As the cherry blossoms danced in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

The promise from the instructor did not bring surprise to Qin Huang; instead, it made him feel a chill that ran from his feet to his head!

Since it was a secret military base of the Federation, its defense measures were undoubtedly extremely strict and comprehensive. When needed, nearby troops would be ordered to come to the aid at any time!

However, now the military actually needed to mobilize these students who had not yet graduated to participate in the battle, which indicated how dire the situation there must be! Perhaps the troops guarding the base were almost all dead!

The students around him were not stupid. In just a few seconds, many of them showed signs of worry, indicating that they understood the rich rewards of this mission would not be easy to obtain.

"Report, Instructor, I have a question!" Xu Dezhi immediately raised his hand.

Luo Tianxiong's sharp gaze fixed on him, and he coldly spat out a word: "Speak!"

Xu Dezhi felt a chill inside, but since it concerned his life, he mustered the courage to ask: "How long will this special mission last?"

"Duration?" Luo Tianxiong's cold voice echoed in everyone's ears:

"Not too long, just hold out until the reinforcements from the nearby star domain arrive! It should take about seven to eight hours, if they don't delay!"

In other words, if some unexpected event caused the reinforcements to be delayed, the situation these students would face would be uncertain.

Mu Liya said coldly, "Students, although you have not yet graduated, once you entered the mobile warrior training program, you automatically gained the status of a military personnel! What is the duty of a soldier? I don't need to repeat it, do I! The Federation has spent a lot of resources to train you, hoping that one day you can contribute your strength to the peace and prosperity of this country!"

"Of course, if there are really people among you who are afraid of death and unwilling to fight, we won't force you! You can declare your withdrawal now, but from now on, you will no longer have the status of a mobile warrior!"

The formation was silent, and none of the 300 students spoke up, no one gave up.

Qin Huang's calm and steady voice rang out: "We are trained for a thousand days, and used for one day! The battlefield is where we, as soldiers, earn glory and demonstrate our value! Now the country needs our strength, and we have no reason to shirk our responsibilities!"

"Please give the order, Instructor!"

"Right! Please give the order, Instructor!" the students said in unison.

Mu Liya nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very well, you will be divided into three groups, each guarding an important target, and assisting the troops there to resist the beast tide. Of course, I and the other instructors will also join the battle! The specific combat command and mission map will be sent to your onboard optical brain shortly."

"Now I order everyone to immediately board the aircraft, then form up and head to the external landing pad to gather. There, military large transport ships will take you to the combat area!"

The students saluted without a word, then ran to their respective mechs.

Qin Huang was the first to rush into the gargoyle mech's cockpit, skillfully starting the optical brain, verifying his identity, and activating the system. The entire mech immediately emitted a continuous and slight tremor, as if a sleeping beast had opened its eyes.

Inside the cockpit, a pale golden light column about a meter in diameter descended from the dome above the control panel, enveloping his figure. It then transformed into a beautiful golden cocoon, tightly wrapping his entire body.

After modifying this gargoyle mech, its power had indeed increased significantly, but the energy consumption had also increased considerably. Therefore, he requested the ground crew to add two external energy storage tanks, an external mech-type phantasm matrix shield, a rotary cloud burst grenade launcher, a proton fission missile attack module, and more.

In other words, he was now a mobile humanoid killing machine! When all the firepower was unleashed, it could instantly level a medium-sized military camp!

The ground crew met his demands without hesitation. As the top student of this session, the only one with a dedicated bronze mech, he still received certain preferential treatment in this regard.

A few minutes later, over 300 mechs had all arrived at the landing pad outside the hangar. Two iron-gray military transport ships, each over 3,000 meters long, were hovering in the air at a height of 100 meters, like two dark, oppressive clouds.

On the broad, flat hulls, more than twenty huge gates had already opened, and thick, golden traction beams descended one after another, enveloping the mighty and fierce mechs, then slowly "sucking" them into the ship's belly.

The efficiency of the traction beams was extremely high, and within minutes, all the mechs had entered the transport ships. Then, the large thrusters at the rear of the ships burst into bright, deep blue flames, propelling the ships to suddenly accelerate, speeding towards the distant horizon.

