After all, the competition for third and fourth place was a civil war in the Empire, and although the scene was fierce, the process was very harmonious, and finally ended with the victory of the Royal Military Academy team of the Empire.

The finals were scheduled for the afternoon, but during the lunch break, Rock found the morning star.

Morningstar was really surprised when he saw Locke, the son of the current supreme leader of the Alliance, the rising star of politics who had high hopes from everyone, but his face was full of frustration at the moment.

Morningstar knew that it wasn't because Liberty College had a bad record in the mech competition, and for someone like Locke, losing the game would only make him work harder and stronger. There is only one explanation for Nalok's frustration, the Mandate of Heaven sect.

Locke's words also confirmed Morningstar's inference, and as Morningstar expected, the infiltration of the Mandate of Heaven Sect into the Alliance had reached an unimaginable level. In Locke's account, Morningstar learns that the Alliance is purging the Manifest Destiny Sect, but the resistance is unimaginably great. Aside from high-level disputes over interests, the people in the Aglan sector have developed fierce resistance to the Coalition's purge efforts, and protests such as marches have aside, as well as incidents of open clashes with Alliance forces.

Locke is tormented, his political philosophy has always been to do everything in his power for the benefit of the Alliance, and he has always done so, constantly working on this path. But now this situation is something he can't even imagine. With the confused and misled populace on one side and the stability of the coalition on the other, Locke no longer knows what to choose. So he came to Morningstar to hear Morningstar's opinion.

Morningstar's opinion was somewhat beyond Locke's expectations, and Locke could not have imagined that this seemingly harmless Morningstar had a heart of stone. Morningstar's advice to Locke is to re-execute the troubled times, and at first Locke can't understand the meaning of this sentence, but after Morningstar explains, he is shocked into a cold sweat. Morningstar's point is clear, and all those who participated in the rebellion were punished severely, either voluntarily or under duress. At such a critical juncture, if there is any more kindness of a woman, it will only make the situation more difficult to control.

Locke left, leaving Butkamp. Morningstar knew he was rushing back to the Alliance to participate in Aglen's counterinsurgency. It is said that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Locke obviously encountered such a situation. But Morningstar thought of himself while feeling sad for Locke, how much better could he be than Locke?

No matter how much external interference there is, it still can't prevent the final of the competition. On a sunny afternoon in Butkamp, the final of the Mecha Contest arrived on time.

……

In the preparation area, Morningstar confessed to his teammates about the origin of the opponent this time, and wanted to ask his teammates for advice one last time, so that they could consider their own safety issues and choose whether to play. can answer Morning Star's big white eyes and a few raised middle fingers, although they are collectively despised by this group of guys, but Morning Star is very happy, this feeling, it should be possible to trust his life with his wealth.

is still the introduction of the players on both sides, and the audience is still on the opposite side of the star killing team. Whenever Donnie, who was sitting in the commentary seat, introduced a player from the Flame Academy, the audience would respond with warm applause. On the other hand, the members of the Star Killer Team received endless boos. But this could not affect the mentality of the players on both sides, and several of the players on the court were considered to have been in battle for a long time, and they knew how important a normal heart was for the game. And the calmness of the members of the Star Killing Team is obviously different from this ordinary heart, they only show indifference, indifference to everything.

On the field, both sides chose the traditional 212 split, with two people up and down, and one person in the middle. With the familiar roar of war drums, the players on both sides rushed to the front line with their own ordinary soldiers. The first to contact was the players of the mid lane Morning Star and the Killer Star team, and as expected by Morning Star, his opponent chose to attack as soon as he saw it. Morningstar's opponent was clearly a seasoned veteran, and even if he had attracted the attention of ordinary soldiers by taking the initiative to attack Morningstar, he could still handle it with ease. Attacks from ordinary soldiers seemed to tickle to him, most of them were dodged by him, and the few that fell on the mechs had no effect on him at all.

Morningstar chose to fight and retreat, as he noticed that something was not quite right, and the mount he had chosen seemed to be useless. At the first moment when the player of the Star Killing Team launched an attack on him, Morningstar originally planned to use the payload to control the opponent and then form a suppression. This should attract the attention of the other members of the Slayer team, and then play a role in protecting the other members of the Yan Academy, but when Morningstar started the mount, the mount did not react in the slightest. In order to figure out what the reason is, Morningstar chooses to stalemate with the other party.

And this is, Chen Chao's angry roar suddenly came from the team channel: "Damn, why is my mount not working?" Damn it! Then, the other three team members made similar noises.

A moment later, a system prompt sounded, and the two team members on the road of Yanyuan were both eliminated, and then the first defense tower on the road was broken.

