Mecha and Knife

It wasn't until Champion Hou left the formation of the Xinghe team alone that people finally recalled the two sentences Ji Xinghe said just now.

Just me, not us.

He wants to go around with four hundred and sixty imperial mechs alone.

Before people had time to persuade them out of worry, they saw a scene that shocked them.

Four hundred and sixty imperial mechas gave up the other fifteen mechas of the Xinghe team without hesitation, and collectively turned to the champion Hou of Ji Xinghe.

Why?

Was it because they knew that their mechs were relatively poor in performance, and it was impossible to catch up with the fifteen Zhanshan-level federal mechas, so they chose to give up?

Reasonably speaking, the performance of Champion Hou is far inferior to Zhanshan-level mecha, and the possibility of success in chasing Champion Hou is greater.

But the problem is that Tu Yuan has just made a judgment: the imperial mecha will find the precise location of the fifth base at all costs.

Judging from the running speed of the Xinghe team, the distance between them and the imperial pursuers was simply not enough for the space battleship Sanshui Ape to land safely and take them away.

Therefore, if the Xinghe team wants to survive, they can only flee to the fifth base. Either rely on the defensive power of No. 5 base to annihilate 460 Imperial mechas, or mobilize all the more than 300 Federal mechas in No. 5 base to fight the imperial pursuers head-on.

For Ji Xinghe, the Empire is willing to give up the chance to destroy nearly 300 Federation mechas, and is willing to give up determining the precise location of the fifth base.

Why?

Many people can't figure it out.

"Because of the speed."

A staff officer in the command center of the space battleship Sansui Ape expressed his analysis.

"The Xinghe team only has two non-Zhanshan mechas. The performance of Colonel Qin Tong's mecha is not weaker than that of Zhanshan, but the speed of the champion Hou is incomparable with the speed of the Zhanshan-level mecha. As long as Colonel Ji Xinghe drives the champion Hou out of the With the formation of the Xinghe team, the speed of the Xinghe team can be increased again, and a sufficient distance can be opened, and we can pick up the Xinghe team."

I see.

The imperial mechs didn't know that they couldn't catch up with the Xinghe team, and they couldn't use the Xinghe team to achieve their confirmed combat goals, so they could only change their combat goals.

Kill Ji Xinghe.

The old father who killed the Federation's 300,000 mecha fighters.

"Colonel Ji Xinghe must have figured this out, so he has to go around alone with 460 imperial mechs."

Walking alone is to save the mecha fighters of Base No. 5, and to save the mecha fighters of Galaxy Squad.

When everyone thinks that these people can be sacrificed.

When these rescued people themselves think that if their sacrifice can be exchanged for victory in a local war, then their life is not in vain.

When Tu Yuan was about to give an order to exchange the sacrifice of more than 300 federal mech fighters for Ji Xinghe and his Xinghe team in exchange for a battle victory full of meritorious service.

Ji Xinghe told them with practical actions: I disagree.

Inside the command center of the fifth base.

Several super mech fighters turned and left without saying a word, and then entered the standby area of ​​the mech fighters.

They still didn't say anything, but they played what Ji Xinghe said just now.

The five hundred mecha fighters in the standby area were more silent than before, but their eyes were brighter than ever.

It was like a flame that was about to erupt.

When the lone Champion Hou appeared on the big screen in the standby area, they looked at the four hundred and sixty imperial mechs chasing behind him.

Get up suddenly.

He stared at the super mech fighters, at the base instructor who was in charge of arranging the personnel, and at the members of the Xinghe team who were sitting in the front row but had all stood up at this time.

They didn't say anything either, but they said everything.

"Piercing armor, stand by."

"yes."

The difference between waiting in the standby area and waiting after piercing the armor does not seem to be big, but sometimes, ten minutes or even a few minutes is enough to determine the outcome of a battle, a person's life or death.

But after this order was issued, chaos suddenly appeared.

"I have three gold stars, why don't you give me a mecha?"

"My training score ranks fifty-third in the whole base. There are 320 mechas. Why can't I have one?"

"Let's draw lots, instructor, let's draw lots."

"Instructor, I want to operate a mecha, I want to fight, instructor, I beg you, give me a mecha..."

