After the school year started, the Imperial Military Department announced the news of the joint military exercise. Carlo and Claire have entered the third year of university. Although the two of them entered the university too early and are only 18 years old, they have been working hard during school. They successfully passed the selection in the school and were included in the list of the final military exercise lineup. Both of them were students of the military command department, so the school assigned them command tasks.
This military exercise is a mode in which the entire Imperial Military Academy is divided into two large groups to fight against each other. Carlo and Claire are both assigned to Group A. Students who perform well during the exercise can receive third-class merit. Therefore, all students try their best. with all my might. Although it's just a drill, everyone attaches great importance to it. The battle situation between the two sides is anxious. In the simulated war scene, if you are a little careless, you may be blasted to pieces by the enemy's ion cannon!
Since Claire has experience in driving S-class mechas, it is very easy for him to drive the low-level mechas used in military exercises. Carlo was born in the Behe family and has been dealing with mecha parts since he was a child. The two led the mecha pilots. Nearly 100 students in the department adopted a roundabout attack strategy, cleverly broke through the enemy's defense line, and quickly pierced into the enemy's heart like a sharp knife!
The successful breakthrough of the vanguard brought confidence to all comrades-in-arms, and the large troops in the rear responded immediately, swept in like a storm, surrounded and wiped out the main force of the opponent, and fought a very beautiful victory!
The outstanding performance of Carlo and Claire has attracted the attention of many military generals, and even the Marshal of the Empire who came to watch the battle looked at the two teenagers with admiration. At the award ceremony after the military exercise, Marshal Rosen personally presented them with the honorary medal representing military merit, and they received it with both hands excitedly.
This was the first time Claire saw the legendary Marshal of the Empire - Rosen Bessemer up close.
The man in front of him was tall and burly, with strong facial features and deep and sharp eyes. Perhaps because of his long experience in the battlefield, he had a calmness and composure that no one else could imitate, as if he could give people a sense of peace of mind just by standing there. strength. He is an idol in the hearts of many people in the empire. Only with him in these years can the safety of the empire's borders be guaranteed. He has made countless military exploits in the army, and the Legion of Glory led by him is also the strongest in the empire. Legion.
Claire and Carlo respected such a powerful man from the bottom of their hearts. After receiving the medal, they immediately stood at attention and gave him a standard military salute.
Rosen returned the salute, then stretched out his hand and patted the shoulders of the two teenagers, saying: "You have performed very well, but today is just a drill, and the military has taken various safety measures to avoid the casualties of the students. The battlefield is a hundred times more cruel than this. You must remember that as a commander, a mistake in decision-making may lead to the annihilation of the entire army you lead. You must think carefully before making every decision, and at the same time Be firm, understand?"
Carlo and Claire looked at each other and said in unison: "Understood!"
Rosen said calmly: "Anyone can understand theoretical knowledge, but in actual combat, many people are so frightened that their legs are weak. I hope you will not become soft-legged shrimps that are not useful when you are on the battlefield!"
This sentence seemed to have a deep meaning. Carlo and Claire were wondering, when the marshal whispered: "After you graduate, how about coming to my Legion of Glory for an internship?"
Carlo and Claire's eyes widened in surprise.
Rosen said indifferently: "Of course, which legion to go to after graduation is up to you to decide. I will only provide you with priority admission conditions."
When Claire heard this, she was overjoyed immediately. The Legion of Glory is the yearning for many soldiers of the Empire. Among the six legions of the empire, only the Legion of Glory has been fighting on the front line for many years. Although it is very dangerous to be on the front line, there will be more opportunities for actual combat in the battlefield full of gunpowder, so that they can grow at the fastest speed. And improve, and make more military exploits. For Claire, going to the Legion of Glory is undoubtedly the best shortcut to become stronger in the shortest possible time.
Carlo hesitated a bit. He had promised to go back and marry Aidean as his wife after graduation, and since he was a member of the Behe family, he should go to the Long Serpent Legion under the control of the Behe family, but... Legion of Glory, The legion with the strongest fighting power in the entire empire and invincible in the universe is indeed full of temptation for Carlo... Think about it after you go back, anyway, there is still a long time before graduation.
After the military exercise, the news that Carlo and Claire won the third class quickly spread to Capital Star. Xi Wei happily sent Claire his congratulations, and Aidean also smiled and said to Carlo: "You are very good!" .”
Carlo, who was praised, was very happy, but when he thought about where he would go after graduation, he began to worry again.
Two years passed by in a hurry, and the graduation ceremony, which was supposed to take a long time, was held on a sunny day.
Students who have studied in the military academy for four years stood in the auditorium of the San Romia Military Academy in neat military uniforms, and received their graduation certificates from the principal one by one. Starting tomorrow, they will leave the campus and go to different legions to become a real imperial soldier.
