go off fire

For five years, Leonard thought that only ashes were left in his heart, but he didn't expect that the flame of hatred and anger would never go out. It was burning from the inside out, as if to destroy his brain, his body, everything he had. Everything that was hated was burned to the ground.

But at this moment, his hand holding the joystick is calm, his eyes injecting the system interface are calm, and even his breathing is incomparably rhythmic, because he knows that to defeat Levi requires absolute concentration, impulsiveness, will only Let yourself die even uglier.

Five years ago he seldom completely beat him, and five years later, everything is even more unknown.

"Leonard Summers—the sand tiger—is ready." His deep voice came from the huge mechanical armor, and the cheetah-shaped robot was like a beast, posing an attacking posture, and instantly changed from the cold Metal texture gray turns to sand gold - this is the most concealed color in the desert, and as an officer who has been on duty for a long time on a desert planet, the Sand Tiger K01 is also one of the models he is most familiar with.

Can't lose!He clenched the joystick and said to himself silently.

"Levi Lancaster-Fei Liu-ready." Levi's cold voice came from the loudspeaker, and he didn't seem to have changed a bit after not seeing him for five years.

But everything has changed.

Leonard's eyes turned cold, and he pushed the joystick violently. The Sand Tiger Mecha preempted the attack, and his figure was like a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the opponent fiercely.

Unlike the Sand Tiger, a land combat heavy mecha, although Feiliu is also one of the basic models of land warfare in the alliance, it focuses more on the flexibility of the mecha and medium and long-range attack weapons, just like its name Feiliu , slender and flexible, but the weak armor is a big flaw. In close combat, it has a big disadvantage when facing a model like the Sand Tiger that has both strength and agility.

But disadvantages are always relative. Between mechas of similar levels, the manipulator is the key to deciding the outcome.I saw that the blue and white Feiliu, like a light dragonfly, dodged the attack of the sand tiger at an incredible angle and at an incredible speed, jumped hundreds of meters away, and then raised his hand and shot three times. The laser had already shot at the sand tiger that had just landed.

But Leonard was worthy of being the number one elite in the army. He had already predicted the opponent's attack the moment the attack failed, and quickly avoided it. The laser was opening the place where he had just landed.In an instant, a scorched blackness appeared in the arena.

In less than a minute, Shahu had fought Feiliu for several rounds, while the people watching outside the arena still exclaimed for several rounds.

This was supposed to be a diplomatic exhibition match, but under the control of top ace pilots, it was even more exciting than a real battle.It is not surprising that Leonard Summers, as the former trump card, has such strength. Unexpectedly, he is Prince Levi who came to visit.The prince is said to have graduated from a well-known private boys' school in the Commonwealth. He is proficient in various languages. Of course, he also has classical hobbies such as horseback riding and archery, which are unique to the ancient royal family. It's really not like a mech pilot.

The royal family in the universe CE1208 is not the royal family in the middle ages of the ancient earth. No one will personally fight the enemy. Although they also have huge wealth, they are more like the continuation of the constitutional monarchy in the 20th century AD. The royal family is just a symbol. , Generally, it is a peaceful visit on behalf of the country, and by the way, traveling in mountains and rivers.

Therefore, when the prince proposed that he and the federal military receptionist, Lieutenant Colonel Leonard Summers, have a "friendly" contest, everyone thought it was just a whim of the prince.

Although everyone knew that Lieutenant Colonel Summers had a hot temper, no one expected that the situation would turn out like this.The prince chose the newly completed arena instead of the simulated machine as the location of the battle. He really wanted to fight the ace pilot head-on, and the ace pilot really cooperated with the prince to tear down the place.

The pitiful new arena, which was built at a huge cost, has been blown into half ruins by two basic mechas. If this continues, the diplomats will have to consider whether to take refuge.

"Oh, no." Eric - Leonard's adjutant - covered his face in pain, "If this continues, I will be killed by Major General Luna."

Luna Smith is Leonard's immediate superior, and she has been working tirelessly to suppress Lieutenant Colonel Summers for five years. If the lieutenant colonel and the wayward prince really blow up the arena, it will be a disaster for Major General Smith. What a great opportunity - kill yourself, and kick the unsightly Leonard to the edge of the universe.

10 minutes.

Leonard had already begun to pant slightly, the cockpit was extremely hot, and beads of sweat were constantly rolling down from the tip of his forehead and nose—this indicated that the remaining energy was no longer enough to maintain the comfortable conditions in the cabin.He glanced at the energy indicator at the bottom left of the screen, the green energy bar had fallen within the red warning line, only 25%.

All obstacles in the arena have been blown away.Partly by himself, partly by the seemingly slender Fei Liu.

hateful!Leonard gritted his teeth. With such an attack, why does that mecha still have energy?Levi, what have you been doing for five years?

