On the outskirts of Salman Forest, the vanguard battalion of the Long Snake Legion has landed on the ground in accordance with General Drew's instructions. The vanguard force composed of thousands of snake-like mechas is preparing to go out on the outskirts of Salman Forest.

At this moment, a giant black dragon suddenly flew high in the sky. The giant black dragon hovered over the forest for a few seconds as if looking for prey, and then——slammed into the forest's hinterland!

The soldiers who were standing by were stunned!

"What was that just now?!"

"Am I not mistaken? Is that an S-class intelligent mecha black dragon?"

"Are you kidding me! Isn't the Black Dragon the Marshal's mech? How come here?"

Surprised comments from the soldiers came from the communication channel inside the Pioneer Battalion.

Except for the several senior generals in the commanding mothership of the Long Snake Legion, others did not know that Marshal Rosen also followed the Long Snake Legion to the Broken Army Star, plus the legendary S-class mecha with the strongest air combat attack power The black dragon has disappeared for 19 years. At this moment, suddenly seeing such a terrifying mecha appearing in the sky, the soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion were at a loss for what to do.

Fortunately, the command headquarters channel soon heard the calm and majestic voice of the regiment commander, General Drew: "The Pioneer Battalion is on standby! Without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly!"

Everyone had to obey the general's order and continue to wait in place.

Inside Salman Forest.

As soon as Caesar and Brian arrived at the place where Suzaku was hiding, they saw a huge black shadow suddenly pressing down on their heads. The black dragon swooped down directly towards the open space, and when it was about to reach the ground, it quickly transformed into a humanoid mecha, with its feet firmly on the ground. landed firmly on the ground.

There was only a "bang", the loud noise when the mecha landed made people's eardrums tremble, and the ground not far away was also filled with dust due to the landing of the black dragon.

Caesar and Brian looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Although the two rushed over at the fastest speed, they still couldn't outrun the black dragon.

In order to be able to land in this open space, the black dragon that turned into a humanoid mecha took the initiative to reduce its size to one-tenth of its size.Even so, the humanoid mecha with a black body and golden pupils stood there quietly, even if it didn't make any movements, it still gave people a huge sense of oppression.

——That was the suffocating cold oppressive feeling from the black dragon.

As the mecha with the strongest air combat attack power among the S-class mechas, although the black dragon has been asleep for 19 years, it is now awakened by its master, and it still has the same shocking deterrent power as before.

Those golden pupils were just like his master, cold and without warmth.

Bai Yu, who has been scanned by the golden pupils, is not afraid of this legendary senior. As a mecha made by Mr. Aston, they know each other's details, and they are not afraid of anyone when they really start a war—— Bai Yu immediately spread her wings to protect Suzaku behind her, and at the same time activated her whole body's defense system, quickly entering a first-level alert state.

One black and one white, two S-class smart mechs faced each other silently.

The tense situation is thrilling.

At this moment of stalemate, the black dragon's cockpit suddenly popped out and quickly landed on the ground. As the cockpit landed, a handsome man in a black military uniform walked in front of Caesar and Brian expressionlessly. His gaze swept over the two young men, and he asked in a low voice, "You guys hid Suzaku here?"

Caesar: "..."

Brian: "..."

Bai Yu: "..."

The marshal's voice was too cold, his gaze was too cold, even Bai Yu, who was always lively, shrank his wings slightly in fright.

In order to refit and downgrade, Suzaku's size was reduced to the size of a C-level mecha, but Bai Yu's wings still couldn't completely cover it, and part of Suzaku's red body was exposed. Sweeping upwards, looking back at Caesar, a sharp look suddenly appeared in a pair of deep eyes——

"Fabricating a lie about Suzaku's crash, hiding Suzaku here secretly, Caesar, Brian, what are you doing?"

Being questioned by the Marshal like this, Caesar's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Although he has known Marshal since he was a child, Marshal's personality has always been indifferent and tough, and his face is always expressionless. Caesar has never dared to talk to him since he was a child. Compared with his father, when Marshal is angry more terrible.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the empire, even His Majesty Trande respected him three points. Caesar was just a little prince. When facing Marshal Rosen, he did not have the airs of a prince at all. Instead, he was a respectful gesture from a junior to an elder.

Asked by Rosen with a cold face, Caesar didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Brian simply hung his head and played dead.

