Chapter 706 The Restless Sakura Man

Time flies, two years have passed quietly. During these two years, the Empire did not launch any wars. After conquering [Ten], it rested and recuperated, preparing for the next conquest plan.

Cornelia and Yang Hui, who had been staying in the imperial capital for two years, received an order from the cabinet meeting and immediately led the troops to the Sakura Country to carry out joint military exercises.

"Finally, I have a chance to move around. If I continue to stay in the imperial capital, my body will rust." On the warship, Cornelia couldn't wait to move around.

"Haha, you have been abused for a long time, and you want to take revenge on others. How hypocritical." Yang Hui rolled his eyes and complained bluntly.

When it comes to this, Cornelia's good mood is gone, and her face is so dark that ink is about to drip out.

In the past two years, not only the members of the Knights participated in Yang Hui's training, but even Cornelia herself joined in. Yang Hui advocates the principle of competition. Outside of training, people have to learn from each other.

Cornelia likes to spar with Yang Hui, not to mention once a day, at least five times a week.

But the result is obvious, Cornelia has never won.

"Tsk, don't be too proud, Yang Hui, I will beat you one day." This has become Cornelia's obsession. Originally, what she despised most was personal heroism, and her desire for personal strength was far less than the level of macro-strategic command.

But who let Yang Hui trample on Cornelia's pride? In the past two years, they have sparred countless times, and Cornelia has never even touched Yang Hui's edge. Every time she was defeated, she couldn't stand it!

In this regard, Yang Hui shrugged and didn't care. For him, it was better to kill time than to spar. Unless he was at the same level as Graham, sparring would not be difficult for Yang Hui and would not bring any improvement.

As it happened, there was no pilot of Graham's level in this world.

"I can see it."

Everyone looked through the glass of the aircraft carrier bridge, and the welcoming stage of Sakura Country had entered the sight of the naked eye.

"Haha, the little devils are getting more and more restless." Yang Hui sneered.

"Who let them control 70% of the world's sakura stone resources?" Cornelia also sneered. The Sakura Country thought that it could trample on the heads of the world's powers by controlling 70% of the sakura stone resources. That was really overthinking.

Even if it vigorously develops its military strength, so what? Even if it is an economic power, so what? The iron hoof of the empire will crush the false strength, and it will be done in the blink of an eye. By then, everything the little devils have will belong to the empire.

"Imperial sister, there is a problem with the opponent's formation. They are not friendly."

As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, Yang Hui saw at a glance the formation of the Sakura Country's welcoming fleet. It was not a welcoming formation or a guarding formation, but an offensive formation. Even the two-wing fleet quietly surrounded them.

"Wow? Interesting, this is an encirclement formation for annihilation operations."

"The most interesting thing is that they didn't even hang the national flag." Yang Hui laughed. The fleet responsible for welcoming the foreign fleet in the joint military exercise didn't even have a national flag. Coupled with the opponent's formation, what it meant was self-evident.

"Hmph, overestimating one's own capabilities, it's time to let them see the power of the empire." Cornelia said in a cold tone, and issued an order, "The fleet is deployed, and the members of the Knights are equipped with C-type equipment to attack."

"Yes, your highness!"XN

Hearing this, Yang Hui's mouth curled up. Cornelia had been silent for two years, and the iron-blooded female general came out again. Although he became a supporting role, the supporting role must also play his part well.

As he stood up, he asked Regni Regetta beside him: "Is the machine ready?"

"Ready."

"Then let's go."

"Yes, your highness."

Looking at his own special machine, Yang Hui raised his lips: "Although it is far inferior to Dawn, you should be able to fight side by side with me for a while, right? Athena."

The smooth body, unlike Glasgow, wears decorative wings (convenient for future modification), wears a golden helmet on the head, and the sharp corners on both sides are high-performance antennas. The body is mainly white, and the angular armor outlines the golden group. Two sharp high-frequency vibration particle swords are mounted on the waist. The golden arm armor on the arm can be unfolded to form an energy shield, which can be extended when attacking and used as an energy blade. He holds a V.A.R.I.S. variable ammunition anti-blaster in each hand, and on both sides of the sapphire on the chest are rotatable flying swallow claws.

Yang Hui's special machine, Z-00 Athena, the sixth generation Knightmare, is a machine made by combining the technological crystallization of the entire empire.

There is more than one special machine like Athena in this hangar. There are four standing on both sides of Athena. One has a long tail like a shoe, and the tip of the tail shines with cold light; one looks like a quiet girl, with a slender body and a nozzle on the back showing the word "speed"; one has two sharp horns on its head and a mighty hammer in its hands. The last one holds a shield in one hand and a gun in the other, and the two high-frequency vibration scimitars on the back are like a pair of ram horns.

