Ji Xinghe's intention to challenge Idacom before the battle was naturally opposed by everyone.

Including those who have been convinced for the past three years that he will return as king.

"Old man, even if you have to tell everyone that you are the king, you can't be so angry."

"That's right, although Idakang's Prince Armor was seized by you, but that orangutan is also an imperial prince, and it is not a matter of minutes to want the Prince Armor. You don't have a national warrior-level mecha, how can you fight it? ”

"Old man, let's talk about it first, my Divine Punishment Armor won't be used for you."

In the western theater of the Battle Scar Canyon, the old people that Ji Xinghe had only seen used the name left by the blind man before.

They all seemed to be in very good condition, not sad, angry, and resentful because of the sacrifices of many comrades-in-arms, nor were they so excited that they were uncontrollable because of the arrival of Ji Xinghe, the one hundred and twenty mountain slayers brought by Ji Xinghe, and the gifts that could start at any time.

In the midst of enthusiasm, there is a calmness that can be clearly felt.

After three years, they have grown a lot, and Ji Xinghe is very pleased with their emotional control, but also a little distressed.

Isn't this state that these young people deliberately show in front of him so as not to worry him?

At the time of his departure, there were a total of thirteen members of the original galaxy team of the Independent Regiment, and because of his reasons, as well as the excellence of these thirteen ace mecha warriors, at the peak of the independent regiment, all of them had at least general-level (Duke A) mechas.

Qin Tong, Harris, Blind, Cripple, Su Chuanyun, Left Hand, Andre, Deaf, Cripple, Jiang Yun, Chu Feng, Zhang Ji, Liu Junle.

And now, only Qin Tong, Harris, Cripple, Su Chuanyun, Zuo Shou, and Jiang Yun are the only six people who can stand in front of Ji Xinghe.

Seven ace mecha warriors died, and there were many special mecha warriors of the independent regiment who died, and the reason for their sacrifice was this war between the Federation and the Empire, but the Federation's resource support for the independent regiment was greatly reduced, which was also an important reason.

The Duke Armor that the Deaf, Cripple, Chu Feng, Zhang Ji, and Liu Junle had obtained before could not be repaired due to lack of resources after they were damaged, and the others were about the same.

If they had always been able to possess the mechs that Ji Xinghe left behind when he left, would they really sacrifice so many people?

So, how can you not be sad, how can you not have the slightest complaint.

But they don't want to say anything.

They already knew that Ji Xinghe killed a former vice president of the Federation two months ago, and they were more afraid of Ji Xinghe going crazy than some people.

Although, they all want to go berserk.

"Say what you just said, repeat it."

Ji Xinghe looked at Su Chuanyun and said softly, with a calm expression.

But Su Chuanyun was already nervous, and he realized that the comrades-in-arms who had originally said that they would collectively persuade Ji Xinghe not to carry out this pre-battle challenge had all shut up at this time, and looked at him with strange eyes.

"Forehead ......"

Su Chuanyun stubbornly said: "Old man, you are so old, don't you understand, if you give it to others, it is someone else's thing?" People don't want to lend it to you, you can't grab it. ” …

The relief that Ji Xinghe had just now disappeared a little.

Su Chuanyun didn't seem to have changed much.

"Okay, I don't."

When he said this, everyone present was a little happy.

"Old man, do you want to use Han Li's Allure Armor? That's a good thing, the Prince Armor you captured before was transformed, and its performance is simply explosive. ”

The most advanced mecha in the Federation so far is the Allure Armor used by Han Li.

Although after the development of the thirteenth generation core engine, as well as other mecha-related technologies, many mecha have undergone technical upgrades. But at present, the Federation only has Han Li's Prince Armor, and the body is all made of tungsten steel gold, and Li Yuanba's Overlord Armor is only made of tungsten steel alloy.

If Ji Xinghe wants to challenge Idakang, then it must be best to use Han Li's Alluring Armor, and Han Li has no reason to refuse.

