Chapter 172

The insect swarm that attacked the Duke of Hawke happened in the middle of a snowy night. The low temperature made the insects not very fond of the ice field of Hawke’s generation. However, this night, the insects were uncharacteristically attacking the Principality of Hawke in the snowy winter night. .

In fact, a week ago, the community governments of the Principality reminded all the gathering places to be careful not to go out at will. There may be insect disasters in the near future, and they have entered an emergency preparation period. It was cold, and few people went out, so when the alarm sounded, people were a little confused, and even thought it was a false alarm.

However, in the sky covered with snowflakes and thick clouds, black swarms of insects buzzed past, letting everyone know that this was not a dream, nor was it a false alarm. The Zerg Legion really attacked Hawke.

The Second Army's garrison in Hawk immediately went into battle, and at the same time sent people to the place where the swarms gathered to find and dismantle possible sound wave equipment.

When the sky was slightly bright, the insect swarm was wiped out and dispersed by the mecha team that arrived in time, but the insect swarm still gathered and continued to increase.

At the beginning, some people suspected that the sound wave equipment was installed on the mobile equipment. In the vast Principality of Hawk, it was still snowing, and there were trees everywhere. It was too difficult to find a camouflaged sound wave equipment. The swarms began to gather for the next more violent attack. Attack, the situation is extremely serious.

In the Star Valley Fortress, Brigadier General Rebecca said loudly: "I don't agree to ask for help from the coalition headquarters so early! We currently have the advantage! The battle has just begun!"

Commodore Gauss did not speak, Rebecca glared at Shao Jun viciously: "Where is Commodore Blake? Is he really sick? Don't think that we are temporarily compromising here, because we are really afraid of you. Trapped here, Blake managed to come back to the Star Valley Fortress once, but he didn't go back, and then fell ill for no reason. Do you think the coalition command will not suspect? Major General Shake was secretly arrested, and everyone knew it. A few days ago It was Brigadier General Blake who was still awake and able to appease his cronies, but now he suddenly fell ill. Do you think his cronies and direct troops at Fort Walton will let you keep this secret? The Second Army will soon face Split! Then you will face a felony!"

"The battle has just begun, and if you ask for help, the Second Army will become a joke of the coalition! The people of Hawke will also be disappointed in us! Are you the marshal of the alliance at all? Legion destroyed!"

The more Rebecca thought about it, the more suspicious she became, she stood up and asked Shao Jun, "Who are you?"

Shao Jun said lightly: "Such swarms have been encountered in Star Valley Fortress before. You can ask the squadron stationed there. The swarms are attracted by the sound waves of female insects. As long as the sound wave equipment does not stop, the swarms will continue to flow. , endlessly, until the entire legion is exhausted and defeated, do you want to wait until this time? When everything is exhausted, do you call for help?"

Rebecca was speechless.

"We checked, but we couldn't find the sound wave equipment. This equipment must be installed on a certain mobile facility, and there should be more than one. The swarms will only continue to flow. If you persist, it will only be consumed in vain. And the final outcome , is still asking for help. Since the ending is the same, we might as well preserve our strength."

"In addition, I can't help but tell the two brigadier generals that the new leader that the Alliance Marshal prefers is Blake."

Rebecca's face froze, and Shao Jun looked directly at her: "So he is sick."

"Our current path can only preserve our strength as much as possible. No matter who is sent by the coalition forces to take charge of military affairs, I hope General Rebecca can preserve your strength as much as possible, protect yourself, and wait for the opportunity. Wait for the major general to come out, please believe this One day will definitely come, the person who is truly anti-human and perverted and full of evil is the Alliance Marshal, and he will definitely fall."

"The task of the two brigadier generals is to protect themselves and wait patiently. Don't consume indifferently. This is a man-made pest plague. It is aimed at us. The people of the Dukedom of Hawke have been implicated by us. As long as the rescue comes as soon as possible, they Once the goal is achieved, the bugs will naturally be removed.”

Rebecca's body trembled slightly with excitement: "Why should I believe your words."

Shao Jun thought for a while: "I heard that you also graduated from the Alliance Military Academy, and you are also an outstanding graduate."

Rebecca was a little puzzled, and Shao Jun said: "There is a tradition in the graduation ceremony of the outstanding graduates of the Alliance Military Academy, which is to present the Medal of Outstanding Graduates that you have won to your most important person, or relatives, or lovers. In short, you must He is the person I trust the most.”

Shao Jun took out a gold medal, and an eagle on the snow peak raised its wings, proud and full of strength.

