Road to Glory [Interstellar]

Just when Royce boldly decided to use the unfinished No. [-] machine to escape from the enemy's territory, the instigator who caused him and Irene to fall into trouble, Gustav, had already driven No. [-] machine back to the main ship.

The hatch opened, and the young general stepped down.

For an officer, Gustav was unreasonably handsome.The high-intensity training in the army did not make him as thick and dark as ordinary soldiers, but endowed him with a slender and powerful body.His skin was still almost transparent after being poisoned by the sun.Even though everyone in the Principality of Ryan has sea-blue eyes and dazzling blond hair, he is still the best among all the beautiful young people.

After leaving the mech, he first tidied up the uniform and smoothed out the wrinkles on it, and then raised a finger to straighten the badge on his chest.His series of movements are calm and gentle, coupled with that chiseled and too handsome face, it is hard to move your eyes away.The oncoming female mechanic even stopped in front of him, using the time of saluting to look at him wantonly, trying to keep his appearance in mind.

Gustav smiled and nodded.The excited girl held her heart in both hands, as if she was about to faint in the next moment.And Gustav kept walking, and went straight to the control room of the main ship.

"I don't know who is here to ask the teacher this time." He whispered to himself, the decent smile on his face was as flawless as it was carved on it.Yet there was a ghostly gleam in those blue eyes, cold and flickering.

Consistent with Royce's estimation, what awaited Gustav was interrogation by other officials.Some people have long been dissatisfied with this young general who took office in an unusual way and drove fast. At this moment, he was finally able to take advantage of him and make a big fuss: "How dare you go out rashly without asking your superiors for instructions! You are still driving the one that has not been fully tested by the army. A new type of armor!"

"Battle is the best test. The mecha that I destroyed just now was one against three in the battle with us before. This is enough to explain the problem." The handsome general responded to his senior calmly. , "In addition, please allow me to remind you that our military ranks are equal, and I don't have to ask you for anything. We are respectively in charge of the fortress department, and we should not fight over trivial matters."

Although Gustav was telling the truth, his slightly upturned mouth, which seemed to be sneering, made the other party feel ridiculed, and then became angry from embarrassment. "The villain succeeds! Gustave Mello, you just gained the position by virtue of the favor of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"In a sense, you are right." Gustav actually clapped his hands lightly.The elegant smile on his face is creepy. "But other than that, His Royal Highness recognizes me, and almost the entire army recognizes me." After that, he ignored the other party and walked to the front of the control room. "I need to call a team. The pilot of that mecha just landed at our research base, possibly with another person - I saw two pieces of the ejected pod. Find them as soon as possible."

"Of order. Excuse me, do you need to be captured alive?"

"If you see it, shoot it on the spot. There is no need to waste time." Gustav quickly made a decision.

In Gustav's view, the enemy comes from the third planet, a country known for its biochemical and bionic weapons, and may carry certain "weapons" that the Principality of Ryan cannot fight against, such as bacteria that are very destructive and proliferative. or virus.In addition, those two people probably came into contact with the soon-to-be-completed No. [-] machine and undestroyed scientific data, which also disturbed him.In order to avoid side effects, it is safer to kill those two people directly.

"Zun... Oh, sorry! Sir, please wait a moment." The controller who was about to convey the order was suddenly attracted by the display screen in front of him.He received an incredible picture.

This screen accepts thermal energy monitoring for the construction base of the artificial sub-star mecha.They use this device to remotely debug the mecha.At this moment, an orange-yellow light spot appeared on the screen, gradually deepening and turning red; this meant that the system of No. [-], which should have been stagnating quietly there, was heating up!

For a moment, the controller thought he was hallucinating.After all, only if Gustav personally ordered it, would anyone dare to touch that mech.However, the number of points of light representing heat increased on the screen, which meant—

"Report sir! Someone activated the No. [-] machine without permission!"

This sentence surprised everyone present.And Gustav almost lost his composure, and quickly came to the screen. "Impossible!" Gustav was clearer than anyone else that it was impossible for the No. [-] aircraft to move right now.Although the construction of the airframe and the laying of the digital transmission network have been completed, the activation procedure has not been entered into the system.The updated No. [-] and No. [-] machines both need to be operated by inputting specific and complete instructions. That is to say, even if the machine can be activated, only people like myself who have undergone special training can drive it.

But now, the thermal energy monitoring system clearly told him: No. [-] unit was activated by someone else.

How could someone other than myself activate the No. [-] machine!

who is it?Could it be... are those two No. [-] star people!

"Royce! How could you make this big guy move! We've never seen this thing before! What the hell are you..." On the other side, Irene was also shocked.

After Royce flicked his fingers and entered commands through the control panel, the system was activated.

At this moment, Irene is certainly happy to be out of danger, but at the same time, doubts are growing rapidly.She knew that even if Royce was a recognized mech genius, it was impossible for him to successfully control the new system when he came into contact with it for the first time!

"We were lucky. The programmer did not complete the definition of the final command, so I was able to define the 'method' as a command to control the parts in the mecha. The command I called just now to warm up the system was defined by myself." Royce looked up at Irene.Since he discovered that the instructions required by the No. [-] machine were very similar to the codes he had come into contact with, he devoted himself to the research of the system in front of him. "You look confused. But I won't explain, and can't explain. You're going to believe me, aren't you?"

