The defense system of the Republic can be divided into two parts.

The first part is from the outside to the inside, mainly composed of satellite guns. The satellite rotates around the planet according to its orbit, and can attack any designated place between the satellite and the planet, and there is no dead angle in 360 degrees.

The other part is from the inside to the outside. Weapons are rooted in the land of the planet and fired to the outside according to instructions. Among the weapons used for defense, the most troublesome weapon for the coalition forces is the "Red Lotus Banquet." Its cannon body has a diameter of six kilometers and contains a huge light energy collection system, which breaks through the limitations of artificial energy supply and is powerful enough to destroy a fleet in the blink of an eye. Even if the coalition's new fleet uses phase change materials, the warships after the phase change still cannot withstand the pain of an attack.

"We must destroy the'Red Lotus Banquet'," otherwise it will be difficult to approach the capital at all. "Wu Qiao frowned, "This is their last hope, and they are using it to struggle to death." Break this barrier and you can defeat your opponent. "

"But the question is...how to do it?" everyone in the meeting asked.

"Ji Yao thought about it. It is possible to destroy it with the help of some underground pipelines. These pipelines have been abandoned and have not been used for hundreds of years." Wu Qiao pointed to a city map and said, "Hey, first. Landing to this place, this place is very remote. Only one mech will pass by, which may not be found... Then through this pipeline, from here, and then down from this pipeline, and then up again... Finally, through this one Long, you can reach a place very close to the main gun, you can directly attack the muzzle of the main gun, and then quickly pass another road to escape back to our camp!"

After a pause, Wu Qiao said: "This task can only be done by one person. If you want to land on the ground without being discovered, your goal is to be as small as possible; secondly, the pipeline is very narrow and can only accommodate one mecha. Going too much will implicate each other and slow down the speed."

"Then..." Several pairs of eyes stared at Wu Qiao, "Who is going?"

Wu Qiao did not answer directly. He pondered for a moment, and then said: "The operation level of the human and mecha performing the task needs to be extremely high. Otherwise, he will definitely not be able to eliminate all enemies in his vision and complete the long-distance movement without knowing it. The ability of the person performing the task must be higher than the demand, so as to cope with all possible emergencies."

Wu Qiao pointed his finger at the blank space between the pipes: "The most suitable candidate is naturally Tan Yan... But Marshal Tan Yan can't leave the front line... So I always thought that I might have to go there myself."

"...What?!" As soon as the words came out, everyone in the communication was shocked.

Wu Qiao repeated it again: "I said, if I can, I have to take a trip myself."

"It's not right." Wu Qiao immediately met with a lot of opposition, "If you have an accident, the problem will be serious! If you change someone else, even if you don't succeed, it won't be worse! Moreover, if you want to sit in the middle of the town, it is not suitable for you to leave! At any time of execution, there may be other things for you to deal with!"

"I don't want to..." Wu Qiao said, "but no one else has this kind of technology."

At this moment, Wu Qiao heard a crisp "I'm going".

He raised his eyes and found that it was Layla's voice.

Layla currently leads the mecha light cavalry unit. Although the number is small, she needs to participate in combat meetings every time.

Every time I saw Leila, Wu Qiao felt that her hair was getting shorter and shorter. Although it is still good-looking, but it is too reluctant to pay attention to appearance.

"You..." Wu Qiao hesitated.

The control level of Layla's mecha is very high, which can be said to be second only to Tan Yan and herself, but in other words, Layla's ability is not as good as the two of them, so Wu Qiao showed some hesitation.

Layla said again, "I can complete the plan, I hope you believe me."

"..."

"Wu Qiao," Layla fixed her eyes on Wu Qiao, "I can do what you can do."

Wu Qiao did not speak.

Layla has always been like this. In the previous course in the military department, she always compared herself with herself. Every time she lost, she would be unhappy, and occasionally she would be very excited to win. Later, when she joined the army, Layla was still the same. She never thought she was inferior to herself. She always seemed to feel that if she had an opportunity of her own, she would not be bad.

Wu Qiao wondered, Layla was from the planet "If you don't win, you will die". On that planet, as long as you don't get the first place, you will feel as uncomfortable as dead. Layla is very good. She has never met an opponent in the past, and when she did not prevent her, she has been secretly competing with herself.

