Chapter 831: The hidden card of Saruman Snake

Other than those, it would be Jian Zihao’s Icefire battle team. This was a combined team from Astina Federation and Hail Cloud Alliance. Who would have thought that old nemeses would team up in the end? However the truth was, under the current circumstances, this was the best decision. At the same time, the battle team’s characteristics were distinct and it was competitive. Jian Zihao was just like Dendi, a returning super master. He was also the pride of Astina and possessed strong individual charisma.

The seventh slot would be for Dark Wolves battle team. It was a combined team of Darkness Empire and Sirius Star and would be led by Yang Pan. Yang Pan was undoubtedly the most well-known person from Sirius Star in Elite Academy in recent times. When he was at his most glamorous days, he was even fiercer than Marzu. His practical battle experience was even richer than Marzu. He had also been through training and trials for a longer time. Initially, he was granted graduation already. However because of this competition, especially so when Sirius star needed him, he had decided to stay behind to at least lay the foundation for Sirius.

With such a powerful line up and competition, no one dare to let their guards down. One might be able to say that some teams lacked a core member in the past and therefore lacked unity. However, the leadership figures of various teams had all appeared now. Moreover, no matter if it was individual strength or individual charisma, they were able to control the team.

The competition for the last slot was still very intense. The other teams weren’t like the previous seven teams that had absolute competitive powers.

For example, the Maacah Republic’s battle team and various others combined teams. Truthfully speaking, these teams were still much more competitive than Wang Zheng’s unconventional team.

Therefore the match with Eagle battle team could directly decide the fate of Saruman Snake battle team. If they won, they might make it. If they lost, there’s zero possibility.

And such moment of destiny had now fallen in the hands of Achilles.

The strategy had been set. This match was open to public. Wang Zheng naturally wasn’t afraid to let others know about it. At the final stage of the selection, the Professors would also pay particular interests in this type of competition. Practical battles were the most direct judgement criteria. It was especially so if it was between a reserve team and a team that had already qualified.

With the arrival of the Professors and the members of some teams, Ai Xiaolu was getting a little worried. She felt that what Wang Zheng was doing was very risky. Achilles was just a failure. Even if Dendi did not participate for Male Eagle, they were still an elite team. They were both mature and strong. As this involved Vincent, they would not be lenient. If they were to lose, Wang Zheng would have lost more than just the match.

Lear brought along all the members from Dynasty battle team. He wouldn’t want to miss any chance to see Wang Zheng fail.

Lear knew about the incident on Earth. However he didn’t want to care about it. This type of small thing wouldn’t distract him. His goal and future were already very clear and he would have to let go of other gains and losses. Lear wasn’t someone who wanted to be at a disadvantage in the things that mattered.

“To let Achilles take the lead in a match that could decide their fate, I’m not sure if I should call him daring or ignorant.”

Lear smile faintly. It had been a long time since he was so relaxed. He could sit down comfortably from high ground while watching others risked their life. This type of feeling was truly great.

Wang Zheng and the group were waiting below the arena. This match would be entirely handed over to Achilles. Wang Zheng seemed particularly convinced. On the other hand, Ai Xiaolu wasn’t confident at all.

The Hail Cloud Alliance had cooperated with Astina. This was also beyond all expectations. However, the alumni clubs of both sides weren’t too surprised. The two alliances didn’t have a family vendetta. It was just that they had different styles that were rather restricting on each other. Therefore they had gone against each other rather very often. However in the Elite Academy, due to the often interactions between them, they realised that the coldness of Hail Cloud Alliance and passion of Astina could actually be complementary. Clearly, under current circumstances, working together would be the best choice to go against strong and powerful countries like Aslan and the rest.

Once they had decided to cooperate, that Icefire battle team would have possessed the capability to become the champion. As one of the representative of the Hail Cloud Alliance, the situation with Ai Xiaolu and Snow Li had also become a little awkward. If Saruman Snake battle team couldn’t get that valuable slot, it would be inevitable for Ai Xiaolu and Snow Li to leave. Yet, Wang Zheng had handed a match that could decide their fate to Achilles.

“Wang Zheng, how confident are you?” Ai Xiaolu couldn’t hold back and asked.

Wang Zheng smiled. He had not expected to have so many people spectating. It might also be because of the existence of the Eagle battle team that had attracted some of the qualified teams to observe the strength and strategy of their future opponent.

Looking at the members of Eagle, although the signature Dendi wasn’t around, they were basically all capable as main team members. They also wouldn’t want to lose at this place.

Bebeto was the captain on the field. He was also the leadership figures in the new generation of Manalasuo and took the freedom warrior position. The mech that he would be using was Manalasuo’s Frenzy Sword. He also received the title of a mechanic and was much more senior than Vincent.

Roybad, heavy armour. The mech he used was the famous heavy armour mech from Manalasuo – Dragon’s Scale.

Cassia, sniper. The mech she used was Dragon’s Eye.

Zhou Yu, attacker. The mech he used was Golden Wheel.

Chris Wu, scout. The mech he used was part of the Dragon series, Dragon’s Fang.

These 5 people were the original main members of the Eagle battle team and were famous in the Elite Academy’s team battle circle. From individual strength to teamwork, they were all top class.

