Qiao Ting's group was resting in their temporary camp. During this time, they had pretty much cleared out most of the headquarters in Area P. What was left were some of their affiliated military academies. Although it was a three-school alliance, in reality, there were 15 or 16 military academies that had joined. This was also why they were able to clear out two areas so quickly.
Qiao Ting was resting in his seat with his eyes closed. He was thinking about whether or not he should go to Area M to investigate after Area P stabilized. Just then, he suddenly heard a beeping sound coming from his cockpit. He opened his eyes and saw that his mecha had received a call request.
Qiao Ting glanced at the screen. This was the emergency signal that the three schools had agreed upon. He raised his eyebrows slightly. What was it that made the other party so anxious? Without hesitation, Qiao Ting pressed the button to accept the call.
"Qiao Ting, I need support here. Please send a few battle teams to help me." A familiar figure appeared on the screen of the mecha. It was the commander of the Third Men's Military Academy, Yuan Su.
"What's going on?" Yuan Su's anxious face made Qiao Ting shocked. He immediately sat up straight.
"The team member defending Area M just sent a report. The Q and M alliance has organized 14 battle teams to attack the headquarters of the Third Men's Military Academy. With just our defensive strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold them off." Yuan Su smiled bitterly. Although he knew that the Second Men's Military Academy would definitely not let Area S and P go, he didn't think that they would be so aggressive and come so quickly. They had almost caught him off guard. Plus, with the other party's formation, it was obvious that they weren't just messing around. They really wanted to take down their headquarters and take away the results they had now.
Although they were competitors, Yuan Su didn't have much enmity towards the Second Men's Military Academy. He had allied with the First Men's Military Academy and the First Co-ed Military Academy only for points and to get rid of his eternal fourth place. He didn't really want to be enemies with the Second Men's Military Academy. However, the Second Men's Military Academy's current actions had completely angered him.
"Okay, I got it. Have you contacted the people from the First Co-ed Military Academy?" Qiao Ting asked with a heavy expression.
"I've contacted them. However, Lin Xiao has to stay in Area P and can't personally lead a team over. However, he has already informed the two battle teams in Area S to come over and defend together." Yuan Su told Qiao Ting about Lin Xiao's arrangements.
"Understood." Qiao Ting ended the video call, then tapped into the team channel and ordered, "All members, assemble!"
Following this order, all the members of Qiao Ting's battle team immediately started their engines and piloted their mecha to Qiao Ting's side. Because they had brought along all special-class operators, in addition to the ample preparation of resource agents, Qiao Ting's battle team had not lost a single member and still maintained a full complement of 24 people.
"Captain, are we going to attack the headquarters again?" The vice-captain asked excitedly. He had thought that there was nothing else for them to do.
"No, we're going to S33," Qiao Ting replied as he started the engine.
The vice-captain was shocked. Wasn't that the headquarters of the Third Men's Military Academy? Could it be that the captain was preparing to attack the alliance?
As if sensing the surprise of the vice-captain beside him, Qiao Ting glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "Yuan Su sent a distress signal. The Second Men's Military Academy has organized 14 battle teams to attack them. We're going over to help."
The vice-captain immediately broke out in cold sweat and said, "So that's how it is, that's how it is!" How could he suspect that his captain would attack his comrades? His captain was a righteous person … Of course, leading them to attack the attacking team here didn't count.
When all the members were preparing to leave, the vice-captain looked at the temporary camp that had been there for almost two days and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "If everyone leaves, what will happen to the camp here?"
Qiao Ting said indifferently, "It's just a temporary base. Whoever wants it can just give it to them."
"Didn't Captain Ling say that we should create a fake headquarters to confuse the other military academies? This … "The vice-captain was a bit hesitant.
"It's fine. The surrounding headquarters have pretty much been cleared out. Area P also has Lin Xiao holding the fort. He will restrain the military academies that are defending their headquarters. No one will attack our camp. They don't have the strength to do so," Qiao Ting explained calmly. "However, if S33 is taken down by the Second Men's Military Academy, not only will our alliance be heavily damaged, it will also allow the Second Men's Military Academy to officially enter Area SP, creating a huge problem for us. I definitely won't allow this to happen."
