"What are you looking at?"
Chtholly asked as she walked out of the tent.
Aiseya had a surprised expression, and although Nephren's expression didn't change much, her twitching eyebrows were enough to show her inner unrest.
"Oh, Chtholly, you're awake. Were you woken up by the shaking just now? The administrator really went too far~"
When Essia heard Chtholly's voice, she turned her head.
"I always feel that your words are a bit ambiguous..."
"As for what we are looking at, look over there."
Chtholly looked in the direction of Aesya's finger. Or rather, she didn't need any guidance at all. As long as she walked out of the tent, Chtholly could sense the abnormality.
"You're all here, which means the administrator has taken action, so this is..."
Chtholly asked uncertainly.
"Well, it's just what you thought~"
Aisiya confirmed this answer with a smile.
On that day, most people in the floating continent group witnessed the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth.
With Floating Island No. 15 as the boundary, the clouds and the sky were cut in half like a cake, and one side was dyed with a crimson atmosphere, as gorgeous as the sunset.
"So lovely……"
Chtholly's pupils had returned to blue, but now the color of the sky reflected in her pupils had turned into a different kind of red.
"Sure enough, what the administrator said before, that we didn't use our full strength when training with him, is true~ This is not something that a human can do~"
Aisiya's tone was exaggerated, but her eyes were full of smiles.
"Uh-huh."
Nephrine nodded in agreement.
-------------------------------------
Xueyue landed lightly on the ground and slowly put [Chixiao] into the scabbard.
The body of the unknown beast at the back gradually disintegrated, the fragments shattered from large to small, and then turned into dust and was blown away by the wind.
"The enemy has been eliminated, and no new enemies have been detected."
Xueyue's calm words were transmitted to Gray Rock Skin through the communicator. However, even without Xueyue's report, most people could sense the reality of the unknown [beast]'s body collapsing.
[Floating Island No. 15, defensive operation, success! Thank you all for your efforts! ]
Gray Rock Skin conveyed the news of victory to every combatant present.
Xueyue casually threw [Chixiao] into the shadow, and returned to the temporary command center with a space jump.
"Oh! Oh! Technical Officer Xueyue is back!"
I don't know which reptilian soldier shouted like this, but it immediately attracted more reptilian soldiers, who surrounded Xueyue enthusiastically, their eyes filled with gratitude and excitement.
Although for Xueyue, this was just a simple decapitation operation, but in the eyes of these soldiers, Xueyue was the person who turned the tide and brought back the impossible victory.
The army is a place that respects strength, and the strength that Xueyue has demonstrated is enough to be recognized by most people. Xueyue's killing of the unknown [beast] also prevented many soldiers from sacrificing their lives, so it is not surprising that these soldiers developed a kind of admiration after witnessing Xueyue's amazing sword.
Chapter 217 Post-War Meeting
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..."
Xueyue responded to the enthusiasm of the reptilian soldiers with a smile on her face, but the smile was obviously forced and a little bit loose.
Of course, Xueyue didn't have any feelings towards these lizards, but now they all came over and made her feel a little numb. If she was surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, it would be fine, but if she was looked at by a group of lizards with eager eyes, Xueyue really felt a little bit overwhelmed.
"The second-class technical officer has returned from combat and needs to rest. How can you surround him like this?"
A familiar voice sounded, and the reptilian soldiers turned their heads and suddenly fell silent.
"Victory in battle is certainly gratifying, but post-war work should not be slack."
"Yes! First-class military officer!"
Gray Rock Skin's words were indeed majestic. The soldiers immediately straightened their military appearance, stood at attention and saluted, then immediately dispersed to both sides.
"Thank you for helping me out."
"No, you are the hero of this battle."
Gray Rock Skin waved his hand.
"Compared to your earth-shattering attack, my title of [First-class Military Officer] seems a little unworthy of the title, hahaha~"
Gray Rock Skin laughed at himself and made a strange sound. It was obvious that he was in a particularly good mood.
"Personal bravery is nothing. A first-class military officer needs to coordinate the overall situation."
Xueyue also smiled and spoke politely.
"Pack up, we should go back to Floating Island No. 11, but we still have some time before we go back, so you can chat with them."
The "they" that Gray Rock Skin mentioned was naturally referring to the three adult fairy soldiers.
Xueyue nodded. As an administrator, she really had to say hello to them after returning from a battle.
"Hey, Administrator, I saw it. That attack was so powerful!"
Seeing Xueyue's figure, the most lively Aisiya was the first to speak,
"That one who looks super strong, when will he teach us?"
"Yeah, awesome."
Nephrine also chimed in.
"Well, I think it's still a little difficult for you to learn..."
However, Xueyue also knew that they were just joking and did not really intend to learn it. After all, it was obvious at a glance that such an attack was not something that could be achieved through ordinary learning.
