Skeleton Elf
Chapter 506 Unfathomable Depths
Ayouyou didn't push it too far, softening her expression slightly. "Our team is a reserve team. Captain Elena's mission for us is to learn and train, to shed the rawness of military school and prepare for battle. To facilitate training and combat later on, I am appointing two vice-captains to assist with my daily work. Anluo Dan."
Anluo Dan raised his head, his eyes filled with pride. He stepped forward. "Yes, sir!"
"You are responsible for starship training," Ayouyou said. "You must be impartial."
"Understood, sir!" Anluo wore a self-satisfied smile, while glancing at Gran. That kid had just been competing with him. Dream on. The first vice-captain was definitely him. That guy could only ever follow behind him.
"Li Hao." Although Ayouyou's voice was very calm, Li Hao could still sense a pause in it.
"Yes, sir!" Under the gaze of the crowd, Li Hao stepped forward.
"You are responsible for space mech training. Train them hard! There are dozens of reserve teams right now, and I want the strongest!"
"Understood, sir!" Li Hao saluted, resisting the urge to make a small gesture. He had to admit, she really was handsome.
Maxis and the others weren't too surprised. With Li Hao's strength, he was more than qualified for this role.
"Report, sir!" Gran suddenly said loudly.
"Speak."
Gran stepped forward. "Sir, I believe that Li Hao's abilities lie in land mechs. He is a novice when it comes to aerial combat, and therefore cannot fulfill the duties of vice-captain. This is my personal opinion, sir!"
Ayouyou glanced at Gran indifferently. "The appointments have been made. If anyone is dissatisfied, there is plenty of time for testing in the month-plus journey to Kepler. The capable will rise, and the weak will fall."
"Yes, sir!" Gran said loudly, his voice filled with dissatisfaction. He also glared fiercely at Li Hao.
He was not convinced that he was inferior to Anluo, but he had to accept it. But to be told to assist a bumpkin from Earth was absolutely unacceptable.
Land mechs focused on various environments for landing battles. It was said there would be space combat, but it was basically just for show. There wasn't a single space battlefield in the entire S-Match. Starships, on the other hand, aside from commanding fleet battles, largely involved space combat – that is, combat in zero gravity and near planetary orbit. It was a completely different fighting style.
S-Match champions, well, in the starship world, it wasn't even the same level. They looked down on it.
Many of the starship elites present revealed expressions of anticipation. There were only four outsiders here. They didn't know how they had been transferred here. Whoever held the higher position determined who had the right to speak. Why should the mech department come here to compete with them in the starship department?
This expedition was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them to gain prestige. The appearance of Arths had sent them into a frenzy of excitement. Everyone was eager to show off. What if they won the beauty's heart?
That would make them a true winner in life, a chosen one.
Watching the group of grinning starship students, Maxis, Basta, and Dumera couldn't help but laugh. These people really had no idea how deep the water was in front of them.
"Dismissed. Li Hao and Anluo, stay behind," Arths said lightly. She had to maintain a cold demeanor, or she really wouldn't be able to control these unruly experts.
The others left reluctantly. Anluo wore a smug expression. Ever since he learned that he would be on the same warship as Arths on the Hurricane, he had been anticipating it. If he had any rivals, it would definitely be Hilian of the Morpheus family. But that biggest rival was gone. What could be happier than that?
Arths looked at the two of them without changing her expression. "Major Anluo, there is a high probability that we will participate in this campaign, so training during this period cannot be relaxed at all. I'm leaving the space mech training to you. Make sure the intensity is high."
"Don't worry, I will give everyone a brand new experience. Galaxy is the best in this area," Anluo Dan said with a smile. Although he didn't win the S-Match championship, Galaxy still dominated in overall strength. It could only be said that Arths' performance was too stunning.
Arths nodded. "You may go."
Anluo Dan was stunned. He glanced at Li Hao, looking distrustful, as if Li Hao was very dangerous.
"Is there anything else?" Arths glanced at Anluo Dan indifferently.
"No, sir, I..." Anluo Dan wanted to say that earthlings were unreliable, but he could only grumble about it in private. If he said it formally, he would be confined for a few days at the very least.
This expedition required the cooperation of the four major war zones. Anyone who tried to undermine unity would not have a good time.
Anluo Dan knew that Arths definitely wanted to appease the earthlings. This was a matter of overall strategy. But these earthlings really didn't deserve to be alone with their goddess!
He glared at Li Hao viciously as he left.
As the door closed, Li Hao wanted to breathe a sigh of relief. He was really used to being lazy. Suddenly being so serious was really not easy to adapt to.
"Attention, soldier! Your attitude is not correct!" Arths criticized sternly. "Having come to the Hurricane, you must study diligently, correct your attitude, and improve yourself!"
