NIKKE, when the stars bloom

After swallowing the last sip of the wine in the pot, Honglian, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, shook his head and said vaguely:

"This matter... the young master actually remembered it in his heart."

As early as the MMR High School exhibition match, Diesel had already told everyone the story of how he became Nikki. Honglian remembered it very clearly, Yinhua was there, Marian was there, and she was there too.

No one could have imagined that the young master actually kept this experience, which should be heard of, in his heart and found an opportunity to take action.

The price of revenge is to withstand the thermite grenade for a few seconds.

Holding the mouth of the wine pot vertically downward, Honglian drunkenly stared at the drop of wine that was about to fall from the mouth of the pot. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly laughed and said:

"The young master is truly a wonderful person."

……

……

the next morning,

When the sleepy "Miao Ren" sat up from the ground, he saw Hong Lian sitting cross-legged in front of him, wiping his beloved sword with his head down.

Lieutenant Phoenix suddenly recalled a line of poetry that was engraved in his soul.

——“Sharpening the knife to kill pigs and sheep.”

Fortunately, Honglian's words easily brought someone back to reality.

"Did you sleep well last night, sir?"

"Ah."

He responded as a matter of course, and then the lieutenant felt that his answer was somewhat cold, so he quickly added:

"With so many people guarding here and you being here too, I think it would be hard for me to feel uneasy."

As the two of them were chatting, Labi and the others, who had discovered that the commander had gotten up, had quickly packed their luggage and handed a portion of compressed food that had been preheated with firewood to the commander.

After all, they were on the march and fighting, so Phoenix didn't dawdle because of Honglian's arrival.

The man was seen wolfing down the compressed biscuits while he took out a wet towel from his bag and wiped it on his face twice, as if he was washing his face.

Afterwards, Mihara and others who were in charge of standing guard also returned one after another under Rabi's communication.

"I'm going to the Far North this time, and I have to keep communications with the Ark open during the operation. Are you sure you want to come with me?"

In a room on an abandoned floor, Phoenix habitually stroked his stubble and said to Honglian:

“Besides me, Rabi’s microphone was the only one in the squadron that was fully open and could capture ambient sound.

I'm fine, I can take off the headset when I stay overnight and use the excuse of washing up and having a meal to get away with it.

As for Rabi...have you communicated with her?

If you were close to her, your words would have been transmitted to the Ark Intelligence Department."

"Will this embarrass you, sir?"

Honglian had never cared about Fang Zhou's attitude, and therefore, she didn't care whether her words would be heard by the underground Fang Zhou.

The white-haired old girl only cares about whether her actions will cause trouble for Phoenix.

"Embarrassed?"

Unexpectedly, the lieutenant seemed quite confused by Honglian's question.

He was worried that Honglian would be disgusted with having contact with Fang Ark. After all, Fang Ark had stabbed the Goddess Army in the back several times back then.

"Why am I in trouble?" the man asked in confusion.

Seeing this, Honglian was quite surprised and raised her eyebrows curiously, and answered:

"If the people in charge of the Ark knew that you and I were in close contact, wouldn't you be afraid of being plotted against by villains in the future?"

"ark?"

Lieutenant Phoenix, who was wearing a transparent dragon robe and had a halo behind his head, nodded without thinking after learning the answer given by Honglian.

"What's he doing?"

Chapter 233 Heading North

Just one sentence made a pilgrim join the team willingly.

Such results greatly confirmed what Mihaela, Marianne and others thought - someone was not trustworthy when it came to seducing the opposite sex.

It was clearly stipulated that a squadron should consist of twelve Nikkis, but the lieutenant insisted on bringing Anis along, so the number of Nikkis when they arrived on the ground became an odd thirteen.

This was not enough. Who would have thought that in the early morning of the next day, another pilgrim who appeared out of nowhere expressed his willingness to travel with the lieutenant, forcing the already excessive squadron number to fourteen.

What's this?

How can a commander expand the size of his troops after going to the ground???

Rabi, who was troubled by this, silently looked at Nikki named "Honglian", while thinking about how to write the combat report after returning to the Ark so as to perfectly fool the enemy.

……

"arrive."

After killing no less than 40 or 50 Letchers along the way, Phoenix finally brought his team to the starting point of the Letcher Migration.

——The boundary line between K-08 zone and K-01 zone.

On the road, cars that had been stabbed into pieces or even completely disintegrated were scattered on the concrete road surface. Not only that, there were also large amounts of tree debris, weeds and soil mixed in.

Looking around, the entire road looked like the transport tracks under a crusher, fragmented and with nowhere to step.

“Does this need to be tracked?”

After seeing the traces left by the Letcher Migration, Phoenix kicked the rearview mirror of the car under his feet speechlessly and said:

"I can see everything clearly from a helicopter, and they want me to walk to the Far North? Those idiots who made the decision are so easy to talk."

Since she didn't turn off the microphone, every word of the lieutenant's curse words went into Xie Futi's ears.

In response, the girl with dark circles under her eyes remained silent as if she had not heard anything. After a day and night of getting used to it, she had become numb to the notorious lieutenant on the ground.

Whether the other party destroyed fifty-seven Letchers with ease, or openly criticized the leader, in Shefti's eyes today, it was no big deal.

