Chapter 1119 - Scheming!
Chapter 1119 Scheming!
The Knight Ace mecha operator in the cockpit could only feel immense pain wrecking through his entire body. He used great effort to tilt his head down and saw that on his chest area, a long line of red blood had already painted his protective vest red. He felt the oxygen in the cockpit was slowly running out, but he couldn’t remember when his cockpit was sliced open.
“I lost? How is that possible?” With a face full of confusion, he no longer had any chance to find out the answer. In the next second, he breathed his last breath.
“Ah, that was a leader’s mecha from Knight Ace Mecha Clan ,” one person excitedly shouted out loud.
The image was zoomed in. The audience watching from the base could clearly see the serial numbers as 37-001 on the broken mecha.
37 was the number of the team, and 001 was the standard number for leaders.
Despite 37 being on the lower-end of the rankings in Knight Ace Mecha Clan, he was still a real leader.
Everyone watching from the base was stunned. A leader from the well-known Knight Ace Mecha Clan was killed by their comrade in front of their eyes just like that?
“Oh my god, who is that long range mecha operator?” someone shouted out in excitement. Everyone fixed their gaze on the Lingtian’s long range mecha that was now confronting another mecha operator from Knight Ace Mecha Clan .
“Thank you, leader.” The mecha operator, who was the original opponent of the mecha operator from Knight Ace Mecha Clan, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his own leader intercepting his opponent successfully. He then gratefully thanked him.
If his leader was late just by a bit, he might have said goodbye to this world. Plus, his luck was terrible since the first opponent he had encountered was very strong and terrifying.
“Leave this to me.” His leader waved the narrow sword in his hand, gesturing to his team member to leave.
After receiving his leader’s orders, the Lingtian mecha operator decisively rushed towards another Knight Ace mecha operator fighting not too far away from him.
Their leader had constantly reminded them that in the battlefield, they must use any means to win and do what gave them the most chances to win. If they could fight as a group, they shouldn’t fight alone. If they could ambush, they shouldn’t fight face to face. If they could plot and scheme, they shouldn’t fight head on. If anyone broke these rules, they definitely would be grabbed by the neck by their leader to relearn everything he had thought. When that happens, they would have to figuratively get smacked in the bottom before they could come out again.
The new mecha operator from Knight Ace Mecha Clan did see his comrade’s life being ended by this leader’s mecha in front of him. His eyes filled with killing intent. He quickly raised the large sword in his hand and piloted his mecha in a crazed fashion, cutting towards his opponent.
Anyone who dared to kill their comrades must use their lives to pay for it!
The two of them clashed for a few rounds. The speed of the clash was so fast that some of the audience did not manage to keep up with their eyes.
In the end, the two of them attacked each other with great force and rebounded away from each other.
In the instant they rebounded back, the emblems and serial numbers on their chests were shown clear as day.
The serial number on the Knight Ace Mecha Clan mecha was 007-001. The audience didn’t expect that after seeing the 37th leader be taken out, another leader actually appeared in his place. Most importantly, he was ranked 7th in Knight Ace Mecha Clan.
The serial number on the Lingtian mecha was 006-001.
“He is also a leader. Team 06’s leader.” Seeing this scene, those in the base instantly shouted out in excitement with their arms high in the air.
“No wonder he could kill Knight Ace Mecha Clan’s 37th leader. Our Team 06’s leader is stronger than him!” The fighting spirit of these worry warts, that was pushed down by fear they had in their hearts, now increased to a new height because of Lingtian’s two fights with two leader level opponents.
“But Team 06’s leader is a long range mecha operator, while that 7th leader from Knight Ace Mecha Clan is piloting a close combat mecha. Would he be in trouble now that they’re fighting each other?” Despite everyone’s excitement, they were still able to see the situation clearly. They still couldn’t help but be worried for Team 06’s leader’s safety.
“That Li Lanfeng, why is he getting in your way?” Little Four, who had nothing to do up until now, finally saw a stray looking to cause Boss trouble. Just as he felt he was given something to do, that annoying Li Lanfeng intercepted that person and took the prey away from his clutches. His dumb actions annoyed Little Four quite a lot.
Ling Lan glanced at Little Four speechlessly. She didn’t know why Little Four was angry. In fact, Li Lanfeng was just being nice. He was afraid Ling Lan’s injuries hadn’t healed yet and would reopen if she were to pilot her mecha to fight.
In reality, after the rest she had recently, her body didn’t have anymore big issues. As long as she didn’t stupidly pilot a mecha above her capabilities, she would be able to endure battles even if it was for three days and nights.
However, it seemed odd because for a while now, Little Four seemed to complain about Li Lanfeng a lot. As long as he got the chance to, he would tattle on Li Lanfeng to Ling Lan. If it wasn’t the fact that Ling Lan knew Little Four definitely didn’t have any connections with Li Lanfeng, Ling Lan might have misunderstood and thought that maybe Li Lanfeng had bullied Little Four when she wasn’t paying attention.
“Am I wrong? Boss, you just need to casually slash Firmament for such individuals to take care of them instantly. Unlike him, who is so useless and who almost lost his life before somehow managing to take care of his opponent,” Little Four mumbled.
“That’s why you’re an intelligent entity and he is a mecha operator.” Ling Lan couldn’t help but stop Little Four from thinking as a layman.
“Huh?” Little Four was completely confused.
“Little Four, if you were to meet Li Lanfeng in the future, remember to stay as far away from him as possible.” Sighed Ling Lan.
“Why?” Little Four was unwilling to give in. “In the virtual world, I can beat him to a pulp even if he has virtual powers.”
Ling Lan patted Little Four’s spiky hair and said helplessly, “That’s not what I meant. I’m just afraid you’ll fall into one of Li Lanfeng’s traps.”
“Huh?” Little Four couldn’t understand the meaning of Ling Lan’s words again.
“In fact, when he had taken shots to intercept that Knight Ace mecha operator, he had already begun to scheme,” said Ling Lan slowly. “He purposely gave his opponent the impression that he was a long range mecha operator.”
“Isn’t he though? Isn’t he piloting a long range mecha?” asked Little Four.
“Can you really tell what type of mecha he’s piloting with the modifications made by Chang Xinyuan?” Ling Lan shook her head. She didn’t have any special requirements for members of the teams within her clan, but leaders must not have clear weaknesses in their mechas. Out of the leaders, Li Lanfeng was the best at not showing his weaknesses.
“As a matter of fact, Li Lanfeng’s close combat skills is actually stronger than his long range skills. Other than those close to him, no one else knows about this,” Ling Lan said this and then realized that other than her, there wasn’t anyone else who was close to him.
It had to be said that if she also didn’t know Li Lanfeng, she definitely wouldn’t like Li Lanfeng either. Even Li Shiyu, who was nice to him no matter what, was not trusted by Li Lanfeng. When he schemes against him, he wouldn’t hesitate… However, as luck would have it, that guy trusted her with his life. The more heartless and merciless he was towards others, the more nice he seemed towards her.
What great deed did she do in her previous life or did she commit a great sin, for her to meet an oddball like Li Lanfeng in this life. His selfless action made her feel like she wasn’t nice to him, she would feel as though she had sinned… Ling Lan felt slightly annoyed by that feeling, but she couldn’t push away such a pure friendship just because of tha.
Whatever. She’ll endure it since she could bear the burden anyways.
