It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1436 - Won“t Regret I



1436 Won“t Regret I

The video chat display of the commanders suddenly turned black.

“What happened?” The team leaders were stunned. They tried their hardest to reconnect with them, but all they heard from the other side was silence.

“Commander Ai’er.”

“Commander!”

“Commander Qiao!” There were shouts coming from different parts of the army, but none received any response.

“Let’s go take a look.” In unison, everyone started to turn around to go check their commander, including the team responsible for guarding the three commanders.

“They’re here. You guys be careful.” Ling Lan felt the ground below her shake violently and calmly reminded Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang.

“Understood.” Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang held their control sticks firmly, fully knowing that a bloody massacre was about to begin.

Taking out the commanders was the first and easiest step of saving Zhao Jun and the others. The next and most dangerous was how they would handle the cumulative anger of three armies.

If they managed to hold them off for long enough, Zhao Jun and the others would be safe. If they couldn’t hold them off, not only would they perish here, Zhao Jun and the others wouldn’t be able to live the next day either.

Whether they live or die would depend on this.

“How about it, Ling Lan? Should I take over?” A familiar and sharp voice rang in Ling Lan’s mind.

“I’ll be fine, Instructor Number Three. If I can’t even manage this much, I will be too embarrassed to say I’m your student,” Ling Lan said calmly.

She was just facing a bunch of average mechas. Moreover, they weren’t even god-class operators. She didn’t need Instructor Number Three to handle a bunch of small-fries.

“I know, but you can’t say the same about your comrades.” Number Three asked with a light smile on his face. Compared to Ling Lan, Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang were clearly in more risk of dying. If they were unlucky, they might actually die here.

“This is something they must experience anyway. I can’t follow them and take care of them forever.” When Ling Lan spoke those ruthless words, her expression was freezing cold. However, for some reason, there was also a hint of warmth in her eyes.

“Oh you.” Number Three sighed. Sometimes, letting go was also a type of courage, a courage not everyone had.

“So, you’re already mentally prepared about your decision, even if the outcome is the one you desire the least?” Number Three’s expression suddenly turned stern.

“Of course. I may be angry or sad, but I won’t regret it,” Ling Lan shouted angrily. As the shout left her throat, her left hand danced around the keyboard and her right hand pulled forcefully on the control stick. Her mecha shot up like a cannonball towards the incoming mechas.

“Ah!” The enemy mecha operator only saw a white flash of light coming down from the sky, before feeling a bone-crushing feeling in his abdomen. The pain totally fried his mind, and all he could do was scream in pain. Just before the last bit of oxygen left his body, he let out a small whimper before staying forever silent in excruciating pain

“What happened?” Another team of mecha from afar, unaware of the danger that was about to befall them, asked angrily.

“Wu…”

“Ah!”

“Ouch!”

“Ugh…”

The commlink channel could only record their dying breath before cutting off in an instant. Those who heard those noises felt a chill going down to their spines. The mystery of the killer shocked them to their core. However, they all knew that something terrible must have happened to their comrade.

Everyone was on high alert. Their only solace was the weapons in their hands, the only thing that could provide them with a sense of safety. Not long after, the truth behind the sudden deaths were revealed.

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!” Screams echoed from their commlink channel.

It was good that it was just an enemy attack.

The brigade leaders felt as if a boulder was being lifted off their shoulder. In the Lawless Lands, people weren’t scary. What was truly scary were the unexplainable phenomenons happening in random districts. As a member of the official armies of the 13 Lords, they knew much more of the secrets in the Lawless Lands than a normal commoner of the Lawless Lands.

“Report your positions. Don’t get left behind. We’ll surround them together.” The brigade leaders all contacted each other. They believed they fell for the attack because they were separated.

“Alright.” The team leaders contacted each other. On the other side, Ling Lan activated all of her reconnaisse systems. Despite not being as detailed and clear as Little Four, it was still enough for Ling Lan to use.

“Firmament, don’t disappoint me,” shouted Ling Lan in her mind. Her mecha leaped into the air before dropping like a huge cannonball towards the closest enemy mecha.

Although Ling Lan’s piloting abilities could easily overpower these mecha operators, she wouldn’t be able to insta-kill those enemy mechas if it weren’t for Firmament.

When Ling Lan first received the Firmament, its edge was the best available in the market at that time. In ranking of cold weapons for ace mechas, it could be easily ranked in the top 10.

Of course, as Ling Lan’s mecha reached the imperial level, Firmament which had followed Ling Lan for her entire journey and had helped her achieve many military merits, seemed to not be able to follow in Ling Lan’s footsteps.

If it wasn’t for Chang Xinyuan, Ling Lan would have had a headache with picking another cold weapon to replace Firmament. After all, Ling Lan was quite used to Firmament, changing it suddenly would make Ling Lan feel odd. Although with Ling Lan’s adaptability and the experience she had, she would eventually be able to get used to her new weapon, however, the unexplainable connection between the weapon and the user wasn’t something that could be offset by a short amount of training and some experience.

Lucky for Ling Lan, she had a mecha modification master like Chang Xinyuan by her side, so she didn’t have to worry about that problem. After Chang Xinyuan reforged it on multiple occasions, Firmament’s edge had reached a level where it suited her needs.

It could be said that unless it was a cold weapon made for a god-class mecha, out of any cold weapon made by humans, if the Firmament’s sharpness was in the second place, no other human-made cold weapon would dare to proclaim first. The way Chang Xinyuan put it was that it was enough for Boss to use until he switched to a god-class mecha.

However, no matter how strong the Firmament was, after piercing through mecha cockpits for so many times, the blade’s edge would dull. Once Firmament loses its terrifying sharpness, no matter how overwhelming Ling Lan’s piloting skills were, she wouldn’t be able to cull down the overwhelming amount of enemy mechas in front of her. Moreover, she would be able to intimidate them if she weren’t insta-killing them.

In mecha battles, although it was mostly on abilities, mentality was also something that shouldn’t be disregarded.

Just like right now. A group of team leaders appeared in front of Ling Lan. However, after seeing Ling Lan cut down two of their mecha operators with just two slashes of her sword, these leaders panicked. Some of them also hesitated their movements.

Although their hesitation wasn’t obvious, it was still enough for a mecha operator of Ling Lan’s level to kill these people.

Ling Lan’s mecha flashed around the battlefield, creating multiple afterimages in the process. Her movements were swift and unpredictable. If one stopped to look, she would have already gotten in front of that person. If they took another look, they would see multiple mechas toppling down with a flash of white light.

“Ah!” A team leader shouted with an earth-piercing scream. Perhaps it was to make himself less scared, or perhaps it was to let out his fear. He raised his large sword in a desperate attempt to kill the monstrous spectre that was killing his comrades.

Shoo! A deafening sharp sound echoed in his ears.
