Chapter 1164: Weak

It was a different sentiment, because men and women felt things differently. When confronting a strong opponent, especially in this sort of battle mode, it would definitely be an advantage for the overall situation if you could counterbalance a stronger position against your opponent with a weaker position.

If the Saruman Snake battle team chose to abandon their sniper in the team battle, then replacing Snow Li in the previous match and allowing Wang Zheng to battle it out with Achilles, would without a doubt be a very good tactic.

However, for Snow Li, this was a huge blow to her pride. She kept telling herself to stay calm and not be too emotional, but she could not. Snow Li She was not blaming Wang Zheng. It was not in her DNA in to blame others. She blamed herself for being useless, and eventually had to hold back.

Her change in mentality was reflected rapidly in the battle. As an Earth-rank Warrior, Battuta realized this after the opponent had blasted two shots.

The accuracy of the shots was still intact, but the suppression was missing. It was fatal for a special forces warrior to lose control of the situation and premonition.

In a flash, the Light Wheel King closed the gap. If both of them were evenly matched, there would be doubts questioning whether Snow Li had done it on purpose. But Battuta was full of confidence. Besides, decisiveness was key in the battle field, and hesitation was the greatest taboo.

The target was clear; the Light Wheel King was closing in. Regardless of what the target of the opponent was, as long as the distance was shortened, he would have the advantage.

Only a person of a certain caliber would be able to sense the subtle differences in details. Wang Zheng could not help but frown. Snow Li was panicking a little… very suddenly, but why?

It was not an impromptu decision for Wang Zheng to send Snow Li to the battle, nor was it to lose this round, but rather, to help her. Snow Li had reached a bottleneck in her practice of her Revert technique. There was no time for shortcuts. She needed an oppressive battle for the breakthrough to the next level. In order for Saruman to advance, it needed everyone’s best efforts. Snow Li’s position was irreplaceable. They definitely needed her support, and that was the reason for the gamble in the previous round. Tactically, all he needed to do was to send out Achilles. Ultimately, the team battle would be the decisive match. This was a very precious opportunity, and only Wang Zheng would be bold enough to make this decision. In actual fact, Wang Zheng was used to being skillful. Regardless of whether it was Zhang Shan, Lie Xin, Achilles, or the others, they had such resilience and the opportunity to break out of their limits.

It was the same for Snow Li. He could see her efforts. There were no distractions, just training. But practice alone was insufficient. Sometimes, ambition was needed. Or at least strong motivation. Regardless of skills or Ability X, only with such strong demand could there be a chance for a breakthrough.

Wang Zheng had considered long and hard before deciding to put his faith in Snow Li, and to send her on. Wang Zheng did not understand what the year of the Ice Dragon Soaring was, nor did he believe in the gods, but he knew that there were definitely rules and powerful forces that existed in the universe. What he valued was Snow Li’s will.

The subtle changes in Snow Li were noticed by Battuta. With accelerated speed, the Light Wheel King closed in. Snow Li missed the two most important shots. She was under heavy fire from the Light Wheel King.

The light wheels flew across, and instantly enveloped the Ice Bird mech. Snow Li had no choice but to retreat.

Among the warriors, the Light Wheel King’s mobility was much better than the Slayer and Golden Wheel Battle King’s. There was no escaping the Light Wheel King once you lost your firepower.

Fortunately, Battuta possessed the earth element, so he would not be able to unleash his full potential in long range battle. Otherwise, Snow Li would have had to surrender by now.

Battuta’s piloting was classic textbook level. A very stable and steady way for a warrior to suppress a sniper, giving them no opportunity to retaliate. The audience was also nodding in agreement. Manalasuo’s mechanics were indeed amazing. A tank could operate a warrior mech to such an amazing level. It was something that the other countries should learn.

A characteristic for an all-rounder was understanding. By understanding the performance and the attacking mode of the opponents’ mech, it would make targeting the opponent easier. In such evenly matched battles, this would be very helpful.

For several years now, the Manalasuo Empire had been quite competitive. These sorts of competitive environments were very tiring for the students at the military schools, but it was effective. In comparison, many federations seemed more laidback, claiming democracy and freedom. Of course, there was nothing wrong about this. However, their military strength was declining.

Of course, Snow Li was also aware of this. Hence, the Ice Bird kept retreating, making use of the sniper to block off the opponent’s pursuits. But it paled in comparison.

The Ice Bird would be within the complete control of the opponent within three minutes.

There was still a killer move from Snow Li, but it was no longer a surprise attack. In full speed, the Light Wheel King appeared. Battuta flashed a little smile. He would love to witness the power of the sniper of Saruman Snake. Go ahead and strike! A perfect opportunity had already been presented to you!

The Light Wheel King charged forward. Battuta seemed want to finish the battle in one vigorous attack. This was Snow Li’s last chance.

The Ice Bird did not dodge. The two mecha finally came face-to-face. The rifle of the Ice Bird was trained on the forward-charging Light Wheel King. Inhale, exhale!

It was important to grasp the breath of the opponent, because they would definitely evade. A sniper had to had a sense of that feeling, the feeling of a fatal strike.

A pale blue energy emerged around the Ice Bird. Snow Li finally decided to go all out.

Battuta bit his teeth. Interesting. With this level of energy, if it did not cause any damage to the sniper, it would be very dangerous. As a tank, he craved for this sort of excitement. Come on, come on!

Boom…

The rifle suddenly rose and a blue laser struck, bringing with it a cold, icy chill.

Battuta did not dodge. The Light Wheel King was still charging on….

Arc Rifle!

Zheng Shan clenched his fists tightly. The Arc Rifle was the most difficult shot to defend against. It was unbelievable that Snow Li had already mastered this skill.

Wang Zheng let out a helpless sigh. A pure technical display was useless. In such confrontations, what mattered was the mastery of the momentum of control and suppression, not the Arc Rifle or direct attacks.

It would be ruined if a sniper were to rely purely on rigid skills.

The Light Wheel King, who was advancing at full speed, suddenly moved in a Z-shaped variable pattern.

The Titanium Alloy Dog Eyes blinded the group of people. This tank’s ability to pull off such a maneuver, especially with such perfect timing, was enough to put many scouts and warriors to shame.

Snow Li’s second attack was mounting. The first attack was dodged. Her opponent would definitely destroy her Ice Bird before she could launch a second strike.

The Ice Laser missed its target, and in the blink of an eye, the laser exploded…

Although it was very different from a direct hit, the powerful force of the frost was enough to delay the reaction of the opponent.

This was what Snow Li had prepared initially.

However, the Light Wheel King emerged from the blue waves. An earth-coloured glow shrouded around the Light Wheel King – Earth Force Field!

Battuta laughed sarcastically. It was wishful thinking to try and beat him with such a trick. The Earth Force Field neutralized the frostiness of the ice. The Light King Wheel only stopped momentarily and then charged straight on to the Ice Bird.
