nebula story

It was probably because the small pastries baked by the court bakers were too delicious. After going to bed that night, Chesu slept extremely soundly like never before.

The next afternoon, when he showed up at the royal private small mech training ground at four o'clock on time, Chesu, who was dressed in white, looked extraordinarily radiant.The sun that had already turned to the west became less blazing, and the soft light shone on the side of the training field, plating a light golden orange on his body who stood quietly.

His Royal Highness Fern, who was rushing down from the special car, stepped into the training ground, and what he saw was the scene where the exclusive mechanic he personally selected turned his head to look at him.

The young man with picturesque eyebrows and focused expression was dressed in sunshine, tall and straight, quietly waiting for his arrival under the huge and mighty mecha, it seemed that he had waited for a long time, and it seemed that he had just looked back.

So at that moment, the followers around suddenly felt that His Royal Highness Fern, who had always been stern and serious, showed a kind of gentle expression that was different from usual.

Walking towards Chesu quickly, His Highness Fern, the sole heir to the throne of the empire, was tall and straight like a god in the sun. Looking down at Chesu, his expression was gentle, but his heart was agitated slightly: "I'm here. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, Your Highness." Chesu shook his head, "I've only been here for 10 minutes, and I happened to chat with His Highness Lance."

Slightly taken aback, His Royal Highness Fern noticed that the two mechas were standing still quietly. Where were Lance and Fan Zhong, who were supposed to go to the sky for training?

"His Highness Lance is sitting in his mecha and is familiar with the console." Chesu's expression showed a bit of mischievous sympathy, "His partner, student Fan Zhong, a mechanic...hasn't come yet."

"What's the matter?" His Highness Fern was extremely surprised, and stepped up to the No. [-] mech, and reached out and knocked the knee joint of the leg of the standing mecha.The tiny vibration was transmitted to the cockpit of the mecha through the joint linkage device. Lance saw him through the mechanical window of the chest, opened the gangway from the inside, turned over and jumped off.

"Where is Fan Zhong, does he really dare to disobey the order of the military department and not come?" Fern's face was indifferent, not angry but mighty, "Even if there is a big grievance, he dares to make an exception in front of the imperial military order?"

"No more." Lance smiled awkwardly, "I asked the military department to suspend the approval of his application, so he said that he is waiting for the military department's approval, and he will not come today."

Looking at him thoughtfully, His Royal Highness Fern didn't know what he was thinking.

Raising his eyebrows for a while, he reached out his hand to the guard behind him, took the encrypted communicator he handed over, and dialed a certain number: "I am His Royal Highness Fern. . . . Lieutenant Zhong’s application for transfer is now rejected by me, and I ordered him to rush to the Imperial Palace mecha training ground immediately. Tell him, if you don’t show up for 10 minutes, you don’t need to show up again in the imperial army.”

"Brother Huang!" Lance looked at Fern dumbfounded, and was a little anxious, "If you continue to order like this, Fan Zhong will hate me to death!"

"Are you going to lose him here, or keep him by your side and recover slowly?" His Highness Fern looked at him coldly, "I assure you, this is the only way you can keep him!"

Lance smiled wryly and was speechless.Yes, although Brother Huang's actions are overbearing, but... If this method is not used, Fan Zhong's personality will probably be irreparable, right?

Sure enough, a few 10 minutes later, a military jeep sped fast and stopped suddenly on the outside of the training ground from the official road in the distance. Fan Zhong's handsome and arrogant face was exposed from the window, and he trotted into the training ground. A look of unbearable anger.

Looking indifferently at the two princes standing side by side, Fan Zhong gritted his teeth and gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Report to your Highnesses, Fan Zhong, the captain of the Mechanic Special Training Team, has been ordered to report for duty!"

"Captain Fanzhong, you don't have to anger Brother Lance, it's my order." His Highness Fern looked at him and said seriously, "No matter what grievances you have, please restrain them during training. If you can't accept it, then Please retire immediately, the imperial army does not need soldiers who resist orders at will."

"Report Your Highness, Fan Zhong cannot afford such a crime." Looking straight at His Highness Fern sharply, Fan Zhong's blue eyes did not back down, "As an imperial soldier, I understand that obedience is my bounden duty! No one gave me a definite answer, so my act of standing by was not a disobedience to military orders."

