On the same afternoon, six judges including Leila and Montfort left the protective detention area of Great Han following the route that Lin Cuo deliberately left without writing it into any official document.
There was no fierce exchange of fire during the so-called escape.
The guard at the third gate happened to be transferred away, the monitoring in the maintenance channel happened to be updated, and the train parked on the underground siding happened to have a set of unlocked military identification codes. Lin Cuo did not tell Leila when to leave, nor did he specify what she must say after she got out. She just put all the conditions for escape.
The final decision was made by Leila.
After the train left the underground area, Montfort sat across from her, silent for a long time, and finally asked, "Marukal Major, how did you get that Regent to agree to our departure?"
"He did not agree."
"Then why are these doors open?"
"Because he wants us to escape."
Several conservative judges glanced at each other. Leila had not fully recovered from the injuries sustained during the trial. Her ribs still hurt when she walked, and her ankle was slightly stiff due to the kick and sprain. When she sat down, her movements were unnatural for a moment, and her face quickly turned cold after she realized that everyone was watching her.
Montfort seemed to suddenly understand something and solemnly looked away.
Another elderly judge whispered, "Major, you have already borne enough for E. U., and there is no need to explain the personal costs to us."
Leila was stunned for a while, his cheeks instantly turned red, and he finally understood the conversation between adults.
"What are you thinking?!"
No one in the carriage answered.
She was so angry that she stood up, her side immediately hurt, and she could only sit down again holding on to the edge of the table. That moment of pause only made the misunderstanding between several judges stronger.
Montfort coughed.
"No matter what, you sacrificed for our freedom."
"There is no sacrifice like you think!"
"We understand."
"You don't understand at all!"
That night, the Great Han total war communication system took over the global public lines.
The same picture appears on the screens of stations, military camps, factories, schools and commercial plazas at the same time.
The background is a Luoyang military test area that was temporarily transformed into a huge arena.
A unified slogan scrolled continuously at the bottom of the screen.
[Let the competition stay in the arena and let the muzzle point beyond the starry sky.]
When Lin Cuo walked up to Camera, he didn't even take the speech notes.
"Everyone, mankind has just won its first extraterrestrial war. Some people say that now is not the time to hold a competition; they are wrong, very wrong."
Dietrich sits in the communications center, content to keep all language channels in sync.
"Now is the time for competition. We can't just let our children see how monsters kill humans every day, nor can we just let the common people hear how much military expenditures each country has increased. Human beings need to see how fast our body can fly, how long our Shield can last, and under what circumstances our Driver can bring our companions back."
He raised his hand, and images of major mobile weapons from all over the world appeared behind him one after another.
"Therefore, Great Han decided to hold the first Human Common Defense World Mobile Weapons Tournament. Any mobile platform that can pass the safety review can participate. Single combat, team combat, counter-Laser-Class penetration, simulated HIVE attack, casualty rescue, continuous dispatch and field maintenance, all projects adopt open rules."
"The country can lose a game without losing a city. Driver can defeat the enemy's ace without killing the people in Cockpit. Engineers can prove that their route is superior without waiting for a real war to approve it for them."
His tone suddenly changed.
"Of course, some countries will be afraid."
Audiences Pendragon, Paris and Area 11 had a bad feeling at the same time.
"Britannia claims to have the strongest knight system in the world, and there are twelve round table seats. Very good, come all. You can send substitutes to the empty seats. Anyway, Great Han will not refuse the game just because the opponent is short of people."
In Area 11 Specially Dispatched Guidance Technology Department, Lloyd's eyes have brightened.
"Oumedou~~ They really did it."
Cecile held his forehead, Lin Cuo hadn't finished speaking yet.
"The Empire's most advanced Lancelot has returned to the maintenance area after being seriously damaged twice in the past, proving that Britannia Industrial has excellent repairability. This time, we warmly welcome it to participate with the new Shield, new Hover Unit and all upgrades to prove to the world whether it can persist until the end of the competition for the third time."
Suzaku stood next to the maintenance platform and quietly shook his hands.
The list of entries for Great Han behind Lin Cuo has finally begun.
"Our representatives First Sequence, Kallen Kouzuki, Guren Shen Hu."
In Goryeo Special Settlement, Kallen suddenly raised his head.
