Chapter 313 Angel
The so-called "Iron Warrior" Richard Paischer was born in the 89th Legion and belonged to a quite famous expeditionary legion in the empire. The sergeants who were born there may not necessarily have experienced many wars, but their experiences and knowledge were extraordinary and comparable to those of a full-level corps.
Paisher is also a big surname in the central star region, with many branches. The main line is a second- and third-rate military and political family in the central star region. There are many children in the family who are in the military or politics.
This Richard Paisher is a member of the main branch, but he is not among the favored ones. Entering the Expeditionary Corps and reaching this position is the result of his own hard work. He is good at using fully equipped heavy mechas, which can adapt to a variety of extreme environments. At his peak, he can complete a small war independently with dozens of such mechas.
Due to family orders, he did not retire until his physical condition did not allow him to do so or when he reached a certain age like ordinary soldiers. Instead, he quit the legion when he was less than a hundred years old and returned to his normal life.
However, although the other party left the army, he still could not forget his passionate fighting career in the past, nor could he let go of his companions who had been with him for decades. So in his spare time, he will also participate in various mecha competitions, and even find some retired colleagues who can't stand peace like him to have a competition.
Today is the third time he has held an open competition in Category A. Previously, most of them were small and medium-sized events in Category B.
Angel Burgan, the soldier of the "Thousand-faced Mecha", is older, but not much older. He looks like he is in his early one hundred years. When it comes to record and experience, Richard Bianhel is still far behind.
Angel Burgan was born as a civilian, from the Third Army, and eventually reached the rank of Brigadier General. He was almost able to obtain a lifetime honorary rank and stay in the Central Star Region to continue his development. However, in the last major battle he participated in before retiring, Angel was seriously ill for some reason and was unable to participate. Later, he was accidentally injured during a pursuit. After that, he could no longer adapt to battlefield life and chose to retire.
The reason why he is called the Thousand-faced Mecha is because he used a special type of mecha - a transforming mecha - all year round during his service. It belongs to the category of battlefield-specific mechas. It combines the characteristics of animal-type mechas and standard mechas, but also has sporadic characteristics of combined mechas. In short, it is a type of mecha with very complex craftsmanship.
This kind of mecha has extremely high requirements on the driver and operator, requiring the operator to have a strong level of mental strength, adaptability and senses. Many individual soldiers who have received strict training since childhood also have difficulty controlling such mechas.
Angel was able to master such a mecha and become one of its representatives. One can imagine the efforts he put in and the hardships he experienced. What's more, the other party was not born into a family with inheritance, but just a civilian family with no military background for several generations.
He did not choose to join the military from the beginning, but he had to choose to join the army when he encountered drastic changes when he was young, and then he made it all the way through hardships.
If the other party had chosen such a path since he was a child, his achievements would not stop there.
Of course, many things in this world are not known in advance. It all depends on one’s destiny. It's fate, and there is no choice.
Different but very similar to Paisher, Angel has never forgotten life on the battlefield after retiring, and often participates in various public events. There are even rumors that the other party will regularly participate in some anonymous competitions organized by underground organizations, which are so-called underground competitions.
Like today's type A competition, the opponent has participated in it countless times before, and has a lot of experience in defeating it. He obviously has more experience than his opponent today.
"...Classmate Zhou...Zhou Xiuwen! What are you dazed about? We have got the things, let's go quickly, there are more and more people." Jiang Hui reminded.
Zhou Xiuwen realized that he had been deep in thought for a while. He didn't seem to answer Jiang Hui's question just now. He just walked to the resource receiving port in a daze.
I am really... very uncertain. As expected, he lacks experience as his father said. It seems that he needs to take it easy next time. Zhou Xiuwen sighed secretly, and was somewhat glad that Jiang Hui didn't seem to delve into his unusual intentions.
The other person is very smart. He followed the girl as if nothing was wrong and told her about the two protagonists of today's game word by word.
As for Jiang Hui wanting to know who will win this game... who knows? But Zhou Xiuwen knew that only one side would win in the end today.
——————————————
So what are the two protagonists Jiang Hui and the others are discussing at the moment doing——
At Exit R of the arena, turning into a rest room designed for contestants to take a break, Angel took out the resin polymer pen cigarette that he never left his body from his pocket. This kind of product is similar to the tobacco products that were very popular among humans in the old days. It also has the effect of refreshing and slightly exciting, but it is not harmful to the human body.
There was no one in the lounge. Only one light was turned on, making the environment dark.
That lonely beam of light shines on the person under the light, looking extremely lonely. Thin smoke curled up, and there was a kind of vegetation fragrance that was unique to soft-nosed trees floating in the air. The light smoke brushed against the man's stern brows, showing a kind of erratic gloom.
The other party is in a depressed mood at the moment.
Suddenly there were knocks on the door. The person on the sofa did not take any immediate action, but calmly knocked on the pen and cigarette rod, watching the smoke gradually reduce and stop.
The person outside knocked on the door again, and Angel took out his handkerchief and slowly wiped the pen and cigarette rod, then stuffed it back into his pocket and walked towards the door.
There is not much time left for him, and he doesn’t know if he will be able to smoke such a good cigarette in the future. No, maybe this is the last.

T Exit
The mecha on the other side has already been prepared and parked in the preparation room in the inner passage . Another contestant in this competition has already entered the mecha cabin and is ready.
However, if there is a third person in the mecha cabin at this moment, they will find that Richard Paischer, who should be the controller this time, is not in the main position.
There is another person sitting at the main seat, frowning and carefully groping to familiarize himself with the internal structure of the rack.
Seeing that the old man who had been with him for most of his life was being manipulated by others, Charlie was helpless and a little distressed, but there was nothing he could do about it, because this was an absolute order from above.
As a soldier who has fought for the safety of the empire all his life, Paisher will still not forget his mission even though he has retired.
Right now I just hope that this young man can take some care of other people's property and not make too much of a fuss...
