Six people in total.

The four of them wore full-coverage exoskeleton armor, with only the eyes of the helmet showing a blue display screen, and holding heavy weapons half a man's height in their hands;

Two people control a three-meter-tall small mecha.

In addition, there are six mechanical creatures that look like scorpions, which are very similar to the one that attacked Li Changzhou at the beginning, but they are not the same model.

These mechanical creatures set up a barrier and surrounded the entire house. If you escape from any angle, you will be discovered - even stealth and signal blocking will not work.

As expected, Win Caroline was of great status. The six soldiers were stopped outside by a maid, and the other maid seemed to have gone to ask for instructions from the master who had not yet gotten up.

"Chicken bones of this size can be chopped off completely." Li Changzhou confirmed.

"Don't worry yet." Yang Qinglan muttered, "The soldiers outside are nothing. The most important thing is how not to expose your identity."

"What do you think we should do?" Li Changzhou asked.

Right now, there is no way to escape without fighting. The only option is to resolve the fight quickly and escape into the wild.

"Just thinking."

On the bed, Beja Tris asked Li Qianxia: "The small team outside has weapons that can defeat a five-meter mecha, and the armor can also withstand the missiles of a six-meter mecha. Can you deal with them?"

"Of course! We are the Shaolin football team and we know kung fu! Those car mechanics are no match for us!" Li Qianxia replied.

"..."

In fact, so far, Beatrice has not understood what "Shaolin" is, a school?

She does understand football. There are also games and competitions in this world where "mechas shoot missiles into the opponent's base." In front of the base, there are also mechas specifically responsible for intercepting missiles.

"Turn on the mecha, the one in the garage." Yang Qinglan suddenly said.

"Um?"

"These people did not rush in directly, which proves that our identities have not been exposed. Killing them with mechas can delay it for a while, and -"

She glanced at Beatrice and continued to explain: "The mecha can also be used to withstand the hail of bullets - the four of us are okay. Once the princess is hit, she may die directly and there will be no time for treatment."

"No, no, no." Li Qianxia said quickly, "If I get hit in the head, I won't be able to get treatment in time."

"Can't you not get hit?" Li Changzhou said to her as if he was disgusted.

"What you're saying here is the same as 'Why don't you rent out your house?'"

Li Changzhou ignored Li Qianxia's teasing and followed Yang Qinglan's train of thought.

He said: "The mecha riots are also very eye-catching, but at least they won't be immediately associated with us. At the critical moment, if you encounter an imperial mecha, you can still temporarily resist it - just do it!"

Putting away the Emerald Bee Sword and King Cobra, he and Yang Qinglan walked out of the room.

"Let's go, princess." Li Qianxia said to Beatrice sitting on the bed.

Beatrice looked at her strangely.

"You have personally faced Imperial mechas, do you think you can defeat them?"

"It should...no way." Li Qianxia answered hesitantly.

"Then why..." Beatrice softened her tone, "Then why are you still so active? Why aren't you desperate? I don't understand."

"What's not to understand?" Li Qianxia smiled brightly, "Of course I don't want to die."

Beatrice opened her lips and fell silent again.

They don't want to die because as long as they complete the task, they can return to their previous life.

But for herself, even if her mission is completed and she marries the heir to the empire, it is not the life she wants.

She wanted to die on the way there.

But no, the principality needs her alive.

Beatrice took a deep breath and got off the bed: "Let's go!"

Li Qianxia slowly put away her smile. Because she had no parents and was poor, she had been sensitive to other people's thoughts since she was a child.

She looked at the girl who was about the same age as herself standing in front of her.

Any girl or boy on earth, as long as they refuse to study and resolutely become a scumbag when faced with parents who urge marriage, they can never get married or have children for the rest of their lives.

And the princess of a principality in front of me...

[Trigger side mission: Princess Knight]

[Mission content: Save the princess]

[Note: There are many ways to save. Depending on the method, the rewards are different - death is the simplest rescue]

【......】

[Tasks are not repeated]

[According to the player's instinct - "Twin", origin - "Golden Branch and Jade Leaf", this side task is now shared with the other son of "Twin", the leader of "Golden Branch and Jade Leaf"]

"Well......"

"What's wrong?" Bea Tris looked at Li Qianxia doubtfully.

"...I might be scolded by my brother."

The side missions were irrelevant. What was important was that Li Changzhou had clearly told her not to have too much affection for any character in history - she didn't know about ships at that time.

The two came to the living room. Yang Qinglan was talking to Yaochi who had just woken up. Li Changzhou who was standing aside did not scold her, but just glanced at her one more time.

Li Qianxia shrank her shoulders, as if a long time ago, when she was copying her brother's math summer homework, she accidentally spilled water on it.

Yaochi also agreed with the strategy of turning on the mecha and asked for the key - the bracelet - from Win Caroline.

While Win Caroline was dealing with the soldiers at the door, the five of them quietly sneaked into the garage.

The eight-meter-tall mecha is nearly three stories high. People standing directly underneath need to raise their heads completely.

Press the cockpit opening button, there will be a squeezing sound of air, and the cockpit will open.

The cockpit is not small, but it is not too big either. If one person sits in the driver's seat, the other four people cannot fit in even if they curl up in a circle around the driver's seat.

Unless one is sitting on the driver's lap.

Holding a girl and controlling a mecha is a routine operation (in the anime), so it’s not a big deal at all.

It's a pity that the driver is not Li Changzhou.

"Who among you will open the door?" Li Changzhou asked Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia and Yaochi.

The three of them looked at each other, and Yaochi said, "I don't know how."

"Um?"

"Me neither." Li Qianxia said.

"What?"

"Me too." Yang Qinglan said.

"At the critical moment, the enemy is outside, can you please stop joking?" Li Changzhou became anxious.

"Believe it or not, hum!" Yaochi looked like his girlfriend was angry.

"Brother, we really don't know how." Li Qianxia is very obedient now, just like she took the initiative to give snacks to her brother after spilling water on her homework. "The mechas of the three of us use neural connection devices, but this machine

——”

This one has a keyboard and a joystick, but it doesn't have the familiar neural connection device.

Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan, who nodded in confirmation.

He looked at the princess again.

Beatrice said:

"Manually operated mechas have been eliminated from the battlefield. The military uses drones and mechas equipped with neural connection systems. However, manually operated mechas are very popular among civilians. Some people even think that manual mechas are romantic and very Sought after.”

"No one asked you this, would you?"

"I...I remember there is an operating manual." Beatrice leaned down and pressed a few times on the keyboard, which was expected to have more than 300 keys.

A manual pops up on the monitor, the title of the book is: "MH-60LK Operating Instructions and Basic Maintenance Manual".

After opening the instruction manual, Beatrice stepped aside, like a gentleman holding out a chair for a lady, and people couldn't help but want to say thank you to her.

"..." Li Changzhou looked at Yaochi, "Call Caroline over. Now is not the time to consider whether it will affect the civilians."

"I asked her to do her best to cope with the soldiers' search, and if she doesn't hurry up, the soldiers will break into the garage."

"How fast?" Li Changzhou asked.

Yang Qinglan's blue eyes swept away, and Li Changzhou fell into the cockpit: "It's better to read the instructions quickly to waste time."

"Me?" Li Changzhou pointed at himself and looked up at the four beautiful women outside the cockpit.

He felt as if he was being forced to go into a well to pick up iron balls that had sunk to the bottom of the water, or like a death squad sent to blow up cow dung, while these four people were outside, watching indifferently from a distance.

"It doesn't require you to be very skilled, as long as you can run."
