Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr On the screen, the four-man team of dark red mecha instantly got into position to counterattack. However, they did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, one of the mecha took the initiative to communicate with the other two teams. Unfortunately, she could not hear what was being said. This made Ling Lan feel an urge to immediately head to the learning space to exchange for a spiritual power cultivation technique so that she could increase her spiritual power and allow Little Four to eavesdrop on her communications.
Right then, the three teams of mecha that had been silently facing each other suddenly raised their weapons in unison and pointed them in a certain direction. It turned out that the two mecha that had been dodging Little Four's laser cannons had inadvertently entered the defensive perimeter of the other mecha.
The A.I. of mecha B, who had been fleeing, suddenly issued an urgent warning, "Warning, enemy detected. Warning, enemy detected."
Only then did mecha B notice that countless red dots had appeared on the surveillance radar. He clicked to zoom in, and the screen showed 15 mecha belonging to the three factions. At this time, they had already raised their weapons and were aiming at them. They were just short of locking on.
"Holy sh * t, why are there so many mecha here? Didn't we say to make sure there was no one here? " Mecha B's heart was cold, and his back was drenched in cold sweat... could it be that this so-called mission was a trap?
Mecha A had also noticed these mecha, and his face paled instantly. He seemed to be thinking the same thing, "Boss, let's run."
Mecha B gritted his teeth. He glanced at the many mecha in front of him on the screen, and then at the two homing missiles following closely behind them. With his rich experience, he instantly made a decision and said, "Follow me closely. We'll charge over like this." Right now, they were in a pincer-attack situation, and there was no room for them to retreat. They could only charge forward. Perhaps they would have a chance at survival.
The two mecha did not stop, instead increasing their speed to charge towards the other mecha. Of course, while moving, mecha B did not forget to turn on the public communication signal, "Third Army, 7th Division, 377 Mecha Clan, please help us take care of the homing missiles behind us..."
Mecha B knew this lie would be easily exposed. His goal was not to hide from them anyway — he just needed to make them hesitate for a moment. As long as they did not open fire, they would be able to leave their surveillance perimeter in one minute and escape safely. If they were lucky, they would even be able to take care of the two sticky candies behind them.
Sure enough, the other side had heard the words transmitted through the public comms channel. One of the teams lowered the beam guns in their hands, while the other raised their weapons and aimed them behind them. Only the four dark red mecha continued to point their guns at them, unwavering.
Meanwhile, on Ling Lan's side, as she had no way of eavesdropping on the opponent's communication signal, she could only watch in confusion as the two mecha rushed towards the 15 mecha like moths to a flame. She saw the six mecha representing the military open fire first, but not to kill the two mecha, but to shoot down the two laser cannons that were chasing after them.
Ling Lan frowned and her expression became serious. Was this assassination attempt against her the work of the military? Was it because her absorption of the gene stimulating elixir was too excessive that it attracted the attention of some of the higher-ups in the military?
No! Ling Lan immediately rejected this possibility. These past few years, although Ling Lan had been banned from the virtual world due to her underage age, she was still aware of the information in the virtual world. Little Four had explained to her in detail that the era she lived in now was a world where everyone was a soldier. Everyone was prepared to become a qualified soldier from the moment they were born, and all soldiers had mecha operators as their primary goal...
The requirements for a beginner mecha operator were still considered normal, but the requirements for an advanced mecha operator were too high, especially the physical requirements, which could be considered demonic. Thus, the Federation placed special emphasis on children who had the potential to become advanced mecha operators. The various factions in the military monitored each other — they would definitely not target her for this reason.
Since this possibility had been eliminated, then who had a small child like her offended? The Ling family that had been chased out of Doha? They did not have the guts. If they were found to be behind this, the military would definitely make the entire Ling family disappear from the Federation. The Ling family could not afford to take the risk.
Ling Lan eliminated herself and her family, and suddenly thought of the honourable military exploits she had inherited. Before her father Ling Xiao had died, he had been the youngest major general in the Federation. Could this have something to do with her father's side?
Ling Lan felt that this was very likely. Perhaps her father had inadvertently offended someone while he was in the military...
Only then did Ling Lan realise that she actually did not know much about her father Ling Xiao. She regretted it a little — in these past few years, why had she not thought of asking Chamberlain Ling Qin and the others about her father?
Of course, Ling Lan knew that her father was the Federation's... oh, no, the universe's most handsome, most promising, most outstanding, most powerful, and most gentle man without a single flaw. (The above description that made Ling Lan a little uneasy came from her mother Lan Luofeng's mouth. Ling Lan firmly believed that women who fell in love were blind. Of course, she could only keep this thought in her mind, not daring to say it aloud. Otherwise, her mother would definitely drag her over to give her a good spanking.)
