Li Yingjie saw that the situation wasn't good and immediately ordered, "D * mn it, charge over there and stall the opponent to reduce the pressure on our brothers." After saying that, Li Yingjie activated his beam shield and pushed his engine's horsepower to the maximum. His mecha shot out like a cannonball towards one of the mechas.
"Roar ~ ~" 15 transport mechas of different shapes and sizes let out an angry roar and followed their team leader towards the opponent.
Although the operators of the logistics transport mecha team were all advanced mecha operators, they weren't rash or blind. The opponents they chose were also advanced mecha operators. While they were helping their comrades out, they also wanted to fight until the end of the battle royale.
With the addition of Li Yingjie's 15 mechas, Wu Jiong, Han Yu, Mu Shaoyu, and the others instantly felt the pressure lessen. The two sides fought fiercely. One side was clear that as long as they could break through these obstacles, the First Men's Military Academy's headquarters would be theirs. The other side was even more clear that if they didn't stop them and their headquarters was broken through, they would all be defeated and eliminated. This was an outcome they couldn't accept.
It should be said that the people of the First Men's Military Academy were all going for broke. Although the transport mechas maintained a certain level of combat power, compared to real battle mechas, they were innately lacking. This required a mecha operator's control ability to make up for it. However, to be able to participate in the Grand Mecha Tournament, even if they were just advanced mecha operators, they were still the most outstanding of the advanced mecha operators. This caused the transport mecha team that Li Yingjie had brought along, other than Li Yingjie who could still hold off the opponents, to fall into a crisis.
Gao Jinyun was the team leader of the Lingtian Mecha Clan's mecha team. Although his control ability wasn't bad, if he wasn't a member of the Lingtian Mecha Clan, he wouldn't even have had a chance to become a transport mecha operator in this Grand Mecha Tournament.
When he found out that Ling Lan had chosen him to be a mecha operator in the logistics transport mecha team, Gao Jinyun was undoubtedly excited. He was very grateful to Ling Lan and was even more thankful that he had decisively followed Boss Lan to attack the warship when he first entered the academy. This was the thing he was most proud of in his life and also the most accurate thing he had done. It gave him the opportunity that everyone was envious of.
Gao Jinyun knew that his control skills were among the weakest of all the participating members. Thus, every time he accepted a mission to transport supplies, he would be extremely careful, trying his best not to make a mistake and not embarrass Boss Lan.
In reality, when Li Yingjie had ordered them to attack the enemy, Gao Jinyun had known what their fate would be. The difference in mecha, in addition to the fact that the opponent was at least a mecha operator of the same level, meant that they actually had no hope of winning... but even so, all the team members, including Gao Jinyun, had decisively raised their beam sabers and charged towards the opponent.
Everyone knew that at this critical moment, only by going all out would they be able to protect their headquarters!
As soon as Gao Jinyun came into contact with his opponent, he knew he was in trouble. Although the other was operating an advanced mecha, his own strength was undoubtedly already at the peak of advanced mecha warriors, just half a step away from becoming a special-class operator. Against a mecha operator of this level, even if he was piloting the latest and best advanced mecha, he still might not be a match for him, not to mention that he was piloting a transport mecha with very simple weapons and equipment.
Just as he thought, after a dozen moves, he was completely suppressed and was in a precarious situation. Gao Jinyun felt that he could be hit by his opponent and crash in the next second.
"Ah!" A familiar cry of surprise rang out in the team comms channel. Gao Jinyun knew who it was — it was the other team leader of the Lingtian Mecha Clan's mecha battle team, Wu Fei. These past few days, they had operated together almost day and night and were already very familiar with each other. Wu Fei, whose mecha operation level was not much higher than his, finally could not hold on any longer and was successfully shot down by his opponent.
This made Gao Jinyun grieve. He could not help but think to himself, "Could it be that I will also end up like this, defeated and eliminated by my opponent?"
Right then, Ling Lan's cold gaze appeared in Gao Jinyun's mind. Within that icy gaze, there was a trace of regret and disappointment...
Gao Jinyun recalled how excited he had been when he had found out that he had been chosen by Boss Lan. When his team members had found out about this, they had specially organized a farewell party for him. At that time, he had told his team members that he would definitely repay Boss Lan's favour.
