MECHANICAL: Mechanism

Originally, Yanchi didn't know how to comfort Juana, because he was in a mess in his heart. Although he knew that he could do anything for the sake of the country, did this include sin?Yanchi felt that he could not be persuaded.But now that something happened to Astoria, he was very panicked, but he didn't have to face these things for the time being, and only guessed who was attacking them while running wildly.

The first seat is not impossible, and Gabriel is also very suspicious. Not to mention the other things, they still have the Empress in their hands. If Gabriel controls Astoria, it doesn’t matter if he controls Yanchi and Juana. .Even Prince Topka is not impossible.

The three forces are all competing in this palace, just like wild beasts trying to compete in the territory, the loser will die, and the winner will get everything. In this case, everyone can only fight desperately.Now, Yanchi and the others must also join and become the fourth party force.

At other times, of course they don't mind sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight. After all, they only need to maintain diplomatic relations with the new country, but now that Astoria is being attacked, they have to start to doubt any party, and at the same time they are forced to become A new force has emerged, revealing itself.

Yanchi and Juana had already forgotten the shock they had just received, and rushed back in a hurry.When they arrived, the anaconda collapsed the small building with a cannonball. Astoria knelt on top of the lioness, showing a rare bit of bewilderment, staring blankly at the chaotic scene in front of her.

They came just in time, Yanchi blocked half of the wall that was about to fall on Astoria's side with a knife, grabbed Astoria, and put it directly into the Death God.

Although he can't see the situation in the cockpit now, and his vision is in the external environment, he can still order Death to send Astoria into the cockpit.

The communication was realized through an encrypted channel, and Astoria's voice was still very calm: "Did you succeed?"

Instead, Yan Chi was more concerned about her situation: "How are you? Are you injured?"

Then she responded to her question, and then answered: "Successful, they are in the bride. What should we do next?"

Seeing that the help came in such a timely manner, those killers had already fought and retreated, and started to flee. It would not take long for the fact that something went wrong in the palace to be revealed to the world. Yanchi knew that this place was no longer safe, and hoped that Gabriel would keep his word. Promising to protect them until the chaos is initially settled is obviously impossible and naive, so these still need Astoria to make decisions.

For the time being, he can't think of going too far away, but he knows that the only people he can count on are people from his own side, but Astoria knows a lot in her heart, the situation is changeable, and it may not be impossible to win in danger, but every Be highly vigilant every step of the way.Astoria pondered for a while, then decided: "Let's go back to Titan."

This refers to the warship that they docked at the port of Lion King and did not bring in.

As long as you have a warship, you can attack, retreat, or defend. Even if the forces of all parties have no time to react, it may not be impossible to return to the New Earth with two female emperors as bargaining chips. Bing, do not get caught and found.

Yanchi understood the difficulty of this, and kept silent, as if he was in a silent contest with Astoria, and then agreed: "Okay."

The energy carried by the mecha itself has a lot to do with the ability of the pilot. The characteristics of the spinal fluid are very subtle to determine the various data of the mecha. The average value of the Titan is at the top of the ranking list, but of course no one thinks it is okay In this way, the marshal naturally can't predict what the situation here is like.

The most important thing is to seize the moment.

It was too late to say anything more, Yanchi issued an order, the Titans formed a formation, and at the same time contacted the warships waiting outside to prepare for the response, and began the voyage against the clock.

At this time, Yanchi can get out of the mech's field of vision, observe Astoria's situation, and exchange information with her.

Astoria was injured. As soon as Yan Chi got out of the state, he smelled a bloody smell. No wonder the god of death remained silent. It turned out that she was in a complicated mood because of her injury.

Although the banquet pool was out of sight, it was not out of the connection and could not move around. I just observed Astoria's wound with the naked eye. It didn't look like a hot weapon. Although the blood loss was considerable, she was bandaging herself to stop the bleeding. It can be seen that the wound has begun to heal.The benefits of artificial humans are here, and Yanchi has seen this scene once.

