Chapter 1016: Imperial Glory’s Chance

The first to change formation was the Imperial Glory battle team. Their five lanes became two. Heracles, piloting Phantom King, was solo. The other four were led by Di Maria down the middle lane. Clearly, Di Maria had confidence in his Ability X. Basically, those like Marzu who were almost immune to Ability X were fatal against Di Maria. But not everyone had Marzu’s abilities, especially Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng’s cultivation technique was very strong, but Di Maria’s abilities were a perfect counter to Wang Zheng’s.

Most crucially, the moment they clashed here, the Phantom King could be used at its fullest to make a tactical choice. It could advance alone, and also flank and gang.

But soon after, Imperial Glory changed formations. The Saruman Snake battle team also changed formations. Only Wang Zheng was left on the middle route, with the other four clustering tightly.

Both sides’ formation changes left the audience gaping. If Imperial Glory’s change had some logic to it because advance and retreat were within their control, then what was Saruman Snake playing at?

Wang Zheng had chosen the Slayer but went solo mid. Was he trying to save the world? Or get mobbed to death?

If Saruman Snake’s tactic was banking on a group battle from Imperial Glory, then Wang Zheng could have chosen the Wind God, which could both advance and retreat. At least given Wang Zheng’s abilities, he could suppress them at a certain level with no problems. But he had chosen the Slayer.

With any other person in charge of Saruman Snake, they might have used the other four to suppress, and let Wang Zheng be the core. Or even let him be a solo surprise attacker.

Both sides had perhaps thought of this method to break open the situation. But unfortunately, Heracles’ Phantom King would meet the four led by Lie Xin. A scout, a fighter and two tanks against Phantom King was not the best of choices. At least these four had little hope of pinning down Phantom King.

And Wang Zheng was even worse off. He would meet, alone, the balanced lineup led by Di Maria. A fighter, a scout, a tank, a sniper.

A perfect mini lineup.

Both sides for now clearly did not know the opponent’s movements, but the situation was starting to lean towards the Imperial Glory battle team. In terms of numbers, the disadvantaged Phantom King on Imperial Glory’s side could advance or retreat, while on Saruman Snake’s side, once Wang Zheng entered the attack radius, he could not retreat even if he wanted to.

Advance…

Nobody knew what was going to happen. Which brain-dead person had cooked up these tactics?

If assumed that Wang Zheng could use the Slayer on a godlike level, then he should have stuck to the group, and let Mu Zhen and Takumi be the sacrificial tank defenses. Let Lie Xin deal with the scout, and let Oli’s Overlord be the X factor.

Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er were very composed, but many eyes were turned to Ai Xiaolu. It was rumored that this Hail Cloud person was of Saruman Snake’s battle team. She must have considerable say. This tactic would not be hers, would it?

Completely illogical.

Luo Er had not come for the last battle’s planning. She had her own matters to attend to. But at this stage, she was full of curiosity, although she would not verbalize it.

She would judge for herself, and needed to judge for herself. In terms of battle tactics, this was definitely not viable. Whether they were fighting a line battle or a group battle, they should neither do this, nor choose this mech.

Where was the variable at play?

The Arbiter girl Oli?

She had always been a reserve, and fresh to the battle. Her performance had been average, and not remarkable.

One could not always look for a miracle every time. If miracles were so common, then that word would not exist.

Ai Xiaolu paid no heed. Her thoughts were not even here. Lin Huiyin had left. Ai Xiaolu felt that this little princess was rather pitiful. Faced with this situation, she had chosen to leave.

This was probably the smart choice. Why persist if one knew it was impossible? It was foolish. That was why Aslan people were sometimes called clever.

From a different angle, Aina had lost her memory, and this must be the best chance. But one look at Huiyin and you knew she could not do that sort of thing. One could also feel that Aina truly loved her sister, and even entrusted her beautiful dreams to Lin Huiyin.

But Ai Xiaolu would not leave. Because she felt that when no one else had a chance, then she might have a chance. Besides, she had confidence in this regard. When guys were in school, they needed a girlfriend with “the right feeling”. But once he graduated, he would see women with a different standard and a different eye.

They were all young. She could wait. All she had to do was follow in Wang Zheng’s footsteps.

As for Aina, that was just their fate, just like Saruman Snake and Imperial Glory must fight for victory.

Wang Zheng would not give way for Aina’s sake, and Aina would not retreat for Wang Zheng.

As long as there was life, there would never be a simple self.

On both routes, the mecha from both sides neared. Out of habit, at these crucial periods, the mech would enter stealth mode, and advance based on strength alone.

But this time was very short. Waiting for the enemy to come to you was not viable in such battles. It was too risky. Initiative was an advantage.

Especially when you had the numbers.

Jin Yaoer made his move, and as a scout, his keen senses had realized something. A hand gesture, and Imperial Glory’s mech fighters responded instantly, leaping into action.

Wang Zheng’s reactions did not seem as fast. In an instant, the enemy four mecha had already surrounded him from four directions and locked on their target.

When they saw the Slayer, all of them had a fright. But almost instantly, Di Maria made the call.

They had netted the big fish!

Among the Saruman Snake battle team, the only one who would use an “unconventional” fighter like the Slayer must be Wang Zheng!

An ambush???

This was the thought that immediately sprung to Di Maria’s mind, and also the rest. They were wary for an instant.

But at this crucial moment, the Phantom King sent a message. The other four were with him.

Perfect!

A look of uncontrollable happiness appeared on Di Maria’s face. Heaven was with him. The Phantom King’s mobility could completely hold off the other four, and he did not care about whether these Atlanteans lived or died. Best if they all die together, they had stolen his leadership and still acted cool.

The important thing was if they finished off Wang Zheng, this match would be over.

One Slayer, watch yourself fall!

With a command, Jin Yaoer had already rushed over. Annil hooted. At this moment, the gentle girl suddenly became a beast. Huiyin’s departure had caused Annil and Lu Die to be extremely angry. They would not warmly look on it as a first love. It was all because of Wang Zheng, that bastard, who had hurt their happy little princess.

Lu Die immediately entered a state. She did not need to hide, or even defend herself, because there was only one opponent. Di Maria was smarter now. Although the advantage was unbelievably huge, he had advanced at the first instance as well, observing. One fatal blow!

This battle needed no support!
