Chapter 602 - 294: Chaotic Situation (Part 2)
"Stay calm, these people are just kids who haven’t graduated yet. They’re a bit naive, but for the sake of their parents, let’s be more tolerant of them," said a tall man sitting next to the woman with the bun, pressing down on her shoulder. "Our task is to keep an eye on them and prevent them from causing any trouble... Just bear with it for a little while longer..."
The woman with the bun snorted coldly, expressing her extreme dissatisfaction, "Bear with it? I’ve been holding back ever since the Expedition Army’s warship took off. These naive little brats are just asking for trouble. A serious matter like an expedition, why allow a few students still in school to join the fun? I don’t have the energy to babysit them!"
Since the establishment of the top ten Alliance academies, the students here have always been the backbone of the Alliance Military Department.
However, there are always exceptions. Some people lack superior potential and talent, have never truly exerted any effort, yet they manage to get opportunities through the back door. Of course, such spots are extremely rare and they are never put to real use. At most, they are given some credit for their parents’ sake, adding a bit of shine to their resumes to make them look good.
Every year, students go to various star systems to train with the Expedition Army, just like Zhang Yiqi, the genius from Xilena Academy, who performed exceptionally during his years of training with the Expedition Army. Not only did he receive an olive branch from the Xilena Expedition Army, but he also was awarded an honor medal by the Expedition Army. This is genuinely earned through his own skills, not for show, but for honing himself and laying a solid foundation for his future path, making it easier to get along in the Expedition Army later.
On the other hand, these chirping little brats before us are purely here to join the fun, pick up some honors, and add some gold plating to their resumes to make them look more impressive. They are completely useless; let alone achieving any honor medals like Zhang Yiqi, it would be fortunate if they don’t cause trouble.
Yet these "little ancestors" have extraordinary backgrounds, making superiors reluctant to provoke them easily... Alas, not only do they fail to offer any help or serve any purpose by coming here, they even require a few people to be assigned to protect them...
Liang Xiaonuo was on the verge of losing control just thinking about it. She would rather rush to the front lines than take care of a few giant babies here!
Yet she had no clue what her superiors were thinking. Not only did they assign her to this task, but they also brought over the golden duo of Cui Hu and Lu Anchen, and even the exceptionally capable Theo Mossley was roped in... It’s simply baffling!
Theo Mossley is a noble from the Jialanluo Star System. Why he didn’t leave after graduating from Augustus and instead smoothly joined the Augustus Military Department remains a mystery. Anyway, as long as Liang Xiaonuo knows this guy is now her comrade, a trustworthy partner, that’s good enough! But! That they were assigned to protect a few giant babies...
Back in school, they were strong and proud, who didn’t have some pride? But there is a difference between being proud and being conceited beyond measure. These playful little brats... truly make them hard to bear.
Although she vaguely understood that this was a disguised form of protection from her superiors, every time Liang Xiaonuo saw those clueless little brats, she couldn’t help feeling infuriated! War, though she hadn’t personally experienced it, all those books throughout history could somewhat depict a picture of it.
War means death and sacrifice. Who on earth raised them to be so naive, daring to joke about war at a time like this?
Listen to these idiots speaking, with statements like, "If I join the battle, I’ll definitely accumulate military merits and blah blah blah when I return," "The current commanders are too brainless, being so conservative over mere Star Thief Alliance matters, my grandfather in his days blah blah blah"...
Regarding such brainless statements, Liang Xiaonuo seriously wondered what they had been fed to grow up, for their brains to develop so abysmally! It’s truly a pity for the genes of those heroic figures, mutated to produce such defective products!
"Don’t get angry, what are you arguing with a few little brats for?" Five years later, Lu Anchen had grown much taller, his facial features hardened, and he matured significantly, "Now they laugh and joke, but when it truly comes to the battlefield, who knows how they’ll perform."
Liang Xiaonuo snorted coldly, holding her knife tightly, "On the battlefield? With just a few little brats like them? Do you think anyone up there would actually let them go? If anything goes wrong... it would be our fault instead."
"Silence, there are some things we can’t say, at least not here," Theo Mossley smiled slightly, making the blue leaf pattern in his eyes more enchanting, but his voice carried an irresistible firmness. While speaking, he glanced at those who stopped playing around, "Those little brats don’t seem pleased about how we describe them."
The group that had been fooling around immediately quieted down upon noticing Theo Mossley’s gaze, speaking more softly. After all, Theo Mossley was not from the Human Alliance, but a noble from the Jialanluo Alliance. He possessed his own territory and army, coupled with his brother’s influence, making him someone no one dared to provoke.
Part of the reason Liang Xiaonuo and the others were assigned this task was also because of Theo Mossley. If anything happened to him here, the Augustus Military Department wouldn’t be able to explain it to the Jialanluo Star System...
Two days later, the Augustus Expedition Army’s warship officially entered the atmosphere of the planet where the Green Wolf Star Thief Group’s base camp is located... An hour earlier, the Xilena Fifth Expeditionary Army had already landed... (To be continued.
