Chapter 87 Traitor (2)
In the blink of an eye, the calm Aslan Star City was in chaos!
In the building of Jin Rilun, Lieutenant General Luther's roar echoed all over the floor: "Jin Rilun has officers and soldiers, immediately protect and evacuate the people!"
Soon, cluttered footsteps and shouts came one after another.
"Lock the enemy's escape route, and the mecha soldiers rushed out!"
"What is the enemy model? Why is it moving so fast..."
"Now the Inspector is chasing after him!?"
The star city map was projected in front of the big screen, and the red dots symbolizing the enemy's situation were flashing and moving rapidly. An officer of the Golden Sun Wheel suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "No, two mechas are going to rush into the city!!"
Over the area of Aslan 1, the A-class mecha spread its ferocious wings. The two muzzles extend, the fire bursts, and the wind is torn apart.
"damn it……"
There was a lot of blood in the cockpit, Duke's crystal bone was attached to the control screen, his hands were pressing the beam therapy device on his injured leg, and the corners of his eyes twitched wildly.
When he saw the small white mecha behind him, he couldn't help swearing a bunch of swear words... S-Xueji was spinning in the air to avoid the artillery fire, biting tightly behind him, and was steadily pulling in the distance.
Seth Henry's electronic voice resounded in the cockpit of the snow dove. Jiang Jianming, who was manipulating the mecha with both hands, panted slightly, and cold sweat fell from his black hair.
The lingering pain of being shaken by the crystal bone was still tormenting his heart, he pursed his lips and concentrated: "Well done...give me a half-shot of tranquilizer."
The long-lost icy needle pierced the back of the neck, soothing the uncomfortable feeling. Jiang Jianming breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing how many times he felt that tranquilizers were really a life-saving thing.
His eyes were calm, and his fingers quickly slid on the control screen.
Xue Jiu slanted past a gray high-rise building, and then rotated and climbed higher. While maintaining high-speed flight, the three mecha cannons were fully opened, and the artillery fire poured out!
Two A-level mechas, which were also modified, were chasing and shooting each other in the sky above Star City.
On the street, shouts, exclamations, and shouts of swearing were mixed.
Glass shattered, pedestrians fell, and children cried. The bunting that was hung up to celebrate the emperor's birthday, or the artificial flowerbed that had just been decorated, were all torn apart, trampled, and messed up everywhere. .
All the patrolling officers were running, directing the panicked residents to evacuate, even if they themselves turned blue.
The peace of the empire has lasted for too long. There is a silver bucket outside and a golden sun wheel inside. The fire of war has not spread to the heads of civilians for decades.
"Don't come here! This is a residential area!!"
A shrill roar came from the cockpit of the modified mecha Black Star: "Chase again, chase me again and shoot at the residential building! I'm shooting!!"
It was the rebellious Duke staff who was roaring loudly, and he waved his crystal bone frantically: "Do you hear me, chase after me and shoot—"
The built-in horn of the mecha transmitted his voice far away, and in the echo, a muzzle of the L-Black Star turned and aimed at the continuous buildings not far away.
urban area. In an ordinary residential building.
The little girl, who was only three or four years old, was wearing a flower crown and holding a plate of cake, standing by the window at home, with a flower-like smile on her face: "Mom and Dad, take a photo-"
The little girl's parents crouched on the other side, sweetly holding up the professional camera. Just as his fingers were about to press the shutter, a shadow of fear suddenly shrouded his smiling face.
In the window, the fiery cannonlight of the mecha was shining behind the girl who didn't know what was going on.
"Lily—!!!"
The camera landed, and the couple screamed and rushed towards their daughter, but it was too late.
boom! !
With the loud sound of the wall cracking, the cannonlight took away the vision for a moment. The air was turbulent, and the couple fell to the ground whimpering.
The smoke gradually dissipated.
A few seconds later, the girl's wailing came out.
"Lily... Lily!!"
The young parents got up from the ground frantically and rushed into the thick smoke, only to be shocked by the scene in front of them the next second.
