Mecha and Knife

Tian Qi, who became a second-level mecha fighter of the Federation a year ago and obtained the right to drive a regular-level standard mecha, is still a second-level mecha fighter to this day.

During this year, he participated in dozens of battles, large and small, but only won four gold stars.

Compared with his original dream, this is nothing like cloud and mud.

Before becoming a mecha warrior, he longed to become a mecha warrior, dreaming of being like Su Chuanyun, winning gold stars one after another in the battle with the imperial mechas.

With ten gold stars, he will be able to become a first-class mecha fighter. With twenty gold stars, he can become a super mech warrior.

Then, he will apply to join the independent regiment. With the strength of a super mecha fighter, the independent regiment should accept him, right?

If it still doesn't work, then I will continue to pick stars, and when the 100 gold stars I get accumulate into one red star, I can become an ace mecha fighter, an ace mecha fighter like Su Chuanyun.

At that time, the independent group had no reason to reject themselves, right?

Tian Qi's dream is actually not high, because he did not regard Ji Xinghe as his goal, nor did he regard Li Yuanba, Luo Weiqi, Kai Dilin, and Han Li as his goals.

At that time, Kai Dilin hadn't sacrificed yet, and Su Chuanyun hadn't just lay down and picked off one red star after another.

This dream is really not high. It is also the dream of the vast majority of mecha fighters in the Federation, and those soldiers who dream of becoming mecha fighters have dreams, not high ones.

But as time passed day by day, Tian Qi participated in more and more battles, and Tian Qi finally realized a fact: his dream of targeting Su Chuanyun was not a dream, but a fantasy!

At that time, Su Chuanyun still did not lie down and pick off one red star after another.

Although the record is more amazing than other ace mecha fighters of the Federation, in people's eyes, it is only because Su Chuanyun is in the independent regiment, and it is only because Su Chuanyun has the God's Punishment Armor.

Switching to other ace mecha fighters whose mechas are not as good as the God's Punishment Armor, they can do Su Chuanyun's level, even better than him.

But Tian Qi still recognized the fact.

Because he participated in dozens of battles and faced hundreds of imperial mechs, but only got three gold stars.

After Su Chuanyun became a Mecha Warrior, how long did it take him to get ten gold stars and become a first-class Federation Mecha Warrior?

three months!

What kind of mecha did he drive in the process of going from a second-level mech fighter to a first-class mech fighter?

Regular standard mecha!

Is it because Su Chuanyun participated in more battles than himself during those three months?

No.

With the rise of Su Chuanyun in the Xinghe team and the independent team, his story began to be praised by people.

Three months, eleven battles, ten gold stars. It is not an exaggeration to say that on average, one gold star can be obtained in each battle.

Is it because the imperial mecha that Su Chuanyun was facing was weaker than the imperial mecha he was facing?

No.

When Su Chuanyun became a mecha warrior and officially participated in the war, the Federation could only passively defend on the alien planet, and it could almost be said that it was completely incapable of launching an active attack.

And when he became a mecha warrior and participated in the war, the imperial forces in Battle Scar Canyon were suppressed by the Federation and could not lift their heads, and the imperial forces in the Mountain of Gods were equivalent to being surrounded by the Federation.

There are countless battles to seize the opportunity to focus on the offensive when you have an advantage.

Most of the battles Tian Qi participated in were like this.

But he just can't get more gold stars, because the empire is at a disadvantage, it doesn't mean that the combat power of the empire's mechs is at a disadvantage.

Even with the blessing of neural link technology, the average combat power of the federal mecha fighters is barely equal to the average combat power of the imperial mecha fighters.

In an evenly matched battle, victory or defeat and life and death are only a matter of thought.

One thought of heaven, one thought of hell, and one thought of the world.

How can it be so easy to keep sending the imperial gorilla to hell? How could it be so easy to stay in the world and continue fighting?

The dream failed to reflect into reality and turned into a fantasy, which dealt a great blow to Tian Qi.

At one point, a psychiatrist was needed.

