Li Hao and the others didn't deliver takeout every day. They returned to a quiet life, and the team training mainly focused on helping Huo Ying recover his form. A large number of newcomers had also joined. Tianjing Mech Warrior team was also establishing a second and third team, with ample substitutes. Huo Ying faced great competitive pressure, but everyone was full of fighting spirit.

Zuo Xiaotang gradually recovered. He was an optimist, and he worked hard to forget the past. Kevin, Cheng Konghai, and the others were still participating in the alliance's operations against Noah's Ark. Ant didn't really like school life; it was too comfortable. He liked this kind of stimulating battle and knew that only by eliminating these damned parasites could they be safe. Basically, good news kept coming. Maer almost spared no expense in cooperating with the alliance to encircle and suppress the remaining forces of Noah's Ark. This kind of desperate fight, coupled with Noah's Ark now being leaderless, was suffering repeated defeats. After these waves of sweeps, this old organization, which had been lurking for thousands of years, suffered unprecedented heavy losses and completely died down.

But before everyone could be happy for long, a major problem occurred on Kepler Planet. Two organized fleets stationed on Kepler Planet were attacked by giant insects and were completely wiped out. All four ground bases and the rebuilt Base No. 5 lost contact.

All that the Solar System received were distress signals.

Whether for rescue or to preserve humanity's hope for advancement, the Solar System Alliance Council unanimously passed a resolution to assemble a fleet and launch an expedition to Kepler.

The alliance dispatched four main fleets, more than ten thousand warships of various types. This was an unprecedented scale. At the same time, elite mobile warriors from various war zones and outstanding students from major military academies were conscripted. Humanity could not afford repeated setbacks and needed to settle the matter once and for all in this battle.

The mission was directly issued to major military academies.

Li Hao, Zuo Xiaotang, Cheng Konghai, and others were all among those conscripted. Other individuals such as North Carolina and the Knights of the Round Table were also included. Except for those who were seriously injured in the previous expedition, everyone received a conscription notice. Given such a large scale, it was clear that the alliance had more unknown intelligence.

Li Hao also received a long-awaited mission, Blee51: Participate in the expeditionary force, win the war, and save human civilization.

Seriously, if Blee had a physical body, he would tear it apart. What a load of crap, always raising things to a high level. Did he even know his own limitations? The key was, he was stingy!

At a time like this, wouldn't you give a super mecha? A high-dimensional suit? Or even a system that turns stone into gold? He was just ridiculously stingy!

Despite the complaining, he would definitely go. The council's resolution was worded simply, but the actual situation was definitely worse than imagined; otherwise, they wouldn't be mobilizing on such a large scale.

Li Hao didn't waste any time. He immediately used his dream ability to go to Kepler that night, but this time, he was "bounced" back.

How to put it? Kepler seemed to be alive, like a planet with consciousness that directly bounced him back. If Li Hao's ability hadn't been quite so refined, just the bounce alone would have shattered his soul.

Even so, he was like a frostbitten eggplant, withered for several days. Zhou Naiyi and the others thought he had broken up with A Youyou.

The situation at home was no longer a concern. The orphanage had moved and was now at Wu Xun's house. The old man was overjoyed, with a bunch of little devils causing a ruckus but also being fun. In terms of safety, they could rest easy.

But the situation on Kepler was worse than imagined. This was the first time Li Hao had encountered such a terrifying amount of consciousness. What exactly was it? Giant insects?

Monsters? And the Nemeil civilization?

And the "god" that Nangong Yuhang mentioned. What were they all? This expedition might be extraordinary.

Li Hao originally wanted to persuade everyone to stay, but Zuo Xiaotang was determined to go. Wherever Li Hao went, he would go. He didn't really care. Musashi, on the other hand, was full of longing. When he received the conscription notice, he felt that his life's value had been realized. His dream was to fight for humanity. He yearned for the real battlefield and was a natural soldier. Threatening him with death was an insult.

Zhou Naiyi was carrying out orders seriously. As a soldier, it was her duty. Perhaps there would be some concerns and fears, but she was a soldier.

Everyone responded to the conscription immediately. The most conflicted was Ma Long. Teacher Ma really didn't want to go. He just wanted to muddle through until graduation and hadn't prepared for actual combat. He knew too well that it wasn't EMP or even the S-match where at most he'd get injured; there, a single shell could kill you. What's more, they had to go to Kepler to fight the terrifying giant insects and the unpredictable Noah's Ark. Such a large scale didn't mean they were strong, but it hinted that the opponent was terrifying. Plus, Li Hao had reminded them, which really troubled Ma Long.

He had just started a comfortable life, and now he had to go to the battlefield?

Ma Long was really conflicted. He could choose to "accidentally get injured" or forcibly refuse to go, but in fact, not just Ma Long, but military academy life in the peaceful era was actually very comfortable. Coupled with the strong exposure of EMP, they had the aura of stars, but when it came to actually going to the battlefield, everyone would be uneasy, after all, they were considered reservists and not officially enlisted after graduation.