He was no stranger to seeing Astoria's indifferent expression after shedding politeness and self-cultivation.Sometimes he even doubts what kind of racial talent it is. He can see the same expression, the same temperament from all artificial humans, and sometimes even shudders.In the past, Yanchi didn't pay much attention to this fact, but after experiencing a massacre just now, he can fully predict what will happen here on the Lion King in the future, so he can't help but feel that Astoria is really scary.

He knew they were made that way, that they had to be steadfast in order to achieve their purpose, that they had to be emotionless in order to build a new world.And those who are sheltered by them still cannot help being afraid of them.

Yanchi knew that Astoria would not care, but he still couldn't help but care about this fact.

Now is obviously not the best time to bring up this question, Yan Chi quietly watched Astoria deal with the wound.On the contrary, Astoria noticed that his mood was not right, and raised her head to look at him: "What's wrong with you?"

Yan Chi felt that her expression was unusually calm, and couldn't help but bald out: "What will happen to them?"

Astoria seemed to have understood his thoughts and mental activities from his expression, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked calmly: "Do you want to ask the Lion King, or the two empresses?"

Yan Chi replied blankly: "I want to know."

Astoria replied simply: "I don't know."

Yanchi was really surprised this time: "Why don't you know?"

He originally thought that even if all these things were not under Astoria's control, she should be able to analyze the rough trend in the future, but now she said that she didn't know anything?Is this realistic?

Astoria could see his doubts and explained: "The future is unpredictable. I am only responsible for promoting the change of the situation. It does not mean that I can predict the result, or even the direction of everyone. I am just the one who plays the cards , but the game may not be clear."

Yan Chi understood what she meant, and quietly retorted: "But you don't know what will happen next."

This is the truth, Astoria looked at him in surprise, as if surprised that he was so smart, Yanchi's rebellious mood suddenly picked up after seeing this look, and instead his whole body was not so cold.

Seeing that his fighting spirit recovered almost immediately, Astoria also found it very interesting. She changed her posture so as not to compress the wound, sat comfortably on the ground in the cockpit, and nodded: "The Lion King will be in chaos. The empress will die no matter what, and we may not be able to successfully return to the new earth—is that what you want to ask?"

Yes.

But Yanchi felt that this did not touch the core of his problem. He was in a mess of thinking now, but he was unwilling to treat Astoria with a questioning tone.This shouldn't be, she also regards her own life as dust, and doesn't take it seriously, and executes the plan at the risk of death, so questioning her just to make her scare, this kind of thing can't be done by Yanchi come out.

But Astoria obviously didn't intend to stop here, and asked him again: "Is this all you want to know?"

Yanchi had to admit: "No. I actually want to ask you... Is it right to use any means for a necessary purpose? You know that once the war starts, it will not end easily, and you know what it will look like. You know you can't even save yourself...why?"

This went back to the issue of the individual and the group. Yanchi realized that although he seemed to compromise and understand something, in fact there was still no change. He was a stubborn young man like this.He may be stupid, but he clings to this question, lingers in his dreams, hoping to get an answer.

For the benefit of the majority, is it okay to hurt irrelevant people, make life miserable, or commit crimes?

Astoria's answer was very succinct: "It shouldn't be, but I don't feel guilty, so I did it. My code of conduct is not yours. You don't have to agree with it, let alone because you can't agree with it. I understand and feel hurt my feelings. Now I only have this way, like before the formation of human society, do you know how many years the weak preyed on the strong? It’s like before the birth of civilization, do you know how long the dark age went through? Until we find a new way of being, we have no choice. I will do anything to get there, but you don't have to be like me, identify with me, or see my sins as yours."

"We can't predict what will happen in the future, but I hope it will become better because of you, and I hope you can make it better." Astoria said it very simply and clearly, but It is a feeling of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

Yan Chi pursed his lips tightly, looked at her for a while, then lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I really appreciate your dedication, and I really feel guilty because of it..."

Astoria's words were so clear that Yan Chi couldn't even pretend that he didn't understand, and continued to be cold and hard.

He knows that he will eventually come to terms with this cruelty, because no matter how Astoria comforts his feelings, his existence still depends on this consistent cruelty at a factual level, and therefore it is his crime.As Astoria said, his only way is to find a way, and he can survive by changing this way.