This is not new in Alien Star. Most of the more than one million people in the Federation currently in Alien Star need a psychiatrist, and even some psychiatrists need to find a psychiatrist to sort out emotions and adjust after listening to too much pressure. state of mind.

The hostile environment of the alien planet, the pressure brought by the war, the great terror between life and death...

How many people can have a will like steel?

Tian Qi is lucky, his psychotherapy effect is not bad, so he can continue to participate in the battle, continue to move forward with unrealistic fantasies with staggering steps.

"Tian Qi!"

The roaring sound made Tian Qi, who was a little distracted on the battlefield, suddenly come back to his senses.

Focusing his eyes, he saw the Imperial Mecha in front of him, and also saw the weapon that the Imperial Mecha pierced into the chest of the Mecha he was driving.

It turned out that I was going to die.

It turns out that the flow of time before death really slows down.

It turned out that I had no chance to turn my fantasy into my dream after all.

"Tian Qi!"

The roaring sound came again, which surprised Tian Qi that he was not dead yet, and also allowed him to see more pictures.

The imperial mecha, which was about to kill him, had a weapon inserted on the right side of the machine, and it was pulling away at an extremely fast, but seemingly very slow speed.

On the weapon, there is blood that is rapidly drying up.

It was his captain who broke the imperial mecha at the most critical moment, making the imperial mecha lose its ability to continue attacking.

I don't have to die?

I survived?

Just as the emotion of surprise was born in his mind, the voice of cursing rang out from his ears.

"Are you fucking dead or not? If you die, get away from me and die. If you're not dead, let me continue to beat you!"

Captain has such a bad temper.

"Not dead, I'm not dead."

Tian Qi yelled in a trembling voice, controlled the mecha and grabbed the imperial mech's stabbing gun, pulled it straight ahead and backed away.

The tip of the stabbing gun was separated from the body, and the damaged part of the mech's chest exposed the shell of the cockpit.

He almost died.

"Captain, I'm not dead, I can fight!"

Tian Qi's roar released all the emotions in his heart that shouldn't appear at this time.

"Then what the hell are you doing standing there?"

When Tian Qi's captain continued to curse, he turned around and rushed towards the two imperial mechs.

Strictly speaking, it should be facing two imperial mechs that charged at the same time almost side by side, so it is unprepared versus prepared, one enemy is more than one.

The captain who had just defeated an imperial mecha and got the fifteenth gold star, seemed to have failed to predict success, and seemed to have lost his physical strength, unable to block or evade the attacks of these two imperial mechas.

Two spears pierced into the captain's mech at the same time.

Seeing this scene, Tian Qi, who just came back to his senses and was about to continue fighting, seemed to be frightened stupidly, and even stood there dumbfounded.

"Tian Qi, kill them, you will replace me as captain."

The captain who had been swearing all the time, his voice became weak at this time, as if he had lost all energy.

Tian Qi?

Captain is calling me?

The captain asked me to destroy these two imperial mechs?

The captain still wants to be the captain?

I only had three gold stars before joining the battle today, but now I only have four gold stars, what qualifications do I have to be the captain?

Tian Qi, who was standing still, suddenly saw a scene that seemed to be frozen.

The captain who was stabbed into the machine by two spears at the same time threw away his weapon and grabbed the two spears with both hands.

He gripped tightly because he was dead, and the last command he gave to his mecha was to hold his hands tightly.

There were no new operating instructions, so his mech clenched his hands tightly.

The captain is dead?

Die like this?

"Me! Grass! You! Yours! Big! Blood! Mom! Ah!"

Amidst the furious roar of each word, Tian Qi launched a charge.

When the mecha sword in his hand slashed out, an imperial mecha was still trying to regain its weapon, so that the captain's mecha was dragged as if it came to life.

But he couldn't live anymore.

In the frantic slashing, Tian Qi completed a breakthrough and got his fifth gold star.

Tian Qi's fighting consciousness finally recovered. After he took advantage of the situation and smashed an imperial mecha, he began to chop more crazily and effectively in the face of the second imperial mecha that had chosen to discard its weapons.

