touch of empire

Shi Luo quickly posted the task on the announcement area of ​​the school, and three people took the task that night.

But he waited another day, but only three more people came.

By the third day, the deadline for task collection was approaching. If the relevant team members could not be found, they could only be disbanded, and the task became unowned again, and someone else could claim it.

Shi Luo never expected that everyone rushed to do the task of thirty people last time, but this time there were not many people coming to the task in the hunting area.

That's right, Dong Ren's star army is not rich, he can't give out as rich rewards as others, it's just a scorpion specimen, no one will be interested except archaeologists, even if it is sold to alien archaeologists As a scholar, you can't make a lot of money.

On the third night, there were still three people short of the task, so Shi Luo began to lobby his roommate.

"Albert, do you want to go to the hunting area?"

Albert was not very happy, he shook his head and was chatting with someone.

"You are a mecha master. I will go to the Weapons Department to exchange for primary mechas this time. Don't you want to have a real fight?" Shi Luo said.

So Albert immediately threw away the light brain: "Go!"

"Peng Minke, what about you?" Shi Luo asked Qicai's roommate.

Peng Minke's eyes lit up immediately. He propped his chin with his hands, tilted his head and thought for a while: "The hunting area, Dongren! I'm going there to try pre-war mobilization!"

Shi Luo nodded: "No problem! I'm the captain this time, and I can let you sing all the way!"

Peng Minke immediately signed up. His specialty is armored infantry, and the mobilization before the station is now very well done.

Shi Luo turned his head to Brother Lazy Cancer Biao.

Biao rolled his eyes at Shi Luo, and with a ding-dong sound, Shi Luo's task force had been filled, and Biao was the last one to sign up.

Shi Luo assembled his team and announced that night that they would gather tomorrow morning and set off after three days of training.

Although we have to face alien beasts this time, it is not so strict because it is in a hunting area occupied by humans.

Shi Luo went to find an old friend to come to help.

The guide Norman who cooperated with him back then.

Norman has participated in four or five battles and assisted many sentinels in combat, so he has a lot of experience.

This time when he was invited by Shi Luo to train this team without a guide, he couldn't help curling his lips: "A Luo, you are really bold, why don't you bring a guide?"

Shi Luo smiled, he had communicated with Dong Ren when he received this task.

Dong Ren was very happy that Shi Luo could come to his side, and immediately said: "No guide is needed! You are here, I am the best guide here!"

In the training room, a group of rookies were newly born, and they were tortured to death by Norman.

But when they were resting, Norman and Shi Luo sat side by side, feeling a little emotional.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding, knowing what the other was thinking.

"Shi Luo, I heard a gossip." Norman spoke first after a while.

Shi Luo immediately knew what the other party was talking about.

"Salka must be on the front line. I heard that those whose spiritual cores burst will recover the next day. No one can do it except Zalka."

Shi Luo hummed in a low voice, he also heard about this incident, and he also felt that Salika was on the front line.

But he was still in school, he was a soldier with discipline, not to mention whether he could find Zalka, even if he could find him, he probably would not accept him.

This is the real reason why I took this task.

If he could catch the living ancient beast scorpion and find a way to repair it, maybe he could really help Zareka.

At that time, he should have no reason to leave him, right?

Shi Luo thought silently.

Three days passed quickly, and the team of 15 people all gathered, except Shi Luo, who were seniors, and the rest were freshmen.

Shi Luo first led the team to the material department to choose weapons, and he chose a newly developed ordinary mech in the Amon area.

This kind of mecha is similar to the one he piloted on Star Tana back then, but Shi Luo has been practicing manipulating the mecha for the past six months, and his combat level is no longer the same as it was back then.

He activated the mech easily, and set a new record on the energy gauge.

Defense: [-]+

Attack power: [-]+

"Wow!" Albert gave Shi Luo a punch, and said enviously, "This kind of spiritual energy should be the best in the school, right?"

Shi Luo smiled slightly. He is now able to control his mental agitation very well, and he can basically completely control the mental barrier. With the help of Salka, his innate weakness has already become an incomparable advantage.

"Inhibitor! Don't forget, or you will suffer sometime." Albert reminded Shi Luo.

Shi Luo shook the small bottle in his hand.

There are more than 20 tablets of the medicine in the vial, which are probably all kept by Salka.

In the past six months, Shi Luo's spiritual strength has indeed increased a lot, but he also used a lot of inhibitors.

It took almost a month to use an A-level inhibitor. Last month, Shi Luo forgot to take the inhibitor, and as a result, he almost toppled the mecha.I don't know how long the inhibitor in Shi Luo's hand can last, but I hope he can find a new method as soon as possible.

Albert also chose an auxiliary mecha, which carries various parts and can repair the damaged parts of the main mecha at any time on the battlefield. He specializes in the design and manufacture of mechas, but he usually has the opportunity to play auxiliary mechas on the battlefield. Not much, this time is a good opportunity.

After choosing the mech, Shi Luo stopped in front of the weapon bar.

The weapons I chose last time were expensive and expensive, but I still lost money after completing a task.

This time before he started to choose, the grizzly bear grabbed his arm: "Money! Money!"

Shi Luo gritted his teeth and chose a weapon with attack +[-].

