Counterfeit Hero

One night passed, and when the cold sunshine came to Tanville again, the citizens who had already survived a difficult night under gunfire and panic discovered that the entire Tanville had changed overnight.

On the streets, armed patrol mechas and soldiers in combat uniforms moved back and forth in rows and columns, and roadblocks were set up at the street entrances. If you are lucky, you can still stay at home, holding your frightened family in your arms, looking out the window at the heavily armed soldiers, the traces of explosions at the street entrance and the flames burning in the building in the distance.

Those who were unlucky would have been sent into the sky by flying artillery shells at night. Even if they survive, they have to live on the streets because their house has been turned into a bunker, a bunker, or simply in the center of fire from both warring parties. They could only wear thin clothes. In the cold winter, the family held the few belongings in their arms and tried to trek as far away from the artillery fire as possible.

However, the entire Tanvir has turned into a huge battlefield. No matter which way you go, there will be increasingly fierce artillery fire. No matter which direction you go, there are collapsed houses and burning skyscrapers. People could only stop, find a small area leeward, and look around blankly.

Very few of the flying cars parked on the roadside were intact. Some flying cars were overturned on the roadside, and some were turned into scraps by the military mechas running back and forth. Some flying cars were already exploding. It turned into a wreckage, with traces of burning on the incomplete body.

Most of the flying highway that wraps around Tanville like a ribbon has been destroyed. Big holes have been blown out of the road. Large chunks of concrete are hanging in the air, only relying on a few unbroken steel bars to connect to the magnetic metal belt on the road, shaking. Want to fall. Countless flying cars were blocked in the middle of the road, with some people still staying in the cars and watching in horror, while more people joined the crowd on foot, trying to weave through the traffic, trying to stay away from this place full of gunfire and smoke. city ​​of.

The ground road at the bottom was crowded with muddy mechas. Some injured soldiers had just withdrawn and were lying in the corners on both sides of the street, howling in pain. The few medical soldiers wearing white cross armbands were sweating profusely from their work. They had too many patients, and some seriously injured soldiers could only get a hastily injected injection of painkillers, and then they lay sluggishly on the street waiting for death to come.

Some people who had lost their loved ones or had collapsed in fear were standing on the street walking back and forth. They looked at this hellish scene with silly smiles. Their bodies seemed to be out of their control. Whenever there was a military flying vehicle, Or if a mecha on the road slowly passes by them, they will catch up to them like wild dogs on the street, shouting meaningless words until the vehicle is far away, and then they will become nervous. Walking back smiling and talking to himself.

In the east district of Tanvir, a history professor and his family hurriedly evacuated his house. The old building where he had lived for forty years had become a bunker for two mechas. The huge mechas were leaning against At the edge of the building, the energy cannon on the manipulator was firing fiercely across the street.

Just ten minutes ago, the fighting area was a whole street away from here. However, the opponent's advance was too fast. The soldiers who had broken down rejoined the battle again and again amidst the roars of the officers, trying to stabilize the defensive line.

The professor dragged his wife and child by the hands and passed through the turbulent flow of soldiers. Just as he ran back through another street, he heard a loud noise. The old building where his home was located had been completely destroyed by several energy shells. The stunned professor looked at the exploding and burning mecha and the collapsed building. In the midst of panic and fear, he suddenly heard his wife grabbing her eldest son and shaking him, shouting like crazy: "Where is your brother? Where is your brother?"

The eldest son, who was only eight years old, cried loudly and trembled all over. He pointed in the direction of home with his hand and cried repeatedly: "Toys, toys... toys..."

"Boom!" Another violent explosion sounded near the old building. The professor slumped down on the street. His wife was crying and wailing, the frightened eldest son, the running crowd, the soldiers who were shooting, the flash of the explosion, everything... It became black and white and silent.

The professor who had been teaching the history of imperial wars all his life closed his eyes in despair. War finally came to the center of this country that had been fighting for hundreds of years. It turns out that the imperial army marching majestically in other countries' cities on TV and the news won a victory amidst cheers and excitement? Next to the camera, it would be so miserable and terrifying.

Do unto others, do not impose on others!

*************************************************** ****************

The room was very quiet, and the high dome made this round room look a little empty. The early morning sunlight passes through the synthetic bulletproof glass and shines on the electronic virtual sandbox in the center of the room, making the constantly moving colorful virtual cursors appear abnormally bright.

