Jiang Hui didn't know how things turned out like this. It seemed that in just a moment, they were in a deadly situation with nowhere to escape.
It was not a pleasant feeling to watch oneself die, but in the current situation, even if he had another pair of hands and legs, he might not be able to outrun death.
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Jiang Hui's mind, some formed and some not, some were guesses that flashed by, some were thoughts of fear and terror, and some were wild fantasies. She thought about how to struggle to survive, whether there would be a miracle, and even made a wish to the gods and Buddhas... But in the end, they all merged into a deep pool of water in an instant, returning to calm, and accepting the reality.
Because she found that no matter what she did, it seemed impossible for her to survive.
So it is true that things in the world are unpredictable. Who would have thought that she would die a second time in her life? Jiang Hui smiled bitterly and opened his mouth to say something at the last moment of his life.
The person under him didn't react at all. Dust was flying and wind was rustling. Jiang Hui's vision was not very clear. He only vaguely saw that a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the boy's closed eyes, making his whole face look a little gray, which was frightening.
Well...well, he was probably tired, so he might as well fall asleep instead of having to face the cruel reality that was about to come.
—Let it be, leave in your sleep, there will be no pain.
Jiang Hui closed his eyes slightly and wanted to lie down together. But he was afraid that Clarence, who had lost consciousness, would be blown away by the strong wind, so he simply maintained this awkward posture and waited for the end... the end.

"No, we are too far behind here, we can't catch up."
“… Look around the other side.”
"Can-"
"Don't talk nonsense. Is this what your previous superior taught you? You just need to obey and don't say so much." Solsa scolded in a low voice, feeling that he had been a little lax in command of the army recently, as there was actually a guy in the team who questioned his superior's orders.
"Yes." The young officer was reprimanded, but still felt a little unconvinced.
Solsa also knew that the other party would not accept it so easily, because their future leader was indeed a little immature in terms of his ability to control his subordinates and lacked experience. It was easy to control the ordinary soldiers, but it was not so easy to tame these guys from the elite troops. It required real skills.
This time, Solsa also supported the decision.
Perhaps in the eyes of the others, Zhou Xiuwen acted on impulse, causing confusion among several friends he made during study, and thus breaking the rules.
In fact, Zhou Xiuwen was indeed affected a lot by this. He seemed a little out of control just now. He also argued with those who tried to persuade him gently. In the end, he even cited Zhou Yuanjing's order and demanded rescue by force.
But unlike what others saw, Solsa saw another side of the other party's awakening.
He was different from the others. He was Zhou Yuanjing's direct confidant. He had been visiting Zhou's house for many years and was more or less considered an elder of Zhou Xiuwen. This was different from John Kerr's view of Zhou Xiuwen, which was completely different from his view of him.
Because in his eyes, Zhou Xiuwen is not only a junior, but also Zhou Yuanjing's only son. He is also the future leader of their army and the most core member of the legion besides Zhou Yuanjing.
Even though Zhou Yuanjing was in charge, and the other party had said that there was no need to force the growth of the child, and that they should give their only son enough time to grow, this "enough time" was also limited. Countless eyes in the army were focused on this child, and each of them was more or less urgent - they had been silent for too long.
Major General Sorsa was no exception. He had been observing this unusual child.
Temperament, aptitude and even overall perspective are secondary and can be corrected and cultivated slowly.
He had been in the army for many years and witnessed too many examples of "changing one's fate against the will of heaven". Even many of the celebrities recorded in the imperial history books started from humble beginnings. A person's lack of excellence can be changed. As long as there are enough opportunities and experiences, one can also embark on a road to success.
As the son of Zhou Yuanjing, the ninth lifetime honorary commander recorded in history books in the Ninth Star Era, Zhou Xiuwen was born different from most people in this interstellar space and was destined to be extraordinary. He also had enough resources and opportunities, which was very realistic.
So these things can be changed, accumulated, and even packaged, but some things are not easy to obtain, such as courage.
In fact, everyone was worried about the future of the army not only because Zhou Xiuwen looked weak and kind, but also because everyone could not see any trace of Zhou Yuanjing in this child. He was like smooth dough, without any edges or corners, soft and vulnerable, as if anyone could do something to him.
—It is unimaginable that such a person would lead the legion.
Moreover, the army is a place where strength is the key. Those who can lead an army are not weak and can be bullied. Even if they look like strong men on the surface, they are definitely strong inside.
Solsa has always been worried about the heir's condition, and he has been thinking about how to force him to be tougher, at least... to look good on the surface. After all, his father's body won't last much longer, and he needs the power to protect him, and so do the tens of millions of people in their legion.
Unexpectedly... they didn't need to worry about it at all. Because of this incident, the other party became tough. For the first time, he broke away from those stereotyped behaviors and expressed his personal wishes to everyone in a tough manner.
Even when he received opposition and advice from everyone, he did not hesitate and repeatedly emphasized his determination. Even when some people advised him as if he were giving advice to an ignorant child, he did not back down and directly put forward a premise that they had to accept.
The final result was naturally that they compromised, no... it should be said that Zhou Xiuwen successfully issued the order.
Although it was not written down, Solsa was very pleased with this. He even felt that Zhou Xiuwen's impulsiveness and recklessness in this matter were not that important, because he saw that Zhou Xiuwen was undoubtedly Zhou Yuanjing's bloodline, and had the same blood as his father.
So what if the other party wanted to save their friends? It was just a matter of changing a few points. Their people had already controlled most of the situation, and they were adjusting and changing at almost every point.
In this operation, Zhou Xiuwen was their superior, the one who led and commanded them, and the core of the team. In the absence of national and racial justice, his will was the will of the team, regardless of public or private interests.
He was qualified to decide all actions of their team.
But the other party will probably be disappointed, and his friendship may only be an ending, and everything is too late.
