If it weren't for the fact that the members of Qiao Ting's battle team remembered the rules of the battle royale and didn't shoot at their cockpits, just this round of unexpected beam attacks would have broken many of the members of Feihong Military Academy's battle team.
Even so, many of the mecha's screens still flashed red. The A.I. sent out a notification saying "You've been sacrificed!". This notification indicated that the team member had been eliminated. These mecha operators punched their cockpits in frustration. The battle royale had just begun. They hadn't even done anything and were already eliminated … this Qiao Ting was too despicable. He actually attacked them, who were also attacking team members … were they not afraid of provoking public anger?
In their anger, they operated their mecha to land on the ground and waited for the staff of the battle royale to send a transport plane to take them back to the resting area. They decided to go back and keep an eye on Qiao Ting's team. They wanted to see what would happen to them in the end.
Qiao Ting had confused his opponents and caught them off guard. However, to be able to become the captain and members of an attacking battle team, some of them were still very strong. They reacted quickly and successfully avoided this round of sneak attacks from Qiao Ting's battle team.
Seeing this, Qiao Ting waved his right arm. His team members saw this move. As long as they were close combat mecha, including balanced mecha, they all changed their weapons to cold weapons and pounced on the few remaining mecha.
Meanwhile, the long-range mecha quickly switched to their specialized sniper rifles and aimed at the few special-class mecha that were already surrounded and trying to make a final struggle.
This was a one-sided slaughter. Although the last few Feihong mecha wanted to use self-harm to try and pull down a few of their opponents' mecha, the long-range sniper rifles had been targeting them. However, how could a long-range mecha with a sniper rifle who had been keeping an eye on them let them have their way? Seeing these mecha move, they immediately pulled the trigger and hit their opponents, making them regretfully withdraw from the competition.
Qiao Ting saw that all the mecha had landed on the ground. He raised his short-range beam gun and fired a shot at an empty spot not too far away from these mecha. The shot melted the thick layer of snow on the ground, and not only that, it also left behind a deep, charred crater.
When Fei Hong's team leader saw this, his expression changed drastically. He heard his mecha's A.I. finally say the words "You've already sacrificed yourself". His fake sacrifice had been seen through by the opponent. Qiao Ting had used his final attack to tell him that when faced with a real enemy, he would shoot the cockpit again to make sure that the enemy was completely dead.
Originally, he wanted to drag the remains of the mecha back to the headquarters to tell the regiment commander who had "killed" them. With Qiao Ting's shot, he no longer had a chance. He, who had already been sacrificed, would be brought to the resting area by the tournament's staff. At the same time, all of his means of communication would be cut off. He could only wait quietly for the battle royale to end.
"I hope the regiment commander and the others will soon discover the despicable actions of Qiao Ting's team." Fei Hong's team leader could only pray like this.
After firing that shot, Qiao Ting put away his beam gun in satisfaction. The first battle had been perfect. Other than a close-combat mecha from his team who had been counterattacked by the opponent before "dying", causing 30% of his mecha to be damaged, the other team members were completely unharmed and still maintained 100% of their combat power.
"Little Lu, when can your mecha be repaired a little?" Qiao Ting asked the team member whose mecha had been damaged.
Hearing this, Little Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Captain, with just the A.I.'s self-repair, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to restore it to 100%. In the end, it'll only be able to restore it to around 90% …"
The affected system was slowly being repaired under the A.I.'s effect, but the damaged outer shell of the mecha could not be repaired no matter how hard they tried. Faced with this situation, Little Lu could not help but sigh and say, "If only that Chang Xinyuan from back then had joined our battle clan." With such an outstanding mechanic, this kind of small problem could be easily solved.
The reason Qiao Ting had used such ruthless methods to try to recruit Chang Xinyuan into his battle clan was also because he had taken a fancy to Chang Xinyuan's monstrous talent in mecha repair and modification. He was afraid that such a prodigy would be taken away by others, so he had used such methods to announce his determination to get Chang Xinyuan so that the other battle clans would not dare to touch him. He had originally thought that Chang Xinyuan would bow his head in the end, but he had not expected that someone would come out of nowhere. Ling Lan had ignored his forcefulness and taken Chang Xinyuan under her wing.
What made him even more frustrated was that Chang Xinyuan would rather join the Lingtian Battle Clan, which had just been established and whose future was uncertain, than join his battle clan …
Little Lu's words made Qiao Ting's expression change slightly. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly asked, "Little Lu, is it because my methods are too forceful and domineering, making people hate me? Is that why I can't get the person I want?"
Little Lu immediately shook his head and said, "Captain, I don't think so. You're the captain of our battle clan. It's necessary for you to be a little forceful."
Qiao Ting's gaze was dark and unreadable. The heavy atmosphere made Little Lu, who was standing beside him, feel a great deal of pressure. Drenched in sweat, he secretly sent a message to his vice-captain, asking him to hurry over and save him.
"Captain, the team members have all rested up. I'd like to ask, what's the next move?" asked the vice-captain. At the same time, he waved his hand at Little Lu, telling him to find a chance to slip away quickly.
