In the cockpit, Huai Caoshi looked through the surveillance screen at the explosions in the distance. She looked at the figure of the mecha that was fighting fiercely between the morning light and the flames. It was as unfathomable as a ghost and as unstoppable as a warrior. Her expression was still very calm as she sent clear orders to all of her subordinates in the system.
She had never wanted to kill a person as much as she did at this moment.
If Xu Le really managed to escape, how furious would her father be? How great of a loss would the Empire suffer because of this? However, she was not worried that Xu Le would be able to fight his way out of the encirclement. Against the heavy mechanical troops that the Empire had prepared for a long time, a single mecha was definitely not invincible. Furthermore, those traitors who dared to forge His Majesty's orders were most likely the trash of the civilian resistance organization. How could they possibly be able to stop the Empire's iron hooves?
Furthermore, she was already seated in her mecha and was about to give chase.
…
…
The intense battle caused black clouds of smoke to erupt from time to time. The mecha groups on the Empire's side were completely unable to stop him, and the densely packed war chariots were even more unable to catch sight of his figure. The whistling rain of bullets from the fighter jets also often only hit the dust caused by the heavy mechanical feet on the ground.
The citizens of the Empire who were watching from the street corners in the distance screamed and fled in all directions. No one knew whether those flying rocks and blind bullets would hit their chests in the next instant.
Xu Le controlled the Wolf Fang mecha and ran madly through the streets of the slums. He ran again, ran to the west, and then retreated to the east. In front of him were the black muzzles of cannons, and behind him were the mecha groups that had gathered as if they were facing a great enemy. The whistling fighter jets swept past in midair, and there were enemies everywhere. Even though he had previously successfully taken a path, the end of the path had been sealed off again.
Fortunately, the surroundings of the Great Master Fan Manor were the largest slums on Tianjing planet. An area of more than ten square kilometers had been cleared out by the Imperial armies, and there were countless densely packed houses outside. Millions of people at the bottom of society lived here. Even though the Empire's royal family could treat these people like pigs and dogs, in the end, they still did not dare to use weapons of mass destruction to destroy these people along with the Wolf Fang mecha.
That was why Xu Le had the opportunity to run around in a seemingly confident and arrogant manner.
The guns and cannons on the mechanical arms of the mechanical suit spat out beautiful flames. The Wolf Fang mechanical suit was like a hurricane, mercilessly tearing apart the obstacles in front of it. However, it was unable to control the dense imperial heavy mechanical army, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller.
The dim light in the cockpit shone on Xu Le's expressionless face. Ever since he forcefully broke through the space tunnel and assassinated Countess Caoshi, his life seemed to have become one of constant running and escaping. He was no stranger to this kind of tense atmosphere. However, whether it was Sang Shuhai and Huai Caoshi's escape, or the difficult escape that night under the lake, none of them seemed to be as tense as the situation in front of him.
Facing dozens of the dynasty's newest mechanical suits, hundreds of heavy armored vehicles, roaring fighter jets, and more than ten thousand elite soldiers of the dynasty, escaping seemed to have become an impossible mission. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he was extremely familiar with the mechanical structure and firepower of the Wolf Fang mechanical suit in Sang Shuhai's conversation with Huai Caoshi, the mechanical suit under him would have collapsed long ago.
What made him even more nervous was that he could clearly see on the radar screen that there was a seemingly normal Wolf Fang mechanical suit moving at a high speed behind him. With just one look, he could confirm that the one inside the mechanical suit that was moving forward in a straight line in the morning sky was definitely Huai Caoshi.
"If that bitch gets here, I'm not going to live."
Xu Le cursed in his heart, somewhat frustrated that Huai Caoshi's heavy leg injury had no effect on her mecha operation. Narrowing his eyes, he stared at the puddle of smelly water behind the residential building in front of him. Gritting his teeth, he pushed the control stick forward, pushing the speed of the Wolf Fang mechanical suit to the limit, and charged over with a boom.
Just as the Wolf Fang mechanical suit was about to enter the puddle of smelly water, a dense hail of bullets finally struck its tough body. The most lethal of all was a high-speed cruising electromagnetic missile fired by a fighter jet in the sky!
Amidst the dust and sparks of the bullet hitting the tough alloy armour, that electromagnetic missile came from the sky, striking the side of the Wolf Fang mechanical suit viciously with a whoosh. Hundreds of graphite lines glowing with faint blue electrical arcs shot out in an instant, wrapping around the Wolf Fang mechanical suit like a tightly woven fishnet!
A series of strange metallic sounds rang out, and the sprinting Wolf Fang mechanical suit abruptly froze in mid-air. Dozens of micro-engines exploded at the same time, and the system was put under a huge load in an extremely short amount of time. Temporarily losing control, the mecha plummeted pathetically into the puddle!
The giant mecha that had fallen into the puddle immediately exploded violently. The power of the explosion stirred up a large amount of black and grey sewage, filling the air with a foul stench. A few small shrimps with mud clinging to their limbs leapt into the bushes by the shore, quickly disappearing without a trace.