Father's Long Snake Legion is on standby outside the Salman Forest. If his father finds out that he helped His Royal Highness secretly modify the Suzaku, he will definitely skin him in a fit of anger!If this matter gets to the ears of grandpa and father, they will definitely get cramped again in a fit of rage!

Brian wished he could turn himself into a puff of smoke and drift away...

Rosen glanced coldly at Brian, who had his head down. When he noticed the gaze above his head, Brian immediately stood up straight, and continued to hang his head without speaking, just like a good student who listens carefully to his elders after making a mistake.

After a moment of stalemate, Caesar took a deep breath, raised his head, and explained as calmly as possible: "Marshal, in fact, when Suzaku fell because of exhaustion of energy that day, Bai Yu and I rescued it...it didn't want to be I caught it back and continued to imprison it, so I found some red mecha fragments and buried them at the bottom of the valley to create the illusion that it had crashed, lest people from the museum continue to hunt it down..."

Caesar paused, and then said: "Suzaku wants to find another owner, and it is willing to take the initiative to downgrade to a C-level mecha. It just so happens that the top three in this year's National Mecha Competition will reward C-level mechas, as long as they participate in the competition and get this The rewards, and then secretly exchange Suzaku with the rewarded mecha, so that it can escape the scrutiny of the Mecha Association, and Suzaku can also safely survive as a C-level mecha in the future without arousing the suspicion of the Mecha Association."

Rosen was silent for a moment, and then said coldly: "Suzaku wants to find another master, and it depends on whether the new master can control it. Even if it is downgraded to a C-level mecha, who do you think can be qualified?" , become Suzaku's master?"

——Looks like I can only tell the marshal the whole truth.Otherwise, with Marshal's tough temper and Suzaku's special significance to him, he would definitely not allow himself to deal with Suzaku in private, maybe he would take Suzaku away directly.

Thinking of this, Nishizawa replied calmly: "Marshal, Suzaku has found a new owner, and the owner it recognizes is a classmate of mine, who accidentally bumped into Suzaku's cockpit that day, and the spirit match with Suzaku has reached One hundred percent."

——One hundred percent match?How can this be?

Rosen frowned slightly, "Your classmate? What's his name?"

Caesar replied, "His name is Lin Yuan."

Rosen fell silent.

Lin Yuan...

this name...

Lin's surname is obviously of Asian descent. Among the officers above the rank of general in the military department, there are no more Asians. He is obviously not the son of a general in the military department.

Was it born in a civilian family?

However, would a child born in a commoner family have such a strong mental power?A person's mental strength is largely determined by his or her genetics. The first time he drove an S-class mecha, he directly broke through the [-]% matching degree. Even the pure-blood descendants of many military generals may not be able to make it happen.

Lin Yuan...

Luo Sen said the name silently in his heart, looked at Caesar calmly and said, "Is that Lin Yuan? Bring him to see me tonight."

Caesar said in surprise, "Marshal...do you agree with my approach?"

Rosen was silent for a moment, then whispered: "If Suzaku's owner is still there, I definitely don't want to see it being imprisoned...Since Suzaku wants to recognize its master again, I will respect its wishes."

After speaking, Rosen turned around and walked towards the black dragon. The cloak of the same color as the military uniform raised a sharp arc when he turned around, and his tall and straight back still showed a trace of unapproachable indifference.

Caesar and Brian looked at each other in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the marshal would agree with their treatment of Suzaku, which made the two of them unable to react for a while, just like lightning, thunder, and strong winds in the sky. It's sunny.

There was no response for a long while, and Rosen turned around, frowning and said: "What are you still doing? Do you want everyone in the Long Snake Legion to discover this secret? Put away the mechs, and I will take you away."

The vanguard battalion of the Long Snake Legion outside the forest was on standby. Naturally, Caesar and Brian couldn't go out ostentatiously. Even if Bai Yu took them away, it would arouse suspicion. Naturally, it was the best way for the marshal to take them away.

Nishizawa immediately activated Suzaku and let Suzaku enter the space button. Bai Yu and Xiaolan also cleverly entered the master's space button. Then they walked to Lawson's side and boarded the black dragon's cockpit together.

The cockpit inside the Black Dragon is very spacious, but the layout is very simple. There is only a bed, wardrobe and office desk in the bedroom for rest. The cold tone of the furniture is very in line with Marshal Rosen's personality.

