In the dense forest of Area S, in order to prevent themselves from being discovered, a 12-man mecha battle team was carefully moving through the forest while scouting their surroundings.
"Stop, take cover!" The frontline team member suddenly sent a signal. Everyone quickly operated their mecha to hide behind trees and rocks that could hide the mecha's body.
A few seconds later, they saw two battered advanced mecha with smoke billowing out of them. They were swaying as they flew towards them. Perhaps they had reached their limit, for the two mecha actually fell towards them.
Although these two mecha had tried their best to force a successful landing, their mecha were probably badly damaged and unable to grasp the direction they were heading in. As a result, they inevitably crashed and broke the branches of several towering trees as they landed. In the end, they crashed heavily into a thick pile of snow and slid forward by several tens of metres.
One of the mecha crashed directly into a towering tree before stopping its slide. Meanwhile, the other mecha lost control and rolled countless times in the snow before being stopped by the thick layer of snow.
After the two mecha fell, they lay motionless in the snow. Thick smoke billowed from the mecha, rising into the clouds.
The team leader hesitated for a moment before deciding to help the other party. On the battlefield, even if the other party was an enemy, out of humanitarianism, they would still help. Moreover, right now, the other party was not really an enemy.
He carefully operated his mecha and walked over, slowly approaching the mecha that was closer to him but was blocked by the large tree.
When he was about 10 metres away from that mecha, the external comms button of that mecha was switched on. Violent coughing sounds came from inside.
The team leader couldn't bear it and quickly asked, "You, do you need help?"
The person inside finally stopped coughing. The first thing he said was not to ask for help but to warn, "Run, they're coming." Immediately, another round of violent coughing followed...
The team leader was shocked. Could it be that group of assassins? He hurriedly asked, "Who are they?"
"It's the First Men's Military Academy!" The mecha operator's angry roar came from the advanced mecha.
"It really is them!" The captain was not surprised by the other party's answer. They had contacted the other military academies, and after some research, they concluded that the assailant was from one of the three military academies: First Comprehensive Academy, First Men's Academy, Third Men's Academy. As for the First Men's Military Academy, they were the most suspicious. However, without concrete evidence, no one was able to make up their minds to attack the First Men's Military Academy.
"How are you now? Could they still support it? If it's possible, I'll take you back to our headquarters. As long as you can prove that the attackers are from the First Men's Military Academy, we'll be able to help you get back at them, "the captain asked with concern. At the same time, he also told the other of his thoughts.
"No problem, I can support you!" The advanced mecha warrior immediately replied, "I won't let them off. My battle clan is only left with me and Little Wu... ah, is Little Wu okay?"
The captain hurriedly said, "Wait, I'll send someone to take a look."
"Hurry up. While we were escaping, the people from the First Men's Military Academy were chasing after us. If they catch up to us, we'll be in danger," said the advanced mecha operator anxiously. He wanted nothing more than to leave immediately.
The captain became nervous when he heard that. "How many people do they have?"
The advanced mecha operator replied, "24 people."
There were actually two battle clans. The 12 of them definitely wouldn't be able to stop them. The captain made a prompt decision. After his team members finished checking on Little Wu, they immediately left.
While waiting, the captain didn't forget to ask about the advanced mecha operator's condition. "Can you still operate your mecha?"
The advanced mecha operator angrily punched his control panel and said through gritted teeth, "My mecha is paralyzed. I can't operate it anymore. Damn it!"
Hearing this, the captain hesitated for a moment. However, the situation didn't allow him to think any further. He needed to bring this mecha operator back to prove the identity of the attackers. Thus, he ordered his team members to have that mecha operator sit in the co-pilot seat of one of their team members' mecha.
"Captain, the mecha operator in the advanced mecha has been hit in the head. He's unconscious and is bleeding a lot, but his life isn't in danger." At this moment, the team member who had gone to check on the situation reported the situation.
"Okay, move him to your cockpit. We'll go back immediately," ordered the captain quickly.
"Yes, Captain!"
The team members moved the injured and unconscious mecha operator to the co-pilot seat of the mecha. On the captain's side, he asked the mecha operator who was in relatively good condition, "Which military academy are you from?"
Because both of them were covered in wounds, the protective suits on their bodies were already stained with blood. This caused the logo representing the military academy on their chests to be somewhat blurry, making it difficult to distinguish the other's identity for a moment.
"We're from the Third Men's Military Academy," said the advanced mecha operator sheepishly.
The captain's heart skipped a beat. The Third Men's Military Academy was also one of their suspects …
"Ah!" In the team comms channel, a team member suddenly cried out in pain. The captain knew this was bad, but then he heard another team member shout in the comms channel, "They are …"
A "pa" sound came from the comms channel and the team member's shouts stopped abruptly. At this moment, how could the captain not know? He roared furiously, "Despicable!"
