Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When Leiting received the news that a Leiting member had been defeated, they didn't panic. They knew that Ling Lan was the strongest in Lingtian. It was normal for one or two of their own members to be defeated. Before they had even entered the map, they had already been prepared for this.
Right at this moment, a Leiting mecha flew past a rocky mountain at high speed, heading in the direction of Lingtian 1. He didn't know that a mecha was lying on top of the rocky mountain.
"Who is so bold to actually dare to step over Grandpa's head?" Zilong glared hatefully at the mecha flying in front of him. He quickly operated the beam gun on his mecha's right arm and locked onto the other. Of course, he didn't forget to check the other's information.
"Beep beep. Obtaining information. Identifier: Leiting No.1!" The mecha's A.I. responsibly gave him the information it had found.
"Leiting No.1?" Zilong's spirits were instantly lifted. He didn't think that after lying around for so long, he would finally get a big fish.
"Zilong, let him pass." Right at that moment, Ling Lan's cold voice came through the team comms channel.
"Huh? Uh … got it. "Zilong was just about to make a move when he heard Ling Lan's words and was instantly dumbfounded. However, even if Zilong didn't understand Ling Lan's orders, he would still follow them. He gave up on locking onto the mecha and watched as Leiting No.1 left his line of sight.
"Boss, I really want to fight Leiting No.1." Zilong said regretfully. After all, Leiting No.1 was the strongest mecha in Leiting. Before the battle, he actually really wanted to fight the other. Unfortunately, Boss had other plans and didn't give him the chance.
"Fighting him won't be of much use to you, but Xie Yi will," Ling Lan explained.
Zilong's eyes flashed with understanding. "Boss, you mean to use this opportunity to let Leiting No.1 help us detonate the dark energy Xie Yi is suppressing."
Ling Lan was very interested to know what would happen to Xie Yi after she was controlled by the dark energy. "Yes, because of her opponent, Xie Yi will not be very vigilant. Once her desire to become stronger or to win becomes too strong, that will be the opportunity for the dark energy."
Not everyone was as lucky as Leiting No.1 and was purposely let off by their opponents. Ling Lan's target had always been Leiting No.1. As for the others, Ling Lan did not interfere with their actions. And so, in different corners, the same thing was happening.
When a few Leiting mechas passed by the Lingtian mechas that were equipped with the chameleon system and were hiding in ambush, they all bared their fangs and attacked these unprepared opponents!
Bang! In the silent forest, the sound of the explosion caused by the beam hitting the mech rang out, and the surroundings were immediately alerted. One of the mecha's cockpit was directly hit and was eliminated without saying a word.
Unfortunately, the world map was too big. The commotion that happened here was not known by the other teams. Everyone could only see that their teammate had lost another member from the corner of their mecha's screen. They didn't know how he was defeated. And so, the second Leiting member followed in his teammate's footsteps and was eliminated without any warning.
However, not every Lingtian mecha was so lucky, and not every Leiting mecha was so unlucky. When the third Leiting mecha passed by Lingtian's ambush and was attacked, his instincts told him that he was in danger. He actually managed to avoid being hit in his vitals. That shot only hit his thigh, and he was lucky enough to escape death.
"What a pity!" Luo Lang, who missed his shot, pouted gloomily. However, he didn't move and patiently waited for the next opportunity.
"Enemy! Where are they? " The Leiting member who escaped death was sweating profusely. He turned his mecha's radar to the maximum, but there was no reaction at all on the radar. It was as if that shot was just an illusion.
It was very quiet all around, but this silence made the Leiting member feel an incomparable sense of danger. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then, he decisively connected to his captain's communication channel. "Captain, I was attacked by Lingtian just now, but damn it, my radar can't find any traces of the attacker at all."
Hearing this, Tian Jiajun's expression changed. The first thing he thought of was the chameleon system. Although this system was considered a high-end equipment in Mecha World and was hard to get, it didn't mean that it couldn't be obtained. He believed that Lingtian already had this system. He just didn't know how many mechas were equipped with this system.
"I hope that only one or two mechas from Lingtian have this crazy system. If not, we'll be in a bad situation." Tian Jiajun's expression turned serious.
"Activate the backup thermal radar. Once the opponent uses beam energy, the radar will be able to find them." Tian Jiajun immediately gave the order. Although they didn't have the Eagle Eye system, special-class mechas could only be equipped with a low-level chameleon system. The thermal radar would still be able to find some traces. However, this opportunity would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Also, be careful of being ambushed by the opponent's cold weapons." The thermal radar could only detect the energy from beam guns. If the opponent used cold weapons to ambush them, it would be useless.
Under Tian Jiajun's reminder, the Leiting members began to be wary of Lingtian's ambushes. As expected, when they were ambushed by Lingtian's beam, they found the location of the source of the heat from the thermal radar. Those with quick reflexes dodged the beam attacks while also rushing towards the location indicated by the thermal radar.
