A noisy wind.
A low roar.
Thousands of steel beasts lined up in a large square formation, waiting for a certain moment to arrive.
On the other hand, the owners of these huge steel beasts all had young and immature faces.
Eighteen?
No.
Among these people who tried their best to straighten their backs and stand in front of their steel beasts, there were too many immature faces, so immature that the commander standing on the command platform couldn't bear to see them.
However, this was something that couldn't be helped.
The Abyss had already swallowed more than half of the Empire's territory.
Every time a place was swallowed, whether it was people, animals, or steel machines, they would all turn into nothingness and cease to exist.
This was not a war between countries.
Instead, it was a final war that would usher in the disaster of the entire civilization as long as they failed.
In the face of this war, everything was illusory. The only reality left was how to let the civilization and the race struggle under this disaster.
And in the square formation below, a young man was looking around with an inquisitive gaze.
"This, is this the day when the Abyss Crusade Army set off?"
The owner of that pair of inquisitive eyes was Ray Mingkai.
He remembered that not long ago, he was still in a certain forest on Planet Eden, but now he was in this scene that Ray Mingkai could recall at a glance.
The Abyss Crusade Army.
This was the only counterattack army formed by the Empire after the fall of Sangu Wu City.
And the members of the army were … made up of the survivors who had evacuated from Sangu Wu City to the imperial capital.
This was a cruel decision.
However, it had nothing to do with Ray Mingkai.
Because the world that used to be had been destroyed.
Moreover, the moment Ray Mingkai turned around to look behind him, a beautiful figure was standing there, quietly looking at Ray Mingkai.
That long pink hair fluttering in the wind.
That beautiful face with a sweet smile.
And that pair of eyes that would become gentle and stagnant every time they fell on Ray Mingkai.
They were all telling Ray Mingkai one thing.
She was still waiting for Ray Mingkai.
However, the figure waiting for Ray Mingkai's return quietly shattered in the next moment, turning into streams of light that dissipated before Ray Mingkai's eyes.
This was not an accident. Ray Mingkai had seen through the nature of this world from the very beginning.
"Enough! Sharon, it's not her. Vivienne was dead. That's right. In the battle of the Imperial Capital, Princess Vivian had already died for her country. "
As Ray Mingkai's cold voice rang out from his throat, the world suddenly shattered.
Then, Ray Mingkai's eyes lit up as he saw the Long Fang Lion confronting a white figure.
"So noisy!"
Ray Mingkai looked up and stared at the white figure in front of him.
"Sharon Epp. You're not her! Don't try to trick me with this trick! "
Ray Mingkai stepped on the grass under his feet and came to the feet of the Long Fang Lion, staring coldly at the white figure in front of him.
As Ray Mingkai's cold voice sounded, the white figure showed obvious fluctuations, as if it was constantly shaking like a projection that was disturbed by some kind of interference.
"You, what are you talking about? My Knight! I'm waiting for you here! Waiting for your return! "
The white figure stretched out his right hand and issued an invitation to Ray Mingkai.
But Ray Mingkai was still unmoved.
He knew that the white figure in front of him was not the person who had died long ago, but for some reason had memories of Ray Mingkai.
"Kai, fragments. She, has fragments! "
The Long Fang Lion lowered its huge head, confirming Ray Mingkai's speculation.
Ray Mingkai closed his eyes, nodded, and then shouted.
"Sharon Epp. You're just a cold program written by humans! You, are not anyone at all!!! "
Ray Mingkai's cold eyes and sharp words suddenly made the white figure retreat.
The fluctuations that constantly appeared on her body madly distorted the illusory figure.
"No!! I, I am … "
When she dissipated, she still did not forget to stretch out her right hand to Ray Mingkai.
"I … my Knight … I … am right here!"
The two unique big and small moons of Eden gradually rose into the night sky, scattering the moonlight on the lakeside, scattering on the position where the white figure was.
"Kai."
Under the moonlight, the Long Fang Lion turned back into a White Cat in the blink of an eye, and jumped on Ray Mingkai's shoulder.
