Chapter 144 Secret
Principal Luo Hong immediately connected to the call, and to prevent Yu Hao and the others from hearing the other party's voice, he set it to transmit directly to their ears.
"I am Lieutenant General Luo Hong. What are your orders?" Principal Luo Hong asked respectfully.
Yu Hao and Ma Yangrui looked at each other, wondering what had happened. The principal's caution made them nervous as well.
Lieutenant General Luo Hong listened carefully to what the other party was saying. After a while, he showed a surprised expression. After listening to the other party say a few more words, he promised, "I understand. This matter will not be leaked in the slightest. I guarantee it in my own name!"
"Yes, I understand," he said finally, then his expression relaxed; the other party had ended the communication.
Principal Luo Hong sighed, looked at the bewildered Yu Hao and the other person, and shook his head regretfully: "We haven't seen the video just now, and we must not mention it again in the future."
Lieutenant Colonel Ma Yangrui was stunned for a moment, then asked with great reaction, "Principal!? Why? This is such a rare technology... it could even enhance the strength of our empire in one fell swoop!"
Principal Luo Hong raised his right hand to stop the excited Lieutenant Colonel Ma Yangrui, and said in a deep voice, "This is a direct order from the Supreme Marshal of the Empire!"
The Imperial Marshal's order!
Lieutenant Colonel Ma Yangrui immediately extinguished the flames of anger in his heart. In this empire, no one could disobey the marshal's orders. Only then did he realize that the person he had just spoken to the principal was actually the marshal of their empire!
Principal Luo Hong shifted his gaze to Xi Yu's file, which had been retrieved, and slowly said, "This girl has no other place to belong besides the First Legion."
Lieutenant Colonel Ma Yangrui was taken aback again.
The Empire's strongest First Legion is composed entirely of elites! This girl has incredible luck; she's already been chosen by the First Legion just after enrolling!
Principal Luo Hong closed his eyes slightly, wondering what the background of this girl named Xi Yu was. Her identity information and physical values during the test were very ordinary. Apart from her slightly higher potential value, she didn't have any outstanding features!
If Principal Luo Hong hadn't watched the video, he definitely would have missed such a prodigy!
"She chose... the logistics mechanism, the main reconnaissance department," Yu Hao said, flipping through Xi Yu's file.
Ma Yangrui frowned. How could someone with her abilities be used in logistics? That would be such a waste of her talent!
But Principal Luo Hong had a different opinion. He stroked his beard and smiled, "An interesting choice. I'm sure she can bring us more surprises than what we have now."
Principal Luo Hong then instructed Ma Yangrui and Yu Hao to keep today's conversation confidential. He concluded by saying, "This girl must be closely monitored, but only in secret. The orders from above are not to interfere with any choices she makes at the military academy. Just keep an eye on her from a distance."
Ma Yangrui and Yu Hao both agreed.
Xi Yu had no idea that three influential figures were talking about her within the same military academy.
She was still leisurely strolling around the campus with Ruan Zilu, and she also saw many new students arriving one after another to register.
"Xi Yu, what department did you choose?" Ruan Zilu asked Xi Yu in a soft voice. She enjoyed being with this quiet girl, which made the introverted Ruan Zilu feel very comfortable.
"Logistics, reconnaissance department," Xi Yu said with a soft smile.
"Really? That's great! Logistics won't be as arduous as the combat department..." Ruan Zilu's eyes lit up immediately, filled with envy.
