Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 278: Honors and Achievements (Mech Chapter Complete)

    

r."I didn't realize how composed and level-headed Lianyi was. She's actually quite promising.""When she was younger, all she had to do was study hard and pass the imperial examinations. Now that her e...Five years into the war between the United Empire and the Clouded Star Sector, a new generation of students like Ripple arrived on the battlefield, beginning their own era.

Class A, having experience fighting pirates, and with five years of intense training under Master OuYang's tutelage, pushing them to their absolute limits, performed exceptionally well. Ripples stood out as the most relaxed fighter, followed by Kate.

Sometimes, the two of them will also participate in physical training and mecha combat planning with Master Ou Yang and Teacher Song. Although their teammates are annoyed by this and want to beat them up whenever they get the chance, their strength is inferior, so they always end up being beaten.

But they still gritted their teeth and persevered, for they had witnessed the brutality of war firsthand. They knew all too well how many soldiers on Planet ZLWL had sacrificed themselves to protect them. Though they never spoke of it aloud and outwardly pretended it was over, in their hearts, they remembered it more clearly than anyone else.

Even though they complained about Ripples and Kate, every time they gritted their teeth and insisted on completing the training. This was true for female classmates like Anne and Barbara as well, and it motivated other students in the Mech Combat Department to put in their all and strive to be among the first to enter the battlefield.

When Class A soldiers went to the battlefield, each of them was equipped with a fourth-generation mecha. Du Xia Shu provided technical support and personally tuned their fourth-generation mechas, hoping they would have an extra layer of security.

In this way, Squad Alpha, led by Ripple and Kate, became active throughout the battlefield. Each battle was textbook-level, and they quickly gained a reputation for themselves.

Then came a fiercer assault from the Cloud Veil Star Cluster, aiming to obliterate this united star cluster's pride: their elite squadron. However, they were always evaded by the enemy.

In the end, they resorted to a wheel battle, blocking the ripples behind them and then began to relentlessly drain their strength, preparing to wear down this exceptional combat unit.

And Ripples and Kate are even more ruthless, they vow to leave these greedy Cloud Veil Star League players behind. This time they're prepared to win with fewer numbers and give the other side a lesson.

At that time, Lian Yi's cultivation had recovered to the Divine Transformation stage, and her martial arts level had reached that of a Saint Warrior. So, they successfully lured the Yun Yi Star fleet near the star meteorite group. Then, Lian Yi used the Lei Yao sword as a medium and with one move "Lei Hai Ben Teng" dragged the fleet into the meteorite group.

Then she and her comrades cooperated, taking a month to eliminate all the enemies. They drained the mech's energy and trapped it among the asteroid cluster.

In the end, they were found and rescued by Du Honghya. Their team was also cut in half.

Ripple and Kate, with the remaining soldiers, their eyes red from grief, brought back their comrades' bodies to Planet Blue. They then turned and rushed back to the battlefield. This time, they were more ferocious, leading an ever-growing number of warriors. After several fierce battles against the Yunyi Star people, they became renowned throughout the army.

The year the war ended, Ripple and Kate had become young generals, having thoroughly beaten down the Cloudburst aliens. They had forced them to retreat their defenses and announce their defeat.

Ripple wanted to press her advantage and directly incorporate the entire Cloudburst Star System into their United Empire, but Kate for the first time disagreed with her proposal.

"Lian Yi, ten years is not a short time. Now everyone is exhausted. If we continue fighting, it will only provoke the fierce resistance of the Yunyi Xing series. The United Empire has made its position clear, and I believe they won't dare to be greedy in the short term."

“And besides, we've already won all the battles. How can our juniors make achievements and establish themselves if we don't give them opportunities to grow!”

Okay! Kate, you've convinced me. I'm listening to you.”

The two generals reached a consensus, and the military breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the two might quarrel. If Kate and Ripples knew about this, they would definitely say: Think too much!

When they returned to Blue Star and completely entered a state of recuperation, the millstone told Ripple:

Wu Lianbo also went to the battlefield, but unfortunately, he was incompetent. Luckily, his overconfidence led him to bring down others and himself, as he is now dead in battle.

"What time is it"

"He entered the battlefield three years before the war ended. At that time, you were organizing a full-scale attack, so I didn't bother you. It wasn't important anyway."

"I understand!"

"Tasker, you have exceeded your mission objectives. Would you like to remain here"

The stone mill asked.

"Let me send off my grandfather and grandmother first, I can't let the gray-haired send off the black-haired ones!"

"Understood!"

After this call, Shi Jiu never appeared again. Lian Yi sent off General Du Lao, Madam Lao, and Wu Yishan, who was mining on the mine star, one after another over the next fifty years. After taking care of everything, Lian Yi left this plane.

Back at the Space Administration, Shiju was already waiting for her with a smile.

Congratulations to tasker Ripple for successfully completing this task!

"Where is my reward space"

"I've already given it to you, the black crystal space you obtained in the Interstellar Plane. I've also kept the spirit essence inside for you."

Shiju's beautifully shaped phoenix eyes were raised in a smile as she spoke.

The ripples rippled slightly, and she sensed the space within her dantian. Inside was the spiritual essence she hadn't used up before, along with her Lei Yao sword.

“That’s about right.”

"This time, because you eliminated the wild system, you saved a plane and earned merit."

Can I take a break now

Of course!

"Next time, choose a mission that's not about fighting and killing."

Ripple mentioned her requirements.

"Okay, I will choose tasks according to your requirements!"

The millstone smiled amiably and accepted, he had also gained some merit. At this moment, his heart was filled with joy, and he didn't mind Ripples' coldness.

Ripple turned and left the white space, falling asleep again to strengthen his soul.

Three days later, ripples stepped back into the time portal and disappeared before the stone mill.

When the ripples opened her eyes, there was deathly silence all around, only the fire in front of her was burning. She felt her vision was low, and after taking control of her body, she found that her legs seemed to have gone numb from kneeling. She tried to get up with her hands, but she found that her hands had shrunk.

Immediately, ripples confirmed that she had transformed into a twelve-year-old girl wearing hemp clothing. She was currently in a spiritual hall. Besides the brazier used for burning paper offerings, there was also a table with an altar, incense burner, and sacrificial gifts. Behind the table was a coffin made of golden nanmu wood; it hadn't been sealed yet.

The ripples subsided, and the legs that had been running about like ants finally came to a stop. Turning her head, she saw a sixteen-year-old girl leaning against a pillar, fast asleep. She was dressed as a maid, while two elderly women were napping by the door in the distance. In this vast spirit hall, only a twelve-year-old girl remained, burning paper money.

Ripple turned back, touching her eyes which were swollen like peaches. It was clear she had cried a lot.

At this moment, faint footsteps came from outside. The ripples restored its original expression and movements, mechanically tossing paper money into the fire pit.e old second's former house, which made everyone happy."I see the male classmate who came out with you is still looking at you. Is he looking for something from you Did mom hold you up"Ripple asked de...