Was this how he repaid Boss Lan? How stupid! Gao Jinyun's eyes glared angrily, hating his own weakness. He definitely could not be defeated like this. Even if he was defeated, he would drag his opponent down with him! Otherwise, how could he face Boss Lan who had trusted him and was willing to give him a chance? A gentleman would die for his bosom friends — he could not lose face for Boss Lan!
"Hells, even if I lose, I still have to drag the opponent down with me. Self-Destruct!" Gao Jinyun roared angrily. His hand pulled up the mecha's engine, and at the fastest speed he could muster, he operated his mecha to ram fiercely into the opponent.
Although transport mecha could not compare to real combat mecha in any aspect, there was one aspect in which they were much stronger than combat mecha. That was, in order to increase the amount of supplies they could carry, these transport mecha had been modified into heavy tank mecha. In other words, the weight of the mecha itself was two to three times heavier than that of a combat mecha. Once the mecha moved up in speed and rammed into the opponent, the powerful force behind the collision would cause the combat mecha to retreat three feet, not daring to face it head-on.
Sure enough, Gao Jinyun's charging momentum caused the opponent to retreat. The opponent dodged to one side, preparing to attack after Gao Jinyun was exhausted.
Seeing this, Gao Jinyun's eyes lit up. He knew that this was his chance. In a spurt of energy, he attacked the opponent furiously. Gao Jinyun knew very well that once this momentum passed, he would no longer have another chance.
Opportunity was fleeting — a single choice could result in an earth-shattering change. Gao Jinyun's opponent suddenly found that after he had chosen to retreat, his initial advantage on his side had disappeared. Now, the one being suppressed was actually himself.
However, this mecha operator was an experienced person with a good mentality. He did not panic, instead calming himself down and putting all his strength into defence. Even though Gao Jinyun's attacks were wild, he still managed to withstand them, not giving Gao Jinyun any chance at all.
As expected, those who participated in the Mecha Grand Tournament were not simple! Gao Jinyun was inwardly impressed by the opponent's steady performance. He did not notice that his mecha control speed had broken through his original limit and entered the next level, allowing him to jump from intermediate advanced level to the peak of advanced level in an instant. If he could successfully stabilise himself, within a year, he would definitely have the chance to experience the barrier to special-class. If he was lucky, he might even be able to enter the ranks of special-class operators.
Right then, Gao Jinyun was fully immersed in the battle. He only had one thought in his mind, and that was to ram into the opponent. This was his only chance at victory.
"Bang!" A loud sound rang out as Gao Jinyun and his opponent finally collided.
The opponent's expression changed slightly at this collision. Although he had pushed his mecha's engine horsepower to the limit, he still found that his mecha was completely unable to withstand the opponent's full-powered impact. Finally, after several seconds of hard contact, his mecha unsurprisingly lost control and was sent flying backwards.
"Goddammit! What's going on? "The mecha operator who had lost control could not help but curse. With the opponent's speed, he should have been able to dodge, so why had he made a mistake and not been able to dodge just now?
This mecha operator had never expected that Gao Jinyun would improve in the midst of battle, his finger speed breaking through a small bottleneck. This had caused the other to misjudge — this was also why the other had been able to dodge earlier but had not been able to do so this time.
Seeing the opponent's mecha lose control and be sent flying, Gao Jinyun was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he raised his beam saber and fiercely stabbed forward. The beam saber hit the opponent's chest.
"Rip!" The beam saber and beam shield collided fiercely, sending up a string of sparks. The energy of both sides began to deplete rapidly. Whoever ran out of energy first would be the victor.
The two mecha drew a streak of light in the air. Just as the beam saber's energy was about to run out, Gao Jinyun felt despair. Suddenly, the force blocking his hand disappeared, and his beam saber easily pierced into the opponent's mecha. Before it had even gone in an inch, a force pushed his beam saber back. Gao Jinyun knew that this was a protective device installed by the mecha for this battle royale.
Sure enough, after being pushed back, Gao Jinyun saw his opponent's mecha fall straight to the ground from the sky. Gao Jinyun held that faintly discernible beam saber in his hand and was suddenly stunned.
Did this mean that he had won?