There are 500 mecha fighters on standby, and this is not all the mecha fighters in base 5.

The number of mecha fighters in the Federation far exceeds the number of active mechas. There are often situations where there are not enough mechas, but it is rare to scramble for mechas.

Because they have to obey orders.

At this time, there was a situation of scrambling for mechas in the No. 5 base. Not only 500 people wanted to scramble for 320 mechas, but also more mecha fighters who got the news rushed at a speed of 100 meters. To the standby area of ​​the Mech Warrior.

The instructors and staff who were in charge of distributing the mechas were stunned. Looking at the excited mecha fighters, they really wanted to say that if they could really participate in the battle this time, there would be a high probability that many of them would never come back.

But they didn't say it, because they knew that all the mecha fighters who were fighting for mecha knew it.

Ji Xinghe knew they would die, so he didn't let them go.

They knew why Ji Xinghe didn't let them go, so they all wanted to go.

Five hundred mecha fighters were blocked in the passage leading to the hangar in the standby area. Some mecha fighters had already been ordered to wear armor and stand by, but they were blocked by those mecha fighters who had not received the order.

When more mech fighters arrived, the chaos had already begun to worsen. The entire passage was filled with quarrels and begging, and some mecha fighters covered their mouths and were recording their last words to the bracelet.

Wang Wei did not dare to leave the command center, so he could only yell angrily through the loudspeaker, but his yelling did not achieve very good results.

When a group of mech fighters race to the death, they fear nothing.

"Find Colonel Ji Xinghe, only Colonel Ji Xinghe can make them obey orders."

Someone close to Wang Wei reminded him that the real reason why he didn't say it was: Colonel Ji Xinghe told them to refuse to carry out the order.

Wang Wei was unwilling to contact Ji Xinghe, because Ji Xinghe's champion Hou speed did not have much advantage compared to the imperial mech chasing him.

Moreover, the reserve energy of Champion Hou has reached the warning line, and the space battleship Shenshuiyuan has prepared a temporary repair cabin, which is about to start launching.

Ji Xinghe's time is very tight. If Ji Xinghe is disturbed at this time, the consequences are beyond Wang Wei's imagination.

"I'll go there."

Wang Wei still decided to leave the command center and personally resolve this chaos that shouldn't have happened, but represented the courage and morale of the Federation mech fighters.

But just as he walked to the entrance of the command center and the metal door opened automatically, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

A staff officer called him behind him, and when he turned around, he saw the largest screen in the command center.

There are two pictures above.

One picture shows Champion Hou being chased by the imperial mechs, and inside Champion Hou is Ji Xinghe, running alone under the sky that has begun to brighten.

Another image is the MechWarrior standby area of ​​the base, the passage leading to the hangar. There was a small figure, walking nimbly among the crowded mech fighters.

Fuck.

Wang Wei broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this, turned his head again and started running wildly.

"Guards, guards, let the guards pass."

Wang Wei, who was running wildly, yelled at the bracelet. He couldn't imagine how much the Federation would suffer if something happened to that little figure.

Ji Xinghe alone cannot save the Federation.

He needs mechs for his battles, federal satellites and fire support for his operations, and his teammates. He can only shine on local battlefields. So far, it has never really affected the overall war.

In the alien war of more than 20 years, the Federation was defending when there was no Ji Xinghe, and the Federation was still defending when there was Ji Xinghe. There were two fewer living bases than before, and the situation was even more dangerous.

So Ji Xinghe doesn't seem to be that important?

Wang Wei doesn't think so, and some people don't think so, because they know one thing very well.

Ji Xinghe of the Federation cannot be saved by one person, but can be destroyed by one person.

Because he can really become the king of the empire.

For his son, he can avenge the entire empire.

For the sake of his granddaughter, why couldn't he avenge the entire Federation?

Wang Wei, who already knew a lot about Ji Xinghe, even thought that Ji Xinghe dared to take revenge on this world.

Including Federation and Empire.

"What about Su He, what the hell is Su He doing?"

Wang Wei's furious running stopped suddenly, and on the screen of his bracelet, Su He who he was cursing angrily appeared.

Su He, wearing the individual exoskeleton armor, hung upside down on the top of the metal passage like a spider and crawled crazily.

The function of the magnetic attraction device was brought into full play by Su He.

