The sky was full of wind and sand, and Li Boyong and Shihe returned to the land where they first came to the golden world.
"This kind of wind gives me the feeling of war!"
Riding on a military jeep, Li Boyong stood upright in the back seat, feeling the long-lost Middle Eastern wind and sand, and then made a joke.
The armed convoy sped along, passing the airport under construction and entering the rapidly changing capital city of Ancra.
"That girl seems to be working hard."
Li Boyong looked at the surrounding buildings and commented.
Indeed, the changes in the capital city were beyond Li Boyong's expectations, so much so that the armed convoy he carried seemed out of place with the city.
It comes from a saying by a poet that Li Boyong doesn't like very much, you stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs.
He was looking at the scenery along the street with great interest, and many people in the crowd on the street recognized the famous Tiger of Ankra.
"It's the tiger, the tiger is back."
An owner who opened a grocery store in a commercial street after retiring from the army due to injury saw the passing motorcade and shouted in surprise.
"you are back!"
When the city guard soldiers on patrol saw Li Boyong's convoy, they saluted and gave way.
"Is there going to be another war?"
There was also a woman who had just gone shopping and saw this. She looked at the city's administrative building with a worried expression, "My Lady Saint..."
"Are we going to fight again?"
The nephew of a certain great elder showed a thoughtful expression.
People have had mixed reactions to the return of Li Boyong, the Tiger of Ankara.
Some simply welcome the return of the hero, some are worried about a new round of political turmoil in the country, and some are simply gossiping about the love-hate relationship between the Tigers of Ankara and the Saint of the Middle East.
Yes, similar gossip has always been circulating among the people of Ankra.
After all, after Li Boyong left Ankrastan, Wang Liumei carried out intelligence operations according to Li Boyong's instructions, making people mistakenly think that Li Boyong was defeated in the political struggle and ran away.
But afterward, some people analyzed that something was wrong. After all, Li Boyong had a very high reputation in the country at the time. If he had military power and launched a coup, it would be difficult for Wang Liumei to resist.
So some good people figured out the love-hate relationship between the Tiger of Ankara and the Saint of the Middle East, and it gradually spread among the people.
Later, it was revealed that the Holy Lady had rejected several marriage requests from famous surnames, and more gossips had become a must-have topic for housewives after dinner.
Back to business, Li Boyong's motorcade drove directly to the administrative building where Wang Liumei was located, and the Xia sisters were already waiting downstairs to greet them according to Wang Liumei's instructions.
————
At the same time, Zongsuke, who was far away in Tokyo, once again boarded the stealth helicopter that Mithril came to greet him, and returned to Merida Island, the base of the Mithril West Pacific Team.
There, Zongsuke accepted the transfer order from the combat headquarters.
It is necessary to temporarily mobilize Sousuke and the ARX-7 crossbow to go to Central Asia to perform a secret mission with the Mithril team there, which is to obliterate Kowloon.
The origin of the matter is that the Mithril Intelligence Department photographed Jiulong in Hermakistan a few days ago. In view of the danger of the target person, the Operations Department arranged an operation to eliminate Jiulong.
Taking into account Sousuke's experience in several battles with Kowloon and his several years of guerrilla experience in Hermakistan, the combat headquarters strongly requested the addition of Sousuke and his Lambda drive-carrying aircraft.
"Sorry, you should be playing with Chidori at the beach at this time."
Tessa, who personally assigned the task to Zongsuke, apologized to Zongsuke with some shame.
After realizing her own feelings and asking Chidori to 'declare war', Tessa felt that such behavior seemed to be using her power to take Sousuke away from Chidori.
Deep down in her heart, she is extremely strong and doesn't like such behavior, but this is the request of the combat headquarters, and she can only carry it out.
"Colonel, you have nothing to apologize for."
Standing next to Tessa, Zongsuke stared at the man's figure on the screen, lowered his voice slightly, and said: "And I also want to settle with that guy, so I am honored to be able to participate in this event." Task."
After saying that, Zongsuke gave a military salute and left Tessa's office.
Tessa was left alone in the office, holding her forehead helplessly with both hands, praying for Sousuke's safe return.
A long-awaited homeland, an arduous mission, teammates who have never met before, and the most familiar enemy.
All factors seemed to indicate to Zongsuke the difficulty of this mission.
But he still didn't waver at all. He just planned to do his best, use the crossbow to go to that land to make an end, and then come back to the girl.
Taking the machine with him and transferring to several military airports belonging to Mithril, Zongsuke finally merged with the team members of this mission. Unfortunately, the first meeting was as unpleasant as Zongsuke expected.
If you are not very familiar with him, no one will trust a warrior of your age.
Sousuke was already prepared for this, after all, it was the norm in the industry.
Listening to the noise of his teammates joking with each other, Sousuke spent several hours flying with his eyes closed.
It was a really torturous few hours, not because of the deliberate ignorance of the temporary teammates, but because of the mixed emotions about setting foot on a homeland that had been away for many years.
The flames of civil strife, the smoke in the sky, the companions of the guerrillas, the residents of the village, the commander who is his adoptive father, and a steady stream of enemies.
Everything kept flashing through Zongsuke's mind like a revolving lantern, and the memories that had been sealed away for many years came to his mind again.
But the ordeal was finally over. Sousuke drove the crossbow and fell from the transport plane together with his teammates' M9s.
Then AS used the parachute to slow down, and Sousuke returned to this land again.
At the same time, at the border between Ankrasta and Hermakistan, an armed convoy was secretly crossing the border and entering Hermakistan.
Officially on board the convoy were Li Boyong, Shi He, several subordinates, and of course several ASs.
Mithril got the information about Jiulong's presence in Hermakistan. Li Boyong, who was familiar with the plot, knew more clearly and knew exactly what kind of goods Jiulong brought to Hermakistan this time.
Nuclear bombs, this poem and something that causes unpleasantness when heard, were sold to Hermakistan in amalgam.
Therefore, the organization Amalgam is really annoying, and it can buy such dangerous things from its neighboring countries casually.
Although Zongsuke did block the transaction in the plot, Li Boyong still brought a few elites here just in case.
After all, you can see if you can take the opportunity to kill Jiulong and at the same time complete the system's tasks.
[Faction Mission. Ankrastan]
Prevent the secret nuclear weapons trade carried out by the neighboring country and seize the traded goods. (Success will reward ten plot points and one hundred reputation points for the camp.)
