Boom, boom, boom … The beams hit the mecha they had chosen. The attack range Ling Lan had chosen was the range where the beam gun's power was at its greatest. Additionally, the power of the mecha sacrifice was judged by the endurance of the cockpit. This round of attacks caused the nine opposing mecha to be instantly judged as "destroyed" by the A.I., and the mecha were forced to shut down. The nine mecha fell to the ground one after another.
"Bastards!" The two team leaders at the back saw this and were so angry their eyes turned red. They hadn't expected the opposing seven-man battle team to be so unafraid of death. Not only did they not run when facing their 24-man battle team, they even took the initiative to attack.
Because their line of sight had been blocked by the members in front of them, and because this had happened so suddenly, they hadn't realized that they had lost nine members in this round. After they realized that they had been attacked by the opponent, they could only angrily order, "Return fire!"
The remaining 15 mecha all took out their beam guns and fired at the opponent. Perhaps it was because they were in a rush to return fire, but they weren't like Ling Lan's team, who had locked onto the target they wanted to shoot at. Many of the beams missed their target.
However, there were still many beams that hit the opposing mecha. In the instant that they hit, the opponent's left arm suddenly released a light screen, blocking in front of them. When the beams hit the light screen, the light screen only rippled for a moment before disappearing without a trace. The beams they fired didn't hurt the opponent at all.
"It's a modified mecha!" A team member saw this and instantly exclaimed.
This discovery caused the allied battle team of the Second Men's Military Academy and the Federal Defense Military Academy to panic. Modified mecha were considered a luxury item in the Federation. They would strengthen a certain ability of a normal mecha, and some mecha modification masters could even increase it by several times. The opponent's light screen was unquestionably targeted at beam gun attacks.
No one in the military academy used modified mecha. It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but that the military academy didn't allow the use of modified mecha from outside. Of course, the modifications made by the school were allowed to be used. However, the modification methods proposed by the students usually only existed in the virtual world or were just some theoretical data. They couldn't actually appear on real mecha. After all, the students were still immature. Their theoretical research would always have some flaws, such as being unable to be transformed into reality.
Although they would not be able to use modified mecha, the students who understood modified mecha were well aware of their strength. In the history of mecha, there had once been a special-class modified mecha that had destroyed five ace mecha in a battle. Although there were all sorts of reasons why these ace mecha had been shot down, and there was even a certain element of luck involved, it was undeniable that the special-class modified mecha's performance was already comparable to that of an ace mecha. Otherwise, it would not have been able to destroy ace mecha one after another.
This was also why the members of the Second Man's team and the National Defense Alliance's team panicked when they found out that these mechas were modified. The seven mechas in front of them were three special-class mechas and four advanced mechas. After modification, they were equivalent to three ace mechas and four special-class mechas. What was an ace mecha? One ace mecha was enough to tire out a 12-man special forces team, let alone three of them. Would they really be able to take them down?
This was also why Ling Lan had the confidence to start a fight with the opponent. With this trump card that could block long-range attacks, Ling Lan was confident that she could reduce the opponent's mecha count to the same as hers before the opponent entered close combat.
"Calm down! Attack! Attack! " The two team leaders of the allied battle team shouted loudly in their team's comms channel. At this moment, if they panicked even a little, they would be annihilated. At this moment, they were somewhat regretful. Why had they been so careless? Why hadn't they thought that since a seven-man team with no formation dared to come out alone, they must have had a trump card up their sleeves? They had actually overlooked this point.
However, they were already riding a tiger and could not back down. Both sides would not rest until one side was dead. They could only brace themselves and take down all of the opponents. Otherwise, their ending would be defeat and leaving the battlefield. This was not something they wanted nor were they willing to accept.
Under the loud shouts of their team leaders, the members of the allied battle team instantly came to their senses. They fired beam shots wildly, attempting to break through the maximum tolerance of these light screens. They knew very well that if they could not break through these light screens, they would be helpless against the opponent.
After Ling Lan's team released the light screens, they also fired beam guns in retaliation. Compared to the opponent's random shots, Ling Lan's team was more focused on accuracy. What made them so daring was the beam absorption shield that Chang Xinyuan had custom-made for them. It would definitely be able to protect their mecha.
Under the fierce attacks of both sides, Ling Lan's team was still unharmed. On the other hand, the allied battle team of the Second Men's Military Academy and the National Defense Academy once again lost four mecha. Two of the four mecha were taken care of by Ling Lan alone.
The innate talent of Profound Insight once again displayed its strong power in this random shooting. Whichever mecha Ling Lan's eyes swept past, the weakness of that mecha would appear before her eyes. Thus, Ling Lan only fired two shots and took the victory.
"Motherf * cker, give up on long-range attacks and prepare for close-range attacks!" The two team leaders of the allied battle team were both smart people. They immediately knew that the beam guns were probably useless now. If they wanted to turn the situation around, they could only use close-range attacks to forcefully crush the opponent.
Seeing that the opponent had switched to close-range weapons, Ling Lan calmly ordered, "Prepare for close-range attacks!"
