Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Tang Yu and the others, who had been supporting the frontlines with long-range attacks from the rear, were informed of the new batch of enemy mecha landing in the skies earlier than normal mecha because they were all ace mecha.
Tang Yu quickly locked onto one of the enemy mecha and pulled it in. Seeing the familiar outer appearance of the mecha, Tang Yu's expression changed involuntarily. He then randomly selected a few other mecha and quickly pulled them in. He found that most of these enemy mecha were ace mecha and special-class mecha, with a ratio of 1: 4 … there were as many as 500 of them!
Tang Yu knew that this was probably the enemy's final trump card, which meant that the final battle of this battle was about to begin!
"All instructors of special-class operator level and above, gather around me immediately..." As the highest-ranking instructor among the instructors, Tang Yu made a prompt decision to connect to the internal communication channel of the instructors and issue this order.
The instructors who had been scattered all over the place all stopped firing at Tang Yu's order and operated their mecha to draw closer to Tang Yu. In less than a minute, these experienced instructors had all gathered around Tang Yu.
Tang Yu shared the information he had gathered in the skies with all the instructors. At the same time, he split the instructors into several groups and informed them that as soon as these enemy mecha entered the low-altitude region of planet Newline, they were to attack and meet the enemy.
On the ground, those guarding the dormitory district were the Federation's ground armoured troops. Once the flames of battle broke out on the ground, the first to suffer would be these soldiers. This was also why Tang Yu had decided to have the battle take place in the skies. Moreover, behind the armoured troops was the dormitory district. Inside were those defenseless cadets. For the safety of the students, Tang Yu would not allow the mecha battle to take place on the ground.
All the instructors knew that this battle was extremely disadvantageous for them, because the ground troops guarding planet Newline still had too few ace operators. Even with the addition of the instructors, they were still somewhat lacking compared to the number of ace operators of the invading enemy.
Right then, Qiao Ting, who had also noticed the situation and rushed over, asked anxiously, "Instructor Tang Yu, what should we do?"
"Continue to cooperate with the ground troops and provide long-range support!" Tang Yu did not dare to let Qiao Ting fight with them. Mind you, if they were to fight against so many enemy ace mecha, even he would not be able to guarantee his own safety, much less protect Qiao Ting. For the safety of the students, he felt that it was better to stay behind the ground team.
Tang Yu's order made Qiao Ting extremely unhappy. He was an ace operator — shouldn't he be a bit stronger than the instructors who were still special-class operators? Since they could go onto the battlefield, why couldn't he? He still wanted to argue when he heard Tang Yu shout, "Qiao Ting, listen to my orders!"
Knowing Tang Yu's personality, Qiao Ting knew that Tang Yu had already made up his mind not to let him onto the battlefield. Even if he continued to plead, it would be useless. Thus, he gritted his teeth and replied bitterly, "Understood, Instructor Tang Yu!"
The speed of the enemy's descent was neither fast nor slow. Five minutes later, the enemy had officially entered the low-altitude area. Seeing this, Tang Yu immediately ordered, "Attack!"
At his command, Tang Yu was the first to rush out. He turned on the main engine and controlled his mecha to fly up into the air. Behind him, under his leadership, the instructors all rushed towards the enemies descending from the sky. The two groups of mecha in the air and on the ground finally met in the air 100 metres above the ground and began their battle...
"Regiment Commander, what should we do now?" Seeing that Qiao Ting had not obeyed his instructor's order to return to the rear of the ground team, remaining where he was, a member beside him could not help but ask.
"In such a dangerous moment, how can we hide behind the instructors?" Qiao Ting said agitatedly, "I want to go and fight. I want to protect our military academy. Those who want to fight with me, come with me. Those who want to listen to the instructors' orders and stay here, stay here. I won't force you!"
Qiao Ting's words made the members around him fall silent. Qiao Ting, who had always been Qiao Ting's most loyal supporter, once again jumped out to say in support, "The regiment commander is right. Right now is the most critical moment for the military academy. How can we be cowards and hide behind the instructors? I've decided to go with Regiment Commander. "
Seeing the members still remain silent, he said mockingly, "Have you all forgotten the oath you swore to the military flag when you entered the military academy? People who don't even have the courage to protect their own military academy are not fit to operate mecha! "
These words were unacceptable to many of the members. In their agitation, they all cried out, "I'll go!" "I'll go too!" "Me too!" 11 members shouted almost in unison.
In the end, only three people remained silent. Qiao Ting asked coldly, "Are you all prepared to stay here?"
The three of them were silent for a moment, and then one of them finally spoke up, "Instructor Tang Yu wants us to stay here. I think we should listen to the instructor's orders. The first lesson we learned was to listen to the orders of our superiors and not act on our own."
