Lear still walked out with a face full of sarcasm. However, his body was not as relaxed as it looked. Engulfing was not the same as absorbing. After all, external forces were external forces. Especially this damned Atlantean idiot's mysterious energy was indeed ferocious enough. While engulfing mysterious energy, he still had to make an extreme attack. Lear could be considered to have done it in one go. Of course, that last strike was intentional. Although this strike was not aimed at the pilot, his Ability X was aimed at the opponent. His method was the same as Bordia, to destroy the opponent's life force!
The twelve members of the Atlantis team were all at the level of conquering star beasts. This meant that the other members would not be too far off from Millsap. Even if their spiritual power did not have this amount, they definitely had the same level of strength.
No one would have dreamt that the Solar System Federation team, who had thought that they would be crushed, would actually be in the lead by two to one.
Was this a heaven-defying rhythm?
Could it really be possible?
Everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Zheng. What would he choose?
Wang Zheng did not hesitate. He turned to the referee. "The Solar System Federation team requests a team battle!"
This was the Solar System Federation team's only chance to accomplish this in one go.
It had to be said that Lear was quite ruthless, because Bordia was actually unable to let Millsap recover. Millsap's injury was not physical, but mental. This meant that this Lear's Ability X not only engulfed life force but also spiritual power. This kind of black hole, even Bordia did not dare to touch it lightly.
Without Millsap, the Atlantean team battle was still slightly affected.
At this time, the Milky Way Alliance's Lieutenant General Markelov walked out. This battle was too exciting and unexpected. The referee saluted and retreated respectfully.
"The third round will be a team battle. It will also be the first team battle in the semi-finals. This type of competition will continue into the finals. Everyone, look at the big screen."
Markelov pointed, and the big screen immediately showed a bird's eye view. "This is the location of the team battle. The Solar System Federation team and the Atlantean team will each guard an energy tower. Each energy tower will be equipped with two high-energy laser cannons. The straight-line distance between the energy towers is 3000 meters. The condition to win is to destroy the energy tower guarding the area."
After the bird's eye view, it was time for a detailed scan. The laser cannon was the standard model. It would automatically attack any unrecognized mech within a 50-meter radius. Its power was rather astonishing. Even a high-end mech's energy shield could only withstand three hits at most.
The entire terrain was not too special, but the forest provided shelter. The range was lengthened, which meant that both sides could fight head-on or make tactical arrangements.
For the Atlantean side, it was naturally best to directly entangle the opponent and annihilate them. They had sufficient strength.
Bordia, who was in full condition, together with Azhas, who had recovered 80% of his strength, and another three Atlantean elites, they still had an absolute advantage against the Solar System team.
The Solar System team was led by Wang Zheng. Currently, they could not see Wang Zheng's situation, but it was likely that he had expended some energy in the battle with Azhas. Lear was silent. Ever since he returned, he had been sitting there. Given his personality, he was probably recovering. If not, he would definitely mock his opponent. But Lear had to go.
Achilles could not go up. He had thought that with Achilles' Ability X, even if he lost, he could escape unscathed. In the end, it was still Bordia who injured him.
Both sides had losses, but the Solar System's losses were greater. Lie Xin replaced Achilles' position, but Lie Xin's injuries were not completely healed. She felt that she could only use 70 to 80 percent of her strength. Besides, her Lie Flame Technique had just broken through. The moment she broke through, she would definitely be at full strength. But after the breakthrough, there would be a certain reduction in strength. Another thing was that Lie Xin's style was not very suitable to fight with the Atlantean team. The mobility of the Atlantean mecha was too good. If one's speed could not keep up, it would be very dangerous in a team battle.
Everyone present was in an uproar. Was this going to decide the winner?
If the Solar System could win this team battle, they would win the competition and enter the finals for the first time in history. On the contrary, if they lost, all their efforts would be wasted. The Atlantean team would definitely win. If the Solar System Federation had not been at their limits, they would not have called for a team battle.
But this team battle was still not easy to fight.
The Atlantean team had already chosen their team members.
Bordia, Azhas, Dotrenk, Emma, Cang Yan.
The mecha did not hesitate either. The Atlanteans mostly trained their own mecha to achieve the perfect harmony between their spirit and mecha. This way, the power that they could unleash would be incomparable. Hence, they rarely considered targeted choices. Instead, they used what they were good at, so that the opponent could only follow their rhythm.
Bordia, the Phantom King.
Azhas, the Phantom King.
Dotrenk, Earth Guard.
Emma, Wind Spirit Guard.
Cang Yan, Flame Guard.
Earth Guard, Wind Spirit Guard, Flame Guard. These were the famous series of Atlantean mecha. They were one level lower than the King series mecha. Unlike the King series mecha, which had tyrannical attacks, the defense type mecha focused on balance. Of course, the difficulty of operating it was also lower than the King series mecha. After all, even in Atlantis, not everyone could be a super warrior.
