Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr Even though Little Four was in low spirits, he still sent his coordinates and the word 'help' to Ling Xiao at the first opportunity. Then, he informed Ling Lan, and then fell silent.
Little Four was reflecting on himself. Ever since he had experienced those so-called human emotions, he had not acted as he had originally been programmed to do, following the rules of the learning space to serve the signees. Many times, he had clearly needed the signees' approval before taking action, but he had still chosen to act on his own accord.
In the past, he had not made any major mistakes, but just now, because he had neglected to ask his boss a question, not only had he done something stupid, but he had also delayed rescue, almost causing his boss to die... Little Four was extremely regretful at this moment. He decided that he would ask his boss more questions in future, and would not act so recklessly anymore.
Ling Lan had just finished communicating with Little Four when, on the other side, the imperial operator saw that his attack had actually been interrupted by Ling Lan's flying giant sword, and his mood instantly turned sour.
"Godd * mmit, actually daring to resist? Go to hell! "The imperial operator once again raised the gun in his hand in anger, but this time, he aimed it at Ling Lan. Compared to Qiao Ting, he hated this person who had interrupted his attack even more. This made him feel as if his dignity as an imperial operator had been violated. He wanted to kill this person and tell everyone that the dignity of an imperial operator was not to be violated.
"Attack together!" Ling Lan naturally would not wait for death; she chose to attack as a form of defence. Of everyone present, only she and Qiao Ting might still have some ability to resist. Anyone else going up would obviously just be sending themselves to their deaths. Thus, her words were directed at Qiao Ting.
When facing a terrifying imperial operator alone, Qiao Ting might have been afraid and resigned to his fate because the difference in strength was too great. However, when another comrade of the same level beside him chose to resist, the arrogant and conceited Qiao Ting would never allow himself to lose to the other.
Ling Lan tossed out these words and charged over. Ling Lan's speed was very fast — in the blink of an eye, she had reached the imperial mecha's side. Even though she had already lost her giant sword, she still had her beam saber. She raised her beam saber viciously and slashed at the opponent.
On the other side, Qiao Ting jumped up almost at the same time, turned on the engine, and flew into the air. The two beam guns on his back suddenly appeared in his mecha's hands. Qiao Ting pulled the triggers furiously, and the two beam guns instantly fired countless beams at the imperial operator like a meteor shower.
Faced with the reckless resistance of the two, the imperial operator was so angry that he laughed instead. "Petty tricks, you're really looking for death!" The mecha that had been suspended in mid-air suddenly disappeared from where it was, and the next second, it appeared 30 metres away, easily breaking through the combined attacks of Ling Lan and Qiao Ting.
Not only that, his disappearance caused all of Qiao Ting's attacks to fly towards Ling Lan. Seeing that his own attacks were about to hit his comrade by mistake, Qiao Ting shouted in shock, "Dodge!"
"What a dumb teammate!" Li Lanfeng, who was sitting beside Ling Lan, could not help but curse at the situation. Facing a long-range attack from an imperial operator who was proficient in long-range attacks, Qiao Ting's head must have been shot in the head.
Ling Lan did not say anything. Seeing the incoming beam rain, she did not panic. Calmly, she operated her mecha to evade swiftly, at the same time pushing her mecha's energy beam shield to its maximum. As long as they were not hit in the same weak spot, the beam shield of an ace mecha of the same level would still be able to withstand these beam energy attacks.
Of course, Ling Lan did not want to be hit. After being hit, even if her mecha was fine, a lot of its energy would be depleted. Moreover, due to the continuous battles that Ling Lan had been through, the energy in her ace mecha was already running low. This forced her to be frugal with her spending and use it sparingly.
Because Ling Lan's mecha's dodging speed was extremely fast, it actually left a trail of afterimages in its wake. The incoming beam rain brushed past this trail of afterimages and landed on the ground, kicking up a lot of dust.
Ling Lan had just dodged the beam rain, and before Qiao Ting could catch his breath, the imperial operator's attack had already arrived silently.
It turned out that after the imperial operator had instantly retreated 30 metres, Ling Lan and Qiao Ting had both entered his shooting range. Seeing that the attention of those two small fries was on each other, the imperial operator sinisterly raised the beam gun in his hand and swiftly pulled the trigger twice.
He wanted to finish off those two small fries together. Having been proficient in long-range attacks to begin with, he had already become a master of this sort of seamless directional change in shooting.
Ling Lan, who had just dodged the beam rain, and Qiao Ting, who had just let out a sigh of relief, suddenly felt a bone-deep chill creep up their spines. This was the danger warning that only ace operators could have — the two of them knew that the most dangerous moment had arrived …
Ling Lan quickly discovered where the danger was coming from. Perhaps it was a life-threatening crisis, for Ling Lan's finger speed once again exploded, so fast that her fingers could no longer be seen. Li Lanfeng felt that even his eyes could not keep up with her …
Ling Lan's mecha began to spin and dance. Because its speed had reached its limit, multiple afterimages appeared around the body of the mecha. This scene stunned the twelve mecha of Leiting, because they knew that this was the most advanced evasion technique of ace mecha — — Shadow Flash! Even Qiao Ting had not completely mastered this technique — he definitely could not execute it so accurately and perfectly.
