    Chapter 14 Fortress (3)

    To trace the past of Yin Beidou Fortress, we have to talk about history.

    One year in the calendar of the new empire, only one year after the establishment of the new human interstellar empire, the founding monarch Kaios the Great reorganized the imperial corps, and the Yinbeidou Interstellar Expeditionary Force was established, and the battle flag pointed directly to the distant stars.

    Thus began the first holy battle.

    Emperor Kaios was a generation of iron-blooded monarchs. This emperor personally ended the dark rule of the old empire, and then marched to the distant stars.

    During his lifetime, he launched a total of five far-planet battles, which later generations will collectively refer to as the "Sacred Battles".

    Where the cannon fire of the starship passed, the alien creatures were almost completely wiped out and expelled, and the territory of human civilization was expanded by a third, until it reached the current territory of the empire.

    The emperor also set up three military fortresses one after another on three alien planets suitable for human habitation, as the stronghold of Yin Beidou, and ordered the army to be stationed for a long time to establish a military defense line that can be attacked and retreated. Since then, human beings no longer have to live under the shadow of panic that aliens will invade at any time.

    And Kaios the Great himself died in the fifth sacred battle, and the news was sent back to the empire, and the whole country mourned and all the people wept.

    For the founding emperor who loved war, and his famous sacred battles, some people said that it was beneficial for the future, and some people said that it was military use.

    But in any case, historians of all factions have to admit that without the Great Emperor, there would be no human empire and the distant interstellar pattern, let alone the three steel fortresses on the three alien stars.

    Jiang Jianming and Tang Zhen walked side by side on the narrow passage of the first fortress, talking while walking.

    "That Mr. Huo Lin has a very funny temper." Jiang Jianming smiled thoughtfully, "Has anything happened to him before?"

    Tang Zhen: "Huh?"

    Jiang Jianming: "The young master and the young lady of the oil bottle who came to the faraway star killed his soldiers or something?"

    "God, how did you guess..." Tang Zhen exclaimed, "This officer Huolin was in the advance team before he was responsible for bringing new recruits, and then he was the only one left in a team, so his temper..."

    He shook his head, "Xiao Jiang, let's put up with him for a year, just wait until the transfer is gone."

    The two passed through an automatic door, and Tang Zhen pointed to the place where the crowd gathered in front: "That is the supply area, where the mecha's energy tube is charged. If the standing weapon is broken, you can also go to repair and replace it. "

    The interior of the fortress is divided into various areas. Although the sparrow is small and complete, it is almost a star city by itself, and it can achieve self-sufficiency whether it is generating electricity, filtering water, or growing grain and livestock.

    Of course, these are all things that the logistics department is responsible for. They are far away from the military region where they are now walking, and it takes five minutes to get there.

    "Next to the supply area, here, is the trading area."

    Tang Zhen said as he walked over with Jiang Jianming, "There are fortresses and private transactions. You can buy things other than standard rations. You can eat everything, including medicines, weapons, and tranquilizers."

    Jiang Jianming frowned and pondered.

    The most serious problem for him now is the sedative.

    He brought twelve tubes of high-purity crystal particle tranquilizer, and he had already used one tube in Beta Alien. If only the minimum survival needs are guaranteed, a single injection can last him up to three days.

    In this way, he only has more than a month.

    The military's high-purity tranquilizer costs about 20,000 yuan per tube.

    That is to say, if there is no way to get additional tranquilizers, after a month, he will have to spend at least 20,000 every three days... The cost is comparable to the intensive care unit.

    Jiang Jianming hesitated for a second, then stretched out his finger.

    Click on the virtual screen of the wrist phone to call up your coin balance.

    Balance: 836.7 (coin points)

    Jiang Jianming quickly turned off the screen: "..."

    Tang Zhen spat out on the spot and hooked his shoulders with a smile: "My dear, escape can increase the points or what? Hey, don't be polite to me, do you want to lend you some?"

    "..." Jiang Jianming pursed his lips, pressing his eyebrows and turned his head, "...don't be noisy."

    This person is usually sloppy and unsocial, with a somewhat cold temperament that others can't see through.

    Tang Zhen looked even happier. After laughing for a long time, he straightened up. After walking a few steps, he stopped again: "Huh? Why...?"

    There is no indicator light on the automatic door opposite, which means that the door is not open.

    There were people coming and going, and a non-commissioned officer found them standing still, and kindly reminded: "Oh, you are new officers from the military academy this year. The trading area has just been banned. Come and see you tomorrow."

    "Banned?"

    Tang Zhen frowned, scratched his hair and whispered, "What's the matter, it was fine yesterday..."

    Jiang Jianming thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What else is there in the trading area?"

    Tang Zhen said: "Then there is the accommodation area for the officers, oh, and the starship port. Could it be that the starship is coming? But it won't be blocked here..."

    Jiang Jianming understood at once.

