The lights from the dinner party shone on the glass decorations on the long table, making them fragmented and shimmering. The black-haired boy... or perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe him as a young man, as he no longer had any childishness.
If Wei San hadn't been biting a piece of cake, she would have whistled uncontrollably. Apart from anything else, the Fire of the Empire was indeed a top-notch guy.
Ying Xingjue looked at Wei San, who was lazily leaning against the wall. From the moment he appeared, she didn't seem to have any special emotions. Either she was too ignorant, or... she was too confident in her own strength.
He took a step forward, and his hand hanging by his side moved slightly.
"Student Ying, you are still here." Jin Ke suddenly appeared, stood in front of Wei San, and smiled at Ying Xingjue, "The generals are waiting, let's go together?"
"You can fly?" Wei San was shocked and crushed a snack. He just saw him over there, how come he suddenly jumped over.
Jin Ke was still looking at Ying Xingjue, and when she heard Wei San's words behind her, she raised her foot and stepped back on her shoe.
Wei San, whose toe was stepped on, gasped in her heart: "!!!"
She almost let go of the plate because of the pain.
Jin Ke looked directly at Ying Xingjue, and asked him with her side hand: "Commander Ying?"
Ying Xingjue lowered his eyes, slowly took a step back, nodded to Jin Ke, raised his foot and turned to walk towards the military area. There is
a long way to go.
As soon as he left, Jin Ke turned back and warned Wei San: "Don't be alone with other main commanders."
Jin Ke subconsciously guarded against the commander of the military school Samuel, but she didn't expect that the person who wanted to fight at the dinner was Ying Xingjue, even though he and Wei San had no intersection at all. Wei
San realized Jin Ke's meaning belatedly, and she thought for a while and said: "He just called my name."
If you want to fight, just do it directly, there is no need to shout.
"I just saw him raise his hand, the commander's perception is not a joke." Jin Ke frowned: "Let's talk about this later, I'll go over first, don't stay in a place with few people."
Watching Jin Ke go back, Wei San lowered his head and moved his feet. It must be said that his step just now was really solid.
Standing in the center of the banquet were people from the First and Second Military Districts. There were General Ji Yuande and several generals and lieutenant generals from the Second Military District, all of whom came to meet the main members of each military academy.
"It's been a long time since I've seen so many outstanding students. I look forward to you fighting for the Federation in four years." Ji Yuande stood in the center and said with emotion, "The Hephaestus Competition is just the first test for you. The Star Judgment has faced real wars and should know how cruel it is. Everyone should work hard."
General Ji Yuande once led the First Military District to win great military exploits and was admired by thousands of people. He was so approachable and open-hearted to everyone, and the main members listened carefully.
"After graduation, you may become comrades, so you should be friendly to each other."
Generally speaking, choosing a military academy is basically equivalent to choosing the power behind the academy, but some students do not want to go after graduation, and can also move to other military districts as long as the other party is willing to accept them.
However, General Ji Yuande's words obviously have another meaning. Sometimes the military districts will cooperate to deal with the tricky star beast tide. At that time, everyone will be comrades on the united front.
Ji Yuande scanned and pointed out Li Ze in the middle of the teacher: "I heard that your mecha was destroyed. Is the new mecha ready?"
Li Ze stepped out of the line, stood at attention and saluted.
"Don't be so reserved. It's dinner now." Ji Yuande raised his hand and pressed down, signaling Li Ze to relax.
"Almost done." Li Ze put down his saluting hand, "It's currently being debugged."
"That's good."
Now, with Ji Yuande as the center, the circle that spreads out is basically the important figures of the current and future military region.
"Are you Jin Ke? Let's fight hard with Damocles this year." Ji Yuande specifically pointed out Jin Ke.
This circle of people all have big families behind them, and only Jin Ke suddenly emerged from a small star. It is said that he was born on an unknown star before.
In this situation, the main members of other military academies did not dare to act rashly. When they heard Ji Yuande point out Jin Ke, they all had a polite smile on their faces. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, only they themselves knew.
