Chapter 497: 497. Attack!

“You think Qiao Ting is the same as you?” Ling Lan glared coldly at him. Luo Lang instantly became sad, saying, “Wu wu wu, Boss thinks I am stupid.”

After Ling Lan saw that everyone had filled up their stomachs, she said, “Let’s continue!”

“Yes, Boss!” Everyone quickly responded. They were afraid that if their movements were too slow, they would be the next ones to be looked down upon by Boss after Luo Lang…

The seven of them continued to move very fast. Xie Yi accelerated his mecha, surreptitiously drew near Luo Lang and whispered, “Luo Lang, regarding the things you were worried about earlier, Boss and Qiao Ting definitely have a mutual understanding on this kind of stuff.”

Luo Lang felt petulant and thought to himself, “Everyone is doing their own thing and doesn’t communicate. I was only afraid that the other side would miss something and miss the good chance that we had created.”

After a while, Xie Yi thought to himself, “You should just focus on being the battle team’s vice-general!” As expected, this Luo Lang was only suitable for hard manual labor and not good in using his brain.

“You also think I’m stupid?” Luo Lang became angry and began to sharpen a sword in his mind to use on this punk. This shameless punk who had come into their team uninvited actually dared to look down on him?

“No!” Xie Yi answered crisply. In his mind, however, he felt a bit vain and so added, “I want to say that no matter who you compete with, you shouldn’t compete with Boss. You will feel that there is no hope in life… which is why, you should be the vice-general.”

Xie Yi words made Luo Lang become silent. Only a few seconds later, Luo Lang proudly snorted, then accelerated and flashed to the front, creating distance between him and Xie Yi. This action that made it seem as if he was strangers with Xie Yi confused him. Why had Luo Lang become angry again? He didn’t offend him right?

The small sparks flying over on this side were not noticed by the others who were moving forward at top speed. Everyone flew for another 10 or so minutes. When they had come close to Area M, Ling Lan stopped abruptly and waved her hand. Everyone immediately stopped flying and went to their respective positions. With Ling Lan as the center, they assumed a formation that was safe for both offensive and defensive battle.

Not long after, there was another commotion on the other side of the forest. Many mecha were darting through the forest skillfully, coming closer and closer towards Ling Lan’s position.

Everyone’s expression became serious. It seemed like they were coming for them.

The radar on a mecha could discover flying objects up to a three kilometer radius. Normally, it if wasn’t included in their mission goal, assault battle teams would find a way to avoid other battle teams when they saw them on the radar. If the opposition didn’t see them as an enemy, they would change their direction mutually after stopping briefly. Right now, however, the other party was coming straight towards them, which clearly meant they were going be trouble.

“Little Four, zoom and enhance!” At Ling Lan’s orders, the screen on the mecha instantly pulled up the image of the map within a 2 to 3 kilometer radius. A 24-man mecha battle team was approaching their position at alarming speeds.

Little Four was very thoughtful; he put up screenshots of the logos on the chest plate of those mecha on the two sides of the screen.

“The Federal Defence Military Academy and the Second Men’s Military Academy…” Ling Lan frowned slightly.

“Looks like they formed an alliance before the battle. It wasn’t just us and the First Co-ed Military Academy who formed one. The Second Men’s Military Academy has also found their ally military academy. We just don’t know who else they have allied with.” Ling Lan was surprised. As expected, those who could be the commanders of the top tier military academies were real pieces of work.

“Also, for them to have been able to enter Area S9 so quickly, it looks like the Second Men’s Military Academy split their army up right before entering the map area. As for the Federal Defence Military Academy, if I remember correctly, their headquarters is in Area M67, not too far from Area S. The people from the Second Men’s Military Academy probably rested at the headquarters of the Federal Defence Military Academy and moved out together.” Ling Lan thought in detail and predicted the opposition’s arrangements to a certain extent.

“And now, them brazenly coming towards us means that they’ve found out that we’re just a small battle team of seven. They could definitely take us out easily… Looks like those who come don’t have good intentions and those who don’t come have good intentions!” Ling Lan’s lip perked and showed a hint of a cold smile. She hadn’t expected that she would be viewed as a soft bone for others to chew on.

“Get ready for long-range attacks!” Ling Lan immediately ordered.

The formation that had Zhao Jun as the vanguard instantly changed. Zhao Jun sidestepped, changing from the vanguard to the left wing. Xie Yi and Li Lanfeng, who was in the back, immediately went forward and stood at the front of the team to become the two vanguards. Li Shiyu, who was in the middle-rear, darted to the right and became the right wing. And Qi Long and Luo Lang, who held the line, split to the two sides, becoming Zhao Jun and Li Shiyu’s secondary wing.

Ling Lan’s position didn’t change. She was the center point in the last formation and was still the center point now. It was just that this point was considered to be closer to the back, becoming the formation’s only person to hold the line. The whole formation was in the shape of a fan. Qi Long and the other five formed a semi-circle, all of them looking in the direction they were responsible for. Ling Lan was the center point of the this semi-circle.

They used this formation because the radar showed that the opposing formation was also the fan formation. They needed to use the same formation to defend against attacks from all possible directions.