…
…
The normal Wolf Fang mechanical suit at the back of the encirclement came slashing over like a sharp blade, but it was still one step too late. It only had time to see Xu Le's mecha plummet pitifully into the lake, and then that explosion.
The imperial troops that had rushed to the edge of the puddle began to madly fire bullets at the surface of the water. The rain of bullets made the morning sky turn somewhat red, and steam actually began to rise from the small puddle of water.
The cockpit door of the indifferent Wolf Fang mechanical suit by the shore slowly opened, and Huai Caoshi walked out of the cockpit, arriving at the edge of the puddle. Her expressionless face was slightly furrowed, and she stared silently at the chaotic surface of the water.
"Your Highness, that person is dead for sure." An imperial colonel with a face full of mud ran to her side and reported, "That Wolf Fang mechanical suit was hit countless times. With such a violent explosion, there is no way he could have survived."
This high ranking officer knew very well what Her Highness was most concerned about right now, so his report was exceptionally concise and certain. Unfortunately, Huai Caoshi's expression did not improve in the slightest because of his confirmation. She stared coldly at the surface of the lake, the wings of her nose twitching slightly, as if she was very disgusted by the foul stench of mud here.
"No, he is not dead."
Huai Caoshi was silent for a moment, and then opened her mouth to say in a heavy voice, "This Federation person often appears to be hot-blooded and impulsive, but in reality, everything he does is carefully planned and prepared … Colonel Shadow, a puddle of water in the slums is actually deep enough to swallow a six meter tall Wolf Fang mechanical suit, don't you think this is very strange?"
The expression of the imperial officer named Shadow beside her changed greatly, and he looked at the surface of the lake in disbelief. He thought to himself, I saw that mechanical suit explode with my own eyes, so why does Her Highness still insist that this Federation person is still alive?
"Drain this puddle of water." Huai Caoshi said slowly, "Seal all entrances. Also … I really want to know who left a Wolf Fang mechanical suit for him."
"Yes, Your Highness!" The officer saluted with a serious expression.
…
…
What happened later confirmed Huai Caoshi's judgment. After the imperial troops deployed large engineering mechas to drain the puddle of water, they found tons of stinking household garbage in the muddy pond. They hung up the remains of the mechanical suit that had exploded, and they even dug up several large boxes of heavy weapons that were secretly hidden by a famous gang in Tianjing Planet's underground world. However, they did not find Xu Le's body.
In reality, the imperial troops found a total of 17 corpses in the puddle of water after it was drained. It was just that these highly decomposed corpses were clearly the victims of unsolved murder cases in the past. The metal balls tied to their skeletal ankles indicated that their identities had nothing to do with Xu Le.
Huai Caoshi did not stay by the puddle of water to wait for the results, because she knew very well that a person like Xu Le would not die so easily. However, she did not return to the palace, nor did she rush to the hospital to treat her injuries. Instead, she walked back to the white courtyard with a lonely expression.
An entire battalion of soldiers surrounded the Great Master Fan Manor. The heavy firepower that made one tremble with fear was aimed at the courtyard, and it could be destroyed at any time, turning it into a historical relic.
With the blood oath between the Baijin Royal Family and the Great Master Fan Manor, without the Emperor's personal order, even the craziest soldier would not dare to act rashly. Even if this generation's crazy Great Teacher had done such a crazy thing, not a single soldier dared to walk into the completely defenseless Great Master Fan Manor.
Even Huai Caoshi had sat in the mechanical suit at the entrance of the Great Master Fan Manor.
The white courtyard was quiet and serene, as if the madness of the past few days and nights, as well as the fierce battle outside the courtyard, had not affected this place at all.
Huai Caoshi walked to the two green trees, clasped her hands behind her back, and looked up at the sky. Her face that could barely be described as handsome was filled with an unsuppressable gloom. Her eyes, which were narrowed like a crescent moon, seemed to be able to shoot out angry raindrops in the blink of an eye.
The naked Great Teacher was still hanging upside down in the air, his face flushed. It was unknown whether it was because of his blood pressure, or because of the embarrassment of having his precious buttocks and private parts seen by his niece.
Huai Caoshi did not put him down. She narrowed her eyes in silence for a long time, and then asked very seriously, "Just now … did that person come back?"
…
…
Xu Le was like a cheerful gopher, crawling, running, and crawling in the dark underground water channel. His body was covered in mud and even more disgusting old ruins, but his expression was extremely cheerful, as if he could not help but laugh out loud in the dark underground water channel.
To be able to escape and survive like this, of course, it was worth a good laugh. He looked at the light screen of the map on his bracelet, and his thoughts ran quickly, trying to find the most reasonable way.
He was too familiar with this slum area that he had lived in for almost a year, even more so than the people of the Empire. He knew where the smelly pond led to, and he had the map of Tianjing Planet's underground water channel in his hands. More importantly, his temperament determined that he had to have a plan before he had ambitions.
It was just that there were many unexpected key links in today's plan. Thinking of this, he could not help but narrow his eyes. Those people who had helped him … who exactly were they?