Layla should recognize herself very much, she has shown this recognition more than once, she should just be too strong.

Wu Qiao looked at Leila quietly.

Layla shook her head irritably, connected to her mecha, asked me to adjust a few videos of recent battles, and directly enlarged the screen to let Wu Qiao see her performance.

"..." Wu Qiao watched intently. I have to say that Layla has improved again, although she is still not as good as herself, but the gap is obviously smaller again. I have been a little negligent in practice for the past two years, and my level has stagnated, so Layla has really caught up.

"How is it?" Layla raised her chin and asked arrogantly.

Wu Qiao thought about it carefully, and finally thought that although it is not as good as his own insurance, it is enough. He thought, everyone is opposed to his own attack, then... trust Layla, who recommended herself.

After confirming, Wu Qiao left Layla to plan the entire operation in detail. Layla memorized all the points very seriously, kept it in her heart, and made perfect preparations in her opinion.

On the day of departure, Layla smiled and said to Wu Qiao: "Trust me, Wu Qiao, I will definitely be able to do it. Successfully destroy the'Red Lotus Banquet' and live up to your entrustment."

"...Hmm." Wu Qiao kept persuading himself to relax, and he told himself that there was nothing to worry about. He thought, there will be no problem, Layla is competent enough.

...

However, fate seemed to be playing tricks on Layla.

As soon as Leila set off, Wu Qiao received the report of her being captured. Speaking of which, she was also quite unlucky. In the process of heading to the designated location alone, she happened to ran into a group of the latest mechas from the other side for a test flight. Those newest mechas were of higher level, and when an enemy plane appeared on her radar, the other party had already spotted her first.

Normally, even if the Republic finds Layla, it will only send a few mechas to take a look. There is only one person on the other side, and the Republic's scouts will not immediately go to war. In this way, Layla, who has excellent ability, has the opportunity to eliminate her opponent and move on.

Layla struggled very hard, but outnumbered, she was taken back to the military headquarters by the opponent.

Suddenly a highly skilled mecha pilot appeared in an inconspicuous place. This fact made the people of the Republic keenly aware of something. They questioned Layla strictly, but Layla never uttered a word. She knew very well that they must never let the other party know that they planned to use the underground pipeline to destroy the "Red Lotus Banquet" plan.

"You beautiful girl, you really want to toast, not eat or drink fine wine..." The chief interrogator sighed, "Wait for torture, and ruin your face and body. Is it really worth it? You change If everyone hides from you, you can only live your life ugly by yourself. Don’t you envy the sweet love and happy family of other women?" He knew that these words would kill a beautiful girl. How powerful is it.

Sure enough, the muscles on Layla's face trembled violently.

"Tsk..." He "tsk" and said to his subordinates, "Send to be tortured."

After Leila was taken into the torture room, she saw the hideous tools all over the room, and when her legs became weak, she fell to the ground.

She knew some of them, while others, she had never seen them, and didn't know what they were used for. She could only see the blood stains on it, and every drop seemed to be wailing.

The two people next to her stubbornly held her up, showing a very sarcasm look.

When Layla was more than ten meters away from the torture instrument, she refused to move, and sat straight down, completely dragged forward by someone.

Her beautiful face was distorted, and her original appearance was no longer visible, replaced by ugly fear, tears and nose all over her face.

When she got closer to the torture instrument, her trousers got wet and all her excrement came out.

The people next to them covered their mouths and noses, and the interrogator contemptuously said: "A woman is a woman, and she is as big as the eye of an embroidery needle—cuff her on the wall."

Hearing this, the person holding her began to forcibly press her against the wall, and Layla started to move more violently.

At this moment, a person pushed the door into the room and saw this scene. He sighed and said: "Don't worry, let her take a moment."

"..." Layla glanced at him gratefully.

The man said: "We want information, but she is also a human being, besides, she is a young girl, not too inhuman."