There are too many outstanding military academy students this year. Each of them would have been a very important seedling in previous years. Therefore, General Ji Yuande specially pushed aside military duties twice to rush over.
...
After a brief conversation, Ji Chuyu and Ying Xingjue were called away by Ji Yuande.
"What happened just now?" Ying Chenghe asked Jin Ke.
Just now, everyone was walking this way, but Jin Ke suddenly walked back quickly. He turned around and saw his cousin and Wei San there.
"I don't know, I just saw Ying Xingjue standing in front of Wei San with his hand raised." Jin Ke's eyebrows were cold, "You know what it means for the commander to raise his hand."
In addition to setting up a barrier, the commander raising his hand can also destroy the spirit of a low-level mecha soldier.
Wei San is only a super A-level, not even an S-level, and Jin Ke can attack her at will, not to mention that Ying Xingjue's perception is above 3S.
"But... why did Ying Xingjue want to deal with Wei San?" Shen Tukun didn't quite understand. "They have no intersection, and the Imperial Military Academy doesn't need this kind of means."
Even if they are unwilling to admit it, the strength of the Imperial Military Academy is enough for them to not take anyone seriously.
"Where is Wei San? Go and ask her what she said." Liao Runing turned around to find someone, and Huo Xuanshan followed behind.
Wei San was competing with his team in eating, one against four.
"Your stomach must be a bottomless pit." Ding Hemei confirmed again. How could anyone eat so much without any reaction? She had almost finished all the food on the long table.
"This dinner is good. We can hold it a few more times." Wei San touched his half-full stomach.
"You're overthinking. Such a big dinner can only be held in the imperial capital." Liao Runing said from behind her, "What did Ying Xingjue say to you just now?"
Wei San turned his head and saw that they had all come over. He nodded his chin at Jin Ke and said, "He called me, and I didn't have time to talk to him afterwards. He suddenly appeared and left."
"Ying Xingjue raised his hand, maybe to make you stupid." Liao Runing said with a deep face.
Wei San didn't understand: "Didn't he want to shake hands with me?"
Jin Ke: "...Why would he, a 3S-level commander, shake hands with you, an A-level general?"
Wei San put down the plate and hesitated: "I clearly saw that he was about to say 'hello' with his mouth, and then you suddenly appeared and stepped on me."
Everyone looked at Jin Ke.
Liao Runing: "Why did you step on her foot?"
Ying Chenghe: "My cousin and I only nod to say hello. He rarely has physical contact with people."
"Sorry." Jin Ke apologized, "I was a little anxious just now, but Ying Xingjue has his reasons for doing everything. It is impossible for him to shake hands with you for no reason."
"Maybe he wants to get to know Wei San?" Huo Xuanshan said seriously, "Boys don't need a reason to get to know girls."
"Come on, are you attracted by her dark circles?"
"Little Fatty, I don't have dark circles anymore."
"You!" Jin Ke jumped up when she heard the name.
"What is the title of Little Fatty?" Liao Runing was curious, and the others looked over.
Wei San was about to explain science to them, but Jin Ke covered his mouth.
Several people were arguing with each other. Nie Haoqi, who was standing next to them, was a little surprised: "Why do the five of them look like one team?" Is it because they are all freshmen?
Ding Hemei smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned him to look at the main teams of other military schools. They were not close
. The tacit understanding of fighting does not mean playing well and being able to fight together.
...
In the conference room, Ji Yuande sat in the top seat and looked at Ying Xingjue: "There seems to be some unusual movements on Huanye Star recently. Xingjue, you have experience and ability. After graduation, go to the Fifth Military Region and guard Huanye Star."
"Yes, General."
"Chu Yu, after winning the championship in this competition, you can rest for a few months and come with me to the First Military Region." Ji Yuande's light brain rang, but he ignored it. "The relationship in the First Military Region is complicated. You should get familiar with me first."
