Views:

While Huai Cao Shi was secretly shocked by Xu Le's mechanic skills, Xu Le's heart was full of admiration and even awe for her. He had never seen such a person in his life.

In addition to concentrating on the mechanic work, Xu Le has been maintaining a normal rest, because his weak body is constantly alerting, but Huaicao Shi, who is responsible for controlling the peach miasma mecha, has to avoid the pursuit of the rebel troops, and also To keep attacking the opponent's mecha, there is no time to rest.

During the tense escape for many days, Xu Le had never seen that even if His Highness closed his eyes once, the other party was still able to maintain a high degree of concentration, and he couldn't even see a trace of tiredness!

After controlling the Red Rose, the rebel troops outside the atmosphere of Libanxing kept pouring troops into this sea of mulberry trees, like the endless waves, slapping the black reefs. A wave higher than a wave, the strength is more violent each time, but Huaicao Shi, who has no rest time, controls the peach miasma mecha calmly and almost indifferently to resist all these attacks.

Humans are the first-order machines, and Xu Le's heart reverberated with the words his uncle said. The longer the contact time, the more shocked he became. It turned out that there really is a steel-like existence in the world.

The tattered mecha traveled through the dark forest at high speed, and a young man and woman in tattered clothes were silent in the dark cockpit.

The roaring peach miasma broke through the heavy infantry barrier in the Xinma hilly area, and only a violent fighting figure was left in an encirclement under the heavy rain. A division of the imperial rebels that was parachuted into Songhai was suddenly attacked by the peach miasma as soon as they reached the ground. , the head of the division died tragically in the beheading plan...

For the promise of dying with dignity, for the responsibility of the family and the country, and for some completely different reasons, Xu Le and Huai Cao Shi work together, and they continue to escape and fight back day after day in a thrilling and vigorous manner. The battle became their whole life.

The nobles who betrayed the imperial family of the empire could not have imagined, and the soldiers who were almost frantically searching for Her Royal Highness in the Mulberry Sea could not have imagined. In fact, no one could have imagined that once the two most extraordinary people from the younger generation of the Federation and the Empire joined forces, what kind of amazing things would break out. Fighting power to accomplish almost unbelievable goals.

In the early morning, the peach miasma mecha that escaped the first aerial attack of the rebels in a thrilling manner, ushered in a rare temporary rest time. The mighty His Royal Highness does not need to rest like a god and devil, but the officers and soldiers of the rebel army are difficult to survive at this intensity. Keep up the fight.

The dim light of the morning failed to spread over the entire land, and the fog around the creek greatly reduced the visibility.

Xu Le squatted by the stream and slapped the water on his face full of stubble. The cold stream trickled down his tangled and messy hair, spreading from his neck to his naked upper body, making him tremble and feel awake. A lot, could not help but smiled happily.

Looking back, Huai Cao Shi was silently looking at the electronic manual in her hand. The pen between her fingers kept scribbling. It should be some kind of connection. The silk coat on her body was already torn into silk and changed A mecha combat uniform, which has not been washed for many days, seems to be able to smell the sour odor on it from a distance, coupled with the face full of dust, it does not look like a noble princess.

By hunting down the rebel mechas, they learned some of the situation on the Liban star, especially after Xu Le successfully repaired the equipment of the electronic mecha, Huaicaoshi contacted more loyal subordinates, and was very concerned about the current situation. I have more understanding of the situation and the inside story of this shocking assassination.

The rebel fleet has already controlled the pan-space area outside Lisaka. Although it lacks warships with long-range attack capability and cannot control the situation of the entire planet, it has successfully cut off the communication between Tianjing and Lisaka. Now there is no one. People know what happened on the Tianjing star, and the emperor in that vast group of great palaces is still fine.

This is the first aristocratic-led rebellion in the Empire's hundred years. Unlike the rebellions of civilian slaves who used to burn like wildfire one after another, the noble rebels have more resources and more powerful force.

The situation on Liban is dangerous and bizarre. Several high-ranking lords have surrendered to the rebels one after another. However, several reorganization mechanics controlled by the Governor's Palace - the most powerful army force on the planet - have remained eerily quiet. , doesn't seem to know what's going on on this planet at all, and doesn't see the flamboyant fleets outside the atmosphere.

By distributing the information from the subordinates of the intelligence agency in various places, and Xu Le's last analysis and judgment, Huai Cao Shi guessed the cause of the current situation. The Governor's Palace should have been controlled by the rebels, but Governor Ke Baoning did not surrender. The rebels, fearing that killing him would trigger a counterattack from the governor's palace-controlled forces, kept him alive.