There were also some divided opinions within Manalasuo with regard to the addition of Dendi. Bebeto and the rest didn’t have other opinions about it. They had sufficient confidence, as the standards for team battle couldn’t be just pieced together. However the strength demonstrated by the other teams was truly quite pressurizing. Therefore everyone had welcomed a strong and experienced person like Dendi becoming the captain and lead them forward. However, why did he want to recruit Vincent?

He was a rookie and only knew how to use the Golden Wheel. The pros and cons of this mech were very obvious and could be easily targeted. Moreover, Zhou Yu was confident that his usage of the Golden Wheel wouldn’t be inferior. For this match, he had chosen the Golden Wheel with the intention of a direct competition.

This was a mature team. The fact that it qualified automatically was enough to answer a lot of questions.

Bebeto was mature, capable and had a good grasp of the big picture. Roybad and Peng Wu from Lear’s battle team had been widely considered to be the best tank pilot in team battles. Their understanding of the heavy armoured position were undoubtedly accurate.

Cassia’s shooting record in the Elite Academy was still the highest and hadn’t been broken till now. Members of a team might have weaknesses in individual fights but they all had something they specialised in. Moreover, the so-called team battle was to maximise the strengths of the members and mitigate their weaknesses through strategies so as to unleash battle prowess beyond expectation.

Chris Wu was a top notch scout. He had never fallen out of the top 3 in the past ranking of scouts in team battle.

Manalasuo was full of talents. Among the teams that had qualified, only Manalasuo and Arbiter had maintained the purity of the team and were formed entirely by members of a single country.

They were indeed very proud of it.

As to Ai Xiaolu’s questions and worries, Wang Zheng laughed. “Confidence? I have none… it’s impossible.”

“How were you still in a mood to joke? Achilles is a failure and has just joined. Can he handle such an important match as the leader?” Sometimes, Ai Xiaolu was impressed by Wang Zheng. Sometimes she would feel that she cared too much about brotherhood to the extent of being childish.

Wang Zheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and decided not to continue explaining to Ai Xiaolu. He wanted to see Achilles true strength. This was also what the Saruman Snake battle team needed.

Undoubtedly, Achilles was a smart person. One wouldn’t be tired interacting with this type of person. Even if Wang Zheng didn’t say anything, Achilles also knew clearly.

This match was for him to prove his capabilities and loyalty.

The members of the Eagle battle team were relaxed and were chatting and laughing casually. They even started chatting about what they had for dinner yesterday and what they played yesterday. Only Zhou Yu was staring at Vincent’s choice. Vincent had chosen the Golden Wheel without a doubt.

A smirk appeared on the side of Zhou Yu’s mouth. He knew about this guy. This guy had specialised in understanding and train hard in the Golden Wheel. At the end of the day, he only knew how to operate a single type of mech. This was simply ridiculous. The most crucial thing was he was just so-so after training so hard for it. He didn’t want Vincent to join and jeopardise his position in the main team. He was just a rookie. Even if he was to join, he should only be his training partner quietly. This was still dependent if he was happy about it!

Achilles – Heavenly Dragon Spear

Zhang Shan – Wind God

Snow Li – Icy Arrow

Vincent – Golden Wheel

Takumi – Desolate Steel Beast

After seeing this choice, Wang Zheng smiled. In this match, there were at least 2 people who were serious about it. One of them was Achilles. The Heavenly Dragon Spear mech was probably what he was best at. He had never seen Achilles use it. The other person was Takumi. Desolate Steel Beast was a specialised mech for the people of Ghana. No one had expected that he would be able to use it with his human body. However as an elite from the Black Tortoise Region, this might be possible. Suddenly, Wang Zheng started to look forward to the match. Achilles had discussed the strategy with the rest the previous night. Wang Zheng did not take part in it. His presence would affect the regular organisation of Achilles. At Achilles’ level, he wouldn’t need others to guide him and he would have his own set of moves.

The members of the other battle teams were discussing fervently. There were many non-mainstream mecha. There were even some mecha that no one had seen others used previously.

The battle scene chosen was the most brutal team battle colosseum.

There was nothing to use as cover and no energy tower for defence. It was just a bare head on fight that challenged the teamwork of a team to the maximum. It was also the greatest assessment on a sniper positioning and attacking.

Whether they have the capabilities would have to be determined in the battle!

At the side of Arbiter’s battle, everyone was expression-less. All of them seemed to be bearing a huge grudge on one another. Although they had formed a single team now, there was still a clear division between the people of Marzu and the people of Olivios.

There were simply too many talented people from Arbiter. For example, no one had noticed Oli. Even if others had known about her identity, no one would care too.

At the Aslan’s side, they were chatting happily. Since the reconciliation with Wang Zheng, the little princess had started to worry for Wang Zheng’s fate again. It was especially so as her side wasn’t too bullish about Saruman Snake’s chances.

Only Lear’s gaze was a little weird. He wasn’t as relaxed as Luo Fei who was beside him. The members of the Dynasty battle team were very relaxed and happy, regardless if they were the main members or reserves. Lear had created an opportunity for them to move to the highest platform and they might even be able to accumulate points for their countries. This would be equivalent to giving them the chance to be better known by their countries. This type of glory was definitely not be comparable with money or individual glory.
