MECHANICAL: Mechanism

Originally, Titans were not qualified to participate in this kind of mission. Firstly, it was regarded as the housework of the Romanov Legion, and secondly, there was a police department intervening. Fortunately, Yanchi had not forgotten his commander-in-chief status. After Mis discussed the possibility of having the five Titans included in the capture team, he convinced Artemis and successfully rescued the five people who were dying in the rapeseed field.

This time, as far as Yanchi knew, the first expedition of the new human legion, in any case, was actually equivalent to a test and a show of strength to the outside world, but it was aimed at pirates, not any government or civilization.

After all, there are only a few who can stand up for the pirates. As long as they are not surrounded by pirate-related forces, Yanchi knows that the only problem is whether he can successfully capture Morris.

Thinking of this incident, he was indeed much calmer than before. He would no longer feel the pain of being betrayed, nor would he feel any pain.Maybe when he actually saw Morris, he wasn't sure how he would react, but he was sure that he wouldn't strangle him to death when he was pressed because he was too excited.

Among the people present, Yanchi had the highest position, and Reaper had the highest rank. Therefore, before Yanchi could react, the others had already reached a consensus and handed over the command to Yanchi.

This is also in line with common sense, Artemis agreed, so Yan Chi served as the commander.

This time, the staff of Artemis is accompanying the army, and Banchi does not intend to be the same as when he was in Titan last time. Moreover, the battleship and troops have been changed. Compared with the current relationship and energy between Romanov and Titan, It's important to still respect the opinions of these people.

Juana now faintly has the meaning of deputy head.It's not that she has the intention to pursue the camp, but that there are five people in total, and there must be a leader. It is unnecessary for Yanchi to set up a deputy head and other officers. There are too few core personnel, but there must always be someone who can connect the past and gather people's hearts. There is an idea, logically speaking, the initial formation of the legion is indeed selected from among the veterans. Since Juana has this talent, Yanchi does not exclude her from taking on this responsibility naturally.

This is actually the first time for Yanchi to do this kind of thing. Although he probably knows what is needed, he doesn't know whether his operation and ideas are correct, but there is no one to discuss with.Originally he was under the direct control of Erwitt, so he could always ask Erwitt, but when he used these questions that should have been solved by himself to ask Erwitt, Yanchi always felt bad, as if it was embarrassing, let alone the matter of Morris After leaving, he was ashamed to look for Erwitt, but Erwitt did not come to him. He felt extremely embarrassed when he thought of his forced marriage at the time of parting, so he could only pretend that nothing happened and hold on.

He knew that these gods of death were watching, and probably understood his thoughts, but since the gods of death didn't mention it, he didn't say anything, it just depended on how long he could hold back.

Now that he finally had the opportunity to see Morris again, Yanchi suddenly realized how much of a problem had occurred in his mentality during this period of time. He seemed to be on the edge of a dead end. He wanted to know why, so he did not hesitate to toss around and suffer from insomnia all night. Can't care about other things.

In the past, he knew that he had the problem of stubbornness, but he always thought it was not so serious, so he found many reasons for himself to indulge his stubbornness.But now it seems that it has affected him, and it has affected the Titans.

When he only needs to be in charge of himself, he will be a bit willful and stubborn, but he will be a prickly soldier under Deren or Alwitt, and the impact will not be great. No matter what, he will always obey orders, but Now that he is a commander, his stubbornness will become the temperament of the entire regiment.

You don't need to think about Yanchi to know that this will not work.

He is still reflecting on himself, the fleet has left the defense range of Artemis, and opened the wormhole to prepare for the jump.

This time they dispatched five warships, not too many, but they were the capital ships of Artemis. What they wanted was a quick battle and a sure hit.At first, Yanchi had given the authority to set the voyage to the staff officer of Artemis. Now that the god of death was monitoring everything, he was free, staring blankly at the various data on the panel and the vast universe outside the porthole. The mood is very complicated.

Such a secret march with a known destination, the so-called secret is actually for the enemy, but for the fleet, it is just to follow the map, and there is no difficulty in it.

Even if there is no commander, in fact, this part can be easily completed.

The god of death sensed another kind of depression in him, and floated over to care in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"

Yan Chi's expression was dull and his eyes were numb: "Am I particularly stupid?"

The God of Death didn't know how he realized this fact, and nodded: "Yes, yes, you are very stupid."

Yanchi: "...What about the comfort you promised?"

