Steel Chang'an

Chapter 76

red ridge.

"The original purpose of letting you play in the spring hunt is because it's time for you to feel the atmosphere of the battle. Now you can put on this armor and feel it. Being a knight is not an easy task." Li Jing said, helping Su Sheng fasten the buckle of the knight armor.This is a specially-made armor. There are no controls connected to the neuron system of the mecha installed in the close-fitting bottom gasket. Those redundant positions are replaced by reinforced cushioning materials. The outer layer of the armor is covered with thick alloy. Su Sheng got his head out from between the breastplate, and the metal weighed heavily on his body, and he was a little breathless.In order not to affect the knight's actions, the normal knight's armor is only covered with alloy armor on key parts, but this armor almost covers Su Sheng's whole body.He put on matching gloves. "Boss, the armor you put on me isn't an iron bucket at all!" Su Sheng complained.

"This is to protect you." Li Jing said seriously, and he put his helmet on Su Sheng's head forcefully, "Okay, repeat it to me now, what should you do after the second horn of Spring Hunting is sounded? "

"Surrender immediately without a second of hesitation." Su Sheng curled his lips.He wanted to shrug his shoulders, but the armor on his shoulders was too heavy, "Boss, you have repeated it many times, is it really necessary?"

"Hehe, isn't it afraid that you will be forgotten as soon as you walk out of my sight?" Li Jing gave Su Sheng a meaningful look, "Remember, you don't have to rush to become a knight, and there is no need to wait here. Be a hero in the First World War. Ever since the news of the nine god armors in the Yin Ruins was leaked, Spring Hunting is no longer a game between nobles, but a real killing. You are going to become the king of the northern border Man, you can't make any mistakes in this battle." Li Jing cleared his throat and said, "Of course, the most important thing is that you, as my beloved disciple, have made this prosthetic body by the puppet master himself. There are millions of fingers, if you make a mistake and need to be repaired, I will feel very sorry for your boss."

After all, what you care about is money!Mu Yun couldn't help but vomit in his heart while listening.But Su Sheng rolled up his sleeves with difficulty and turned on the receiver on his wrist: "The latest battle report, the Qi family and the Xia family have won another game, and their points have already surpassed us. Boss, let's just give up this game." Is the battle really good?" Su Sheng opened his eyes wide and blinked at Li Jing, "For the sake of my hard preparations this month, why don't you let me try the tactics we formulated at the beginning? To say that you, boss, have also put a lot of effort into this tactic and spent several nights helping me revise the tactics, you don't want to see for yourself how your beloved apprentice uses the mechanic's tactics to show off his might and open up Is it a new way of knighthood?"

"It's really not negotiable. It's useless to open your eyes and pretend to be cute." Li Jing stretched out his fingers and flicked Su Sheng's helmet, "Your battle was not a must in my plan. You can’t take it down. After all, arranging you to fight is to let you feel the pressure you have to bear as a knight standing on the battlefield. Even if you will not fight in person when you become the king of the North, you still need to appear on the battlefield to boost morale , so as a teacher, I just want to take this opportunity to let you exercise early. As for winning or losing this battle...we can still afford to lose the 3 points in the city defense battle, as long as we earn 5 points in the last siege battle points, our ranking will be above the Qi family and the Xia family, ensuring that we can enter the Yin Ruins."

"I'll leave this important task to you!" Li Jing said, turned around and patted Mu Yun's shoulder heavily, and said to Su Sheng, "Anyway, your boss, I'm planning a strategy, and all your excuses are on my shoulders." During the calculation, you don’t need to waste your time in vain, and you can confidently and boldly show your momentum to surrender! Know when to retreat in spite of difficulties, and don’t show off your courage, this is also a compulsory course for a man!”

"Got it, boss! When it comes to surrender, that's my specialty, you just have to wait and see!" Su Sheng promised heartily, but his eyes dimmed all of a sudden, and he looked listlessly at Li Jing and Mu. Yun waved his hand, and wearing that heavy armor, he shuffled towards the waiting area.

