【Respect】The Beautiful Future

Leaning against the Winged Lion with the hatch door wide open, Zhou Fangzun slowly took out the cigarette case from his pocket, knocked out one from it, and brought it to his lips to bite it on the light, the light blue smoke overflowed and entwined around him Holding the lighter with slender fingers, it rose slowly and dispersed in the air.The pungent smell of tobacco permeated his lungs, Zhou Fang let out a deep breath, and glanced sideways at the vigorous and noisy barbarians behind him, and finally fell into the distance.

There was already the faint sound of artillery explosions.Standing aside, Kusanagi squinted his eyes hidden behind the purple sunglasses, followed Zhou Fang to look at the corner of the sky that was burnt red, he casually patted Zhou Fang who had been waiting impatiently on the shoulder , "It seems that it will be our turn soon, general."

The plan offered by Ovidia is to take advantage of the fact that Munakata can only counterattack passively under the restrictions of the federal order, and choose the battlefield near Tokyo occupied by Barbara.The Union Army consciously acted as the main force, and what Barbara had to do was to surprise the Union Army from the rear when the two sides were fighting, so as to achieve the effect of front and back attack.

Munakata Reiji expressed his appreciation for this plan.

As Kusanagi Izumo said, fierce battles have already begun on the front line. The icy steel of the KnightMare mech reflects the scorching flames that exploded. The dilapidated wreckage gradually piles up on the scorched black ground, and the high-temperature airflow mixed with gunpowder smoke sweeps away. Come on, all the sounds in the world seem to be only the roar of artillery fire and the rushing reports of soldiers at this moment.

"CR-33 was shot, the damage was slight, continue to fight."

"The AR team is completely wiped out, requesting instructions for the next step!"

Ovidia frowned, gritted her teeth and sighed.After gaining the support of Barbara, he fought this battle with full confidence, but the intensity of the opponent's concentrated firepower seemed to be a little worry-free.As time went on, their disadvantages became more and more obvious, which made Ovidia, who was not yet rich in actual combat experience, have to lament the precision and ruthlessness of the opponent's command techniques.

This time... I will never lose to you again.He let go of one hand to switch the channel and planned to contact the waiting team of Barbara. His fingertips slid and landed on the name of Kusanagi Izumo on the screen, and the eager voice of the adjutant sounded from the earphone:

"The Barbara troops have been found in the rear! We have already engaged them!"

"Baowuluo?" He was stunned for a moment, "It's really time to come...Wait...what, what?!" Ovidia exclaimed, and the loss reports continued to come from the earphones, and the data At the back of the map, many symbols representing the body disappeared along with the continuous warning sound like a tide.The noise was so loud that his temples ached. Ovidia took a deep breath and barely managed to stabilize his mind and dialed the call with Barbara.

"Huh—?" A hoarse and lazy male voice sounded, and the tone words hummed from his nasal cavity had no real content but showed his impatience after being disturbed.

"Zhou Fangzun—!" Ovidia held back his anger but still couldn't help gnashing his teeth, "What are you doing? What good is it for you to betray our agreement and join the Federation?! Or are you trying to tell me that you accidentally went wrong? out of place?!"

"Ha." The man let out a muffled laugh, but still couldn't hear what it meant.

Although it was clear that questioning would be of no avail now, the majestic anger was almost uncontrollable to spew out. He let out a cold snort before opening his mouth to continue, but suddenly his eyes widened and he was unable to utter a sound.

A video window occupying the entire screen popped up on the display screen in front of Ovidia, and it was the Federation that invaded their communication channel.The picture clearly shows the other party commanding the car. A man with a handsome face is sitting behind a long table, his hands wrapped in white gloves are clasped casually on the table, and the dark blue military uniform decorated with golden details is properly covered by him. Wearing it on his body, his violet eyes were deep and vast, as if he could look directly into his mind through the screen, and even the curvature of the corners of his lips was impeccable.

He was smiling, and he was furious.Just because of everything that he had talked to him face to face in the Barbara.

"First of all, I apologize for my previous rude behavior. After all, the situation at that time was too special. Then please allow me to re-introduce myself now: Munakata Reishi, the Federation Brigadier General, the commander of the Fourth Army, your... enemy." He said slowly Slow down.

The unnecessary self-introduction, the badge on the man's chest clearly showed all his glory, and the provocation was more convincing if the tone was flat and slow.

Munakata Reishi——! ! !Ovidia stared at the person on the screen momentarily speechless.

