Far away from the Federation, in the strange star field that belongs to the Dry Empire outside the billions of astronomical units, the gorgeous flames of war bloomed violently and then instantly extinguished in the dark space, and the majestic Federation Fleet carried dozens of Federation mechanical troops, leaving from the Yellow Planet Transit Base, extending those few pre-planned passages, bravely rushing into the deeper belly of the Empire, and the war that was forced to be interrupted because of the first sequence of events determined by the Federation's central computer opened the curtain again.

The entry of federal forces into the X3 system has been very smooth, and the imperial royal family has inherited the strategy of exchanging space for time. Long before the start of the war, the plan for a major retreat had already begun to be drawn up, and in fact, when the federal forces forced their way through that space gate to the outer edge of the X3 galaxy, the Empire's vast retreat strategy had just come to an end.

Without too much resistance, without losing too many warships and mechs, hundreds of thousands of federal field troops successfully landed on the major administrative and mining stars, and after a short rest, the federal forces began to clear the remaining imperial forces on the surface of the planet, while the intelligence department took the important list provided by Colonel Xu Le to look around for members of the underground resistance group".

Smoothly and unusually, the victory was one, and the former enemy command of the Federation was not carried away by this huge advantage. But it doesn't mean that all Federation officers and soldiers can stay calm, in the eyes of many Federation generals who are entering the empire for the first time. The Imperial Beasts are really a little vulnerable, and their combat effectiveness is low.

It was in this atmosphere that the Fourth Army from the Second Military Region, in disregard of the strict orders of the headquarters, persistently and arrogantly reported to the headquarters, demanding that the pursuit of a certain electronic unit on the imperial side continue.

That night, Commander Yi Changtian angrily slammed the table.

The next day, the pursuit broke through the space gate, and the Fourth Army, which was about to approach L, had just landed on an unobtrusive administrative star, when it was suddenly attacked by an unknown mecha formation on the Imperial side.

That night, the mecha hit like a stream of iron, the sound shook the sky, blood and artillery fire were thrown in the field, the imperial mecha formation was strong and ferocious, and the Fourth Army of the Second Military Region of the Federation suffered heavy casualties, until late at night and near dawn, the commander of the army was sniped by a new imperial mecha.

The mech was covered in tattered metal boxes.

If the momentum of the Federation's assault on the Empire mainland in the last few months seemed as unstoppable as wildfire, or as never-ending as a wave crashing against a black reef, then ......

When the Imperial mecha was covered in tattered metal boxes and silently held a spear on the right. Thunder through the smoke and dust amid thousands of artillery fires, kill the Federation Commander with a single blow, and then stand proudly above the morning light of the hills.

The wildfire-like Federation forces were like a cold river in front of them, and those white waves were like being scorched into bubbles by the magma spewed out of the ground, and they could no longer move forward!

On the battlefield, it is rare for the highest military commander of a side to be directly killed, not to mention that it was the commander of a group army who died at that time, you must know that in the past decades of space wars. The Federation has only killed seven army commanders in total, and the Federation forces in the field have lost their supreme commander, and even the most critical morale has suffered a great blow, facing the hundreds of Imperial Wolf Tooth Mecha Iron Streams pouring out of the city, the Federation troops began to tremble, especially when they later learned that the mecha covered in tattered metal boxes and armed with guns on the Moliqiu was the legendary Imperial Princess......

This is a tragic surface war, and the Imperial side wants to use a lot of blood and cruel images to announce to the federal army that their bottom line is here, and the imperial princess Huai Caoshi does not hesitate to risk her life. Standing on the battlefield with dignity and killing the enemy, she wanted to make it clear to the Federation that her father would not retreat a single step back.

This war took place in the wilderness. In addition to the bloody and tragic, it has also been recorded in the history of human warfare for another reason, because this is the first pure mecha war in the universe after the Federation assembled MX mechs and the Empire assembled wolf tooth mechas!

The mountains are all over the wilderness, and the speed is whistling. Cold, tall, highly mobile mechs. Ignoring the support artillery fire from both sides, they charged, collided, fell, and got up, the deafening sound of metal, the mechanical stumps of flying stones, no sound could be louder, no momentum could overwhelm the hundreds of mighty alloy mechs charging at the same time, and the entire surface was trembling with fear!

In the face of the long-prepared ferocious counteroffensive of the Imperial side, in the face of Her Royal Highness the princess who was as strong as the sun and the moon, in the face of those wolf tooth mecha with high-speed mobility, and in the face of the strategic bottom line that the Imperial people had to protect to die, the Fourth Army, which had made the mistake of trade and advancement, paid an extremely heavy price.

