Volume 1: Rainbow of the Old World Chapter 10. Letting Down

Lu Yuan shook hands with the pilot named Xu Renhan and asked, "Who wants to see me?"

"You'll know later, but since you made such a fuss, more than one person should want to talk to you." Xu Renhan knocked on the leg of the Phoenix Mecha and waved: "Do something useful, 9814

.”

The mecha replied in a sweet female voice: "As you command, Pilot." Then he turned around, picked up the ruins of the square, and started doing rough work as a construction machine.

Facing Lu Yuan's strange look, Xu Renhan shrugged and said, "Anyway, there is no standard voice for mechas in the regulations. Chatting with mechas in your free time is also a good choice."

"What are you going to do with my people?" Lu Yuan said, his tone couldn't help but be softer. After all, every official pilot rank is a major, and due to the special nature of the pilot army, the real power is often much greater than that of officers of the same level.

As long as Xu Renhan opened his mouth, it was impossible for an infantry major not to give him face.

Xu Renhan put his hands on his hips, stopped, and said seriously to Lu Yuan: "This is the Xingbei Dispatch Plaza, not a special playground for your paratroopers. I didn't let the military police put the restraint ropes on you. It was out of Major Bai's affection.

Come on, the fleet has recently strictly prohibited fights between officers and soldiers, you don’t know."

Lu Yuan was still about to argue, so he subconsciously grabbed the paratrooper's honorary dagger and took a few steps forward. As soon as his eyes flashed, Xu Renhan held down his hand. The pilot sighed and patted the back of Lu Yuan's hand, and said rather lonely:

"I understand how you feel, but rules are rules, and you really need to change your temper."

"9814 will contact me at any time, and no one will embarrass the paratroopers." Seeing Lu Yuan's hesitation, Xu Renhan comforted him, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"We'd better not keep that one waiting too long."

Walking into the Star Monument Fortress, many people coming and going had scarlet trousers on their clothes, which meant that they were all affiliated with the Fleet Headquarters. Lu Yuan squinted his eyes and wondered when so many great gods came to such a small place.

, he just looked at Xu Renhan, but the latter made a silence gesture.

There were several light mecha infantry guards outside the door of the Star Monument Drawing Room, which was captured by Lu Yuan's team not long ago. Their identities were repeatedly checked before they were allowed to enter.

"Report! Major Pilot, Xu Renhan." Xu Renhan stamped his heels and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.

Lu Yuan took a closer look at the old man surrounded by people in front of him, and immediately saluted in panic: "Report! Second Lieutenant of the Paratroopers, Lu Yuan!"

Just looking at the old man with white beard and hair, Lu Yuan felt a chill on his back, not to mention being stared at by that man for a few seconds. When the old man casually said "hmm" and looked away, Lu Yuan felt like he had been amnesty.

Take a breath.

The planetary model hanging above the drawing room and rotating on its own in a predetermined orbit emits a hazy glow. Just staring at it for a while will make you feel dizzy. The surface of the re-rising computing ball is filled with fleet syntaxians - the most powerful human beings.

Smart people have been recruited to be responsible for solving the transition data of the Deep Sky Light Monument, and their status is even higher than that of the Pilot.

To be able to command so many staff officers and masters, and to be able to make Lu Yuan, who is not afraid of heaven or earth, be as cowardly as a quail, the high status of this old man is self-evident.

Lieutenant General Shao Lusi, the flagship of the Zhou Alliance Expeditionary Fleet and the captain of the Corona space battleship.

Lieutenant General Shao waved to Lu Yuan and motioned for him to come over. Lu Yuan's steps were stiff.

, like a goose walk, much slower than normal walking. At the same time, his mind was thinking quickly about how he was so unlucky to lead a team in a fight under the eyes of the lieutenant general.

Lu Yuan walked up to the lieutenant general and shouted loudly: "Report! Lu Yuan!"

"Report on the battle to capture the 31st Star Monument Fortress, focusing on the scene of the breach of the drawing room at that time, and the force deployment of the imperial forces during the counterattack." The lieutenant general waited for Lu Yuan for a while, and then finished reviewing the chart presented by the Master. Let Lu Yuan speak.

Lu Yuan calmed down for a moment, starting from the moment of airborne landing, to the escape from the cabin, the capture of the central fire control tower of the fortress, the attack on the drawing room that was attempted to be destroyed by fire by the enemy, and the final counterattack by the defending Empire's Flood mecha troops.

"After the arrival of the fleet air force, the imperial troops still gathered outside the death light shield and never retreated?" the vice-admiral muttered, turned to say something to the fleet staff, then stared at Lu Yuan and asked: "The long-range attacks your unit has suffered In the artillery fire, are there any signs of zero-point destructive bomb preparation?"

Lu Yuan was a little puzzled and replied: "Report, if the Imperials used zero-point destructive bombs, I wouldn't be able to stand here and report to you, sir!"

The staff officer next to Lieutenant General Shao came over and whispered a few words. The Lieutenant General shook his head as if in denial. Lu Yuan could only distinguish the words "not enough" and "pretend" from his mouth shape. The Lieutenant General was no longer there. After paying attention to Lu Yuan, it took a while before the guards took the confused Lu Yuan and Xu Renhan, who was being questioned elsewhere, out of the drawing room.