"Do you remember her?"
Ray Mingkai was silent for a moment, and nodded.
"Yes. Princess Vermillion LI Senebas, the person I once vowed to protect. "
The name that he once forgot, quietly remembered in the illusion created by Sharon just now.
That name had never left Ray Mingkai's heart, but at some point, it was drowned by some things, some power.
"Princess Vermillion. My former master! I didn't expect to meet her in such a way. "
The White Cat's face also showed a trace of nostalgia, but more of it was self-deprecating.
"No, she is not Vermillion. It's just a computer program with her memory. "
Ray Mingkai's gaze paused on the grass in front of him that was illuminated by the moonlight, and then turned to leave the lake.
"Memory."
The White Cat was silent for a moment, and shook its head slightly.
"It seems that the fragment we are going to recover this time is Vermillion's memory?"
"Or is it her soul?!"
If it was just a memory, it would not be able to make Sharon Epp do that kind of action.
Although it looked like an invitation between humans, Ray Mingkai's gradually recovering memory of Soth's mechanical beast world told him that it was a unique way of communication between him and Princess Vermillion.
"Sharon Epp. Has your biochip been replaced with a fragment of your home world? "
Ray Mingkai reached out and touched the pocket in front of his chest.
The chip that he got from Invincible East was quietly sitting there.
"State Zero, when we go back, help me do something."
"En?"
Ray Mingkai's memory of the New Edward Flight Test Center kept appearing in his mind.
He remembered that in the hangar next to YF21 and YF19, there was one of the most important factors in Sharon's incident.
Ghost-x9!
Listening to Ray Mingkai's explanation, the White Cat's eyes flashed, and it agreed to Ray Mingkai's arrangement.
The next day.
Everything was the same.
Whether it was Ray Mingkai, Garut, Yong Dyson, and the others who had experienced a melodramatic plot, they all acted according to their daily arrangements.
The sky above the New Edward Flight Test Center was still busy.
However, under this bustle, he was in an extremely tense state of work.
In the command center, Garut and Millard stood on the side and looked at the main screen in front of them.
It was a tracking camera installed on the three wingmen.
With the help of these tracking cameras, the New Edward Flight Test Center could see what was about to happen.
It was a test of YF21's maneuverability.
After YF21 entered the test airspace, the drone cluster that took off first would lock onto YF21 and launch at least a hundred air-to-air missiles.
Of course.
This seemingly terrifying sea of air-to-air missiles was just a simulated missile.
Even if YF21 was hit, it was just a false alarm.
It could not cause any damage to YF21.
"Director Garut. It's about to start. "
Millard glanced at the time, then turned back to look at Garut who was calm.
"Well, let's start! I have confidence in Second Lieutenant Ray Mingkai. "
Garut nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Millard nodded, raised his hand and waved gently. The CIC, who had been on standby for a long time, immediately sent a message to YF21 that had entered the scheduled airspace.
"Control tower calling OMEGA1. In the operation area, ALL CLESR! The atmosphere is good! "
"Roger!"
Ray Mingkai, who was sitting in the cockpit of YF21, closed his eyes slightly and allowed his brain to fully integrate with the BDI system.
Just at this moment, Ray Mingkai's heart raised a trace of concern.
If …
But this trace of concern just appeared, it was erased by Ray Mingkai.
"There is no if! If Sharon really wants to appear, the New Edward Flight Test Center will not be able to find her at all. "
Everything will proceed as usual!
"Pursuer No. 1! Understood! "
When Yong Dyson's voice sounded in the communication, a shadow appeared in the sky above YF21. That was VF11 with a tracking camera installed.
Its belly was facing the sky, and its back was facing down. After slowly flying over YF21's head at a very close distance, it suddenly rolled 5 times to the left, and gradually entered its original position.
This VF11, who made such a bold maneuver, must be Yong Dyson who was called a lunatic.
Unfortunately, the one sitting in YF21 now was not Garut, but Ray Mingkai.
Ray Mingkai, who knew Yong Dyson very well, would not be frightened by Yong Dyson's crazy maneuver.
