On the endless interstellar plain without any obstructions, Yan Kingdom's mecha team was marching rapidly.

They had been traveling at high speed for nearly twenty hours continuously. Although the young pilots took turns driving in two shifts, their physical fatigue was still getting deeper and deeper.

The time they have been exposed to mechas is still too short, and they are far from reaching the state of "human and armor becoming one". Long-term high-speed driving of mechas is a brand new challenge for them.

This is like a novice who has just obtained a driving certificate. Although he is very interested in driving, he will still feel very tired after driving for four consecutive hours. Some people may even have uncomfortable swelling in the soles of their feet.

But those experienced drivers who have traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers have clearly become extremely disgusted with driving, but if they are asked to drive continuously for eight hours, ten hours, or even ten hours, they are completely competent.

Because the experienced driver will use just the right amount of strength to effectively complete the driving action, without wasting any extra energy and energy. He may even be thinking about other things while driving. (This is true, veteran driver.

All drivers have this problem.)

Most of Yanguo's pilot trainees can only drive at top speed for three or four hours at most. Then they will start to have problems due to physical and mental fatigue, and they have to be replaced to maintain the high speed of the mecha.

And as the number of rotations increases, this time continues to shorten.

Because the pilot in front had been driving for three hours, the pilot in the back had not just rested for three hours. He might have just taken a short nap and was awakened by the bumps of the mecha.

This is like the difference between veterans and recruits on the battlefield. The recruits can't sleep when there is any trouble, but the veterans still dream of marrying a wife with a cannon on their head.

"Xiaowan, you have been driving for six hours, let me drive for a while!"

"Need not!"

"Xiaowan, you can't do it like this. Teacher Muzi said, do you want us to ensure the best fighting condition at all times?"

"Guaranteed shit!"

Li Suwan drove Li Zhe's warrior type three and kicked a small mound of dirt on the route.

"Bang~"

The mound was kicked up and the flying dust dispersed like a puff of smoke filled with resentment.

In the cockpit, Li Suwan's little face tightened up, and she felt unhappy at first glance.

He Xiaoling, who was on the same mecha as Li Suwan, had endured it for a long time, and finally persuaded her: "Xiaowan, Teacher Muzi didn't mean it. You saw the situation at that time. We might... really be a burden.

."

"You are the burden!"

"Is he really capable? When I reach S-level, I'll see if I don't beat him to pieces!"

Li Suwan is really angry.

Just a dozen hours ago, she and Quan Shuying secretly left behind to find Li Zhe, and then witnessed Li Zhe's astonishing one-on-three performance.

But before a few people could praise their teacher for being such a great teacher, Li Zhe severely reprimanded them and slapped them all on the palms of their hands.

Forget about physical punishment! It’s not the first time anyway, so it’s okay.

But then Li Zhe's lecture made Li Suwan, Quan Shuying and others feel very aggrieved.

Because what Li Zheming secretly meant was, "You are all a burden. Being at the scene will only affect my speed of drawing the sword, and even in order to take care of you, it will threaten my own life!"

What kind of contempt is this? Have you never seen Dou Po? Don’t you know that young people should not be bullied when they are poor?

"Xiaowan, I think your attitude towards Teacher Muzi is wrong. Look at the way other students treat Instructor Qin Ke and Instructor Yaoyao. Look at us..."

“…..”

"Can you blame us? Who made him... so kind..."

The last half of the sentence was heard in a low voice only by Li Suwan.

He Xiaoling sighed: "Oh, I don't know what happened to Teacher Muzi. He said at that time that we had eight to ten hours of safety time. Now it has exceeded the time, and we have not heard the sound of cannons..."

"Boom~"

As soon as He Xiaoling finished speaking, less than ten kilometers to the side of the running mecha team, a ball of fiery red, mushroom-shaped fireworks exploded into the sky.

"He... turns out to have been with us all along!"

............

Li Zhe couldn't leave Yan Guo's mecha team too far because he didn't know from which direction the demon clan's pursuers would catch up.

After two short battles, the demons who suffered a loss will definitely not give up.

Moreover, the demon clan's tactical literacy is very high. Li Zhe would not be surprised at all if they use roundabout interception tactics.

And what happened was just as Li Zhe expected. A few hours after the expected time, the second demon mecha detachment actually overtook them from the side, and was blocked by Li Zhe, who was waiting for them.

