Ling Xiao's words made the monitoring room instantly quiet down. Those who had originally looked down on Qiao Ting's actions instantly felt awkward. Because this was a battle royale between the Federation's military academies, these people did not treat this battle royale as a real war. That was why they paid attention to these minor details and forgot about the cruelty of a real war.
Ling Xiao saw that everyone understood this point and smiled warmly again, returning his gaze to the large screen. This made the officers in the monitoring room breathe a sigh of relief, grateful that General Ling Xiao had left them with enough face.
At that moment, Ling Xiao was thinking about where his precious daughter would be. He would not believe even if he was beaten to death that his valiant daughter would stay obediently in the headquarters … That was why it was said that the people who understood children the most were still their parents!
After Qiao Ting's victory, the next step was to bring his battle team to the other side of Area P and use the same method to get rid of the attacking battle teams from the other military academies on that side …
His actions made Area P and Area S panic for a while. The news that there was an ambush at the junction of Area S and Area P quietly spread in the headquarters of these two areas. In order to keep their surroundings peaceful, some battle teams from the headquarters began to form groups to search. Qiao Ting saw that the situation was tense and led his team back to Area S9, waiting for the news to die down before making a move.
A 24-man mecha battle team was slowly flying at a low altitude. They were the patrol team of the nearby headquarters. Knowing that there were ambushers, they carefully searched the surroundings of the headquarters, trying to find some clues. However, after searching for almost an hour, they did not find anything out of the ordinary.
They saw a circular flat area below, surrounded by towering trees. The team leader of one of the battle teams used his radar to carefully search the surroundings and found that everything was normal. Only then did he say to the team leader of the other battle team, "Brother Luo, why don't we rest here for a while?" The intense and high-intensity patrolling work caused the mecha operators to expend a lot of energy. They needed to replenish their energy frequently and needed to eat once every two to three hours.
The other team member called Captain Luo seemed to have the same idea, and so he said, "Sure, Brother Hu." He directly operated his mecha to slowly descend onto the circular flat ground.
The circular flat ground was very big. Even when 24 mecha landed, it was not congested at all. The two teams formed two obvious square formations, each taking one side. The two team leaders, however, were at the front of their respective teams, forming a sharp corner, occupying the center position of the circle. This kind of formation was both defensive and easy to communicate with.
These two battle teams came from different military academies. Although they had temporarily cooperated to search for the mysterious assassin, they were still on guard against each other. No one knew if the other party would suddenly turn against them and make a move on their own side.
After the two teams landed, they began to rest and reorganize. The team members all took the time to eat and replenish their energy. The battle royale had already begun, and no one knew if there would be a battle in the next second. They had to seize every second.
"Brother Luo, who do you think would attack the attacking battle teams of those military academies?" Captain Hu asked Captain Luo as he chewed on his dry rations.
Captain Luo replied, "I've inspected the area where Qiulin Military Academy was ambushed. That area is a no-man's land. Not a single military academy's headquarters is there …" He paused for a moment, and his face became serious. "I think that the ambusher is most likely an attacking battle team."
"Hiss!" Captain Hu sucked in a cold breath. He couldn't believe it. "That's impossible. Who would dare to do that? This will cause public anger. "
Captain Luo's face darkened. "I hope so too, but I can't think of anything. Other than an attacking battle team that would run so far away, the other battle teams would definitely not be too far away from their headquarters."
Captain Hu's mouth twitched. He had calmed down from his initial shock. He also felt that Captain Roger's words were very reasonable. For him to be able to succeed in his ambush so quickly and without giving anyone time to react, he might have made use of the fixed mindset that offensive battle teams would not attack offensive battle teams. In a situation where he was unprepared, he was successfully ambushed.
"If that's the case, we need to find the killer as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we let him hide around us, the next victim might be us." After Captain Hu said this, he was shocked. He looked at Captain Luo. Could it be that he was the killer?
Captain Hu secretly raised his guard. He didn't think that Captain Luo would raise his guard at the same time as he said this. Just as Captain Hu said, no one knew who the killer was. Then, it was very possible that the battle team they were working with at the last minute could be the killer.
Captain Hu carefully probed, "Brother Luo, tell me, which military academy's attacking battle team do you think is most likely to be able to do this?"
Captain Hu's words made Captain Luo stunned, but he was also relieved. Wufeng Military Academy and their Zheli Military Academy were both ranked below 200. They really didn't have the courage to do such a thing. He also felt the other party's distrust, so he thought of something and said, "Even if it was a sneak attack, to be able to take out Qiulin Military Academy, an offensive battle team ranked within the top 100, their strength must not be weak. If it wasn't a military academy in the top 50, they wouldn't be able to do this."
After Captain Luo said this, Captain Hu suddenly understood. His guard instantly dropped a little. He quickly said, "I think so too."