"OMEGA1 calling the control tower, has reached the scheduled airspace, can start at any time."
Hearing Ray Mingkai's call, Yong Dyson was stunned for a moment. The maneuver just now was almost provocative, but the other party did not react at all.
"What a boring guy! However, this new model looks good! "
Under Yong Dyson's scrutinizing gaze, Lei Mingkai's thoughts moved slightly, and the YF21 accelerated and rushed out a large distance.
Naturally,
The moment YF21 turned on the acceleration, the turbulence caused by breaking through the sound barrier immediately made Yong Dyson, who was following behind, tightly grip the control stick in his hand. He stabilized his body and tried to offset the aftermath caused by the turbulence caused by YF21 as much as possible.
"Tsk! I thought it was a boring guy! Isn't this very interesting?! "
Yong Dyson raised the corner of his mouth, and his left hand pushed fiercely. The rocket-propelled backpack carried by VF11 was suddenly activated. In the midst of the gushing flames, VF11, named Pursuer No. 1, rushed out of the formation in the blink of an eye and chased closely behind YF21.
"Pursuer No. 1! Come back! You just need to prepare the tracking camera! "
As soon as the VF11 driven by Yong Dyson suddenly rushed out of the formation, a small commotion suddenly occurred in the command center.
"Hmph! How can such a reckless pilot fully utilize the performance of the body? "
Garrut frowned slightly and mercilessly belittled Brave Dyson.
Indeed.
Yong Dyson's sudden unauthorized action, no matter who was watching, would leave a very bad impression.
The same was true for Colonel Millard.
However, he did not immediately issue a recall order or terminate the order. Instead, he chose to continue to observe the situation.
In the sky, YF21 rushed into the central area of the scheduled airspace like a sharp arrow.
Following behind was a group of wandering drones. They had already released all the drones named Du Lun and rushed toward YF21.
"Director Garut. I believe the purpose of this test is to verify YF21's evasion and air combat performance. My expectation is 70% or more. "
Millard put his hands behind his back and watched the two sides gradually enter the scheduled firing distance on the main screen.
70%, this was a relatively merciful evaluation.
However, Garut's evaluation in his mind was far more than that.
"Colonel Millard. The result of this battle is 100%! "
"Is that so? That's good! It's never a bad thing to have confidence! "
Millard smiled slightly and waved his right hand. The Du Lun drone group that entered the firing distance immediately released all the missiles they carried.
In an instant, even VF11, who was in the rear and performing the tracking mission, could see the terrifying number of missiles sweeping across the sky and drawing colorful trails.
These colorful trajectories were not for the sake of looking good, but for the sake of capturing the YF21's movement trajectory in the background made of colorful trajectories when the YF21 used its high maneuverability to evade the missile.
"A new HIGH-MANEUVER missile. What a big battle. "
This was the first time Ray Mingkai faced such a lively battle.
Even in the battle with the BETA when he first arrived at Star City, there was no lively scene of him facing hundreds of missiles alone.
Despite this, Ray Mingkai did not have a trace of fear.
Because the trajectories of these terrifyingly large numbers of missiles had long been captured by YF21's on-board system and reflected in Ray Mingkai's mind through the BDI system.
Now, perhaps using an exaggerated method, Ray Mingkai's mind was a scene of the future.
"I see it!"
Lei Mingkai's brain moved. The wings of the YF21 folded downwards, and it accelerated into the sea of missiles in a head-on manner.
His reckless approach set off a wave of exclamations in the command center.
"I see it! I see it! "
Now, Lei Mingkai's mind was filled with the calculated trajectories of his movements.
As long as YF21 maneuvered to avoid the missiles according to the trajectory, there was no possibility of YF21 being hit by these missiles.
Now, YF21's speed was getting faster and faster, and it was not affected by the oncoming missiles at all.
It was so agile that it was as if the missiles did not exist in the first place!
In just five seconds, YF21 rushed out of the sea of missiles without any damage. The missiles were like headless flies, scurrying around in the airspace behind YF21.
