucky, so stop bragging."
"I'm telling the truth." Adrian vowed, he looked at the time, "I'm about to leave the signal area, you have to be careful when you arrive at Capital Star."
"Understood, and you too. It just so happens that I'm about to leave the signal area, so please contact me again."
The communication was over, and Adrian spent the last minute of the signal time to check what the felt pendant was and what the legend of the ancient lucky rabbit's foot was. He treasured playing for a while with the snow-white ball that Zhong Yan poked out for him. He was going to hang it on his waist, but he found it wasn't conspicuous enough, so he hung it on his left chest, which seemed too deliberately obtrusive. He put his military uniform on The jacket was studied carefully, and finally hung on the button of the left-hand pocket.
Adrian brought three legions this time, which is not too much for their total strength, but in order to ensure the marching speed, this is already the limit, and the first three legions were originally the main elite troops. The two army chiefs of the First Army and the Third Army were chatting in the war room when suddenly the door of the war room was pushed open.
"Commander!" The two army chiefs stood up and saluted when they saw the person coming. Adrian returned the half salute and said, "Sit down, it's okay, you guys talk about yours, I'm just here to ask..."
He paused for a moment, didn't think about what to ask at all, and continued after a few seconds without changing his face: "Ask how long it will take for us to arrive."
Commander of the First Army: "..."
Commander of the Third Army: "..."
Why don't you go to the cockpit and ask about this kind of thing? They are not responsible for this either
Adrian approached them as if unintentionally, while deliberately standing with the left half of his body facing them. The military uniform of the Na'vi Military Region is black, and there is a snow-white ball hanging outside his pocket, which is very conspicuous. The commander of the First Army He is a veteran, he instinctively sensed that the matter was not simple, so he cautiously did not speak. The commander of the third army is a young man, so he asked without thinking, "Commander, what is this ball on your clothes?"
"What kind of ball? This is the tail of a rabbit. You have never raised a rabbit." Adrian, who has raised more than one rabbit, said triumphantly, "The family members at home made it for me, using the interstellar giant we raised at home. Rabbit fur—hey, let’s talk about Zhong Yan. It’s useless to do these things all day long. I said no to doing them. I have to say that rabbit feet are a symbol of luck in ancient culture. This is specially made from the fur of rabbit feet Yes, talk about tossing and not tossing. Oh yes, and he didn’t know how to do it at first, so he learned it specially to give me some luck. Oh, you know that felt pendants are very annoying to do, and they are easy to get injured... "
The head of the first army covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly at him. The head of the third army, who was single until now, was stunned by this sudden violent blow. He listened to Adrian's eloquent talk for five minutes, and finally Adrian finally finished speaking. He still couldn't finish it and said, "Why are you two here? Where's the commander of the Second Army?"
"He went back to his room first!" The commander of the Third Army betrayed his friend's whereabouts without hesitation.
Adrian nodded in satisfaction and said, "I'll ask him if he knows how long it will take."
An hour later, all the senior officers on the ship were forced to understand that the ball is not a ball but a rabbit's tail, what is the legend of the lucky rabbit's foot, and that the giant interstellar rabbit in the commander's house was plucked for the fur on its feet.
