The prince landed on this mech.

—Obviously, this is the simplest declarative sentence.

But the more detailed facts are: His Royal Highness fell from a high altitude and was bombed by space bandits all the way, but he was unscathed, but the acceleration was layer upon layer.

When the red gold crystal bone unfolded within a thousandth of a second and slammed into the two wings of the mech, the huge impact on the cockpit was no less than a shell on the head.

Physiologically, Jiang Jianming's eyes went dark, his tinnitus sharply filled his entire consciousness, and his chest was so full of blood that he almost suffocated—later he firmly believed that he was not stunned at this time because of his perseverance.

I knew it was time to change to a more advanced Xuejiu... Jiang Jianming bit the tip of his tongue, forcing himself to wake up, squinting to look at the figure on the mecha.

His Royal Highness obviously endured the same impact, and he didn't even have a pressure relief protection, but he straightened up as if nothing happened.

The platinum curly hair stretched out in the strong wind, and Prince Garcia put away his slender crystal bones, like a handsome statue of the god of war.

Jiang Jianming once again felt helplessly the huge difference between races... He even felt that the gap between disabled humans and new humans might be greater than the gap between humans and chimpanzees in the old era.

Jiang Jianming turned sideways, raised his voice and called out: "Your Highness."

His expression was still so gentle and undisciplined, even though his intellectual brain was frantically sounding the alarm.

——Even the prince who is close at hand has a face that is almost exactly the same as that of the late Prince Lai An.

It's just that he is more mature and handsome, as if the appearance in his memory has indeed passed through three years.

"Launch."

Garcia just glanced at this strange young man with lowered eyes, and his voice was sharp when he gave the order, "Chasing the bastard."

After the incident just now, Lava's mecha group suffered a lot of losses, and they were already evacuating in line.

What this group of space pirates are best at is guerrilla warfare. After a cannonball, the soles of their feet are oiled, and their ability to escape is so good that they can make people jump.

Jiang Jianming: "Your Highness, this mecha is about to fail."

Garcia's tone is unquestionable: "It won't be damaged anymore, lift off."

Jiang Jianming immediately interpreted the meaning of the prince: because he is here, he is standing here, so even if he shuttles through the hail of bullets, this mech will not be damaged again.

……so similar.

Even such a cold and aggressive personality and frivolous demeanor are...

Jiang Jianming manipulated the mecha into the air, his eyes dimmed.

If the only difference is that the Lai An in his memory would never speak to him in such a condescending tone.

Even if it was their last meeting that year...

That time, His Highness spoke cold words to him abnormally, and then resolutely left.

But even so, it was a break between lovers, not an order from the superior to the inferior.

The several mechas responsible for the disconnection of the Space Pirates were still firing wildly, but Garcia once again spread out the crystal bones behind him, like a pair of wings of a god, protecting the dilapidated M-Jidian 18 in the middle.

boom!Bang bang bang, bang...

Explosions continued one after another, but none of the shells could penetrate the pair of huge red gold crystal bones.His Royal Highness did what he said, but actually blocked them all.

"..."

Jiang Jianming was silent.He remembered Lai An's crystal bone, when it unfolded, it seemed that all the light in the world would be swallowed up, it was so powerful that it was terrifying, as if it was born with an almost cruel aggressiveness.

It is one of the few super S-level crystal bones in the empire, and it is also the hardness that even mecha cannons can't penetrate, and it is also the toughness that can be stretched at will.

He thought he would never see him again in this lifetime.

"At one o'clock, with an inclination of 16.3°, fire."

The prince's slightly cold voice came from above.

Jiang Jianming fired a cannon obediently. It seemed that a gray and black mecha fell down in the distance, and it seemed that there were two... It doesn't matter.

He heard his heart beat fast in his chest, his eardrums thumped, and the blood in his whole body also pulsated accordingly, changing from cold to hot.

Appearance, voice, personality, crystal bones, manners... Even if there are still slight differences in details, they are too similar, similar enough to be identified as the same person.

Jiang Jianming clenched his trembling teeth.

He made all kinds of plans to take this trip, but in fact it was just for the sake of eight words: to see people in life, and to see corpses in death.

There are many possibilities, but this is the same: he found Lai An alive, or he found Lai An's dead body, or he turned himself into a dead body before finding something.

The present situation obviously does not fall into any of these categories.

——On the first day he came to the far interstellar space, he met his little highness who should have died in the depths of the sea.

The little Highness has another name and identity, and it seems that he has never known him.

Looking down from time to time, the Yinbeidou base has gradually been left behind.

Jiang Jianming slowed down the mechas, and the mechas of the "Lava" Space Pirates in front of Ren broke through the clouds one after another, and soon disappeared.

Garcia's eyes sank: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Jianming said calmly: "Your Highness, this mecha is just a weak and pitiful M-Jiden 18, you can't force it to chase after lava's specialized mecha."

Garcia: "I said..."

"—You can't force me." Jiang Jianming raised his cold eyebrows, his face was slightly pale, but his expression was very serious.

He leaned back on the driver's seat and pointed to himself: "After all, I'm just an ordinary recruit, and I can't handle such a high-intensity mecha battle. If I suddenly go into shock and the mecha fallsIt's time, will there be a third legendary prince in the empire?"

