The days after Lu Jingning started school were as peaceful as ever.
Go to class when it is time to go to class, and sleep as usual when it is time to sleep in class.
Probably because the make-up lessons at the end of last semester were quite effective, which made him more open-minded in his idleness.
What are you afraid of? He has a boyfriend and prospective fiancé, Wen Xingchen, who is always on call, and the make-up lessons are very curative!
Exams or something, just a trifle!
As a scumbag, even Lu Jingning himself felt that he was overly inflated.
And just one month after the new semester passed without knowing it, a confidential message was sent to the principal's office where Bing Cang was.
He read it at a glance, and the vicissitudes of life between his eyebrows involuntarily became more intense.
Although he has been secretly fighting against the Zerg, Bing Cang never thought that this day would come so soon.
In an unknown remote galaxy, a small-scale war broke out just a few days ago.
During this battle, the high-concentration energy body transported by the empire was intercepted midway, and the special operations team responsible for the transport suffered heavy casualties.
This battle didn't seem to cause much of a stir, but anyone who knew a little bit knew what it meant for this energy body to fall into the hands of the Zerg.
The time that can be left for them to prepare for human beings may be shortened by at least ten years.
Ten years was severe enough for them.
It is precisely because of this that the matter of conscription cannot be delayed. The Imperial Military Department officially issued an order today, ordering the major military academies to recruit recruits and formally start the formation of a joint alliance army.
This move, in a sense, has officially established the first step in the war against the Zerg.
Considering that the current senior students have basically been recruited by the major legions in advance, this time the conscription is mainly for students who are juniors and below.
When the school announced this information on the school website, it was undoubtedly like a huge stone falling into the lake, causing an uproar immediately.
These students at school naturally don't know the seriousness of the matter.
For them, the ultimate goal of entering the military academy is undoubtedly to have a place in the military, and right now, it is obviously an excellent opportunity for them.
Anyone who has a little ambition has shown enough enthusiasm.
Lu Jingning should have been very interested in this kind of thing, but seeing the crowds at the registration office, he couldn't help but frowned in doubt: "It's a bit strange."
Wen Xingchen couldn't say that he had big ideas, but Lu Jingning came with him when he said he was going to come. Hearing what he said suddenly, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Jingning pointed to the propaganda posters pasted outside: "Not to mention how long it has been since the empire has had such a large-scale public conscription, but this time the new legion is actually formed jointly with the federation, don't you think it's a bit unusual? ?”
Wen Xingchen glanced at the poster, and was silent for a moment: "The foreign enemy that requires the two countries to form a joint force to jointly defend against it can only be..."
Lu Jingning's eyes flashed: "It's Zerg."
Although the Empire and the Federation have always maintained a friendly diplomatic relationship, in fact, it is only peaceful on the surface.
Those high-level managers have never been convinced by anyone, and they have fought openly and secretly. Now that they can decide to join forces, it can only be the alien race that is so powerful that they have to be vigilant.
Combined with all the previous experiences, the answer is ready to come out.
Lu Jingning stood there for a while, and instead of walking towards the registration office, he patted Wen Xingchen on the shoulder lightly: "Let's go, Brother Wen."
Wen Xingchen glanced at him with a half-smile, "Okay."
…
When Bing Cang received the registration list for the past few days, it was no surprise that he found Yan Hebin's name in it, but he did not see Lu Jingning and Wen Xingchen.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help laughing: "These two brats, are you waiting for me?"
However, he had no intention of hiding this matter, so he directly sent a message and called the three of them to the principal's office.
When Lu Jingning arrived, he only saw Bing Cang holding a list in his hand, standing in front of the French window with his back to the door.
Knocking on the door, he shouted: "Principal, here we come!"
Bing Cang turned around and smiled, beckoned them to sit down, and poured a cup of tea for each of them himself.
Such treatment is unavoidably flattering.
However, Lu Jingning didn't take this kind of thing at all, and asked with a smile on his eyes, "Just speak up if you have something to say, principal, why are you playing polite with us?"
Bing Cang was not angry when he heard that, he just handed the list in front of them and smiled kindly: "This is the list for the elite team, take a look?"
Lu Jingning scanned it hastily, and saw many familiar names on it: "Elite team?"
He didn't expect that apart from the large-scale conscription outside, there would be such a skill.
Although those students who signed up will have to go through various evaluations and screenings, they are obviously completely incomparable with this directly selected elite team.
Bing Cang nodded: "Whether it is the major military academies of the Empire or the Federation, they will submit part of the list during this period. As for the failure, that is the decision of the superior."
After he finished speaking, he paused slightly, before saying: "Although some things are not easy to reveal too much, but regarding the nature of this joint force, I think it's better for you to understand."
However, he did not disclose too many details, but simply explained the current situation to the three of them.
Sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing, but if you know too little, it is more likely to make people act blindly.
Bing Cang is a person who has personally experienced war and knows the unknown on that battlefield.
The three people in front of him are the best among the freshmen of the Imperial Navy. Out of selfishness, he is willing to let them bear some unnecessary burdens in exchange for more chances of survival.