Chtholly was unusually silent. No, it would be more accurate to say that she was hesitant to speak. She had too many thoughts and too many things to say, but when she came to her lips, she couldn't utter a single word.
Xueyue understood that Chtholly was such a girl, thoughtful, serious and a little stubborn.
So, Xueyue took the initiative to step forward and gently hugged Kedeli.
"Eh?"
The sudden hug surprised Chtholly.
"Well, well, well, I'm still very dirty. No, no, anyway, this is still a bit embarrassing..."
Chtholly's cheeks visibly turned red.
"You don't need to think so much,"
Xueyue whispered in Chtholly's ear, and her breath made Chtholly's earlobe itch.
"I'm back. I said so. All you have to do is respond to this."
"……Welcome back."
"That's right~"
Xueyue let go of Chtholly with a smile.
"You don't need to worry too much about things like [Erosion] and other weird things. I can help you solve them after we return [home]."
Although she didn't understand how Xueyue was going to solve her own problems, and perhaps it was just a comforting word, Xueyue's words still gave Chtholly a sense of reassurance, and she immediately stopped worrying so much.
"Um--!"
Chtholly also smiled.
-------------------------------------
After being transported by the airship, several people returned to the 11th Floating Island, and Abigail had received the news early and came to greet them.
A moment later, in the meeting room of the Guard Wing Army Commander's headquarters.
A post-war summary meeting was held, with Gray Rock Skin, Xue Yue, Abigail, Chtholly, Aiseya, and Nephrine in attendance.
"...In short, this is the situation. With the help of Senior Technical Officer Xueyue, we won the final victory and saved Floating Island No. 15 from danger."
Gray Rock Skin gave a brief summary of the battle situation on the fifteenth floating island.
"Hmm, so that's how it is..."
Abigail nodded frequently, but she was not surprised by the intensity of Xueyue's attacks. It was obvious that she was used to it.
"Regarding the unknown [beast] that appeared on the 15th floating island, and the method hidden in the [sixth beast], have you ever encountered it before?"
Xueyue asked.
"No, this is the first time we have seen such a situation. We have never thought that there are other beasts that can [parasitize] the [Sixth Beast] and invade the floating island together."
Limestone shook his head.
"It seems that the intelligence I collected was not missed. This unprecedented situation always makes me feel like a storm is about to come. Of course, this may just be my illusion."
Xueyue tapped the table lightly with the end of her pen.
"Perhaps this is not your illusion. Anyway, we will intensify our investigation in this regard... Then, the next question is about your personal situation, Xueyue."
Gray Rock Skin looked around at the others subconsciously.
"Just say it directly. They are all people close to me. There is no need to be secretive."
Xueyue saw Gray Rock Skin's concerns and waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need to mind it.
"Well, let me tell you. I did report your intelligence to the higher-ups before, which is the normal procedure, but they didn't have any further requirements. And the combat effectiveness you demonstrated this time, I believe they will not ignore it."
Gray Rock Skin's meaning was very clear. Xueyue's move was so obvious. From any angle, the higher-ups would send people to investigate and pay attention to Xueyue. This might not necessarily bring trouble to Xueyue, but it might also lead to some more trouble.
"Of course I know that. It's actually quite unexpected that the big shots above could hold back for so long. I will handle that matter myself. Thank you for the reminder, First Class Military Attaché."
According to normal procedures, Huiyanpi did not need to remind Xueyue. From his military standpoint, it would be enough for him to simply follow the orders that might be issued in the future.
His reminder to Xueyue was more out of personal reasons and recognition of Xueyue's identity as a warrior.
Since Xueyue has already shown that she can handle such things, there is no need for Huiyanpi to say anything more.
Chapter 218 But I refuse
"Uncle!"
With a sound, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
The one who hurried in was a girl from the Wolf Tribe. She had a thin layer of soft, white hair covering her skin. Her facial features were those of a canine-wolf with a high nose. Her two strong ears were covered with hair that looked like slightly burnt straw.
Judging from the beautifully crafted silk dress she was wearing, she must be from a good family.
But this is not difficult to understand. Anyone who can break into the meeting room of this headquarters in plain clothes must not be a civilian.
And the "Uncle" she just called was obviously here to look for Huiyanpi. After all, except Huiyanpi, everyone else in the meeting room was a girl.
only--
"Uncle?"
Chtholly, Aesya, and Nevlen all raised questions at the same time. After all, they had never heard of Graystone having such a niece before, and—
"Graystone, are you an orc? I had been misjudging you before. Your hair looks a lot like scales~"
Xueyue had a teasing tone.
"no……"
"So, is this girl actually a reptilian? By reptilian standards, her scales look a lot like hair."
"Not really... This child is the daughter of an old friend of mine. She has been very close to me since she was a child."
Gray Rock Skin explained.
But this is not surprising. After all, they are just relatives without blood relationship.
"What's wrong, Faye? I should have told you not to show your face here."
