"Since you're done talking, I'll send you to the afterlife." As the ace mecha said these words coldly, his mecha suddenly moved. His left hand drew the beam saber from his back and he swung it viciously at the enemy mecha.
Seeing this, the enemy mecha immediately operated his mecha to retreat several steps to avoid the attack. Taking advantage of the momentum from the air to descend, the two added together — right now, the strength of an ace mecha was not something an ordinary advanced mecha could match. Even though the enemy mecha was somewhat underestimating the other, he did not dare to be too careless. An ace mecha was an ace mecha after all — the superiority of a mecha's level was still something he had to be wary of.
However, the next scene almost made the enemy mecha explode with rage. It turned out that the other had swooped down rapidly from the air, looking as if he wanted to attack, but in reality, his target was not him but the giant steel sword stabbed into the ground behind him. That ace mecha was about 3 metres from the ground when he swooped down at a low altitude, and then instantly flew back up into the air. At this time, that giant sword had already appeared in the ace mecha's right hand.
The ace mecha's right hand lightly jutted the giant sword, seemingly very satisfied. He hung the beam saber in his left hand back on his back and said, "Against you, this weapon is enough." These words made the advanced mecha almost die from anger. Using this kind of strength-type cold weapon as a weapon basically meant that in the other's eyes, he was not even a match at all — he was just cannon fire that could be casually abused. On the battlefield, strength-type giant weapons were used to conserve a mecha's energy while also being a convenient weapon that could quickly clear out miscellaneous soldiers.
"You, you're looking for death!" The advanced mecha only had time to say these words before he was interrupted by the other's high-speed attack.
Perhaps it was because the other's attack speed was too fast, or perhaps it was because he was too angry that his reaction was too slow — in any case, by the time the advanced mecha reacted, the ace mecha's giant sword was already right in front of him.
With no time to dodge, he could only raise both his hands and forcefully slap the head of the sword swinging towards him. The mecha took advantage of the force of this slap and his entire mecha was pushed back a step...
"Crackle..." Suddenly, where the two collided, dazzling sparks flew, almost blinding the spectating Gao Jinyun and the others. By the time their vision recovered, they saw that the two had passed each other. At this moment, the ace mecha was holding the giant sword in a reverse grip with both hands. The tip of the sword seemed to be pressed against the advanced mecha's back.
Meanwhile, the advanced mecha now appeared abnormally dilapidated. The initially sparkling white light of the beam shield was now dull and lifeless. Both arms of the mecha had been severed, leaving only the severed elbows exposed. The exposed circuitry was still flashing with sparks that had yet to disappear, proving that it had only just been damaged.
"How... is this possible!" The advanced mecha warrior forced these words out, his voice filled with pain and disbelief. Even an experienced ace mecha would need some time to finish him off...
"You talk too much..." The ace mecha's tone was as cold as ever. With these words, he suddenly drew back the giant sword he had pressed against the advanced mecha's back.
The ace mecha remained in his original position, so Gao Jinyun and the others might not have been able to tell what had happened. However, when the ace mecha drew back his giant sword, everyone understood why the advanced mecha had said those words.
After the giant sword was drawn back, the advanced mecha, which had initially appeared to only have severed arms, suddenly had two jets of blood shoot out from its cockpit, one from the front and one from the back. Only then did Gao Jinyun and the others see clearly that the giant sword had not just been pressed against the advanced mecha's back, but had instead pierced through the advanced mecha's cockpit. Just by looking at the width of the giant sword, they knew that the advanced mecha warrior inside must have been cut in two by the giant sword. There was absolutely no chance of survival.
"... My luck... is too bad..." The advanced mecha warrior used the last of his life to squeeze out these last four words.
His luck was indeed too bad, because the one he had encountered was not the inexperienced Thunder King Qiao Ting, but the one who had been abused and whipped by the learning space for as long as 16 years, the one who had only grown up after going through countless life and death situations.
Seeing the ace mecha swiftly finish off that advanced mecha, a complicated expression flashed across Gao Jinyun's face, but it was quickly replaced by joy. He was just about to open his mouth to speak when he heard the ace mecha speak to him first.
"Gao Jinyun, it's not suitable for your team to act alone. Quickly take your people and rush to a place two kilometers to your right. The coordinates are xx.yy. There are other teams with us. After you meet up with them, we will act together."
Hearing this, Gao Jinyun's expression turned solemn and he immediately replied, "Yes, Regiment Commander!"
"Also, after meeting up with that team, leave this place immediately. The further you go, the better. Do not come back no matter what." The ace mecha's initially indifferent tone suddenly became stern, his tone carrying an unyieldingness that did not allow for disobedience.
Gao Jinyun was taken aback by these words, but he did not agree. Instead, he asked seriously, "Why, Regiment Commander?"