Astoria seemed to want to laugh, but in the end there was only a slight smile, and it didn't turn into a real expression.

Yanchi felt that the reconciliation was not easy and exhausted him, but the matter was not over yet.

Maybe it really depends on Marshal Gabriel before he has time to take care of his affairs, so the matter of leaving the Lion King Palace and going around to the place where the Titan is parked went smoothly, and then they easily entered the interior of the Titan .

But it is not so easy to leave the airspace of Lion King.Both Yanchi and Astoria obviously understood this, so they didn't leave in a hurry, but just rested temporarily.The movement of the surrounding Lion King army is obviously unusual. It can be seen that they do not have the will to force a breakthrough, so they are not overly controlled.

After all, they know that this is an envoy from a friendly country. Without clear instructions from their superiors and the other party has not provoked, they can't lose their etiquette, let alone give someone a handle first.

"What should we do now?" This kind of question was obviously what Yanchi needed to ask Astoria.

Astoria's wound has completely healed, and there is no visible effect. After returning to her, Juana's symptoms have also eased. For the time being, Yanchi still has no time to deal with her emotional problems. Where to start, so I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to concentrate on dealing with the reality that I still have no clue.

Astoria sat on the head of the bed holding a cup of nutritious tea that the staff forcefully stuffed into her hand, with a very calm and soothing look: "We should contact Alwitt."

?Doubt was written all over Yanchi's face.

Astoria knew that Yanchi had been outside for too long, and she had solved an emergency by herself just now, so she couldn't think of looking for backup for a while, which is normal, so she immediately pointed out: "Now Lion King Outside the airspace, other people who know our movements are already ambushing. The Lion King may not do anything to us, but they will definitely want our lives. Therefore, looking for Elwitt's assistance, Chen Bing is outside to meet us. It's very important. The other party's long-distance attack must also have the need to cover up their whereabouts, so there won't be too many people, as long as we don't get knocked down by them soon, then we can return successfully."

Yanchi had more questions: "How do you know there is an ambush outside? Why can't we let the Lion Galaxy escort..."

Halfway through the talk, he realized that now is the most critical time at the beginning of the civil war. The Lion King's external front is absolutely shrinking, and the opponent's position is not clear for the time being. It is unwise to rush for help. Of course, at this time, only oneself can Letter, and——As far as Astoria’s behavior is concerned, Yanchi thinks that she is a person who likes one thing to play multiple roles. Another reason for calling Alwitt to escort is to deter Lion King Woolen cloth?

Yanchi didn't dare to draw conclusions.

He also knew that his IQ was obviously insufficient in this regard, and the most important thing was to listen to Astoria's words with peace of mind, otherwise he would just mess up, so he sighed, turned around and sent a communication request to Elwitt.

Like Juana, he really wanted to go home now, so he wanted to see Erwitt even more.When I was with Alwitt, Yanchi was always very calm, and I didn’t feel that everything required hard guesswork, and I had to clear the fog to see the truth, and I was forced to accept so many things.

The communication was quickly picked up, and Erwitt appeared on the screen.

Banquet naturally stepped aside, allowing Astoria to talk to him, and he sat obediently by the side, watching Erwitt carefully.

Erwitt hasn't changed much, he still looks the same, but vaguely, when Yanchi realized that he was looking at him, Erwitt also looked at him several times, but he didn't know what it meant, and he didn't know what he was thinking. What.

At this time, Alwitt is really lackluster. To let Yanchi describe it, he can only say: that's it.

What kind?Alwitt's look.

If you want to talk about it in detail, Yanchi really can't say how to describe it, because this is too familiar to him, even though he obviously hasn't seen Alwitt face to work a few times at work, but he just started to be very familiar with Alwitt. It was nothing more than annoying business for Corvette.

Astoria briefly introduced the current basic situation and her plan, and then asked Alwitt to escort her.Alwitt remained silent in front of him, only to hear a slight frown at the end: "You mean, it's better for me to come in person?"

He didn't seem to disagree, and Astoria said it very easily: "You also know that you are the one they are most familiar with in the military department. Others can come, but I'm afraid I can't avoid the firefight." Possibility, the matter is already complicated enough, after the exchange of fire, I am afraid it will be difficult to solve it peacefully without other problems, this kind of loss can be avoided for both of us.”

