Volume 2 Mecha Battle Chapter 129 A Letter from Far Away
The news from Quinn was a video that was delivered to Morningstar by Tina herself.
After Tina gave the video to Morningstar, she rushed back to the Goddess's Eye without stopping, and also took Catherine with her, which was Quinn's arrangement. Leaving Elle alone in the Goddess's Eye worries Tina, and when Quinn says she needs a trustworthy person to deliver news to Morningstar, Catherine is the obvious choice.
Tina also specifically instructed Morning Star not to be seen by those girls, this video is too bloody.
As soon as he received this video, Morningstar found a room with no one and watched it alone. The video seems to have been shot by the expedition team, and the picture is not very clear, and there is often shaky images due to interference. This team seems to have set foot on a barren planet that no one has ever reached, but the surface of the planet can be seen everywhere a pale yellow mineral deposit that is very similar to the energy crystal, Morning Star knows that this color crystal deposit is a special existence that has been made into an energy-rich crystal by humans, although this crystal cannot be used to provide energy for space ships, but it can be used for civilian use, and the energy released is three to four times higher than the high-purity energy crystal of the same volume, but it can only continue to output steadily, Unable to provide the kind of explosive demand that ships need.
The expedition team in the video is clearly excited about the discovery of this mineral deposit, which is a great asset that will allow them to spend the rest of their lives in peace. But just when they were happy, one of them shouted to retreat, and then the photographer's head twisted, and Morning Star saw a scene that he himself felt trembling several times.
On a high mountain not far away, there was already a dense crowd of insects, these insects were different from what Morning Star knew, they had more spiky fangs on their bodies, and the whole insect appeared more violent. In front of the Alien Insect Force, a vanguard of humans has begun to charge. Morningstar could clearly see the characteristics of this human force, as the additional proliferation tissue that had grown from the body was the same as the infected on Haven in the first place.
"Dead Plague!"
Morningstar couldn't help but exclaim, on Haven Star, Morningstar can be very sure that the mutant human named Gondor has been killed by Quinn, and Morningstar has also killed Cayula, and now that he sees the death plague virus again, Morningstar has no opinion for a while.
What's going on, is Gondor not dead or Cayula not dead? Or is it that the judgment between himself and Quinn has been wrong all along, that Gondor is just a carrier and source of infection of the virus, and that the person who really knows the virus has always been behind the scenes and has never shown his face?
The video continues, the scene is indeed bloody, this video should be from the combat recorder on someone's helmet, between the flickering of the screen, the morning star can clearly see the flying flesh and blood, broken limbs, the irrational killing scene is really unacceptable. Morning Star is not a good person, but his hands are stained with blood, but Morning Star never tortures and kills opponents, as long as he moves to kill, Morning Star will definitely go all out and kill the opponent with the most direct means. But these insects are obviously influenced by someone's thoughts, they are no longer simply killing, but obviously enjoying the process of torturing and killing opponents, a living person, being torn under the spikes of their fangs, and watching their bitten hands and feet being eaten by several insects in pain and wailing, this scene is a little difficult for even Morning Star to accept.
Punched the table beside him hard, and a huge gap appeared under the unrestrained force of Morningstar.
The video continues, and the person who shot the video is apparently dead from exhaustion, and Morningstar doesn't even know if he still has the whole body. The helmet that fell to the ground rolled under a mech that had been dismantled to pieces, and the aftermath was captured in the gap between the leakage of the mech's broken parts.
Morningstar saw the apparently human figure emerge from the crowd of bugs, and the mutated humans and bugs around him showed unusual obedience. The image of this man is very similar to that of Quinn when he released his form, but the bone spurs on his back are thicker than Quinn's, and his body is more burly. After inspecting the battlefield and finding that there were no survivors, the man made a strange gesture, and then a huge insect flew out of the sky, a few points larger than the eyes of a goddess.
The last part of the influence is that the man stepped on the top of a huge flying dragon's head, and slowly flew towards the huge alien worm in the air, and behind him, countless alien insects and mutant humans of all kinds entered the king worm that was very similar to the balloon, and slowly flew down the huge alien worm in the air.
Morningstar felt his clothes soaked with cold sweat. Such a powerful military force is estimated to be tens of thousands. And the man who is the leader looks like Quinn's combat power. And the style of this unit is obviously not good. In other words, this is the enemy, as Quinn once said, the other inheritors of the destiny who have been transformed by high-level insects.
After the influence, there is a self-description of Quinn. Quinn's view is in line with Morningstar's, believing that this man's identity is that of the Providential Bearer. And the release form that is consistent with Quinn makes Quinn very incomprehensible. Quinn asked Abbather about this question as soon as he got this video, and Abbather also said that he was not very clear, because in Abbathhar's impression, all the known high-level aliens with useful intelligence were the only ones who had the technology to self-select the direction of genetic mutation. And the appearance of this man made Abbather doubt his own judgment.