I saw the girl slumped on the ground, crying loudly, her cake fell on the white dress, but otherwise unscathed.
Pieces of broken window glass were scattered on the floor behind her, and they shone with dreamy light, reflecting a beautifully-lined snow-white mecha above.
S-Xuejiu dashed across at the last minute, and the angle was perfectly stuck between the wall and the window. A pair of pure white shields were opened, and the girl was protected below by the sympathetic wings of an angel.
It used the other half of the fuselage to resist the cannon. At this moment, a quarter of the fuselage was burnt to black, and the broken parts were dancing with electric light.
The couple who survived the catastrophe knelt on the ground, hugged their daughter tightly in their arms, and raised their heads in tears almost reverently——
Through the alloy glass in front of the cockpit, they vaguely saw the profile of a black-haired young man who was handsome and quiet.
Blinking in a trance, S-Xuejiu has been pulled up again. The gust of wind poured into the broken window, and the mecha rushed into the sky!
Jiang Jianming took a deep breath and suppressed the pounding blood in his heart. He glanced at the damage degree of the mecha reported by Set, which was 17%...
He nodded: "It's not a big problem."
As long as you can't crash the plane, you can chase it again!
The red light of the alarm was intertwined in this airspace, pedestrians took refuge everywhere, people in high-rise buildings ran down one after another, and those who lived in low-rise buildings hugged their heads and hid under their desks.
Everyone turned their trembling eyes to the two steel giants fighting in the sky.
The wind whistled through the blackened wings of the snow dove, but the damage to the outer shell did not affect the speed of this mecha.
Jiang Jianming's eyes were fixed on the mecha L-Black Star that was flying through the high-rise buildings in front of him, and he gritted his teeth lightly.
"Set, if I can destroy the engine and the energy tank at the same time, there is a chance that the enemy mech can still fire..."
Halfway through his words, he first squinted and shook his head, "...Forget it."
At present, human life cannot be viewed with probability.
But now things are in trouble. There are residential buildings all around, which means that the citizens of the empire in Aslan Star City are all taken as hostages by Duke...
I'm afraid it will take some time for Jin Ilun's ar to catch up... What should do?
"You still dare to chase, don't you want the lives of these civilians!?"
Duke still turned his head and yelled in the cockpit, a crack spreading across his glasses, and the manic grin of a desperate man on his face.
"Turn off the mecha gun and land, or I'll fire it!! At that time, the entire empire will know that Jin Ilun is a dictatorship that ignores the lives of civilians—"
But at this moment, the communication beside Jiang Jianming lit up. Old Marshal Chen Hanke's face appeared in the small window.
"Little Your Excellency, I already know about the situation."
The old marshal's brows are stretched, his expression is very kind, and those wrinkles even seem a little kind.
However, there was no smile in the eyes of the old man. There was only something as hard as iron, and he said slowly, "Well... under special circumstances, it is unavoidable to pay a small price. If it causes human sacrifice, I will take all the responsibility."
Jiang Jianming's heart sank, and he read two meanings from these words.
The first layer means that the old marshal is expressing himself that under the current situation, he can sacrifice the lives of some civilians in order to control the Duke staff.
The second meaning is that, according to the old marshal's judgment, the current situation is so serious that some civilians can be sacrificed during the operation.
"..." Jiang Jianming's palm holding the joystick suddenly tightened, his knuckles turning blue.
Duke roared, "I'll say it one last time: turn off your mech guns and land!!"
Jiang Jianming pursed his lips, he raised his hand... Let Xue Jiu take back the mecha gun.
Countless bright lights exploded in front, and it was the moment when L-Black Star stared at Xue Jiu and closed the cannon, he turned his head and fired!
However, Xue Jiu reacted quickly, decelerating and diving, and the strafing flames rubbed the fuselage and was avoided.
The aftermath swept across a tall building in the distance, and countless pieces of glass fell from the sky, and the people exclaimed incessantly!
