Although today's mecha optical sights have tried their best to have a matte finish, due to the size of the thing, it still inevitably causes some problems when aiming at a place similar to the strong light on the Moon Pool stage.

Reflective phenomenon.

The angle chosen by the other party was really tricky, and if all the surrounding lights hadn't been turned off in line with the atmosphere of welcoming the New Year, and because Shi Chen's position was directly opposite that direction, I'm afraid even Shi Chen wouldn't have been able to notice it for a while.

arrive.

And the angle at which the opponent was aiming... happened to be Ye Mengqi who was preparing to light the New Year's torch on the stage, or Isha beside her!

Isa!

Her Royal Highness, the Second Princess of the Royal Family of the Commonwealth of Elizabeth. Thinking of the other party's sensitive identity and the current sensitive situation, Shi Chen instantly thought of many possibilities.

Elizabeth's royal family has a very special status in the Commonwealth of Constitutional Monarchy. Although it is only a symbolic position on the surface, the top leaders of the Commonwealth know how terrifying Elizabeth's influence is in the Commonwealth and how powerful she is secretly.

huge.

And this influence will remain unshakable for at least three generations of the Federation. It will not be until all the old people during the Silver Cross War die that Elizabeth can truly and gradually return to the simple symbolic meaning.

However, the number of direct descendants of Elizabeth's royal family is very small. There are only two princesses in the second generation. Among them, the eldest princess Alsalia has been missing for many years. She disappeared from the world again after appearing in Titan. Therefore, Elizabeth's heir is currently only Isa.

one person.

If she dies suddenly, then the Elizabethan royal family will likely be in a situation where it is difficult to have heirs. And by that time, the Commonwealth is likely to fall into an unprecedented turmoil.

This must be what the empire wants to see most, so the federation's protection of the second princess has never been relaxed. She even spent her early years in Sauron Castle. It wasn't until Chengren grew up that she

She came to Wolchi University to study under her own strong will. Even so, the protective measures around Wolji University have been increased by several levels.

But now someone actually wants to openly assassinate the Second Princess! Could it be someone from the empire?

Shi Chen was shocked when he realized this possibility. He had not expected at all, and was even a little unbelievable. How could such a strange and dangerous situation occur in the capital star circle far away from the war? Are the people of the Empire really crazy?

But then a trace of doubt came to mind. Could it be that he was really from the Empire? Doing so would undoubtedly arouse the anger of the Federation, and what would follow would definitely be an endless second war between the Federation and the Empire.

Now that the Federation is standing still, the Empire can use its strong troops to gradually wear down the strength of the Blackstone Military District. Shouldn't this be what the Empire wants to see more?

However, Shi Chen no longer had time to think too much. He even hesitated to warn the security personnel through the communication channel now.

Because in the hinterland of the capital star circle, the other party was able to silently and unintentionally acquire a mecha without being noticed by anyone. This is simply unbelievable, so there is only one explanation. The Federation has internal annihilation.

If this is the case, then it is very likely that even the communication channel is now under the surveillance of the other party. Therefore, Shi Chen is very worried that his warning will actually serve as a warning, causing the other party to take action in advance.

The sniper rifle used by the mecha is extremely powerful. Even if you are not a sniper expert, it is easy to kill two weak women at this distance!

"What on earth should we do!" A wisp of cold sweat slid down Shi Chen's forehead.

Just when Shi Chen fell into extreme anxiety, the communicator in the cockpit suddenly sounded.

Toot, toot, toot...

"It's the Morse code encrypted by the military region!" Shi Chen frowned, and then looked at the source of the communication. He was even more surprised to find that it was a warning from someone from the Blackstone Military Region.

Bang!

"Idiot!" Shi Chen's fist hit the driving platform hard.

Even if the other party can't crack these codes, doesn't this seem to remind the other party that they are aware of the danger and ask them to take action quickly?

Shi Chen's expression suddenly became highly nervous. In the quiet cockpit, he could even hear the violent beating of his heart. He looked closely at the small bamboo forest opposite the moon pool through the light screen.

At the same time, the security personnel around the Yuechi River also became alert and switched to another communication channel as quickly as possible.

Isa, who had just taken over the torch from Ye Mengqi on the stage, was also frozen in action. She rolled her hair behind her ear with her left hand, and used this action to press the communication port of her outer ear. She seemed a little unbelievable what she had just heard.

Warning arrived.

"Your Highness, we have just received a warning from the Blackstone Army garrison. They found suspicious traces of mechas during their previous patrol. They are currently heading to the military stadium for investigation... Before we get a confirmed result, we suggest that your Highness

Stop the ceremony immediately and evacuate with us quickly!"

Hear this sentence.

Isa was silent for a few seconds, then turned her head to look at Ye Mengqi beside her, and said with a smile: "I'm very happy to be able to perform this ceremony with you today. Just leave it to me alone."

Ye Mengqi, who didn't know why, was stunned for a moment, smiled unnaturally, and suddenly noticed a trace of obvious worry in the other person's eyebrows. He opened his mouth, and finally complied: "Okay, Happy New Year." That's it.

Retreat behind the scenes.

The audience in the audience was a little stunned when they saw this scene, and then the scene became a little noisy.

It was obviously supposed to be a scene of Isha and Ye Mengqi holding a torch together and lighting the torch, but why did it become Isha alone?

Shi Chen in the cockpit breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ye Mengqi leaving the stage alone, but still did not dare to relax his guard. At the same time, he glanced at the second princess. Through the lens over there, Shi Chen had no intention of letting go.

Zhong saw Isa avoid the microphone and say something, while Shi Chen, who had studied lip reading, felt his nose was a little sore.

"Now that the entire Commonwealth is watching me on the screen, I cannot interrupt this ceremony rashly because there may be some threats. This will leave a stain on Elizabeth's flag. As a son and daughter of Elizabeth, I

I must shoulder this responsibility. So, please let me continue to complete this ritual."

The communication channel fell into silence.

After that, Isha in the camera smiled and raised the torch, and walked towards the torch on the high platform in the eyes of everyone.

With a whoosh, the fuel in the torch tray burst into flames, lighting up the sky and the hearts of all Federal people.

At the same time, countless fireworks exploded into the night sky, illuminating the entire night with colorful colors.

At this moment, the audience cheered and cheered, and every family in the Federation, every corner, and every Federation person watching this scene in front of the screen smiled and clapped, welcoming the arrival of the new year together.

.

And Isa, who successfully completed the ceremony, also let out a long sigh of relief. I don't know whether it was the heat of the fire or the high degree of tension. Her pretty face was flushed and her forehead was sweaty, but she was filled with a bright smile.

There's no danger, right? Isa thought happily.

Just as she walked slowly down the high platform, she suddenly felt a chill coming over her, and saw countless snowflakes the size of goose feathers starting to fall down in the night sky illuminated brilliantly by fireworks.

"It's snowing." Isa smiled and stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to catch a piece of snow.

At this moment, a deafening gunshot instantly drowned out the sound of fireworks in the night sky.

A spinning bullet passed through the small bamboo forest, passed through fallen flowers, passed through broken leaves, passed through the first piece of snow that fell in the new year, and came roaring!
Chapter completed!
