The General of the Fourth Army's right arm has been wrapped. His own injury has not yet recovered, and he has received news that the juniors he admired are missing. They are all front-line troops/people, and they know very well what these two words mean.

The legions under his command suffered serious casualties, and it was difficult to operate every day... The second legion was assisting him on the front line. He also knew the situation of the second legion, and it was very reluctant to take over the third legion.

"Recruit troops." General El of the Fourth Army agreed.

The video conference was silent for a moment. When the federal war situation is good, of course they will disclose the situation to the outside world appropriately to cheer up the masses.

But when the situation is bad, they generally do not announce it to the outside world to reassure the people.

Once the soldiers are recruited, the scar cannot be covered up, and the quality of the temporarily recruited soldiers is completely different from that of soldiers who have been trained for many years, so it takes a long time.

I'm afraid the water far away cannot dissolve the fire near.

"I formally apply to start search and rescue, and the Third Army will come forward." Huo Lan said hoarsely. As long as Lu Xiao has a chance to survive, he will search and rescue. Every minute he delays here may be wasting Lu Xiao's life.

"No!" Many people in the senior management retorted, and taking into account the presence of General Lu, they stopped talking.

In fact, their opposition was based on the federal standpoint. The Third Army branch under Holan usually suffered daily casualties. This time, Lu Xiao supported and killed more than half of the elite troops he brought with him in the mission to kill the Zerg Queen.

The damage to both personnel and spacecraft mecha has been extremely serious.

Huo Lan is already extremely capable for being able to barely form an organization. There are still Zerg on the planet below, and the Zerg Queen is dead. Aden will no longer stay on the ground... They will be in danger if they are too close to the planet, and any weapon effects

It's very small. The top priority is to get the Third Legion back to reorganize the army, try to treat the wounded soldiers, repair the spaceship and mecha, and replace it with new weapon systems.

As for Lu Xiao, no one can survive in this kind of environment... Lu Xiao and his lieutenant are only two people, and he is still disabled...

Although he is missing, everyone here has already tacitly converted these two words to "died in the line of duty", and there is no need to join the army anymore.

But General Lu Xiao is the only son of General Lu, and their opposition will only hurt General Lu.

Everyone was on the verge of getting out of the way. They wanted to reject Huo Lan's request, but because General Lu couldn't open his mouth, El of the Fourth Army opened his mouth slightly, but after a while, he let out a long, silent sigh and kept silent, looking lonely.

He had watched Lu Xiao grow up since he was a child. This kid was outstanding in everything, but he was a little bit unlucky... Something happened on the battlefield, and he finally found his favorite omega and became a partner with him.

My child, everything was on track, but it ended up like this at this time.

El thought of his passing by Ling Cen in the military building, and the meeting at the military dinner... Ling Cen was a presence that was hard for alpha to ignore. He was stunningly beautiful, and his slight smile would turn the attention of the entire audience.

The focus is such a seemingly frivolous omega, but he is devoted to Lu Xiao.

Now he really hopes...that kid won't be so honest-minded, and he won't feel relieved even if Lu Xiao is gone.

In the silent conference room, where you could hear the drop of a needle, El's sigh seemed very harsh. The corners of Holland's eyes turned red, and he bit the tip of his tongue to maintain a steady tone and repeated: "The Third Army requested to start search and rescue."

"Rejected." Old General Lu said in person.

"The Third Army no longer has the strength to carry out search and rescue operations. Please return to the rear to rest and recuperate. The Second Army will take over." Old General Lu said calmly, extinguishing his child's slight hope.

He could not let the remnants of the Third Legion, tens of thousands of people, stay in space without supplies and support, forcing them to land on a planet with hundreds of thousands of Zerg to search and rescue his children.

"It will take time for the Second Army to turn around, and their condition is also very unhealthy." General Nash did not attend the meeting, and El had no choice but to answer for him...

Now the federal front is stretched too long, like a sieve, with soldiers missing everywhere, every legion is operating at full capacity, and the second legion is also damaged.

"It will take them at least four days." before they can take over Holland's position, El calculated in his mind and shook his head helplessly.

"Can the First Army come to support the Fourth Army?" the high-level alpha asked.

Old General Lu pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "I can only allocate 20,000 people to him..."

El nodded repeatedly... He faced the Zerg Queen, and 20,000 reinforcements were a drop in the bucket, but the situation of each legion was not good, and 20,000 was already the opponent's limit.

His son Lu Xiao didn't even have reinforcements from the opponent... he and Huo Lan could only temporarily assemble a team of more than 10,000 people and kill the Zerg Queen who was still in the growing stage.

El's predicament was barely solved, but everyone still frowned. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Where can they turn into a group of well-trained soldiers?

"I..." Huo Lan was so emotional that he couldn't even speak for four days! What if Lu Xiao was still alive? This was to drag Lu Xiao to death. He could leave Lu Xiao for the time being and take care of the overall situation, but he couldn't leave his own.

Friends.

"The meeting is over." The senior management did not listen to Holland's request and ended the meeting directly. The arranged evacuation plan of the Third Army will be sent to Holland later.

"Huo Lan..." General Lu was not offline, and he spoke hoarsely after a moment of silence.

"Uncle, I'm sorry." Huo Lan burst into tears instantly and couldn't control his emotions.

Old General Lu shook his head and whispered: "This is what he should do, it is his choice."

"What you have to do now is obey the order and take the soldiers of the Third Army home."

"But..." Lu Xiao is still outside! Huo Lan shook his head. How could he not know that his subordinates urgently needed to return to the rear to rest and recuperate? He forced the search and rescue to start, but he could only let his subordinates re-enter, because after losing the Zerg Queen, he had already fallen into a manic state.

