As the victory on the frontal battlefield gradually expanded, part of the command center's attention was transferred to other battlefields or war zones, and a small part was transferred to the pursuit battle where it no longer had any advantage.

"This Ji Xinghe has repeatedly violated military orders, so he should not be allowed to fly a mecha. He ignored the danger himself, and now he has brought Jackson into danger. Regardless of success or failure, he must be dealt with according to military law this time.

"

A major staff officer from Yingzhou spoke with an indifferent expression. His words were recognized by some people present, but others did not.

"But he is really strong. Colonel Rovich said last time that if physical fitness is not taken into account, Lieutenant Ji Xinghe's strength can be ranked in the top twenty among the more than 300 super mecha warriors currently in service." Someone hesitated.

Then he said: "Coupled with Major Jackson, who is also ranked in the top 20, they have a high chance of defeating the count-level imperial noble mecha."

Colonel Vladimirovich is the ace mecha warrior who held a meeting for more than a hundred special-level mecha warriors after the last battle in the canyon of Ji Galaxy, so his words will be believed by many people.

It sounds like being ranked in the top 20 among more than 300 people doesn't seem to be a big deal, but among the 300,000 active mecha warriors in the Federation, only more than 300 of them can be called special-level.

The concept of the top twenty is no longer limited to special-level ones. They can also be called the strongest under the ace, the ace mecha warriors of the future.

"You also know that it is possible? If it can be successfully defeated, it may be defeated. It is obvious that we can pursue it without damage and achieve complete victory. Why should we ask for risks?" The major staff officer of Yingzhou argued.

"But Lieutenant Ji Xinghe's analysis is correct. We also believe that if Team Xinghe, Major Harris, and Major Qin Tong continue to participate in the pursuit, the Imperial Earl will not be able to turn back. If it does not turn back, then we will not be able to catch up.

It." A major staff officer from Longzhou responded with a frown. He felt that there were some problems with the attitude of the staff officers from Yingzhou towards Ji Xinghe.

"If you can't catch up, don't chase. We have already lost one special-level in this battle. If something happens to Jackson again, it will be a serious battle loss for two special-levels. There is also Ji Xinghe, you all know his importance, even if

It was he who wanted to sacrifice himself, but he absolutely could not sacrifice in this way. His sacrifice should be more valuable."

If dying in a battle chasing an Imperial Count is not considered a valuable sacrifice, then what kind of sacrifice is valuable?

The Imperial Duke, who is stronger than the Count, cannot be dealt with by a special class like Ji Xinghe. Only the ace mecha warriors can deal with the Imperial Duke, and the Imperial Prince and royal family members who are stronger than the Duke, so far, cannot

Only Li Yuanba was able to defeat the mecha.

Under these preconditions, the value mentioned by Major Yingzhou's staff must be another form of sacrifice.

It doesn’t have to be a battle, and it doesn’t need to depend on the strength of the opponent, but it must be tragic enough.

Staff officer Major Long Zhou had an angry look on his face and said loudly: "Please note that we are only staff officers. We can only provide intelligence analysis results and opinions. We will not be subject to military orders abroad. Lieutenant Ji Xinghe and Major Jackson are on the battlefield.

, Major Harris, Major Qin Tong, they have clearer and more intuitive judgments."

"Soldiers must obey orders as their bounden duty. Any general who refuses to obey military orders abroad is, in the words of Longzhou, an evil spirit, sir." Major Yingzhou, the staff officer, looked at the commander standing in front of the holographic screen: "

I suggest that no matter whether Ji Xinghe's action this time is a success or a failure, he should be punished accordingly. An imperial earl is not important compared to the entire battle situation, and it is even less important compared to the lives of two super mecha warriors.

.”

Everyone looked at the commander. As the staff officer Major Longzhou said just now, these staff officers only have the power to make suggestions and do not have the power to directly command. As the saying goes, if the staff does not lead the commander, it will not make a sound.

The commander is from Yingzhou, which makes the Longzhou staff and related personnel present a little worried. In order to avoid the situation of each continent fighting on its own, the federal ground combat command system and related troops are mixed. It cannot be said that this

This method must be the best, but there is no absolute in anything. Every decision has its pros and cons, and we can only choose the one that is most beneficial to the entire federation.

"Let's talk about it after we finish."

The commander was noncommittal and continued to look at the screen. In the images captured by high-altitude reconnaissance satellites, due to the viewing angle, only the tops of the heads of the mechas could be seen, as well as the billowing smoke and dust they brought up as they ran.

There was nothing to see, so the commander ordered: "Cut away."

Then the scene was cut away, and many people who actually had no confidence in this battle continued to worry but at the same time seemed relieved. Perhaps, they didn't have to see with their own eyes that something happened to Major Jackson and Lieutenant Ji Xinghe.

But the screen was cut away instead of interrupted. Some people could still see the pursuit, but they didn't want to watch it because the three Imperial mechas reacted in a way they least wanted to see.

The two count-level Imperial mechas gave up on chasing Ji Xinghe's mechas and chose to turn around to confront Major Jackson, who was pursuing from further behind. The count-level imperial mecha finally stopped escaping and turned around to rush towards

Ji Xinghe charged alone.

Ji Xinghe, who wanted to seduce the Earl of the Empire by cutting off his arms, successfully brought himself and Jackson into real danger with a plan that seemed very childish to his staff in the command center.