"Whispering. Munakata, it's too slow." A voice preempted him from answering the other party's words.

Zongxiang frowned slightly, but said with an undiminished smile: "I'm sorry I'm not talking to you, don't you understand basic kindergarten-level etiquette like not interrupting, Zhou Fang?"

"Oh...don't mind you. Don't hold back." Zhou Fang cut off the communication after finishing speaking.

Zongxiang just bent his lips when he heard the words, and looked carefully at the gradually distorted face on the screen. He smiled lowly and said again: "Your qualifications are not bad, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Please don't give up when you are easily hit." After speaking, he nodded slightly and cut off the call directly.

... He is really an infuriating person, what's the matter with that condescending tone?When will it be the turn of a federal brigadier to tell him what to do? !

The scene in front of him was once again full of gunpowder and war. Ovidia gasped violently, his eyes were red, and he didn't wake up suddenly until the adjutant's voice sounded.The people who were flanked back and forth became them, and he was punished severely by Munakata Reiji and Zhou Fangzun, and he fell into the trap he set up himself in the end.

"Are you okay...?" The adjutant asked cautiously. The current situation can be said to be terrible, but the commander's mood is obviously much worse.

"How high is the probability of breaking through?" He shook his head and took a deep breath.

"...Less than [-]%. All our escape routes are blocked." The other party's voice trembled imperceptibly.

"... Is everything retreating?" Ovidia leaned back on the back of the chair, and suddenly stood up again, "Are you kidding me!"

"Check the condition of all the airframes and turn on the flight suspension system."

"No matter what, break through, from above!" He ordered loudly.

The mechas opened their green translucent light shields one after another, allowing all attacks to come, and with a reckless attitude, they turned into golden arrows and pierced into the sky.

"Oh——" Munakata raised his hand to push up his glasses a little, and couldn't help but admire, "You're much smarter than I imagined."

"Your Excellency..." Fushimi Saru Hiko couldn't help reminding the smiling officer, "They have already escaped."

Munakata nodded and looked at Fushimi calmly, "What's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing." Fushimi caught a glimpse of Barbara approaching from the opposite side, and found that the red-haired man who jumped off the winged lion also didn't care about it.

Ah forget it... Anyway, you people are happy.Fushimi turned his head away and stopped talking, Munakata got off the command vehicle.

"Speaking of which, do I want to tell you... a happy cooperation?" Munakata said with a teasing smile after they stood aside, Zhou Fang casually glanced at the resting team, raised his hand and lit a cigarette and smiled lowly One sound counts as an answer.

Such a scene is no surprise to everyone now, not to mention that everyone knows in their hearts that the two sides are about to truce and reconcile.From being wary of each other at the beginning to being able to shake hands and chat amicably now, Barbara and the Fourth Army made everyone feel unspeakably complicated.

But it cannot be denied that such a picture is unexpectedly reassuring.Zhou Fangzun and Munakata Reisi stood side by side chatting, Kusanagi Izumo approached and raised his hand to greet Awashima Seri, Fushimi Saruhiko taunted Misaki Hatta coolly.Although the smell of gunpowder smoke at the tip of the nose is still pungent, it also makes people yearn for a better future.

"Your Excellency." A voice suddenly came from Munakata's earphones that were not turned off. He stopped talking with Zhou Fang and listened for a moment while pressing the earphones.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Fang raised his hand to remove the half-lit cigarette from his lips, and flicked the ash.

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Zongxiang's lips, he shook his head lightly and walked towards the mecha parked at the rear.Zhou Fang stood on the spot understandingly, he watched Munakata walk to the huge mech, and then caught an extremely small sound in this noisy space.

"Drip——" is the sound buried deep in the soil.

Immediately afterwards, bright and scorching flames flashed between the cliffs, trees fell, and rocks and soil rolled down fiercely in an instant.

Zhou Fangzun raised his eyes suddenly, and his eyes glanced upwards at the withered and yellowed mountains and forests, behind which the hurried figure gradually disappeared without a trace.He threw away the cigarette in his hand and ran towards Munakata Reiji, the red bright spot of the fireworks drew a parabola and then flashed out.

"Munakata—!"

However, Zhou Fangzun's running speed after the experimental modification could not keep up with the speed of the mountain collapse, not to mention that there was still a short distance between them.Zhou Fangzun saw Zongxiang slightly raised his head to look at the overturned sand above his head, and then his figure moved slightly and disappeared behind the mecha, and he and the mecha disappeared into the landslide together.