"This kid never talks about it, but he really wants to be a knight in his heart!" Mu Yun looked at Su Sheng's back and couldn't help but said, "Do you really want him to surrender as soon as he comes up? Speaking of which, he and Xiao Teng Wang has been tinkering with the battle armor for so long, I still want to see what is so famous about it! With the mechanic's fighting method he imagined, can he really defeat that knight of the You family?"

"Nonsense," Li Jing said, "How is that possible? I've said it all. In my plan, this battle was abandoned a long time ago. Didn't you hear that?"

"Ah?" Mu Yun scratched her head, thinking that since you have given up on this battle from the beginning, why are you still spending all that time on Su Sheng, helping him formulate tactics and revise his tactics, and dragging Little Teng Wang along with him? I spent the whole night researching how to customize the armor for Su Sheng. Is this full of food?

"Oh, it's all because of the teacher's kind heart!" Li Jing sighed and said, "The destiny that kid shoulders is to become the king of the northern border, but that kid seems to have never wanted to face this reality, regardless of Whether he is obsessed with tinkering with mechs or eager to become a knight, for that kid, it was originally a dream to escape from reality. In the past in Chang'an City, as a teacher, he was still young, and the future he had to face was full of difficulties. Simply let him dream for a while while he can still dream! It’s just that the dream will eventually wake up one day. Originally, the purpose of letting him play in the Spring Hunt this time is to let him be here. After being severely defeated in the First World War, he realized that without the blood of a knight, it would not work to become a knight with the tactics of a mechanic and fight alone on the battlefield, so that he could wake up and face Reality, marching towards the road of the king with peace of mind! I just didn't expect that the battle situation in Chunshou has become so tragic. In this battle, the You family just lost to the Xia family. There is no hope of entering the Yin Ruins. It's a bit of a desperate move, so for the sake of safety, we can only let Su Sheng surrender as soon as he comes up, to protect himself wisely, and find opportunities to educate him in the future!"

"Wait, so the reason why you originally planned to let Su Sheng play in the Spring Hunt, including that you specially expended energy to help him formulate tactics and customize the armor, is to let him be severely defeated and to make his dream shattered? "Mu Yun stared at Li Jing with wide eyes, thinking that you have the nerve to say that you are kind-hearted?Fortunately, the current battle situation in Chunshou has reached the level of casualties in almost every battle, which forced Li Jing to ask Su Sheng to surrender as soon as he came up. Otherwise, wouldn't Su Sheng's young heart be shattered into pieces after learning the truth? up?
"Hehe, now you understand how difficult it is to be a teacher, right? Being a teacher has worked hard for you..." Li Jing patted Mu Yun on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I know that being a teacher It's not easy, you have to go all out for the special training in the next few days, and get ready to win the final battle. Although the teacher is kind-hearted, he also has a very strict and cruel side..."

"You are very strict and cruel, don't I see it every day?" Recalling the special training of the previous month, Mu Yun sighed helplessly. Speaking of which, where is your kind-hearted side?Is it reflected in your young mind playing with children?Looking at Su Sheng's figure in that armor that looked like an iron barrel, walking towards the waiting area unsteadily, Mu Yun couldn't help showing sympathy.

"It seems that you still don't know how to be a teacher..." Li Jing shook his head and said, "The previous special training can be regarded as very strict and cruel? It seems that you need to work harder as a teacher, so that you can see the real severity Only with cruelty!"

Mu Yun shut his mouth fiercely, now he sympathized with himself more than he sympathized with Su Sheng.

Su Sheng turned his head, glanced at the figures of Li Jing and Mu Yun standing side by side, and couldn't help but sighed.