    ... It seems that it is His Royal Highness Garcia, and now the only remaining prince in the empire is coming to the first fortress, no matter how rigorous the investigation is, it makes sense.

    However, unless there is another amazing encounter with a character of that level, at their current level, it is impossible to meet them no matter what.

    It's about Ryan... This person will definitely find a way to meet again, but unfortunately not now.

    Jiang Jianming pressed down the emotions that floated in his heart, but he didn't show it at all: "Forget it, let's go back first."

    They turned back the same way, but they didn't expect to bump into other people coming back from training at this time, and many eyes went straight to Jiang Jianming, and there were discussions.

    "It's him, that..."

    "Disabled humans?"

    "Yes, it seems that it has been entered into the file, and said to act with us in the future."

    "Shouldn't it be kept in the fortress for good care? That's a crippled human being..."

    Tang Zhen frowned, feeling uncomfortable, pulling Jiang Jianming away quickly.

    When they returned to the dormitory, the door opened, and a few figures inside turned their heads, a total of two men and two women, both young faces.

    Beimaner stood up first to say hello, with a bright smile on her face: "Tang Shao, classmate Jiang, you are back. Classmate Jiang hasn't met our other teammates yet, so I'll call everyone over to get acquainted."

    Tang Zhen slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, I forgot!"

    He supported Jiang Jianming's back and pushed the person into the room, "Xiao Jiang, the students of Kaios Military Academy, as long as they choose to join the army after graduation, they are all officers and lieutenant. But because of the special environment, Yin Beidou is a newcomer to the military academy Students have a one-year adaptation period, and they are trained under the commander like an ordinary soldier—you know this, right?”

    Tang Zhen turned his head and said in a light tone: "We belong to the third team. A few of them, and Beimaner, are our teammates for the next year. This is..."

    But before he finished speaking, his voice froze.

    I saw that the three teammates looked gloomy and uncertain, staring at Jiang Jianming with extremely complicated eyes, and there was no friendly meaning at all.

    There was an embarrassing breath in the air, and the smile on Tang Zhen's mouth disappeared little by little.

    The light on Beimaner's face gradually dimmed, she leaned over to Tang Zhen and Jiang Jianming and whispered apologetically, "I'm sorry... I actually persuaded them for a while, but they seem to be... still not quite able to do it. accept."

    Jiang Jianming sighed softly.

    This situation...isn't it unexpected?

    Over there, the three teammates looked at each other and stood up.

    A tall and strong young man with a little fat said in a loud voice, "Military Defense, Joe Brown."

    The girl with light freckles bit her lower lip: "Burton School, Ellie Smith."

    The last one to speak was a black-haired young man who frowned and said, "Kaios Military Academy, Li Youfang."

    Jiang Jianming glanced at him and thought to himself: No wonder he looks a little familiar, it turned out to be a classmate, maybe he had met before.

    Just as he was thinking, that Li Youfang walked in front of him.

    "...I am the chief graduate student of the Second Academy of Mecha Manipulation this year. Jiang Jianming, I know you."

    Li Youfang's expression was gloomy, his chin lifted slightly, "I know you are talented, and I have heard the dean of our academy praise you, saying it is a pity, if you are a new human with crystal bones, maybe you will be rare in a century. Wizards."

    "To be honest, I feel sorry for you too."

    "But." Li Youfang's tone changed, and he said firmly, "It's a pity that you have to know that you are not!"

    "You are not a new human, just a disabled human, a human race without crystal bones, unable to stand the disturbance of crystal particles, and fragile in constitution - Jiang Jianming, is this reality so difficult for you to accept?"

    Tang Zhen said angrily, "Li Youfang!"

    Jiang Jianming gave Tang Zhen a calm look before looking back at Li Youfang: "No, I know very well."

    He knew very well that he was a race that would eat 20,000 coins in three days.

    Horrible, so scary.

    In the small dormitory, the other four looked at Jiang Jianming and Li Youfang with different expressions.

    Li Youfang pointed to the bottom of his feet: "You know? You know you're still here? Oh, what can you do here!?"

    He said that he got excited first, without waiting for Jiang Jianming to speak, spittle stars flew: "Let's not say, tomorrow will be the first field trial, fighting against alien creatures! Chief Huo Lin timed and scored on the spot, are you? Do you want to humiliate yourself? Do you know that it is not your own face that will be lost, but the face of our entire team?"

    Jiang Jianming's expression remained unchanged: "Are you so sure that I will lose face? In case my grades are higher than yours, you..."

    Li Youfang sneered: "It's unreasonable, stop dreaming."

    "Li Youfang!" Tang Zhen burst out, rushing up and grabbing his collar, roaring with red eyes, "I fucking misread you, you didn't rush to join us when we formed the team!?"