…

"Old Ji, turn around."

Facing the charge of two Imperial mechas, Jackson showed no intention of evading. He made his judgment and decision in a split second: "Let's just kill them both."

With one against two, Jackson didn't have the slightest fear. What he was afraid of was Ji Xinghe, who had to face the Imperial Earl-class mecha alone. Judging from the distance between the two sides and the time it took him to deal with the two Imperial Viscount-class mechas,

There is no way Ji Xinghe can hold on.

When it's time to give up, you have to give up. Jackson understood this very well. He felt that people of Ji Xinghe's age should also understand, so he didn't say too much.

In fact, Ji Xinghe does understand very well, but he knows that Jackson actually does not understand. It has nothing to do with reason, but only with strength.

"three minutes."

Without saying much, Ji Xinghe just talked for a while and then began to express his attitude and plan with practical actions.

Ji Xinghe, who continued to charge, did not turn around and retreat, but made a slight turning maneuver. This caused a discrepancy between his charging direction and the empire's Earl-class mecha. If both sides continued to maintain this charging direction, then

They will pass by each other.

The moment the count-level imperial mecha turned around, it was sure that it would not let go of Ji Xinghe. It delayed Jackson, a federal super mecha warrior, at the expense of two viscount guards, in order to fight for it to defeat Ji Xinghe.

time.

As long as it gets a special level, it will not only have enough time to escape, but also have a chance to get rid of Jackson.

It defeated three federal special-grades in one battle. Even if it lost this battle and chose to escape, the corresponding consequences it would have to bear would not be too great.

With the same tiny turning maneuver, the Count's mecha once again turned into a direct charge against Ji Xinghe, and Ji Xinghe made another turning maneuver a second later, so the Count's mecha also made a second turning maneuver.

The third time, the fourth time...

As the two sides continued to maneuver, the distance got closer and closer. The Count's mecha, which had already escaped a certain distance, finally lost the advantage of escaping first.

On the other side, the angry Jackson finally faced two Jue mechas. He noticed that Ji Xinghe once again violated his orders as a major, but when he saw that Ji Xinghe did not die stupidly, he understood.

What does Ji Xinghe mean by three minutes?

He had three minutes to deal with the two Jue mechas, and then help Ji Xinghe deal with the count mechas.

The situation can be said to be constantly changing, from pursuing with an absolute advantage to pursuing after cutting off both arms, to being intercepted and surrounded by the enemy. Now the two sides have once again entered a state of balance because of Ji Xinghe's avoidance of the battle.

But the premise of the current balance of power is that Jackson can deal with the two Jue mechas within three minutes, and rush to Ji Xinghe's side to join forces with Ji Xinghe before the count mecha escapes again.

The worried Jackson no longer considered these issues. At this moment, only by going all out can he save Ji Xinghe and himself. Only by fully trusting Ji Xinghe, this pursuit will not end in an anticlimactic manner, and will not be defeated later.

People say that if you are arrogant, your army will be defeated.

war.

The battle of one against two is exciting, but it does not determine the outcome of this pursuit battle. The real key point lies in Ji Xinghe's one-on-one challenge. Facing a special Imperial Count-class mecha that can defeat him, he really

Can you last three minutes?

In fact, holding on for three minutes is just the beginning. If the Count's mecha finds that something is wrong, it will definitely turn around and run away again.

Therefore, Ji Xinghe cannot just avoid the battle, he must find a way to close the distance between the two sides and maintain it.

One minute passed quickly, and as both sides continued to maneuver, they finally had a substantial encounter.

The count's mecha, which used a mecha heavy sword, exploded in speed again after approaching Ji Xinghe, and slashed directly at Ji Xinghe's mecha with lightning speed. This change in speed did not exceed Ji Xinghe's.

It is expected that he knows more about the performance of different types of mechas in the empire than mecha warriors like Jackson.

At the beginning of the pursuit, he told Jackson and other special mecha warriors that the performance of his mecha was not as good as this Earl-level imperial mecha. The only mecha that could rival it was the exclusive mecha of Jackson and others.

The relevant parties in the Federation spent some resources to customize and modify the mecha that Ji Xinghe was good at using. However, just like Ji Xinghe's military rank, this kind of modification did not match his meritorious service and the number of gold stars he obtained.

This is not to blame the relevant parties, because the relevant parties never thought that Ji Xinghe would need to face this kind of battle. They just wanted Ji Xinghe to defeat ordinary imperial mechas on the battlefield to 'replenish' the number of Venus and passively participate in their

The ace warrior is building a mecha.

Ji Xinghe, who was passive, did not panic, because in his opinion, the difference in mecha performance could not directly determine the outcome of the battle. Just like his physical fitness was not comparable to that of the Imperial Earl, or even to Major Han Li.

Same as Major Jackson.

But Major Han Li and Major Jackson were defeated by him.

The damaged chain-type serrated knife was raised to meet him, but it was cut off directly at the moment of contact. The gap in weapon performance was clearly displayed at this moment. The simple-looking mecha heavy sword did not have high frequency.

It has the characteristics of oscillation, but the material it is made of is extremely special, making it far sharper than the weapons used by Ji Xinghe.

The mechas from both sides passed each other, Ji Xinghe broke a knife, and the count mecha charged again. It seemed that Ji Xinghe was at an absolute disadvantage, but in fact it was not a big problem.