Although the boss has always been very strict and cruel to Mu Yun, especially during this month's special training, he often trains Mu Yun until his nose is blue, his eyes are swollen, his body is bruised, his eyes are black, and he doesn't know anything about it. , in comparison, the boss is much gentler to me. Even in the process of helping me revise the tactics, the boss is always calm and gentle, not rushing or rash, at most, when I am not enlightened. Rewarding a few chestnuts, violent teaching or something has never happened, and in retrospect, even in those days in Li's machine repair shop, the boss was a little stingy and gave less pocket money In addition to making me run errands a little more, in fact, I have always been gentle, considerate, polite and indulgent in my treatment...

But for some reason, Su Sheng found that he actually envied Mu Yun in his heart.Maybe it's because the boss can't see the hope of becoming a knight in himself, so he let himself be so indulgent?Su Sheng thought to himself, for his boss who is like a loving father, he turned into a strict teacher after meeting Mu Yun, is it also because the boss thinks that Mu Yun is a malleable talent who can become a real knight?

In the final analysis, the biggest reason why the boss would accept him as an apprentice is because he is Su Mugan's son...

Originally, this battle was intended to prove to the boss that even if he did not have the blood of a knight, he could rely on the skills of a mechanic to create a new path of knighthood. Besides...

Su Sheng glanced at the petite figure standing not far behind Mu Yun, and sighed again involuntarily.

Originally, he planned to show his hand in front of Xuenv, but now it seems that he has no chance...

I guess the girl doesn't know how to appreciate the heroic appearance of myself surrendering, right?

"Forget it, forget it, there will be opportunities in the future. People like Xiao Ye will one day become famous!" Su Sheng was still very comfortable, put his hands behind his head, and strode forward with great effort. Step by step, walk towards the waiting area.

The location of this battle is called Hongling, which is located on the Qiushan Mountain outside Yongjiang City. It is named after the magnificent red color of this mountain.Su Sheng heard that this red color was caused by a certain metal element contained in the geology, and this metal element happened to be one of the necessary materials for making Taiyi alloy.It is precisely because of this that Hongling is valuable as a trophy for Spring Hunting.It’s just that King Xiao Teng has always been rich and powerful, and he only puts this red mountain there as a landscape to enjoy, and doesn’t want to blow up the mountain because of the development of mineral deposits. The beautiful scenery around this red mountain has been well preserved to this day. There is also a small town at the foot of the mountain. The quiet river flows around the town. The windmills are spinning slowly under the blue sky. The green-painted roofs are in harmony with the red mountains. The entrance to the battlefield of Chunshou is arranged in this small town. in front of the square.

Su Sheng, as the heir of the prince of the northern region, has a special identity after all. In this extraordinary period, in order to prevent any accidents on the road, Teng Jiaxing cast doubts in this spring hunting battle. At the same time, the battle between Su Sheng and Mu Yun The armor was transported to the scene together, but Su Sheng did not put on the armor until he came to the scene under the protection of Teng Jiabing. Until now, the You family knight that Teng Jiaxing faced in this battle, and those who came to watch the battle People probably don't know who Teng Jiaxing fought in this battle.

Even on the short walk to the waiting area after he put on the armor, before he boarded the armor, he was protected by two teams of sharp guards arranged by King Xiao Teng. Nothing goes wrong.

It's just that no matter how good Teng Jiaxing's security measures are, it can't stop people's curiosity.The road leading to the waiting area is located behind the spectator seats, so there should be no spectators passing by, but behind the metal guardrails on both sides of the road, there are many people standing up and down.As Su Sheng walked along the road, he realized that he was surrounded by people, and seeing the bright turbans wrapped around the heads of these people and the unique dark and red faces of the mountain people, Su Sheng guessed that it should be this small town. Only the townspeople on the ground will have a way to go around to the back of the spectator seats.

The pressure of being a knight is really great... It was the first time that Su Sheng was surrounded by so many people watching intently, and suddenly felt that even the armor on his body became a little heavier. The guards are also under a lot of pressure: there are so many people, if someone shoots cold shots from somewhere, it is really hard to guard against. If these people squeeze the guardrail and rush over, the consequences will be even more unimaginable...

