"The biggest gain from this war in the Demon Realm is that we have a thorough understanding of the situation in the Demon Realm. As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.' We finally have the most important capital to fight against the creatures in the fourth space."
After the battle, the battleship Zephyr Forest returned to the solar system space with minor losses. It is even true to say that the entire army returned with a complete victory. There were no casualties among the more than 1,200 officers and soldiers, and the combat soldiers were unscathed.
But for Weiss and Nobuyuki Kamizumi, this is not the case at all. Although Lu Yinan looked young and competitive, and appeared as a competitor when he met them, Lu Yinan was still recognized by the two as a close friend even though they had not been together for a long time. Such an ending was unacceptable to them.
The same was true for Lev. At that time, he despised Lu Yinan, a cowardly soldier, but in the end, only Lu Yinan did not return safely, which made Captain Lev, who had a strong sense of responsibility, blame himself.
Lin Xi exerted his maximum command ability in this battle, but did not receive any reward. Instead, he was accused by Major General Fei Lie of failing to rescue effectively, and he has already reported it to the Supreme Military Council.
However, the disputes within the army were overshadowed by the glorious results, and the final result was still very beneficial to Lin Xi. Although he was a little tired, he was still the protagonist at this military commendation meeting.
"...Captain Linxi's bravery and fearlessness represent the determination of all mankind to fight against the alien invasion..."
All the officers and soldiers on the Pluto defense line were watching the swearing-in ceremony. Lin Xi felt stomachache when she thought that she would be watched by millions of people.
However, it was impossible to leave midway. There were countless media in the main venue recording the scene. The result of today's advanced technology is that reporters who are not present can also obtain on-site information through various means, and can even ask questions from a distance.
Lin Xike couldn't do anything that was almost embarrassing in front of all mankind.
"For the hope of mankind, Captain Lu Yinan even gave up his precious life! He was not yet twenty years old! What a young soldier he was! Originally a young man with a bright future, he risked his life to break into the devil world for the continuation of mankind. , brought back valuable first-hand information..."
"Alas! The more I talk, the more I get off topic." Weiss quietly spoke to Nobuyuki Ueizumi who was sitting next to him, complaining about the content of this conference. Of course, on the surface, he sat calmly and remained silent, transmitting information through Sky Eye communication. Anyway, the military sky eye has a confidentiality system, so it is not afraid of being intercepted by media reporters.
"Lu Yinan's death! It seems true. Who knows what this kid is doing? Maybe he is laughing at us."
"Weiss, stop talking. In that situation, you know how slim the hope is. It's better not to have such illusions. This joke is not funny at all." After Nobuyuki Ueizumi came back, his mood has been low, and he has been in a state of depression on many occasions. His expressionless look made everyone think he was the sixth generation of cool guy, extremely cold to the core.
"Alas! I really didn't expect that the final result would be like this. Shangquan, I miss that guy a little!"
The expressionless Nobuyuki Kamizumi's mouth twitched and he did not answer any of Wei Si's questions.
Because of the exciting final results of the mission, parts of it are being made public. This press conference was held directly in the name of the Supreme Military Council of the Interstellar Security Forces. The grand scene was unprecedented.
Rough calculations show that there are at least 8 billion people in the world watching the live footage of the 15 billion people in the world. People don't care who died, they care about the safety of their own lives. Human beings have always had a lingering sense of oppression against the fighting creatures in the fourth space. The shadow of possible extinction at any time has hung over human beings for too long. Now that we finally have exciting news, it can be said that people all over the world are celebrating. The feeling of being able to finally stand up to the demonic creatures is indeed the atmosphere that governments and military authorities of various countries need.
In fact, the real results were concealed and the success of the reconnaissance was trumpeted. Human beings have only begun to understand the fourth space, but they do not really have the power to fight against combat creatures. Although the genetic fragments of the fourth space combat creatures collected this time will be of great help in studying the biological structure of the fourth space, and may even enable the completion of the Demonic War Plan beyond expectations, human beings still need to master those genetic technologies. time. It can be said that this battle in the demon world has not changed anything in substance, but only a strategic understanding. The current human beings still need time to improve their strength.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"Now I am announcing the promotions of meritorious personnel and sponsorship awards from major corporate groups."
This exploration mission to the Demon Realm was premeditated by the Military Committee, and the unexpected gains are an encouragement to all human beings. As the direct commander of the demon world reconnaissance mission, Major General Fei Lie stole the show in this commendation.
As for whether those companies want to carry out pervasive publicity for the future of mankind out of genuine gratitude, or based on commercial effects and fancy the sensational effect of the biggest news of this century, that is not a matter for discussion.
Weiss, Nobuyuki Ueizumi, Lin Xi, and Clay, who came back early and did not participate in the battle to conquer the demon world, as the protagonists, their rewards and promotions are the final straw. The previous lists of more than a thousand battleship officers and soldiers were released one by one, which was really terrifying and torturing.