Z-01 Alyes, Z-02 Dorothy, Z-06 Barug, and Z-08 Scorpion are special machines prepared by Yang Hui for Jeremiah, Veretta, June Luo, and Regni Regeta.

The bodies around the four special machines are all composed of the improved version of the fifth-generation Knightmare Sunderland, and the Knights' special machine Gloster, whose performance is infinitely close to the sixth-generation Knightmare. Compared with the simple armor of Glasgow, Gloster's armor is obviously thicker, just like the armor of a knight. The traditional sensor on the head is also cancelled, and replaced with a new built-in detection system. The weapons are still using standard equipment, a knight gun, a submachine gun, flying swallow claws, arm armor retractable blades and installed machine guns, all of which have been redesigned and upgraded by Yang Hui.

In addition, the C-type equipment in Cornelia's order is also what all the bodies are replacing now. The huge pedals on the feet are used for floating movement on the water surface. The pulleys at the heel position are removed and auxiliary propulsion nozzles are installed.

"Jeremiah, Vretta, Joan."

"Your Highness." X3

"After training for so long, the first mission is here. Are you excited?"

"Yes, your highness!" X3

Excited? Of course they are excited! After two years of hard training, learning all kinds of knowledge, and trying their best to become stronger, isn't it just waiting for this moment?

And they have no achievements, but they can take over the special machine that only the Knights of the Round Table can have from Yang Hui. What an honor it is?

They have been waiting for this moment for a long time, to show their training results and shine in front of everyone.

"Good answer, order, all members of the [Nightmare] Knights, don't fire a shot, capture the Sakura Country Fleet."

"Yes, your highness!" X3

This order is difficult for them. After all, annihilating the enemy and capturing the opponent alive are two different things, and they are not allowed to shoot, which is an additional restriction.

But they are not afraid, but more and more excited. The [Nightmare] Knights are Yang Hui's knights alone. Even the emperor cannot give them orders. They are the most special existence in the entire empire.

Special, but also attracts criticism. In the past two years without war, the entire knight group is under heavy pressure.

Now, it's time for their debut. The more difficult the task, the more they can prove their ability, prove that Yang Hui's vision was correct, and prove that they are qualified to be the only special one.

The hatch opened, and the sunlight entered the hangar. Athena was the first to leave the fixed frame and stepped on a pair of thin surfboards. Behind it was a knight with eyes emitting eerie green light.

"【Nightmare】 Knights, attack."

...

The commander of the welcoming fleet of Sakura Country looked at the approaching Bnitalia fleet, and the commander of Sakura Country smiled sinisterly.

"The arrogant and conceited Bunitalians were not prepared at all. It's a pity that we have to disappoint you."

"What the colonel said is right. The Bunitalians have always looked down on us. This time, we must teach them a lesson."

"Well, you are right."

"It's all because of the colonel's teaching."

"Order, the fleet will be deployed slowly. Wait until they enter our encirclement, and then..."

"Report! The Bunital fleet has stopped advancing."

"Stopped advancing?" The commander of Sakura frowned. The encirclement will be completed soon, but the other side has stopped advancing, which makes him worry that his intentions have been exposed.

"Colonel, don't worry. It must be a routine communication."

"Well, it's possible, then..."

"Report! The Bunital fleet has released multiple small units... for comparison... This is! It's a Knightmare!"

"Knightmare? How could it be a Knightmare? Isn't that a land combat weapon!?" The commander was shocked.

"It's definitely a Knightmare... so fast!"

"What!?"

Everyone in Sakura Country was stunned. They could see with their naked eyes that dozens of Knightmares were moving at high speed on the sea like people standing on surfboards, leaving long traces on the sea.

"This! How can this be... damn Bunitalia! Deploy all fleets and sink them!"

"Hey!"

The original purpose of the Sakura Country fleet was to destroy the entire Bunitalia fleet on the high seas. They were very confident this time. In order to prevent the Bunitalia Empire from finding evidence that they did it, they did not hang the national flag, the soldiers did not wear standard uniforms, and even gathered a large number of hackers at the land command post to attack the Bunitalia Empire's satellites.

At that time, they only need to blame pirates, terrorists and the like, because the other party can't find any evidence anyway.

This will not only show the strength of Sakura Country's military power, but also shake the Bunitalia Empire's status as a powerful country. If it can't even beat pirates or terrorists, what kind of powerful country is it?

So, no matter why the Bunitalian fleet sent out the Knightmares, they only needed to attack and kill all the Bunitalians here.

But at this distance, with the speed of the newly upgraded Knightmares, even before the battleship's turrets turned to the right direction, the Knightmares were already close to their faces, with the dark muzzles against the windows of the bridge.

"Surrender, or die."
