As Nie Yun and Ishar exchanged meaningful looks, Peacock Man, left standing to one side, burned with jealousy.
"Next, all commanders, please check your assigned missions and proceed to the designated locations to join the main forces at the front, as instructed..." The officer presiding over the meeting began handing out assignments.
Beep! Nie Yun's Personal Terminal soon received his assignment.
"Counteroffensive force?" Nie Yun frowned at the mission briefing in his hand.
Although some information had been withheld for confidentiality and few details were provided, this was undoubtedly part of the counteroffensive plan Peacock Man had just mentioned. What was more, it was an assignment for the entire Pioneer Legion...
Nie Yun glanced up at Ishar and found her frowning at her own Personal Terminal as well.
Clearly, Ishar had also realized how risky this mission could be.
Had someone gone out of their way to target them even with their combat assignment...?
Was this aimed at me again?
There were risks, of course, but what combat mission on a battlefield was risk-free?
The internal systems of the Twin Stars military were already highly developed. Sitting back and raking in military merits without taking any risks was virtually impossible, even for the chairman's son.
Risk meant military merit!
That was a widely accepted belief within the Twin Stars military.
Even Nie Yun had only earned his subsequent promotion of three ranks by "barely escaping the Solar System alive," combined with his family pulling every string they could behind the scenes.
That was also why the top families fought tooth and nail to send their younger members to the front against the Wulf Civilization.
Losing a family member in battle was regrettable, of course, but large families had plenty of descendants. The world would keep turning no matter who died.