"The enemy will be here soon. That enemy mecha just now has most likely already told his teammates that the Thunder King Qiao Ting is here." The ace mecha told Gao Jinyun his guess.
Gao Jinyun was also a smart person. The moment he heard these words, he immediately understood the ace mecha's intentions. His expression changed drastically as he said, "Regiment Commander, it's too dangerous for you to stay here and deal with them alone." Fighting all alone here against so many enemies who had heard the news was really too risky. For the sake of the New Cadet Regiment, he needed to stop this.
"This is a rare opportunity for actual combat experience. I cannot miss it. Besides, as long as there are no of our people around, I will have nothing to worry about. Even if I can't win, with this mecha, escaping is more than enough. You don't have to worry," replied the ace mecha calmly.
Gao Jinyun's bellyful of words to stop the ace mecha stopped in his throat. He found that the other was right — if they were not holding him back, it would still be very easy for his formidable regiment commander to escape from the attacks of a group of advanced mecha with this ace mecha. Right then, Gao Jinyun had not considered that if the enemy was a group of ace mecha, even if his regiment commander was operating an ace mecha, it would still be very difficult for him to escape.
Gao Jinyun, who did not have much actual combat experience, had not considered this point at all. Thus, he felt that his regiment commander was right, and so agreed. Very quickly, he led his team members away from that place, rushing towards the target his regiment commander had mentioned.
Along the way, the team members who had been listening to his conversation with the ace mecha were all confused. They had all thought that the ace mecha was the regiment commander of the Leiting Mecha Clan, Thunder King Qiao Ting. Hearing their captain call the other 'regiment commander', although they felt it was rather strange, considering that the Thunder King was the regiment commander of the Leiting Mecha Clan, there was nothing wrong with calling him 'regiment commander'. They were only curious as to when their captain had developed a relationship with the Thunder King, actually getting the Thunder King to come out and save them, even allowing them to join up with the team under him and move together...
Could it be that their boss had secretly betrayed Boss Lan and sided with the Thunder King? More than one team member thought of this. Even as they were extremely shocked, they also felt a little indignant. This was because they still admired Boss Lan very much. That regiment commander who was strong enough to defeat the number one Leiting physical skills practitioner of the upper grades... they believed that as long as Boss Lan was given time, he would definitely become the second Thunder King...
"Third Elder Brother, how do you know the Thunder King?" Finally, the youngest team member could not hold back his curiosity any longer.
Gao Jinyun was taken aback by this question. "Thunder King? I've only heard of him. I don't know him personally. "
"Then why are you listening to his orders, and even joining up with his team to move together?" The team member was even more dissatisfied at this. Was he still trying to hide it even now? Did their third elder brother really think of them as his brothers?
"Listening to his orders?" Because Gao Jinyun had been worried about whether Boss Lan would be safe in the upcoming battle, his attention had not been focused at all. His reaction to his team members' questions was noticeably slower. Only when he heard his team member say this did he feel that something was off, as if his team members had misunderstood something.
Focusing his spiritual power, he immediately understood what his team members had misunderstood. Gao Jinyun smiled wryly and said, "You all think that the ace operator just now was the Thunder King Qiao Ting?"
"Wasn't he? The only person in the military academy to advance to ace operator... other than the Thunder King, who else could it be? "asked another team member in confusion.
"That's right. Didn't that advanced mecha enemy also say that he was the Thunder King?" Someone pointed out the evidence.
Hearing his team members' words, Gao Jinyun sighed and said, "Yes, everyone thinks that in the First Academy, only the Thunder King has advanced to ace operator. So, no one would have thought that some people are born aberrations, existences that you simply cannot comprehend... I can only say that we are very lucky to have followed the right boss. The New Cadet Regiment will definitely become the strongest faction in the military academy."
Gao Jinyun's words left some of the team members rather confused, unsure of what their leader was trying to say. Meanwhile, those with quick reflexes immediately understood the meaning behind Gao Jinyun's words. One of the team members blurted out in shock, "Third Elder Brother, you're saying that that ace operator is our regiment commander Boss Lan?"
This question stunned all the team members. The team, which had initially been moving forward in an orderly manner, suddenly had a slight rear-end collision due to the team members forgetting the controls in their hands. Two or three mecha collided directly into each other, almost causing them to be thrown off their feet.
However, although Gao Jinyun's team was only equipped with intermediate mecha, the team members' control skills were still very solid. It did not take long for the team to regain their original order and speed, continuing to approach the coordinates.
After marching in silence for more than ten seconds, one of the team members finally began to howl excitedly in the team comms channel, "Ahhhhhh, our regiment commander is actually also an ace operator! He's only a first year, a first year ahhhhhh..." The howl almost shattered the other team members' ears, but no one dared to reprimand him, because what he said was exactly what the others wanted to say.
Hells, their regiment commander was too awesome! It was just as their leader had said — they had followed the right boss!
