After sneaking for more than 200 nautical miles at the bottom of the sea, I was forced to drive the mech into the shallows until the fuel tank was completely damaged.

I don't know exactly what the area is now, but the mech flipped over on the spot and hit the beach a few times before stopping, and I almost threw up. Everything around me was unknown, but I couldn't think of going ashore at this time, and I didn't want to be a flying Dutchman.

I rummaged through the cockpit, and finally found a 9mm automatic pistol from the glove cabinet under the driver's seat, which is a standard self-defense weapon for mechs, the overall size is compact, and the feel is excellent, but unfortunately the ammunition capacity is only seven rounds, and it is basically a weak chicken in battle.

"Squeak"

I opened the hatch and I jumped out of the hatch with a pistol and a rescue kit. I started the reverse gear in advance, and the propeller of [Seawolf III] hit the reverse mode, and fell directly back into the sea, and was quickly submerged by the raging seawater, but it's a pity, it's a pity, this is a good mecha, it's just a waste of me, if Brother Steel sees it, he will kill me.

I quickly ducked into the reef pile with my pistol, but it was still dark all around, and the water rushed up in waves, and my lower body was soaked in the water. The water was so cold at night that within ten minutes I felt that my lower body was so cold that I couldn't stand it anymore and had to stand up and prepare to run to the shore.

The Mecha Soldier's special combat suit has the function of keeping warm, but it is only an emergency, and it does not last long, so I must find a suitable hiding place before freezing to death, and the most important thing is to get food to replenish energy.

Fortunately, I had only run for about a kilometer before I saw the lights of the settlement, which gave me great hope, and I immediately sped up and ran in that direction, and soon a small village of about a hundred households appeared in my field of vision, like most villages in the south, covered with low brick houses, which looked miserable, but there was a luxurious manor erected in the middle of these small houses, which stood out in the eye.

I took off my obstructive combat uniform as quickly as I could, and pulled out a bundle of normal clothes from my emergency kit. In addition to medicines, compasses, lighters, knives, fishing lines and other miscellaneous things, there are even civilian clothes for camouflage, which can be changed at any time depending on the season, which is also a rare and meticulous place for the logistics department of the Directory Army, which has always been rough.

It's just that the taste of these quartermasters is really bad, and the clothes and objects purchased are full of rustic flavor, all of which are styles that have been eliminated for I don't know how many years, such as the jeans and yellow and white plaid shirt in my hand now, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a broken thing for fifty yuan a piece on the stall, but at this time I can't care too much, I hurriedly put on my clothes, put the pistol into my waist, take a deep breath, and strode towards the manor.

The gate of the manor was dimly lit, and the outline of the gate was dimly reflected, and I rang the doorbell twice vigorously, and the hard iron gate of the manor opened a small window, and a pair of suspicious and wary eyes fixed on me.

"Who are you, what are you doing so late?"

I quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, a wandering foreigner passing by, I missed the accommodation on the way, and I want to stay in Guizhuang for a while, and I will pay the accommodation tomorrow."

As a result, the owner of those eyes coldly threw out two words.

"Fuck off."

It was a bit hurtful, and my temper suddenly came up, and I snorted straight back.

"That's the best, I'll just lie here for the night, and remember to drag me away when I freeze to death."

The eyes widened, and I thought he was going to be furious, but the guy "snapped" shut the small door, and there was a clatter of radio communication inside, and in about five minutes, the iron door creaked open, revealing an old face full of wrinkles.

"Alright, our lord told you to get in."

Of course, the scale of the interior of the manor is far less than the grandeur of the Blonna family, and it can even be said to be a little small, but it is a little less flashy and dazzling of modern technology, and a little more classical elegance, I didn't see many people along the way, but the machine gun muzzle hidden in the middle of the ornamental trees always reminds me that this is not a place to make a casual mistake.

The porter who led the way was an old man with a face as if I owed him a hundred dollars, and he led me to the hall with a dark face, and a tall, burly old man standing in front of me, with the Old Kingdom era "tulip" badge on his left hand and a finely painted portrait on his right, which, with my little knowledge of history, I could only barely tell that it was some late Old Kingdom king. Although it was not yet a very cold season, this guy had already covered his legs with a thick animal skin blanket, and was lying on a chaise longue a little decadently, like a half-dead man who was about to die.

But this guy's eyes are quite terrifying, I have never seen such a sharp, such a cold look, it is like an ice pick, even if it is a fierce god like Bangbang, there has never been such a look.

"You're the kid who just pretended to be dead at my doorstep, and the dog's guts are really big enough, and no one dares to go wild in my house for a long time." The old man said coldly.

What this means is that you are very awesome and very powerful.

I shrugged, pulled out the empty pocket liner and said:

"It's not that I'm bold, if you don't take me in, I'm really going to die today."

"Where are you from, I've never seen you in this area."

"Homeless, homeless and homeless."

The glint in the old man's eyes was a little colder.

"My eyes are not blind boys, and the homeless with lice on my body does not have the bearing of you, you are obviously a soldier, why should a soldier disguise himself as a homeless man to enter my house?"

Hell, the dead old man didn't have a bad look.

I shrugged again.

"I suggest you change your name, it's a 'fugitive soldier', I don't want to be caught casually and eat guns, and I've never seen a rich man set up a machine gun bunker in his home, anyway, everyone has a secret, wouldn't it be good to just pretend to be confused?"

"Hehe, deserter, but you don't look like a coward."

The cold light in the old man's eyes suddenly changed and changed to a strange color, and I could not read what this look meant, when a servant hurried up and reported.

"Master, they're all here."

The old man's eyes shook slightly, and they became cold again.

"Okay, I see, take them to the parlour, and I'll be there, oh yes, take the guest to the guest room, and let him go after dawn."

Seeing this old man's attitude, I thought I could fight for it, so I immediately raised my hand.

"Well, to be honest, I haven't eaten all night, can I give another piece of food, the requirements are not too high, just fill my stomach."

The old man was getting impatient, and waved my hand to get out of his field of vision.

Fortunately, the old man finally provided me with a room and food, three dishes and one soup, as well as meat dishes, the staple food is traditional black bread, all of which are the craftsmanship of a country chef, not how rich, but the taste is quite satisfying.

The servant quickly removed the plate, and I sat down on the bed. I've been tossing and turning for almost thirty hours, and as soon as I took a hot shower and leaned on the mattress, all the accumulated fatigue was immediately released, and I yawned and prepared to go deep into the sweet sleep, as for tomorrow, I will save it until tomorrow.

But as fate would have it, I couldn't sleep well tonight.

About three hours later, I was suddenly woken up by a loud noise, at first I didn't want to pay attention to it because I was half dead of exhaustion, but the noise got louder and louder, and finally it was as loud as a holiday party, and it was impossible for me to continue sleeping, so I had to hold back my stomach and jump with anger.

At the gate of the manor, there was a surge of people.

I squinted, my eyesight was pretty good, these guys were both middle-aged people with big bellies and emotional teenagers, but in terms of bearing, none of them looked like mediocre people. Moreover, there were large groups of men and horses driven from outside the manor, with heavily armed guards and armored vehicles, and even mecha troops, which strictly protected the manor.

The old man was surrounded by the crowd at this time, and the excited cries were thunderous, and everyone put their left hands on their chests and bowed deeply to him, and the old man also solemnly returned the salute in the same way, and the atmosphere was warm.

I took a deep breath.

This is really interesting, this is the etiquette between the nobles of the old kingdom!
