Wang Shangmeng asked doubtfully, "I saw the Thunderstorm Star and Nightingale mechs. Are those Gu Ya and Ye Ying?"
It was actually Master.
But the battle of Xian Xia had made Gu Ya resent Wang Shangmeng.
Even Shen Jingming and Shu Feizhang would go through fire and water for Gu Ya, yet Wang Shangmeng had firmly stood against Gu Ya and even harbored thoughts of killing him.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Ya asked coldly.
Wang Shangmeng's tone immediately relaxed, "The Black Star enemy forces in McGonagall have been cleared. I've come with the McGonagall army to support Ans country."
Gu Ya, being geographically inept, then realized that McGonagall was that small neighboring country that had resisted the Black Star to the death.
Wang Shangmeng continued, "Xian Xia sent troops to secretly support McGonagall, and I was one of them. Of course, there are some old friends too."
"Gu Ya, Ye Ying," Hong Yan's voice came.
"I am 206," said the pilot of the Nine-Dian Beast.
Gu Ya immediately felt displeased. Well, his former defeated opponents had all gathered.
"Roar! Your new mech, you surprise me every time it appears," Wang Shangmeng praised.
As they spoke, the group from the other side had already flown to their front.
Gu Ya said indifferently, "Xian Xia secretly sent troops to support a small country against the Black Star. It seems that the so-called temporary peace treaty is already void."
Hong Yan said coldly, "The Black Star is also causing trouble for Xian Xia all over the world. Everyone is competing in secret, supporting proxy countries to fight. Why bother being so serious about a piece of paper?"
Gu Ya snorted with indifference and disdain, saying, "We are all birds of a feather."
"Are we going to fight?" Ye Ying asked softly.
Gu Ya shook his head slightly and said, "We are still Xian Xia people now, there's no need to start a war with them. Besides, they don't seem to be looking for trouble with us."
Ye Ying nodded and said, "It wouldn't be bad if we could win them over."
"Let's take it one step at a time."
After several more days of fighting, Gu Ya and his team, cooperating with Ans country, completely repelled the Black Star's invasion and even liberated neighboring countries.
The Black Star coalition on the western sea had no immediate intention of attacking.
Ans country managed to gain a sliver of respite from the war.
However, the situation within Ans country was not ideal. Many cities had been reduced to ruins, and numerous important factories and government buildings had turned into rubble in the flames of war.
The citizens of Ans country were struggling to survive amidst the ruins and smoke.
In the central power building of Ans country,
The haggard President of Ans country, mustering his strength, personally received Gu Ya and his group.
A third of Ans country's cities had been reduced to ruins in this battle, with casualties currently exceeding four million and still rising.
The war had only lasted five days, with most of the damage caused by the large-scale bombing on the first day.
After hearing the data, Gu Ya's face showed a hint of pain, and his heart was filled with extreme anger.
As long as the Black Star was not eliminated, the entire world would not be peaceful.
The meeting concluded, and the President of Ans country, along with his staff, left in a hurry to deal with the post-war affairs.
Several Xian Xia mecha pilots sat around the conference table in silence.
Their missions here were all completed. If there were no new combat missions, they could return to Xian Xia immediately.
Hong Yan, with his legs crossed and one hand supporting his chin, sighed softly, shook his head, and said coldly, "Do you think Xian Xia is benevolent? Gu Ya is right, we are all birds of a feather."
206 smiled helplessly and added, "A month ago, I helped a friendly country attack a Black Star colony and personally witnessed the Xian Xia army massacre unarmed civilians from a small country."
"In the face of war, all beautiful things are not worth mentioning."
"Kindness? It's good for feeding dogs. The price of kindness is a bullet shot into your own head."
Wang Shangmeng retorted, "It's just different standpoints. There's no need to discuss it in terms of ethics and morality. At the national level, survival and sovereignty are paramount."
"Huh?" 206 said indignantly, "What's the point of restoring a nation without ethics and morality? Kindness is based on the other party having sufficient sincerity. If the other party holds a gun, we will naturally respond with a gun."
Gu Ya tapped the table lightly and said, "Alright, arguing for so long won't yield any solutions. To put it bluntly, we are all just tools of our country."
The others stopped arguing and looked at Gu Ya.
Hong Yan asked, "Do you have a better solution?"
Gu Ya clenched Ye Ying's hand secretly, looked at everyone directly, and said calmly, "I want to establish a country of equality, justice, integrity, and transparency in Yadaya."
"What?" 206 exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Shangmeng's eyes widened too.
Hong Yan's lips curved into a smile of disbelief.
Gu Ya said steadily, "Yadaya is in complete chaos, and no country is willing to take it over. But in my opinion, it is precisely the ideal place to establish a nation."
"I have always planned to recruit personnel and prepare funds. What we need most right now is people. I need a group of capable individuals to create a new nation with me."
Hong Yan pushed aside his red hair, looked at Gu Ya with a different gaze, and asked calmly, "How can you guarantee your followers that the dragon slayer will not become a wicked dragon? The art of governing a nation is not something that can be done just by saying it."
Gu Ya said steadily, "That's why I need talent, talent from all walks of life. To supervise and support each other."
"I want to implement a system in the new country that does not exist in this world."
206 asked, "How can you guarantee that the indigenous people of Yadaya will accept you, an outsider, as their ruler?"
Gu Ya replied calmly, "Of course, I can't. But Ye Ying is half Yadayan. She has this right."
Hong Yan's eyes lit up with an excited smile, and he immediately said, "If there's anything I can do, just tell me."
"Hong Yan, you are committing treason!?" 206 exclaimed.
Hong Yan straightened his sexy long legs, stood up, shook his red hair, and strode out of the conference room.
...
"How is it, beautiful?" Gu Ya asked happily.
Ye Ying gazed forward and nodded with a smile.
They left Ans country and came to the southernmost tip of the Great Palm State.
On a deserted, majestic cape, they gazed at the turbulent sea, enjoying the magnificent, unappreciated aurora in the night sky.
It was as if the entire world belonged to them.
Gu Ya wrapped his arms around Ye Ying's waist from behind, a mischievous smile on his face, "Oh, you've gained another layer of soft flesh on your belly."
"Does it look like I'm pregnant?" Ye Ying teased with a smile.
"Forget it, you must have eaten too much," Gu Ya said gently, lightly rubbing Ye Ying's abdomen.
Ye Ying looked up at the aurora, the dazzling light changing on her exquisite face, dreamlike and beautiful.
Gu Ya stared at her obsessively. Nothing in the world was as beautiful as Ye Ying.
"Gu Ya, are you really going to establish a country in Yadaya?" Ye Ying's eyes flickered with a hint of worry as she asked softly.
Gu Ya inhaled the fragrance of Ye Ying's hair and said, "This is not a joke. If I dare to think it, I will definitely do it."
"But right now, I have more important things to do. I can put it aside for a while."
Gu Ya held Ye Ying's slender waist tightly and whispered, "Promise me, you will never betray me, no matter what I do."
Ye Ying softly replied, "Then you must not lie to me either. You must tell me everything."
"Silly, with the consciousness linkage instrument, I can't lie to you," Gu Ya replied.
"No, not the instrument, but sincerity," Ye Ying turned to Gu Ya, looking into his firm and calm eyes, and said earnestly.
Gu Ya recalled the flutter he felt when he first met Ye Ying, and it was the same now. From then until now, his feelings for Ye Ying had never changed.
"Of course, sincerity."
The two of them lay back gently on the air mattress, using the stars as their blanket and the sea as their bed, entwined together.