If they won, then the final outcome of the battle royale would basically be set. If the Second Men's Military Academy won, then the entire battle royale would probably change again. Everything would be hard to say.
Qiao Ting's explanation made the vice-captain understand that Qiao Ting had no choice but to go to Area S33. He had to protect the Third Men's Military Academy. Otherwise, the First Men's Military Academy would fall into a passive situation. The advantage they had built up at the beginning would be gone, and the outcome would be hard to predict.
At that moment, while everyone in Area SP and Area S33 were paying attention to Area S33, Jiang Shaoyu led six 12-man battle teams and quietly snuck into Area P from Area S, then quickly flew towards Area G.
In the monitoring room, the hubbub of voices from the beginning had now become silent. They were all guessing which of the three military academies would be the first to be heavily damaged. On the surface, it looked like the Third Men's Military Academy was the most dangerous, but everyone knew that in reality, the First Men's Military Academy and the Second Men's Military Academy were the real danger.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly. He knew very well that the First Men's Military Academy didn't have many soldiers left in their headquarters. Six battle teams were enough for the Second Men's Military Academy to take down their headquarters.
He glanced at Jianqiao Military Academy's headquarters in Area Q. Their only hope now was that Ling Lan would be one step ahead of Jiang Shaoyu and take down the opponent's headquarters, kicking the Second Men's Military Academy out of the competition. Of course, this also depended on the fact that Jiang Shaoyu's battle team didn't have anyone from the Alliance. Otherwise, everything would be hard to say …
"Qiao Ting has moved. His direction is … the Third Men's Military Academy. Not good, the First Men's Military Academy is in danger. " The people in the monitoring room had been waiting for Qiao Ting to move. They wanted to see if he was going to rush back to the First Men's Military Academy's headquarters. When they saw that Qiao Ting was moving towards Area S33, their expressions instantly changed.
At that moment, the people in the monitoring room could no longer be sure of the final result. The First Men's Military Academy, who had been in the lead the entire time and had a great advantage, was now in a state of confusion because of the Second Men's Military Academy's surprise attack. If they were unlucky, they might even be eliminated prematurely.
"This time, the First Men's Military Academy made a mistake. How could they be so confident that their headquarters wouldn't be known by others? The one minute of memory on the day of the lot drawing could very well expose the location of their headquarters, "someone said regretfully.
"The First Men's Military Academy is too confident and too reckless."
"Their commander is a bit too inexperienced. If Qiao Ting was the commander, this situation wouldn't have happened." Many people were unhappy with Ling Lan being the commander, thinking that her arrangements were full of loopholes.
Ling Xiao tapped his finger on the table. He didn't believe that his daughter would be so daring. She wouldn't have thought that someone would have memorized the location of the headquarters before the start of the competition. However, even if that was the case, his daughter still did it. What was the reason for her to be so daring?
Could it be that the headquarters had a secret and wouldn't be taken down by others? This was the only way to explain his daughter's arrangements … Ling Xiao realized for the first time that he couldn't see through Ling Lan's thoughts.
He Xuyang's expression was extremely heavy. He had repeatedly speculated and felt that the First Men's Military Academy was doomed this time.
"The S33 is fighting." While they were still worrying about the First Men's Military Academy's outcome, on the other side, the 14 battle teams of the QM alliance were fighting with the S33's outer defensive battle team.
Yuan Su saw that the outer defensive battle teams were being pushed back bit by bit. The opponent was getting closer and closer to the core of the headquarters. He was both angry and anxious. Although he had found many helpers, they were still some distance away and couldn't arrive in a short amount of time.
He knew that he couldn't let them be so arrogant, so he led all the battle teams in the headquarters to meet the opponent head-on. Thus, the S33's engines roared in the sky. Countless beams of light flew everywhere and mecha were hit one after another, falling from the sky. Some were from the Third Men's Military Academy, while others were from the QM alliance.
Yuan Su took care of one mecha, but before he could relax, another two mecha rushed towards him. The number of mecha in the QM alliance's battle team was one-third more than the number of mecha left behind by the Third Men's Military Academy. This caused the Third Men's Military Academy to instantly fall into a tough battle. If it wasn't for the battle teams outside rushing back to join in, their situation would probably be even worse.
