Chapter 28 C-Level Mission

"As the captain of the fifth squad, I am really sorry that I missed the first mission of you new recruits due to physical reasons."

Himiko stood at the front of the queue, her back to the darkness, as always, like a torch burning at night. She looked at the unfamiliar faces, apologetic and sad.

The soldiers responded with upright postures and fiery eyes. They have long admired this captain who ended the second collapse in the legend. Of course, this is inseparable from the publicity of a certain young girl captain...

Himiko turned her head and looked at the darkness behind her, "But there is another good thing. Our fifth squad will have another member... It's a cute girl, but her strength is very strong!"

As her voice fell, the sound of "da-da-da..." came from the darkness behind her.

When he saw the figure of the person coming, Mikael, who was standing at the head of the team as the captain, had his pupils shrink sharply.

"Hello everyone, my name is Ying. It's my honor to work with you and help you to prosper in martial arts!"

The pink-haired little girl looked a little dull and only made a brief self-introduction.

But her eyes were always on Mikael without any concealment.

Mikael's breathing stagnated. He had received too much stimulation today. But then he breathed a sigh of relief. It was not difficult to guess why Sakura joined the fifth team. It was probably just like Sai joined the seventh team, monitoring and assassination under special circumstances, that's all.

But Sai was eventually turned against...Mikael naturally had enough confidence to turn against Sakura - compared to Sai who had no ties, Sakura's weakness was too obvious.

Alicea, who was standing behind him, was keenly aware of his abnormality, but due to the situation, she could not ask, so she had to narrow her eyes and carefully look at the so-called "newcomer".

Sakura lowered her head and walked to the end of the first row headed by Mikael.

Himiko looked at Mikael in surprise, and then said, "I came back at a strange time. I was stopped by the staff as soon as I arrived at the base. Because the capture of Vervi that you carried out before was a D-level mission, they forced a C-level mission on me. I guess you have some experience... Now, disband immediately and gather here in three hours. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

"Okay, the two squad leaders stay."

After everyone left, Himiko looked at her two subordinates with a smile, and her amber eyes were shining. She first straightened Mikael's collar, and then straightened Ellie's fluffy hair, and couldn't help but teasing:

"I didn't expect that during the time I was away, both of you became squad leaders?"

According to past practice, the squad leaders should be the two most powerful veterans in the whole squad. If the troops suffer too much loss, soldiers will be selected from other squads to be transferred.

The appointment of Mikael and Ellie was a temporary order issued by Hen, but the Fire Chaser did not revoke the order. On the one hand, the other teams suffered heavy losses in the second collapse, and basically had no soldiers to transfer. The reason why their team's new recruits were only added recently was because the previous soldiers were distributed to other teams.

Of course, the most important reason is that these two perverts compete for the first place in the simulation training room every week. If it is really based on combat effectiveness, no one should be able to compare with them.

"Mikael, is the injury on your arm okay?"

Before he could answer, Ellie took the lead and pulled off the gauze on his hand, turning it three times to the left and three times to the right.

Himiko suppressed her smile and said, "It's good that you're okay..."

She didn't ask about the assassination, nor did she explain the origin of the newcomer Sakura.

She had heard about Mikael's little incident a long time ago, but Mikael was standing in front of her now, which meant everything, so there was no need to ask more.

But her not explaining Sakura's origin did not mean that Elishia would not ask.

"Captain Himiko, where did that little girl come from?"

Himiko shook her head, "The explanation from the General Staff is that she was transferred from a special department, but I don't know which department it is."

"She looks younger than Mikael and me. Is it really okay to let such a young child go to the battlefield?" Ellie frowned, seemingly worried about her, but actually still trying to find out her background and combat effectiveness.

"Don't underestimate her. You can take a look at the rankings in the simulation training room. Her short-term burst combat effectiveness score is just below you and Mikael."

"So strong!" Ellie couldn't help but smacked her lips.

At some point, the two of them focused their attention on Mikael again.

Mikael had been pondering for a long time, and finally decided not to reveal Sakura's identity.

"If Ying was instructed by the poison pupa, then her mission can be figured out with her toes, and there is no need to worry Ai Li and the captain."

He chuckled twice and looked at Himiko, "Captain, you asked us to stay, not to reminisce about the past, right?"

Himiko gave him an admiring look, and then took out two documents from her backpack and handed them to the two.

"This is the overview and objectives of the mission. Take a look. Do you have any opinions?"

Mikael glanced at Ai Li who was scratching her head and looked at the documents intently.