"Report, sir, I can't be serious, I'm being targeted, and I'm not happy," Li Hao said.
"Ahem, soldier, then how can you be a little happier?"
"Sir, coax me."
Their eyes met and melted. Li Hao had no resistance to Ayouyou in her military uniform. Ayouyou still wanted to resist a little, after all, the situation here was still a bit dangerous, but a deep kiss left Ayouyou breathless. Her soft, moist lips made Li Hao even more aggressive...
Finally, some of the longing was relieved. At this time, Ayouyou's face was flushed red. Where was the majesty of a commanding officer?
"Hmm, Hao, don't wrinkle my clothes, it will look strange," Ayouyou said helplessly. She had to be serious and cold, after all, given her situation, even a little gentleness would cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Watch me!" Li Hao's right hand emitted heat, his palm turned red, and he began to iron out the wrinkled clothes with his hand, leaving Ayouyou dumbfounded.
"I didn't expect that the famous Demon Li would actually be a domestic handyman."
"I'm a homebody, a traveler, a murderer, an arsonist, I can do anything. The headmaster praised me as a good-looking young man since I was little," Li Hao said happily.
"Is that so? The headmaster said that you were the biggest headache when you were little. You never said a word, and everyone thought you were an autistic boy. How come you're so talkative now?" Ayouyou said with a smile. "Or, can you put me down?"
"That won't do," Li Hao shook his head. "Why did you participate in this expedition?"
Ayouyou rolled her eyes at Li Hao. "Hmph, what else could I do? Did you expect me to convince the whole family? I don't listen to them, and they don't listen to me, so I started thinking of ways. In the end, they will have to listen to me. I prepared a lot of plans."
"You're so good to me, I can't repay you, so I can only pledge myself to you," Li Hao said.
"Why does it sound like I'm at a loss?"
"How could that be? The effect of force is mutual," Li Hao said with a smile. Teacher Ma said that men should be generous, have thick skin, and eat soft rice with a hard attitude. "What about Tita? Will it implicate her? It seems like her Heavenly Communication has also been turned off," Li Hao asked.
"Sister Tita has been criticized, it's a bit miserable, but she also escaped through this expedition. I think although the family is opposed, it doesn't seem to be that strong. They still recognize your ability very much. Oh, Sister Tita said that you have to treat her when you meet, a big one. One Ocean Heart is far from enough," Ayouyou said with a little pride.
Li Hao's heart trembled. This was a blatant robbery. "Isn't she on another fleet? There shouldn't be a chance to meet."
Ayouyou couldn't help but laugh. "Hmm, Hao, I'm afraid you can't escape. We're on the same fleet, although not the same warship, but we're both on the main warship. There will be opportunities to go to the mother ship."
The sound of the door code being scanned rang out. Li Hao quickly put Ayouyou down and took two steps back. Ayouyou opened the door.
"Lieutenant Li Hao, in short, this time you must quickly adapt to aerial combat and bring out your abilities. As for the rhythm of the entire training, it must be strengthened. I hope that every soldier can get the most out of it." At this time, the gentle Ayouyou turned back into the heroic Lieutenant Colonel Arths, but the blush on her face had not faded.
"Yes, sir, I guarantee to complete the mission. Starting tomorrow, I will make them forget who they are in training!" Li Hao saluted.
The messenger who came in saluted. "Sir, the captain wants you to go to the conference room for a fleet meeting."
Arths nodded, signaling Li Hao that he could leave. Li Hao blinked. He had to admit that his Ayouyou was really extraordinary, with super strong crowd control ability.
The Dalivens did not approve in principle, but Arths was very independent, and the ability she displayed was also very amazing. The Daliven family had grown to the point where they didn't really need a marriage alliance, especially when Arths didn't care about the position of heir. She actually had greater freedom, but threats and coquetry were very ineffective and childish, and would only be looked down upon by the family. This time, Su Yu also helped, and an Ocean Heart played a big role. In fact, Li Hao was capable now. Not to mention that the S-Match championship gave him enough influence, his influence among the new generation of elites on Earth and other war zones was also very great. Being able to win the respect of Maxis, Basta, Chao Qinglong and others was far more influential than a championship.
It was no exaggeration to describe him as having unlimited potential. The key was that the two were also like-minded, which was even more rare. In the past, there was a "spare tire", but the spare tire that the family was optimistic about was about to reincarnate, so Li Hao appeared in this expedition and came to the Hurricane where Ayouyou was.
This was also a very good sign, but the family was picky, especially about Ayouyou's situation. If Li Hao took a fancy to Tita, the family would applaud and approve.
This was said by Tita's father at the family meeting, which made Tita almost explode on the spot. If it wasn't her own father, she would have beaten him so badly he wouldn't be able to get up. What was wrong with her?