Jiang Jianming said in a deep voice: "Staff Duke, calm down. The empire's territory covers three entire galaxies, and there are also Yin Beidou troops stationed in the far stars outside the galaxy. Where can you escape to?"
"Don't talk nonsense, land!!" Duke was still roaring with red eyes.
"It's okay to land, but what if I land now? When you rush out of the city, Jin Rilun's mecha array will immediately blast you to the ground."
Another series of sweeps. Xuejiu raised her shield to protect the cockpit, and flew forward amid the gunfire, with a few slanting black smoke from the wings.
"But thanks to me, you don't have any life in your hands yet."
Jiang Jianming said to himself: "Staff Duke. The matter has not reached the point of no return."
"..."
Duke's heavy breathing echoed in the air.
On the street, the people hiding under the shelter looked up tremblingly.
The two mechas were still flying at a relative distance. The muzzle of the mecha Black Star pointed to the building below and Xuejiu behind him, while Xuejiu only took a defensive posture with a shield.
"It's not you who stole the real crystal mine, you are an accomplice, not the mastermind."
Neither of the two mechas fired again, and only the faint voice of the young man was speaking in midair.
"As long as you land now and tell everything you know, not only will you not be sentenced to death, but you will be able to make up for your faults. Maybe you will come out after only three or five years in prison..."
The mecha is galloping, and in front of it are two dark golden high-rise buildings. This is a landmark building in the first district, the Twin Star Building, and it is also the tallest building in Aslan Star City.
"Let's get back to the shore, Staff Officer Duke. You also know that I initially said I was going to kill it was false, we still have information we don't have, the Empire needs you..."
The accident happened at this time.
Just as L-Black Star was about to pass through the center of the Twin Towers, two unfamiliar mechas rushed out from both sides. With the blind spots of the vision provided by the building's shading, the mecha muzzles were focused!
Duke's pupils shrank suddenly, and he opened his mouth to shout...
A loud bang echoed in the sky, drowning his voice.
"!?" Jiang Jianming held his breath, he suddenly tightened the control, Xue Jiu drew an upward arc and stopped.
Is it the Mecha of the Golden Sun Wheel?
No, there is no military emblem on the fuselage—
I saw the flames explode on the L-Black Star in front, and the huge mecha fell down with thick smoke, and accelerated towards the ground. And the two mechas that fired also rushed up, one left and one right against the L-Black Star's scrapped fuselage, slowing it down to prevent the mecha from falling and hurting people.
The three mechas made a muffled noise and fell on the empty square in front of the Gemini Building. The front end of the L-Black Star had been deformed, the steel was twisted into a ball, and thick smoke was billowing.
The two mecha pilots jumped out of the two mechas respectively. They were two men.
Ignoring the scalding temperature of the L-Black Star, they smashed open the cockpit with a crystal bone and dragged Duke out.
Duke's body was bloody, soft as if his bones had been taken away. The two mecha pilots looked at each other, and one of them said, "I'm out of breath."
The other opened the wrist phone, and spoke to the other end of the wrist phone with the correct tone of the subordinate's report to the superior:
"Your Excellency, the villain who disturbed the Star City has been killed on the spot, and the mecha landed in front of the Twin Towers. There were no casualties at the scene."
In the distance, the sound of cheers from the crowd could be heard faintly.
Jiang Jianming was panting for a while, he controlled Xuejiu to the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, pushed the cockpit and jumped down.
He stepped forward, glanced at Duke's body with complicated eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Thank you for your help, you are..."
The two men saluted at the same time, obviously well-trained: "We are private mecha operators hired by Prime Minister Lauren, and we are here to help capture the villains under the order of His Excellency Prime Minister!"
Sir Lauren?
Jiang Jianming was slightly startled, and suddenly raised his head as if he was aware of it.
I saw two rows of aircraft from far to near, they passed through the high and low buildings, surrounded by escorts, and landed with a high-end aircraft in the middle.