The seemingly frenzied attack, but every time is carefully calculated, without any waste, even the angle of the body is calculated in advance.Levi's manipulation of this mecha is like manipulating his own body, doing whatever he wants with great precision and without any panic.It seemed that sitting there was just an emotionless robot with powerful computing power.

20 minutes.

5%.

"Insufficient energy, insufficient energy..." The annoying siren sounded.Leonard angrily punched the operation interface, and the alarm sound stopped immediately.Fingers tapped commands on the input interface quickly, Leonard could no longer suppress his irritability, calmness disappeared from his heart, and all that was left was a black abyss of emotion.Unwillingness, anger and hatred completely dominated him.

attack!Even if both sides suffer, they must defeat the man in front of them.

He had already forgotten that this was just an exhibition match, as if he was once again in the space filled with blood and fire five years ago, clutching the wound in his abdomen, watching his cold back going away.

Kill him, kill him, kill him!Blood came to his black eyes, and his handsome face began to twist: "Go to hell, Li Wei!"

The red, blue and white mechs no longer jumped to escape, but stood quietly hundreds of meters away from the sand tiger, facing the rushing sand tiger, raised their black muzzles, if fired, there would be no escape. avoidable.

The man sitting in the cockpit looked at the energy bar with only 5% remaining, curled the corners of his mouth, and hung his fingers above the launch command.

"Leynard..." He softly said the name, but the command was delayed.

The golden sand tiger finally threw Fei Liu down.The two mechas were entangled and fell down on the mottled and tattered ground of the arena. After 10 seconds, the color of the two mechas turned back to iron gray, and no one had time to attack the other.

The diplomats who were watching from the sidelines were able to breathe a sigh of relief - Heavenly Father!Finally, no one was killed!What a joy!

Not to mention Prince Levi, Summers on the federal side really wants to kill the prince. If something really happened to His Royal Highness—such as a broken arm or leg—it would be a serious diplomatic incident. There was an accident.

The Federation and the United Kingdom of Hillen are the two main forces in the Star Alliance, and it would be terrible if they really fought.Human beings have just enjoyed peace for less than 50 years, and local wars still break out from time to time, and the wars are still in people's memory and sight.

Then everyone's eyes turned to Lieutenant General Christine Lancer, who had the highest rank in the field. This obviously excessive battle should have been stopped long ago, but for some reason, the young lieutenant general just stared at the field with piercing eyes. The two mechas fighting inside did not say a word.It wasn't until the battle was over that he finally showed a faint smile.

"It's so exciting." The lieutenant general's clear voice spread to every corner of the arena along with the radio, followed by overwhelming applause - the lieutenant general spoke, of course, to save face.

"I've never seen such an impressive game. His Royal Highness Prince Levi and Lieutenant Colonel Summers are both too good." A woman said with a pale face, clapping her hands and forcing a smile.

For this upper-class lady, this naked scene is obviously a little too exciting.

Leonard crawled out of the fallen mecha in disgrace. His mecha was pressed face down on Fei Liu's body, with the hatch facing the ground, so his posture was not so chic and beautiful.The sudden drop in temperature also calmed his mind down.

This is in the Federation, not some wild planet on the edge of the law and civilization;

Now it's a "friendly" contest, not a life-and-death battle.

Wrong, all wrong.He shook his head, took off his helmet, and almost knelt on the sand when his knees gave way.Manipulating the mech to fight takes a lot of mental and physical strength. For him who has been working in the logistics for several years and hasn't piloted a mech for a long time, this kind of intense battle is a great burden.

A hand held him.

The gloves that came with the combat uniform were taken off, and the fingers that fell on the black arm armor were long and white, and the nails were clean and pink, showing the pampering of the owner of the hands.

But he knew that there were countless calluses on the palm and fingertips of this hand, which was strong enough to hold up a strong adult man, and also enough to push a person into the abyss.

He hesitated for a moment - only a second, then pushed away the hand, resisted the urge to vomit, and stood up with his weak body.

It was because of the soaring adrenaline that I didn't feel it just now. Even though there was no difference in appearance, the body that hadn't piloted the mech for too long was like a taut string, already on the verge of death.

He looked away and beckoned to Lieutenant General Lancer at the top.The lieutenant general nodded, and the staff entered through the gates on both sides and began to clean up the wreckage.Levi took off his helmet, and his light golden half-long hair fell down, half covering the prince's icy blue eyes. Only the prince's snow-high nose and smiling mouth attracted the attention of everyone present.

"It is a pleasure to fight you," said the Prince, and held out his hand, the one without the glove.

Leonard stretched out his hand expressionlessly, touched the prince's hand perfunctorily, and was about to withdraw it, but was grabbed by the prince violently.

Only Leonard could see it, and the eyes hidden in the light blond messy hair instantly became sharp.

"You are excellent." He said, his voice was as cold as ever, without ups and downs, "You shouldn't just be a support staff."

Leonard secretly pulled his hand back expressionlessly, and he heard himself say: "Thank you, you are also very good, not like an ordinary prince."