In the team channel, Chen Chao and Han Xinruo were extremely puzzled. Han Xinruo said: "Senior Morning Star, something is wrong, our mount is either unusable, or it has no effect, when Senior Chen Chao was being chased and killed just now, I used my deceleration control skill, and the opponent's mecha was not affected at all, and it was still walking like flying, what is going on?" ”

Chen Chao, who was also temporarily eliminated from the competition, immediately added: "Morning Star, not only that, but I feel that the power of the opponent's mecha seems to be problematic, and the movement is obviously much faster, which is obviously beyond the limit of the competition's mecha transformation, you should be careful." ”

At this moment, the Situ brothers and sisters on the lower road of Yanyuan were also eliminated, and Situ Yeqi's angry voice came out from the squad channel: "Damn! Did this group of bastards cheat, the frost shot of the night rain hit the other party as if it were fake, and the other party did not receive any impact! ”

Situ Yeyu also added: "And I feel that Chen Chao is right, the opponent's speed is obviously much faster, after so many games, I have never seen a mecha with such speed." ”

On the commentary seat, Donnie also asked a puzzled question: "Nemo! Did you notice something that wasn't quite right? ”

"Yes, it seems that the players in the Yanyuan have forgotten to use the mount." Nemo, who was sitting next to Donnie, said: "And during the battle on the road, I seemed to see what kind of mount was used by Han Xinruo from Yanyuan, but it didn't take effect, which is strange. ”

Donnie thought for a moment and continued, "That's right, and when the mid lane first came into contact, Morningstar used Thor's hammer once, and I clearly saw that energy, but the opponent didn't feel the slightest impact. Could it be said? Something is wrong with the main control system? ”

Donnie and Nemo's words did not shy away from anyone, and were directly open to everyone through the commentary channel. When the audience heard this, they immediately let out a burst of shouts, and the roars of unfairness and cheating could be clearly distinguished.

Caterina, who had already finished the game, added her guards to the viewing room specially prepared for her, and after a few words, the guards left silently.

The game in the field continued, but the players on the two wings of the Star Killer team unusually did not continue to advance and expand their advantage. Manny's voice came from the mech fighting against Morning Star, saying, "Morning Star, I'll give you one last chance, do you accept my offer?" ”

"Manny? It can't be the mecha you piloted, I don't think you have that ability! Morningstar didn't answer the other party's question, but asked rhetorically.

In the mecha, Manny's voice came out again, saying, "How could I participate in such a vulgar battle, now, I just want to ask you, do you agree?" ”

Morningstar sneered, manipulated the Itgleason Star to throw a knife flower, and said in a deep voice: "I really underestimated your ability, you can actually control the central control system of the competition, but ...... Do you think I'm someone who will be threatened? As soon as he finished speaking, the Star of Itgleeson leapt to his feet, and the long knife in his hand slashed down from top to bottom with a whistling sound.

The member of the Star Killer team reacted very quickly, and had already made evasive moves when Morning Star had just taken off. Morningstar missed, standing still looking at the mecha fighting against him, without saying a word.

Manny's voice sounded again: "Morningstar, I will definitely make you regret it, wait and see." ”

……

It didn't take long for Caterina to return to her side, but the answer she brought surprised Caterina with the answer. All the guards responsible for guarding the main control room were killed, and the main control room door was locked and could not be opened. Katerina understood why the Yanyuan team seemed so vulnerable, the main control system had been manipulated, and the Yanyuan's mount was completely invalid. And the apparently much faster speed of the Star Killer Mecha shows that the main control computer has relaxed the restriction on the five mechs of the Star Killing Team, and Morningstar and his comrades are in danger. Caterina had never been in such a hurry, and turned to ask the dark guard on the side if there was a way to destroy the main control system. The Darkguard introduced a designer involved in the design of the master control system to Katarina, and the white-haired old man of the empire explained to Caterina that the master control system operated independently and could not be destroyed from the outside. The only way to be considered control is that one of the three designers involved in the design left a backdoor in the system without the knowledge of the other two. And who this person is is already obvious, because of the three designers, only one did not show up.

Caterina still didn't get a satisfactory result after several inquiries, but looking at the field, the Star Killing Team's large-scale attack on the Yanyuan players had already begun.

In the squad channel, Morningstar informed the rest of the team that there was a problem with the main control system, and asked all the team members to abandon the mount and rely on their own skills to fight. Such a decision has relieved the tense situation for the team of the Yan Academy to a certain extent, but in the face of the mecha of the Star Killing Team that has lifted the restrictions, the players of the Yan Academy are very difficult. Things have developed to this point, it is no longer as simple as a game, and it has begun to affect the personal safety of the players in Yanyuan. Therefore, Morningstar quickly made the decision to give up the battle between the upper and lower lanes, and everyone concentrated in the middle lane, so that they could protect their players to the greatest extent.

After the Yanyuan team members gathered, the four mechs on the upper and lower roads of the Star Killing Team actually gave up the competition for these two roads, and followed the pace of the Yanyuan to the middle lane, and a big battle was about to break out.