Meanwhile, Qiao Ting rapidly operated his mecha to retreat. Raising the two guns in his hands, he aimed and fired wildly at that beam. At this point, Qiao Ting's long-range accuracy was fully displayed. Even though his mecha was retreating at high speed, the counterattacks from his left and right hands did not miss. When the beam was still about 10 metres away from him, it was finally neutralized by the energy of his guns …
Ling Lan's evasion was effective. The beam that had been aimed at her had brushed past one of the afterimages of her mecha and landed on the ground, instantly blasting a huge crater 10 metres in diameter into the ground. It was clear to see how powerful this beam was — even an ace mecha would not have fared well if struck by it.
Between the two of them, it looked like Ling Lan was in more danger, but in reality, Qiao Ting was having a harder time than Ling Lan. This was because in that instant, Qiao Ting had to ensure that every shot he fired would hit that beam. All of Qiao Ting's mental and physical strength had been raised to a limit. Thus, by the time he had used the same amount of energy to deplete this beam, his entire body was already drenched in sweat, and he could clearly feel that his hands were in a state of stiffness.
Two consecutive attacks successfully dodged by these two small fries before him who had not even taken him seriously at all. The imperial operator almost fainted from anger. He felt that this was a kind of humiliation. Thus, he took out another gun from behind him. The muzzle of this gun was wider than the previous one, and the part where the energy block was inserted at the back was also two to three times thicker than the previous one.
When Ling Lan and Qiao Ting saw this gun, their expressions changed abruptly. This was because they knew what this was. This was an extremely powerful long-range weapon among imperial mecha, with an area of effect attack. When fired, the beam would appear in a fan shape. Against this kind of weapon, whether it was Ling Lan's evasion technique, Shadow Flash, or what should be Qiao Ting's beam counterattack, both of them would be useless. This was because these two techniques were ineffective against this kind of area of effect attack weapon.
What worried Ling Lan even more was the fact that no one knew where these beams of light were headed. The uncertain nature of the situation not only put Ling Lan and Qiao Ting in danger, it also put the members of the other two teams watching from the sidelines in danger.
After the imperial operator picked up this weapon, a cruel smile finally bloomed on his lips. Right then, he no longer had any intention of playing games — he only wanted to wipe out all of these cadets. Only this way would he be able to quell the rage in his belly.
"All of you, go to hell!" The imperial operator pulled the trigger abruptly. Not only did he fire once, he fired several shots. Because of his extreme speed, the beam actually turned into a semicircle, shooting viciously towards Ling Lan, Qiao Ting, and the other team members below them.
"Dodge!" Ling Lan and Qiao Ting shouted at almost the same time. Compared to Qiao Ting, Ling Lan was even more anxious. This was because, after all, Zilong and the others were only piloting advanced mecha. As long as they were grazed by these energy beams, their mecha would definitely be destroyed and they would die. The power of an imperial mecha's weapon was really too strong. Even an ace mecha would probably only be able to withstand one energy beam attack even if they expended all their energy, much less an advanced mecha, which was vastly inferior to an ace mecha.
Everyone was dodging, but the level of the mecha still caused quite a few people to fall into dire straits. Ling Lan flew desperately towards the advanced mecha closest to her. She could not save everyone, so she could only save the team members closest to her.
It could not be denied that Ling Lan was somewhat regretful. If she had known that the enemy this time would be so strong, perhaps she would have let everyone hide in the air defence station …
With a "bang", a light blue beam suddenly appeared and directly hit these scattered light beams, and unexpectedly, the energy of these light beams was completely consumed in an instant. Not only that, the pale blue beam did not lose much of its energy. It struck the ground viciously, creating a large crater about 50 metres wide. Some of the team members closer to the crater, whether they were from Ling Lan's team or the Leiting Mecha Clan, were all sent flying by the violent tremors. Those with weaker control skills were even sent flying by the shockwave.
The imperial operator saw that his sure-kill attack had actually been destroyed by a small beam. His expression changed abruptly, and he turned to look in the direction the beam had come from. Right then, the initially empty air suddenly distorted, and a large, ancient mecha abruptly appeared there.
Behind him, twelve wings were spread out gracefully, beautiful and dazzling. A fiery red phoenix danced in the flames, representing his identity. The golden five-star emblem on his right arm indicated which nation he was from …
This mecha that he could not be more familiar with caused the imperial operator's heart to turn cold. As a top-class operator, everyone had a detailed report on the god-class operators of the various nations. He would definitely not be mistaken about the appearance of this mecha and the totem on its chest. This was the mecha that had been designated by the nation as the strongest god-class operator in the Huaxia Federation for the next hundred years — — Undying Bird Ling Xiao!
The imperial operator was stunned. Ling Xiao's team and Qiao Ting's people, with the exception of Ling Lan, were similarly stunned.