In the cockpit, Qin Huang was intently reading the intelligence data on the optical brain. Originally, this information was highly classified by the military, and officers without sufficient clearance had no chance to see it. But now, due to the special circumstances and the needs of the mission, the higher-ups had temporarily granted clearance to these students.

Dinan Star was far from being as simple as outsiders imagined. For various known or unknown reasons, there existed a vast and deep underground world within the endless mountains on the planet's surface, more accurately, a world within the mountains!

One-third of the planet's surface was covered by various peaks and cliffs, and inside these towering mountains was a cave system of unimaginable scale, almost forming a continuous network!

When the Federation's exploration fleet first discovered this place, thousands of unmanned intelligent exploration robots transmitted data indicating that there was not only a vast and complete ecosystem inside, but also various rare resources of great use to the human world.

Subsequently, the Federation's military took over everything here and directly ordered that most of the mountains on Dinan Star be designated as SS-level military control zones! Any intruders would be shot without warning!

For many years, what the military had been doing inside remained unknown to outsiders.

"… Not only are there numerous military bases, but also many secret mines, military production centers, and large research institutes… It's practically an independent country! It seems the Federation has hidden quite a lot of assets here!" Qin Huang thought to himself.

In a short time, the transport ship had arrived in the mountainous area. Along the way, many floating combat vehicles and small to medium-sized warships were seen rushing from all directions, and the mech corps had already entered.

Large warships could not enter such places to participate in the battle, which was one of the reasons why the military found it difficult to quickly stabilize the situation! Otherwise, a batch of large warships focusing their firepower would make this planet-level beast tide nothing more than a minor disturbance.

The gates on the side of the warship opened, and the traction beams reappeared, sequentially dropping the mechs into the vast cave.

Thirty seconds later, the gargoyle mech landed steadily. The young man sensed that this was a dome-shaped space over a thousand meters high, with vast interconnected caves, tunnels, and military fortresses visible in the distance. On the plains, he could even see towering peaks that looked delicate and elegant, emitting colorful light, like natural lighthouses. These were the habitats of certain luminescent fungi.

The ground was mostly hard granite, and many areas had been specially modified by the military, with high-strength alloy tiles laid to meet the docking requirements of small to medium-sized warships.

"Qin Huang's team, follow me. Be cautious and support each other on the way!" Mu Liya instructed, then piloted her bronze five-star "Blood Wing Dragon" and flew southeast at a height of 100 meters.

The young man did not say much, just reminded Wu De and his brother to stay close to him in the communication channel, then followed the beautiful instructor.

Over a hundred mechs moved in formation, and along the way, various fierce native beasts jumped out to attack, but because they were not in large numbers, they were easily wiped out by the powerful mech squad!

As they moved along, it was clear that this world was colorful but filled with all kinds of dangers. Aggressive and combative native beasts were everywhere, and ordinary soldiers could hardly ensure their safety. Only groups of floating combat vehicles or mechs could move freely.

In the distance, continuous explosions could be heard, and the strange roars of countless beast herds echoed, mixed with faint vibrations. The air was filled with a faint血腥味.

The space inside the cave was extremely spacious, and with the spatial positioning system not being significantly affected, the mech squad moved very quickly, reaching the destination in less than ten minutes.

Battle traces could be seen everywhere on the ground, with the bodies of beasts torn apart by fierce artillery fire, piles of shattered rocks, and pools of blood that had gathered in the low-lying areas, emitting a strong, pungent smell.

As they got closer, they could see the twisted remains of floating combat vehicles and mech debris, with large bite and tear marks, occasionally containing the bones of human soldiers, damaged equipment, and metal fortifications.

Several kilometers away, countless bizarre and monstrous beasts were madly attacking a small city enveloped in a pale blue energy shield. Various sharp, hoarse, high-pitched, and mysterious roars combined into a rolling wave of sound, filling the vast mountain space, with an estimated number of over 100,000!

"These beasts' actions are actually directed by 'people'!" Mu Liya suddenly said in the communication channel.

"'People'?" Qin Huang was taken aback, but then understood her meaning.

Among the beast herds below, he could occasionally see creatures resembling giant apes running and shouting.

Unlike ordinary beasts, they had four arms, holding crude weapons like spears, bone horns, and stone axes, with simple animal skins wrapped around their lower bodies. They rode on the backs of particularly large beasts, using simple language and horn sounds to command the beast herds to launch wave after wave of continuous attacks!