"In this case, let's train together with His Highness the Third Highness." His Highness Fern said lightly, and glanced at Lance.

Turning his head towards Chesu, Fern looked slightly relaxed: "Shall we start training too?"

Glancing quietly at the angry Fan Zhong, Chesu looked back at the embarrassed Lance step by step.

Glancing at him, His Royal Highness Fern suddenly stretched out his hand to grab his hand, and walked quickly towards the other mecha: "Corporal Chesu, can you start your own training?"

Chesu whispered: "But Senior Lance and the others..."

"Lance must be fine." His Royal Highness Fern raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly. "But you, if you don't keep your attention, I will worry that the two of us will fall from the sky together!"

Embarrassed, he quickly looked away, Chesu murmured softly, "No, I will be very attentive."

Standing in front of the No. [-] mecha, His Royal Highness Fern reached out and opened the unencrypted mecha cabin door start button, and was about to climb up the rapidly ejected gangway, but was suddenly pulled back by Chesu behind him!

"Your Highness, wait a minute!"...

"What?" Fern turned around in astonishment, and stopped on the gangway.

Chesu stared closely at the mecha in front of him, with serious and nervous expression on his face.

Looking at the two shining silver "Number One" marks on the mecha, he frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly turned around and ran towards Lance's mecha!

"Chesu?" His Highness Fern was behind him with a cold face, and a burst of anger welled up in his heart.At this time, he actually dared to run to Lance!

Ignoring him, Chesu ran to the No. [-] mecha, carefully identified it, and then ran back quickly with a face full of vigilance: "Your Highness, there may be something wrong with your mecha!"

Pointing to the silver label on the fuselage, he was very serious: "Do you know that these two mechas have exchanged labels?"

With a strange look on his face, His Royal Highness Fern opened his mouth, resentfully: "... I don't know."

"If you don't know, that's a big problem. I can confirm that the labels of the two mechas have been swapped. Although the coating has been carefully scratched and repainted, it looks like a perfect camouflage, but just yesterday, There are no such traces yet!"

After a while of silence, His Royal Highness Fern reluctantly asked: "So?"

"Your Highness, no one would dare to do such a thing without your consent. If you don't know, then I doubt it?"

Thinking nervously, Chesu's beautiful brows suddenly loosened: "Is there someone who intends to harm His Highness? I know that there is no problem with the test drive of the No. [-] armor yesterday. I will definitely not check it again today, so I put something in it." Things, and forged the label overnight?"

……

"What can you put?" His Royal Highness Fern's expression became even weirder.

Not far away, the face of the head of the guard, Wood, was not much better. He looked at the pitted ground of the training ground carefully, and lamented in his heart.

Master Chesu, your eyes are too poisonous, you can see it all!

"Bomb? Or poisonous gas?..." Chesu guessed hesitantly.

Looking at him speechlessly, His Royal Highness Fern suddenly gritted his teeth and turned around, flew up the gangway, and went straight into the open chest side door of the mecha!

Chesu's face turned pale with fright, and without thinking he also crawled in: "Your Highness, it's dangerous! Don't go in!"

Sitting upright in the combatant's driver's seat on the right, His Royal Highness Fern squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand to press the door closing button. The mechanism was activated, and the door closed silently. The neat and new cabin of the mech was completely sealed and completely isolated from the outside world. .

Frowning and looking at Chesu, His Royal Highness Fern's eyes flashed with dazzling brilliance: "Didn't you say it was dangerous, why did you follow here?"

"I'm your partner..." Chesu blurted out and muttered.

Immediately afterwards, he no longer cared about looking at His Royal Highness Fern, he bent down and checked everything in detail, and after a while he turned around with a confused look on his face, "There seems to be nothing wrong with it."

Watching him, His Royal Highness Fern said slowly: "Chesu..."

"Hmm, Your Highness?" Chesu looked at him in confusion, the half-smile expression on the face of His Highness the Crown Prince in front of him was really rare!