Seeing that his point of view was approved by the other party, Captain Luo became excited. He continued, "Actually, I'm more inclined to believe that it was done by one of the top ten military academies. No, no, it should be the top four. Every year, in the battle royale, aren't the four military academies the most intense?"
"But I've never heard of something like this happening before." Captain Hu didn't believe it.
"After being pressured, they might take the risk," Captain Luo said with a cold smile.
Captain Hu's eyes instantly lit up. "You have a suspect?"
"Which of the top four military academies are the closest to here?" Captain Luo didn't answer and instead asked a question.
Captain Hu said with great familiarity, "Area P47 is now confirmed to be the headquarters of the First Co-ed Military Academy. Area S9 is suspected to be the First Men's Military Academy. Area S33 is confirmed to be the headquarters of the Third Men's Military Academy. The headquarters of the Second Men's Military Academy is currently unknown. They might not be in these two areas."
"I didn't think that three of the top four would be squeezed together. Our luck is really bad. We actually drew the most competitive battle area." Captain Luo sighed softly. Right now, he only hoped that these three military academies wouldn't work together and eliminate them first …
After sighing, Captain Luo gave his answer. "The sneak attack must be from one of these three academies. I think that the First Men's Military Academy and the Third Men's Military Academy are the most likely."
"Why do you say that?"
"The First Men's Military Academy has been suppressed in second place by the Second Men's Military Academy for seven years. They definitely want to regain their former glory. Under such pressure, it's not impossible for them to do something like this." Captain Luo expressed his thoughts. "The Third Men's Military Academy is the same. As the thousand-year-old fourth place, of course they want to make a comeback. Plus, if they do this, the first to be suspected would be the First Men's Military Academy. With their position, it's easier for them to do this than the Third Men's Military Academy."
"You mean to say that the First Men's Military Academy is more likely to be behind this?" Captain Hu asked in surprise.
"Not really. It's very possible that the Third Men's Military Academy is trying to frame the First Men's Military Academy." Captain Luo smiled ambiguously and said, "It's also possible that the First Co-ed Military Academy secretly sent a team over."
"I have to go back as soon as possible and tell the commander about this." Captain Hu immediately made a decision. No matter which military academy did it, it wasn't good news for them, the middle and lower ranked military academies. They had to find a solution as soon as possible.
"Yes, I have to tell the commander about this as well. If we want to fight against these three military academies, we have to work together," Captain Luo reminded.
A look of deep thought flashed across Captain Hu's face. Perhaps this was the best way to deal with the three military academies. Unknowingly, Captain Hu followed Captain Luo's train of thought. Captain Luo saw that the other party didn't say anything and his smile grew even wider.
The two team leaders who wanted to report to the commander as soon as possible couldn't rest and eat in peace anymore. They quickly led their team members and left this place, rushing towards the headquarters.
When they flew out of the area, they saw a huge mound behind a towering tree somewhere in the surroundings. It suddenly moved and the thick layer of snow instantly split open, revealing the black metal surface inside.
The black metal suddenly stood up and the white snow fell to the ground. It revealed its true appearance. It was a special-class mecha.
With the movement here, the other originally quiet and hidden places also began to move. The six mecha that were scattered all over the place quickly gathered in front of this mecha.
"Boss, are we going to make a move?" Zilong asked excitedly. He had already been lying here for almost two hours. He was about to go crazy from lying there.
"Yes!" Ling Lan's right thumb and index finger quickly rubbed together. This was a small movement she made when she was thinking. "Li Lanfeng, Qiao Ting might be exposed. Can you think of a way to make up for it?" If he was exposed too early, it would affect Ling Lan's following plans. This was something that Ling Lan wouldn't allow.
Li Lanfeng was shocked at these words and quickly asked, "What's going on?"
Ling Lan had secretly recorded the conversation between the two team leaders from Little Four and told Li Lanfeng.
Li Lanfeng's eyes flashed and he said decisively, "Divert the trouble!"
"The Third Men's Military Academy!" Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng said the answer at the same time. Ling Lan couldn't help but smile. Li Lanfeng was thinking the same thing as her.
"You, make the plan!" Since Li Lanfeng wanted the position of strategist, she would give him the chance.
"Yes, Captain!" Li Lanfeng replied, pleasantly surprised. This was the first time that Ling Lan had let him make a plan on his own for an operation. In the past, it had always been Ling Lan who made the decisions herself, and he and Han Jijun would then fill in the details.
Li Lanfeng knew that this was the chance that Ling Lan had given him. He was grateful and secretly clenched his fists. He had to perform well and not let down the rabbit's trust and support. Good luck, Li Lanfeng! (The novel "It's Not Easy to Be a Man from the Future" will have more new content on the official WeChat platform.