Of course, these Leiting members were lucky. The Lingtian members who ambushed them didn't just use beam guns, they also used cold weapons. Ambushes with cold weapons were hard to defend against. Under this ambush, Leiting lost another member. The situation instantly took a turn for the worse for Leiting. Leiting went from 12 people to 8 people in an instant. They had lost almost half of their manpower.
Of course, Ling Lan didn't pay much attention to the ambush between the Lingtian members and Leiting members. To be honest, Ling Lan didn't put in as much effort as she did a year ago in this challenge match. Leiting didn't have a powerful ace operator like Qiao Ting. Ling Lan believed that her team members wouldn't lose to their opponents. Ling Lan knew very well that the long-term development of a mecha clan didn't depend on how strong the regiment commander was. It depended on whether there was a reliable core strength within the mecha clan.
Thus, if Lingtian wanted to develop well, the members of the mecha clan had to grow quickly and become a mecha clan that couldn't be easily defeated. Only then would Lingtian be able to develop for a long time.
On the world map, while Lingtian was hunting down Leiting, Leiting was also hunting down Lingtian's members. Of the three mechas that were exposed, Xie Yi was the only one who received orders to disguise himself as Ling Lan to attract the enemy's attention. The other two mechas couldn't complete the chameleon mission so they could only be exposed in front of the Leiting members. The Leiting members, who had already gathered together, mercilessly attacked them.
Although the chameleon system was very good at hiding, once it was exposed, it would be useless. After Lingtian's first assassination attempt was dodged by their opponents, they lost their initial advantage. If they wanted to defeat their opponents, they could only rely on their own strength.
Of course, there were winners and losers in this battle. Many Lingtian members were defeated by their opponents after an intense battle with Leiting. Thus, on the map, the flames of war were ignited and smoke filled the air. The number of members on both sides was slowly decreasing. The ones who would be able to survive until the end would definitely be the strongest of the two teams.
Tang Yu looked around and realized that Ling Lan wasn't among the Lingtian members who had appeared in front of everyone. He frowned. He suspected that Ling Lan didn't want to fight at all. Did he only join this battle as a last resort to ensure that Lingtian wouldn't lose?
Because of Ling Lan's arrangements, Tian Jiajun operated his mecha and successfully arrived at Xie Yi's location.
Xie Yi saw that Leiting No.1 had arrived and instantly became excited. Before the battle, Ling Lan had told him that his mission was to keep Leiting No.1 busy. Before his team members could completely clear out the other members of Leiting, he had to keep Leiting No.1 busy.
Tian Jiajun's goal was the same as Xie Yi's. The mission he received was to keep Lingtian No.1 busy. As for the rest, he would have to act according to the situation.
The two of them had the same goal. Thus, once they met, they didn't waste any time talking. They raised their weapons and started fighting. Both of them operated balanced mechas and were good at both long-range and short-range attacks. Thus, once they entered long-range attack range, the two of them raised their beam guns at the same time and attacked each other.
After all, Tian Jiajun had been stuck at special-class operator level for more than a year. He was only one step away from becoming an ace operator. His operating skills were naturally not at the level of Xie Yi who had just advanced. After probing a few moves, Xie Yi restrained his impulsive desire to defeat the other and began to carefully fight with the other.
At this moment, Xie Yi was behaving like a normal Xie Yi. Ling Lan kept staring at Xie Yi. Seeing that he was behaving normally, she knew that Tian Jiajun wasn't pressuring Xie Yi enough.
"Leiting No.1 doesn't seem to have a high desire to win." Ling Lan noticed that Tian Jiajun's fighting style was cautious and even somewhat restrained. Could it be that he didn't dare to act rashly because he thought that Lingtian No.1 was her?
She had to think of a way to force Leiting No.1 to fight with his back against the wall!
Ling Lan thought for a moment and then connected to Zilong's comms channel. "Zilong, pretend that you can't win and lure your opponent to XX. XX."
Zilong knew that his boss had some plan the moment he heard this. He didn't ask any questions and just replied with an "okay".
He secretly rejoiced that in order to avoid boredom, Zilong had wanted to fight with the opponent for a while longer. Thus, he had hidden a portion of his strength and fought evenly with the opponent. If he had gone all out from the start and suppressed the opponent, it would have been difficult for him to pretend that he couldn't win.
Zilong continued to fight with the opponent for a few more moves and then pretended to be exhausted. He pulled back his cold weapon and turned around to rush towards the coordinates that Ling Lan had told him.
Seeing that he was about to finish off his opponent, the Leiting member naturally wouldn't give up. He immediately operated his mecha to follow Zilong. Seeing this, Zilong finally relaxed. He fought with the opponent all the way until he finally reached the coordinates.