[Mission location: Mu Continent-Luluye]

[Mission level: C (Note: This level is the adjusted level, corresponding to the original B-level mission, that is, there is a high probability of fighting with Honkai beasts, and it is estimated that it is impossible for upper Honkai beasts or lower Honkai beasts over ten meters to appear)]

[Mission Overview: Luluye, the capital of the Mu Continent, has experienced multiple supernatural incidents within a month. Three blocks have been abandoned so far. After in-depth investigation, joint government investigators discovered the existence of a small number of Honkai Beasts. The specific map is in the attachment. 】

[Task requirements: Luluye City Hall submitted dozens of task reports within a month, requesting assistance from the Fire Chaser Moth. After discussion and decision by the staff department, in view of the fact that Mu Dalu’s academic seminar will be held on April 21, your department is ordered to set out immediately after receiving the order to eliminate all Honkai beasts in the block, no later than April 20 】

[Task issuing unit—Luluye City Hall to the Fire Chasing Moth]

【22:37,14,4】

Mikael raised his head and said without surprise: "A very normal mission... Well, although strictly speaking, I only performed two missions, but I see that the tasks that other teams perform daily are similar to this. It's just because of the exposure Due to the special nature of Luye and the upcoming academic seminar, the time limit has been specially added. However, the rest of the team can basically solve the tasks of this level in about a week..."

He looked at Ellie and then at Himihu, "Our team's combat effectiveness is not to mention in theory, so I don't think this task is difficult."

The admiration in Himihu's eyes almost overflowed. It was obvious that in addition to training hard to enhance his combat effectiveness, the young man in front of him had also carefully observed the tasks performed by each team, the difficulty and process of the tasks. If given time, he would definitely grow into a better captain than her... What a pity...

Himihu could probably guess what Famas was thinking, which was to treat Mikael as a disposable card, play it out, and then be destroyed together.

She looked at Ally again, expecting this girl with the same name as Mikael to bring her a different surprise.

Then I heard Aili say: "Ah~Mu Continent! Ah~Luluye! Mikael, we have never been to Luluye when we were traveling! I heard that it is the most technologically advanced place in the world! Hmm, how developed will it be... Could it be that all the buildings are made of crystal? Well, they are shiny, they must look great in the sun!"

She clasped her hands together and placed them beside her face, looking at Mikael expectantly.

"..."

"..."

"Sure enough, you can't have unrealistic expectations for Alicia." Mikael commented solemnly.

"Indeed." Himihu nodded.

"Hey, don't say that to me, it will make me sad! It's obviously Mikael who said everything he could at once!"

Himihu tapped Ellie's forehead with his index finger, "Okay, now is not the time for joking. There is something else that Mikael didn't mention. Let me add it."

"This task is not easy."

Mikael and Ellie were stunned when they heard this.

"Think about it, because of the attrition caused by the second Honkai Impact, there are many Honkai incidents that have not been processed around the world, including many adjusted B-level missions. Why should we be given a C-level mission at this time?"

Mikael frowned, "Isn't it mentioned above? Because there is a time limit, the priority of this task has been advanced."

"No, something is still wrong." Himihu said, "Our fifth team is currently the team with the most recruits, but there are also many recruits in other teams. In any case, you may not realize it, because of the existence of you two, Coupled with the performance of Irkune City, our team has become a well-deserved ace.”

"According to the four-movement-one-still response principle, the second team is carrying out the mission. The third and fourth teams have canceled the operation to capture Velvet and instead carry out the mission nearby. The remaining first and fifth teams must have a team to stay. Logically speaking, the ones on standby at the headquarters should be the ace team...

"Perhaps the staff wants to train the fifth team? After all, we have only carried out Velvet's mission after reorganization, and it failed in the end. We have no experience in direct combat with Honkai." Alicia guessed. .

Mikael read the mission document from beginning to end, then took out the map in the attachment and looked at it, and suddenly said: "I found the problem - Luluye has a large administrative scope, and the residential areas are mainly in the outer areas, including Gaia Tan District, Zojia District, and Dagon District, and the location of the academic seminar is Luluye Island in the city center. The island has an independent airport, residential and recreational facilities, and service industries. It is only a few kilometers away from the outer districts. It is connected by a cross-sea bridge, which means that the anomalies in the outer area will hardly affect the academic seminar. There is no need for the city hall to submit multiple task applications and ask the Fire Moth to solve the problem before the 20th. Anyway, the representatives will not see it. To the outer districts...Of course, this does not exclude the city hall from doing its job..."

"But there is one more thing - the report mentioned: 'After in-depth investigation, joint government investigators discovered the existence of a small amount of Honkaimon.' However, along with the appearance of Honkaimon, phenomena such as Honkai Disease and Death Soldiers have Not at all. Also, what does “abandonment” mean for three blocks? Does it mean voluntary abandonment, evacuation of all residents, or blockade?”

Himihu smiled brightly: "The insight is very keen! I believe that the people in the staff also thought of these doubts, so they sent us."

But her expression quickly turned serious: "Of course, it's useless to think too much. Only by investigating the field can we know the truth... Forget it, let's not talk about such a heavy topic... There is another big guy going to Luluye this time, and we can take a ride with it!"