The pitiful Ling Lan now only knew that her father was the youngest major general in the Federation, and that he had died in the chaotic death tunnels during the war with the Ferond Empire. Meanwhile, Ling Xiao actually did not know anything else about him... uh, well, that was not it. At the very least, she still had those embarrassing descriptions her mother Lan Luofeng had forced on her.
Ling Lan decided that this time, when she returned home safely, she would definitely find out more about her father and find some clues. She did not want to be on the lookout for hidden assassins every day. She liked to have everything in her hands — only then could she avoid any danger.
Although Ling Lan had thought of many things in her mind, it had all happened in an instant. When the two mecha had just gotten close to the other 15 mecha, the four unwavering dark red mecha on one side had actually done something that shocked all the mecha operators present.
Those four mecha waited for the two mecha to get close to them, and then decisively pulled the triggers in their hands. Countless high-temperature beams from their beam guns poured out mercilessly. The four mecha split into two groups, and each of the beams struck the cockpits of the two mecha.
The cockpits could not withstand the high temperature of the beams and finally exploded. The two mecha exploded in mid-air, turning into fragments that fell to the ground.
Right then, the military team finally came to their senses. They excitedly raised the weapons in their hands and aimed them at the four dark red mecha. The situation was tense — it looked like a battle was about to break out at any moment.
The Ling family's mecha team was very smart — they knew that this was not something they could get involved in. While the two teams were facing off against each other, they quietly left. Right now, the most important thing for them was to find their Young Master Lan. Anything else was of no concern to them.
They found a direction and sped up towards Ling Lan. Judging by their speed, they would probably arrive in less than a minute.
Little Four glanced enviously at the four dark red mecha with super powerful firepower, and then glanced disdainfully at the hover car equipped with laser cannons under his control. He had completely forgotten how excited he had been when he had first obtained the hover car, and how excited he had been when he had discovered the laser cannons... as expected, comparisons could not be made. Once one knew the pros and cons of something, one would begin to despise and despise it. Artificial intelligences were no exception to this bad habit.
Sure enough, 35 seconds later, two beams of light shot towards Ling Qin at almost the same time, striking the last two people fighting with Ling Qin, including the team leader. The two of them were killed on the spot.
Ling Qin exhaled deeply, and slowly retracted his attacking stance to stand up straight. He looked up into the sky with a smile. Five mecha had already appeared before his eyes — the Ling family loyalists protecting Ling Lan had finally arrived. His heart was finally at ease.
Now relaxed, Ling Qin felt his entire body ache. He knew that this was the aftereffects of overexerting his potential, but it did not matter. The Ling family had medicinal baths to heal such injuries. With a few more days of good rest, he would be able to recover. Of course, for Ling Qin, as long as Ling Lan was safe, even if his body was destroyed, he would not regret it.
The five mecha slowly descended before Ling Qin, and finally landed firmly on the ground. At this time, other than the three mecha on guard duty, the cockpits of the other two mecha had been opened, and the mecha operators inside stood on a lift chain and slowly descended. They were dressed in blue and white standard mecha uniforms, the Ling family's fire phoenix logo on their chests looking vivid under the refraction of the sun, as if it were about to spread its wings and fly.
After landing, the two of them immediately walked over to Ling Qin's side and took off their helmets. The leader of the two said guiltily, "Elder Qin, sorry, we came too late." He was a burly man with a strong physique and a chiseled face. His expression was honest and sincere, and he was about 34 or 35 years old, very mature and reliable.
Ling Qin was extremely dissatisfied with the Ling family's mecha team for coming too late. Mind you, all this time, if they had not been lucky that the opponent's hover cars had not fired their laser cannons, and even when they had fired, they had fired randomly as if they could not control the direction of the shots, or else he would have died a thousand times over. If he had died, would a six-year-old child like Ling Lan still have any chance of escaping?
He said angrily, "Ling Hua, what the hell is going on? Why didn't they follow us? " It should be known that the Ling family's mecha team had to follow Ling Lan closely, and not let Ling Lan leave the mecha's monitoring range. The Ling family had specific requirements for the loyalists protecting their master — if there was any danger, they had to arrive within 10 seconds, unless it was in places where martial arts were prohibited, such as the Scout Academy. But this time, the Ling family's mecha team had actually been late by a full 5 minutes — this was something Ling Qin could not forgive.
Ling Hua did not explain, only saying with an ashamed expression, "Sorry, Elder Qin, it's our fault."
At this time, the young man following Ling Hua spoke up. He explained, "Elder Qin, we accidentally fell for the other party's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain. By the time we reacted and rushed over, we found that we had already lost your and Young Master Lan's signal."
"Ling Yu!" Ling Hua shouted angrily, as if unwilling to let Ling Yu explain. Perhaps he thought that if he was wrong, then he was wrong, and there was nothing to explain.