“Haha, did we scare those seven small fry?” One of the mecha operators from the Second Men’s Military Academy said with uncontrollable excitement upon seeing their target halting at their position.

“Maybe they think we’re friendlies.” The mecha operators from the Federal Defence Military Academy didn’t think too badly of their opponent.

“From the rumors that we heard, some of the military academy in Area S and P have formed an alliance. We need to get into the action quick, or else we won’t have a chance to meddle with those two areas when the commander arrives,” said another mecha operator from the Second Men’s Military Academy, frowning.

The situation was beyond what they had thought in the first place. In this battle royal, compared to ones from before, alliances were being formed more quickly between all the military academies. If Area S and Area P succeeded in combining into one group, they would end up creating a terrifyingly strong army. If people like them that were from other areas wanted a piece of the pie, they wouldn’t have the chance.

However, everyone knew that Area P was the most valuable area; it housed almost half of the military academies’ headquarters. This was an endless treasury for obtaining a large amount of points. Even if the the Second Men’s Military Academy had a large amount of time to fully take over Area Q and Area M, the points that they gained in the end would only equal the amount of points for a small corner of Area P.

This was also why they were hurriedly moving into Area S. The Second Men’s Military Academy needed to set foot into Area S and P while all other military academies were allying with each other, in order to create a good condition for them to march into Area P fair and square.

“We’re really going to go against those seven? Maybe we should find them ask them for some information about the situation.” One of the mecha operators from the Federal Defence Military Academy was not inclined to blindly start a battle without any information.

“You see, what alliance would want a battle team that couldn’t even manage to muster up 12 people? They will definitely become our spoils of victory.” The Second Men’s Military Academy’s battle team team leader laughed coldly after hearing all that.

These words made the others agree. They were able to agree so quickly on attacking this seven man team was because of this reason.

This allied battle team composed of the Second Men’s Military Academy and Federal Defence Military Academy had perhaps let their guard down because they had the advantage in numbers. Although the opposing formation was both offensive and defensive shown on the radar, no one would think that the seven man battle team would not fear death and actively attack in such a precarious situation.

The 24-man team had entered the range of long-range attacks. Ling Lan didn’t order her group to shoot. She knew very clearly that before the two sides become actual enemies, the first attack was the most important. Ling Lan’s goal was to bring down seven mechas from the opposing side in the first attack—this would further their cut down the opponent’s number of mecha and bring them closer in range with their own.

Thus, she had to wait for the most suitable time to attack…

As the two sides got closer and closer to each other, Ling Lan heartbeat became faster and faster. This time, if she miscalculated by even a little bit, their small team of seven would be met with disaster. Not only would they be eliminated from the battle royale, but this outcome would also affect the entire First Men’s Military Academy.

Ling Lan rummaged through her pockets and again squeezed the thing that could decide their entire team’s fate. She bit her lip. Since there was going to be battle no matter what, then she didn’t have the luxury to be irresolute and hesitant.

Ling Lan’s expression suddenly turned ice cold, and her whole body emitted cold air. If it wasn’t for the cockpit’s temperature control setting, it was possible that the entire cockpit would have been frozen up. However, activating the ice affinity also made Ling Lan as calm as ever, no longer having any fluctuations in her heart.

Waiting was tough. Only a few seconds had passed yet Ling Lan forehead had already formed rivulets of sweat. The sweat trickled down Ling Lan’s forehead, going between her brows, around her nostrils and into the collar of her shirt; Ling Lan’s protective vest quickly became drenched. Fortunately, the protective vest had a drying function and quickly dried up the sweat…

Ling Lan, who was fully focused, went into the fantasy-like world once again. Three of the mecha that were originally flying extremely fast suddenly slowed down their pace. All their movements were clear as day. The operating speed of the opponents automatically appeared in Ling Lan’s mind. She could even see the rhythm and points of how they were operating.

“Weakness! Weakness! Weakness!” Ling Lan’s eyes clearly looked at the three mecha that gave her three chances to take shots. Her talent Profound Insight had worked its magic once again, and this time, its usefulness was shown through these three mechas…

“A3, A4, A5 are mine!” After Ling Lan gave the order, the three mecha, piloted by Li Lanfeng, Xie Yi and Li Shiyu, that were originally responsible for these three mechas, moved their guns slightly.

“A6.”

“A7.”

“A8.”

The three of them all indicated out loud the mechas that they were going to attack. This was to remind others to not overlap their attacks.

“I’ll take B8.” Zhao Jun saw that he didn’t get a piece from the first row of the enemies, thus decisively choose a target from the back.

“Attack!” Finally, Ling Lan gave the order to attack.

The seven of them fired the beam guns in their hands at the same time. Ling Lan’s muzzle shifted in an instant and a beam of light poured out. After leaving the muzzle, it somehow split in mid-air and became three beams of light and flew towards the opponent three mecha.

Actually, this was just an illusion. In reality, Ling Lan had instantly shot out three shots. It was only because the speed of firing was so fast that it gave off the sense of one beam splitting into three…

This odd scene made the three mechas that were being attacked unable to respond. No, actually, it was more like that the attack by Ling Lan’s seven man team was not in their expectations. A sudden attack like this didn’t give them a single chance to dodge.