The reason Quinn was able to get this video was because ItGleason received a very clear distress signal, which was not very far from Itgleason, and after discussion and research, Quinn led a small force to the scene of the incident. This unit is the mechanized Alien unit unique to Itgleson. The so-called mechanization does not completely change the body structure of the insect, but uses the powerful physical fitness of the insect with the external armor and firepower of humans. This force has become the most powerful force on the Eit Gleason today, and is temporarily under the management of Abbather. When the troops arrived at the scene of the incident, they saw an indescribably tragic scene, like the Shura field, full of stumps and broken arms.
After a carpet search of the site of the incident, the troops found the camera that was still in good condition, and then had the image that Morning Star saw.
Quinn was extremely wary of such an army of insects, and no one knew them better than her. The scale of tens of thousands is already terrifying enough, but those alien insects have obviously evolved, and they are far more ferocious than ordinary alien insects, and the combat effectiveness of such a force is even more unimaginably powerful. In addition to this, Quinn also had doubts about the purpose of this force. If the traditional Alien Insect Force clashed with other races, it was mostly to grab the resources necessary for survival, or someone stood in their way to find resources. And this strange force that appeared on this barren planet full of energy crystals was obviously not for these crystals.
There was no sign of the Energy Crystals being collected everywhere, and Quinn was able to make sense that the force had been completely evacuated. Neither gathering nor leaving troops to defend them, then their purpose is clearly not crystals. There are only two possibilities left, one is that this force is carrying something that will interest the swarm troops, and the other is a simple desire to kill. The former, while also deadly, is an acceptable reason. But once this force exists purely for the sake of killing, it is nothing short of a nightmare.
For Quinn's worries, Morningstar also empathizes. Morningstar has seen the power of the alien insect army, and on Haven Star, the scene of those alien insects who have lost the control of the artifact killing each other still makes Morningstar unforgettable. But now Morningstar, even if he is in a hurry, has no way to do it. One is that this unit cannot be tracked, Quinn once told him that the name of the alien insect's space battleship is Leviathan, which is a strange insect with strong physical strength that can resist the vacuum environment, and this class of troops is difficult to identify by all the means of human beings at the moment except for judging with the naked eye. To forcibly track down an "invisible" force, no result is already the best result, if it is ambushed by the other side, it is even more difficult to accept.
Morningstar sat in the room for a long time, and even thought of quitting the race and returning to Itgleason. But Quinn's final instructions made Morningstar understand his main responsibilities now. Quinn told Morningstar that the biggest weakness of the current Itgleason is the lack of manpower, and despite the two population supports of Weststock, it still cannot solve the problem of population shortage. After Morningstar's departure, the Republic opened up Itgleeson's immigration to some people through Layton's connections. But it also struggled to solve Itgleason's demographic crisis. The low population base has led to a shortage of talent on ItGleason.
For ItGleeson, this talent shortage has made it impossible to carry out many important aspects of the work, and this kind of work is not something that can be filled by anyone, and most of them need to be immersed in ten or twenty years to be competent. The most obvious is the combat commander of the troops. The personnel assistance from the Imperial Führer Vystock was not perfect, and most of them were excellent soldiers who could charge at their orders and did not care about life or death, but there were few commanders who could strategize. In addition, the structure of the troops on Itgleeson has been completely different from that of today's humans, and with the high-tech support of Pusenchus, Itgleeson's troops have been compressed at all levels, resulting in a large number of squad commander vacancies.
And the environment where Morningstar is now located, where a large number of such talents are officially produced, the vast majority of students after graduating from military academies will be arranged to experience in troops at all levels, so even if they follow the normal process, most of the students around Morningstar will first serve as the captain of the combat team, and then lead more people to become commanders. It's Gleeson's army just the right thing to do for these people, and the only thing that is hard to say is whether Itgleason is attractive enough for them to join.
Morning Star finally walked out of the room, and Qin Qing had been waiting outside the door for a long time, because she sensed that Morning Star had something on her mind.
Under Qin Qing's constant questioning, Morning Star told Qin Qing the truth, which was a bit beyond her cognition. Morning Star can understand that Qin Qing, like the vast majority of human beings, although he knows that there are other civilized creatures in the starry sky, he still lives with the mentality of human supremacy. Because of the experience of expansion over the past thousand years, many people in the human race mistakenly believe that human beings are the strongest race under the stars.
When Morningstar returned to the training ground, he was surprised to find that the tournament staff had delivered the load-ups to the Morningstar team, and all the team members were getting used to the new gadgets. These mounts are completely ineffective when there is no central control computer control, and the staff sent these things to let everyone be familiar with the use of the mount. But with these mounts comes another piece of news that catches Morningstar's attention.