The imperial mecha, which had lost its weapon, could not stop it at all, so Tian Qi got his sixth gold star.

Looking back, the captain's mecha still didn't fall down. It was supported by two spears, standing like a flag on the land of the alien star, standing in the battlefield.

team leader……

It was too late to generate more emotions, Tian Qi was pulled back to reality by the voice in his ear.

"Tian Qi, give me an order."

"You're fucking dumb."

"Where are you going?"

Only the voices of three people made Tian Qi finally see the situation around him clearly.

The battlefield they are on is the independent regiment trapped in the formation as the main battlefield, but apart from the independent regiment trapped in the formation and the anti-galactic corps that the independent regiment needs to deal with, the Federation and the Empire have each invested more than 3,000 regular-level standard mechas.

Because of the ultra-high mobility of the mechas, the Imperial Mecha Corps charged wildly beyond the Mountain of the Gods. More than 6,000 mechas turned an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers into a battlefield.

During the charge, Tian Qi's mecha squad received an order to cooperate with another mecha squad to annihilate an imperial mecha squad.

Now, they and another mecha squad successfully completed the combat goal of annihilation, with a total of thirty fighters destroyed.

But another mecha squad composed of sixteen mecha fighters had been completely annihilated, and only four of them, including him, were left in the mecha squad composed of fifteen people.

Tian Qi also understood at this moment why his captain wanted him to take over as the captain.

After defeating the two imperial mechs, Tian Qi, who had six gold stars, became the one with the most gold stars among the four.

The other three have the number of Venus: three, one, and zero.

The mecha fighter who didn't get the gold star is a new recruit to join this team. Unlike the mecha squad formed with the super mecha fighter as the captain, Tian Qi's mecha squad is just a regular team under the normal mecha corps. The bar is low.

Tian Qi looked at his captain and recalled what he should do at this time.

"Report the status of their respective mechs."

The three mech fighters that were converging towards Tian Qi's location made their voices separately.

"Energy 27%, body damage 9%."

"Energy 31%, body damage 11%."

"Energy 42%, the body is intact."

The tone of the third voice was obviously guilty. He didn't have a single gold star, not only survived such a battle, but his body was still intact, and he didn't know what kind of story he had experienced.

Tian Qi was a little desperate.

There are only four of them left, and the total number of Venus does not exceed ten. The energy is insufficient, and the body is seriously damaged.

how to spell?

Or, how to die?

Tian Qi, who once had Su Chuanyun as his dream goal, suddenly thought of Ji Xinghe, whom he didn't even dare to think of as his fantasy goal.

"Follow me, I will be disabled, you will break."

That is a famous saying of Ji Xinghe that has been widely spread, and it is one of the reasons why so many people follow Ji Xinghe to fight.

Looking at the captain still standing there, as if looking at his own captain.

Sorry, I'm not Ji Xinghe. Sorry, I'm not Su Chuanyun either. Sorry, I am nothing.

I'm a piece of shit!

What kind of emotions will be born when the guilt reaches the extreme?

Anger, impotent rage, and impotent rage to the extreme, what kind of emotions will it produce?

Tian Qi's emotions did not collapse because of this, but he had unprecedented courage.

Yes, I can't be like Ji Xinghe, nor can I become the second Su Chuanyun.

However, I can fight like the captain!

Tian Qi finally gave the order.

"Follow me, I hold back, you break."

Tian Qi began to control the mecha and began to charge towards another battlefield.

"yes!"

When the roar-like response sounded, the three Federation mechas followed closely behind and began to charge.

When approaching the battlefield, Tian Qi determined his target, and also determined the target of the mech squad with only four people left.

After he told his teammates, he said calmly: "After I die, Gustav, you will be the captain!"

"yes!"

Gustav, who had three gold stars, accepted the order without any hesitation, and then repeated the order Tian Qi had just said.

"After I become the captain, follow me closely, I hold back, and you break through."