Fortunately, Gao Jinyun quickly came to his senses. He was still in the middle of a battle and could not afford to be distracted.
Gao Jinyun, who had calmed down, could not appreciate the taste of victory at all. He quickly changed the energy block in his beam saber while secretly thanking the logistics department.
It should be known that these energy blocks had been carefully selected by the logistics department from millions of energy blocks after spending some time. The energy in each block was infinitely close to the theoretical maximum. It was precisely because of this that he had been able to last until the end despite having a few more Kado than his opponent and obtain victory in his hands.
Details determined victory or defeat! Gao Jinyun suddenly remembered that when Boss Lan was preparing these resources, he had especially emphasized one point to the logistics department. Gao Jinyun was now full of confidence. With such a thoughtful Boss around, how could they lose here?
Gao Jinyun was undoubtedly lucky, being able to protect himself while taking care of his opponent. However, the other members were not so lucky. However, Gao Jinyun's angry roar in the team's comms channel had awakened these members who had been suppressed and had also ignited the unyielding spirit in their hearts. Since they were destined to be defeated and eliminated, then they could not lose without any value.
The members who knew that there was no hope all chose a suicidal attack in the end — self-destruct! (The self-destruct mechanism in the battle royale was simulated. Once the self-destruct button was pressed, the A.I. of the two fighting mechas would simulate the actual energy of the self-destruct according to the angle and distance and then make the final judgment. The tragedy of a real self-destruct would not occur.)
Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr When logisticians chose to self-destruct one after another, taking four or five mecha operators with them, the members of the other battle teams were moved. Even the logisticians were performing so valiantly. How could they, the real battle team members, lose to their teammates?
Thus, seeing that there were no more mecha to continue fighting, they all followed the pace of the transport team. One mecha after another fell from the sky. Every mecha operator (warrior) from the First Men's Military Academy who left the battlefield would leave with a share of the spoils of war.
On the ground, Chang Xinyuan was leading the nine modified mechas and watching the situation in the sky above Area G13.
He saw his familiar teammates fall one after another. Before they fell, they fiercely hugged their opponents and pressed the self-destruct button. His blood began to boil. He wished that he could also fight in the sky right now. Even if he wasn't their opponent, he wanted to be on the same side as his teammates. Even if he had to self-destruct, he wanted to bite off a piece of meat from the opponent … He remembered the scene when Boss Lan had led his team against Qiao Ting's battle team. His teammates had used this exact move to bring down an ace operator.
The number of people on both sides was decreasing, but the opponent's mecha operators were still almost twice as many as theirs. No matter how hard the members of the First Men's Military Academy tried, they were still unable to make up for this difference.
"Captain, the situation is getting worse for us." One of the team members anxiously reminded Chang Xinyuan. Right now, the First Men's Military Academy only had 12 to 13 mecha still fighting, while the opponent still had around 20 mecha. The opponent still had the absolute advantage in numbers.
"What do you think we should do? We've sent out everyone who can fight, except for our team. "Chang Xinyuan sighed.
Under Boss Lan's torment, Chang Xinyuan had successfully advanced to advanced mecha warrior at the start of the new year. However, at the scene, the last remaining mecha operators were all top-class special-class operators. Even if they went up to help, it would be useless. They still had to worry about whether they would be more of a hindrance and affect their teammates instead.
It looked like they would have to work harder to learn mecha piloting in the future!
Chang Xinyuan once again experienced the bitterness of being powerless. In reality, Chang Xinyuan's improvement was very fast. From the middle stage of intermediate mecha warrior, he had advanced to the middle stage of advanced mecha warrior in less than a year. Compared to other battle teams, his speed was definitely comparable to those outstanding mecha operators. It was just that the members of Ling Lan's battle team were all a bunch of freaks, which was why he had the misconception that he was not improving and was dragging the team down.
Thus, after this Mecha Grand Tournament ended, two masochists appeared in Ling Lan's battle team. One was Li Lanfeng, who was determined to become stronger, and the other was Chang Xinyuan, who believed that he would always be at the bottom of the pack.
However, the two's crazy masochists also caused the other members of the team to feel threatened, and thus led to a new round of training craze. Ling Lan's team improved collectively and rapidly amidst the chasing atmosphere of their teammates. This was also the reason why Ling Lan's team had always been ahead of the other battle teams. These are all stories for later, so we won't talk about them here for now.