"No, I don't need his Allure Armor."

"Huh? Then do you want to use the previous Great General Armor, originally said that the mecha was given to me, but they didn't give it, and gave me your Divine Punishment Armor, and the Great General Armor was transformed and given to Cadilin. ”

Su Chuanyun became excited: "I wanted to ask them for a long time, but I knew that I would definitely not come, so I didn't ask for it." Ask them, old man. ”

Although the armor of divine punishment was equipped with a nuclear power reactor, and the nuclear power reactor captured from Yinan was dismantled, Su Chuanyun still wanted the general armor more, because the body material of the general armor used a lot of tungsten steel, and the defense was more powerful.

And for things like nuclear power reactors, the increased endurance time is actually not that important, and Su Chuanyun simply can't support such a long-term high-intensity battle.

"I don't need that."

"And what kind of mecha do you use? Xingyue Jia can't do it. ”

"The mecha I use, Idacom will send it to me."

"Huh?"

Everyone was puzzled, but Ji Xinghe didn't continue the topic, what he had to do couldn't be said in advance, and if he said it, it wouldn't work.

"Don't talk about this, wait for Idacom to come, it may not dare to come."

Regarding the fact that Ji Xinghe had not yet landed on another planet, he ordered in advance to shout to the empire to launch a pre-battle challenge, and the discussion was temporarily ended.

The first official meeting of the independent regiment after the return of Ji Xinghe began.

There were not many people who participated in this meeting, but there were quite a few people in the Independent Mission.

The current independent regiment is no longer only equipped with mecha warriors and two staff officers, after Ji Xinghe left, Tang Qiao equipped the independent regiment with relevant personnel, so the establishment of the independent regiment is very complete.

Originally, these formations were preparations for Kenteves' attempt to snatch away the Independent Regiment, but he died.

The total number of people is 535, of which there are 323 mecha warriors, and among these mecha warriors, 193 have been added in the last two months.

Among the mecha warriors who had been in the Independent Regiment before, Ji Xinghe knew only twenty-seven people, and they were mecha warriors who joined the Independent Regiment before he left the alien planet.

There is no one out of ten.

Chen Xun, who was pale and still expressionless, took the lead in making a report and explained the existing configuration of the independent regiment. …

In addition to Ji Xinghe, there are six ace mecha warriors, forty-three super-level mecha warriors, one hundred and thirty-five first-level mecha warriors, and one hundred and thirty-nine second-level mecha warriors.

Other staffing is omitted.

A national soldier-level mecha, Su Chuanyun's armor of divine punishment. There are five general-level mechas, Qin Tong, Harris, Cripple, Left Hand, and Jiang Yun's mechas. Counting the one hundred and twenty planes brought by Ji Xinghe, the total number is only one hundred and ninety-eight, and there are ninety-six formation-breaking mechas.

Other weapons and equipment configurations are omitted.

After the report, Chen Xun bowed his head slightly.

"Old man, I'm sorry, we've almost beaten the family you left behind."

Because all the people present were old men from the independent regiment, Chen Xun also used the title of old man.

Ji Xinghe was noncommittal and asked, "Our independent regiment, how many are the cumulative defeats now?" ”

"Not counting your defeat, Commander, our Star River Mecha Independent Corps has a cumulative number of 8,759 Imperial Mechas."

In theory, this number is not very good.

Because before Ji Xinghe left the alien planet, the independent regiment, which had only been established for less than half a year at that time, had already broken more than 3,000 planes. According to the calculation of 3,000 planes broken in half a year, three years have passed, not to mention 18,000 planes, 10,000 planes must be broken, right?

But the truth is that not even 9,000 planes have been broken.

However, theory is just theory, and the independent regiment that has already fought one out of ten has really gone all out.

"Well, it's already very good." Ji Xinghe asked again, "Is there any other problem that I need to solve?" ”

"Morale, or rather the self-confidence of the mechfighters."