It was the most expensive weapon among the deposits he could pay, a total of one thousand coins.

"Oh, no!" Grizzly covered his eyes, but he still saw the Pangu Ax chosen by Shi Luo, which was also the highest level weapon that ordinary mechs could carry.

After everyone selected their weapons, they took the spaceship to the hunting area and set sail.

Sitting at the porthole, Shi Luo couldn't help but think of the way he was when he went to the hunting area last time.

At that time, I killed someone and hid on a black cargo ship, where I met Ava and Xu Jia.Now that these two people are gone, the lost life seems to have taken another world with them.

"Brother Shi Luo!" Ava's voice rang in Shi Luo's ear.

Shi Luo glanced at his optical brain: "Check how long it will take to reach the hunting area."

"It's very close. There are three major forces in the hunting area. One is the mining area, where strange beasts are infested. The owner of the mine has opened sporadic mines there, which is the sphere of influence of Xinghui Company; the largest one belongs to General Kaiya, who owns There are ten star regions and hundreds of large planets; the last one is the control region of the Star Army, where the terrain is more complicated and navigation is difficult. Our flight will be parked at the junction of the three regions.”

On the electronic map, the position of an asteroid was immediately marked, and the name of the asteroid was written on it - a neutral port of call.

The spaceship in the Amon area entered the port ten hours later, Shi Luo felt the spaceship vibrate, and several team members immediately prepared to disembark.

There were other people from the Amon District accompanying him. Shi Luo led his team and dragged his weapons and supplies off the spaceship. Before he could stand still, he was greeted with a big hug.

A unique warm and sunny breath lingered on Shi Luo's nose. Dong Ren looked thinner, but his face was much darker. Although his appearance was still soft and beautiful, he didn't have the slightest weakness of an ordinary guide.

"Shi Luo! I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Dong Ren's smile was very hearty, which immediately diluted the inexplicable faint melancholy in Shi Luo's heart.

"Ah! I want to hug too! Guide Dongren~!" Peng Mingla opened Shi Luo, rushed to Dongren, opened his arms, closed his eyes slightly, and his colorful hair moved in the air in the wind .

Dong Ren was very generous and gave Peng Minke a hug.

So the other sentries started to hug one by one.

Only when Dong Ren walked up to Biao did he change his smile and become extremely serious. He stretched out his hand and held the lazy cancer's hand: "Hello! I'm glad you can come."

Biao was silent, and he glanced at Dong Ren: "I am also very happy to meet you."

As Dong Ren said, he directly led the people to the spaceship he brought. There were two guides and more than a dozen sentinels inside. They all closed their legs when they saw Dong Ren, and they gave a neat military salute.

Those people looked at Dong Ren with admiration and trust in their eyes, and it could be seen that Dong Ren had a high prestige in his territory.

"Shi Luo, should we go straight to the task, or come to my place to rest first?" Dong Ren asked for everyone's opinions.

Shi Luo said: "Fulong Military Academy has a time limit for doing tasks, let's talk about the tasks first. If there is more time after finishing, I will go to your place for a stroll."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Dong Ren's eyes, but he recovered quickly. After reporting the coordinates to the driver, he began to explain the mission to everyone.

"Three months ago, we found an ancient alien beast in the mining area - the legendary alien scorpion."

"Alien...alien scorpion?" Shi Luo and the others looked at each other.

What they saw was a picture of an alien scorpion, not an alien scorpion!

Although there is only one word difference between Alien Beast Scorpion and Alien Star Scorpion, the difference in species is hundreds of thousands of miles.

The former is the subject of archaeologists, the genetic waste that has been eliminated by alien beasts in the war.

But the latter Alien Scorpion is something in legends.

According to legend, the original sentinels and guides evolved into supernatural beings because of the fusion of the genes of this creature.

No one has even actually seen the alien scorpion!It's just because according to the legend, this kind of thing only lives in the desert. When it appears, it will be covered with scorpions, which is why it is named Alien Scorpion.

"Yes! We thought it was the Alien Beast Scorpion at first, so we made a mistake in the picture when we released the mission. It was not until two days ago that we got the latest news that it was the Alien Beast Scorpion! It was what humans encountered in the age of great navigation. That kind of legendary creature." Dong Ren's expression became extremely serious, "I think that the ones who got this news with me should be General Kaia and the Huixing Company, which originally ruled the mining area."

Mentioning Kaiya and Huixing Company, Shi Luo couldn't help clenching his fists.

"I'm sorry, when I got the news, it was too late to change the mission." Dong Ren said, his eyes fixed on Shi Luo, "I think we will encounter a terrible enemy, I will mobilize my army, cooperate This operation. But if you want to abandon the mission, I will immediately change the route and send you away."

Shi Luo raised his head, and he also looked at Dong Ren.

The 28-year-old guide said he was sorry, but there was no guilt in his eyes.

On the contrary, there was an indescribable light shining in his eyes, which seemed to be courage, trust, and a hint of... admiration.

"You don't feel sorry at all." Shi Luo said, his voice was very steady, "How many times have you heard Ava's story?"

Dong Ren smiled: "Countless times! So I know, you will definitely be happy to hear this news, and also very happy to meet General Kaiya and Bright Star Entertainment again."
