Chapter 635: Chapter 408: Just Watching the Play, Not Discussing State Affairs
“Oh?” Prince Xuyang on the stage obviously showed a smile, which indicated that he was in an excellent mood. Disregarding the exclamations of the woman beside him, he embraced a silk-clad beauty into his arms.
“Of course you can. Go, please ask Captain Huangchuan Xiong to come in for a talk.”
“Yes.” A soldier bowed and hurriedly ran out.
Such rare leisure time should be thoroughly enjoyed.
As for going to the scene to watch?
He really wanted to, but what he could be certain of was that the Federation definitely would not welcome him.
So the previous idea was just talk.
There was no dissatisfaction on his face, and beside him, Marshal Reingano had long since gotten used to it.
The Prince’s thoughts, even if they changed every minute, were not considered unusual.
Before long, a middle-aged man with a resolute face and bright eyes appeared at the door. Walking with a dragon’s stride and a tiger’s step, he reached the center of the hall.
He kneeled on one knee, with his right hand on his chest: “Huangchuan Xiong greets Your Highness.”
“No need for formalities. Clan Leader Huangchuan is well-informed and knowledgeable; you might as well join us to listen to Mr. Lin’s explanation.”
On the other side, Lin Wu got the signal from Prince Xuyang, nodded, and took out a chip to insert into the nearby light computer.
Moments later, a light screen unfolded in front of them, and the live broadcast of the interstellar mecha contest, open to the public, appeared among them.
Lin Wu operated it for a moment, and the screen instantly split in two. The live broadcast on the right continued, while the left side began to show a replay of some videos.
“This is the company’s representative mecha involved in the Planet Action Plan. Although the company’s scale is not large, its special metallurgy process produces a metal named Acabert Alloy, which possesses extremely excellent characteristics.”
…
“This mecha is called Extreme Special Soldier, rated as an A-Class Warrior, but as the company’s prototype mecha, it has tremendous potential, and there’s been no news about its engine technology.”
“Please look, here are some of the mecha’s body features shown in several battles. Its armor is currently known to have good resistance to both energy attacks and physical attacks, and it has characteristics similar to controlling gravity…”
No one knew, including Donatello and Gaoling Ze, that they were completely unaware that Lin Wu was now detailing their top-secret plans in minute detail to the Prince of the Gardot Empire.
When they saw the scene where the Extreme Special Soldier managed to hold a gigantic purple energy ball and then threw it back, and the scene where, after activating the Meteor 3 engine, the mecha floated in midair, with stones beneath its feet also levitating.
Marshal Reingano and Prince Xuyang on the stage suddenly exchanged glances. Then the owner of Black Knight said, “This engine… is ruins technology!”
“Marshal Reingano has a discerning eye,” Lin Wu said with a bow that was extremely proper, then continued, “However, although the Planet Action was progressing smoothly at the beginning, Young Master Tang of the Tang family has hit a snag, which is the pilot of this Extreme Special Soldier.”
The scene of Extreme Special Soldier R being dragged away played simultaneously.
“Up to now, three mecha from the Blue Capital Lan Du Military Group have fought, with two defeats. It can be said that Young Master Tang’s plan has already failed by more than half.”
“What you can now see in the live broadcast is the massive melee selecting the top thirty-six competitors. However, Your Highness need not worry, although that prototype was dragged away, without Young Master Tang’s knowledge, I still managed to get part of that added shell and have placed it in the cargo hold of the ship outside.”
“Thank you, Young Master Lin, for your contributions to the Empire.”
“All for the Empire!” Lin Wu’s response held no surprises.
At this time, on the right side of the live broadcast, the scene of Extreme Special Soldier challenging the Sky-splitting Bird was playing.
“This is the last mecha from Blue Capital Lan Du Military Group. If it is defeated, then the plan will have completely collapsed.”
Xuyang watched with interest the black mecha and its sniping action in the footage, and suddenly nodded in admiration, “His marksmanship is good, accurate, very accurate. Marshal Reingano, how many mecha guards can reach this level?”
“Reporting to Your Highness, no more than ten,” the giant of a man thought for a moment and replied.
“This mecha is very good, and the pilot’s level is high, but it’s a pity that they didn’t obtain the engine. It’s a good time to talk about the second matter.” The languid prince closed his eyes, enjoying the massaging of several pairs of small hands behind him, and said contentedly:
“Mr. Lin is an indispensable treasure to me, to the Empire! To ensure Mr. Lin’s personal safety, this time I will assign the second Sealing Abyss Deadpool, in hopes that Mr. Lin can serve the Empire better with her assistance. At the same time, with her there, Mr. Lin can completely try to obtain the data of that engine.”
