Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 326 See those two towers? Bomb them again!
Thanks to the "sacrifice" of the Silver Gates Guard, Cheng Tian and his group successfully evacuated.

This task was originally intended for the ordinary soldiers in the interception squad.

Having undergone extensive mechanical modifications, these former soldiers of the Principality of Leia, who had lost all fear, were clearly willing to sacrifice themselves for some ideal.

However, with Cheng Tian around, their sacrifice was spared.

With his high magic power limit and the very short summoning interval of the Prince's Sword, Cheng Tian releases a batch of fragile Silver Gates guards every five minutes as cover for retreat.

Although they had figured out that the Silver Gates squad was a bunch of fragile ducks that could be easily defeated by rushing in and randomly unleashing their attacks, their skills were no different from those of regular mecha before they were defeated. The footprints they left behind, the mechanical impact sounds when they moved, and the signal reactions detected on the radar were all indistinguishable from those of real mecha.

This caused the Blood Armor Squad, who were originally focused on charging forward, to slow down, fearing that some real mechs might be mixed in with them.

As for the Chosen Ones, one of them had its mech taken away by Cheng Tian on the spot, and even its energy armor was gone. Currently, it can only carry a spare helmet to fight against the bad weather, so it is useless.

One person is slacking off with all their might, while the other is just going through the motions.

The remaining two were either too far ahead to catch up in a short time, or they rushed too far ahead and ended up in the same situation as the Brodia.

In short, when Blood Armor and the Chosen One team managed to avoid entanglement with the Silver Gates Guard three times in a row by stalling for time, and finally stepped into the dilapidated city center of Gaul City after a delay of more than 15 minutes, Cheng Tian and his group had already successfully passed through the long tunnel according to the evacuation instructions.

When Blood Armor entered the area previously occupied by the Revolutionary Army, he blew up the tunnel, halting the pursuit.

The place where Blood Armor and Chosen One entered was the same place where Cheng Tian and his group had previously selected their mechs. At this moment, there was no trace of the Revolutionary Army there, only some useless items that were difficult to move.

Interestingly, for both sides' chosen teams, the first phase of the main quest was considered a success!

Cheng Tian's group's first mission was to block Earth's reinforcements, buy time, and eventually retreat.

Eileen's first mission was to liberate Gaul City alongside the Blood Armor Squad.

The Revolutionary Army withdrew, Gaul was liberated, and both sides achieved their initial objectives after their first encounter.

Of course, players from different factions don't know the true status of the other side's mission, so both sides are mostly in a state of comparative joy, watching their own main quest progress steadily while believing that the other side must have failed.

Only Cheng, who knew the inside story, and Eileen, who guessed that things were not so simple, were not affected by this atmosphere.

Soon, the high-ranking officials of the Principality of Leia, who were hiding in a secret underground facility in Gaul, decided to meet with the Blood Armor Squad, who were temporarily stationed in Gaul, only after confirming that the Reform Army had completely withdrawn.

In fact, the Blood Armor Squad could have used the last remaining observation traces and the space shuttle to try to pursue the Reformed Army. However, under the cowardly government's strong demand that "what if those rebels come back? You must stay here!", they, as official reinforcements, were forced to remain in Gaul, which was now synonymous with "the land of the gods," undergoing basic training while awaiting further orders.

Incidentally, Xiao Lan, who lost a Megatron, also received a new ride with the somewhat reluctant help of the local government, but it turned out to be an ordinary standard Gates.

There was no explicit punishment, but her combat power was significantly reduced. After all, Gates' overall stats were only half of her third-generation machine that had been NTR'd, and the old first-generation machine without transformation capabilities was poorly compatible with her abilities. This practically meant she was kicked out of the first combat order. In a sense, Cheng Tian's judgment was not wrong.

Of course, the Chosen Players are much freer than the Blood Armor Squad. During their forced stay, although they were "ordered" not to leave Gaul City, they did as much as they could within the limited area.

Some were trying to get closer to a member of the Blood Armor Squad. For example, Eileen, with her girl and half-elf blood, successfully established a superficially good conversational relationship with Sarah White, a half-human and half-League girl, and tried to get more information about the world's background from her.

Only the mixed-race individuals themselves know how delicate their situation truly is, especially for those who are mixed-race individuals from two different planets who have been locked in a blood feud for fifty years.

So Sarah, who appears to be very sunny and cheerful and incredibly kind to people, inevitably harbors a lot of troubles that she can't confide in purebloods... and that's when Eileen successfully took advantage of her.

As for Cheng Tian, ​​Eileen could see through his growth trajectory but not his character. In other words, Cheng Tian was definitely not the kind of person who would be assigned to the so-called villain camp just because he had a red name.

Considering the current planetary war context and the hints given by the dungeon entries, the labels of justice or evil cannot be arbitrarily attached to the Earth Federation or the rebels; there must be something fishy going on here.

However, as ordinary soldiers, even special forces soldiers, the Blood Armor Squad doesn't have much information at the moment. The high-ranking officials of the Principality of Leia, whom they can contact, have always maintained a lukewarm, businesslike attitude, leaving the players feeling powerless until the emergency notification from the Earth Federation arrives.

"What?! New York has been breached by those rebels who flew in from Leia! The entire East Coast has been turned into a mess? What the hell are the defense forces doing?!"

Jeff, who is known for his outspokenness, immediately swore upon receiving the message.

Upon hearing Jeff, whose muscles moved faster than his brain, swear on the spot, Ray, a Leia with an Earthling wife and two mixed-race sons, was slightly taken aback. Then, somewhat incredulously, he recalled the incident and said something.

"If I remember correctly, the army of the Principality of Leia also launched several large-scale offensives and paid an extremely heavy price before successfully entering the ground combat phase..."

New York City is the core city of the Earth Federation; its garrison should be among the largest on the planet. How could it have been so easily invaded by a small group of rebels?

It was Ray's words that suddenly made Eileen think of a certain possibility.

……

Earth, over New York.

"Orange, do you see that?"

"I saw it."

"Very good~ Your task is to blow it up again!"

Azrael, aboard the shuttle, pointed to the Twin Towers in the distance, which showed clear signs of reconstruction, and issued the second phase of the main quest to Cheng Tian.
