go off fire

Accompanied by a gentle kiss, a pair of arms came together, but what responded to Christine was not Leonard's joy, but panic.

His slack body trembled violently, followed by a crisp echo of metal hitting the ground. The two watched the silver ring roll away and hit the corner of the wall. After a few buzzing sounds, they finally made peace. Lying on the dark gray ground.

Leonard quickly put away his wave-like expression and got up to pick it up, but Christine pressed his shoulder without any trace.

Christine bent down, picked up the silver ring from the corner of the wall, and handed it back to Leonard.

Leonard took it silently, not knowing how to answer it for a while.In just a few days, too many things happened, too many things, even he couldn't figure it out, it was like standing on the edge of a cliff, facing the huge waves, with nowhere to escape.

"I know you've never forgotten," Christine said at last.

Leonard held the ring tightly in his palm, turned his head, not daring to meet Christine's gaze.

"But I won't blame you for the past." Christine sat next to Leonard and said softly, "The past made us who we are today. I love you, so of course I will accept your past."

Leonard looked at his husband in shock, with gratitude and guilt in his heart, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

"But I hope there won't be so many concealments between us." The lieutenant general's gentle brown eyes fixed on Leonard, "You know that secrets always hurt."

"Yes." Leonard said, finally calmed down, "A lot of things have happened in the past few days. That Harry Made, I almost caught him."

The lieutenant general blinked quickly, and his pupils trembled a few times, obviously realizing that the next content was very critical: "Then?"

"He used the Midgard as a threat, so I let him go." Leonard's expression became tangled.

"I know I shouldn't say these things. This may send me to a court-martial again, and make you my accomplice..." He hugged his head in distress, and inserted his fingers into his short hair , messing up the hairstyle.

"Reynard!" Christine turned him over and forced him to look at him, "Listen, it's not your fault."

"It's not your fault." He repeated in his calm but soft voice, "It's the only choice you can make. I would have made the same choice."

He hugged his distressed husband and patted his back, "Go to bed early. I know you've been tired lately."

Leonard nodded silently, but an unnoticeable light flashed in his dark eyes.

Confessing to Christine, his current life would collapse, and he couldn't do it no matter what, but how long could a relationship built on the foundation of deceit last?A trace of anxiety flashed in Leonard's heart.

The current Christine is the same as he was back then, blinded by his own feelings, and only believes in the "truth" he wants to believe, but the feelings will always cool down, and everything will always come to light.

But fortunately, unlike Levi, he is not ready to continue betraying Christine.

Levi, let this name forever be buried in the ruins of his heart, until death takes him away.

The arrival of the prince set off a storm in the life of Lieutenant Colonel Leonard Summers. This storm broke his originally silent life and sent him back to the Elite he dreamed of. See, it's also hard to judge whether it's good or bad.

But one thing is for sure, Lieutenant Colonel Summers won't stop there.Five years ago, he tried his best to clean up the wreckage and climb up. Five years later, these things will only strengthen his determination to move forward.

"Double his training." Luna Smith closed Leonard's fitness report and gave a new order.

"But sir." Nicholas argued, "The amount of training he has endured now has exceeded the limit of ordinary team members."

"Is he an ordinary team member?" Luna said angrily, "I haven't piloted a mech for five years, and his physical function has degraded too much. To catch up in a short time, we have to strengthen training. The task is not to wait for anyone." of."

That is much higher than the average player.Nicholas thought silently, although his face remained expressionless.

"Yes, sir."

Evansted has entered the middle of the night, and even the busiest Sunset Boulevard is gone, but there is still a person fighting hard in the training ground of Base Zero, which is 389 meters below the ground.

Leonard stared at the target in front of him, punching, punching again, as if he never got tired, the dull sound of his fist hitting the sandbag filled the silent space.

Beads of sweat slid down his naked upper body, outlining the graceful curves of his muscles.

"Practice [-] times, if you don't improve, it's just a waste of effort."

"Luna?" Leonard stopped the swinging sandbag and looked at the major general who walked into the training ground in surprise.