"Another mecha battle team is coming." The Third Men's Military Academy discovered that countless mecha were approaching on their radar.
"It's … the QM alliance's battle team!" Seeing that it wasn't their own reinforcements but the opponent's, everyone from the Third Men's Military Academy turned pale. Another five or six battle teams had appeared. This was enough to crush the will of resistance of the Third Men's Military Academy's mecha operators.
"Our reinforcements are almost here. Everyone, hold on." Yuan Su shouted loudly, waking up his stunned companions.
"Hurry up and attack. Before the opponent's reinforcements arrive, take down the Third Men's Military Academy's headquarters." The QM alliance's commanding officer also gave the latest order.
Although the Third Men's Military Academy tried their best to fight back, their enemies were almost twice their size, so they had no choice but to retreat. The addition of the opponent's reinforcements caused the Third Men's Military Academy to "sacrifice" more and more mecha operators. If it wasn't for the fact that the Third Men's Military Academy's mecha operators were strong enough, even if they "sacrificed" themselves, they would have dragged one of them down with them or heavily injured the opponent, causing the QM alliance's battle team to lose a lot of mecha operators.
However, these losses were worth it for the QM alliance's battle team because they saw the hope of victory. Just as they were preparing to continue fighting, five beams of light suddenly shot towards them from afar. These beams of light came silently. Other than one that missed, the other four beams of light accurately hit four mecha. The four mecha were instantly shot down and fell to the ground.
At that moment, a dazzling mecha appeared in front of everyone. The surviving mecha operators of the Third Men's Military Academy, who were originally depressed, instantly cheered up when they saw this mecha.
"It's Qiao Ting. Team Leader Qiao Ting has come." The members of the Third Men's Military Academy shouted happily. The sudden surge of hope made their battle power explode. In their excited counterattack, they injured and defeated some of the unprepared QM alliance's mecha.
"Regiment Commander Yuan, I'm sorry. I'm late." Qiao Ting's deep voice came from the sky. Following this voice, the sound of mecha engines roaring could be heard from afar. 23 mecha could be seen flying towards them quickly. This should be the battle team that Qiao Ting had brought over as reinforcements.
"You're not late. Just in time," Yuan Su laughed heartily. He didn't think that Qiao Ting would personally lead a team over to provide reinforcements. He couldn't help but feel extremely grateful.
With the addition of Qiao Ting's 24 mecha, although the defending mecha were still at a disadvantage, the only ace operator present was enough to make up for this disadvantage.
Just as the commanding officer of the QM alliance's battle team was hesitating about whether or not to continue attacking, the sound of mecha engines could be heard from afar. Another 24-man battle team appeared in front of everyone. The person in the lead saw the confrontation between the two sides and said, "Regiment Commander Yuan, we've received orders from our regiment commander. The First Co-ed Military Academy's Ai Song is reporting in with his team."
"That's great! Please thank Regiment Commander Lin for me! "Yuan Su instantly smiled when he saw the addition of new forces. Right then, he felt that his decision to form an alliance with the First Men's Military Academy and the First Co-ed Military Academy was the right choice. They were trustworthy partners who hadn't abandoned them at the most dangerous moment. Moreover, Qiao Ting had even abandoned the First Men's Military Academy's headquarters to personally lead a team over. He would remember this kindness in his heart.
The QM alliance saw that the First Co-ed Military Academy had also sent a battle team over and knew that the situation was hopeless. He suddenly shouted, "Retreat!"
"Want to leave? No way!" How could Yuan Su be someone who was willing to take a loss? Seeing that the QM alliance wanted to run, he immediately ordered all his members to chase after them. Seeing this, Qiao Ting and Ai Song also followed.
After chasing for several kilometres, Qiao Ting finally stopped Yuan Su. After all, they were too far away from the headquarters. If the QM alliance found a loophole, then that would be bad.
Yuan Su, who had already vented his anger, had also calmed down. He knew that Qiao Ting's concerns were correct, so he led his members and the allied battle team back to the headquarters.