But in terms of performance on the battlefield, the defense type mecha were not inferior to the King series. Compared to unlimited power, this type of mecha was more practical, and it was easier to win.
Hence, the scary thing about Atlantis was that even if they did not have an extreme leader, they still had a high-quality team. When they were stable, it would also make people feel hopeless.
When Bordia chose such a lineup, it also meant that they were not blindly seeking success, but did not intend to give the opponent even the slightest chance.
In fact, at this stage, there was no way to talk about targeting. The other countries were still alright, but Atlantis' tactics were not within the Milky Way Alliance's conventional tactics. There was no way to restrain them. They could only use their own strength to the extreme.
On Wang Zheng's side, he had also chosen his team members to participate in the team battle. This was the ultimate challenge. Even facing Arbiter would not be as difficult as this.
Wang Zheng, Lear, Lie Xin, Luo Fei, Zhang Shan.
Even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice. As long as Lie Xin could go up, she still had to. Otherwise, she would not be able to withstand a round of attacks. Luo Fei, this fatty, had to be used. This guy's wretched style would create trouble for the opponent. The last choice really gave Wang Zheng a headache. In the end, he still chose Zhang Shan. It was not because Zhang Shan was strong enough. In fact, based on strength alone, it was not his turn. However, Zhang Shan's battle IQ, especially his ability to adapt to the situation, was incomparable to others.
Using Zhang Shan was a double-edged sword. Success depended on Zhang Shan, and failure depended on Zhang Shan. But to Wang Zheng, he really did not have much choice.
Lear still did not speak. Wang Zheng's hand was placed on Lear's shoulder. Lear's first reaction was to stare at him as sharp as a knife. But immediately after, he felt a wave of warmth flowing into his body. The Heavenly Refinement Technique that was originally a little churning actually calmed down slowly.
After a few minutes, Lear pushed Wang Zheng's hand away and stood up. He signaled with his eyes, and both of them went to one side.
The Atlanteans did not care about tactics because they had the ability to do so. If the Solar System System did not have any tactics, then this team battle would be meaningless.
Pre-battle preparations were useless. According to the actual lineup and situation, one had to make targeted arrangements. Seeing the opponent's choice, Lear had a headache. His ambition and his desire had already risen. In order to win, he could sacrifice everything. Temporarily cooperating with people he hated was nothing at all.
"Wang Zheng, what mech are you going to use?" Lear went straight to the point. According to Wang Zheng's choice, he could arrange his own role.
"Phantom King," Wang Zheng said. His trump card was finally going to be measured. This was also their only chance.
Lear was stunned for a while, but did not say any nonsense. "Okay, then I will cover for you!"
Even if you used your butt to think, you would know that there was no advantage in a head-on battle. Before the battle, they had already discussed it. The most terrifying team battle that Atlantis possessed was not the so-called tacit understanding, but the combination of runes. It was just that they had not heard of it, but just hearing about it made them feel despair.
Therefore, the Solar System team had to sacrifice four people, and then let the fastest one sneak attack the opponent's energy tower.
Of course, the opponent could also consider this tactic. Therefore, this was not a conspiracy, but an open one. It all depended on whether it could be controlled at that time.
The one who could carry out this mission was either Wang Zheng or Lear. Even if Wang Zheng used the Wind God, it would not be as fast as his Unbounded Sky Chains. But compared to the Phantom King, it might not have much of an advantage, but at least it was better than the Wind God. But Wang Zheng chose the Phantom King, and Lear had nothing else to say.
Lear had never been interested in playing the hero. This was the best choice in front of him.
He did not even need to ask Wang Zheng if he could use it, and to what extent. Even Wang Zheng thought that Lear would have some doubts, but Lear did not have any.
"When the time comes, look at the signal. You have to hold them back for at least five seconds before I can ambush," Wang Zheng said.
Lear pondered for a while, and took a deep breath. "Okay, but Wang Zheng, remember, if you fail, we will settle our old scores and new scores together!"
Wang Zheng smiled slightly. Since when did he have old scores with him? But he did not bother. Everyone on Earth knew Lear's character.
The ambush could not be carried out at the start, or the opponent would also send people to deal with it. They could only find a sliver of opportunity in the middle of the battlefield.
Wang Zheng and Lear walked back. Everyone looked at them. They could see that Lie Xin was a little nervous, and Luo Fei had a cowardly look on his face. He really did not want to bear such a heavy responsibility. Even if the sky fell, there would be someone else to hold it up. Why look for a fatty like him?
Zhang Shan, on the other hand, had a face of excitement. He simply did not know when to be a coward. He was a naturally confident person.
Wang Zheng smiled. "We have already come this far. The barefooted are not afraid of the barefooted. Let's give it our all. No matter what the result is, we have won."
The Solar System team achieving such a result was already unprecedented, and so far, they were still in the lead. They had not been beaten in the face. No matter what, there was no need to be disappointed. At this time, there was nothing to worry about.