This is the headquarters of the 42nd Division of the defense force stationed in the East District. Since the surrender of this unit, the division headquarters that originally occupied nearly 400,000 square meters has become Stephen's forward base for the troops that launched attacks on the Royal Palace in the Central District. They all transfer from here, and the conference room in the division headquarters building is arranged into a command room.

Stephen was in a daze as he watched the numbers on the virtual cursor keep changing on the virtual sandbox.

The decrease of one number means the disappearance of a soldier's life. However, Stephen does not care about this, unless all the numbers are cleared, which may make him raise his eyelids.

In his hand, he held the intelligence that had just been transmitted, which showed that James had died in the explosion of a royal spaceship that he was trying to rescue.

When he died, just like a number on the cursor, it just decreased and disappeared.

When this moment finally came, Stephen suddenly felt a little at a loss. That man was his father, the supreme ruler of this empire.

He is actually dead!

To please James, guess what James was thinking, dream about James' abdication, hate James' ruthlessness, and finally embark on the road of betrayal and killing James, have occupied Stephen's entire life.

However, he suddenly discovered that these days were gone forever with the death of James!

Stephen stood up and looked at the sunlight among the dense trees outside the window, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

His entire ideal is to inherit James' position and become a greater emperor than him. Regarding this goal, Stephen had no doubt that in his eyes, James could not be called great. .

Among the emperors of Gacharin, James did not seem to have any talents or political achievements that could be ranked high except for the iron bowl rule. He just launched wars again and again aimlessly. It seems that this is the whole meaning of his becoming emperor.

Stephen once imagined what would happen to the empire if James died suddenly. He could predict the chaos like now. In his imagination at the time, the situation was hundreds of times more chaotic than it is now! At that time, he did not take such chaos seriously. He felt that he was fully capable and confident in such chaos, quickly calming down the Gacharin Empire and re-centralizing power to the new emperor, that is, In your own hands!

He was once sure that he would lead his army, amidst the roar of mecha engines and energy cannons, singing loudly all the way to become the greatest emperor, and begin to write his own legend, making all enemies, whether overt or covert, stand in awe. Kneel down and tremble on both sides of the road ahead, letting the imperial flag with the symbol of the angry bear fly high in any place you want to conquer!

However, it was only now that Stephen discovered that compared with his father, he was just a child who had not grown up. All the dreams that were once passionate had turned into a quagmire on the day James truly disappeared. !

A night's attack made almost no progress!

In addition to realizing the occupation plan for the East and South Districts of Tanville that he had decided in advance with his teacher Liebgot, Stephen felt like he was hitting a wall everywhere.

First up is the palace!

The royal guards in the palace were so tenacious. Stephen had no idea that this guard of honor, which was always controlled by useless George and performed in the palace every day wearing red uniforms and feather hats, could be so powerful!

Two elite armored regiments and an entire fully mechanized infantry division continued their ten-hour attack, but they were unable to advance a step and were always blocked in the fourth block, two kilometers away from the palace. Not being able to enter the palace, not being able to obtain the scepter that symbolizes the emperor, all the seal codes in the safe, and the authority to command the army, it means that he can never give orders as the emperor.

Without the emperor's order to mobilize troops, how long can Lucerne's war situation last?

In modern warfare, without reinforcements and logistical supplies, even if Sobol, the God of War in Western Europe, personally commanded, it would be impossible to win this war!

James' long-term centralized rule made it impossible for any peripheral army to participate in the change of central power. Especially when the situation was unclear, whoever dared to participate must be prepared to be replaced by his deputy or The grassroots officers are prepared to rebel against orders.

This was once his biggest reliance in launching a coup. As long as it could be resolved quickly, the frontline war would hardly be greatly affected. However, what I was worried about not only happened, but also happened so suddenly.

The western sector of Tanweer had been occupied by the Mythical Legion. Inhardt suddenly appeared at the most chaotic time, taking control of the 17th Armored Division and the 5th Fully Mechanized Infantry Division in the western sector, and issued a notice of crusade against him. He has no interest in anything in the palace. As long as he kills himself, he can end the entire Morton family and pave the way for him to ascend to the throne of God!

"...Stephen disregarded his upbringing and his brotherhood, and launched a coup, killing his father and brother in an attempt to usurp the throne. His wolf-heartedness is outrageous... If Gacharin's future is left to the control of this heartless and unjust person, there will be outrage and resentment." The people are in dire straits... I, Reinhardt, swear to eradicate this evil beast for the empire, and I will risk my life and never look back..."

