The impatient Li Yingjie couldn't wait any longer. He gave a new order to his team members. "Check your equipment!"
With this order, the impatience on Li Yingjie's face disappeared. His expression became cold. He carefully checked the equipment on the mecha, especially the mirror-like beam shield that Chang Xinyuan had prepared for them from the start. They were the weakest, but they already knew that at the most crucial moment, they would use this super strong shield to stop the attacking battle team with a self-destruct mode.
Everyone calmly checked their equipment. The self-destruct function of the mecha had been removed, but the A.I. could simulate the energy of the self-destruct, so it could still be used as an attack.
"Number 1 check complete!"
"Number 2 check complete!"
Soon, all the team members finished their checks. Li Yingjie decisively ordered, "Take off!"
The engines roared. Ten or so transport mechas and four or five advanced mechas slowly took off. The only thing Li Yingjie was happy about was that the transport mechas were not slower than the advanced mechas. This gave them a higher chance of successfully closing in on their opponents.
Han Jijun saw that Li Yingjie was prepared to fight without a care for anything else. He helplessly operated his mecha and followed. Since his comrades wanted to fight, Han Jijun wouldn't back down either.
"Commander, the mechas have appeared." The vanguard mecha in charge of scouting the outpost was the first to discover Li Yingjie's group.
Jiang Shaoyu was shocked. He saw 15 flashing red dots on the radar. He immediately zoomed in and saw the different types of mechas. He couldn't help but exclaim, "F * * k, what are those?"
"Captain, those are transport mechas." A team member recognized them.
"Looks like the First Men's Military Academy's headquarters really doesn't have any mechas. They actually sent out transport mechas." One of the allied battle teams saw these mechas and was very surprised.
Jiang Shaoyu saw this and his eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "I'll collect these broken mechas as interest!" He was the first to jump out and pounce towards Li Yingjie's ragtag team.
The two sides were getting closer and closer. Just as they were about to clash, a beam of light cut through the night sky and shot towards Jiang Shaoyu.
Jiang Shaoyu instantly felt a strong sense of danger. His first reaction was to operate his mecha to evade. The beam brushed past Jiang Shaoyu's mecha, but even though it was just a brush, Jiang Shaoyu's mecha's beam shield's energy was depleted by one third.
Jiang Shaoyu turned his head in shock and saw a mecha appear out of thin air behind him. He could not be more familiar with the appearance and colour of the mecha — it was an ace mecha of the same level as him. Could it be that Qiao Ting had arrived?
This was Jiang Shaoyu's first thought, but he immediately rejected it. This was because he could clearly see that this ace mecha was not the long-range mecha that Qiao Ting was used to, but a balanced mecha …
Jiang Shaoyu's eyes turned red. He already knew who this mecha belonged to — it was Lin Xiao, the one who had defeated him in the semi-finals of the single mecha competition.
"Lin Xiao, why are you here?" Jiang Shaoyu gnashed his teeth. Why did this Lin Xiao keep ruining his plans? He had been like this during the single mecha competition, and now he was attacking the First Men's Military Academy's headquarters.
"Don't you know that our First Co-ed Military Academy has already formed an alliance with the First Men's Military Academy? Since you're attacking the headquarters of our allied military academy, of course I have to come and help defend it," Lin Xiao replied calmly.
That said, Lin Xiao turned to look at Han Jijun and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm late. I've made you all wait."
"You're not late. You made it just in time," Han Jijun replied calmly, as if the scene of him waiting anxiously with a head full of cold sweat was just an illusion.
"This was well arranged by you," Lin Xiao praised. Although he had rushed all the way here after receiving the news, if it weren't for Han Jijun and the others who had planned to stall for time, it would probably have been too late by the time he had arrived.
Right then, Lin Xiao could not help but secretly admire Ling Lan. How much trust and courage did she have to have to be able to entrust the safety of her headquarters to these unremarkable mecha operators? Yet, these people's performance was so outstanding that even he could not help but envy Ling Lan for having so many capable people under her.
Lin Xiao and Han Jijun's nonchalant conversation completely angered Jiang Shaoyu. Jiang Shaoyu shouted angrily, "Bastard!" The next second, he raised his large sword and swung it at Lin Xiao.
Seeing this, a hint of a smile appeared on Lin Xiao's lips. The reason he had ignored Jiang Shaoyu was to infuriate the other. To be honest, Jiang Shaoyu's close combat ability was really very strong. Although Lin Xiao was also very confident in his own close combat abilities, close combat mecha were already buffed in the first place. If he allowed Jiang Shaoyu to calm down, Lin Xiao was not sure if he could take the other down.
Lin Xiao was a scheming person, so from the start, he had already set up a trap. His natural performance made Jiang Shaoyu fall for it without him noticing.
Lin Xiao quickly put down his large sword and began to fight fiercely with Jiang Shaoyu. Both of them were ace operators and their close-combat control abilities were extremely high. For a moment, it was hard to tell who would win …
The 10 mecha following Jiang Shaoyu saw that Lin Xiao had come alone and had a thought. They wanted to help Jiang Shaoyu and were just about to secretly shoot beam attacks to interfere when another large group of mecha appeared on the radar. It turned out that Lin Xiao had not only come alone but had also brought along quite a few fresh troops. There were battle teams from the First Co-ed Military Academy as well as battle teams from other allied armies.