Claire reported to the Legion of Glory without hesitation. To his surprise, General Byron, the head of the Star Legion, did not raise any objections to his son's choice to go to another legion, but said calmly: "Since It's decided, then study hard with the marshal, don't embarrass your father."
On the contrary, Mrs. Grace was somewhat reluctant to part with him, and patiently told her: "The front line is no worse than Capital Star. The conditions are poor, the weather is harsh, and life will be very difficult. And the wars have been going on for the past few years. Claire, you must take care..." Speaking of which, Grace Ruisi's voice couldn't help being choked up, she quickly wiped her eyes, and said, "Take care of yourself."
Claire said seriously: "Understood, don't worry, I will come back safely!"
After hesitating again and again, Carlo finally decided to go to the Long Snake Legion. Since General Drew, the current head of the Hydra Legion, has only one son, Brian, this cousin has never been interested in military command since he was a child. He spends all day studying mech parts with his father, Berg, and says that he will be like his grandfather in the future, becoming a An excellent mecha builder.
General Drew doted on his son and did not interfere with his son's choice. After discussion, the elders of the Behe family felt that among the younger generation of the family, only Carlo was suitable to take over as the head of the army. The other children were either too impetuous or talented, and only Carlo met the requirements. Therefore, the elders agreed that Carlo should come to the Hydra Corps as soon as possible and learn the management of the Corps from his uncle, General Drew.
Carlo can't go against the wishes of the elders of the family, and he really misses Aidean very much. Although he regrets not being able to go to the Legion of Glory, he always has to make a choice. The name of the Snake Legion.
That night, Carlo and Claire came to the roof of the dormitory together. Carlo bought two bottles of wine, handed one to Claire, and said, "There will be very few opportunities to meet in the future. Let's have a toast and treat it as a gift." You see off."
Claire took it with a smile, and the two touched the wine bottle and took a few sips of the spirits.
From the time they met at the age of five to the separation at the age of twenty, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. The two of them once worked hard to apply for the military academy in advance, and later they were allocated a dormitory in the military academy. They often discussed how to pursue their own Omega. The relationship between you and me can be described as a good brother who "takes care of each other with sincerity".
At this time, I really feel reluctant to part, but everyone has their own choice. Claire understands that Carlo, as the heir of the Behe family, has to return to the Long Snake Army. Carlo can also understand that Claire wants to become stronger as soon as possible. It seems to be worthy of Xi Wei's thought of going to the Legion of Glory to practice. After all, they both have someone they can't let go of, and they haven't caught up so far, so they can be regarded as brothers and sisters who share the same disease.
The spirits entered their throats, and the two felt emotional in their hearts, and fell silent for a while.
After a long time, Claire said, "When I'm not in Capital Planet, please take care of Xi Wei's situation."
Carlo said, "Don't worry, I'll watch him for you. If there are flies bothering him... Cough, I don't think Xi Wei will kill him without me."
Claire couldn't help laughing, and said: "That's true, he is so powerful, I don't worry about him being bullied, but, Your Majesty... Do you remember what I told you back then? If Your Majesty wants to give Xi Wei is engaged, and the object is likely to be you."
Carlo hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "I will definitely refuse!"
Just kidding, let him marry a big monster and go home, can he survive that day!
Seeing the other party's determined face, Claire smiled and patted Carlo's shoulder lightly, saying: "You should also pay close attention to the matter between you and Aide'an. I always feel that Aide'an's father, Randy, has a different background. It's not easy, maybe he will become the biggest obstacle for the two of you to get together. You have to consider that if you come to propose a marriage, you need to get the consent of your family, getting married is not that simple."
Carlo nodded seriously: "I know, I will find a way to convince them."
The two looked at each other, then raised the wine bottle to touch each other, and drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp.
The next morning, Carlo and Claire set off with their luggage, but went in different directions.
Carlo went directly to the space station and took the spaceship back to the capital star of Cepheus, while Claire took the suspension car to the landing pad of the Legion of Glory. Before boarding the battleship of the Legion of Glory, Claire asked Blue Star to send Xi Wei a message: "I'm going to the Legion of Glory, take care of yourself."
Xi Wei replied, "I know, stay safe on the front line, I'll wait for you to come back."
Although to Xi Wei, it was just a care and greeting between friends, but when Claire saw such a reply, she felt very warm in her heart.
No matter what kind of feelings Xi Wei has for him, if something happens to him, Xi Wei will be very sad. Xi Wei was waiting for him to go back in the capital, and he would definitely return in triumph! He wanted Xi Wei to know that he had the ability to protect Xi Wei in this world, and that they would come together one day.
Claire smiled slightly, took back the communicator, and took her mecha Blue Star, stepping into the battleship sent by the Legion of Glory to welcome the newcomers. The huge battleship soared into the sky, drew a perfect arc in the blue sky, and then disappeared into the sky.