If the situation on the battlefield continues to develop, perhaps the Fourth Army may really become the first unit to be removed from the war in its entirety, but fortunately, at the most dangerous moment, the 38th Division of the Xilin Military Region made a risky sudden landing on the back side of the planet.

Among the first batch of mecha units that landed suddenly. There was Colonel Li Feng, who had just arrived from the Capital Star Circle, and his special MX mecha.

Without resting, Madman Li indifferently and violently urged the black MX to pounce on the battlefield, and pounced on the ...... who stood indifferently in the mecha iron stream Peach Barrier Mecha.

The federal standard constitutional calendar is seventy-one years of winter. It was a victorious winter for many, and the troops were winning on the front line. The people who have been urging the star circle of the capital to fall into one carnival after another.

The commander who died at the front received the honor he did not deserve. The people of the Federation only knew that the enemy and us had temporarily maintained a balance of affairs on the periphery of the decaying galaxy, but they did not know how hard the former enemy headquarters of the Federation had worked hard to protect the forward troops from the administrative stars on the four edges, and how much blood and sweat Colonel Li Feng had paid to fight against the mighty peach miasma mecha.

Xu Le, who was authorized by the Ministry of Justice and secretly supported by the president, also seems to be winning section after section within the federation, by investigating military prisons and collecting analytical materials from research institutes on the wreckage of the ancient bell. He got more evidence.

He was well aware that in the particular context of the war, any investigation had to be carried out with great care, especially in order not to affect the overall morale of the Federation, so his investigation was conducted very low-key. Trying not to attract the attention of the big guys, it now seems that the effort has had some effect, until this point. No resistance has been met yet.

Xilin's family property lawsuit is also slowly but firmly advancing in accordance with the procedure, Xu Le, who has become the legal guardian of the princess of the Zhong family, is naturally forced to attend many court hearings, and today is undoubtedly the most important one, because according to the process, it is He Ying, the chief official of the Federation, who is presiding over the trial today.

There are still more than ten days before the New Year, and the snow in the capital SAR is becoming more and more enjoyable, and there are still traces of electronic fireworks on the field not far away, which should be the result of the people's celebration of the victory on the front line last night, Xu Le, who was sitting in the back row, squinted at the scorch marks on the snow through the window glass, held the slightly cool little hand of the small watermelon in his left hand, and said after a moment of silence: "Stay in the courtroom, no matter what Your Excellency the Chief Justice asks, you can just answer according to your true thoughts." ”

"Hmm. ”

The girl is not yet full, but the childishness between her eyebrows and eyes can already be described as childish, Zhong Yanhua, her left hand tightly hugged the old doll, and a slight upturned little nose squeezed out. She looked at the monotonous and boring snow scene outside the car window, couldn't help but pout, missed the beach a little, lowered her head and whispered: "Brother Xu Le, I'm homesick." ”

The delicate and childish voice seeped out from the neat black bangs, like the rain brushed by the strings, Xu Le was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Actually, you have been in the capital star circle for a longer time." ”

Zhong Yanhua raised his head, looked at Xu Le's eyes seriously, and said, "But I'm still a Xilin after all, right?"

Xu Le paused for a moment and nodded. Looking at the old doll under her left armpit, she asked suspiciously, "This is the doll when you ran away from home?"

"Yes. Zhong Yanhua lowered his head, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly replied: "I will never run away in the future, because ...... Mom and Dad are gone, don't worry

Xu Le turned sideways, squinted at the boring snow scene outside the window, looked at the Federal Supreme Court that was getting closer and closer, and was silent.

......

......

According to the complicated and troublesome judicial process of the federal government, especially when the lawsuit involves such a horrific subject matter of the Xilin Zhong family's property. The court trial will naturally evolve into a protracted series, so Xu Le knows very well that today's court hearing is more about announcing that the family property lawsuit has reached a new stage, and there will definitely be no result, so he is not so nervous, but he is inevitably a little curious about the old judge who is about to appear.

The only permanent position in the federal power structure is the Chief Justice of the Federal Supreme Court. The President shall not nominate or remove the Chief Officer without the approval of four-fifths of the members of the Governing Council.

At the age of forty-two, Ho Ying was nominated by the then president to be the supreme judge of the United States. This means that he is now over 90 years old, and he has been sitting in this position for 50 years.

What is the concept of fifty years?

Nine presidents came and went from power like a marquee, 2,000 legislators climbed in and out of the mountain full of ant nests, and the heads of the seven families changed one or two batches, and Li Pifu changed from an ordinary officer to a federal military god.

And Judge Ho Ying is, always has been, and always seems to be, the highest federal judge.

It's scary, or rather, respectable.