The QM alliance battle team was chased to the edge of Area S, which was close to Area M. Seeing that the opponent didn't chase after them, they stopped. The commander of the alliance told everyone to rest and regroup while he took out a piece of paper from his pocket. He opened it and a small smile appeared on his face. Strategist Zhuge had already predicted this situation. Now, they weren't trying to take down the Third Men's Military Academy's headquarters. Instead, they were trying to keep these reinforcements here to cover Alliance Master Jiang's movements.
"It looks like the Third Men's Military Academy's crisis has been temporarily resolved." When the people in the monitoring room saw this, they also knew that the Third Men's Military Academy, which seemed to be the most dangerous, had actually become the least dangerous one. On the other hand, the situation of the First Men's Military Academy and the Second Men's Military Academy was still unclear.
Yuan Su, Qiao Ting, Ai Song, and the others, who had temporarily returned to the headquarters to rest, quickly received the news from the team members who were monitoring the situation. Yuan Su was instantly enraged. "These bastards, they still haven't given up." It turned out that the QM alliance battle team had gathered at the edge of Area S, which was close to Area M. There was no doubt that they would continue to attack.
After venting his anger, Yuan Su finally said to Qiao Ting in embarrassment, "Captain Qiao, I might have to delay you for a while. Will this affect the matters at your base camp?" As long as Qiao Ting could stay here, no matter how many people the opponent gathered, Yuan Su was confident that he could defend his headquarters.
"You're the closest point in Area S to Area M. If you can't defend here, I'm afraid that I won't be able to defend there either. Why don't we work together to stop the QM Alliance here? " Qiao Ting made his position clear. Of course, he wouldn't tell Yuan Su the truth that his headquarters wasn't even in Area S.
"It looks like the main goal of this QM alliance battle team is to keep Qiao Ting occupied while also covering for Jiang Shaoyu's operation. Killing two birds with one stone. The little fellow who came up with this plan is very good." The people in the monitoring room began to analyze the deeper meaning behind the Second Men's Military Academy's actions, and they all began to exclaim in admiration. They were becoming less and less optimistic about the First Men's Military Academy. Even though the First Men's Military Academy had performed very well at the beginning, at this time, they had already forgotten that they had once praised the First Men's Military Academy's amazing strategy.
Time passed bit by bit. When Jiang Shaoyu's team appeared in Area G, Jianqiao Military Academy's headquarters was still abnormally quiet. It seemed that the mysterious battle team had no interest in continuing to fight and was only waiting for the final battle royale to end.
"You've already entered our airspace. Please leave immediately, or else we will fire to expel you." As soon as they entered Area G7, they heard the warning of the patrolling mecha operator.
"Alliance Master Jiang, what should we do?" Of the six battle teams on this trip, two of them were allied forces. Seeing that they had been discovered, they panicked.
"Attack!" Jiang Shaoyu's eyes flashed. Since they had already entered Area G, he didn't think that he would be able to avoid the First Men's Military Academy's search. With Jiang Shaoyu's order, the six battle teams roared as they charged towards the patrolling battle team. The long-range battle teams were long-range battle teams, while the close-range battle teams were close-range battle teams.
The patrolling battle team realized that the other party was not friendly. Adding on the fact that the other party had far more mecha than them, they immediately turned and ran. However, because the other party's firepower was too strong, they lost three or four mecha in an instant. However, the leader of the team was quite strong. As he dodged the beam attacks, he sent the news of the ambush to the rear.
"Beep beep beep!" Wu Jiong was in his mecha, monitoring the situation in Area G17. He suddenly received a message and opened it to take a look. His expression instantly changed. He immediately pressed down on the team channel and ordered, "All battle teams, prepare for battle!"
After saying that, he piloted his mecha to the headquarters. The moment the cockpit opened, he flew down like a flash of light and entered a tent.
Han Jijun was studying the map. Hearing someone come in, he didn't even raise his head and directly asked, "What is it?"
"The enemy is attacking us," Wu Jiong said anxiously.
"They're finally here. I've been waiting for a long time." Han Jijun raised his head and a cold smile appeared on his face.
