Crossing to the Future, it’s Not Easy to Be a Man

Chapter 555: Sacrifice!

Ling Lan replied calmly: "Isn't this very simple?"

After hearing this, Ji Sheng silently turned around and burst into tears. Could it be that his mecha control talent was really so bad that he couldn't even compare to the silent Lance?

Lance was taciturn in school, and his test scores were always behind Jisheng's. Jisheng always thought that his mecha control was better than Lance's, but now it seems that he thought too well.

After a brief preparation, Linglan's team went to the battlefield. Fortunately, the Mendola Human Alliance Army did not regard these low-level mechas as cannon fodder, and the intelligent mechas they faced were not very strong.

After Ling Lan asked Ji Sheng, she learned that intelligent mechas also need to grow to become conscious. They are not high-level intelligences from the beginning. Intelligent agents that have just emerged with consciousness cannot become ace mecha masters all of a sudden. They must start from low-level mechas. Soldiers evolve step by step.

And the opportunity for their evolution was also on the battlefield. After countless battles, they promoted the evolution of intelligence, and finally became intermediate mecha warriors, advanced mecha warriors, special-level mecha warriors, aces, emperors... until they finally became the top gods. Level mecha king.

Of course, the level distinction in the evolution of Mendola galaxy mecha masters is not like this, but for ease of understanding, Ling Lan directly compared it with the alliance's mecha levels.

They are also intermediate mechas, but the intelligent intermediate mechas are inherently stronger than the intermediate mechas of the Mondora people. Therefore, the human damage rate of Mondora humans is much higher than that of the intelligent mechas, such as Ling Lan More than half of the six-man team was lost after a big battle, with only Ji Sheng and Ling Lan left in the end. In fact, if Ling Lan had not secretly protected Ji Sheng, I am afraid that only Ling Lan would have left the battlefield alive in the end.

After recuperating at the rear, Ling Lan and the others added new team members. This time, Ling Lan became the captain.

Year after year, day after day, Ling Lan survived in the tense, busy and dangerous life of war, rest, and war. At first, she still had time to think about what Mentor No. 3 wanted her to understand when he threw her into this world. , later on, Ling Lan had no time to think about it. She might fight for several hours continuously every day. In one battle, she even fought for several days and nights. If Ling Lan hadn't always been accustomed to equip a full energy box, I'm afraid that all the mechas would be like that one. Like a teacher, his wings were broken on the spot.

A few years passed in a hurry, and Linglan once had the illusion that she was a human being here. The so-called military academy life in the Federation was just a dream she had. Fortunately, Linglan survived several mental beatings in the learning space and still maintained her true heart. shake.

As time went by and the battle deepened, the situation became more and more favorable to the Mendola people. However, as the Linglan team continued to sacrifice their companions in the battle, Ji Sheng, who was originally lively and jumping, gradually became silent, with eyes in his eyes. The confusion is getting thicker and thicker.

Once after a war, when he was bidding farewell to his fallen teammates again, Ji Sheng couldn't help but ask Ling Lan: "Why is there a war? Why can't we have a good talk? Back then, our ancestors could tolerate aliens, live in peace with those intelligent entities, and work together. Why can’t we create this powerful Mondora country in our generation? Are we wrong? Or has the intelligence changed?

Ling Lan couldn't answer Ji Sheng's question. In the final analysis, it is power that causes trouble. Ling Lan guessed that some powerful people in Mendola thought that their power was diluted by the intelligence, so they wanted to take back this power, but of course the intelligence refused. They have equal status and do not want to become slave tools. They want to continue to have their freedom. The two parties that cannot achieve unity will certainly not take into account the thoughts of the humans below. This battle will break out sooner or later.

Of course, Ling Lan also knew that because of Xiaosi and the instructors in the learning space, her heart was still biased towards the intelligent agents. She did not believe that the intelligent agents really wanted to control the Mendola people and wanted to make the Mendola people theirs. slave.

In this way, they spent five years on the battlefield. After going through great waves, they also advanced from intermediate mecha warriors to ace warriors.

but,

In contrast, their opponents have become stronger. They are the ace mechas in the intelligent army, and their battles are more difficult and dangerous. In the sixth year, another high-level mecha war broke out. This time, due to the misjudgment of the top management of the Mendolan Legion, the mecha legion to which Ling Lan belonged unfortunately fell into a three-armed encirclement by the intelligent legion.

In that battle, all the mecha masters of the Linglan Legion fought in despair. They fought for three days and three nights with smart mechas that were three times more numerous than them, but they still did not receive reinforcements, and in the end the entire army was annihilated. In this battle, Ling Lan was also surrounded by three smart ace mechas. She was helpless and watched Ji Sheng die in front of her eyes.

In the end, Ling Lan luckily escaped from the siege of the three smart ace mechas. When Ling Lan found the Mendola people's base camp, she realized that in that battle, not only her team was wiped out, but also the entire legion's mechas. All the armored masters fell there. Among the millions of elite mechas, only less than 5,000 mechas escaped. However, the sacrifice was not without value. With one legion of mechas, three legions of the intelligent side were destroyed. Two of them were crippled, and the only legion that could still maintain its organization also sacrificed a third of its ace mechas.

This war hit Ling Lan hard. In the past, Ling Lan had been very indifferent to other members of the team. Although Ling Lan regretted their sacrifices, she was not sad. Just like when playing a game, when she saw the death of the same group, she might be affected by the plot and feel regretful or upset. But I won't be sad.

But Ji Sheng was different. Ji Sheng had been by her side since she entered this world. As time went by, Ling Lan really regarded Ji Sheng as her partner. Ling Lan thought that before she found what she wanted and left this world, she would be able to protect Ji Sheng, but the reality slapped her in the face, and there were times when she couldn't do it.

"I'm not strong enough. If I was already an emperor-level master, how could I be trapped by those three ace mechas? I could have saved Ji Sheng..." Ling Lan's heart twisted, and she tightened her grip. Fist, looking up at the endless starry sky, "Mentor No. 3, what exactly do you want me to understand? If you want me to understand my weakness, I already know it. Why do you still stay here?

Yes, Ling Lan didn't like this world where there was only fighting, but she didn't know why she was fighting. It made her feel like she was just a thoughtless killing tool, which was cheap and annoying to her.

Unfortunately, what Ling Lan thought of was not the real answer. She was still in this world, still fighting as an ace mecha master on various battlefields. R1152