High above the sky, the damaged M-Xiden 18 hovered motionless, letting the wind blow past it.

Surprisingly, Garcia was not angered by these rebellious words.

He just turned his eyes unhurriedly, and his eyes landed on Jiang Jianming for the first time.

The prince's emerald-colored pupils were deep, and he suddenly leaned over and rested one hand on the alloy glass outside the cockpit, his slender five fingers vaguely brought a sense of oppression.

"Disobeying orders in front of the battle, talking about the royal family." Garcia said in a deep voice, "The recruits recruited by Yin Beidou this year are not small."

Jiang Jianming said in a low voice: "For a mere recruit, it doesn't matter if you are more courageous. But you are a prince, even if it is to protect the fortress, you shouldn't risk yourself like this."

Garcia frowned.

... The difference in the performance of the mechs is like a natural moat, and everyone knows that it is impossible to catch up.

But now the fortress is trapped by alien creatures, and it will take at least half an hour for the mecha to lift off.The lava fired a wave of fire in the sky, and there were a lot of casualties in the fortress.

A moment ago, he was sitting on the highest watchtower and bombarded indiscriminately, of course not because of the cool wind there, but to attract the firepower of the space pirates.

And now the mechs who are chasing the lava alone are running, of course, not for the sake of taking advantage of the victory...but because, if he doesn't use up his bluff, the Space Pirates will inevitably turn back and continue attacking the fortress.

Garcia took a deep look at Jiang Jianming, a little surprised that such a young recruit could see so clearly.

Seeing that the lava had gone far away, the prince lost the interest in chasing after him, instead he felt that the person in front of him was more interesting.

He opened his lips and asked, "Who told you to break in with a mecha?"

Jiang Jianming said: "No one. Lieutenant Colonel Luis told us to stand by. I am... just like you said, disobeying orders before the battle."

Garcia couldn't help chuckling in amazement, thanks to the magnificent appearance bestowed by the gods, when the prince showed his face, the brow peaks seemed to have a dazzling and sharp light: "Why?"

...The situation became a little strange for a while.

A noble prince of the empire and a military cadet who had just arrived in the far interstellar world, unexpectedly had such a broken mech that was about to crash at any time suspended in mid-air, talking unimportantly.

Sitting alone outside the mecha and alone in the cockpit, the atmosphere is actually very gentle, so gentle that it doesn't seem like a new acquaintance, but rather an old friend.

Jiang Jianming: "I once saw another person with a golden-red crystal bone, and it was unforgettable... But he died, at least the world said he was dead."

He paused, then raised his eyes suddenly, "Your Highness, has anyone told you that you are very similar to Crown Prince Lai An?"

"..."

For a moment, Jiang Jianming clearly saw a ray of fierce fire flashing across the prince's dark emerald eyes.

Kacha... The five fingers that were touching the front of the cockpit suddenly pulled back, and the alloy glass, which could not be broken by a machine gun, unexpectedly burst into several cracks.

Jiang Jianming narrowed his eyes.

He couldn't help thinking to himself: Why is this person so angry?

But only a moment later, the prince restrainedly retracted that hostility again—just like he once retracted such a dazzling and dangerous crystal bone into his body.

"... Return," Garcia calmly withdrew his hand, and actually sat down in a comfortable position on the mecha, with his elbows on his knees, "back to the fortress."

Jiang Jianming was wondering where Garcia's anger came from just now, when he heard the word "return flight", his expression changed subtly.

He cannot return.He made too much noise, and the military's censorship and questioning were unavoidable. According to Jiang Jianming's plan, his identity as the "widow of the former crown prince" had to be concealed at least until Yin Beidou entered his file.

In fact, if he hadn't met a real Lai An in the middle of the way—or Garcia, he should have found a chance to jump to Alien Alpha with the snow dove, and Tang Zhen and Bemaner would meet with them, and Keos Military Academy's military academyIt is only right to join the First Fortress as a student.

But now, the plan has been completely disrupted.

"Your Highness," Jiang Jianming thought for a while and then said tentatively, "Lieutenant Colonel Luis, who led us all the way from Albion Star City, said that you don't usually stay in the Second Fortress for a long time?"

Garcia knocked on the glass outside the cockpit, and said casually: "The second fortress is in the rear of the distant star. There is no battle. A useful soldier will be taken to the front line sooner or later... Say it again, return."

These words were too impolite, Jiang Jianming seemed to see a big black pot on top of the entire second fortress, with the word "useless" written on it.

He wanted to laugh a little, coughed quickly, held the joystick, and asked, "Then where are you going next?"

Garcia: "Alien Alpha, the first fortress, we will leave tomorrow night."

In mid-air, the blue-black body shook, and the shock that had just started stopped again.

——It seems that the plan has not been completely disrupted.

"?" Garcia frowned.

But he saw the black-haired young man looking up, with a mysterious smile in his eyes, and raised his index finger to his curved lips.So the black gloves contrasted more vividly with the fair skin.

He said softly: "Your Highness, we happened to be on the way—let's not return, I'll take you directly to the first fortress, how about it?"

The author has something to say:

Ten chapters, the interstellar collection of corpses has made initial progress.

Jiang: ... What did I collect?