After all, her boss didn't say anything, so there was no need for her, a poor all-night worker, to worry about it.

"Second Lieutenant, your current straight-line distance to the Far North is 3216 kilometers, and the actual distance traveled is estimated to be 3769 kilometers.

To ensure the wear and tear of the aircraft, we recommend that you advance towards the Far North at a speed of 210 km per day. Without taking into account the elimination of Letcher, it will take eighteen days to reach the edge of the Far North. "

……

Eighteen days, four hundred and thirty-two hours.

This period of time is neither long nor short.

During this period, Lieutenant Phoenix successfully trained the half-baked Diesel and Helen into fighters who could barely keep up with the team's pace. At the same time, the cooperation of the ground intelligence special squadron became more tacit and efficient.

Of course, working together well in battle is one thing, but Helen being excluded from the squadron in daily life is another.

However, unlike the time in the hotel, after being recognized by the lieutenant, the noble girl had already realized her situation in the squadron, and she no longer forced Mihala and others to forgive her.

——It doesn’t matter. It really doesn’t matter.

Now she only cares about "whether the lieutenant is there or not". As for what other people think, such meaningless and troublesome things have nothing to do with her.

"This idea of ​​yours does not fit your plans for your future, Helen."

At night, Phoenix, who was busy grilling a plump roe deer, glanced at the girl sitting beside him and said in a gentle and persuasive manner:

“At least Master and Anke are your friends, as well as your first mate and sailor.

You can ignore other people, but these two...if you keep quarreling with them, your relationship will fade."

"I didn't have any quarrel with them."

In response to the lieutenant's judgment, the noble girl, with her hands around her knees, shook her head without caring about her image, looking really adorable.

"They simply don't want to, and can't, pay any attention to me. As you said, they're afraid that if they publicly forgive me, they'll be ostracized along with the rest of the squadron."

What Helen said makes sense, and it is enough to prove that under Lieutenant Phoenix's careful teaching these days, her political sensitivity is growing rapidly at a visible speed.

Unfortunately, this is not enough.

At least for someone, Helen's current growth is far from what he expected.

Then, the lieutenant said:

“Not counting me and Honglian, there are thirteen people in the squadron.

When twelve people exclude one person, that is indeed called bullying and isolation. But when ten people exclude three people, Helen, do you think this situation is considered isolation?

If Honglian, who is outside the squadron, is on good terms with you, and as the commander, I intend to improve your status in the team, can their behavior be considered bullying you?

Let’s take a simpler example.

If all the commanders of the Ark come together to cause trouble for me, there will be at least hundreds of people ostracizing me. Do you think their behavior is bullying?"

Helen: "..."

It was like the sunlight filtering through a crack into the pitch-dark iron house. As soon as Phoenix finished speaking, Helen, who had a strong learning ability, instantly understood what the man meant.

She is the captain of the Aegis force, she is the captain of the USS Praise, and she has a lieutenant backing her up.

Why should she worry that Master and Anker would be treated unfairly for getting close to her again?

"So this is what it feels like to have a great boss...who can bring such clear enlightenment to his subordinates."

The noble girl murmured, her cheeks were red, whether it was because of the fire or some other reason. Just one glance was enough to make one salivate.

"I, I... I'll go find Master and the others right now, Lieutenant." Helen said stutteringly.

Her heart was inexplicably flustered, her body temperature was rising abnormally, and a lot of inexplicable and incomprehensible thoughts kept chattering in her mind.

Is it because I have to apologize to Master, Anke and the others soon that I have become too nervous?

Helen was thinking this and was about to stand up, but unexpectedly the lieutenant's left hand rested on her shoulder, almost startling her to jump up.

"Don't worry about it this evening. The roe deer meat is ready. It's a good time to invite Mihala and the others to have dinner together."

The makeshift grill made of wood was moved away from the fire, and someone took out a dagger from his waist, cut a piece of tender rib meat from the barbecue, and then handed the dagger with the meat in it to the girl.

"Take my dagger and eat it, understand?"

Chapter 234 Mad Hatter!!!

Barbecued meat with just salt added, even if the heat is controlled to perfection, can hardly be described as "delicious" in terms of taste.

But even so, Helen, who didn't need to eat at all, still ate very happily.

In front of all the Nikkis, he picked up the lieutenant's tactical dagger and ate the barbecue. That kind of deliciousness was simply not comparable to the top barbecue on Ark Royal Avenue.

"Haha~ Looks like we went too far."

After dinner, Mihaela walked outside and explained to the sisters as if nothing had happened:

“Everyone should be able to see that the commander wants to train Helen, but I didn’t expect the commander to completely pull Helen to the opposite side of us and stand up for her.

Really~

Add to that the insidious venomous snake in the outer edge area. Now, the commander can be divided into at least three factions...倸..."

Mihara said this, then turned around and looked meaningfully at Anis, Marianne, the two JK girls from the affiliated high school, and Honglian who was sitting on the roof, and exclaimed with a smile:

"Tell me, how can the commander be so popular with girls?"

……

……

The colors of the Far North have always been monotonous.

The blue sky, the white ground, the gray and black mountains and a dozen newly created footprints.

Today is the seventeenth day since Phoenix set out from the K-08 division and arrived in the far north one day earlier than expected.