Rebecca took the medal, turned the medal over, and she saw the year of graduation and the name of the graduate, Xia Ke.

She raised her eyes to look at the taciturn captain of the personal guard, and Shao Jun said: "He gave this to me when he graduated. Please believe that no one wants him to regain his freedom and soar into the sky more than me, and all the hard work is not enough. , will also be repaid and rewarded.”

Rebecca silently returned the medal to him, then turned to look at Gauss: "What does General Gauss mean?" Her tone has softened.

Gauss is still mature and prudent: "I also don't think it should be too long. We are different from before. The major general is not there, and there is no one to command. We on Blake's side can't command. Besides, once the news of Blake's disease spreads, no matter what. Whether it is the coalition forces or Blake's direct descendants at Fort Walton, they will all respond, and a long war will inevitably lead to internal instability in the Second Army, and it is easy for people to take advantage of the opportunity to provoke trouble, especially since we still have the hidden danger of Blake."

Rebecca was discouraged: "Okay, then report the battle situation to the coalition headquarters and ask for rescue as soon as possible."

Shao Jun nodded slightly, and seeing Rebecca and Gauss jointly sign the request for help, he took the order and turned to leave the meeting room.

But Rebecca stopped him: "Captain Duin."

Shao Jun turned his head, and Rebecca said: "My outstanding graduate medal was given to my husband, who was my boyfriend at the time. But five years ago, he died in the war against the Zerg."

She looked at the calm captain: "Don't feel sorry, and don't have regrets, I just hope that you and the major general will be safe and happy this time."

Shao Jun always felt that there was something wrong with Rebecca's words, but there were too many things to do, and he didn't have time to think too much, so he just nodded hastily, and left the meeting room to immediately plan the next step.

Rebecca, however, was watching the battle situation on the big screen in the combat command room, while sighing with Brigadier General Gauss: "I can't think of a person who is so arrogant and annoying as the major general, but he likes this type of person, but it's right to think about it. Disgusting personality, only such people who are always calm, persistent and unemotional can bear it, ha ha."

Brigadier General Gauss didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only agree with the other party: "Yes, Captain Du Yin doesn't look like a show, but he is a type that people can trust."

Rebecca said: "I thought that only a robot could endure the major general's stinky temper of the young master who pursues perfection."

Commodore Gauss smiled: "You are also hard-spoken and soft-hearted. The major general actually treated us very well. Blake... Could it be a misunderstanding?"

Rebecca shook her head: "In retrospect, there is indeed a clue." She shook her head: "The marshal has wanted the second army for a long time, and it took a lot of effort to create this opportunity. I think I still trust the major general, at least he It is true that there is no real estate property under his name. Although I don’t believe that there are people in the world who are so selfless, he should have other pursuits. Anyway, it must not be an ordinary property like this world. Forget it, let’s see what happens. .”

The coalition headquarters that received the request for help did not respond immediately, but only told them to hold on, and it took a long time to reply that there was no army to deploy. It was not until Grand Duke Hawke personally called the coalition marshal for rescue that he replied to send troops immediately. rescue.

The Frostcrows of the Third Legion make their debut in this belated rescue.

When it comes to fighting, the Third Legion is still impeccable, as strong as ever, and has a fighting style that is never sloppy.Frostwalker descended from the sky, holding a huge sword in the ice and snow to scatter the swarm of insects. The silver lightsaber was surrounded by silver-blue free ion lightning, and the ice and snow splashed everywhere the lightsaber went. This scene of great beauty and power made people The people of the Principality of Hawke, who had been troubled by the swarm for several days, were deeply impressed.

With the rescue of the Third Legion, the Zerg gradually retreated, and there was a lot of singing on the star network. The Hawks, who have always advocated the grand poetic power aesthetics, used all their artistic talents to render the heroic appearance of the Frost Walker. The paintings and poems that passed through the swarm were continuously published on the star network, showing people's desire for heroes in the war.

And the disheartened Second Legion seems to have become a waste. Although it is not to be cast aside, Major General Xia Ke seems to have become yesterday. People eagerly picked up another new star to appease their panicked hearts.

"It was us who persisted for three days and three nights! Those star thieves delayed the rescue, and then came to reap the results!"

Hesse was furious: "If the major general is here, where is it their turn to show off their power? A group of shameless star thieves, and the quartermaster saw that they used the particle cannon they stole from us! How despicable and shameless!"