The four federal mechas that rushed into the battlefield targeted the three imperial mechas and launched a desperate attack.

The front protective armor of Tian Qi's mecha has been damaged, and the exposed outer bulkhead of the cockpit is full of temptation for the imperial mecha.

So, as he said just now, like his captain did just now, he successfully held back two of the imperial mechas, creating opportunities for his teammates to destroy three imperial mechas.

Tian Qi sacrificed.

He laughed when he sacrificed, and his last thought was - captain, we earned it.

Gustav, who got the fifth gold star, became the new captain. Just as he promised Tian Qi just now, he led the team to charge again.

Then, Gustav died.

Borant, who got the third gold star, became the twelfth captain of the team after its establishment.

He said.

"Xin Bing, right? Follow me closely, I will try my best to hold down an imperial mecha before I die, you... you must get a gold star, otherwise how can you be the captain?"

Xin Bing, who still has zero gold stars, never thought that the first official battle he participated in would give him a chance to become the captain.

He doesn't want to be such a captain, and he doesn't want to be this captain either.

But after Bolante finished speaking, he had already launched a charge, and Xin Bing's body manipulated the mech uncontrollably to follow closely.

It seems to be eager to get the first gold star in life, and it seems to be eager to become the captain.

Borant sacrificed, and before he could fulfill his promise to Xin Bing, he was hit by an imperial shell on the way to charge.

The already broken mech failed to help him resist the damage this time.

Xin Bing looked at the sight, and the green light spot representing Bolante turned red, just like everyone in the team he joined, except him.

Uncontrollably controlling the mech to start accelerating.

Bolante's last words came to mind, and he said to Bolante in his heart: "I don't have a single gold star, I can't be the captain."

He said to Gustav in his heart: "I don't have any teammates anymore. Even if I dragged down an imperial mecha without fear of death, no one can break it."

He said to Tian Qi in his heart: "You are so much better than me, you should have let me die just now."

He said to his captain in his heart: "If I don't charge now, you will regret agreeing to join your team at that time. If you are still alive, you will drive me away, even if I just dare not charge instead of trying to escape..."

He said a lot to a lot of people in his heart, and then fell silent.

He looked at the federal mechas that were being besieged by the imperial mechas in the distance, and suddenly gritted his teeth and began to charge faster.

he growled.

"I am the Thirty-seventh Mecha Mixed Legion of the Federation. Xin Bing, the captain of the 603rd Team, has been ordered to lead the team to the designated location. The 603rd Team should have sixteen people, and there is only one person! I apply... we Team 603! Apply to join the battle!"

Before the response sounded, Xin Bing had already rushed towards the imperial mecha.

He continued to growl.

"I hold it, you break it."

I don't know if he is talking to his teammates who have died, or to him coming alone to support the federal mecha squad.

Maybe, all of them.

Xin Bing's fighting strength did not explode because of his courage. He failed to get a single gold star, but the cockpit was smashed by the imperial mech within thirteen seconds after joining the battlefield.

And the mech squad he was in was wiped out with the sacrifice of his thirteenth captain.

dying.

He heard a strange yet familiar voice.

"In the name of Galaxy!"

"Invincible!"

Ji Xinghe, is he here?

Xin Bing's ears sounded eager inquiries.

"Brother, are you still alive? Can you still be rescued?"

Xin Bing really wanted to respond, but he was unable to respond, when his consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

He heard a more urgent voice, as if he was afraid that he would not hear.

"They're out, they're out by us. The old man won, we've won, we've won all over the line. Brother, do you see that? Can you hear? Hey? Hey! Hey..."

Xin Bing laughed, but his face had begun to stiffen, and he could no longer show his young and bright smile.

He can only tell the last words in his heart that no one will ever hear.

"Did you see it? We won!"

"Sorry, I still haven't been able to get even one gold star."

"But I didn't stop charging, I, like you, didn't stop charging..."

"The Thirty-seventh Mecha Mixed Legion of the Federation, Squad 603, charge!"
