On the training ground, the 5,000 students lined up in five rows. The whole place was silent. The students stared at the mechs intently. Their attention was glued to the 100 mechs in front of them.
Mechs, these were real mechs!
The mech was 12 meters tall, painted in a mix of dark blue and ivory white. The leg armor was black, and the left arm was equipped with an ion shield activator. Once activated, the ion shield would form an ion shield that could completely cover the mech. The mech had four foldable wings on its back, which allowed it to fly nimbly in the atmosphere.
The mech's massive body was not bloated at all. Its slender body and compact structure made it look like it was imbued with immense strength. The mech held a laser gun with alternating blue and white stripes. The gun was simple and unadorned, just like Ye Chong's style.
If Mu Shang were here, he would definitely recognize the mech's original form.
The Harmony of the Winter Aria. This was a mech that Ye Chong once owned in the Five Galaxies. Of course, the mech's design followed the Harmony of the Winter Aria's style. In Ye Chong's eyes, the Harmony of the Winter Aria was an excellent mech. It had many excellent designs. For example, the foldable wings, the Hummingbird, and the self-locking double-edged spinning dart. Ye Chong used these as references many times in the future. As a close range mech, the Harmony of the Winter Aria's main body looked thin, but as a long range mech, it was very suitable. Ye Chong still used the name.
The most troublesome and expensive part of the mech was the laser gun. The laser gun was called G-ZS. It was an improved version of G-Z, and was much more powerful than G-Z. This light spear wasn't made of alloy, but was instead made of a high-grade wood unique to this place, the Sea Cyathea Wood. Hence, the entire gun was covered in the unique blue and white patterns of the Sea Woodfern wood. It looked mysterious and expensive.
Another use of high-quality wood was the engine. Ye Chong had spent a lot on this project. Wherever wood was needed, he used the best wood he had. As a result, the mechs were able to perform exceptionally well.
Ye Chong did not equip the mech with anything else. Other than the laser gun and the plasma shield, it was not equipped with any other weapons. It was not that Ye Chong did not want to assign them, but that the students were too weak. The greater the variety of weapons, the higher the requirements for mech pilots. It was better to specialize in one area than to be a master of all sorts of things. Hence, Ye Chong equipped them with a laser gun, a powerful laser gun.
Ye Chong's requirement was simple. They had to learn all the shooting methods: sniping, rapid fire, suppressing fire, etc. In order to fully utilize the mech's mobility, all basic maneuvers must be up to standard. Ye Chong's standards were much higher than those of the Five Galaxies. He needed to learn all the advanced tactical moves, and he needed to learn tactical coordination …
A hundred Harmony of the Frost Aria were lined up neatly like soldiers being inspected. The bright lights of the training ground revealed the beauty of the mechs to the students.
Their breathing was heavy, and their eyes were passionate. Even people like Duan Qianshu and Shu Mo 'er, who had strong self-control, could not hide their love for the mechs.
Seeing them, Ye Chong suddenly remembered when he was piloting Winnie, and how he longed for a slightly better mech. Back then, he was just like them.
Now, he could no longer find the joy he once had. He had seen more and more things, piloted more and more mechs, and fought more and more battles. Now, he was no longer surprised by anything.
Thinking back to his years of wandering and fighting, he felt that he was getting further and further away from his dream life. Ye Chong could not help but feel a little bitter.
However, he quickly composed himself. He looked at the pairs of eager eyes below him, and smiled to himself.
"Your results are out. According to the announcement, the top 100 candidates will receive their mechs first. The list of mechs is as follows. "
The entire place was silent. All the students held their breaths, not daring to breathe.
The first place went to Appilok. This talented student had overtaken Duan Qianshu, Mo 'er, and the rest, becoming the first to receive a mech. Duan Qianshu and Mo 'er received their mechs one after another.
The students who did not receive their mechs looked at the top 100 candidates with envy.
These 100 mechs had sparked another round of learning frenzy in the stronghold. Everyone was studying hard. It would be cool to be able to pilot a mech like this. The young people were always simple-minded, and full of drive. If Ye Chong had said that everyone would get a mech, the students would not have worked so hard. Unknowingly, Ye Chong had learned many things that he would never have thought of before.
