Mo Lan Star arena.
The four military academies, ranked according to their preliminary scores, entered the arena and advanced according to the maps they drew. The Yosel Military Academy, which entered first, led the way.
Qin Su and Yu Jinzhou walked in front, protecting Wei Minghe and Changli behind them, while Wei Minghe also stood in front of Changli in a protective posture.
Xie Yizhi brought up the rear of the team, guarding the back.
Changli looked at the three S-class teammates who were forming a triangular defensive formation to protect him.
He thought they were making a bit of a fuss.
With his current super S-class mental power and unpredictable talisman spells, even if Xia Xuyan and Song Jinghua had more tricks up their sleeves, it would be useless.
He was more than capable of protecting these teammates.
But since Wei Minghe was the main team commander, he would listen to Wei Minghe’s arrangements for now!
As for the crazy couple Xia Xuyan and Song Jinghua, they definitely wouldn’t survive the second game.
Only the last ten days were left of the forty-nine days.
Even if Changli didn’t target them in the arena, this couple wouldn’t live to see the end.
Zhou Xiuran, watching the live broadcast outside the arena, was very satisfied with Qin Su and the others’ behavior of protecting his cub, and the smile on his face became a bit more genuine.
Qin Su is indeed the mecha combatant I chose!
Yu Jinzhou, the son of his wife’s younger sister, was also good, and the Wei family kid who actively sided with him after the preliminary round was also quite sensible.
Wei Minghe is a smart man who knows how to measure things.
Putting Wei Minghe beside his cub to protect him gave him some comfort. At least Xia Xuyan couldn’t plot against his son.
The teams from the four military academies in the arena accelerated their advance according to their chosen routes, with the Alexston Military Academy bringing up the rear.
The Yosel Military Academy, leading the way, encountered a roadblock team formed by military region soldiers on their way forward, and dense artillery fire bombarded them.
“Bang, bang, bang——”
Upon seeing this, the entire Yosel Military Academy team quickly entered their mechas and activated combat mode. Xie Yizhi and Yu Jinzhou, the main team’s S-class mecha combatants, faced the opponents.
They were unlucky to encounter roadblockers and could only fight.
Wei Minghe commanded the entire team to fight, while Qin Su stayed by Wei Minghe and Changli’s side to protect them.
Changli raised his eyes and glanced at the roadblock team in military uniforms in front of him, his calm gaze lingering on their different uniforms.
Suddenly, some images flashed in his mind.
Amidst the sky-filled artillery fire, a woman was pulling a child, dodging the dense pursuers behind them, who were wearing military uniforms.
Xie Yizhi’s manipulation of his mecha to confront those roadblockers further unlocked the long-sealed memories in Changli’s mind.
It was the guards who had grown up with the original Gu Changli, fighting against overwhelming odds to block the heavy pursuers, buying time for the original Changli and the Second Princess Consort to escape.
“Your Highness, go quickly, run towards the east!”
“Your subordinate will hold off the pursuers, Your Highness, run!”
A woman, whose face changed from blurry to clear, carried the child with injuries and quickly fled east, the blood on her shoulders flowing onto the child’s clothes.
Changli frowned, his gaze suddenly darkening.
The assassination attempt by the Second Princess Consort and Zhou Qingning, and the intervention of the imperial army, was not just the surface story of interstellar terrorists massacring planets and happening to target the tourist star where the Second Princess Consort and Zhou Qingning were located.
Who arranged for these imperial troops?
The First Prince? Or the Third Princess? Or the Empress sitting on the throne of the Huaan Empire?
Perhaps all three of them, they all wanted the original Changli dead!
The mastermind behind the Urdan planet massacre fourteen years ago was likely far-reaching.
Just as Changli was lost in thought, the twenty-odd roadblockers in front of him lost their combat power, unable to continue blocking the path of the Yosel Military Academy.
Wei Minghe happily took the high-level resource packs he obtained from defeating the roadblockers, distributed them to his teammates, and turned around to see Changli lost in thought, his eyes lowered.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong here?”