Seeing Royce who was completely immersed in the research, Irene bit her lower lip.She knew that Royce was such a person: under the introverted and silent appearance contained a complex and rich world, but no one except Royce could enter, and Royce himself did not allow others to enter his world .

Eileen naturally believed in her brother, but this was not just about the two of them, it was dangerous.

If we really control this mech that does not belong to us to return to the third planet, Royce, how would you explain this to everyone?Is it really a good thing for you to have this ability that no one else has?

For the first time, Irene, who has always been bold, felt fear.

"Their people are here." Royce was still focused on solving the immediate crisis.His right hand was still jumping on the keyboard of the control panel, while his left turned on the sonic rangefinder.

"It's very fast, and it's a light spaceship. At least five of them." Royce was alerted for a moment because of the enemy's arrival, and then smiled. "Fortunately, I have been able to activate the particle cannon. With this firepower, wipe out these few ships." The spaceship is not a problem."

"That's not bad, but you have to work harder to make it fly." Irene, who had finished struggling, chose to continue to trust Royce.At least successfully survive the enemy's pursuit first, otherwise there is no need to consider the follow-up.She thought, and quickly loaded the gun. "If there are still people staying on this island, they should be alarmed by now. Do you need me to clean up a wave of miscellaneous fish?"

"No need." Royce typed an instruction on the keyboard.

Immediately afterwards, Irene felt the steel plate under her feet move—as if it was slowly leveled from a slightly tilted posture.Immediately afterwards, she heard a violent loud noise from outside, followed by a rumbling explosion.Some large machine was hit, but judging from the stability of the feet, it was not this mech that was hit. "Royce?"

"I said it. I will shoot them down. Now, find a place to stabilize, and I will try to move forward." As he spoke, Royce shook his head regretfully, "Unfortunately, time is tight, and I cannot optimize."

"You... well, you are always so calm." In Irene's eyes, Royce's performance at the moment is like a skilled mech master, with the calmness and ruthlessness of a seasoned fighter. "But, Royce! You killed someone just now! Don't you feel it? Or, do you really understand the feelings of ordinary people..."

Royce remained silent and just continued to type in instructions.

The shadow of the overhead instrument cast down and sprinkled on Royce's drooping eyelids, as if imprinting darkness there.

How could it not be understood.

Killing feeling.

The feeling of witnessing a fellow man being killed.

The feeling of revenge on the enemy.

The feeling of dying generously.

"To ensure safe takeoff and landing, I need time to test." Royce cleared his throat, "It doesn't take long, but I want to avoid being disturbed." Therefore, those enemies outside must die.

Facing her younger brother who has always been helpless, Irene can only surrender again. "Do what you think is right."

This day, for the soldiers of the Ryan Principality, was the beginning of a nightmare.Although at this moment, they cannot predict the future development of the situation.

Like a sleeping giant waking up, the mecha, which is larger than ordinary heavy machines, stood upright.The neutron beam fired from its giant particle cannon hits the approaching spacecraft from the sky.They exploded with the light cluster, and collapsed together with the bursting flames amidst the roar.The blinding fire has not yet disappeared, the heavy mecha has already broken free from the wires that bound it to the ground, and rushed into the vast and boundless universe.

"I can't believe it. We escaped and got an enemy mecha!" Irene, who fell to the ground, covered her lips, her eyes were full of tears because she was out of trouble.

"The crisis has not been resolved. I'm still not sure how to fly in a curved line, so I can't fight at all. Besides, we can't get too close to the third planet until we figure out how to slow down and land." Although he said so, But Royce's face is full of joy and pleasure.

"I don't know what Gustave Mello thinks now." Irene was relieved and joked.

"He must be mad with anger." Royce said firmly, "but in order to maintain his demeanor, he will probably give orders slowly even when his face is twisted in anger."

Royce may be the person who knows Gustav best in the world, although they haven't seen "face" a few times - the thick mecha and the vast universe make it impossible for them to face each other face to face.The two of them fought too many times.

"In terms of combat, he is a relatively rare person who can act after full consideration no matter what the situation is, and will kill all possibilities of negative consequences. Therefore, he is a qualified fighter. In leadership On the one hand, he is able to lead the people by the nose instead of obeying or forcibly suppressing the people, so he is also a qualified leader."

Royce was completely convinced by Gustav's excellence and success in his previous life.As a person who has a strong desire for knowledge but lacks in dealing with people, Royce even admires Gustav a little bit; however, when it comes to national hatred and family hatred, he hates him deeply.

The land on which he relied for survival became a victim of the other party's crazy expansion.

My compatriots and comrades-in-arms were reduced to ashes by the flames of war ignited by the opponent.

The mother country that he was proud of was thrown on the ground and crushed by the other party like garbage.

"But..." Royce suddenly pulled the joystick, and quickly entered commands with his fingers.Thanks to his quick reflexes, he saved the mech from being hit by a missile.Under the cover of the burst of flames from the missile, Royce activated the particle cannon again, blasting the heads of the chasing mechs to pieces.

This time, it's finally my turn to take away your important things!