"I'm going to the Fifth Military District." Ji Chuyu glanced at Ying Xingjue beside him, "I also participated in the Battle of Fantasy Night, so I have experience. The two stars of the Empire together can definitely guard the Federation and prevent any star beast from crossing the defense line."
Ji Yuande's expression gradually became serious, and he knocked on the table twice with his hands: "Ji Chuyu, you are almost an adult, and we have three military districts. It is impossible for you two to stay together. Xingjue will help you defend Fantasy Night Star in the rear, and you can command other military districts."
Seeing that Ji Chuyu wanted to say something, he waved his hand: "No need to say more, the matter has been settled, you go out."
As soon as he came out, Ji Chuyu kicked the wall: "What do you mean, General, Fantasy Night Star is such an important place, and you only want you to go alone?"
"The general wants you to take over his position." Ying Xingjue said lightly.
Ji Chuyu's expression did not improve: "There are so many people who can sit in his position, they don't need me. The defense line of Phantom Night Star has been lost for many years, you and I can protect it together."
"There is no shortage of 3S mecha soldiers now."
"Are you talking about those people?" Ji Chuyu pointed in the direction of the dinner, he sneered, "Except for Zong Zheng Yue who has some ability, the others are not worth mentioning."
"It's too early to talk about graduation." Ying Xingjue lowered his head and glanced at his right hand, "Now the focus is on the competition."
Speaking of this, Ji Chuyu asked him: "Why did you go to find Damocles, the general of the school team before? Their main commander was scared pale."
Ji Chuyu couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Do you really think their Imperial Military Academy is the Samuel Military Academy and use any means?
"Nothing." Ying Xingjue lowered his hands, "It's just that there are some things I can't figure out."
"Do you also have some things you can't figure out?" Ji Chuyu's coldness dissipated, and there was a little youthful spirit between his eyebrows.
...
Liao Runing looked at the invitation in his hand, and then looked up at the tightly closed door of the Imperial Capital Star Black Factory: "Is it closed?"
"Probably not." Wei San lowered his head and went to the Shadu Star Black Factory Forum, "They are normal there."
Huo Xuanshan flipped through the invitation and pointed to the line of small words in the lower right corner: "Here is the contact information."
Hearing this, Liao Runing called first, said a few words to the person on the other end, and hung up: "They said that the Imperial Capital Star Black Factory is under maintenance and is temporarily closed."
"Then we can only go back to Shadu Star and participate." Huo Xuanshan put his invitation away and said.
Wei San was a little disappointed: "I originally wanted to see what the difference is between this place and Shadu Star."
The three of them could only go back home.
...
The second match was confirmed, and the five major military academies will set off for Shadu Star soon.
"The atmosphere when I came here is different from when I go back now." Jie Yuman stood in front of the transparent window in the starship, looking at the space outside.
"We got third place, but those bastards are not happy." Xiang Minghua was so angry when he talked about this. Forget the school team. Their main team always looks confident. Anyone who sees them would think that they are sure of the championship, but they only want to fight for third place.
Jie Yuman smiled: "We also got third place in the first match last year. We were not very happy at that time. The students were very heavy in their hearts. Now..."
"Now they are all very gloomy." Li Ze came out to supplement.
"Major... now it's time to change your words." Jie Yuman turned around, "Colonel." "
It's just a title. Now I'm just one of the team leaders." Li Ze was in a good mood. His friend helped him rebuild a mecha.
"How is it adapting to the mecha during this period?" Xiang Minghua asked.
"I'm getting familiar with it." Li Ze glanced at the students, "The second competition venue is on our Shadu Star. Let them be mentally prepared. The desert beasts are different and have fierce temperaments. It's different from the hilly environment."
The distance between Didu Star and Shadu Star is far, and it will take several days to get there. During this period, all major military academies are training in their own starships.
Wei San stayed in his room, chatting with that 'I have money' on the Rubik's Cube Forum.
More precisely, he was trying to get information about the S mecha from him.