Li Zhe first disguised himself with the skin of a demon mecha, then used vague demon language to fool him, and then successfully deceived the other party and got very close.

Then, it’s time to take off the sheepskin and transform into a big-tailed wolf.

In one minute, just one minute, the remains of three mechas lay on the ground.

"Oh~" (Despicable!!!)

Before dying, the three demon pilots all activated their mechas to self-destruct, blowing the powerful demon mechas into broken pieces to prevent them from being hijacked and used by despicable enemies again.

And Li Zhe also knew that the most difficult moment was coming soon.

What he will face next will not be this kind of reconnaissance mecha squad, but the pursuit of the organized Demon Guards Brigade.

In other words, an airship hundreds of kilometers long cannot pass through the portal, otherwise the mecha team of Yan Kingdom would have been hit by coverage from the air.

The most powerful force in Kaler's hands should be the thirty or forty mechas in a Guards Brigade.

"But how many people will you send?"

Li Zhe looked at the endless distance and speculated on Prince Kale's thoughts at the moment.

A teleportation array capable of teleporting dozens of mechas is not a small one. The construction period is more than ten days, if not several months, and it also requires the support of a high-power energy engine.

This kind of large teleportation gate cannot be moved at will like a portable teleportation device, and it must be guarded by heavy troops.

The reason why Li Zhe asked Guo Kun and others to continue maneuvering eastward at high speed was to widen the distance from Prince Kale's main camp in the shortest possible time, beyond the maximum control range of a demon guards brigade.

.

If Prince Kale sends all his main forces to chase Li Zhe, then his main camp will be empty.

Prince Kale doesn't know if there are follow-up troops on his side, so he must carefully consider the safety of the portal.

Just imagine, Prince Kale's main camp is at the Flower Planter's House, but Li Zhe has already gone to Oroshi. Will you send your main force to pursue him?

Li Zhe couldn't guarantee it, because the brain circuits of the demons were so weird.

.............

After hearing the explosion, Li Suwan seemed to have suddenly thought about it. She immediately gave up the driving seat to He Xiaoling and hid in the back to rest and prepare for a possible battle.

As time went by, explosions began to appear periodically around Yan Guo's mecha troops, and the intervals became shorter and shorter.

More than twenty young student pilots have now finally understood that the reason why they can continue to run is not just because they can tolerate fatigue and anxiety.

What's more, there was someone around me who silently carried the load and took on all the pressure for me.

"Now I want to announce something to everyone!"

Guo Kun's voice rang out from the communication channel that had been silent for a long time.

"We were pursued by the demons. The enemy was very powerful, and Teacher Muzi was behind to resist the enemy alone..."

"Now, the main force of the demons has caught up. The two instructors He Xiu and Keli are about to join the battle. The two instructors will not be able to lead the team for the next march..."

"According to the suggestions of several instructors, we will be led by Li Suwan and Quan Shuying as the rear guard. We will keep the entire team moving forward and running non-stop, leading everyone into the Grand Canyon of the East..."

"Li Suwan, you are now... our team leader!"

"........."

He Xiu and Yaoyao had already left Yan Kingdom's mecha team, and the pilots who suddenly lost their leader suddenly lost their leadership and all stopped.

Li Suwan looked at the direction in which the two instructors were leaving, biting her lips and remained silent.

She knew that the subsequent battle must be very dangerous, otherwise the proud teacher Muzi would not let He Xiu and Yaoyao join.

"Xiao Wan...everyone is waiting for you!"

"How about I drive first?"

He Xiaoling reminded her, and when she saw that Li Suwan didn't respond, she wanted to run first instead of Li Suwan.

But Li Suwan gave He Xiaoling a fierce look, pushed down the power throttle of the mecha, and the Warrior III suddenly started running.

"Follow us all. We can't help in the battle ahead. All we can do is speed up... We don't want to be a burden!"

Li Suwan shouted to her companions on the communication channel. There was a faint coercion in her clear voice, a hint of the majesty of a superior.

.........

The next dozen hours were the most difficult hours for Li Suwan and others to get through in their lives.

Because they saw the true face of interstellar warfare.

"Conquering the stars" is not only a great dream, but also a cruel game.

The large army of demons chased after them. The sound of intensive cannons and explosions were heard far and near, constantly surrounding Yan Kingdom's mecha team and biting them, just like a group of lions hunting a herd of migrating wildebeests.