"Probably only an idiot like Louis would do such a stupid thing. He succeeded in attacking the Governor's Palace, but he sank himself into the mud."

Huaicao Shi thought expressionlessly, then frowned slightly, thinking of several key pieces of information passed down by her subordinates. It was from these pieces of information that she never understood what she had been attacked. one thing.

Even though the reform measures of the empire in recent years have damaged the interests of some great nobles, under the strong sense of coercion of the father, these nobles dare to launch a rebellion in such a hurry

"They actually thought Caton was killed by me."

Huai Cao Shi subconsciously looked at the stream, the federal man was topless, bathing in the stream, revealing a set of neat white teeth, which made him smile a little annoyingly.

If he knew that he killed the King of Caton and caused this great turmoil within the empire, could he still be so heartless and happy

No, he should be happier, Huaicaoshi thought unpleasantly, frowning.

Xu Le felt her gaze, scratched her head inexplicably, walked up from the stream, stepped on hard stones barefoot, and walked in front of her.

He stood calmly in front of Huaicaoshi, and did not rush to take clothes to cover his naked upper body, because after the luxurious silk coat turned into silk threads, there was no half of the clothes by his side, and he did not take any clothes from him. The habit of stripping and wearing on the bodies of the dead rebels.

The more important reason is that it is difficult for Xu Le to treat the Highness in front of him as the opposite sex, so there is nothing unnatural.

There used to be a joke: a man asks a woman with a strong spirit resentfully, why are you so unfeminine? The woman replied indifferently, because you are too unmanly. In front of a powerful woman like Huaicao Shi, it is probably difficult for most men to find a clear sense of gender.

"The question you asked last time, I can answer you now." Huai Cao Shi looked into his eyes and said calmly, "Your Majesty is not dead."

The intelligence channel in the direction of Tianjing was blocked. The people on Liban had no idea what was going on there. In the sea of mulberry trees, she didn't have any information to confirm. However, it was this suffocating silence that made her The safety of the emperor was confirmed. If the rebels really succeeded in assassinating the Lord of the Zuotian Star Region, how could it be so calm.

"This should be good news for you." Xu Le said after a pause, "but it won't help us much in our escape. I have to warn you again that this peach miasma mecha won't last long."

"There has been a problem with the central wiring of the multi-engine storage room. I am a mechanic, not a magician. Once this core component is destroyed, there is no way to do it except to replace it. The problem is that we do not have large equipment for suspension disassembly. Even if there is... in the entire Mulberry Sea area, there is no trace of any new type of wolf-tooth mecha."

He spread his hands, stared into her eyes and asked earnestly, "How many days do you have to flee in this damn sea of mulberry trees before your people can arrive to pick you up?"

Huai Cao Shi was silent for a long time, without answering the question directly, and said, "The longer the time, the better."

Xu Le's eyes narrowed, and he frowned and said, "Are you trying to delay it longer?"

Huai Cao Shi smiled slightly.

As long as the Emperor of the Empire is not dead, the rebels will not be able to fully control the situation. As long as the situation on Tianjing Star is stable, the powerful Royal Fleet can easily solve the problems on Liban Star like a knife's edge.

In this dangerous sea of mulberry trees, Huaicao Shi insisted on escaping and fighting with extraordinary perseverance. Even though her subordinates had made preparations for her escape three days ago, she still did not leave, she was just delaying time.

As long as she is alive and proves to the Governor's Mansion that she is alive through battle, Governor Ke Baoning will continue to persevere.

"So it is." After hearing Huai Cao Shi's calm explanation, Xu Le said, "If things really develop according to your ideas, that Governor Ke Baoning will definitely be killed by the crazy and desperate nobles."

"I think that Governor Ke Baoning should have the self-consciousness to die for the Empire." Huaicao Shi said indifferently.

Xu Le shook his head, randomly picked a stone beside her and sat down, covered his lips with his palm, and began to cough silently and violently again.

The tragic battle in the Mulberry Sea came to an abrupt end on a sunny afternoon. The large rebel army, occupied by the dual emotions of excitement and fear, finally succeeded in forcing the ghost mecha to show its body, surrounded by countless heavy firepower weapons. Below, the tattered peach miasma mecha stopped silently in a farm like a frightened metal statue.

However, there was no one in the peach miasma mecha.

The agents of the Royal Intelligence Service who penetrated the rebels' inner circle, at the cost of their death, managed to induce a small breach in the rebels' encirclement.

Huaicao Shi, who received the latest intelligence feedback, resolutely abandoned the mecha that she relied on to shake the universe and swept the four fields, and Xu Le and the two risked great danger to follow this crack and follow a tree in the sea of mulberry trees. A secret path leads to a silk processing workshop somewhere in the southwest.