Following this order, Ling Lan's team instantly switched the cold weapons on their backs to their hands. Because Ling Lan liked to use large cold weapons as close-range weapons, the other members of the team only had one cold weapon in their hands. Even the long-range mecha operators were no exception.
"C3, C4, and C5, I'll be in charge. Zhao Jun, you'll be in charge of B5 and C6. Lanfeng, you'll be in charge of B7 and C7. The rest of you are free to do as you please!" From the first two rounds of beam attacks, Ling Lan could roughly see the true strength of the remaining 11 mecha on the opponent's side. Thus, she arranged a suitable battle formation for them.
C4 and C5 were from the Second Men's Military Academy and the Federal Defense Military Academy respectively. They were also the strongest in their respective battle teams, so it went without saying that these two people would definitely be the team leaders of these two teams. In order to ensure that none of the team members would be eliminated, these two strongest people would be taken down by Ling Lan. However, this wasn't enough. In order to allow most of the team members to be able to fight one-on-one, Ling Lan needed to intercept one more person. Thus, Ling Lan conveniently took one of the team members beside these two people into the formation.
Zhao Jun was now an ace operator, but his mecha was holding him back. Ling Lan didn't dare to assign three people to him, so she assigned the two relatively stronger special-class operators, B5 and C6, to him.
However, even though she and Zhao Jun had taken down five people, the remaining opponents were still one more than their side. Ling Lan had no choice but to let the last special-class operator in the team, Li Lanfeng, take on the opponent. However, due to the fact that Li Lanfeng's physique was weaker and his endurance was a problem, one of the opponents she gave him was a special-class operator and the other an advanced mecha warrior. Even so, Ling Lan couldn't help but worry about whether Li Lanfeng would be able to take on this difficult task...
As for the remaining four mecha, there were two special-class operators and two advanced mecha warriors. If Zilong's group of four still couldn't deal with them, or even ended up being eliminated, Ling Lan would definitely have to have a good "heart-to-heart" with them.
Ling Lan's allocation was very clear. Zilong's group of four quickly found the opponents they would be responsible for.
"B2, I'll be responsible!" Zilong set his sights on a strong special-class mecha operator. Having already reached special-class operator level, he really wanted to have a big fight with a special-class operator to test his true strength.
Because Zilong had successfully advanced to the next level on the eve of the Mecha Grand Tournament, just as the military academy team was about to depart, there had been no time for him to familiarize himself with his new special-class mecha. Thus, he had no choice but to operate his own advanced mecha to participate in the Mecha Grand Tournament. This became a matter of regret for Zilong — he secretly hated himself for not advancing a few days earlier.
C1, I'll be responsible! " Li Shiyu said first. He had set his sights on the last special-class operator. Having already reached the peak of advanced mecha warrior, he, who was close to reaching the realm of special-class operator, was more suited to take on a special-class operator than Luo Lang and Xie Yi.
Luo Lang had also set his sights on C1, but seeing that Li Shiyu had already taken it, he randomly chose an advanced mecha warrior. Xie Yi was very self-aware. Of the seven people, he was the weakest. Even the opponent his teammate had chosen was on par with him in terms of strength. In fact, due to the issue of age and experience, the opponent was more experienced than he was, so he had to go all out.
Hearing Li Shiyu take the initiative to take on that special-class operator, Ling Lan's eyebrows rose slightly. In her ideal match-up, that special-class operator Luo Lang was more suited to take on that battle. This was not because Luo Lang's operating ability was stronger than Li Shiyu's, but because of Luo Lang's innate talent. As long as he activated his innate talent, it would be able to amplify Luo Lang's mecha control...
However, this thought only flashed through Ling Lan's mind. Since her team members had made their own choices, as the team leader, the only thing she needed to do was to trust her team members 100%. She needed to trust that the other party would definitely be able to do it.
When they finally entered close combat range, Ling Lan suddenly shouted, "Attack!"
Ling Lan and the others, who already had a target in mind, turned into ferocious tigers following this order, fiercely pouncing towards their respective opponents.
Ling Lan was originally at the back of the battle team, but her speed was the fastest among the seven people. She stomped her feet and her entire mecha suddenly rose into the air, passing by Xie Yi and Li Lanfeng in front of her. Like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain, she pounced towards C3, C4, and C5, who were at the back of the opposing team.
C4 was the team leader of the Second Men's Military Academy. When he saw that his opponent was a special-class operator, his fighting spirit was instantly ignited. He shouted loudly, "I'll do it!"
Hearing this, C3 and C5 operated their mecha and prepared to circle around Ling Lan from both sides. Right at that moment, the large sword in Ling Lan's hand suddenly trembled. With a sweeping motion, a powerful force rapidly expanded from left to right.
"Clang! Clang!" Two sounds rang out. C3 and C5 hurriedly raised the weapons in their hands to block the sudden flashes of light. Two loud sounds rang out.
The mecha that had originally been about to pass by Ling Lan was pushed back several steps by Ling Lan's large sword. They looked at the special-class mecha in front of them with shocked expressions. They didn't think that this unassuming special-class mecha would actually want to intercept the three of them. Two of them were even team leaders. Was he crazy? Or was he prepared to sacrifice himself to create a chance for the other team members to escape?
