We moved to Golden Courtyard

After a few whispered words from Aponia, the cat began to waver.

"Since you think your boss has a great physique, why not try it yourself? Just watching isn't very interesting..."

The cat swallowed.

Xu Qi, who was listening nearby, realized something was wrong—ah... why does it feel like Aponia is doing something very bad?

"Why don't you give it a try? Your boss won't object, will he?"

Pado, who had been somewhat hesitant, seemed to have some shackles in her mind broken instantly after hearing those words!

She tentatively reached out and tapped Xu Qi's chest.

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow and applied a little force; it became as hard as steel.

Pado's eyes lit up, and she gradually became dissatisfied with just poking and touching. Her little hands started to touch things randomly, which made Xu Qi glance at Aponia.

When he saw the nun nod slightly to him, he realized that tonight... he probably wouldn't be able to avoid eating even if he wanted to.

1193. Otto, have you thought about what you're going to face?

In the end, Xu Qi didn't get to eat the cat meat that he should have had...

Just as Paddo's manipulations were becoming increasingly excessive and her mind was about to spiral out of control, Dr. Mei suddenly opened Aponia's door.

Mei remained remarkably calm about the scene inside the room, while Pado, startled by the sound of the door opening, jumped back a considerable distance, immediately distancing herself from Xu Qi.

Aponia sighed with some regret; it seemed that tonight wouldn't be an option.

Xu Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Pado's head to comfort her, then looked at Dr. Mei who had just entered. He knew that something urgent must have happened.

After all, Mei, who came here asking to join, wouldn't act like this.

Aponia understood this principle as well. She put on her own clothes and then found Xu Qi's clothes that were scattered on the floor and put them on him.

"What happened?"

Dr. Mei smiled knowingly, but now was not the time to tease Xu Qi, and answered seriously.

"Just now, a large number of heat sources were detected gathering in the East China Sea near Okinawa. It seems that the Destiny's forces have arrived."

Clearly, Otto also possessed some kind of technology similar to space warp.

However, it's definitely not as convenient as Kiki's, where you can teleport anywhere. It has great limitations, otherwise they wouldn't be gathering at sea.

"They've finally arrived..."

As Xu Qi got up, his clothes were already on with Aponia's help.

"Don't disturb Mei, Airi, or Delta. Everyone else, come with me to the rooftop conference room." With that, Xu Qi led the way out of the room.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Tell Kiki to bring Eleanor and Karen over so they can listen in on the meeting."

Mei was somewhat surprised, after all, the two had been under house arrest there since the Battle of Vanaheim. Since they couldn't be persuaded to surrender, releasing them was out of the question.

With a major battle imminent, why bring these two uncertainties into the mix all of a sudden?

However, Dr. Mei didn't ask any further questions, trusting that Xu Qi would make his own judgment.

Soon, everyone in the courtyard, except for non-combatants, gathered in the rooftop conference room.

At the very center is a holographic projection created by Vilvi, which is now presenting the images detected by the satellite to everyone in three-dimensional projection technology.

As for how satellites are used...

You'll have to ask Haitu for that.

What we can see right now is that a large number of exoskeleton armor units have gathered near the Okinawa Islands, and there are even... six big guys.

Theresa asked curiously, "What are these things?"

Dr. Mei said with a furrowed brow.

“MRX-010 Psycho Gundam, but unlike the Gundam piloted by Kallen, this is a true behemoth, standing 40 meters tall and weighing 283 tons.”

These words immediately made everyone present feel uneasy.

After all, the combat prowess of the giant white goose piloted by Karen is undeniable.

Although he lost to Xu Qi's Haiwei, he was able to fight him off, but it was due to the pilot's skill level.

And this thing...

Standing 40 meters tall! That's about the height of Ultraman!

Xu Qi could only find humor in his misery.

"The location it appeared in is quite right, the Okinawa Islands, in Japan... It seems to be Ultraman indeed."

Sakura teased, "You still have the mood to joke around."

Has the Chinese government taken any action?

"They have detected a large-scale movement of heat sources, but because they have not yet entered territorial waters, they have neither the means to warn nor the means to expel them."

The only thing we can do now is to assemble our troops and prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.

Xu Qi frowned.

Just then, Qiqi brought Eleanor and Karen in. Xu Qi didn't look at Eleanor, but instead looked at the white-haired knight girl.

"If you don't want innocent civilians to be dragged into a pointless war and lose their lives, then tell me what this Psycho Gundam is."

Eleanor sighed. As long as they were here, how could they not help Xu Qi?

Sure enough, after understanding the situation, Karen hesitated for only a moment before speaking.

"This is the latest combat weapon developed by Destiny, carrying 10 Honkai energy particle cannons, 15 beam cannons, and a variety of heavy weapons."

Most importantly, he was connected to the Psycommu system, which enhances the Newtype's mental perception, making it easier to control the floating cannons.

Even so, operating this behemoth is extremely complex; only the elite among the new humans can pilot it.