Far away from the press conference, in Neverwinter City on Earth, the people who felt the saddest about this news were of course Lu Yinan's parents. The press conference was meaningless to them. When they heard the exact news of Lu Yinan's death, all communications were cut off. The rest, no matter how exciting it was, had nothing to do with them.
Lu Yinan's father's normally indifferent expression was replaced by a demented numbness; Lu's mother had always been skeptical that her son would suddenly become a soldier in the regular army, and she refused to believe it.
Although the government’s notice, the condolences from the military headquarters of the 54th Group Army, the official pension order from the interstellar security force, as well as the all-pervasive interviews by major media, and the consolation gifts from several large consortiums and interstellar companies, all proved that Mother Lu’s Doubt is wrong.
But the two people in this family no longer have the sense to judge. Her son is almost all of Mother Lu’s efforts. Although raising her husband and raising children is not her entire life, it is definitely the most important pillar in her life. Without this support, any kind of support or condolences would no longer be important to her. Lu Yinan's father is even more fragile than Mother Lu. He even refuses to think about everything about Lu Yinan.
After Brigadier General Dong Tingpi of the 54th Group Army came to offer condolences, he felt uneasy when he saw the state of Lu Yinan's parents. After all, he was the one who led Lu Yinan into the military. After consulting General Qiu Dafeng, he transferred a small force from the army to completely isolate the place, rejecting all idlers, and ensuring a quiet environment for the two people who had lost their sons.
The one who was transferred this time was the third team that Lu Yinan had led in name. This team of combat soldiers admired the team leader whom they had never met before, and their unconvinced mood could never be lifted up in front of those who died heroically. Maybe when they really face Lu Yinan, they will say that this guy is just lucky and don't care about him at all. But now, they were stationed near Lu Yinan's house with almost red eyes.
Not to mention idle people and reporters with bad intentions, even the police force that maintains law and order dare not offend these soldiers. It is said that their commander can single-handedly defeat monsters from other dimensions, and the third team is also called the monster team.
This name is very lethal. People who walk by or see the soldiers of the third team unconsciously speed up their steps. There were once a few desperate reporters who insisted on interviewing Lu Yinan's parents, but they were directly imprisoned across regions and sent to the military prison of the 54th Group Army on espionage charges by this group of vicious soldiers with strong backing. Even if the Dongshi government comes forward, they won't come back.
Some reporters belonging to the country's internal media are quite good, and they can ask the 54th Army Headquarters to intervene. Some media with international backgrounds were directly accused of having ulterior motives, and the military committee of the Interstellar Security Forces was unwilling to support these reporters.
Now that interstellar security forces have replaced most of the functions of the international community, without their support, there is nothing to turn to.
So now the quietest corner on earth is near Lu Yinan's house. Even the government has issued a ban and all celebrations are not allowed to be held in this area.
When the wave of human excitement swept over the earth, it was particularly quiet here.
"It is now announced that our greatest hero, Lu Yinan, deserves the honor he deserves. In view of his heroic performance, he will be promoted to major and awarded the Hero Medal. Lu Yinan is the youngest hero since the establishment of our interstellar security force... "
The Medal of Heroes is the highest award established by the Interstellar Security Forces to honor fallen soldiers.
"Lu Yinan is really lucky! He was the only one who took the biggest advantage." Weiss murmured to himself. Of course, he didn't say it out loud, but only passed it to the only listener, Nobuyuki Ueizumi.
Earlier, Lu Yinan was responsible for the development of new combat weapons with Zhong Shaohua. As soon as the commendation order arrived, investigators from the Interstellar Security Forces Military Commission were ordered to start collecting information.
The interstellar security force's military rank system is different from that of each country. In order to ensure maximum consistency with the existing ranks, the interstellar security force has only four levels: sergeant, lieutenant, colonel, and general, and each level only has three levels.
Although Lev had risen one level like Lu Yinan, he was disdainful of honors and even refused to receive rewards.
Lin Xi sighed lightly. Although Lu Yinan received such an honor, in his opinion, it was not as comforting as the return of a living person.
"That boy Lu Yinan is so fucking lucky!"
Nobuyuki Ueizumi, who had been silent all this time and couldn't even make Weisi say a word, suddenly said such a sentence, and he said it seriously, which immediately made the people nearby fall silent.
Seeing Nobuyuki Kamizumi start to smile, Weiss was just about to wonder if Nobuyuki Kamizumi was crazy, when a familiar voice came from his eyes.
"Weiss, I'm back again!"
At the same time, an abnormal life reaction was sensed on the Pluto defense line. The officers and soldiers who were being inspired to fight were gearing up to regain human dignity, and preparations for combat were immediately in full swing.
When the things from the other world appeared on all virtual screens──three-dimensional perspective, a face that was in a state of embarrassment but still smiling, that moment became a classic.
Lu Yinan is back.