"Call me sir." The woman said, one hand neatly unbuttoned her neckline, and stepped into the training platform separated by ropes.

"Yes, sir." Leonard immediately changed his words.

The major general threw away his corseted military jacket, leaving only a shirt on his upper body. He posed and looked at the surprised Lieutenant Colonel Leonard with displeasure: "There are no rules. Throw away your gloves. , Lieutenant Colonel, now I am your opponent."

Leonard put away his surprise, his expression turned serious, he took off his boxing gloves, lowered his body weight slightly, and set his eyes on Luna.

The female officer raised her right shoulder slightly, and Leonard judged that she would throw a right fist first, avoiding it to the left, but followed by a sharp left fist, the lieutenant colonel chose to block, but not counterattack.

"Don't underestimate your enemy!" Luna shouted loudly, followed by a flying kick, and the edge of the military boot barely scratched Leonard's side face, immediately leaving a red mark on his face.

The pain was burning hot, Leonard took a step back, and wiped the side of his face with his arm.

"Have you been working in the logistics department for too long?"

While mocking, Luna attacked again.Leonard defended subconsciously. Hearing this sentence, he raised his eyes and met the sharp look in Luna's eyes.

"It's not long enough to forget everything." He folded his arms, blocked Luna's fist, and then continued to move forward, using the attack to push back the opponent's attack.

"On the battlefield, men, women and children, all want your life." Luna said again, the offensive was still fierce.

"I know." Leonard said, a cross elbow hit Luna's ribs, the female officer swiftly dodged and stood opposite Leonard.

"From now on, you are no longer the captain of the fifth team, you are a member of the seventh team, recognize your position. Disobedience like last time is absolutely not allowed." Luna said solemnly.

Leonard realized the approval revealed in Luna's words, and immediately stood upright: "Yes, sir!"

"It's too late, let's rest." Luna flipped off the training platform, picked up the jacket that was thrown aside, and put it back on her body casually.

"I'm sorry about Steve." Leonard, who was standing in the distance, said suddenly.

The lights were dim, and the surroundings were silent. Luna's footsteps were slightly blocked. She turned her head to draw a delicate outline from the light, but finally turned and left without saying anything.

Time flies by.

Two months later, on a certain frontier planet, in the hinterland of the desert.

"Dawn" has been lurking in the yellow sand for three hours, waiting for the arrival of the target.

According to reliable news, the leader of the group of interstellar pirates "Dead Soul" will conduct an illegal transaction with another unknown force who came to the party in 10 minutes.And the task of the seventh team this time is to capture the leader of the "dead soul", and at the same time, capture the other party who came to trade and intercept their goods.

The only thing ambushing here is "Dawn," a mecha. Since only the fifth-generation mecha driven by Leonard in the seventh team has anti-reconnaissance functions, the mission of the pioneer undoubtedly falls on his head. .

Lieutenant Colonel Leonard checked the various data of the mecha, making final preparations for the attack.The time entered the countdown of 3 minutes, and a small dot appeared above the light curtain, which was the spacecraft that was about to land. Leonard held his breath and prepared to attack.

At the same time, the battleship of the seventh team, the Midgard, was in the valley 500 kilometers away, waiting for him to send a signal to capture the pirate's base.

"Unknown mecha, unknown mecha."

Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the cockpit. Correspondingly, a small dot appeared on the light curtain. Leonard quickly zoomed in on the image. The extra dot turned out to be an unfamiliar black and red mecha. , compared to spaceships, mechs are smaller and harder to detect.

Leonard immediately began to compare the database in an attempt to find out the model of this mecha, but the system actually showed that the model of this mecha could not match the current data—that is to say, this mecha did not belong to a member of the alliance. As far as any of the fourth-generation mechs, it is likely to be a fifth-generation prototype developed by a certain country, just like Suguang.

This is impossible!Leonard opened his eyes wide and looked at the image in front of him in disbelief. Although large interstellar pirate gangs can often obtain new weapons from various channels, they are absolutely unable to compete with the country.

No, don't panic.After the initial surprise, Leonard gradually calmed down and began to collect information about this mecha, and sent the information back to the Midgard.