Obviously, according to the general situation, Elwitt would not leave the New Earth easily, but of course it is not a normal situation now, so he nodded after a little thought: "Yes."

Astoria immediately asked: "It's best to come right away. You have to know that the situation is changing rapidly, and the sooner it is resolved, the better."

Although according to the identities of the two of them, Astoria was suspected of being disrespectful in speaking to Erwitt like this, but since Erwitt didn't care, Yanchi certainly didn't feel anything.

He has already guessed that Astoria's so-called sleeping is a lie, in fact she has always been active, thinking about what Astoria has done in the process of founding the country, he already felt that Having a headache, he simply gave up exploring and stared intently at Elwitt on the big screen in a daze.

After Astoria finished her business, she held a teacup and looked at the waiting pool next to her, she was considerate: "Why don't I go out first?"

Yanchi realized that he had been teased, recovered his senses, and was about to struggle, but Elwitt nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Astoria."

"..." Seeing Astoria walk out with an ambiguous smile, Yanchi always felt that his image had collapsed in the hearts of others.

But Erwitt looked very calm, watched Astoria go out, and asked very clearly: "What are you thinking?"

It is rare for him to omit the elements of the sentence. Yanchi analyzed reflexively, muttered a few words in his heart, and answered honestly: "I think they must look at me and you very strangely."

Although it was said to keep it secret from the outside world, Yanchi and Elwitt's ability to keep it secret was not very good. It was nothing more than that the matter was not quickly spread to the point where the whole army knew about it.

Thinking of the truth, Yanchi felt discouraged, and even wanted to break the can, so he simply didn’t want to hide it from the outside world, but every time he followed Alwitt, he always felt that he wanted to walk side by side with him, not just walking two quick steps That's all, so until now, he is still obediently following.

Of course, this is not clear enough for Elwitt, he seldom cares about other people's eyes, let alone understand Yanchi's subtle psychological changes, but at least he understands Yanchi's meaning, so he replied very plainly: " It's okay, there's nothing to be afraid of."

It is also a consolation.

Yanchi knew what he meant by saying that no one who knew the truth would hurt him, so there was no need to worry about it at all, but he didn't care more about these things, so he let it go easily, and asked Other questions: "So are you coming over?"

Although I heard it very clearly just now, what Yanchi cares about now is not how the matter will end, nor how to resolve the conflict, nor how to break the deadlock, but that Alwitt will come in front of him.

He was longing to go back to Sunell, back to Erwitt, and talk to him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.Yanchi didn't want to admit that he was weak, but his reaction at this moment was not at all as strong as steel made from a hundred tempers.

Elvitt nodded, unbuttoned his cuff buttons, and rolled up his sleeves.Yan Chi was a little surprised, realizing that he had never seen him roll up his sleeves like this.Alwitt has always been quite abstinent and well-wrapped, he refuses people thousands of miles away, and he is very light-hearted, there has never been any scene that can make him show a struggling expression.

But now is clearly an exception.

Yanchi realized that for Elwitt, the current situation was the first challenge after a long period of dormancy, so he consciously bid farewell: "Let's do this first, you are still busy, so let's not talk about it."

Alwitt looked at him seriously, nodded, and then there was only a blank space on the screen.

Alwitt never said goodbye.

Yan Chi came out of the cabin, walked to the porthole with heavy steps and a heavy heart, greeted Astoria, who was calm and not at all surprised, and stood still.

He felt very tired, but it was not a physical tiredness, but a kind of heavy mental load that had reached its limit and was unbearable, and he just wanted to escape.

But he has nowhere to escape, the only way is to carry on, at least until Elwitt returns.

Astoria smiled: "Alwitt has changed."

Yanchi was a little surprised: "Huh? How did he change?"

Astoria looked at the porthole, but didn't meet his eyes: "He always cares about you subconsciously."

That's for sure, after sleeping, the attitude towards others is always a little different.Yanchi looked for a reason in his heart, but he had to say that he was still happy because of it.

That would be great.