This made them not dare to act rashly. About 10 seconds later, those mecha had already arrived. This made the 10 mecha even more afraid to move.
The situation was very good for the First Men's Military Academy. Just as everyone in the monitoring room thought that the Second Men's Military Academy was about to completely lose, Ling Xiao, who had been smiling all this while, began to look serious. Not only him, but He Xuyang also frowned.
"General, I know that there is definitely something wrong here, but I just can't understand how the Second Men's Military Academy can make a comeback." He Xuyang's sharp eyes allowed him to clearly see that Jiang Shaoyu's furious expression was faked. Otherwise, how could his every move be so clean and efficient?
"The alliance is not just around you," Ling Xiao reminded him softly.
He Xuyang suddenly understood. So this was where the danger lay.
"Ah, why did Area G2 send out a mecha battle team? What are they planning to do?" While everyone's attention was focused on the First Men's Military Academy, a low-key area that was overlooked by everyone unexpectedly quietly crawled out from their own turtle shell.
"Direction — Area G10 +. Final confirmation, G17!" Very quickly, as they moved forward, the monitoring room finally analyzed their final destination.
"Are they the allied army of the First Men's Military Academy?" someone asked in confusion.
"Wait a minute, zoom in on them." Suddenly, someone found something suspicious and immediately asked the staff to zoom in on the seven battle teams.
Those battle teams finally appeared on the big screen. When the logo on their chests was zoomed in, everyone finally understood the problem. These seven battle teams were actually not from the same military academy but were allied battle teams.
"Since when did Area G2 have allied battle teams?" someone asked in shock.
Area G2's military academy was really too unknown. Everyone had ignored them, so no one knew that an alliance had actually successfully formed right under their noses.
"I don't know what this allied army wants to do. Does it have anything to do with the First Men's Military Academy …" Everyone felt that the current situation had already become complicated and confusing. They also couldn't understand.
"General, it looks like those who have good intentions won't come." He Xuyang quietly said to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Yes, if they had stood on the First Men's Military Academy's side from the start, they wouldn't have done nothing when Jiang Shaoyu invaded. Now it looks like this allied army might be related to Jiang Shaoyu's side." Ling Xiao rubbed his fingers. He didn't think that his daughter's headquarters would be filled with so many obstacles. They had barely gotten through the first obstacle, but the second one was probably coming …
At this time, 12 hours had already passed. The sky was starting to brighten. Another white night was about to arrive …
After a good rest, Ling Lan's group of seven was finally ready to move. Everyone entered their mecha and operated their mecha to slowly leave Jianqiao Military Academy's headquarters and fly towards the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters.
Ling Lan didn't hide. Instead, she led her team members and flew openly. Along the way, they didn't see many patrolling battle teams. There were only a few battle teams scattered here and there. Compared to 12 hours ago, it was like heaven and earth.
Ling Lan knew why this was so. Little Four had already told her the reason. Jiang Shaoyu had gathered countless battle teams from the alliance and split them into several groups. One group was led by him to attack the First Men's Military Academy, while the other group went to attack the Third Men's Military Academy. Because of this, Qiao Ting was stuck at the Third Men's Military Academy and couldn't return to the headquarters to defend.
The patrolling battle teams didn't have much motivation because the entire Area Q was empty. When they saw Ling Lan and the others, they weren't interested in asking where they were going or what they were going to do. After all, the logo on their chests already represented Ling Lan and the others' identities. Moreover, not far from them was the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters. They didn't want to anger the people of the Second Men's Military Academy.
It should be said that the patrolling battle teams here were obviously in the dark. They felt that the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters was here, so of course there wouldn't be any problems.
This allowed Ling Lan and the others to proceed surprisingly smoothly. When there were only 10 kilometers left, Ling Lan suddenly gave an order that shocked the team members. Ling Lan had decided to abandon her mecha and prepare to sneak into the Second Men's Military Academy on foot.
Ling Lan had Little Four, an all-purpose weapon that could disable the opponent's mecha's radar. In other words, if Ling Lan operated her mecha and went in, as long as she wasn't seen with her own eyes, there wouldn't be any trace of her on the radar. However, Ling Lan wanted to use her own strength to complete her mission in this situation where she could guarantee her safety.
Without using Little Four, and without any interference devices on their mecha, once they got close to the headquarters, they would definitely be discovered by the mecha operators guarding the headquarters. At that time, if they wanted to enter the headquarters, they would have to forcefully attack.
If Ling Lan was alone, she would just forcefully attack. If she couldn't hold them off, she would still be able to escape safely with her abilities. However, it was different with her team members. Once they were surrounded, they might not be able to escape.
Ling Lan was a responsible person. Since she had brought her team members to charge and break through enemy lines, she also wanted to lead her team members and watch the battle royale end with no one missing.