There was no sofa for entertaining guests in the house. Obviously, Rosen never thought of bringing others into his mecha.

However, even if there was a sofa, Caesar and Brian would not dare to sit on it.

The two of them stood upright behind the marshal, with serious expressions on their faces as if they were in a military training station.

Rosen specified a coordinate on the 3D navigation map, and the black dragon flew directly in that direction.

It was a valley far away from the Salman Forest. The surrounding area of ​​the valley was uninhabited, and the valley was covered with dense trees. The mecha was hidden at the bottom of the valley, and it was impossible to find any clues from the outside.

The black dragon landed to the bottom of the valley according to the instructions, ejected from the cockpit, and everyone walked to the ground together.

It was only then that Rosen said seriously: "This military exercise covers nearly half of the Pojun Star, and the troops performing the exercise in this valley will not pass by. If you put Suzaku here, no one will notice."

Just now in the mothership of the Hydra, General Drew showed Rosen all the route maps for this large-scale military exercise, so that Rosen could find a valley that would not be discovered by anyone to hide Suzaku and ensure that Nothing goes wrong.

Caesar nodded, and immediately released Suzaku from the space button.

Seeing the black dragon and Lawson in front of him, Suzaku's red pupils flickered slightly, and said, "General."

general...

When Ling Yu was arrested that year, Luo Sen was just an ordinary general. Suzaku didn't know that he had been promoted to marshal, and he still called him the same "general" as his master back then.

Long-lost address, familiar voice, flashing red eyes...

Rosen's nose suddenly became sour, and countless memories about the past flooded into his mind, about Ling Yu, about Suzaku, about those years of youth who charged and killed the enemy at the front line, the invincibility of the Night Legion and the timely support of the Glory Legion, he He has cooperated with Ling Yu to win battles one after another, and even Black Dragon and Suzaku have fought side by side many times.

But now things have changed.Ling Yu is gone, the black dragon is a replica, and Suzaku was imprisoned for 19 years. She couldn't bear it and escaped from the museum. She even willingly downgraded to a C-level mecha, just to gain a sliver of the right to survive...

Looking at the familiar red in front of him, Rosen was silent for a long time, before he hid the complicated emotions in his heart, and said calmly, "Suzaku...don't worry, I won't let anyone arrest you again."

The man's always indifferent voice was rare and gentle when facing the mecha of Yuhi's favorite person.

Hearing Rosen's words, Suzaku was silent for a while, and then said softly, "Thank you, General."

Luo Sen nodded and asked, "Are you sure you want to recognize that student named Lin Yuan as your new master?"

Suzaku said firmly: "Yes. General, he is a very good kid, and he is very talented in piloting mechs."

"I trust your judgment, but I must at least meet him before I can hand you over to him with confidence." Rosen turned back to Caesar and said, "At eight o'clock tonight, take Lin Yuan to the school's mecha training room Come see me."

Caesar immediately replied: "Okay, Marshal."

Only then did Rosen turn around and walk into the cockpit of the black dragon.

The black dragon soared into the sky and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Suzaku looked at the disappearing figure of the black dragon soaring into the sky, and thought with some doubts: If the master really drove the black dragon and died in the interstellar ruins, then—why is the black dragon here so well?

That's right, this black dragon is the original black dragon, not a copy preserved by the Mecha Association at all!

The difference between the main body and the replica is that the main body has been with the owner for a long time, and it will have the memory and feelings of the owner, while the replica is just copied from the data when it was just manufactured, and it has no memory like a newborn baby. There will be no such deep feelings.

Suzaku and Black Dragon are both mechas made by Mr. Aston. There is a subtle connection between the mechas. The two mechas have been very familiar with each other since they were manufactured. What Suzaku senses is the original black dragon. It is the intelligence of the black dragon itself!

——Since the black dragon is not dead, does it mean that the master is not dead at all? !

The more Suzaku thought about it, the more confused he became. After all, although the smart mecha has human-like intelligence, it doesn't have the powerful logical reasoning ability of humans. It guessed that its master is not dead, but it can't figure out what happened back then.

Suzaku can't trust other humans, let alone tell such a big secret casually, it can only pin its hopes on Lin Yuan.

That young man named Lin Yuan has the shadow of General Ling Yu deep in his memory.