"Captain, be careful!" shouted the team member beside him suddenly in fear.
Several flashes of light suddenly bloomed all around them. Seven beams of light shot towards them. This sudden attack caught them off guard. The seven mecha were hit directly. The A.I. determined that the mecha operators had been killed in an instant and automatically shut down all functions of the mecha, locking them down.
The mecha that had lost all functions fell to the ground. Although the mecha operators inside were fine, they were unable to communicate and were unable to open their cockpits to come out. They could only wait for the staff of the Grand Mecha Tournament to come and decrypt them before they could regain their freedom.
The opponent's attack did not stop. Immediately after, a second round of beam attacks came pouring down. Although they had withstood the first round of attacks, giving the remaining three mecha enough time to dodge, facing attacks coming from all directions, other than the captain who had excellent control skills, the other two mecha were not so lucky. They were hit multiple times at the same time. Like their teammates before them, they were killed in an instant by the A.I. and fell to the snowy ground.
The captain knew that if he continued to stay here, he would definitely 'die'. After dodging the second round of attacks, he operated his mecha to flee towards one of the sides. As long as he entered the dense forest, with these natural shields, it would be very difficult for the opponent to hit him with beam guns. This was his only chance to escape — he had to take a gamble.
Perhaps his desire to escape was too strong, for the captain's hand speed actually broke through his original limit, increasing by another level. Fully focused, his operation and mecha were incomparably compatible, and he once again dodged another round of attacks from the opponent …
Seeing that he was about to escape the ambush, the captain roared internally, "Faster! Faster! "
With an irregular flash, he was about to dash behind that towering tree and officially escape the opponent's ambush … but before he could rejoice, his mecha was struck viciously by a powerful force, and his entire mecha was sent flying back.
With a 'bang', the mecha crashed heavily into that towering tree and then bounced back to the ground. The captain felt the blood in his chest churn, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out uncontrollably.
He raised his head to look ahead. A special-class mecha was standing proudly in front of him, holding a large cold weapon in its hand that was slightly lowered. It was this weapon that had sent him flying back, cutting off his chance of escape.
That mecha turned its head and looked over. Those large empty eyes seemed to be mocking, pitying, and disdainful. The captain's eyes were red as he looked at the chest of the opponent's mecha. The emblem of the Third Men's Military Academy was clearly flashing there.
The captain abruptly pressed the public chat button and used all his strength to shout, "The culprits are the Third Men's Military Academy!"
His voice rang through the air. The opponent was shocked and shouted, "Kill!"
Six beams of light mercilessly hit the upper body of the mecha. The mecha's A.I. immediately determined that the mecha operator was dead. The captain looked at the cockpit that had instantly lost its light source and turned pitch black. His eyes were red and his heart was filled with hatred. "The Third Men's Military Academy. I will never forget this humiliation." Because of his carelessness, his negligence, his team members had died here. He couldn't take responsibility for it.
After taking care of this 12-man battle team, the two advanced mecha operators who had originally taken the opponent's mecha opened their cockpits and pressed the surrender button right before they left. Seeing that the opponent's mecha had been locked, the two of them finally relaxed and returned to their own advanced mecha.
The mecha that had been emitting thick smoke suddenly disappeared. The two seemingly broken mecha actually stood up nimbly from the snowy ground.
"They're almost here. Let's go!" The special-class mecha operator who had sent the captain flying back looked at the sky to the left and immediately gave the order. Following this order, the seven mecha split up and scattered into the dense forest, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
A few seconds later, a mecha battle team arrived at the scene. Seeing the scattered mecha below, their expressions changed.
"Little Cao, go take a look and see which military academy these people are from." The captain frowned and ordered the team member beside him.
"Yes, captain!" Little Cao quickly operated his mecha to land on the ground. He lowered his head and carefully looked at the logo on the chest of the mecha before replying, "Captain, it's a 12-man battle team from Changkong Military Academy."
"There are almost no signs of fighting at the scene. It looks like a sneak attack. Could it be that attack incident that was circulating earlier?" The captain analyzed the situation after observing for a while.
"Also, just now, I think I heard someone shouting for the Third Men's Military Academy. That's why I came over …" The captain thought back to the faint shouting he had heard just now and felt that something was off.
"Captain, someone's coming!" The team member in charge of monitoring the surroundings suddenly reminded him.
The captain looked towards the radar area and saw that quite a few mecha were quickly approaching them. "Looks like they also know that there's a problem here." Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed drastically. "Oh no, I've been tricked!"