Hua Jianqin said coolly: "You also know that the major general is not here. What can be done? It's good to be able to preserve the strength. The coalition command has issued an order to the entire army. Major General Frost Crow will temporarily preside over the second army during the trial of Major General Xia Ke. For military affairs, let’s get ready, it’s okay for Blake to be unconscious, but will Rebecca and Gauss sell our personal guards backhand?”

Mo Lin looked at Shao Jun: "Captain, what should we do now? Brigadier Generals Rebecca and Gauss will definitely obey his orders." Frost Crow was in charge of military affairs. Originally, they temporarily detained and imprisoned the two Brigadier Generals in order to control the situation of the Second Army. Obviously, it is no longer possible to continue to detain the two brigadier generals. If Rebecca and Gauss were killed by the pro-guards, they might be held accountable.

Shao Jun said: "It's okay, Brigadier General Rebecca and Brigadier General Gauss are both smart people. For the Duke of Hawke and the Second Legion, they know what to say and what not to say. As for me as the captain of the personal guard, I will take care of the matter during this period." Just be responsible, you don’t have to worry, Frostcrow has been in charge of the Third Army for many years, and he is not a fool. He knows exactly what the Alliance Marshal wants to do. The Second Army turned against each other and let the Alliance Marshal succeed. In short, you just need to do your job well, and everything will be the same as when the major general was here..."

Hesse was short-tempered, stood up early and said: "The captain thinks too much about the Star Thieves, right? Star Thieves are a group of villains who do all kinds of evil and are greedy! You actually want to open the door to welcome the leader of the Star Thieves..."

"Who is the leader of the star bandits?" A leisurely voice sounded from behind.

The door of the meeting room was pushed open, and a handsome man with eye-catching gold and silver eyes stood outside the meeting room door. He was wearing a dark blue military uniform, and the belt tied around his waist made his waist look extremely thin. The overly beautiful appearance weakened the prudence of the military uniform on him, and this ordinary military uniform made him feel like a high-end fashion.

Shao Jun stood up and saluted: "Major General."

There was a smile in Frostcrow's eyes, and he spoke very softly, but everyone could hear the sense of oppression in the words: "I just met with Commodore Rebecca and Commodore Gauss, and I heard that Major General Xia Ke was detained Afterwards, the three brigadier generals were gathered in the Star Valley Fortress by the guards in the name of major generals to handle military affairs together, and then brigadier general Blake became seriously ill for no reason."

Shao Jun said: "Yes, for the stability of the Second Army Corps, the three brigadier generals have been handling military affairs together before."

Frost Crow smiled meaningfully: "Major General Xia Ke is extraordinary in martial arts. I didn't expect that an unknown captain of the personal guard beside him is also so talented. I heard that you have only been in office for a long time? It is not easy to grasp the overall situation so quickly. I There is a shortage of such people around me, so you might as well stay by my side, Xia Ke is about to die, you'd better choose another good leader."

The guards all glared at him, Shao Jun raised his eyes to look at Shuang Ya, and his eyes were full of disapproval of his drama addiction: "Thank you, Major General, for your concern. Major General Xia Ke is innocent, and the military court will return him innocent."

Frost Crow rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Then what should I do? I am a little bit reluctant to kill you, and if you refuse to serve me, then I have to close it first, otherwise the Second Legion, I am afraid Not a good command."

Mo Lin said angrily: "Major General! Captain Du Yin has a military position, so he can't deal with it at will!"

Frost Crow laughed again: "Are you the vice-captain Mo Lin? Why are you so naive? Seeing that Major General Xia Ke spoils you, have you never seen the way I lead troops? Those who don't obey orders are all on the spot. Execution, what evidence and charges do you need? Your captain, alas, I like it quite a bit, so I won’t kill it for now. Come on, let’s temporarily detain Captain Du Yin. As for when to release it, it depends on my mood. "

The personal guards behind Frost Crow immediately came up and they handcuffed Shao Jun on the back of his hands. The guards all pressed their guns, but seeing Shao Jun's calm face and no resistance, Mo Lin stopped them again. Glaring, Frost Crow looked at Frost Crow, but Frost Crow did not change his face and smiled: "Do what you should do, go back to your original post and do your own business, don't make trouble for me. As for Captain Du Yin, you should think about it more. I'm really interested in you."

Shao Jun was taken down, and Frost Crow glanced at the guards present again: "Be sensible, don't be that chicken that asked me to kill for monkeys, huh? I'm different from your Major General Xia Ke. ,be honest."

After speaking, he chuckled again, and walked away.

Hesse asked, "What should I do?"

Mo Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Be patient and wait and see what happens!"