At these words, Qiao Ting's eyes narrowed and his entire being turned cold, making the other members feel uneasy. One of them was just about to open his mouth to persuade the other three when Qiao Ting said, "In that case, the three of you can stay here." That said, he turned to the 12 members who wanted to follow him and said, "The rest of you, follow me!"
Right after he said that, Qiao Ting was the first to operate his mecha and rush into the depths of the military academy. The 12 members did not dare to speak, immediately operating their mecha to follow. Very soon, Qiao Ting's group of 13 was swallowed up by the night, leaving the vicinity of the dormitory district.
The three people left behind saw Qiao Ting's disappearing figure. The mecha that had answered Qiao Ting's question suddenly slackened, almost losing his footing. The two people beside him reflexively supported the other to prevent him from falling.
"Just now, I thought Regiment Commander would flip out," said the member who had lost his footing with a wry smile.
"Me too!" The two mecha beside him also felt the same way.
"I'm worried that Regiment Commander will seek revenge in the future?" said one of the mecha worriedly.
"If we're all alive, he definitely will. Regiment Commander will definitely not let those of us who go against his orders off. However, if we're lucky enough to survive, I'm prepared to withdraw from Leiting," said the member who had answered Qiao Ting decisively.
His words stunned the two mecha beside him. It should be known that once they withdrew from Leiting, it would mean that they would be seen as traitors by the Leiting Mecha Clan, and it would definitely be difficult for them to move an inch in the military academy.
"Anyway, I've already finished all the exams I need to take. When the time comes, I'll just apply for an internship at the reclamation grounds. When I come back, it'll be time to apply for a division …" That person had not made this decision blindly; he had long made plans for the future. This also gave him the confidence to go against Qiao Ting's orders.
"Regiment Commander will go to the 3rd division. This is already a fact that has been confirmed. You can enter without having to take the exam. I heard that this was personally approved by the Third Marshal," said the other member enviously. This was definitely a glorious stroke of glory. It was said that only General Ling Xiao back then had such an honour. Back then, he had still been the Second Marshal. Now, he was already the First Marshal. He had also taken a liking to General Ling Xiao and had personally approved, directly naming General Ling Xiao to enter his division without having to take the exam.
"You can't apply for the 3rd division anymore. You can't even apply for any of the divisions that are friendly with it." Even the cadets knew that the divisions were divided into factions. Once Qiao Ting gained a firm foothold in the 3rd division, they would definitely be in trouble if they were to apply for a division of that faction.
"I will apply for the 23rd Division," said that person resolutely. "I'm not sure about the other divisions, but the 23rd Division, General Ling Xiao's division, is definitely unrelated to the 3rd division. Besides, Boss Huo and the others are also in the 23rd Division. Regiment Commander may become the second General Ling Xiao in the future and become a future prodigy, but I still feel more secure following Boss Huo. "
Regiment Commander Qiao Ting was too arrogant. Once he made a decision, he would almost never listen to anyone else's advice. Although this was the confidence that a successful person must have, he still felt that Qiao Ting was overconfident. This would not be of much benefit to the team's future. This was also why he had used Instructor Tang Yu's orders to refuse to move with Qiao Ting.
His words made the other two fall silent. After a few seconds, one of them smiled bitterly and said, "I'll have to wait and see. After all, that's a matter for the future. Right now, we should just think about how to survive."
His words were very reasonable. The three of them no longer had any desire to communicate. If they did not survive this battle, everything in the future would be just empty talk. Very quickly, they operated their mecha to return to the ground troops and began their previous mission, firing long-range beam attacks to help the troops in front fend off the enemy's powerful attacks.
The other member who had been silent all this while quietly connected to the comms channel of the member who wanted to apply for the 23rd Division and said to him, "When you apply for the 23rd Division, give me a shout."
Hearing this, the member who had been fighting against Qiao Ting smiled. It looked like he was not the only one who had noticed something wrong with Qiao Ting …
At this time, Qiao Ting was quickly leading his 12 members away from the dormitory district. Although Qiao Ting was confident, he also knew that in the face of a swarm of enemy mecha, it was impossible for them, these cadets who lacked combat experience, to take advantage of the situation. If they wanted these cadets to be able to bring out their combat power and fight the enemy, they would need to be far away from the main battlefield.
Qiao Ting believed that there would definitely be scattered enemy mecha in other parts of the military academy, and Qiao Lin's target would be these enemy mecha. This was also why he wanted to lead his 12 members away from the battlefield.
Unknowingly, the mecha team led by Qiao Ting and the mecha team led by Ling Lan who had temporarily retreated were actually on the same route. However, one of them had moved closer to the dormitory district to ensure their safety, while the other had chosen to move further away from the dormitory district in order to obtain battle results …
The battle was still ongoing, and the more it went on, the fiercer it became. Whether it was the Federation warriors or the instructors of the military academy, they were all caught up in the whirlpool of battle. Other than fighting, fighting, and fighting, as long as they did not die, they would continue to fight without rest. No one knew when this battle would end …