"Bridge, this is Dawn, and an unknown mecha was found."

"Received." Scott's voice came over, and then Luna's poker face also appeared on the light curtain, "The 'Dawn' part is implemented as originally planned. 'Crimson' has already set off, ready to support."

"Yes!"

Leonard turned his gaze back to the light curtain of the monitor—not far away, the spaceship had already landed, three people walked down the gangway of the spaceship, and the desert armored vehicle of "Dead Soul" also stopped in the open space in front of the spaceship.

The leader of the "dead souls" climbed out of the roof of the armored vehicle with a black box in hand, and stood opposite the trader.They exchanged each other's boxes in silence, and at the same time, the huge black and red mech stood beside everyone, like a silent warrior.

Leonard held the power control lever with one hand, and was about to start it, but his heartbeat suddenly became frenzied, and it exploded in his ears.The pilot's sixth sense on the battlefield is always extremely accurate, Leonard's subordinates froze and frowned.

The black and red mech seemed to have noticed the slight movement here, and the monitor above his head looked in his direction.

Suddenly, the mecha issued a signal to evacuate, and the two groups of people who had finished the transaction immediately ran back holding the boxes.

If you let them leave like this, then the mission will be declared a failure, it is better to strike first.He glanced at Crimson's position, and Nicholas will arrive here in 1 minute, as long as the mecha is dragged, everything will be solved.

Can't let them get away!Leonard gritted his teeth and pushed the joystick violently. The propulsion port of "Dawn" instantly ejected blue flames, pushing the entire body out of the thick sand layer. For a while, yellow sand flew all over the sky.

Leonard swept his eyes, and quickly locked on the armored vehicle and spaceship where the leader was. He manipulated the mecha and raised his hand to shoot twice. One shot accurately hit the armored vehicle where the boss of "Dead Soul" was. Unfortunately, he failed to shoot through the armor. The car shook and continued to drive forward. The other two armored vehicles had raised their muzzles and were ready to fight back.

Another shot grazed the hull of the spaceship, and the spaceship that was about to leave the ground suddenly looked like a bird with broken wings. The hull suddenly tilted, and the speed of flying away was greatly reduced.

Seeing that the surprise attack failed, Leonard fired another shot at the spaceship. This time, the black and red mecha blocked it with its shield in time, and the spaceship that survived the catastrophe tremblingly accelerated.

Before Leonard could continue his attack, the artillery fire from the armored vehicle was approaching. He dodged immediately, but was bullied by the black and red mecha.

30 seconds.

Facing the approaching mecha, Leonard immediately turned his gun, and the heavy mortar on his shoulder fired in front of him, forcing the opponent to retreat.

But the enemy pilot did not let go. The opponent manipulated the mecha, flexibly dodged, raised his hand, and shot through the leg of "Dawn".

The shock immediately spread to the center of the mech, and Leonard, who was sitting in the cockpit, was not spared either. He quickly entered commands on the operating system with both hands to regain his balance.

In just a few seconds, the black and red mech had turned around and flew away. The opposing pilot seemed to have no intention of entangled with "Dawn", and only wanted to protect the spaceship to evacuate safely.

Leonard seized this gap and attacked the weak parts of the three desert armored vehicles, forcing them to stop moving. At this time, Crimson had also arrived and joined the battle.Heavy cannons were aimed at the interstellar pirates who were still trying to abscond.Now, finally, the only opponent left is the black and red mecha.

"Leave the dead soul to me, and you go chase the other party." Nicholas sent a message.

"Yes, sir." Leonard accepted the order, increased his power, and chased after him.

Soon, they had reached an altitude of more than ten kilometers above the ground, and they were about to break through the planet's atmosphere. While controlling the balance of the body, Leonard kept shooting at the opponent's spaceship in an attempt to slow down the spaceship—— Entering the cosmic vacuum, it is impossible to catch up with this small spaceship with the speed of the mecha, and the winner must be decided in the atmosphere.

Suddenly, the black and red mech slowed down, reversed direction and flew towards Shuguang.