Lin Wu looked up in amazement; he hadn’t finished talking about the first matter, so why had they suddenly jumped to the second matter?
Prince Xuyang, exuding an aura of languor, didn’t give Lin Wu a chance to think and clapped his hands, “Luo, come in and meet your new master.”
Luo? Lin Wu did not know which character this pronunciation referred to.
“As you command, Your Highness.” Before three seconds had elapsed, Lin Wu felt a cold female voice at his left ear:
“Sealing Abyss Deadpool, Luo, at your service, Master.”
Huh!?
Lin Wu’s eyes widened as he saw a person suddenly appear out of thin air beside him.
Silky black hair, fair complexion, and a fine figure all revealed that she was a cold beauty.
However, her eyes showed an extreme lack of emotion.
“Luo is a half-mechanized being, possessing the highest level of stealth ability currently available in the Empire, unmatched in her infiltration capabilities, and her mechanical construction gives her superhuman strength along with some unique skills. For specifics, Mr. Lin can inquire further in the upcoming interaction.”
“I am deeply grateful for Your Highness’s generous favor!” Lin Wu quickly knelt in panic.
The prince may have spoken lightly, but as a member of the Sealing Abyss Deadpools, how could she be an ordinary person?
Suppressing the excitement in his heart and trying to keep it from showing on his face, Lin Wu’s smile became even more sincere.
This indicated that he had taken another step forward in the prince’s inner circle.
As they continued to listen to Lin Wu’s explanation, they happened to see on the live broadcast to the right the moment when an Extreme Special Soldier cut the Sky-splitting bird in two.
Lin Wu bowed his head, “I have failed Your Highness; all three mechas of Lan Du Military have been annihilated, and the plan has failed.”
“There’s no need for self-reproach; this matter is not related to you, and there are still many self-righteous people in this world.”
Prince Xuyang waved his hand dismissively.
“Continue watching.”
“Yes!”
However, at that moment, an unexpected event occurred! A dark yellow mecha suddenly appeared in the live broadcast on the right, followed by earth-shaking violent shockwaves.
And the roar of Thunderhawk also echoed through the sky.
At this moment, two top-ranking fighters unleashed their mechas in a battle for the ages.
The live broadcast Lin Wu and the others were watching, even without any color enhancements, started to have a circle of red flashing incessantly.
“Warning, high-level invasion mecha body detected, competition is temporarily suspended, please evacuate all participants immediately!”
“Repeat, please evacuate all participants immediately!”
Lin Wu’s expression truly changed this time, as he had not expected a regular competition to suddenly be interrupted by the appearance of such a mecha.
As for Marshal Reingano, a gleam suddenly appeared in his eyes.
“It’s Andumari, one of the seventy-two Gatepost Knights, the Strangling Demon Snake!”
“I recognize that mecha, our old adversary, Thunderhawk,” said Prince Xuyang, excitement evident in his eyes. In the Gardot Empire, Ruan Xiongfei’s renown was even greater than in the Federation.
The people of the Gardot Empire respected the martial spirit and always held a natural admiration for the strong, regardless of friend or foe.
Who could have expected a simple mecha competition to lure over a Gatepost Knight from Solomon?
“Ah, Mr. Lin, we may need to alter our plan a bit. Indeed, in front of S-class pinnacle mechas, ordinary mechas, no matter how strong, are of little consequence,” Xuyang lamented as he shook his head.
“This…”
Lin Wu was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
“Haha, just kidding, Mr. Lin, no need to worry, Luo will still protect your personal safety. Let’s halt the explanations for the next few minutes; I confess, now I am indeed interested in this competition… it’s quite spectacular.”
“I really want to witness this Super Series mecha battle. With such an exciting live broadcast, it’s a rarity that comes only once every ten years, ha ha ha ha.” Xuyang laughed heartily, prompting Marshal Reingano to also smile.
Not a single person suggested going to support Solomon, nor did anyone think that the enemy of our enemy is our friend.
Because no one present was a fool; if Prince Xuyang had made such remarks, there must be a reason for it.
“I am rather looking forward to seeing the Federation’s next move now; let’s closely observe the Federation military’s planetary defense level. Today we are merely spectators; we won’t discuss state affairs.”
“As you command.” Everyone said in unison.