"First, there is no one in this palace who can cheat the sky and throw bombs into my special mecha." His Highness Fern said slowly, "Second, I am very happy that you are so vigilant. Third, knowing that here Dangerous, but still willing to run in with me, I am even happier..."

Opening his mouth to look at Fern, Chesu was still troubled: "But, the label was really carefully altered, I'm sure."

"The label was changed by me." His face was a little embarrassed and unnatural, His Highness Fern pretended to be relaxed, "Leave the one you test drove yesterday to Lance, this one is for the two of us... "

After a strange silence, Chesu stared blankly at His Highness Fern, with incomprehensible doubts in her bright eyes.After a while, a clear expression finally appeared in his pitch-black eyes.

"Understood?" His Royal Highness Fern said lightly, the corners of his mouth curled up in a very slight arc.

"Yes, I see."

Quietly sitting on the machine repair console on his left, Chesu fastened the cross straps with standard movements, and carefully kept a little distance from His Royal Highness Fern.

...It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a cleanliness obsession. In the future, he must be careful to keep the cabin clean, and try not to touch his personal belongings and control areas.

"Beep" sounded, all the indicator lights on the console flashed quickly, and the first self-test procedure was successfully completed.

Pressing the start button of the simulation training program, His Royal Highness Fern looked sideways at Chesu, with a calmness and strength that Chesu had never seen on his handsome face: "Do you want to conduct individual movement breakdown training, or directly enter the battle simulation? "

Chesu glanced at him lightly, with a calmness in his bright eyes that didn't match his age: "I can do anything."

With a flash of light in his eyes, His Highness Fern stopped talking, reached out and pressed the start of the direct battle simulation program!

The two of them stared intently at the respective floating light curtain windows in front of them for a moment, and started the first real cooperative exercise.

Four single-man air combat mechs roared towards the screen at high speed, forming a tight encirclement and encirclement. It was almost a moment that could be captured by the naked eye. It poured down and smashed into their two-person mecha that had just completed takeoff and positioning in the air!

In the window in front of Fern, three small blind spots of enemy fire appeared within a few tenths of a second. Thanks to the powerful computing power of the third-generation computer chip, the blind spot calculation was extremely fast and accurate.

At the moment when the three blind spots flickered on the window, Fern's hands had already started to operate rapidly!

Under the dexterous and powerful control of his subordinates, the huge mecha flew at a sudden speed, but abandoned the nearest blind spot of firepower, and immediately attacked and occupied the farther away place.

At the moment when the speed increase was completed, behind their mechs, several beams of high-energy shells fired by enemy planes intersected and hit a ball of dazzling flames!

The new two-person mecha that just flew to the blind spot of firepower suddenly stopped in the air, and the transition from dynamic to static was seamless.Far away from the encirclement of the four mechas, the medium-range particle cannon it carried stretched out impressively, aimed at the virtual enemy plane on the window and fired at the speed of light. Under the precise and fierce operation, a one-man fighter plane had been accurately hit in the throat.

A confirmation message that an enemy plane of the other side was wiped out flashed quickly in the corner of the screen. ...the second, the third.

When all four enemy planes were wiped out and the red stop signal began to flash on the screen, it was only 10 minutes before His Royal Highness Fern began to control it.

Leisurely temporarily parked the two-person battle armor at a low altitude of several hundred meters from the ground, His Royal Highness Fern turned to look at his partner: "Sorry, I didn't give you a chance to perform..."

His eyes quickly swept across his rock-steady hands. Even though he had no good impression of this always cold and moody Grand Highness, Chesu couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

According to a rough visual inspection, the hand speed shown by His Highness Fern just now exceeded 360, which is already the school-level record of the Royal Academy of Engineering that Fan Zhong just broke.

Although breaking this record is not an astonishing thing, but looking at his completely calm hands, it is obvious that they haven't played to the point of exciting him?

"Are you feeling unwell? If not, let's go down and have a rest first?" His Highness Fern looked at Chesu's slightly pale face.

The first time he really went to the sky, the acceleration and sudden stop in the air that he was used to, for Chesu, would the impact on the muscles and internal organs of his body exceed the load?

Looking at him quietly, Chesu's eyes were also shining brightly under the transparent visor of the protective helmet: "Your Highness, let's start the next level of simulated battle."
