The two knights of [Nightmare] and [Star] are relying on large transport armored vehicles to bump forward on the uninhabited mountain paths, but fortunately, it is a time of war, and there are no tourists in the very popular scenic spots, so the convoy does not need to open a new road from the uninhabited deep mountains and old forests.

"Where are we now?" Clovis asked Yang Hui if he couldn't stand this kind of bump anymore, even if he had participated in actual combat, but it was only to eliminate the resistance organization in [TEN], and neither the size nor the environment could be compared to the current one.

"It's Mt. Tanigawa now, and it's expected to be an hour past Mt. Naeba and you'll be able to see Nagano."

"Why don't you take a break?" Clovis suggested that the main thing is that he himself is a little unable to hold on, and if he doesn't take a break, he won't have to participate in the next fight.

"No, you can't rest until you reach Mt. Takasha." Yang Hui didn't seem to see Clovis's pale face, and kept his head down to look at the marching map.

"But ......"

"The more we delay, the more dangerous the allies of Yamanashi and Tochigi will be, and the chance of our exposure will increase." Without giving Clovis any chance to fight, Yang Hui interrupted him directly as soon as he spoke.

"Your Highness Yang Hui, it's not a big problem to take a little rest, right?" At this time, Garret, who was worried about Clovis's state, stood up and said to Yang Hui.

"Bear with me." There was no trace of emotion in Yang Hui's tone, and the cold voice made Clovis feel unfamiliar.

"But His Royal Highness Yang Hui ......"

"I said it, bear with it." Yang Hui raised his head and stared at Garrett and Clovis with a gaze like ten thousand years of ice, "This is your own choice, then bear it, even if you faint, you can't stop here." ”

"His Royal Highness Yang Hui ......"

"That's enough, Garret." Clovis doesn't know why Yang Hui has such an attitude now, but he also understands the truth of the speed of soldiers, although he is a prince, but now he is not more delicate than anyone else, nor is it his delicate occasion.

"But Your Highness...... Although Garrett is a talent that Clovis unearthed from the [TEN] Bunitaria Army, he has not experienced major battles, and after the establishment of the [Starry] Knights, he has only fought resistance groups, and has not participated in wars between countries, let alone such high-intensity special operations.

Moreover, the [Starry] Knights who were able to join the formation of Clovis also began to be arrogant and pampered.

"I've said enough, Garret." Clovis also looked at Garrett with an unkind face, he understood Garrett's loyalty, but if he continued to say it, it would destroy the internal unity, didn't he see that the members of the [Nightmare] Knights in the same car already had a bad face?

“…… Yes，your highness.” Perhaps also feeling the change in the air around him, Garrett also chose to shut up, just staying by Clovis's side all the time in case something happened.

"This is war, real war, Clovis." Yang Hui continued to look at the combat map, and said to Clovis without raising his head, and at the same time, he also said to Garrett, "Every step of the commander, every order, determines the life and death of thousands of lives, every minute and every second, is the key to victory, the situation of the war is changing rapidly, stopping here to rest for even a second may lead to our whereabouts being exposed, once the enemy is aware, can we still complete our mission?" And how much more does it cost to complete? ”

“…… I see, Yang Hui. Clovis listened, he really hadn't experienced a real war, and he could understand what Yang Hui said, "I will be patient and obey your command all the way." ”

"Hmm."

Yang Hui nodded, he said enough, it's not that he looks down on Clovis and the [Starry] Knights, although they are all elite knights, but the [Starry] Knights can only be regarded as a special police team to maintain law and order at best, and the [Nightmare] Knights are the most elite special forces, the phantom in the battlefield, the enemy's nightmare, every action will be stabbed in the heart of the enemy.

The [Starry] Knights are still very proud, but this fragile pride, Yang Hui will use practical actions to prove how ridiculous their pride and conceit are in the next battle.

After driving for a while, the convoy finally drove out of Mt. Takasha, because it was not far from Nakano, and the road was not so rough and bumpy, which made Clovis feel a lot better, and the situation in Nagano could already be observed here, so Yang Hui decided to stop the convoy for the time being.

"Rest in place for half an hour, Veretta, Joan, and take a few people to reconnoiter the situation in Nagano."

“Yes，your highness.”

Veretta and Joan Luo, who received the order, immediately led people to disappear from everyone's sight with drone equipment, and the execution was so high and fast that the people of the [Starry] Knights were stunned.

To their surprise, they had returned with their people in just ten minutes, and reported the results of the investigation to Yang Hui, so detailed that they seemed to have traveled to the wilderness.

Yang Hui, on the other hand, gathered Regeni Rejeta, Jeremia, Fujido Kagyoshiro, as well as Clovis and Garret, and assigned their respective tasks.