No wonder even with Tianming's production capacity, they could only produce 6 units.

Drivers are the key factor in limiting the number of vehicles.

After Karen finished speaking, she looked at Eleanor beside her and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I can't allow innocent people to be hurt."

“I understand, Karen, I understand everything…”

Meanwhile, Xu Qi's side has already reached a conclusion.

"We cannot allow these bastards to enter China's territorial waters. The battlefield must be as far away from Shanghai, or rather, from any coastal city, as possible!"

It was probably not unexpected, or perhaps it was precisely because of Xu Qi that such a choice was made.

"We have no choice but to take the initiative."

After this conclusion was reached, the atmosphere in the meeting room became somewhat heavy.

Taking the initiative to attack means placing all the pressure on the courtyard side...

"Perhaps... things haven't gotten to their worst yet."

Eden's words drew everyone's attention. After all, this was the most reliable Eden, and everyone wanted to know what other solutions she had.

“I can negotiate with the Chinese government. The Chinese government has never stood idly by when war breaks out so close to the border.”

Xu Qi's eyes lit up; at that moment, he remembered so many things.

Eden's words make a lot of sense. How could the Chinese government possibly allow the situation to escalate?

This immediately sparked everyone's interest.

Sakura immediately said, "I'm going back to Japan now. The Eighth Division is secretly establishing an exoskeleton armor unit there. It's not many people, but it can still be used."

"Have Mebius and the others bring back a portion of the Divine Machines!"

"I'm going to Mount Taixu to invite all my senior brothers and sisters over... Yes! Junior Uncle! And Su Chang! They've always lived in Shanghai!"

Suddenly, Qiqi slammed her hand heavily on the conference table! The room fell silent as everyone stared at the sister who had just joined the courtyard.

"Since the strategic decisive battle is right here, let's gamble! Let's bet everything! The resistance still has its last bit of resources, we can use them all!"

Right here, right here in Okinawa… let's fight them to the death!

At this moment, everyone's interest soared, as if the previous silence had been an illusion.

There are always more solutions than problems. If we put our ideas together and think things through, we can always find a way to solve them!

Xu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face, a rare moment of comfort he had experienced in the past few days.

It feels so good to be a kept man.

1194. I only hope you are safe. - Xu Qi

When these girls in the courtyard get serious, their execution is quite astonishing.

Kiki first sent Sakura to Japan, and then immediately returned to Europe to bring back Mebius, Velvet, and their robot army.

They no longer needed to intercept reinforcements on the European battlefield. Char had overestimated Fate, and all the battles were progressing quite smoothly.

The difference between Otto's presence and absence is indeed enormous.

Of course, Kiki's mission wasn't just to bring Mebius and the others back, but also to bring back the first column of exoskeleton armor, which the resistance was using as a reserve force.

From troop assembly to relocating to Shanghai using space technology, all of this takes time.

Eden, too, needs time.

She and Anna rushed to the Shanghai Municipal Government Office that night, where a meeting of the highest level of secrecy of the Chinese government was to be held overnight.

Fu Hua also needed to urgently contact her junior uncle.

The treasure-hunting expert who had been missing for an unknown period of time, and Junior Sister Su Chang.

They would travel overnight to Mount Taixu on Eden's private plane.

Obviously, all of this will take time.

Xu Qi estimated that the assembly would be completed before 9 a.m., but what worried him was whether Otto's troops would make any moves during this period.

However, it's clear that Xu Qi needs time, and so does Otto.

Although it is unknown what kind of agreement he reached with the Japanese government, Otto's troops are already assembling in large numbers within the Okinawa Islands.

Xu Qi recalled that when he went to Japan for a trip, Jie Ge inadvertently attracted the revenge of Anti-Entropy.

Now it seems that this is probably an alliance between Destiny and Anti-Entropy.

Xu Qi began to pray that Cocolia would be among them.

To avoid disturbing everyone still asleep in the courtyard, the command center was moved to Möbius's underground workshop. Meanwhile, to prevent any unusual activity from Otto's side, Xu Qi and the others had already entered their respective exoskeletons and were ready.

Without Mebius, we have to rely on Mei to help verify various parameters.

Fortunately, Xu Qi has another helper.

"We've finally come this far..."

A fairy-like figure sat on Xu Qi's shoulders.

Kiana, who appeared increasingly mature, helped Xu Qi calibrate Haiwei's various data points one by one with a serene smile; she was already very skilled at this.

"Xu Qi, what if Otto can't do anything either..."

"Don't overthink it."

Xu Qi turned his head to look at the little figure on his shoulder.

If I had to say, whether it was going to Europe or completely turning against Otto, the most important reason was for the white furball in front of me.

“I said I would help you recover, and I will definitely do it.”

"Well, I believe you."

Xu Qi had a hint of bitterness on his lips.

"Shouldn't we be happier at this time?"

Kiana said somewhat embarrassedly.

"You're not a child anymore, Xu Qi."

"If I could, I really wish you could still be like before, carefree like a child."

"That……"
