The Corn Cannon had an extremely long range.
A single bullet almost struck the temporary command post of the rebel forces, scaring them so much that they hastily withdrew their headquarters five li away.
They stared at that pink figure, their expressions like blank sheets of paper, all emotions scoured away by shock, leaving only hollow gazes and silent questions.
Is this right?!
Do you even remember that you’re just a second-generation beast-type mech?!
How can you perform like a heavy-armed fortress?!
My black hole! Damn it, that cunning Federal military, actually hiding such a big killer!
“I remember now! I once heard an Empire Major complain that the Federation sent a secret weapon to Moluo Star and even destroyed one of the Empire’s secret bases there. The Federal soldiers on the Sixth New Ring all called him the Bug God!”
Another rebel officer’s expression turned grim: “I also heard Lisa from the Iron Meteor Armed Group say they encountered an attack from a pink beetle mech. The opponent was terrifying, extremely powerful, and seemed to prefer solo operations.”
Case closed.
This pink beetle mech, descending like a god from an unknown origin, was indeed the Federal secret weapon that had appeared on Moluo Star.
Ha, shameless and despicable Federal military!
The rebels’ attitude towards the pink beetle mech grew increasingly cautious.
The enemy’s weapon range far exceeded their imagination, forcing the rebels to withdraw from the high ground they had just captured and retreat more than ten kilometers away to ensure a safe distance.
When various Federal support units, carrying heavy hearts, rushed to the Grand Canyon, the scene before them left everyone at a loss.
From the communicator came the command center’s tense and urgent voice: “What’s the situation at the Grand Canyon? Any survivors? Is the pink mech… still alive?”
The commander of the 7th Division, who had rushed to reinforce and had been fighting fiercely against the rebels, looked at the pink mech with its shiny exterior, arrogantly unleashing firepower, then turned his head to look at his own battered troops, his expression complex.
“The situation is difficult to describe in words. You’d better see for yourselves.”
Real-time battlefield footage was transmitted to the Federal command center.
The commander showed a look of astonishment, as if wanting to say something, but could only hang his jaw slightly, like an unfinished painting.
Well, this…
Is it reasonable for one single mech to suppress an entire rebel army group?
If this footage hadn’t been sent by the 7th Division, the commander would definitely have thought it was the enemy’s plot.
Commander of the 7th Division: “Reporting, sir. Please issue new instructions.”
At this moment, if the 7th Division charged forward, would the pink beetle mech think they were trying to steal its credit?
It seemed that this formidable force could single-handedly hold the entire Grand Canyon.
Other Federal units only needed to block any rebel forces attempting to reinforce.
The Federal commander was just about to scold the 7th Division commander for having water in his brain, but then remembered that Lin Xiaohe was sitting inside that pink mech.
Maybe Lin Xiaohe wanted to make a great contribution to run for the student council after entering the Central Military Academy?
“Can you contact the pink mech?”
7th Division Commander: “Yes, we brought anti-jamming equipment.”
The commander’s gaze drifted slightly: “Ask her if she wants to take a break?”
The 7th Division commander’s mind worked quickly, and he actually added the command center and the “god-like” pilot into a group chat.
Whoever suggested the idea should be the one to ask.
The commander, put on the spot, took a deep breath and asked in the gentlest tone he had never used in his life.
“Second Lieutenant Lin, your mission is successfully completed. Do you want to continue fighting at the Grand Canyon, or return to Bird God Star first?”
Lin Xiaohe was almost in tears.
Her skill points, her star coins, and her Candy!
Lin Xiaohe’s face was full of exhaustion, her voice hoarse: “Reporting, sir. My ammunition is nearly depleted. Requesting permission to rejoin the unit.”
The 7th Division commander was deeply shaken, a hint of envy in his heart.
This is a Federal soldier, a Federal ace! Even with her ammunition running low, she didn’t retreat a single step!
How touching, what a spirit worthy of praise.
The 7th Division commander stated firmly: “Second Lieutenant Lin, please rest assured. Even if the 7th Division fights to the last man, we will hold the Grand Canyon!”
The commander…
You really have no regard for the command center, do you.
The commander coughed twice and issued the order: “Second Lieutenant Lin, someone will come shortly to pick you up and evacuate you and the surviving soldiers from the Grand Canyon. The Federation thanks you for your bloody struggle.”
Lin Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief. Candy would soon be forced into shutdown, the Five-Star Matrix would also become ineffective, and her combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. There was really no need to stay on the battlefield.
“Okay, sir. The examinees near the hiding spot also need to be evacuated.”
The 7th Division commander volunteered: “Second Lieutenant Lin, just leave this small matter to us.”
…
On the transport ship, Lin Xiaohe received unprecedented enthusiastic hospitality.
The soldiers on the ship lined up the best nutrient solutions and electronic cigarettes, placing them in front of Lin Xiaohe for her to choose from.
Eber, holding a cloth in one hand and mech-specific cleaning solution in the other, eyes shining with fanatical light, carefully polished the pink mech.
“Eber, let us help you.” The examinees from the Fifth Star Ring watched with envy.
“No, no, no! I can do it alone!” Eber refused decisively.
He loved cleaning mechs; he could clean it until the end of time!
The examinees from the Fifth Star Ring lowered their heads in disappointment.
Once, an opportunity lay before them, but they didn’t cherish it.
Only upon losing it did they regret it. This is the most painful thing in the world.
If heaven could give them another chance, they would have clung tightly to Lin Xiaohe’s leg the moment they first met!
“Ahem, well… I mean…” Wesley shuffled step by step, slowly moving closer to Lin Xiaohe, awkwardly squeezing out a thank you!
Lin Xiaohe was truly tired, her eyelids were fighting each other: “If you want to express gratitude…”
“I know, transfer, right!” Wesley flicked his finger, and 1 million star coins transferred to Lin Xiaohe’s account.
Wesley muttered quietly: “You’re clearly so capable and kind-hearted, why do you have to pretend to be money-grubbing? If it were my brother Hal, he definitely wouldn’t have bothered with me. Let me tell you, my life is worth much more than 1 million. Once my mother gets here…”
Wesley stopped talking. Lin Xiaohe beside him had already leaned back in her seat and fallen asleep.
Her hair was sticky, plastered against her small face, looking quite disheveled.
But no one present thought she looked anything less than impressive.
Because this was the badge of the battlefield, it was honor.
Everyone tacitly lightened their movements, wanting her to sleep more peacefully.
Anyone who has experienced combat knows how happy it is to get a good sleep afterward.
Wesley silently stood guard beside Lin Xiaohe.
At this moment, in his heart, the figure of the adult he once admired had been replaced by Lin Xiaohe, piloting the pink beetle mech.