He has already realized the facts, he is obviously very rational, and he finally woke up. He needs some comfort, but the god of death did not say this sentence, but replied in a very formatted and carefree way: "Little baby, be good, don't be sad .”

Yanchi... Yanchi is still expressionless: "Hmph."

Only then did the god of death get serious, coiled up in front of him, and looked at him with his head resting on his paws: "How did you figure it out? I think it will take a while before you realize that your ability to resist pressure is not good enough."

These words were too sharp, and Yan Chi immediately felt like being stabbed by a knife, clutching his heart and struggling: "It's not that I don't have it, can Morris's treason be regarded as ordinary pressure? It's normal if I can't accept it..."

Then he gave up in the eyes of the god of death turning old scores, and admitted frankly: "Yes, I also feel very strange. I thought I was very strong, but it really doesn't look like it. If you look at history, the revolutionary pioneers who overthrew the rule of the Galactic Empire almost They have all reached the realm of mythology, they can abandon everything, they can fight at any time, they can always see their ultimate goal clearly, and I..."

The god of death interrupted him slowly: "So they made history, but those who can make history are, after all, a minority among human beings."

The banquet pool fell silent.He understands that he may be just an ordinary, mediocre person with an average level of mentality and toughness, but it always takes a lot of time to accept this fact.

The god of death saw that he was silent, so he knew that Yanchi's mentality was very peaceful now, and then said: "Maybe at a certain stage in human history, you will feel that geniuses and warriors who overthrow the devil emerge in endlessly, and the way history uses them is a waste. If many people survive, perhaps the key point to create a new era will come many years earlier, but the fact is that I think this is just a stimulus brought about by a racial crisis. You are one of the lights brought by the fire."

Although this kind of statement is quite unreasonable, fortunately, Reaper is an artificial intelligence after all. To him, human beings are always you. Although there are three laws of artificial intelligence, he actually has a deep and unbreakable relationship with human beings. relationship, but the view is always quite rational.

Yanchi didn't speak, watched the god of death move, adjusted his posture, and continued to preach: "For young individuals, your level definitely belongs to the upper middle level in history and race. You have talent, You also have rare enthusiasm, but you are still young after all, I don’t have high expectations for you, I just hope that you will never easily think that you can’t do something just because you realize that you have limitations and things you are not good at .You've learned that where life and death are at stake, you must always be ready to fight, to fight every time you lose, and that's the only thing anyone wants you to do."

"Can you do it?" Death's golden eyes changed into another pair of golden eyes in front of Yanchi, he couldn't answer this question right away, and admitted without hesitation that I could.

What this sentence means, Yanchi has already almost understood. Although he is not a powerful faction in the military department, he has become an important figure. He already understands what kind of scene this road is like and what kind of difficulty it is.

It's always easy to make "I won't let you down" promises when you don't know anything, because you don't know what it means to do what you say, or how to do it.But when he really realized it, Yanchi understood what it meant, and why so many people died halfway.

Not to mention Morris' rebellion, even if Erwitt rebelled or died one day, he must continue to move forward without hesitation just like Erwitt who faced the accident with Le Lune on Noah's Ark.

The god of death means that only in this way can the fire be preserved.

He was once the light brought by the fire, and now he must become the fire himself, burn to death, and give himself to where he came from.

Can he do it?

Yan Chi's throat was blocked again and again, he had to convince himself very hard, he had to repeatedly suppress the trembling in the hot and cold, before he could answer with certainty: "I can, I will do it."

He has always been only familiar with the unscrupulous side of Reaper, and when he meets the real him occasionally, he realizes how sharp and ruthless Reaper is, with a majestic face, and the courage and almost cruel insight of steel machinery in his heart.

To be honest, Yanchi felt that he was a little frightened by the god of death.

He realized that the Grim Reaper was already almost the same as Alwitt. They both experienced too long years, too cruel wars, and lost too much, leaving him alone to continue to exist in the world without cooling down. The blood in my heart is always looking in my direction.

Compared with artificial intelligence and artificial people, natural people are really too fragile, too easy to be influenced, and too easy to forget the coldness of the outside world because of the short-term comfort, but the only thing that Yanchi is sure of is that even so, he can still chase Go to them and be able to do what they want and what they should do.

He didn't want to disappoint those who were waiting for him to understand, and he also knew that this was what he chose.

His position has been determined since he was not born, but his choice is his own decision.

He was a warrior, a human being, and to survive he had to be hard and strong, and nothing could bring him down.