Chang Xinyuan's rhetorical question made his team members speechless. Although they were very awesome in terms of modifications, in terms of piloting, they were completely incomparable to those mecha operators (warriors) in battle. Thus, they could only watch anxiously, unable to do anything.
"Are we supposed to just watch helplessly as our headquarters is taken down by these bastards?" One of the team members slapped his head in frustration. He had always thought that he only needed to focus on researching modifications, but now he was also regretting not spending time to properly practice mecha piloting. Otherwise, at this moment, they would be able to fight alongside their comrades on the field...
Today's battle had caused a new change in the mindset of these mecha modification masters who were obsessed with research. After returning home, they trained even harder in their piloting, causing these people to unexpectedly become battlefield modification masters. Also, because they had a deep understanding of the essence of battle, they had developed countless weapons and modified mecha with strong combat potential, allowing them to become famous modification masters in the future of the Alliance. Their works were wildly sought after by countless soldiers.
Chang Xinyuan looked silently at the sky above C13, and then abruptly pressed down on Han Jijun's comms button. "Advisor, G13, we have 12 mecha, the enemy has 18 mecha!"
Hearing this news, Han Jijun frowned. He was silent for a moment before replying, "I understand." Then he said, "You all should return to the headquarters." The mecha levels of Chang Xinyuan and the others were not high. If they went up, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths.
"Our modified battle team requests to go into battle!" Chang Xinyuan did not accept the order, instead making his own request.
"No, your mission is modification, not battle!" Han Jijun rejected without even thinking.
"When all of our combat team members are eliminated, what use is there for us modified mecha operators to stay?" Chang Xinyuan asked agitatedly. "Don't forget, although we are modified mecha operators, at the same time, we are also mecha warriors!"
On the other end of the comms channel, Han Jijun was silent. Several seconds later, Han Jijun's low voice came through. "Understood!"
"Leader, we can go into battle now?" asked one of the modified team members in surprise.
Chang Xinyuan laughed. "That's right! Advisor, you're allowing us to 'send ourselves to our deaths'. " Chang Xinyuan was speaking the truth. He was an advanced mecha warrior, and some of the team members under him were even weaker than him. One of them was even only an intermediate mecha warrior, and was also the one with the lowest mecha level from the First Men's Military Academy participating in the Grand Mecha Tournament this time.
"Haha, there are no cowards in our First Men's Military Academy!" said one of the team members excitedly.
"Although we are the weakest, it doesn't mean that we can only watch and do nothing, or send ourselves to our deaths." Chang Xinyuan passed a blueprint he had just finished to his team members. There were detailed data on it, as well as various angles and routes.
The others were all used to looking at blueprints, so when they saw this blueprint, their eyes instantly lit up. One of them could not help but say excitedly, "Leader, you're too amazing. You actually managed to calculate these things. Now, we might be able to succeed."
At this moment, Chang Xinyuan's eyes were bright. When he had been watching the battle in Area G13, he had not been watching for nothing. He would definitely teach these people who dared to attack their headquarters a lesson.
Area G17:
Lin Xiao and Jiang Shaoyu were locked in battle. Both of them knew that they were the most crucial point in this battle, so neither of them dared to relax. In addition, the two of them were evenly matched in strength, and they were also familiar with each other's fighting style. For the time being, neither of them could do anything to the other.
However, the people they had brought with them had already stopped fighting. It was not that they had suddenly become friendly, but rather that both sides had almost perished together. The mecha operators who were lucky enough to stay behind were all riddled with injuries. Unable to continue fighting, they could only watch each other and patiently wait for the two regiment commanders to decide a victor.
Han Jijun hung up the call with Chang Xinyuan, his heart heavy. Just now, he had no choice but to agree to Chang Xinyuan's request, but he also knew that Chang Xinyuan's team was going to "their deaths". Without any more battle teams to deploy, Han Jijun was like a housewife who could only cook without rice. No matter how much planning he had in mind, there was nothing he could do.
If only Boss was here! Han Jijun, who was about to be crushed by the pressure of defeat, could not help but think of Ling Lan at this moment.
