The atmosphere in the carriage seemed like white snow under the scorching sun, changing at a speed visible to people's eyes.
The instructions issued by the military school did not appoint a captain, and there was not even a list of personnel participating this time. Everything needs to be coordinated by the students themselves.
But for this first mission, even if the overall score of admission is ranked high, how much weight it has in the hearts of the students, Cassia thought to herself, the military school definitely knows. Especially since they have all undergone surgery, in the third
The growth in strength within a few months is huge and immeasurable for everyone. Everyone can be regarded as a genius selected from a large number of people. On the surface, they all look polite, but how convinced are they in their hearts?
, it’s not something they can figure out.
No one spoke, but the surrounding air gained a huge weight in a short period of time. It smelled of gunpowder, a dangerous gas that could be completely ignited by a single spark.
"Let me introduce myself first." The voice sounded again, "Gustin Evelin, overall ranking is 15, and the number of suppressor tubes is two. I once studied there for a semester in the seminary, and I have arranged some tasks.
There are also some issues with the execution, and I don’t know if I can be qualified for the position of captain. There are a total of twenty of us. If we are separated and act separately, I think it will be very difficult to complete the task of second-level soldier. And all of us are very difficult.
I don’t know each other, there are no grudges between us, so there is no need to worry about me using any tricks in the arrangement.”
"What do you think?" Gustin finally asked softly. He seemed to have thought of a countermeasure in advance for this set-up.
"Kritchens." A rather muscular man in front of Cassia said at this moment, speaking politely, "Mr. Gustin, I have a small question to ask."
"Mr. Klitsch, please tell me." Gustin said with a smile.
"Is the Evelyn family that Mr. Gustin belongs to one of the twenty-three grand dukes?"
"Of course, I think the surname Evelin is not common in the empire." Gustin replied, but he was already smiling in his heart. The influence of the family is reflected in all aspects, such as now.
"Okay, then I, Krichens, will vote for Mr. Gustin first." Krichens came very simply, but he himself gave the impression that he came from a wild background. Perhaps in terms of leading the team, he has some qualifications.
Someone with more experience will always be better than him.
"Then people from my Hill family are born to be leaders?" A discordant feminine voice sounded next to Cassia. This is a man with sickly white skin and a slender face that can be seen from above.
I saw the light makeup. He was not wearing combat clothes, but a gray-white dress with no wrinkles. He was holding a dark wooden crutch in his hands and placed it on his knees. At this moment, the corners of his mouth were raised, like a circus
The only difference between the two is the heavy makeup on their faces.
"Lee Hill." His voice was unusually soft, like the lingering chirping of cicadas in a heavy rain. It was impressive. "The Hill family is also one of the twenty-three great prince families. The heads of the family for generations have been commanders.
I was born as an official. I also spent several years in the seminary and took a complete preparatory class. I think if the twenty of us were in a small team, the number would be a bit too large. Divided into several small teams, we can maintain fast mobility.
, and can maintain one’s own vitality.”
Lee looked at a silent woman diagonally in his direction, deliberately lengthened his voice and said: "Are you right? Miss Carla Meredith? As the last twenty-three among us twenty,
As a member of the Grand Duke's family, you should have the courage to take on responsibilities at critical moments. Moreover, it is a family that excels in assassins and agents. I think in such a mission, it will suit your taste."
The woman named Kara held a medium-sized sniper rifle in her arms. The black barrel was high and her short black hair matched it well. However, this impression was inconsistent with the assassins and agents that Li said.
There is no connection at all.
"Okay." Kara lowered her voice very low, and her tone was the same as the sniper rifle in her arms. It was very hard, without any emotional fluctuations, but seemed very powerful. "Those who want to follow me on the mission, please follow me later.
Just stay behind."
Then there is no more words.
"That's enough. We will be divided into three groups and we will cooperate with each other when the time comes. Isn't this great?" Li squinted his eyes and smiled, his face shining like silverware under the light.
Gustin was left aside, the corners of his eyes twitching, but facing people from the 23rd Grand Duke family, he could only listen quietly. Seeing that Carla and Li stopped talking, he quickly continued
Added: "Of course, then Mr. Li, Miss Kara and I are three captains. You can choose whose command you will follow. When the time comes to carry out the mission, we can link up and help each other. What do you think?"
No one spoke, silence represented acquiescence.
"Then next, please introduce yourself. It would be best if you add your areas of expertise." Gustin sat down and silenced those who were dissatisfied with one sentence. But the Twenty-Third Grand Duke
Although everyone who comes from a family is dissatisfied with Gustin and the others who are sitting here, they are convinced by the power of these families. The big families have countless resources, and the children in their families should not be too bad.<
/p>
Everyone made a simple self-introduction one by one with their own thoughts in mind. Everyone listened carefully. This is the best moment to collect information about your teammates. How to choose your own team is also measured by looking at your teammates.
Standard.
As the last person to introduce himself, Cassia unexpectedly discovered that this time the overall ranking of the people in the team was all in the top two hundred, and the maximum number of inhibitory tubes was four. Compared to the 1024 that he didn't know how he got.
With the comprehensive performance ranking and the twenty-four inhibitory tubes that are functioning at all times in his body, he feels as if he has entered the "individual team" mentioned in the military school this time.
This time the mission seems to be less difficult, and Cassia feels a little relaxed. Although the difficulty of the mission has increased by one level, the quality of the teammates is indeed strong.
A good watch not only requires the cooperation between gears, but the quality and accuracy of the gears are equally important.
Everyone fell silent after the introduction, and the atmosphere in the air became strange and unpredictable again.
The heavy truck drove non-stop for two days, during which time it stopped once to let them come down to eat and rest outside to relieve the fatigue of the journey.
The car was parked a day after setting off, at night. There was no trace of Manoma around them, and even the majestic shadow of the Blanco Mountains had disappeared from the skyline.
At that time, they got off the bus at an old station built in the Qiulin area. The roadbed there already had traces of time. The station was surrounded by small patches of bulging and concave soil, with rows of overgrown
There are trees with green leaves, and you can even smell the faint fragrance of flowers in the air.
It is late spring outside the school.
The heavy truck was parked beside the old station to add water and steam. The huge body was parked on the side of the road like an indelible stain. After Kasia had eaten, he stood next to the truck and looked at the moon in the sky.
When the moon was as thin as an eyebrow, there were few stars around, and the sky was very dark, not the usual deep blue. But for Cassia, who had not been able to see the sky for several months in the military school, this was enough.
.
They didn't stop at the station for long. After the heavy truck's condition recovered, Cassia and his party stayed in the heavy truck compartment for another whole day.
When they felt the heavy truck slow down and stop in their groggy consciousness, everyone woke up with a start.
The sound of personnel from the Military School Logistics Department knocking on the iron plate of a heavy truck could be heard outside, signaling them to get out of the car.
"We're here! We're here!" people outside shouted.
Cassia was closest to the car door. He stood up and opened the metal door. What he saw was a fiery red setting sun that was about to fall. Then came the pavement, blowing yellow sand all over his face. The wind was blowing, and it was filled with hot air.
Dry heat.
There should be a station next to it, but now it has been mostly buried by yellow sand, and has been lifeless for a long time.