Little Lu stealthily operated his mecha to leave Qiao Ting's side. After returning to the team, Little Lu secretly wiped away his cold sweat. Just now, when the captain had asked him if he was so forceful that it made people hate him, he had been so shocked that his heart had almost stopped beating … sob sob sob, could it be that the captain knew that he had once hated him and was now giving him a warning? Little Lu began to let his imagination run wild. He decided that he would never speak ill of his captain behind his back again.
With the vice-captain's interruption, Little Lu took the opportunity to slip away. Qiao Ting was silent for a few seconds before he raised his head and asked his vice-captain, "Vice-Captain Zhou, do you think Ling Lan is considered forceful and forceful?" Vice-Captain Zhou was stunned.
He didn't know why Qiao Ting had suddenly asked about Ling Lan, but he still thought about it seriously before replying, "Regiment Commander Ling is very cold. I remember when he looked at me coldly, that feeling was like a cold knife cutting through my skin. It was cold and painful, full of pressure. He had the aura of 'those who submit to me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish.' He is forceful." Vice-Captain Zhou's last sentence was said firmly.
"We're both forceful and forceful. Why did he succeed while I failed?" A trace of confusion appeared in Qiao Ting's eyes. They were both the number one in their year, and they both controlled powerful mecha clans, but Ling Lan was even more carefree than him. Everything he did was to his satisfaction. On the other hand, ever since Ling Lan had appeared, he had been continuously thwarted. He couldn't help but wonder if Ling Lan was the obstacle in his life.
Qiao Ting's words shocked Vice-Captain Zhou. He quickly said, "Captain, you can't say that. A moment of success or failure doesn't mean a lifetime of success or failure. Captain, your future will definitely be stronger than Ling Lan's. " Vice-Captain Zhou's eyes were filled with confidence. He was Qiao Ting's staunchest supporter. He believed that Qiao Ting would definitely be like General Ling Xiao, creating miracle after miracle. The future would definitely belong to Qiao Ting.
Vice-Captain Zhou's words made Qiao Ting's heart tremble, and his eyes cleared. He was touched by his vice-captain's complete trust in him, but at the same time, he smiled wryly to himself. Ling Lan's actions during this period of time had greatly impacted him. Even though he kept telling himself that because Ling Lan was the child of a god-class operator, he had no future … However, deep in his heart, he still couldn't help but regard Ling Lan as an opponent he had to surpass in this lifetime.
"Looks like I have to defeat him once. Only then can I truly be free." Qiao Ting exhaled deeply. He finally understood his own heart. Since Ling Lan had unknowingly become his demon, then he had to break through this demon.
Ling Lan! I'll wait for you at the division. When you join the division, then it'll be time for us to fight again! Qiao Ting had long thought it through. He couldn't let Ling Lan affect his progress. He would walk forward resolutely. In the future, when both of them had joined the division, he would find a chance to resolve this ill-fated relationship between him and Ling Lan.
Having resolved the problem in his heart, Qiao Ting energetically prepared for the next plan. He quickly led his team members away from this place. They circled the skies above Area P and came to another point. In order to confuse the other military academies as much as possible, that attack just now had to appear as if it had nothing to do with him.
Not long after, the members of Feihong Military Academy who had been defeated by Qiao Ting were transported to the resting area by a transport plane. In the surrounding areas, they only knew that a battle team had been ambushed and completely wiped out. As for who did it, no one knew. In the headquarters of Feihong Military Academy in Area S, when the regiment commander heard this news, he instantly flew into a rage. He swore that he would definitely find the person who ambushed them and torture them to vent his anger …
In the monitoring room, when they saw Qiao Ting make use of the opponent's desire to cooperate with him to get close to the defenseless Feihong Military Academy and launch a perfect sneak attack on the opponent, taking down a 24-man battle team at the insignificant cost of only losing one mecha, the room instantly fell silent.
"Qiao Ting, how could he do that?" Suddenly, an officer said in disappointment.
"He actually attacked an attacking battle team. Isn't that a little too shameless?" Many people were dissatisfied with Qiao Ting's actions. They felt that it was not honorable.
"In order to win, there's no such thing as a bottom line anymore," everyone condemned.
"I remember that in the rules of the battle royale, other than yourself, everyone else is an opponent, an enemy. Why should there be a so-called bottom line when dealing with an enemy? "Someone raised an opposing opinion.
"But the main point of the battle royale is to fight for territory, not to eliminate the opponent," someone retorted.
"Eliminating the opponent, isn't it to prepare for the fight for territory? Without an opponent, those territories can be taken as he pleases. He didn't break the rules of the battle royale. " Very quickly, the monitoring room split into two teams. They either supported or opposed Qiao Ting's actions. They began to argue fiercely.
In the end, the flames of war burned onto Ling Xiao. The two sides that couldn't agree turned to General Ling Xiao and asked him what he meant.
Ling Xiao smiled and said casually, "I only know that on the battlefield, there's only life and death. There's no good or evil."
On the battlefield, it was extremely laughable to talk about the so-called truth, goodness, and beauty. You were only a person if you survived! Otherwise, even if you became something worse than a pig or a dog, you were already dead. What was the point? Who would care?