Seeing this scene, it was hard to imagine that Su He was actually a war correspondent, who was not good at fighting at all, nor should he be good at using individual exoskeleton armor.

But hard work is never in vain.

Su He is no longer the reporter who can only make wishes silently. His growth over the past year, especially after Ji Xinghe privately entrusted him to protect Ji Rong Xinyue, is enough to make everyone look at him with admiration.

Crawling upside down from the ceiling is just the tip of the iceberg.

Seeing that Su He caught up with Ji Rong Xinyue who was walking through the crowd, and appeared at the front of the passage together with Ji Rong Xinyue, they were protected by instructors, staff officers, and super mech fighters who were also in a cold sweat.

Wang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that in his base, no one would hurt Ji Rong Xinyue, and he was afraid of accidents.

Looking at the bracelet screen, Wang Wei continued to run wildly.

Su He, who fell from the ceiling, looked at Ji Rong Xinyue with lingering fear, but couldn't say a word if he wanted to teach.

The body function detection system of the individual exoskeleton armor indicated that his heart rate had reached 150.

"Uncle Su, can you squat down?"

Ji Rong Xinyue raised her head and asked.

Su He was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Ji Rong Xinyue was going to do, so he stood in front of Ji Rong Xinyue, turned around, and squatted down with his back to Ji Rong Xinyue.

Ji Rong Xinyue climbed up skillfully. It was not the first time she had done this. In Suhe's teaching project of learning to use individual exoskeleton armor, one of the teaching projects was to run with her on her back.

Su He got up, and after piercing the armor, he was more than two meters tall, and Ji Rong Xinyue, who was firmly on his shoulders, appeared in the eyes of all the mecha fighters in the passage.

The noisy passage instantly fell silent.

Seven-year-old Ji Rong Xinyue faced more than 600 federal mecha fighters, without the slightest stage fright, only with an angry expression that none of them had ever seen before.

There was an angry child's voice that none of them had heard before.

"You guys let me down so much."

People were quieter, and some people had already lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into the eyes of this child, Ji Rong Xinyue.

"I know that you all want to save my grandpa, but I know even more that none of you can save my grandpa."

Ji Rong Xinyue's voice was very loud, echoing in the narrow passage.

"Because you are too weak."

"You will only become a burden to my grandfather."

The 300,000 mecha fighters in active service in the federation, based on the total population of Azure Star, are all one in a thousand. But among the more than 600 mech fighters present, none of them dared to refute the merciless ridicule of a seven-year-old girl.

Because the kid is telling the truth.

Qin Tong, Harris, the blind man, the lame man, and Su Chuanyun are all ace mecha fighters, which one is not better than them?

But they were 'abandoned' by Ji Xinghe as if they were 'a burden'.

"My grandfather doesn't need your help."

"Because he's strong, I know."

"You uncles, the only thing you need to do is to obey orders and survive."

Ji Rong Xinyue who said these words didn't know what to think of, and her eyes became rosy.

Some mecha fighters who looked directly into Ji Rong Xinyue's eyes suddenly remembered that Ji Rong Xinyue's father was a mecha fighter like them, and died on the battlefield more than a year ago.

If someone like Ji Xinghe had stepped forward at that time, wouldn't Ji Rong Xinyue's father have to sacrifice?

Just like them today, there is no need to sacrifice, at least not today.

"If you think I'm wrong, if you think my grandpa is wrong, if you think you are stronger than my grandpa."

Ji Rong Xinyue stood firmly on Su He's shoulders, her knees were slightly bent, her center of gravity sank, and she made a fist with her hands.

She looked directly at the more than 600 federal mech fighters with red eyes, without the slightest fear in her eyes, but with firmness that is rarely seen in the eyes of adults.

Her tone was just as firm.

"Ji Family Boxing, Ji Rong Xinyue, please advise."

What a 'ridiculous' scene, what a 'nonsensical' scene, but no one laughed at the scene.

People bowed their heads, unbearably guilty.

A seven-year-old girl trying to act like an adult, defending the decisions her grandpa made.

Even this decision may make her an orphan.

But these grown-ups are fighting for the mecha like children, even though they know that grabbing the mecha means grabbing death.

This is man, respectable and lovable man.
