Chapter 144: The Sound of Gunfire in the Fireworks

Although today's mecha optical sight has tried its best to do a matte finish, due to the original size of the thing, it still inevitably causes a little reflection when it is aimed at a place similar to the strong light on the moon pool stage.

The angle chosen by the other party is too tricky, and if it weren't for all the lights around him to turn off the atmosphere to welcome the New Year, and because Shi Chen's position was directly opposite that direction, I am afraid that even Shi Chen would not be able to detect it for a while.

And the angle that the other party was aiming at was Ye Mengqi, who was about to light the New Year's torch on the stage, or Isha next to her!

Isa!

Her Royal Highness the Second Princess of the Federal Elizabeth Royal Family. Thinking of the other party's sensitive identity and today's sensitive situation, Shi Chen instantly thought of many possibilities.

The Elizabethan royal family has a very special position in the constitutional monarchy of the federation, although it is only a symbolic position on the surface, but the top of the federation knows how terrifying Elizabeth's influence in the federation is, and how huge the power in the secret is.

And this influence will not be shaken for at least three generations of the independence of the Federation, and it will not be until all the old people during the Silver Cross War are all dead, and Elizabeth may truly gradually return to the simplicity of mere symbolism.

However, Elizabeth's royal family has few descendants, and there are only two princesses in the second generation, among which the eldest princess Arsariya has been missing for many years, and she evaporated again in the Titan. Therefore, Elizabeth's heir is currently only Isa.

If she dies suddenly, the Elizabethan royal family is likely to fall into a situation where it is difficult to succeed. And by that time, there is a good chance that the Union will be plunged into an unprecedented upheaval.

This must be what the empire wants to see the most, so the Federation's protection of Her Royal Highness the Second Princess has never relaxed, and even spent the early years in Sauron Castle. It wasn't until she became an adult that she came to study at Yuechi University under her strong will. Even so, the protective measures around Wolchi University have increased by several levels.

But now someone wants to openly assassinate Her Royal Highness the second princess! Could it be the people of the Empire?

Shi Chen, who was aware of this possibility, was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect it at all, and even a little incredulous, how could such a strange and dangerous situation still occur in the capital star circle far away from the war, could it be that the people of the empire were really crazy?

But then a trace of doubt hit my heart again, is it really an imperial person? Doing so would undoubtedly provoke the wrath of the Federation, which would surely be followed by a second war between the Federation and the Empire.

Now that the Federation is holding its troops, the Empire can use its strong forces to wear down the strength of the Blackstone Military Region little by little, shouldn't this be what the Empire wants to see more?

However, Shi Chen didn't have time to think too much about it, and he was even a little hesitant to warn the security personnel through the communication channel now.

Because in the hinterland of this capital star circle, the other party can actually get a mecha silently or unintentionally without anyone noticing, which is simply incredible, then there is only one explanation, there are moles in the Federation.

If this is the case, then it is likely that even the communication channel is now under the watchful eye of the other party. Therefore, Shi Chen was very worried that his warning would become a startling snake and let the other party take action in advance.

The sniper rifle used by the mecha is extremely terrifying, even if you are not a sniper master, it can be said that it is easy to kill two weak women at this distance!

"What the hell should I do!" A wisp of cold sweat slid down Shi Chen's forehead.

Just when Shi Chen was in extreme anxiety, the communicator in the cockpit suddenly sounded.

Toot toot, toot toot, toot toot

"It's the Morse code encrypted by the military region!" Shi Chen's original frowning brows were raised, and when he looked at the source of the communication, he was even more surprised that it was actually a warning sent by someone from the Blackstone Military Region.

Bang!

"Idiot!" Shi Chen's fist slammed into the driver's platform.

Even if the other party can't crack the code, isn't this like a reminder that the other party has sensed the danger and asked them to do it quickly?

Shi Chen's expression suddenly became highly nervous, and in the quiet cockpit, he could even hear the sound of his heart beating violently, and his eyes looked closely at the small bamboo forest opposite the Moon Pond through the light screen.

At the same time, the security personnel around the Moon Pond River also became alert and switched to another communication channel as quickly as possible.

Isa, who had just received the torch from Ye Mengqi's hand on the stage, was also stiff, pulling her hair behind her ear with her left hand, and also pressed the communication port of her outer ear with this action, as if she couldn't believe the warning she had just heard.

"Your Highness, just now we received a warning from the Blackstone Army garrison, they found suspicious mecha tracks during their previous patrol, and they are currently urgently going to the Military Gymnasium to conduct an inventory and have been confirmed to have borrowed money, we suggest that Your Highness, you immediately interrupt the ceremony and quickly evacuate with us!"

Hear this.

Isha was silent for a few seconds, then turned her head to look at Ye Mengqi on the side, and said with a smile: "I'm glad to be on the same stage with you today for this ceremony, and then I'll just leave it to me alone." ”

Ye Mengqi, who didn't know why, was slightly stunned, smiled a little unnaturally, and suddenly noticed that there was an obvious worry between the other party's eyebrows, opened his mouth, and finally complied: "It's good." "Retreat into the background.

Seeing this scene, the audience was also a little stunned, and then the scene became a little noisy.

Obviously, it was supposed to be the scene where Isha and Ye Mengqi held torches together to light the torch, but how did it become Isha alone?

Shi Chen in the cockpit breathed a heavy sigh of relief after seeing Ye Mengqi leave the stage alone, but he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and at the same time glanced at the second princess, through the lens over there, Shi Chen inadvertently saw Isha avoid the microphone and say something, while Shi Chen, who had studied lip language, felt that his nose was a little sour.

"Now that the entire Federation is watching me on the screen, I can't just interrupt this ceremony because there may be some threat, which will leave a stain on Elizabeth's flag. As Elizabeth's son, I had to take on this responsibility. So, please let me continue with this ritual. ”

The communication channel fell silent.

After that, Isha in the camera smiles and raises the torch, stepping towards the torch on the high platform in the eyes of everyone.

With a whew, the fuel in the torch plate burst into flames, lighting up the sky and the hearts of all the Federationers.

At the same time, countless fireworks burst into the sky, illuminating the entire night in a colorful light.

At this moment, the audience cheered and cheered, and every family, every corner, and every federal person who was watching this scene in front of the screen was smiling and applauding, welcoming the arrival of the new year together.

And Isa, who had successfully completed the ceremony, also breathed a sigh of relief, and I don't know whether it was because of the heat of the fire or because of the high degree of nervousness, her pretty face was flushed, and her forehead was sweaty, but she was full of bright smiles.

Isn't there no danger? Isha thought so gladly.

Just as she slowly walked down the high platform, she suddenly felt a chill hit her, and saw countless snowflakes the size of goose feathers in the brilliant night sky illuminated by fireworks, and began to fall down.

"It's snowing." Isha smiled and stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to catch a patch of snow.

At this moment, a deafening gunshot instantly overshadowed the sound of fireworks in the night sky.

A spinning bullet came out of the small bamboo forest, through the falling flowers, through the broken leaves, through the first snow falling in the New Year, whistling!
