The entire journey was silent.
The beautiful girl leaned against his arm obediently. The reverberations of the road were clearly transmitted into his mind. The straight road continued forward, but unfortunately, there were no lights, no compound-powered racing cars, only a lonely black mecha.
So this was not a sightseeing tour.
There was no music playing in the silent cockpit, but the humming of the engine, the soft sound of the hydraulic system, and the low and clear vibration of the metal components were like a song with a strong heavy metal style, lingering in the ears of the young man and woman.
From the corner of his eye, Xu Le saw the faint disappointment on Jian Shui'er's beautiful face. He subconsciously lowered his voice and explained, "This is a military mission. You are only a civilian, but you are willing to take the risk to be the bait. You are already very brave."
Jian Shui'er adjusted her sitting position and leaned against his shoulder shyly. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "I... have a military position. I am studying in the warship command faculty of the First Academy."
Xu Le was slightly taken aback. He immediately remembered that quiet afternoon two years ago when this national girl seemed to have been doing a set of test papers filled with structural diagrams. Perhaps that was the entrance exam for the First Military Academy?
The niece of the war god Li Pifu. Having studied in the First Military Academy, it was not surprising that she had a military identity. Since that was the case, it was only natural that she cooperated with the military. However, there was one question that had always puzzled him.
"Why did the Ministry of Defence let you be the bait? Why did the people of the Empire attack the south like crazy when they saw you appear on this planet? "
"I once wondered if it was because that old man killed the previous emperor of the Empire. They have always wanted revenge but could not find the opportunity, so they vented their anger on you... but even in the Federation, not many people know about your relationship with Feicheng, and this matter does not make sense."
Xu Le's finger moved the micro button, and a crisp sound rang out in the cockpit of the mecha. Whether it was studying in the university or doing other things, he was always used to silently watching and digesting the information. He rarely asked questions in rapid succession like this.
Jian Shui'er frowned slightly and moved her body with difficulty. Her face was full of confusion. "I don't know the reason, but since the Ministry of National Defense came up with this plan, I believe they must have their reasons."
She turned her head to look at Xu Le's side profile and asked, "I didn't ask you before we left. Actually, I also have a big question. According to the plan of the Ministry of Defense, we should be moving together with the mechanical division. Perhaps our speed will be slower, but if the Empire can really tear through the defense line … this mechanical division and your Group 7 can at least cover you for a period of time. Until the last moment when you can't hold on anymore, then you can send me to Luo Qiu. "
"Why did you go against the orders of the Ministry of Defense and take me away alone?"
"You and I don't know where the military's confidence in this plan comes from, but since those big shots are so confident, I'm sure they'll come for you regardless of whether the Imperial expeditionary force can see through this trap or not."
Xu Le said, "In that case, of course I won't go with the battalion. There will always be deaths in war, but it's always better to have fewer deaths. "
Jian Shui'er's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she was silent. After confirming the real reason behind Xu Le's decision, the girl felt a faint sense of respect and admiration. For Xu Le, this was a very simple logical problem, but for many people, it was often inconceivable.
"The Federation fighter that was covering our escape was hit by the Empire. I don't know if the pilot had the chance to jump, but I think he's probably dead."
Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked at the enlarged electronic map on the screen. He said softly, "I've signed a contract with you on behalf of the Whitewater Company. I owe you a life. You're Uncle's daughter … No matter how you look at it, I have the obligation to protect you with my life, but those Federation soldiers who don't know the inside story don't have such an obligation."
"Understood." Jian Shui'er rubbed her slightly red cheeks, and her eyes lit up slightly. Looking at Xu Le's side profile, she smiled sweetly and said, "Then I'll leave my safety to you."
"You're welcome." A sincere smile appeared on Xu Le's face, and he said, "Since the great War God has entrusted this mission to me without worry, he naturally believes that on planet 5460 tonight, only I can guarantee your safety."
"I couldn't tell that you were such a confident person normally," murmured Jian Shui'er, gazing at him thoughtfully.
"Everyone has their own area of expertise. For me, the MX mecha is my world. As long as I sit in the mecha, I don't know why, but I feel confident to the point of even being a little arrogant," said Xu Le to the girl beside him as he listened to the ultrasonic waves in front of them through the monitoring equipment.
This was his first time on a real battlefield, but whether it was the cruel and heroic scenes of the northern battlefields transmitted by the old thing or this long and dangerous journey, none of it could disturb his calm. There was no excitement or panic in his heart, only a natural sense of familiarity with the battlefield.
"Li Feng also said something similar. It seems that although the two of you are polar opposites in personality, you are very similar in some aspects."
Jian Shui'er smiled sweetly, her eyes narrowed in an extremely cute manner. She said, "I know you designed the MX, so I'm very curious about what was written on that piece of paper."
"The paper is some correction parameters. Although there were hints in the system, that engineer who made the adjustments still habitually used paper to tell me these things."
Xu Le thought of that genius girl far away on the capital ring, and said with a smile, "The MX mecha we're sitting in has already had most of its long-range firepower systems removed, and the synchronization speed of the central control system has also been slightly adjusted. This is more suitable for me to perform."