The Earth Spaceport, which was already busy, was even busier at this time, but most commercial ships were suspended, and military supply ships were constantly coming and going. USE's Fifth and Sixth Fleets were gathering. The Solar System Alliance was mobilizing for this expedition. Overall, humanity had a fairly positive attitude towards this expedition. Not optimistic, but we still had an advantage in terms of civilization's progress.

Of course, we couldn't be careless. The giant insects had space attack capabilities, so it would definitely be a difficult battle, but overall, humanity was in a position to advance or retreat.

Li Hao and Zuo Xiaotang each carried a large backpack. Zhou Naiyi was neat and tidy, and had cut her hair short. Cheng Konghai didn't bring anything, while Musashi carried a simple bag. Although they knew the future was difficult, at this moment they were more excited. Looking at the busy military port, the teams of soldiers constantly shuttling back and forth, as military academy students they would definitely be infected.

"Where's Ma Long? Is he coming?" "I don't know."

"He said he was going to talk to the principal, and then I don't know where he ran off to with Sheng Man."

Conscription was not completely mandatory for military academy students, but of course, being conscripted and not going would definitely have a big impact on the future. Attention!

With a loud shout, Li Hao and the others stood at attention subconsciously. Turning their heads, they saw Ma Long in an air force uniform.

"What are you doing, a bunch of rookies? Standing all sloppy. At ease. Salute. Aiya, my hairstyle, don't mess it up!" Ma Long said with a smile. Teacher Ma in his silver uniform was as handsome as ever.

Everyone swarmed around him. "Damn, Ma Long, weren't you not coming?"

"Damn, who said I wasn't coming? How can you guys manage without me watching over you? I made an agreement with Manman that if I come back alive this time, we'll get married, hahaha, she agreed!" Teacher Ma said smugly.

"Ah, why is your uniform different from ours… how come you're a lieutenant?" Zuo Xiaotang asked strangely. As the champion captain of the S-match, Li Hao was only a second lieutenant, so this comparison was a bit stark.

"Haha, there's no way around it. I'm from the Starship Department, so of course I'm joining the fleet. Brothers, I'm the only S-match champion member on our warship, so I've got a lot of face." Ma Long said proudly. Why did he come? Because as a man, he had deeply realized that he couldn't always rely on others. Status and position still had to be earned on your own. This expedition was the opportunity. He already had the glory of the S-match, and if he earned some real merits, the future would be promising.

"This is too unfair!"

"Haha, don't blame me for this. Arths also joined the army, and she's already a major. You can't compare to that. We might really become her subordinates."

"Hmm, only a major? She should be at least a colonel, and brigadier general wouldn't be out of the question." Zuo Xiaotang said happily.

"Damn, Brother Zuo, you're too biased." Ma Long said, laughing and crying. After Ma Long was confirmed to be conscripted, he immediately experienced completely different treatment and received a lot of firsthand information. He was included in the Earth Federation officer training program. This expedition was very difficult and dangerous, so brave warriors would naturally be encouraged. "I got the news that it's very likely that we are a reserve team. The main purpose of this expedition for us is training, and the fleet we belong to is very likely to be where Arths is. Oh, she's already the first officer. Isn't that awesome!"

Everyone couldn't help but be envious. This was really amazing. It was completely impossible on Earth and Mars. Only NUP could be so bold in promoting new people. Of course, the military probably also considered Arths' contribution to boosting morale for this expedition and took everything into consideration.

Li Hao was also a little happy. They hadn't been in contact for a long time, and even Dita couldn't be contacted. He hadn't had any news about A Youyou, and finally he would be able to meet her. As long as they could meet, that would be a good thing.

Ma Long was also happy for Li Hao. "Brother Hao, secretly rejoice. This journey will take more than a month. No matter how long the Dalivan family's arm is, it can't reach that far. But you have to be careful. I heard that Arths is also there, and a lot of people are eager to make a move."

Who didn't know that those who are near the water get the moon first? Not only were there elites from major military academies this time, but human society was about relationships, and a lot of people who came to get gilded were also tagging along.

Li Hao curled his lips. "Do you think my nickname, Li Demon, is fake?" He could tolerate anything else, but stealing his girlfriend, hehe.

"Aiya, I'm done for!" Ma Long slapped his forehead. Everyone was startled. "What's wrong?"

"I'm so handsome and talented, what if I'm fancied by a beauty? I heard there are beauties everywhere in the air force." Ma Long said with a troubled look. "Tsk~~~"

Everyone went to the registration office together to report, receive their uniforms, and update their personal information codes on Tianxun.

After receiving their military supplies, everyone came to the assembly point according to the instructions. This expeditionary force was composed of Earth's Fifth and Sixth Fleets, the Moon's Hanxing 2117 Fleet, Mars's First and Third Conquest Fleets, and TAS's Free Fleet.