The choice of mounts is public, and among the more than 100 mounts, one or two mechs are selected in order to use the type of mount, and they cannot be repeated. When Morningstar first heard this regulation, he instinctively thought of a start when he had seen Lin Tong's game, in Lin Tong's professional language, it was called BAN and Xuan, Morning Star was very interesting about this way of calculating each other before the battle, so he was able to capture this information for the first time at this time, how lucky he was, he had Xie Shiqi with a super IQ and experienced Lin Tong on his side.
……
The first day back at Butkamp passed quickly, and the night was unusually quiet. But the voices of the bickering are indeed getting louder, and the Empire is well-prepared and imperative for the reform of the mech competition, but the voices of opposition are becoming louder. And the reason why more and more people are opposing it is also starting to move closer to worrying about the excitement of the game. Morning Star had a faint premonition that this controversy was about to be concluded.
……
As Morning Star had a hunch, the reformers of the empire were keenly aware of the shift in public opinion, and the excitement of the competition itself was simply the easiest problem to solve compared to the other two. On the third day of Morningstar's return to Butkamp, the Morningstar team of the Flame Academy received an official invitation to play an exhibition match against the Royal Military Academy team on a new arena, along with a notification that Morningstar could also participate in the match. Although the ban has not been lifted yet, the scope of the ban is only for the main event of the mecha competition, and does not cover this kind of exhibition match. Morningstar was also very happy, this kind of opportunity to experience the new playing field first, so he began to prepare.
But just when Morning Star was full of energy and wanted to present a wonderful game for the audience, another discordant voice sounded. It is understandable to invite the Imperial Royal Military Academy team to participate in the exhibition match, but the invitation of another team to Yanyuan made many participating teams very unhappy, no one knows the fool, they all feel the imperative of reform, and they all cherish the opportunity of this exhibition match. However, the Empire, which has always been tough, did not pay much attention to this voice, and simply posted a message on the official forum of the competition, explaining that the reason for inviting the Morning Star team was because of the excellent results of the Yan Academy in the previous competitions, so it was decided to choose the Yan Academy and the Imperial Royal Military Academy as opponents for this exhibition match. The original discordant voice had subsided because of the news of the empire, but the other two teams of the Yanyuan started infighting, and publicly expressed their disagreement with the unilateral decision of the organizing committee of the competition to choose the Morning Star team, because there was another team led by Fan Shutao in the Yanyuan Academy, which was already a training team of newcomers.
As soon as this news came out, everyone's attention was directly shifted to the three teams of Yanyuan, if the team that participated in the training was disqualified because it did not appear in the group stage, but the team led by Fan Shutao just thought that they appeared in the second place in Group G, and they did have the right to compete with the Morning Star team for this place.
Qin Qing was really furious when she learned of this situation, and called the leaders of Fan Shutao's team and the training team together and had a big fight. But from the words of the two team leaders, she got a news that made her even more angry, the two team leaders had been hollowed out, and no one listened to what they said in the team. And the person who took the lead in competing for a place with the Morning Star team was none other than Fan Shutao, the one who had always looked down on each other with Morning Star.
What kind of strength Fan Shutao's team is, Qin Qing couldn't be clearer. As a teacher in the Flame Academy, although she has an extra preference for Morning Star, she never stops paying attention to the other two teams. Let's not talk about the training team, because the strength is not very good, and only won three games in the entire group stage. The group where Fan Shutao's team is located, in Qin Qing's opinion, belongs to the kind of group that is easy to give birth to dark horses, because the strength of all the teams in Group G is very average, and it is very average. But in such a group, Fan Shutao's team lost two games and only finished second in the group, which is really not good-looking. With the idea that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Qin Qing approached Fan Shutao, hoping that he would not get in the way again, but the result was rejected by Fan Shutao, and the reason for the refusal seemed to be so impeccable - his team and the Morning Star team were two equal invited teams, if it was a main competition, the strong Morning Star team would naturally have the right to be selected first, but an exhibition match, the glory of Yu Yanyuan or anything would have no effect, so this time we must compete with the Morning Star team.
Qin Qing was choked with anger, but Chenxing made her relax, no matter how much Fan Shutao fought, it was absolutely impossible for him to be his opponent.
Morningstar's prediction came true again, and just as Fan Shutao was constantly looking for supporters for his reasons like a clown, a speech from Vistock completely dumbfounded him. The speech took place in an interview with the Empire's largest news media, and although it was only a passing touch, it was still huge.
This is what Vistock said: I like the young man Morning Star, I have been enemies of his father since I was young, and I know very well what a good family heritage is, as evidenced by the rebellion in Warrensburg. Also, my daughter really wants to compete with Morning Star on the field, and I've heard that their teams are split into two halves, which is likely to leave the two teams out of the picture, so I'd love to see these two great youngsters face off in an exhibition match.