The person who made the sound just now turned out to be the commander-in-chief who likes table tennis. Before, he was deprived of his real power for making frustrating remarks, but the title still exists. His frustrating remarks were not spoken publicly, but were spoken to the President and others in private, so the sin was nothing but "lack of confidence", and would not really be severely punished. In fact, the reason why he said that was because he simply didn't want to send young people to the battlefield. Now the president says he will fight to the last minute, and he wants to regain his power, use his wisdom to fight beautiful battles, and do his best to save more young people. For this reason, he paid much attention to the captured Layla. He knew that Layla would not show up there for no reason. The coalition must have sent her to carry out some secret plan. As long as she could speak, the army could make preparations in advance. After learning that he was going to be tortured, he decided to see the interrogation in person. He believes that he has a better way to make Layla open his mouth, not to mention that he has nothing to do. As long as he can make this great contribution, he should be able to regain real power.

The President of the Republic had originally planned to re-enable him after he provided evidence of "reform". After all, no one else had his ability, and it would be extremely irrational to give up him.

After a while, the person holding Layla moved again, and Layla twisted violently again, crying harder.

She said, "Please... please..."

"I beg you for a fart?!" He said without stopping his hands.

Layla still repeated mechanically: "Please... please..."

At the same time, she looked at the commander-in-chief of the republic.

The commander-in-chief was silent and said: "I really don't want to be tortured... But sooner or later, I will be tortured." For a long time, she likes to confront her opponent upright and torture a weak person unilaterally, not his. style.

"Don't... don't..." Layla continued to delay time.

The commander-in-chief sighed again: "Otherwise, just say it. If you are afraid of being like this, you will say it sooner or later... Why not earlier? Also suffer less. Really, I've seen too many beings I’m 100% sure that you’ve been tortured, you will compromise with me in the end. You can say it now, don’t really suffer the crime, you can’t afford it.”

Layla hesitated visibly.

"Yes," the main interrogator said again, "you little girl, just do what a girl should do, what else are you doing?"

"..."

Seeing that Layla didn't speak, he pressed Layla against the wall again.

"Don't! Don't!" Layla's voice was full of pleading, "I said...I said...I said it's not enough...Don't hurt me..."

"Okay." The other party stopped moving, "Go ahead."

"..."

Seeing Layla was silent again, the man immediately grabbed her again.

"Don't!" Layla really surrendered again.

However, when it was time to say, she still did not say.

After going back and forth several times, the chief interrogator became impatient. He pointed to Layla and said, "If you don't open your mouth this time, you will really be tortured!"

"..." Layla shrank back uncontrollably by him. She looked back at the commander-in-chief as if asking for help again, and asked in a voice as small as a mosquito, "I...that, that...I... can I talk to you?" Only him, it seems. Not so fierce and evil.

"..." The commander-in-chief came over, "Okay."

He approached Layla. Layla looked at the other people around with vicious expressions, her eyes full of fear. She was breathing quickly, her chest rising and falling violently, as if her breathing had exhausted her strength.

"You scared her, let's stay away." The commander-in-chief said, "She is too frightened now to understand her thoughts."

"..." The few people stepped back.

"Okay," the commander-in-chief asked, "now you tell me what Wu Qiao is going to do? You don't need to be afraid, you won't be hurt." His face is handsome, his voice is like spring breeze, and he seems to relax all over his body. .

"..." Layla seemed to know that she couldn't hide. After hesitating for a while, she took a deep breath and finally decided to go all out. "They plan to..."

"Huh?" Layla's voice was too low, and the commander instinctively moved closer to listen, even tilting her head slightly.

At this moment, Layla suddenly violent, and all her weakness and weakness just disappeared! Like a beast, she stretched out her hand to hold the head of the commander-in-chief, and slammed it against the wall with all her strength!

The commander-in-chief tilted his head slightly just now, and his reaction was slower. Only a second before and after, a large pool of blood appeared on the wall!

Suddenly, all the people present were shocked and stood stupidly for a few seconds before drew a gun and shot Leila's limbs violently.

The blood flower bloomed like a flower, and it immediately stained the ground.

Layla fell to the ground, only her head could move.

"Fuck you!" The chief interrogator slammed on Layla's head with his feet, "You lied to us!" He didn't kill Layla because it was still useful.

"..."

Layla was indeed planning to lie to them. She pretended to be extremely scared, just for the last moment. She thought that she could only bring down the main interrogator, but the arrival of the commander-in-chief was really a surprise, so she pretended to work harder.