A middle-aged man walked down from the aircraft in the middle. He had a serious face and was wearing a low-key and restrained dark blue aristocratic clothes. He first said to his two mecha pilots: "Well done, hard work. ."
As soon as the nobleman appeared, the people in the distance suddenly boiled.
"It's Your Excellency Lauren!!"
"Long live the Prime Minister!!"
They shouted with joy, and some even rushed forward with tears in their eyes and waved their hands to the nobleman.
Jiang Jianming was almost not hit by the crowd, so he quickly put away Xuejiu and ducked to the side, heaving a sigh of relief from a distance.
He turned his attention back to the middle-aged nobles who were comforting the people. His Excellency the Prime Minister should be quite old, and the gentle appearance of this middle-aged man is the result of a cell repair operation just like His Majesty the Emperor.
Gerhard Lauren...was born from an old noble family but is a staunch civilian faction. In recent years, he has finally reached the position of Prime Minister. He is diligent, thrifty and upright, and has a high reputation among the middle and lower classes.
That is, what Teacher Luo Hai mentioned when he talked to him at night, another strong competitor besides Audrey in the battle for the prince.
However, for Jiang Jianming, because Prime Minister Lauren and Commander Chen often had frictions on state affairs, and because the old marshal was the teacher of His Royal Highness Ryan, there were not many opportunities for him to have direct contact with Lauren back then.
The last time we talked, it seemed that it was at the funeral of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He was covered in black veil, silently holding the coffin, surrounded by all kinds of strange and complicated eyes. His Excellency Lauren stepped forward, politely consoling the people of his death, and condolences.
In other words, the relationship between the two can be summed up in three words——
Not too familiar.
A black spot in the air quickly enlarged, and it was Jin Rilun's mecha chasing after him.
Jiang Jianming knew that he had nothing to do with him next. He took another look at Duke's body regretfully, but in the end he still couldn't catch the alive...
Lauren ordered her own guards and the patrolling police who came to escort the excited people away from the scene. Then they separated from the crowd and walked towards Jiang Jianming not far away.
Jiang Jianming hesitated for a while, but still gave a military salute.
Lauren looked surprised, carefully looked at Jiang Jianming several times, and said in disbelief, "Your Excellency Crown Princess?... How could it be you?"
Before he finished speaking, the aristocratic middle-aged man took two steps forward, respectfully raised the right hand of the young officer in front of him, and lowered his head, "You are startled."
——This is the most obvious etiquette for treating the female family members of the royal family. Obviously, the next action is to kiss the hands.
sand……
Suddenly the wind picked up, and a slender silver-black mecha passed from behind.
Mecha M-Zhan Comet cast a shadow on the head of the "Crown Princess" who was holding a hand and didn't respond at all.
"..."
Jiang Jianming's eyes froze.
There was a flurry of hair on his back. In a trance, as if hallucinating a pair of cold emerald eyes staring at him gloomily——
Jiang Jianming woke up instantly, his right hand held Lauren's left hand in turn, waved it twice, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Your Excellency Lauren, for your righteous action. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of Jin Ilun, I would like to express my high respect to Your Excellency."
Without waiting for Lauren to speak, he gestured to the mecha on top of his head again, and took advantage of the opportunity to let go of his hands and put his back behind him: "Someone will come to pick it up, please allow me to excuse me first. For the rest of the chores, professional Jin Ilun soldiers will come. Deal with it, and you won't have to trouble your Excellency."
Lauren was at a loss, but after all, the noble qualities of many years were there, and she bowed and raised her hand gracefully, watching Jiang Jianming turn around and run.
Mecha Zhan Comet landed just at this moment, and the baffle armor in front of the cockpit made it impossible for the outside world to see who was sitting inside, only to see a slender, strong, well-jointed palm stretched out.
That hand grabbed the arm Jiang Jianming handed over, easily carried the person into the cockpit, and then slammed the door shut.
The author has something to say: Jiang: If you are kissed by an outsider, you will be scratched by the domestic prince.