    Li Youfang blushed and said with a stubborn neck: "Tang Shao's crystal bones are outstanding in the first hospital, of course I respect it! Who knew that the friend you were bringing with you was a disabled person?"

    When he spoke, the muscles on his face were agitated, and crystal bones began to condense rapidly on the shoulders behind him. A pair of crystal-like exoskeletons opened like the sickle of a praying mantis.

    "The strength of Yin Beidou speaks. No matter how talented the disabled people are, they will be waste in the far interstellar space..."

    The freckled girl and the chubby young man silently looked away. Beiman'er exclaimed, "Don't fight...don't do this!"

    But it was already too late, Tang Zhen's eyes flashed fiercely, and the crystal bone was released in an instant, which was faster than Li Youfang who moved the first move!

    Chong——! After a crisp sound similar to metal slamming, the two pairs of crystal bones slammed into the air fiercely.

    "Uh!" The wrestling lasted for only two seconds, only to hear a loud bang, Li Youfang was swept out and his back slammed against the wall.

    Tang Zhen gasped heavily, raised his head and said angrily, "That old man is better than you, can he call you a waste too, ah!?"

    Beimaner: "Young Master Tang!"

    "It's not over yet," Li Youfang threw up a carp, clenched his fists and slammed a hammer on his chest, re-condensed crystal bones from his wrists, and roared, "Come again!"

    Seeing that the crystal bones of the two people were about to collide again, a hand inserted between the two of them without warning!

    That hand had no protection whatsoever, with white knuckles, a slender skeleton, and no crystals on the slender wrist bones. It belonged to a disabled human being.

    In an instant, the two pairs of crystal bones froze comically in mid-air as if the pause button had been pressed—

    Jiang Jianming said calmly, "Whatever comes again, stop."

    "..."

    Tang Zhen and Li Youfang's eyes widened. They were dumbfounded. The crystal bones that stretched into the air didn't dare to move, and cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.

    ...Just now, as long as none of them stopped, the power of the crystal bone is enough to smash the palm of a person in an instant, and even the bones are smashed into slag.

    The other three people in the dormitory were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they dared not breathe.

    After a few seconds, Tang Zhen regained his voice and said in a trembling voice, "You...you don't want to kill Jiang Jianming! Put your hand down!!"

    Jiang Jianming turned a deaf ear, turned his face, and put his palm on Li Youfang's crystal bone.

    "You...! What do you want to do!?"

    Li Youfang was frightened and nervous, and the tip of his nose was sweating.

    When he lifted his face like this, Jiang Jianming's handsome eyebrows came into view, and he could see clearly the faint shadows of his eyelashes.

    For a moment, Li Youfang's heart was beating like a drum, and he even fell into a trance, wondering if he had just said too much.

    How could he forget, after all, this person is...a sensitive and fragile human with a residual crystal.

    Such a weak race, whether in physical or mental state, is too prone to accidents.

    Just in a trance, he felt his crystal bone being patted, Jiang Jianming's nice voice sounded in his ears, and his tone was very gentle: "Good teammate, do you want to bet?"

    Li Youfang opened his mouth: "Ah..."

    It took him two seconds to react: "Huh??"

    Not only Li Youfang was stunned, but the others were also stunned, looking at Jiang Jianming with a calm demeanor in confusion.

    Jiang Jianming continued: "Tomorrow, in the field combat, each will act alone to hunt alien creatures, right? You were convinced just now that I would be embarrassed."

    Li Youfang was stunned: "...Yes."

    "For betting money, my grades are higher than yours by one point." Jiang Jianming raised an index finger and shook his eyes, "Ten thousand points."

    "..."

    The air froze eerily.

    Tang Zhen's chin fell with a thud, and he was helped back by himself.

    He broke down and said, "Dear mother, your way of scooping wool is too good, that's all!" ?

    Beimaner said tremblingly: "Jiang, Jiang, if you are caught gambling in a crowd, you need to remember it..."

    The freckled girl Ellie was stunned: "Hey, are you crazy? Don't you know that mechas are not good for alien creatures, how can a crippled human without crystal bones fight against alien creatures?"

    Jiang Jianming smiled and said nothing. It was the fat young man Qiao who stumbled and said, "Well, what if your grades are lower than him?"

    "Good question." Jiang Jianming slapped his palm seriously, raised his eyebrows and said to Li Youfang, who was already stunned, "I bet of course there will be contacts, as long as my grades are lower than yours, even if it is only one point lower. "

    He bent his index finger and tapped the screen of the wrist phone on his wrist, living out the lavishness of eight million from eight hundred or so coins:

    "I'll give you the balance of my deposit."

    The author has something to say:

    Jiang: Good teammate, maybe you like to be slapped in the face... Um (coughs after covering his lips) I mean, do you like to bet?

    Trivia: The balance of Xiao Jiang is the balance of the author's card when he wrote this chapter. Thank you for subscribing to the genuine angel to let me eat...