After Chen Xun finished speaking, he explained.

"Because we insist on using the rules of Su Chuanyun's challenge to select mecha warriors, the mecha warriors we added don't actually meet the standards of being able to drive a mountain slasher in terms of the strength of armor-piercing battles.

I've told you this before, but there are a lot of our ace mecha warriors and special mech warriors before, and we can take them with you and give them more room to grow, so it's not a big problem.

But in the past six months, the empire has repeatedly blocked us at any cost, and our top and middle and high-level combat power has suffered serious losses, and it is difficult for the newly replenished mecha warriors to have enough room for growth.

If it weren't for the fact that you're sure you're coming back, we wouldn't have replenished so many mechfighters in these two months, and letting them come would actually be harming them. So for the last two months, none of them went to war.

But this has taken a toll on their self-confidence, and this is the problem you need to solve the most at the moment. ”

"I see." Ji Xinghe nodded: "I'll gather them later, just let me say a few words." ”

"Just say a few words?" Su Chuanyun asked curiously, "Old man, can you tell me what you are going to say first?" ”

"I'm going to say, let them take turns challenging you and then rebuild your confidence. After all, there should be some meaning in being able to defeat an ace mecha warrior who can drive a national warrior-level mecha. ”

"Don't me." Su Chuanyun finally couldn't help but complain: "It's been three years, old man, do you know how I've spent the past three years?" ” …

After the tone of questioning, Su Chuanyun, who noticed the change in Ji Xinghe's eyes, changed his tone to smugness: "I have killed the enemy formation seventy-three times, and I have already obtained sixteen red stars, and I am the strongest in the entire independent regiment, which can be called the top card of our independent regiment." Now you let them take turns to challenge me, I don't want to lose face? ”

Ji Xinghe was too lazy to deal with Su Chuanyun, and seeing that Chen Xun and they didn't have any questions to talk about, he talked about the gift.

"Because the current brain-computer interface is not yet suitable for the power of qi, I will not give you gifts in a short period of time. Of course, if you feel that you can switch back to the previous mode of operation instead of using neural linking, I can give you a gift. ”

As for the gift, these people in the Independent Regiment, as well as many people on the alien planet, have been looking forward to it for a long time.

But the problem that Ji Xinghe said did exist, so they were all a little hesitant.

In the past three years, although the independent regiment has received fewer and fewer resources in terms of mechas, the neural link technology cockpit has become a regular configuration.

They have become accustomed to using this new mecha mode of operation, and because of the long use of this mode of operation, their bodies have more or less developed some inconsistency.

If it weren't for Ji Xinghe, who left the independent regiment with the tradition of practicing kung fu and unarmouring combat training, their physical incoordination would have been even more serious.

Not to mention changing back to the previous mode of operation, even normal life will be affected somewhat.

While they were thinking, the left hand suddenly proposed: "Su Chuanyun, aren't you the strongest in the independent group?" Come, you accept the old man's gift first, and then you use the previous mode of operation to see if you are still the strongest, if you can do it, then we should be able to do it. ”

"Of course I could."

Su Chuanyun gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, old man, I'll try it first, anyway, my mecha is the strongest, even if my operation level declines, it's not a big problem, and the Duke of the Empire will still kill it in seconds." ”

Hearing him say this, his left hand suddenly panicked: "Don't, I'm kidding, you don't really think that you are the strongest in our independent group, right?" I don't accept you, old man, so I'll try it first. ”

Qin Tong said loudly: "It's better for me to come, I'm the strongest." Of course, not counting you. ”

Not to be outdone, Harris began to scramble.

Ji Xinghe shook his head.

"You don't have to rob it, as I said, I won't give you gifts for the time being, unless, you can ensure that you use the previous mode of operation, which is not weaker than now."

Of course, this kind of thing is not as simple as Su Chuanyun said, and this war does not have so much time, so Su Chuanyun and them are refamiliar with the previous operation mode and the power of qi.