"This is where we are now, according to the results of Veretta and Joan's reconnaissance, Nagano's main force is heading in the direction of Yamanashi, and the remaining armed forces are distributed in Nakano's field hospital, Iioka's material warehouse, Imai's transportation hub and Nakajo's ammunition warehouse, and then our troops are divided into four routes, Rejeta leads a team to take the field hospital, X and Joan lead a team to Iioka, Jeremia and Veretta together with the team, and directly attack Nakajo after capturing Nagano."

“Yes，your highness.” X5

"Yang Hui, what about us?" Clovis asked, he hadn't heard his plan with the Knights of the Stars.

"You and your knights follow me, destroy the defenders of Imai, and occupy Nagano."

“…… Okay, no problem. ”

All the way to the present, Clovis also knew that Yang Hui and his [Nightmare] Knights looked down on themselves and the [Starry] Knights, not maliciously despised, but just despised their combat qualities.

Clovis was not arrogant enough to think that the [Starry] Knights he selected could compare to the [Nightmare] Knights personally trained by Yang Hui, the originator of the training method, but he also hated the feeling of being slighted, because he knew that he chose to accept Yang Hui's orders, and because he was also dissatisfied, he decided to perform well in this battle, so that Yang Hui and the [Nightmare] Knights could see the excellence of the [Starry] Knights.

"The battle will begin in ten minutes, and each will board and check the airframe and get ready."

"Understood."

“Yes，your highness！” XN

Clovis also boarded his special Gloucester, and the [Starry] Knights are painted in white as a whole, which is very in line with Clovis's temperament.

"Your Highness." After inspecting his body, Garrett contacted Clovis alone and expressed his dissatisfaction, "His Royal Highness Yang Hui is a little excessive, this is obviously looking down on us. ”

Among the four people, only the task of capturing Imai Transportation Hub is the easiest, because this task is generally carried out by two teams at the same time, while Jeremiah and Veretta's team carry out two missions at the same time, and then make a long run to Nakajo after destroying Imai with this team.

In other words, the mission of the [Starry] Knights can only be counted as half, and with the help of the [Nightmare] Knights, Garrett is a little dissatisfied.

"Do you think you're worthy of the Nightmare Knights?"

"Of course ......"

"Tell me the truth."

“…… No. "Garrett is proud, but he is not a blind and arrogant idiot, in the process of marching, and the military quality shown by both sides during the break just now, the [Starry] Knights are indeed inferior to the [Nightmare] Knights, and the gap is not half a star.

"If you know, why are you dissatisfied?"

"But...... Even so, I don't feel like I'm inferior to them. ”

"Then prove it in action."

“Yes，your highness.”

"When the time comes, the battle begins, sortie, Clovis, keep up."

"Good ......"

As soon as Clovis answered, he was also about to control the mech to keep up with Yang Hui's footsteps, but as soon as he set off, he and the [Starry] Knights fell behind.

Although Higashidate Mountain is not high, the woods are still very dense, and the difficult terrain must affect the speed of the march, let alone Knightmare.

However, the Knightmare of the Nightmare Knights walked on the ground as if they were on flat ground, and in a few jumps, they widened the distance between themselves and the Knights of the Stars.

"This ...... How can it be? How could Knightmare make such a move!? ”

Not only Clovis, but also Garret, and all the people of the [Starry] Knights, in their sight, the dense woods did not cause any obstacles to the [Nightmare] Knights, as if they could foresee the future, avoiding all the trees and rocks.

The Purpose-built Machine is not an excuse for them to deceive themselves, because the Nightmare Knights only have a few Purpose-built Machines, and Gloucester, who is the same as them, can also keep up with the speed of the Purpose-built Machine.

Moreover, to the frustration of Clovis and the [Starry] Knights, Yang Hui and the Jeremiah and Veretta teams were obviously able to slow down and prevent the [Starry] Knights from being completely dumped by them.

Why?

Team Regeni Rejeta, Team X, and Team Joan are nowhere to be seen.

"Your Highness!"

"Be quiet, concentrate and keep up with them!"

“Yes，your highness！” XN

It may be that such an environment coupled with huge stimulation is more likely to stimulate the potential of human beings, looking at the [Nightmare] Knights in front of them who deliberately lowered their speed in order to wait for them, Clovis and the [Starry] Knights both riveted their speeds, and the potential to explode in an instant increased their speed a lot, and they could catch up with the [Nightmare] Knights in front.

"It seems that the potential has exploded, not bad, not enough...... It's not enough, the whole machine accelerates! ”

“Yes，your highness！” XN

"I ...... Grass (a plant)! Yang Hui! You bastard! ”
