Upon returning to the Dragon Breaker Army's base, Jufeng's first task was to immerse himself in the Mecha Simulation Room with Shen Lu for five hours. By the time they emerged, Romain was drenched in sweat, as if he had just come out of a sauna.
Whether it was an emotional release or not, it certainly contributed to his understanding of mechs. Previously, Romain knew that hand speed and physical capabilities were crucial for operating mechs, but under Shen Lu's guidance, he learned that mastering the rhythm of the mech was even more important.
In fact, once a pilot reached Crimson Rank, they began to grasp the threshold of rhythm. By the mid-levels, pilots like Romain and Cao Ke had already developed their own rhythm during combat. The next level of mastery involved entering and controlling another's rhythm.
In the past, Romain would never have dared to think about such things, but now he realized that they were not insurmountable obstacles.
Although Shangguan Wangyu had ordered a full-scale war, there would be some delays in both slogans and actions. Moreover, as a new commander, Romain needed to reorganize and deploy the troops. For now, the front lines were still under the command of General Zhang Huwei.
Going to war was no trivial matter; only when Cao Ke led his vast army to the city gates could one truly feel the weight of those words—full-scale war.
The current military was far from the wildness it had during the initial expansion into Interstellar Space. After over a century of stability, they had tasted the sweetness of peace, and no one wanted to fall back into the clutches of war.
With the call for full-scale war sounded, it truly meant boundless flames of conflict. In this tense atmosphere, people needed time to adapt to the rhythm of war. During this period, aside from learning and practicing mecha piloting with Senior Brother Shen Lu, Romain's most important task was engaging in military discussions with Ikeda Kenji, Ouyang Chang, Xiao Ji, and Pan An.
However, the brutality of war was escalating rapidly, and such days were numbered.
Military bases typically had medical facilities, and an army like the Dragon Breaker Army boasted top-notch medical conditions.
Liu Xing had been lying in bed for ten days. Although his injuries were severe, he could have gotten up long ago. However, his fierce girlfriend vehemently disagreed with him getting out of bed, so he willingly stayed by Chuyang's side.
Peeling a sweet orange, Chuyang carefully fed Liu Xing piece by piece. Feeling the softness of her fingers and a hint of refreshing fragrance made Liu Xing's cheeks flush with warmth.
"Did you hear? Dad and the others are leaving?"
Liu Xing casually asked, but in reality, he hoped to steer Chuyang toward that topic.
How could the clever and spirited Chuyang not understand Liu Xing's intentions? She pouted her crimson lips and said with a hint of reproach, "You need to recover from your injuries before you can go out, at least... for another ten days."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but smile wryly. For martial artists, the hardest time in the world was lying on a sickbed, unable to move. Their muscles were accustomed to vigorous activity, and suddenly being still made them feel uncomfortable all over.
Chuyang thought about the war, about their opponents, about those days spent imprisoned by Shangguan Wangyu, and her expression grew somewhat sorrowful.
Liu Xing and Chuyang had always been inseparable, so they were deeply attuned to each other's feelings. As soon as Chuyang fell silent, Liu Xing sensed that something was off.
He knew what Chuyang was grieving over, and his expression turned serious. The person he hated most in his life was indeed Shangguan Wangyu.
" Chuyang, don't worry. I will definitely avenge you."
As long as a villain like Shangguan Wangyu was alive, Chuyang would continue to suffer. Whether from a sense of justice or personal vendetta, he deserved to die.
However, Chuyang unexpectedly shook her head and quickly said, "That's not what I meant, Star... You don't need to take risks for me."
Liu Xing noticed that Chuyang's expression fluctuated between light and dark, unsure of what exactly troubled her. After spending so much time alone with Shangguan Wangyu, perhaps it was the fact that Shangguan Wangyu had captured Chuyang that caused her such unease.
The matter regarding the chip was known only to Jufeng, Vera, and Liu Xing. During the days spent rescuing Chuyang, the three had tacitly agreed not to bring it up again. But that didn't mean nothing had happened.
Liu Xing sat up in bed. No matter what happened, he would love Chuyang unconditionally; thus, he would respect her wishes and face everything without fear.
" Chuyang, are you remembering something?"
Liu Xing kindly asked, but Chuyang seemed startled by the question. She hurriedly explained, "No, no, I don't know anything, I don't know anything at all."
Chuyang's hand, holding a segment of orange, trembled slightly, revealing her deep unease.
Liu Xing slowly reached out and took Chuyang's hand, pulling her into his embrace.
He spoke tenderly, " Chuyang, don't be afraid. No matter how big the situation is, I am here by your side, and Dad is here to shield us from the storm. Really, don't worry; everything will pass. It will all pass."
Chuyang quietly leaned against Liu Xing's chest, feeling an unprecedented sense of security. Once upon a time, they were just innocent children, yet somehow, growing up had come so suddenly.
Chuyang nodded like a chick pecking at rice, telling her inner anxiety not to disturb her anymore; she would let it all go.
...
As the war dragged on for half a month, the front lines that had been holding on desperately finally began to waver.
This was due to an unexpected fact that shocked the world: Shangguan Wangyu had personally taken command on the battlefield.
No one could reconcile the refined Shangguan Wangyu in the office with the battle-hardened Shangguan Wangyu on the front lines because the contrast was too stark. However, Shangguan Wangyu proved through action that his military acumen was just as sharp as his business intellect.
In his very first battle upon arriving at the front lines, he decisively defeated the United Forces and single-handedly piloted a mech to strike deep into enemy territory, beheading a seasoned Commander.
What does it mean for one person to penetrate deep into enemy lines amidst thousands? It was a scene that even high-tech blockbusters could hardly portray with such impact.
Shangguan Wangyu can pilot a mech? This was the first question that popped into people's minds. But then they found it somewhat amusing; after all, his family produced mechs for generations. How could he not know how to operate one?
No one had noticed this matter in the thirty years prior.
Shangguan Wangyu rose to fame in a single battle, revealing an undeniable truth to the world—he not only mastered mechs but was also exceptionally skilled at it.
A legend circulated among the people, as Cao Ke privately told his subordinates.
"Many people ask me why I willingly work under the Crown Prince. Is it for money? Of course not. Because I know better than you all that the Crown Prince's military power surpasses mine."
"Many believe I am the one most likely to reach the pinnacle of mech mastery, yet it is with great embarrassment that I admit someone has already achieved that peak before me."
"Crimson Rank Upper Tier, indeed, that is Shangguan Wangyu."