Thinking of the words in the announcement, Stephen couldn't help but clenched his hands hard, almost crushing the information in his hands: "This damn illegitimate child! Could it be that the Mythical Legion appeared in the prison to rescue James?" The disappearance of George who is traveling with us has nothing to do with you?"

In addition to the biggest enemy Reinhardt, there is also the North District!

The northern area of ​​​​Tanweil ​​has been occupied by Gordon, the former first general of the empire, and his old partner Heilig. These two cunning foxes escaped from their control at the beginning of their coup. Quietly and quickly, the remaining forces in the military headquarters were gathered together, and they formed their own group with the 6th Ace Armored Division of the Northern District and the 32nd Armored Division of the Army as their team. The banner they were using was the missing heir to the throne, George!

The three parties are intertwined, and no one will admit defeat easily. It is tantamount to wishful thinking to calm down the chaos in a short period of time and return Gacharin to a strong voice.

Stephen stood in front of the window and couldn't figure out how the action he thought was foolproof could end up in this situation.

Bruce, why did you fail? *************************************************** ************************

"Reinhardt, I have to confirm something. Are the rumors about you and James... true?" Concannon picked up the coffee in front of him and observed his classmate and friend with the corner of his eyes.

If there is anyone in this world who is qualified to ask Reinhardt private questions about his life experience, then only Concannon is qualified at this moment. He was Reinhardt’s best friend when he was studying abroad in the Desik Empire. At the same time, he is also the only son of Prince Crowlin of the Dethik Empire and the special envoy of the Dethik Empire. A person who can give Reinhardt the greatest help during this most critical period.

Reinhard laughed loudly, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards the desk: "I don't think this matter is worthy of your attention... I also don't think you will believe such nonsense rumors..."

Concannon raised his eyes, smiled slightly, and put down the coffee cup in his hand: "I hope you don't mind my rudeness. I don't want to get involved in a household matter. If you can draw a clear line between you and the Morton family, then Of course it couldn't be better." He straightened the cuffs of his white shirt and continued, "For our Majesty, James is his old friend, and for me, I only hope that the next Gacharin The emperor is just a good friend of mine."

Reinhardt smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I can guarantee this."

Concannon said: "Then I can guarantee that until the Desik Empire does not agree, Liebgot and the Naga Federation can only stand by and watch this civil war! If Siyo has any proposals, we will definitely choose You as James’ successor.”

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly, and Concannon said: "According to the report of your regiment commander, James' death should be certain without a doubt. However, I received an order from His Majesty Frank, requiring me to spare no effort. Find James, live or die, or see his body. Make sure he is not under the control of the LeRay Federation."

"The federal agents are just a bunch of low-class people who were beaten by the mythical army and hid in Tibet." Reinhardt said calmly, "However, the fugitive mentioned by the prisoners is indeed very interesting. He can't even connect with me." He has deceived them all! Maybe he will deceive other people..."

Speaking of the fat man named Zhang Yuan, Reinhardt looked a little ugly. He opened the Skynet information system and said to Concannon: "At 7:40, the highest authority mark appeared in the Skynet system. Because the level was not high enough, we were unable to track the use of the highest authority and the point at which it appeared. However, according to O'Sullivan's report, James was determined to be dead at around 7:10."

Reinhardt moved his somewhat stiff face with a smile and said: "Perhaps someone got the highest authority but escaped death, or maybe O'Sullivan was also deceived. Now, my legion has invested in the central and southern areas. An attack at the junction of the districts cannot launch a large-scale search. I believe that your mecha troops can bring me a little surprise. After all, the technological level of the Desik Empire is much higher than that of Gacharin. "

Concannon raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly: "When it comes to mecha tracking, Desik's hunter army, even if it is not the best in the world, is not among the top three. We cannot directly participate in your civil war, but we can help you. We can still do it by getting useful things like the highest authority, maybe now, the hunters have caught their prey!”

"***, it's not over yet!" Tian Xingjian looked at the densely packed mechas on the mecha radar and felt dizzy.

Bonnie on the side looked at the mechas she had never seen before displayed on the mecha's telescope, and was a little stunned for a moment. Before she could recover, the fat man sealed her mouth with tape.

"It's rare to hear you laugh again, so block it first and be quiet!" the bitch said angrily. .