Although it was a fragmentary memory from childhood, with Suzaku's familiarity with Ling Yu, there was no possibility of admitting a mistake!That person is definitely a general, yes, if Lin Yuan is really the son of a general, he is probably an Omega just like the general!

Suzaku took the initiative to downgrade to avoid the censorship of the Mecha Association and followed Lin Yuan. Apart from secretly helping the little master, the more important purpose was to follow Lin Yuan to find out the whereabouts of General Ling Yu.

※※※※※

In the school, Lin Yuan, who was undergoing shooting training, knew nothing about what happened today.

When Lin Yuan successfully passed the shooting reaction training, it was almost dinner time. After dinner, he went back to take a shower, put on clean clothes, and he directly sent a message to Caesar——

"Cesar, should we still go to the training room at night?"

Caesar quickly replied: "Yes, I'm already in the training room, come here now."

"Okay, I'll come right away!"

Lin Yuan immediately changed from walking to trotting, and ran to the mech training room rented by Caesar at the fastest speed.

When I opened the door, I found that something was wrong—in the spacious training room, besides Caesar and the white mecha used in training last night, strangely, there was also a black mecha standing next to it .

The metal on the black mecha glowed with a strange luster under the light. The smooth shape of the humanoid mecha made its arms and legs look particularly powerful, and the knife-sharpened face was like a handsome knight. When a pair of golden pupils flicker, the light is dazzling!

Although it was the same size as the white mecha next to it, for some reason, when the black mecha stood quietly in place, it seemed to give people a strange... oppressive feeling.

Lin Yuan looked at Caesar suspiciously: "Cesis, did you rent two mechas today?"

"..." Caesar was silent for a moment, then leaned into Lin Yuan's ear and said softly, "I didn't borrow the black one, but someone was driving it. I heard that you signed up for the competition, and he wanted to compete with you." one time."

Lin Yuan immediately became excited, "Really? That's just right! I also want to find someone to compete with each other!"

Lin Yuan took the initiative to walk in front of the black mecha, looked up at it, and waved to it with a smile, "Hi, hello! Can I get to know you from the cockpit? My name is Lin Yuan. It’s a first-year freshman in the command department, what’s your name? Did you buy this mech yourself or rent it from the school?”

Caesar: "..."

No one in the entire empire dared to speak to the marshal like this...

Caesar couldn't help but look back at the black mecha.

But at this moment, Rosen, who was sitting in the cockpit, suddenly froze in place.

Short black hair, clear and bright eyes, a smile on the lips, a strange sense of familiarity...

Ling Yu...

A clip of practicing with Ling Yu in the mecha training room many years ago appeared in front of my eyes. The young man in front of me looked very much like Ling Yu from his school days, except that the young man had a bright and bright smile on his face. But rarely laughed like that.

The kid's eyes... really look like him...

When a pair of bright eyes are serious, they are like the brightest and most eye-catching stars in the dark night...

Rosen took a deep breath, closed his eyes gently, and drove away the chaotic thoughts that suddenly floated up in his mind. He manipulated the black dragon transformed into a C-level mech, and made a gesture of inviting challenge to Lin Yuan in front of him. .

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "You are so straightforward! Well, let's discuss!"

After finishing speaking, he simply turned around and entered the cockpit of the white mecha, and activated his own mecha.

The two mechs quickly set up their battle stances. As a "notary", Caesar had no choice but to press the button to start scoring in the training room with a complicated expression.

Seeing the start of scoring, Lin Yuan unceremoniously pulled out the electromagnetic knife on his back, and directly killed the opponent!

The author has something to say: Come to a small mecha theater——

Suzaku: ...Long time no see.

Black Dragon: ...Long time no see.

Suzaku: What have you been doing these past few years?

Black Dragon: Stay in the Mecha Association.And you?

Suzaku: Stay in the museum.

Bai Yu: I have been by the little prince's side all these years!

No one paid attention to it for a long time.

Bai Yu: Senior Suzaku, look at me, look at me!Why did you ignore me once the black dragon came out?senior?Senior, I am here!Don't be afraid, I will protect you! (waving white wings and eagerly leaning over)

Suzaku glanced at Bai Yu, and then... the firepower system was activated, and the light energy cannon was ready to launch!boom!

Bai Yu... died.