At this moment, under the leadership of Donnie, the entire audience in the arena shouted slogans in unison, and the huge sound made it easy for several players in the venue to distinguish what they were shouting.

"The main control system is being manipulated, and the players in Yanyuan should pay attention to safety."

Morningstar heard it, and so did the rest of the Yanyuan, and even the star-killing team in the arena could hear the loud noise coming from the audience. But the five Star Killer team members, who had long lost their sense of shame, didn't care about such shouts, but instead let out a strange cry from the mecha they were driving, and then rushed towards the mecha of the Yanyuan like crazy.

……

Caterina left the viewing room, accompanied by a group of dark guards, and went to the main control room of the game, trying various methods to break through the door, but to no avail. Caterina was in a hurry and wanted to use violence to destroy the main control room, but instead she received a video call from the designer in the main control room.

The gray-haired old man burst into tears in the video, blaming himself for being sorry for the trust of the empire and his professional ethics. But the old man said that he had nothing to do, his son had died, and his only grandson was controlled by the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and if he didn't do what they asked, his grandson would die.

Caterina tries to dissuade the old man, but the old man refuses. The old man conveyed an even more terrible news to Caterina, that is, a large number of bombs had been planted at the bottom of the arena, and once the Star Killer team lost to Morning Star and the others, these bombs would be activated, and they would die with Morning Star, and at the same time, the 100,000 spectators on the field would also be buried.

The old man committed suicide and burst his head with a pistol. Perhaps the old man knew that even if he did what the Heavenly Mandate Sect had requested, his grandson would not be able to return to him safely. The old man chose to end his life under intense pressure on both sides, but before he died, he informed Caterina of the person who had the bomb activators. That's right, it's Manny, the head of the operation, a fanatical Manifest Destiny believer, an unscrupulous bastard who will stop at nothing to get there.

Caterina is very important, and although he wants to solve Morningstar's current predicament, the safety of 100,000 lives is obviously more important. With tears in his heart, he silently prayed for the players of the Morning Star Flame Academy, but at this time he saw an acquaintance, Xie Shiqi.

Xie Shiqi took the initiative to find Katarina, and the first thing she said when she met was: "Morning Star arranged for me to come over to help you, if you need it." ”

Caterina didn't know how Morning Star managed to arrange Xie Shiqi to help during the game, Xie Shiqi explained that this was planned by Morning Star before the game, and once there was any abnormal situation on the field, Xie Shiqi would come to Caterina as soon as possible.

Morning Star has mentioned Xie Shiqi in front of Caterina countless times, and Caterina has also seen the scene of Morning Star and Xie Shiqi discussing together, for this young man who is highly respected by Morning Star, Caterina also recognizes Morning Star's evaluation of Xie Shiqi, and his wisdom is close to demons. Time was pressing, Caterina briefly told Xie Shiqi about the situation, but Xie Shiqi just smiled lightly and did not answer, after Caterina finished telling everything, Xie Shiqi asked lightly: "Give me your men, okay?" ”

For this brother of Morning Star, Caterina was surprisingly trusting, and after Xie Shiqi made a request, Caterina handed over the command of her subordinates to Xie Shiqi. This demonic man calmly divided Caterina's men into four groups, one group was responsible for monitoring Manny's residence and cutting off his external connection, and only besieged him. The second group is responsible for evacuating the spectators from the arena as quickly as possible. The three groups tried to find the bomb, and they did their best without forcibly defusing it. The fourth group continued to find a way to break through the perimeter protection of the main control room. At the same time, Xie Shiqi arranged for the two to find Andrea of Shengxilan, the starry sky spirit who always called Morning Star as her brother-in-law. This girl's special ability, Morning Star, once mentioned to Xie Shiqi that if you want to notify the morning star in the field, Andrea will be the best choice, and her special ability should be able to communicate with the morning star in the field. The day before, when Manny found Morning Star to threaten him, Morning Star had already implanted a miniature positioning device under Manny's skin when shaking hands with him. At the same time, Xie Shiqi asked Katerina to use her power to put the garrison in Butkamp into a state of emergency, and to guard against the Mandate of Heaven Sect and other arrangements. And the Eye of the Goddess, which is located in the orbit of the Butkamp satellite, has already begun to scan the planets around Butkamp under the arrangement of the morning star to eliminate hidden dangers.

Caterina looked at Xie Shiqi in surprise, the other party showed calmness, calmness, and unhurriedness, very general-minded, and a leader like Morning Star, but they were just people of her own age, Caterina vaguely had a sense of crisis.

Outside the arena, under the leadership of Caterina and Xie Shiqi, a battle to destroy the conspiracy of the Heavenly Mandate Sect is gradually unfolding, and inside the arena, the five players of the Yan Academy have encountered the biggest crisis in their young lives, and the offensive of killing stars is in full swing, and the limited contact mecha has brought a huge advantage to these guys who are already not afraid of death, and life and death are already a thought.