Unless, there is a big win.

Or the federal research has developed a brain-computer interface that can not affect qi, and then there will be no need to think about these problems.

"Is it possible that we can do without the power of qi?" Jiang Yun proposed, "I mean, can the power of qi shrink when we are piloting the mecha?" That way, there will be no conflicts. ”

"No, the power of Qi requires good control and takes some time to get used to. If it is not mastered, it will flow uncontrollably through your brain-computer interfaces, damaging them at least and damaging your nervous system. ” …

"Then General Li Yuanba, and Han Li, is it okay?" Jiang Yun asked again, "Didn't they say that they had already controlled their bodies?" ”

"They can indeed control the qi in a very short period of time, but ......"

Ji Xinghe hesitated slightly, but still said: "I have a feeling that after obtaining the power of qi through gifts, I will not be able to obtain the power of gifts. ”

Su Chuanyun asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Use your brain."

"Oh, I see. If you give me the power of qi, then although I have gained the power of qi, I cannot give it to others. ”

"Yes."

"That's not good, I don't want your gift anymore, I want the power of your gift."

"Yes."

Ji Xinghe nodded and said: "Three elements, first, bear the baptism of nuclear explosion. Second, I have the same strong will and faith as I do. Third, practice to be vigorous. Basically, as long as you can achieve these three elements, and then die for a lifetime, you will be able to obtain the power of qi on your own. Then, by merging your spiritual will with the power of Qi, you can give gifts to others. ”

Without any reservations, Ji Xinghe said it all.

The people present can be said to be the people he trusts the most, there is no risk of leakage, and this information is not actually a secret.

Han Li knew, and so did Li Yuanba.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Su Chuanyun was stunned and shook his head: "Then forget it, old man, you work hard, give me a gift when the time comes, I don't want to ask Han Li and Li Yuanba for help." ”

Chen Xun asked, "Do you mean that Han Li and Li Yuanba both want to take the path you took?" ”

"Han Li is still hesitating, Li Yuanba has already decided." Ji Xinghe said: "However, my feelings are not necessarily right, so when I see Li Yuanba, I will talk to him." ”

Chen Xun frowned and said, "I don't recommend letting them try, because the risk is too great." ”

"I know, and they know. But ......"

Ji Xinghe said: "It took me half a year to let only 3,000 people have the power of qi, which is far from enough. ”

Everyone understood that the population base of the Federation was too large, and because of the system, it was impossible to treat the power of Qi as the privilege of the nobility like the Empire.

That's going to make a big mess.

The empire has not rebelled for so many years, because of the royal family's restrictions on people's education, if Dongguo Cilian did not get nuclear weapons through the Federation, as well as some scientific and technological knowledge, the empire would not have a rebel army.

But the federation has not restricted the education of the people, and if it really wants to engage in privileges, division is inevitable.

"Three thousand disciples?" Su Chuanyun suddenly said: "Old man, it turns out that this son of yours is the son of Jizi, a saint." ”

Ji Xinghe ignored Su Chuanyun again and discussed the right matter, and after the meeting, all the people of the independent regiment transferred from the front to the rear had been assembled.

Everyone excitedly waited for Ji Xinghe's lecture, but Ji Xinghe only said two words.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar people of the independent group, Ji Xinghe's loud voice had a certain majestic characteristic.

He said.

"In the past three and a half years, our independent regiment has destroyed 8,759 Imperial mechs, which is the largest number of mecha corps, but I think it is far from enough.

So, in three days, I'll take you together. ”

Let's make it up.

Hearing this strange and familiar statement, the emotions of all the people in the independent regiment changed from excitement to fanaticism.

The problem of self-confidence was solved in this way, and it was indeed only used in two sentences.

Su Chuanyun secretly gave Ji Xinghe a thumbs up, and the smile on his face was unprecedentedly brilliant in the past three years.