"Who agreed?!"
"Second Sequence represents, Great Han General Li Xingke, Shen Hu."
Southern Ocean In the command train returning, the pen in Li Xingke's hand stopped.
Lin Cuo showed an extremely confident smile when facing Camera.
"We have the best Driver in the world, the most complete actual combat data and the Military-Industrial Commission that is most willing to spend money. If Britannia thinks Knights of the Round is stronger, come and prove it. If the E. U. thinks Alexander can change the war, come and prove it. All trophies, research contracts and orders for the next generation Common Defense are here."
"Don't just declare in the newspaper that your country is the strongest."
"Come to Luoyang."
"Drive the machine into the arena."
"Let the whole world see."
The live broadcast has not yet ended, Li Xingke has already connected to the imperial emergency line, and there is no smile on his face.
"Duke of Liang."
Lin Cuo is still standing in front of Camera, so he can only turn off the public microphone temporarily.
"General Li, we are broadcasting live around the world, please maintain your General demeanor."
"Why am I on the entry list?"
"Because you are one of the strongest Great Han Driver."
"I am in charge of E. U. military affairs coordination, Southern Ocean aftermath, second round BETA war plan and Central General Staff Headquarters adaptation."
"Southern Ocean has been temporarily stabilized."
"That's because you've killed almost all the people who could organize opposition, not because the problem has disappeared!"
"The results are stable and stable."
"Also, what do you mean by giving three hundred and sixty TQ-21s to Leila?"
"There is one Kallen, and there is one Leila. Great Han must treat outstanding female officers from different countries fairly and establish mutually independent Common Defense pillars."
Li Xingke took a deep breath.
"You first created a coup in the E. U., then funded Smilas, then asked Leila to lead a judge against Smilas, and now you gave her 360 units, and also announced that I must participate in World Tournament."
"You summarized it very accurately."
"Why do you still sound so proud?"
"Because these things are generally moving in the right direction."
Li Xingke looked at him, the pressure finally crossed the last pressure red line, and the system in Lin Cuo's field of vision suddenly turned red.
[Li Xingke The pressure reaches the limit.]
[Crash roll in progress.]
[Character: Diligent, brave, calm.]
[Relationship: Highly loyal to Son of Heaven.]
[Country status: Civilizational War.]
[Character experience: Luoyang Palace Coup, Southern Ocean integration, Kashgar outer dispatch, system reconstruction, Common Defense Army system.]
[Crash roll deflected.]
[Event: Late Emperor's ambition and the Prime Minister's trust cannot be forgotten.]
[Historical database note: The prime minister in this world context refers to Chancellor Cao who completed the construction of the Han Dynasty's reunification system.]
Lin Cuo's eyes twitched slightly.
[Character trait evolution.]
[Kirin Governance→Legacy of Han Restoration.]
[The efficiency of converting abstract strategies into executable systems: greatly improved.]
[Initial organization level of newly established institutions: significantly improved.]
[Professional talent identification and authorization capabilities: Improvement.]
[Pressure load limit: Increase.]
[Negative effect: When the country and Son of Heaven are in crisis, this character can hardly stop working actively.]
Immediately afterwards, the long-term treatment settlement of Takemi Tae Medical Group was also completed in the system.
[Old Injury: Removed.]
[Chronic blood loss: removed.]
[Neural Load Damage: Removed.]
[Old damage to lungs: removed.]
[Character health status: fully recovered.]
When Lin Cuo saw this, he forcibly cut off the route, reopened the public microphone, and continued to smile in front of the global audience.
"As you can see, Great Han's internal communication is very sufficient, and General Li has enthusiastically accepted the invitation."
Li Xingke almost reconnected the line at the other end.
Just when the global communication system was about to broadcast the registration method, the orbital alarm of Celestial Balance One suddenly cut into all the highest military lines.
There were three consecutive high-intensity thermal radiations in the Mars Hellas Basin direction, each lasting far longer than natural geological activities. The ground long baseline Radar could only confirm that three small objects were deviating from the original orbit near the Mars node, and there were obvious traces of artificial acceleration behind them.
Eleven seconds later, Pendragon One provided the second set of optical data.
The E. U. Northern Astronomical Station also completed independent confirmation.