The other party’s mental power was slightly higher than his. Could it be that he had discovered a new trap or roadblocker?
Changli lifted his eyelids, “I remembered something.”
“Wei Minghe, next time we encounter military region roadblockers, continue to attack, don’t detour.”
Wei Minghe nodded slightly, “Okay.”
Qin Su pulled Changli’s hand, “Eat something first, we’ll investigate the rest slowly.”
Changli turned to look at Qin Su, the S-class mecha combatant who handed him a canned fruit, his eyes containing a familiar gentle smile and lingering affection.
He took the canned fruit and slowly ate it.
Qin Su then opened the small desserts in the resource pack and fed them to his beloved little prince.
“Try this cookie too, it’s very sweet.”
Changli ate a few more cookies, but his thoughts gradually became clearer.
The imperial royal family was indeed rotten to the core!
And the imperial military region also needed to be rectified.
After the national leaders become slaves to power and interests, someone must break the deadlock, otherwise, the only ending waiting for it is decay and demise.
Since he was bored anyway, he might as well stir up some trouble!
At this moment, no one knew what the gentle youth, who was quietly eating cookies, was thinking. They only knew that the rise of the Huaan Empire began with this year’s Tatius Competition, starting with this S-class mecha master.
*
The audience watching the live broadcast was only wondering why the atmosphere of the Yosel Military Academy was so strange.
[Brothers, don’t you think it’s strange?]
[Why would the main team commander listen to the mecha master? And why did he attack the roadblock team?]
[Could it be to test the strength difference with the soldiers?]
[I don’t think so. Have you noticed that the Yosel Military Academy’s main team is revolving around the mecha master? Their attitude has become a bit off.]
[Logically speaking, the main team commander is the core.]
[But the Yosel Military Academy actually puts the main team’s mecha master in the most critical core position, could it be that this person named Noah is more powerful?]
[For example, being proficient in both commanding and mecha piloting…]
[What is the person in front saying? Do you really think that being a mecha master and a commander is so easy to learn!]
[Even with S-class mental power, you can only focus on a single direction, either mecha piloting or commanding. There’s no time or energy to learn extra skills, otherwise, that wouldn’t be a person but a legendary god!]
[But why is that?]
[You see, the other three military academies all have the main team commander as the core, but the Yosel Military Academy actually let the main team’s mecha master take the lead, while the main team commander Wei Minghe has retreated to the second line.]
[I don’t know, but I’m super curious about the reason.]
[By the way, don’t just focus on the main team commander and mecha master of the Yosel Military Academy, also look at the mecha combatants, their attitude is also very strange.]
[Especially Qin Su, the strongest of the three, his performance is the strangest. Those who know understand that Noah is his teammate and partner, but those who don’t know would think that Noah is Qin Su’s boyfriend!]
[Holy crap! You’re so right!]
[Isn’t the way Qin Su and Noah get along the same as my daily interactions with my boyfriend?]
[I’m just saying, are they really not a couple?]
[Wait a minute, I’ll go to the Yosel Military Academy’s internal website to check out their gossip forums.]
[I’m also going to take a look, everyone, please wait a moment.]
[…Brothers, there’s big gossip! It’s said that Qin Su lives in the dormitory next to Noah, and the two have been inseparable from the beginning of the school year until now.]
[Could it be that they knew each other before the start of the school year?]
[Can’t be! I heard from a friend that Noah used to live on the Corankosi Star, so he shouldn’t have had the chance to meet Qin Su from the Imperial Capital Star.]
[Who said that love must be offline? Are you not allowed to have online dating?]
[They might have met online and realized their love in the Yosel Military Academy and got together.]
[…What you said also makes some sense.]
[From what I know, Noah was previously A-class, and just rose to S-class last semester, and also became the main team’s mecha master for this year’s Tatius Competition.]
[From campus to the arena, the two have never been separated.]
[Family, we’ve found a real couple.]
[As expected of soldiers who are to be handed over to the country, they look so well-matched~]
[Hehe, I also have a soldier husband.]
[Netizen, please be kind to a single old person in their twenties.]