The god of death has actually wanted to be cruel to Yanchi for a long time, especially when Yanchi was in love.However, some light and soft feelings of young people are not a bad thing. This allows them to remain untransformed into lunatics and disabled people after a powerful war, and they can still have a life and hope that has nothing to do with it, instead of leaving the battlefield and leaving the army with nothing. Soldiers, in the end, were depressed because they could not adapt to normal life, and lost the motivation to live.

Although as far as the person Yanchi has a crush on, if he doesn't give up half-heartedly, the possibility of living a × life is lower than the possibility of growing taller than Artemis.

But it's always good to have hope.

Besides, juvenile cubs are sometimes unreasonable and sometimes lose their temper. In the eyes of Death, it is not something that needs to be taught. It is just because he likes to act like a baby because he is young. It will be fine when he grows up.

But the current situation is different from the past after all, Yanchi must grow up as soon as possible.Maybe he himself is not very clear about what it means to be placed in this position by Erwitt, but the god of death is too familiar with Erwitt, a person who likes to make the best use of everything, never does useless things, and never says useless words .

——Because he only has a human appearance, and his heart is colder and more desolate than steel.

Looking at Erwitt apart from personal factors, the god of death actually admires him quite a lot, but it is precisely because Erwitt has always been inhumane and makes the best use of him that there is an irreconcilable conflict between them. Chi is also quite dangerous, and the responsibility in the future may only be greater, and the god of death always feels uncomfortable if he doesn't help him.

He had already lost one master, and his old heart was weak, so he couldn't bear the pain of losing another master.

Although the people in Yanchi are stupid, young and naive, Death God considers himself a moral mecha, and will not dislike him, and still does his best. Seeing Yanchi suddenly opened up after talking with him, his mind immediately opened up a lot, even his expression Very resolute, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and the god of death was very satisfied.

Little did he know that Yan Chi was frightened by the death rate, and he was ready to die before he could leave the school, and he passionately expressed his will to die.

When approaching the pirate's hiding place, Yan Chi noticed something was wrong.

According to intelligence, the planet where pirates live is only said to be a garbage star.Yanchi didn't quite understand the meaning of this word at first, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that it turned out to be a deserted planet that was overdeveloped and abandoned.Generally speaking, unless it is destroyed by nuclear war when the future cannot be foreseen like the previous earth, it is difficult to completely abandon the planet that can independently evolve intelligent creatures and develop civilization, other than a planet that is completely uninhabitable. .

As long as it is possible, who is willing to abandon their hometown and wander endlessly in the universe?

Therefore, this garbage star is mostly a colony, which was abandoned after being sucked out of all resources and population, and then became an excellent hiding place for interstellar pirates because of its geographical location and unique miasma.

Although because of the existence of this toxic atmosphere, Yanchi could not send mechas down to capture them accurately, but since their original idea was to fight quickly and never spare firepower, the five warships landed at a certain height and lined up. , fired at the planet.

Although the firepower of the battleship is not as good as that of the space battleship, it is still quite impressive. The artillery fire poured out, tearing off the invisible protective net in the fog, spraying flames and heat on the devastated ground, leveling the mountains and rivers, burning the river, and seeing it in a moment The pirate warships rose from the ground in panic.

At this time, the mechas that had been dispatched to form fishing nets began to fight against each other. Once they exchanged fire, the pirates could only fight and retreat, just in time for the main control room of the battleship to distinguish between the existence of Morris and the one who took him away. A group of pirates.

Yanchi was so excited that he walked up and down the main control room. The Grim Reaper couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that the staff of Artemis was sitting here, and Yanchi's buttocks were already on fire, he simply suggested: "Otherwise, let's go out too, here It is enough to have a chief of staff, there is no difficulty in the task for the time being, and we can also contact through the channel."

Banquet agrees.

The chief of staff was hesitant to speak, but thinking of the relationship between Yanchi and Morris, he easily agreed.

After the connection, they slid out from the bottom of the battleship, and the outside was already crowded. The movement of the banquet pool was noticed by Juana and the others. Several people moved closer consciously, and soon formed a small circle to cooperate with each other.

Most of these pirates have come to attack Battlestar Galactica where the Romanov Legion is stationed. Therefore, Yanchi can understand why the battle is so fierce. Even if they are not the mission target, they still have a deep hatred. Don't take advantage of this time to fight to the death. , where is there a chance?

He believed that these people would not misplace the focus and forget the mission objective because of this, but he still gave the order to the five people on his side to capture Morris No. [-] alive, and spread out to find the target after solving the pirates in front of him.