With the mechs, the students would be able to improve very quickly. However, this was also a vulnerable and dangerous time for Ye Chong. If a large group of wild beasts appeared now, he would have to rely on the stronghold to defend himself. If the stronghold could not hold them off, then it would be impossible to rely on the students.
Ye Chong had considered venturing deep into Darkniss alone. However, he rejected the idea in the end. It was too risky. He was most wary of the red-tailed beasts. The red-tailed beasts he encountered always appeared in groups, rarely alone. If that was the case, he would not be able to succeed alone. Left with no choice, he settled down and trained his 5,000 students. Then, he would advance step by step. Although it would take longer, the success rate would be higher. Ye Chong did not want to die before he met Mu and Shang.
Mech production would not stop, but he had to think about how to train his students to combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
They learned basic training very quickly. The Shu sisters, for example, were shooters, and were familiar with shooting. The other students were not as good as them, but they were familiar with shooting. Ever since they got their mechs, they improved even faster. What's more, they were in such high-intensity, targeted training.
Seeing this, Ye Chong divided the 100 people into 10 teams, and took turns to kill the enemies. Of course, when they fought, they would switch to the laser guns used for training.
This kind of training method that was similar to a game was greatly welcomed by this group of students, and they had a great time playing it.
In order to motivate them, Ye Chong came up with many ideas. He set up a strict grading system, where the students would be graded according to their abilities and performance. Then, he set up a strict hierarchy based on their grades, and decided the benefits and rewards for the students.
With the continuous improvement of the various systems, everything in the fortress began to become orderly.
Mechs were produced in batches, and distributed according to the students' scores. A month later, all the students had their own mechs. Appilok was the one with the highest score in the stronghold. The team he led had already gone 121 rounds undefeated. This record was far ahead of everyone else. As the leader of his team, he earned more points than the average student. Although Shu Mo'er and Duan Qian's training scores were higher than Appilok's, their total scores were much lower.
Appilok was an excellent leader.
There were many people like Appilok. They were not good at fighting individually, but they were calm during battles. They had good command of battle rhythm and tactics, and could always lead their teams to victory. Ye Chong arranged for these people to be the leaders of their teams, while those who were good at fighting individually were assigned to the assault team.
This kind of training was not a substitute for actual combat. Ye Chong knew that.
So far, Ye Chong had a total of 314 students in the assault team. They were excellent in all aspects of training, and performed well even in combat.
Ye Chong decided to bring them for a period of actual combat training.
Only in actual combat could they truly grow.
When they went out this time, they could truly be fully armed. While Ye Chong was away, Sha Ya and Xi Yan took over the management of the stronghold. Ye Chong had told them everything that needed to be done.
Ye Chong piloted Celest. Behind him, 314 Harmony of the Winter Aria took to the skies, forming a mech battle formation in the sky.
On the ground, the Furious Flame River, which used to roar, now looked like a thin red line. They operated the scanning system curiously, observing their surroundings. They were curious. Ye Chong usually did not allow them to leave the stronghold.
This was Darkniss! But why did it not look like it? Wasn't Darkniss rumored to be dangerous? In the darkness, Darkniss was like a sleeping baby, quiet and peaceful.
They did not notice that their distraction had created a small gap in their formation. Ye Chong, who had been on high alert, noticed it immediately.
"Stay focused, it's dangerous here."
Ye Chong and the others were flying in the direction that Albinia and Roschart had come from. The two of them were almost dead from the physical training. They were all shooters. If they had to train their bodies from scratch, wouldn't that be suicidal?
Ye Chong did not bring them along. It would be great if they could find the Gateway to Western Frost, but it would not matter if they did not.
They flew for about half an hour, and did not encounter any unexpected situations.
However, Ye Chong dared not let his guard down. The land below him was a strange place that he had never been to before. (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log on to WWW .QIDIAN. com. Support the author! Support the original!)
