Chapter 1399
1399 Judging.
Zhao Jun held the control stick tightly in his hand. Sweat was coming out of his hand continuously before evaporating in an instant.
Zhao Jun was nervous. There seemed to be a huge problem weighing down on his heart.
At first, he thought that there was nothing he was frightened of. However, when he had to give the order for his team to fight with a mecha clan that vastly outnumbered them, Zhao Jun suddenly realized he wasn’t as fearless as he thought.
Although he had been through countless torturous battles and had fearlessly led his mecha team to fight on the first line of offense, he realized he could do all those war god-like acts because he had comrades he could trust behind him, and at anytime he was no longer able to withhold any longer, his trusty comrades would lead reinforcements to save him.
Because he had this confidence, he didn’t feel any pressure. He just needed to focus on fighting. However, now, in this unfamiliar Kamoda district, where he had no reinforcements, he could feel the chilling wind blowing behind him.
Moreover, in the past battles, Boss or the strategists would be the ones giving the direction. He was just an executor. Yet, at this moment, he had to measure all the possibilities and make a decision with no one helping him. Whether it was right or wrong, it was his decision to make. If it was right, everything would be still alright. If he made the wrong judgment, the entire mecha team would be annihilated.
Zhao Jun finally understood what responsibilities a regiment commander had to endure.
Would they really be able to fight against five enemies each? Zhao Jun hesitated.
“Regiment commander, our enemy is already less than five kilometers away from us.” The leader of the scout team hastily reported.
“Should we fight or not?” Cold sweat formed on Zhao Jun’s forehead. Was he able to handle the trust of these 2000 mecha masters? The pressure of failure was rapidly creeping up on him.
“Regiment commander, they’re already four kilometers away.” Mecha moved at a very fast speed. Within a short time, they had shortened the distance by one kilometer.
“Zhao Jun, don’t be nervous. Think about Boss. What would he do?” Zhao Jun violently grabbed his control stick with his left hand, but his right hand was still trembling.
“I don’t create trouble but that doesn’t mean that I’m afraid of trouble. Since some people aren’t afraid of death and have come to offend us… let’s kill them all.” In his mind, Ling Lan’s indifferent voice flooded his mind. Boss was never afraid.
“Since there has to be a fight, let’s not think about how to evade it. What I should think about is how to exterminate the other party and eliminate all future troubles.” Yes, Boss never backed down. He liked to solve their problems once and for all. He wouldn’t forgive their enemies.
“The chance of us winning is more than 50%. Why not take the bet?” That’s right, Boss was a decisive person. No matter how bad their situation was, he would be able to lead everyone and cleared a path for themselves.
“Zhao Jun, I believed you!” The voice of Boss when he was passing the leadership of the mecha clan to him came up in his mind. This was what he said.
Yes, Boss always believed in them. Even if they made a huge mistake, even if he punished them heavily, the trust he had in them never diminished.
“That’s right, since Boss trusts me, Zhao Jun, why don’t you trust yourself?” Zhao Jun suddenly smiled brightly. Deep down in his heart, he hated this kind of endless battle. However, as long as his comrades were fighting, as long as everyone needed him, he wouldn’t retreat from the frontlines.
“Since Boss trusts me, Zhao Jun, why can’t you trust them?” The first half of the sentence was the same as before but the last part was different. The former was him judging himself while the latter was him questioning himself.
“Everyone, split up and cooperate with each other for an ambush.” A glimmer of decisiveness showed Zhao Jun’s eyes. He gave the order to fight without hesitation.
“Yes.” The leaders of all the teams received his command.
Soon, the mechas started splitting up. Each team went to search for the best ambush location. To facilitate their ambush, the chameleon system would be constantly activated.
In the far corner, Lord Li’s ten thousand men mecha clan was rushing in their direction quickly. On the way here, they didn’t sense anything amiss here.
“Anything up front?” Every mecha clan had a team of scouts scouting the situation in front of them. Lord Li’s army placed high importance on their frontline scouting. Every kilometer they moved the strategist of the regiment commander would ask the scouts about any changes up front.
“No enemy mecha clans have been discovered currently.” Although the jungle zone was known to have a lot of ambushes, their radar and other reconnaissance equipment all showed that it was safe.
“Everyone, be careful. Based on the news given by the command center, we should be meeting an army from Lord Zhen or Lord Gen if we head in this direction.” The voice of their regiment commander appeared in their channel to remind them.
“I sure hope those two teams won’t work together,” One of the team leaders was a little worried as he said.
“It shouldn’t be possible. Lord Zhen and Lord Gen’s relationship isn’t good, so the relationships of their subordinates are bad too. It’s rare to see them getting along harmoniously,” Someone refuted.
“That’s in the past. I heard that Lord Zhen supported the new Lord Gen in taking over the new position.” One of the team leaders seemed to have some ways of getting secret intel.
“That’s impossible, right? How can our Lord Li watch Lord Zhen expand his influence without doing anything?” Another team leader refuted the idea again. Their relationship with Lord Zhen was quite bad. Although it wasn’t as bad as the relationship with the old Lord Gen, it wasn’t any better either. As for why Lord Li and Lord Zhen had such a bad relationship… we have to talk about their domain concept. The latter had the lightning element while the former had the fire element. Both of them wished for the title of the most powerful offense domain concept. The two lords wouldn’t bow down to each other so after a few altercations, the relationship turned sour.
“Stop talking nonsense. Even if their relationship is good, they might not cooperate. They are for sure guarded against each other.” One of the team leaders saw through the lords.
There might be alliances formed during a battle royale, but everyone knew your ally this year might be your enemy the next year. No one would maintain a working relationship partner whom they collaborated with for only a few days. Everyone just appeared harmonious on the surface. Sometimes, for the sake of benefits, they would play dirty with one another.
“As long as they don’t cooperate, we are not afraid of anyone,” Another team leader said arrogantly. He was boasting. In these few years, Lord Li had always owned the territory of Kamoda because he was always on the winning side of the battle royale. Their mecha clan might not be the first among all of Lord Li’s mecha clan but they were among the top three. He had never lost for the past few years. It was understandable that they felt proud of themselves.
“Okay, stop chatting. Even if there’s no situation reported up front, everyone still has to be careful.” The regiment commander appeared and ended this conversation.
At this moment, a portion of the mechas had already entered Zhao Jun’s ambush zone.
“Leader!” After seeing so many mechas coming over, the team members that were hiding in front started feeling restless.
“There’s no need to hurry. Let them leave.” Their leader was very calm. Only a small portion of the mechas had entered their trap. If they revealed their fangs now, they wouldn’t be able to achieve the greatest result. They needed to bear with it for a while longer.
In Lingtian, once you got on the battlefield, all the mecha operators would have to listen to their team leaders unconditionally. The ranking system must be abided strictly. Anyone that dared to break the rule would be punished. The punishment was enough to ensure that they lived in hell every day in the future.
The mecha operators knew this so after their team leader spoke, no one said anything else. They controlled their impatience and waited silently.