All the sharp guards were thinking this way, when they saw a petite and slender girl squeezed through the gap in the guardrail and stood in front of Su Sheng.

The little girl has big breasts and is quite courageous. Seeing her, the sharp guards surrounded Su Sheng to protect her like a scourge. They pointed dozens of guns at her without scaring her. Pants, but the voice of speaking is a little trembling.

"Hey," she said loudly to Su Sheng, "are you the knight who fought for Teng Jiaxing in this battle?"

There was a girl who took the initiative to talk to me!Su Sheng signaled all the sharp guards to put down their guns, and at the same time he was very excited: Although the pressure of being a knight is great, the benefits are also very good!
"That's right, my lord, I'm Su Sheng, the skilled knight who came to guard the Red Ridge!" Su Sheng puffed out his chest, trying to make himself look taller.Su Sheng was very excited when he announced his name to a girl for the first time, and even his voice was a little tense, but fortunately, the girl couldn't hear it through the helmet.

"Great!" Unexpectedly, the girl was even more excited than Su Sheng, "You must win!"

"This, this..." Su Sheng was shocked. He wasn't a world-renowned knight like the boss, but a girl would suddenly appear on the road to cheer him on casually?No wonder so many people want to become knights. The benefits of being a knight are too good, right?

"You must win!" The girl gathered herself together, with her hands behind her back, and said loudly, "The You family sent people to investigate this mountain a few days ago, and I heard their people say that if the You family wins In this battle, Hongling belongs to the You family, and they will blow up the mountain to open mines, and this town will be destroyed by them!"

"That's right!" The people standing behind the guardrail also began to add in chatter, "Our ancestors have lived in this town for hundreds of years. Back then, the Teng family discovered that there were mineral deposits in this Hongling Mountain. It is all because of the kindness of the little prince that we did not explode the mountain to open mines, so we saved the town, but if Hongling is taken by the You family, this town will definitely not be able to keep it! There are hundreds of people in our town, and we don’t know what will happen. Which territory was driven to by the You family!"

"No matter which territory the You family will drive us to, the river fields and fields that our ancestors have reclaimed for generations, the houses that have been painstakingly built brick by brick, and the family wealth accumulated over hundreds of years are all gone! "

"If the You family wins this battle, then we will really have no way to live through this day!"

"So you must win! Only if you win can we keep this town!"

Su Sheng stood there in a daze, looking at the townspeople who were talking nonsense.

He opened his mouth and claimed that he was a knight who came to guard Hongling, because in his consciousness, the victory of this battle was a city defense battle that could be exchanged for 3 points.Even if he can't win this battle, the result of the impact is that Teng Jiaxing can't get these 3 points, and in Li Jing's calculations, even if these 3 points are lost, it's no big deal.

But for the townspeople of this town, if he can't win this battle, what they will lose is the town where their ancestors lived for generations.

Su Sheng turned his head and looked at the beautiful red mountain. The stream flowing down from the mountain was cleverly led into an ancient canal. The clear water flowed slowly into the town. This is indeed a very beautiful place. It is no wonder that King Xiao Teng has not developed the mines here.The windmills spinning slowly under the blue sky, the patchwork green tile roofs, the flowers of various colors blooming in the yard, the fields covering the earth like pieces of green blankets...

If he hadn't won the battle, the town, and everything he'd seen would be wiped out.

but……

"Please be sure to win this battle!"

The small town girl standing in front of him said loudly, and she stretched out her hands that were behind her back.

Su Sheng blinked.Those beautiful hands held a bouquet of small flowers.

"You must win! All of us will cheer for you!"

The smile on the girl's face is as beautiful as a blooming flower.

The sweat on Su Sheng's body dripped down like water from a faucet.

Not only was the barrel-like armor heavy, it also suddenly became very stuffy and sweaty.

It's really hard to be a knight!