Among engineers and soldiers, Zerg, Lu Xiao has little hope.

"The Zerg are difficult to deal with. It is difficult to predict whether the Federation will be destroyed this time. You are a Federation general. You have no right to lead the Federation's troops to deviate from their mission." Every army is now important in supporting the operation of the Federation military.

part of.

His son was very important, but not to mention that Lu Xiao was probably dead. Even if he was still alive, he would be nothing more than a feather in front of the seven billion federal people.

Huo Lan felt that he was at a loss in his heart. Lu Xiao saved him, but he was going to leave him? Is there really a difference in the importance of righteousness and small matters?

A thought suddenly came to Huo Lan's heart...fuck...no matter what, let the Federation die. He was going to send all his men down now and must bring Lu Xiao back. No matter whether he was alive or not, the body could still be put together.

For a few dollars, he would take the other person home.

Lu Xiao has devoted his life to the Federation, and he should not have ended up being slowly eaten away in the Zerg lair.

"Lu Xiao did what he should do. Now it's up to you to perform your duties. Retreat and let the Second Army take over." Old General Lu said calmly. The armrest of the seat cannot be seen in the video. Old General Lu made a fist with his right hand and pressed his thumb on his index finger.

On the bed, the joints cracked.

How could he not feel pain when his beloved son passed away?

Huo Lan raised his head angrily and wanted to argue again, but when he saw General Lu's gloomy face, he felt sad in his heart and whispered: "Yes, General..."

Lu Xiao did not have time to explain his last wish, but he would serve the Federation until his death. I am afraid that doing so would go against the wishes of his friends.

Before leaving, Huo Lan scanned the Zerg lair for signs of life for the last time. Outside of the layers of Zerg thermal images, Lu Xiao was not there.

"Drop bombs." Holland cleaned the battlefield in accordance with the military requirements, closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, he circled an area on the holographic screen and whispered: "Make a quantum shielding force field here."

The place he circled was the entrance to the Zerg clearly in his memory, and Lu Xiao was here...

He still couldn't annihilate his friend's body as well.

The Third Army withdrew in a hurry and lacked troops. Admiral Nash had not yet arrived. There was a vacuum on this planet for a few days, and the second-line army relied on the full strength of the second-line army to maintain the front.

Emperor Xing, Ling Cen has been in panic for two days.

It's hard for him to explain his feelings clearly, he just feels that...a part of himself, no, a large part of himself has left him, and the whole person is empty.

"Mom, why are you saying there's no news from the front line?"

"Lu Xiao won't video chat with me anymore." Ling Cen pushed away an untouched fruit plate at hand and whispered anxiously.

"He is busy with work." Mrs. Lu responded with a smile, paused slightly, and then smiled: "Don't think too much, just pay attention to your health."

"Hmm..." Ling Cen felt that Mrs. Lu was a little strange, but couldn't tell what was strange, so she had to put it down for the time being.

The frontline recruitment was going on, but other than that everything was calm. Ling Cen was making a mental calculation. No matter what, Lu Xiao would contact him, so he could rest assured!

In the end, Ling Cen was still not in the mood to eat fruit. After chatting with Mrs. Lu for a while, he went upstairs to rest. He frowned slightly, smoothed the light green striped tablecloth on the dining table, and removed the two beautiful and decadent two pieces inside.

I picked out the red roses and held them in my hands. I wanted to take them outside and throw them away, then go to the flower room to cut two new ones and bring them back.

No matter what the home was like when Lu Xiao left, he wanted his lover to see everything in the home as before when he came back.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Lu's face fell, and she sat slumped on the sofa. She wanted to cry out, but she was afraid of shocking the child or making Ling Cen's eyes swollen, so she had to hold back.

Her heart had been broken countless times in the past two days. Her husband would not hide such crucial information from him. The entire Imperial Star hierarchy should have known about it, right?

It's just not announced to the outside world yet.

Ling Cen didn't have many friends at their level, so she could keep it a secret for the time being.

But Ling Cen will find out sooner or later...

Mrs. Lu's thoughts flashed rapidly, and the anxiety in her heart was intertwined with the pain of losing her beloved son. She covered her chest with one hand and tried to calm down.

The terminal in her hand vibrated slightly, and Mrs. Lu regained her composure and picked up.

"...I will be back on the Emperor Star soon." Anna whispered on the opposite side of the video. She was not on the Emperor Star when the accident happened. After receiving the news, she rushed back as soon as possible to accompany Handkerchief to tide over the difficulties...

Mrs. Lu's eyes were slightly red, she shook her head and said, "Anna... Lu Xiao is gone... I love him very much."

"Chinese people say that it is extremely painful for a white-haired person to give a black-haired person a gift, and that the child is unfilial, but Lu Xiao is obviously very good..." Mrs. Lu couldn't bear it anymore, and big tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

"What should Ling Cen do? He is only in his twenties..." At this time, she could only keep what she had. If Ling Cen was unkind and unjust, she would be relieved. At least the children and adults were saved, but Ling Cen

Cen is not...

Yan lost his lover and died in mourning. I am afraid that once Ling Cen learns the news, the fresh breath will be taken away from his body.

Her son, daughter-in-law and children were gone, and the family was broken up.

Anna opened her lips slightly, and just as she was about to respond, a dull sound came from upstairs.

"Ouch!" Someone is coming! Little Rose howled anxiously and screamed at the entire villa.

Mrs. Lu did not sit in the living room, but just had a video chat with Anna outside on the first floor. After hearing the sound, she ended the communication and quickly got up and walked over.

Corresponding to the ground on the first floor, where the upstairs stairs twist, on the cloud-shaped marble floor, two fallen red roses lay quietly. When they fell, a few petals scattered and fell to the ground. Mrs. Lu smiled slightly.
