Seeing the doubtful expression on Zero's face, Caelio chuckled. The instructor sat down on his own chair and pointed to the chair in front of his desk, indicating that Zero should sit. Kalio laughed, ”Look, it's not always possible to recruit new recruits from the Doomhammer. After all, there aren't many new recruits with an average level above the third step. So in the course of a year, the training camps that you guys stayed in only open once or twice. But the rest of the time the damn bourgeoisie wouldn't let me have time, so I had to work as a dispatcher when I had time. ”

If Valkyrie were here, he would surely be dissatisfied with what Carío had said. The responsibility that Asgard had given him was not just a simple task-height officer, but a first class strategist. The release of the headquarters was only a small part of his job. His main job was to plan and dispatch the entire Asgard. In the headquarters, he had extremely high authority.

Naturally, Zero did not know about this. Thus, he only nodded his head and asked, ”Instructor, your injuries …”

”It's fine, Angie. Gulet is not qualified to kill me.” In fact, I don't even need to enter the grooves to be able to recover from this minor injury. ” He seemed to think of something, and waved his hand in chagrin, as if to clear the discussion between them. He said, ”Back to the main topic, the reason why I had the cat call you up here was to give you a task to take advantage of.”

The word ”cheap” made Zero's nerves twitch slightly, with his understanding of Callio. The chief instructor's so-called cheapness was usually tied to the difficulty.

He punched a series of commands into the light button at the edge of the desk, and the window in the office automatically lowered the shade. A screen of light appeared on the wall behind him, displaying the map of the Jurian Mountains to the west. On this 5,000-kilometer map, a blue band of light extended from Asgard's starting point to the west, in the direction of the Frozen Plateau. On this band of light, there were red and green dots of light flickering.

”These two colors of light represent the alien species that we have discovered so far,” he explained. ”Green dots represent friendliness, and red dots represent hostility …”

There were a total of seven red and green dots on the blue band of light. While they were flashing, a green dot of light suddenly extinguished and turned gray.

”This is your mission.” ”Aaron clan, this is an alien race with the shape of a half-bird,” said Callio, pointing at the gray dot of light. They retain the ability of birds to fly, possess intelligence equivalent to that of adults, and have started to use simple weapons. ”

As he said that, a three-dimensional model of a half-human bird appeared on the screen. It had a human-like upright body, but its arms were like pterodactylus, connected to the side of the body by a membrane. Aaron's model held a spear and automatically made some thrusting movements. His movements were simple but very refined. It was an effective combat technique.

”This gray dot of light is the village of the subraces. The village was small, and there were about a hundred Aaron. In these friendly alien territories, we all have Life Monitor. Just a few days ago, the life monitor set up in the Aaron village showed that all life in the village had disappeared. It's not an invasion, but an extermination, with no signs of life. ” ”The headquarters issued a series of orders concerning this matter, including the investigation into the death of the Aaron clan, and the annihilation of the Aaron clan if an enemy invaded,” he said as he smoked. This order was to be sent out in the morning, but I saw you coming back, so I'll let you carry it out. ”This is a D1 level mission. If it wasn't for me, your team wouldn't even have the authority to accept this mission.”

According to the difficulty of the task, the headquarters would classify the missions according to their difficulty. From lowest to highest were the E, D, C, B, A, and S grades. Each level is further divided into three levels by 1 to 3. Since Team Zero was only at E level, they naturally could not accept D-level quests. Therefore, they directly left the unpublished quests at zero. It could be said that Callio had already taken very good care of him.

Naturally, Zero had no reason to refuse.

”Go ahead and finish it beautifully. Then, treat me to a meal! ” Callio smiled.

Zero nodded and said goodbye. After he left, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and even became a little solemn.

The reason for the extinction of the Aaron Family wasn't simple. These adult orcs all had strength and agility equivalent to a human at the third stage of the human stage. In addition to the simple and practical spear piercing technique, it was not a pleasant experience for him to be surrounded by it. Killing one or two orcs wasn't difficult, but killing the entire Aaron Family wouldn't be easy.

Why had the headquarters issued this mission? Was it to find out that the Aaron clan was extinct because of disease? Was it a conflict of species? Or was it intentional? If it was the first two, then it would be alright. But if it was the latter, then Asgard would have to consider upgrading his supervision mode and strengthening his monitoring ability.

When he thought of this question, he naturally thought of what had happened at the Cossack military base. As soon as he and Valkyrie woke up, they reported to Ben that the command system had been used. This matter was naturally highly valued, and the two of them were requested to investigate the matter in secret. But to this day, the two of them still did not have a clue.

The mastermind was skilled and skilled, so there were no clues to be found. It was clear to him that the investigation could not be completed in a short period of time. The Chief Military Instructor was not a patient man, so he had given the job to Valkyrie.

He turned his head to look at the virtual sky outside his window. His state of mind was extremely complicated. Beneath the surface of the peace, he felt a strong sense of unease. Uneasiness was like an undercurrent, surging against the reefs of Asgard's peace.

Just as old man Kalio was about to fall ill and worrying about the safety of Asgard, Zero, who had always only wanted to make money, called Feng and the others to drive the off-road jeep, which was also rented. They followed the main highway that connected the north and the south until they finally reached the Asgard. They passed through the long and dark passage, and when the hydraulic gate opened, the walls that were used to conceal themselves were evenly divided. Thus, a world of ice and snow appeared before their eyes.

The front fender of the SUV had been removed, and a snowplow had been installed for the snow. The snowplow is an external part of the car, shaped like a rectangular steel groove. There was a thin slit in front of the steel trough, and a powerful suction device was installed in that slit. It would create a huge suction force in the space in front of them. Just like that, the snowdrift in front of the car was pulled into the steel trough. It was then ground into powder by the rolling of thousands of steel wheels. Finally, it was ejected from the holes on both sides of the snowplow.

The car sped at a constant speed of forty kilometers per hour as thick white smoke sprayed from each end of the vehicle, gradually entering the snow-covered western wilderness. The speed of the SUV wasn't too fast, but in an environment where snowdrifts piled up to a height of three meters, this speed was quite rare. The weather wasn't bad today. There was no wind or snow. The sky which was covered in ice crystals reflected a magnificent luster.

The color was very magical, but it was a pity that it was very difficult for people to appreciate it now. Living was not easy, and it was hard to have the mood to see the scenery.

Following the directions given by the electronic map, the car drove past the military base in Cossack City. It was as if the land had been plowed all over again, revealing the bare ground. Even the wind and snow could not bury the land completely. From afar, nearly half of the buildings on the surface of the base were in ruins. From the other side, it was easy to see the intensity of the battle. However, they were not even a month apart, yet they gave off a feeling of being far away.