In fact, they didn't know Morris's whereabouts, but they were always with those pirates, and it was not difficult to identify them by relying on the flag and painting.

The banquet pool is getting closer and closer to the atmosphere.

Generally speaking, this garbage star is not too big, so five giant battleships can almost surround the entire planet, even if it is not airtight, there will be no fish that slip through the net.

The banquet pool was too far away, and there was some distance between him and the main force. Only his five people kept a distance from him.

He didn't know what was going on, but somehow felt that Morris might not act with pirates. If it was him, since he had no relationship with pirates, he was more likely to be caught, and the success rate of sneaking away was obviously higher. Why? Does the choice need to be said?

Although there were quite a few panicked pirates on the frontal battlefield, but Yanchi always thought that people like Morris preferred to find another way and take a slanted sword.

He wandered here, Juana and the others didn't ask, just followed him.

Yanchi flew back and forth three or four times, but still found nothing. He raised the altitude and was about to retreat when a black spot suddenly appeared on the edge of his field of vision.

It's an oval spaceship!

Yanchi saw at a glance that there was no mark on the battleship, but his intuition convinced him that it was Morris!

Seeing him turning his head, the rest of the people gathered around one after another.

The banquet pool sank suddenly, and a shell fired at the spaceship fleeing in panic.

Apparently they didn't expect that at this time when the frontal fight was in full swing, if they escaped quietly from here, they would bump into the six-pilot mecha, and they rushed to the battle, facing the huge figure of Reaper holding a saber.

The oval spaceship is not as big as the Reaper. The advantage is that it is flexible and maneuverable, but the disadvantage is that it does not have much firepower. Once the encirclement is formed, there is no possibility of breaking out. Obviously, both sides know this.

As soon as the spaceship lowered its head and passed between Death's legs, Yan Chi immediately turned around and pursued, the muzzle turned and continued to aim and launch.

The energy shield was still there, but it was tilted by the cannonball, and continued to fly crookedly.

Juana was coming towards her, with her eight long legs flying, spreading her spider webs towards the spaceship.

Yanchi knew that it was impossible for him to keep calm at this time, and he just hit him with a knife. Mijin was indeed powerful and sharp, splitting the spaceship, sinking with force, and cut a deep scar.

"I'll catch it." Juana's calm voice sounded in time, lest Yanchi lose his mind in a moment of anger and hack all the people inside to death.

The banquet pool hadn't reached the point of madness yet, so it backed up a bit to make room for Juana and the other people surrounding her. Afterwards, the frantically struggling little spaceship was easily wrapped in the spider web by Juana and tightened automatically. After that, it was thrown into the belly of the bride.

The capture mission was successfully completed, and Yanchi connected to the main ship, notifying the staff who stayed behind: "The capture was successful, the network bride has confirmed the target, the mission is completed, and we can retreat."

This period of time is not long, but it should have alarmed other people who are paying attention here. This provocative posture cannot be maintained for too long, otherwise it will easily attract other disasters and enemies. Now that the mission has been successfully completed, it is time to retreat immediately .

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yan Chi always felt that the staff officer was very unbelievable, and after a while he closed his mouth that was so surprised that he was at a loss: "Okay, okay."

Then the signal to withdraw troops was issued, and the mechas filed back into the battleship, preparing to disengage from the shuttle on the way back. Yanchi and Titan also returned to the main ship's mecha depot.

The bride of the network spit out the swallowed battleship and put it on the ground. The people inside had been scrambled by the paralyzing toxin. When the banquet pool came over, the people on the ground all backed away.

Even those who didn't know that Yanchi and Morris had a good relationship knew that the goal of this mission had a deep connection with Yanchi, and they consciously avoided it.

The bride of the net took two steps cautiously, walked around to the side of the banquet pool, and was about to hug the banquet pool with eight legs if something was wrong.

With the sound of the wind, Reaper raised the knife that had not been retracted, and slashed at the small spaceship again with a clang.

"I've got you, Maurice."

The voice of Reaper expressed the will of Yanchi, then dropped the saber, bent down and tore apart the surface of the spaceship with its claws along the crack.

The amount of secret gold on Reaper's body was definitely more than what he claimed. Yanchi didn't even find it difficult at all, so he tore open the spaceship like paper, and searched for Morris among the crowded pirates.

Maurice closed his eyes, feeling the absurdity of the matter.

But he was caught after all.