"Him or her?"
"Her name is Shang Qiu, the first-level technical supervisor of Nutshell, one of the true designers of the MX."
Jian Shui'er used her thin index finger to brush away the slightly wet purple strands of hair beside her face. Looking at Xu Le with a chuckle, she asked with a hint of innocence, "Shang Qiu … what's your relationship with her?"
…
…
"Uh, a pure relationship between a man and a woman?"
Xu Le also narrowed his eyes as he replied with a smile. Perhaps it was the smell of smoke on this planet, or perhaps it was the dry and hot air in the cockpit of the mecha, or perhaps it was the flames of war, death, and escape he had seen along the way, but this Donglin rock suddenly found a trace of his youthful playfulness. He even dared to make such a joke in front of the woman of his dreams.
However, this kind of joke was not very interesting. Jian Shui'er rubbed her nose in boredom, but immediately after, because of a sudden collision between the tracks of the mecha and a protrusion on the road, she jumped up. She subconsciously let out a soft cry as she grabbed tightly onto Xu Le's arm.
Throughout the night, the black mecha ran silently in the night wind. The journey was peaceful, but this planet was already filled with the sorrow of death. The young man and woman in the mecha did not want to recall the Federation mecha that had crashed into the plains, did not want to think about how many people were dying at this time, so they could only force themselves to be calm and chat. However, the sorrow of death was ultimately the starting point of panic, and the woman's panic was the source of the man's pity.
"Don't be afraid."
"You really don't have to be afraid, I'm here." He once again forcefully repeated.
Xu Le felt the delicate skin and soft body of the girl beside him, but there was no desire in his heart. Just like what Uncle had taught him in the past, a normal young man who had given most of his youth to his hands would find it difficult to be lustful whenever he saw a girl he truly liked.
The black MX mecha ran silently towards the northeast direction. When it was about to enter the mountainous area west of Luo Qiu Spaceport, he suddenly pulled on the control stick, and the mecha instantly entered a static state.
…
…
Looking at the latest battle situation and the detection results of this mountainous area sent by the Federal Central Computer in his left eye, Xu Le's thick, knife-like eyebrows raised. His pupils shrank, and he said to Jian Shui'er beside him, "Tie yourself up tighter."
Jian Shui'er was slightly stunned. Using the back of her hand to wipe away the sweat on her cheeks, she earnestly followed his instructions and carefully tied the straps around her body. She used a lot of strength to tie the straps around her body. Through the dark military uniform and short skirt, the straps slightly sank into the girl's soft body. In this dangerous and tense moment, the seductive atmosphere in the cockpit became even more intense.
Xu Le quickly took off his clothes, revealing his well-proportioned and strong naked body. Forcing himself not to look at Jian Shui'er's shocked expression, he shamelessly took out the simulation system from the box and silently started to install it.
Although she was sure that the boy beside her wasn't a pervert who would take advantage of the situation, Jian Shui 'er couldn't help but exclaim softly when she suddenly saw him naked. She covered her eyes with her hands tightly. Her cheeks, which were originally slightly red, were now as red as an apple in autumn, glowing red and glistening.
It was unknown when, but the two pairs of hands that were covering their faces had revealed a sliver of space. Occasionally, a trace of curiosity could be seen, and their eyes were filled with curiosity.
Xu Le didn't know that the nation's girl beside him was peeping. Only now did he remember the problem with the simulation system. He didn't have time to deal with it, so he was too embarrassed to turn around.
"It's done," he said in a low voice.
"Enhanced mobile platform!"
Jian Shui'er stared in shock at the system on Xu Le's body, covering her mouth in disbelief as she exclaimed. Her voice was very soft. Xu Le was in the midst of his final preparations for the mecha battle, so he didn't hear her clearly.
"If you can hold on, don't use the life support system helmet." Xu Le narrowed his eyes at the display on the holographic screen and said in a serious tone, "Later on, the tumbling will be very bad. You might vomit, and it might clog up the helmet."
Jian Shui'er put down the hand she had been using to cover her mouth and nodded blankly.
Only then did the orders from the Federation command center ring out in the mecha.
"Change of plan!"
"Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le! The Charter has just confirmed that the Empire's Maple Forest Alliance's Moonwolf Group has broken through the defense line and infiltrated Chenggong Ridge! "
"Command center orders you to take Miss Jian Shui'er and immediately retreat to the southwest direction!"
Xu Le was silent for a moment, then abnormally cut off the communication. Under Jian Shui'er's shocked gaze, he took a deep breath, his face slightly pale, and put on the helmet.
…
…
In the vision of the helmet was the valley behind them. In the darkness of the night, the valley seemed abnormally quiet, but … the faint sound of drums could be heard from behind the valley!
War drums!
It wasn't war drums, it was heavy mecha advancing at high speed!
The high frequency of the alloy mecha and the rocky ground seemed to be beating on the hearts of the young man and woman!
A black and green Empire mecha suddenly appeared at the mouth of the valley.
The next moment, countless black and green Empire mechas surged out of the valley.