"What did the staff ask you?" Lu Yuan asked. Xu Renhan said that he was simply reporting on the battle situation. There were a few strange things such as how many heavy weapons the imperial army used. When talking about zero-point destruction bombs, Xu Renhan joked that he really wanted to report the situation. If this kind of weapon used to deal with warships is thrown into the fortress, it will even save the corpse collection team, because even a zero-point destruction bomb with the smallest yield can vaporize an area of ​​fifty square kilometers centered on the explosion point into a A large crater thousands of meters deep. Only a battleship-level shield can effectively resist this world-destroying weapon.

Lu Yuan didn't think about how the captain, who had so many things to do all day long, was so leisurely and relaxed to listen to his report. In fact, he couldn't allow Lu Yuan to think about it because the next person he saw was not Lieutenant General Shao who had no interest in caring about him.

"I just applied for a commendation order from the headquarters. I want to set the 28th Parachute Infantry Group as a model. I am also considering putting you on the next batch of promotion lists. Lu Yuan, you have given me a lot of face. As soon as I land , just embarrass me, what do you want? Tell me, what do you want?"

"Sir, what do you want me to do?"

Lu Yuan stood straight in his military posture, and his face was covered with the spit of Bao Longtao, the senior colonel of the First Orbital Mobile Division. Obviously, Lu Yuan's immediate boss was very angry and could not bear to slap Lu Yuan's face with the honor dagger. This guy He had achieved good military exploits, but he openly beat his superior officers just across the wall from the captain, Lieutenant General Bao Longtao, his immediate boss. In normal times, no matter how protective Colonel Bao was, he would have dismissed this kid from his post and thrown him into confinement until the limelight was over. Only then did I dare to take it out.

"The commendation order is waived. Don't even think about promotion. Go to the Fleet Court Martial Arts Office to get your punishment. Don't fucking make fun of me. I've lost all my face! Get out now!" Colonel Bao chased away the flies. He seemed to be driving Lu Yuan out, but finally waited for Lu Yuan to touch the doorknob and called Lu Yuan to stop him.

"By the way, bring your troops back to the fleet to reorganize, and leave with the latest batch of aerial vehicles in an hour. Someone will naturally take care of you!"

Lu Yuan felt warm in his heart, knowing that the colonel secretly took care of him after all. In any case, the expedition fleet has been in combat for many years, and experienced officers have suffered more and more casualties. Someone like Lu Yuan who dares to fight hard and is supported by his subordinates

If front-line officers do not make any principled mistakes, their superiors will not fail to take special care of them to avoid damaging their morale.

Lu Yuan walked out of the Star Monument Fortress dejectedly, and the paratroopers gathered around him. They expressed their indignation that they would beat up those ignorant infantrymen again. Lu Yuan gave him a scolding and announced that he was about to return to the fleet to rest, but the paratroopers did not.

Without any sign of joy, he silently ran back to the remains of his comrades who were about to be taken away by construction machinery, and said the last prayer. Many people did not believe in God, but they also made the sign of the cross like their companions who believed in God.

"The dead are gone, but the living are like this." Xu Renhan, leaning against the ankle of the mecha, said with emotion on his face and sighed: "I really envy the relationship between paratroopers, they are like brothers."

"We are brothers." Lu Yuanduan looked at the different depths of dents, burn marks, and scratches on the Phoenix mecha. He took out a cigarette from his hidden pocket and said, "It's been a difficult night. There's a fire.

?”

Xu Renhan flipped open the lighter with a "ding" sound and lit it for Lu Yuan. The latter continued: "But you guys came so late."

"Have you seen this sword?" Xu Renhan asked the mecha to turn around, pointed at the alloy sword behind its shoulder that had been curled up, folded his hands and said, "You should be glad that it's me who's here, and not another full-length sword."

Here comes the armed Vladimir."

Lu Yuan held his head high and refused to say anything more. Xu Renhan chuckled and said, "You should be lucky that the only pilot you know is me."

"What else? Are you going to beat me down on the spot?!" Lu Yuandeng suddenly became angry and glared. The momentum subsided as soon as it arose. He smoked until only the cigarette butt was left, and said dejectedly: "You don't have to stab me overtly or covertly.

, it’s because I’m not worthy of Bai Jiyue, it’s because I’m sorry for her.”

Xu Renhan's handsome face suddenly turned red. He clenched his fists with his hands and cracked his knuckles. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's why I specifically applied to come here. I want to see with my own eyes what the person Major Bai selected looks like now, Lu Yuan! You know the 501st Iron

How many people in the Yutuan want to kill you!"

But Xu Renhan unclenched and clenched his fists, he repeated it several times, raised his head and said: "Major Bai volunteered to decoy the fleet after the Sentinel Battle, and it has nothing to do with you. I will inform you as soon as there is news in the future, 9814

!”

The Phoenix mecha opened the cockpit, lifted up the pilot and stepped in. Before closing the cabin board, Xu Renhan turned to stare at Lu Yuan and said word by word: "Don't let her down, paratrooper."

Until the aerospace plane left low-Earth orbit, these words were still echoing in Lu Yuan's mind. He looked melancholy at the wreckage of the fighter plane floating outside the dark and infinite low-Earth orbit. Rather than being buried in space, he would forever become this desolate planet.

For pilots on this part of the planet, paratroopers are lucky.

The destroyed imperial warships in orbit around the planet were like a star ring, surrounding the Eagle Valley star. The newly rising light of a strange sun in a strange galaxy shone into Lu Yuan's pupils. He looked at the majestic corona, which was the same color as the universe.

The horn blocked all the stars behind it, as if the universe itself had become a foil to the greatest machine ever created by mankind.

It carries all Lu Yuan's hopes and dreams.