Although the military order is like a mountain, they are still young after all, and should not make a wrong judgment at a critical moment because of ignorance, and bury themselves on the battlefield.
Although Bing Cang's tone was very calm when he explained, Lu Jingning was not a fool, and he couldn't hear the good intentions of the old principal.
The current situation is almost in line with their previous guess.
After Bing Cang finished speaking, he took a deep look at them: "After the new legion is assembled, it should soon enter the stage of dispatching missions at any time, because these important information cannot be known to too many people. I probably don’t know too much about the situation. Telling you this is not just to keep you vigilant, but also to protect the safety of other students. Can you understand this?”
Wen Xingchen replied: "Principal please rest assured, we will pay attention."
Bing Cang nodded and looked towards Yan and Bin.
From the beginning to the present, he just stared at the list in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
The expression between Bing Cang's eyebrows moved slightly, and he called out his name.
Yan Hebin seemed to have just come back to his senses: "Yes, Principal?"
Bing Cang was silent for a moment, and said: "I know you have been waiting for this opportunity to get in touch with the Zerg for a long time, but you must remember that in front of personal feelings, you are first and foremost a soldier. If there are any differences in the course of action in the future , everything must obey Lu Jingning's arrangement."
Lu Jingning was caught off guard by the CUE, and couldn't help blinking: "So I'm the one with the highest authority?"
The more he thought about it, the more beautiful he felt, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Principal, have you finally discovered that I have the potential to be an officer?"
Bing Cang couldn't help being a little speechless about his narcissism, and he didn't make trouble: "You can think so if you want."
While speaking, he secretly glanced at the person who was smiling and silent beside him.
He had heard about the relationship between the two, and the reason why he handed over the final authority to Lu Jingning was, in a way, because he knew that with Wen Xingchen by his side, he would definitely be able to handle it very well. .
…
Probably because the recruitment priority of the elite team is higher, the military department quickly sent back feedback, asking these military students who were elected to report to the new army in advance.
The Imperial Navy has selected a total of ten people this time. Apart from the three members of the task force, Cen Junfeng and Qin Yuankai, who have been on a mission to the Watcher Island before, are also acquainted with Lu Jingning.
Cen Junfeng looked very excited, and greeted them from a distance: "Hi, brother Lu! We will be real comrades in arms from now on!"
Lu Jingning swept across this bright little face expressionlessly.
Sure enough, those who don't know have no fear. Looking at this exciting demo, people who don't know may think that they are going to travel to the stars with public funds.
The place where the new legion gathered this time is an asteroid at the junction of the Empire and the Federation, which has no name and is numbered SY9989.
In order to establish this new legion, the military department has already started preparations.
When Lu Jingning and the others arrived, they could see a dark-colored building located in a desert. It looked serious and indifferent, with a sense of oppression unique to the legion.
Even though the distance was far away, it was enough to make their backs stand up subconsciously, and they felt that they were about to become a real soldier.
Because their elite team was the first batch of recruits to arrive. When they got off the ship, they saw a lifeless barrenness with almost no popularity.
A group of people who arrived earlier were gathering in the open space outside the troop gate. After seeing the newly landed ship, they subconsciously turned their heads and looked over here.
There is curiosity in this line of sight, but more vigilance and exploration.
It's a very normal state of mind. After all, everyone starts from scratch. They say they are comrades-in-arms. In a way, they are actually an absolute competitive relationship at the same time.
Although everyone is an elite, no one knows who will be the first to stand out.
The recruits assembled today include those from the Empire and some from the Federation. Because of the different colors of their military uniforms, they can be easily distinguished at a glance.
What's more, for creatures like human beings who like to cuddle together, they have long habitually chosen their own camps without knowing it.
The white camp of the Empire and the white camp of the Federation stood in a circle. Although it was said to be an alliance army, two factions had inevitably emerged.
Lu Jingning didn't have much interest in those strangers in the Federation.
What surprised him was that although he knew that a top military institution like Yinying Starcraft University would inevitably select candidates to push, he really did not expect to see Tang Jiaze's figure in it.
Of course, Tang Jiaze also saw the person coming, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he gave an inexplicable "tsk".
In fact, in his senior year, he had already been hired by the Fifth Army Corps, but as one of the few insiders of Yinying Star University, he considered it again and again, and finally gave up the excellent opportunity voluntarily and chose to join the Among the new legions.
Although a regular army like the Fifth Legion has an iron rice bowl, it is extremely difficult for a civilian like him to get ahead under the well-established rules and regulations.
But the New Legion is different.
If he wants to get to the top earlier, sometimes he has to bear corresponding risks.
Only by truly standing on the battlefield can we climb higher.
The astonishment in Lu Jingning's eyes flashed away.
After all, he was an old acquaintance anyway, and it was not easy to meet him in this remote place.
He bypassed the recruit lineup on the Federation side, and was about to go to say hello, when he heard a sneer in his ear: "Which military academy sent this student? Isn't it the elite team? Why is there an Omega?"
Lu Jingning's steps paused slightly, and there was an unexplained smile in his narrowed eyes.
Well, this feeling is really familiar after a long absence.