Her hands and feet hurt, and her head hurts. She felt extremely painful, but at the same time, she was a little bit happy. She solved the most difficult enemy commander who could not figure out a solution. From this point of view, she is the strongest person since the Hundred Years' War.

In the past, she has always been unwilling. Before graduating from the military course, he and Wu Qiao Mingming were similar. Wu Qiao is the first, she is the second, the difference is not too big, and sometimes she can beat Wu Qiao. But later, Wu Qiao's influence grew, and everyone knew that he was a pivotal person. As for myself, in comparison, the gap is huge, and it seems to be dispensable. She also can’t tell how she feels, because in her heart, the two abilities are almost the same. She hates people who are obviously the same. The other party has repeatedly made credit for changing the overall situation, but she has been far away. The feeling of being left behind and inevitably reduced to a side dish.

And this time, she finally turned around.

——She killed the God of War.

In fact, she can't be sure that the other party is dead, but she knows her strength, even if the person is not dead, she won't be able to wake up for a while. When he was able to fight again, Wu Qiao would have already broken the capital with his men.

At that time, I... should be admired by people all over the country.

She watched the commander-in-chief being lifted out of the way.

——I really don’t know what he thought at the end. Facing this kind of result, will he regret it? At the beginning, he entered the army only because his friends who played with him chose to join the army, and he followed. In fact, his favorite is always sports. Does he feel that his life is wasted on things that are not his favorite?

His life has been ups and downs. There is no doubt that he has the top abilities in the galaxy. His ability also brought him the greatest glory, although it also brought him the greatest humiliation when he was defeated steadily in the later period and when he was abused. Throughout his life, he failed to save the country that gave him the greatest glory and the greatest shame.

So, in his own view, is it worth it?

...

——On the other side, Wu Qiao was in a daze when he knew that Leila was captured.

Sometimes, he felt that the end of the war was very close to him, but sometimes, he felt that it was still far away.

Layla was arrested instead of him.

Even if I encounter that kind of situation, it is difficult to say whether I can retreat completely.

He felt very uncomfortable, but after several such things, he had learned to hide his emotions in his heart. Only when facing Tan Yan will he show his fragility.

Wu Qiao calculated the abilities of the remaining people, held a conference call, and said to several generals: "Now... I can only take a trip to the Republic."

Layla was caught, and the plan had to continue.

He knew in his heart that a person as arrogant as Layla would not compromise with his opponent.

"..." This time, everyone knew his determination, and no more objections were raised, only Tan Yan said, "Be careful about everything."

After the meeting, Wu Qiao and Ji Yao modified the pipeline they would use and decided to land at another location-he certainly couldn't repeat the way Layla was arrested.

Twenty minutes after making the decision, Wu Qiao set off in his mecha.

"Layla..." Ya Jiu said dumbly, "I hope she can be fine."

"..."

"Because...because... she is a good person, and she is beautiful." Ya Jiu is a top-notch face-controller.

"……Ok."

Wu Qiao was much luckier than Leila. Before landing, he had not been spotted by the enemy once.

Sure enough, he thought: The coalition forces are attacking fiercely in many places, and the Republic has no time to take care of all corners of the planet. Investigators will always miss some unimportant positions.

What Wu Qiao didn't know was that it went so smoothly because the Republican army was in a mess because of the previous commander-in-chief. There were a lot of people present at the time, so what Layla did soon spread to the army. Without this reason, Wu Qiao may not be unharmed.

While drilling through the pipeline, Wu Qiao felt quite calm.

But Ya Jiu was very nervous, and just wanted to fly a little faster, and quickly flew out of the pipe. The pipe is too dark and too narrow, so it can't talk to Wu Qiao in order not to be noticed. It thought of the plots in many ghost movies, and the entire mecha was uncomfortable because of the depressive atmosphere. Ya Jiu felt that if it needed to breathe, it would have been suffocated.

At the junction of the pipeline, Wu Qiao ran into his opponent several times.

However, for these miscellaneous soldiers, Wu Qiao solved them immediately before they reported.

After reaching the ground for the last time, Wu Qiao finally saw the shiny muzzle of "Red Lotus Banquet".
