Chapter 793: Evil Wind Mecha Team! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, because there weren"t enough ace mecha clans to go around, in order to protect their base, many of their brothers-in-arms lost their lives unnecessarily… All of this happened because the commanding officer of their base had offended a higher-up of the 6th Division, causing them to not have an ace mecha clans stationed at their base.
Although everyone wanted to blame them for their brothers-in-arms lives, it was still the battle between the higher-ups where they couldn"t do anything about. They could only watch and suffer as they see their comrades continue to lose their lives. This was why they were so happy when they knew that their base was going to be taken under the wing of the 23rd Division.
"I heard it"s not a standard clan, but an ace mecha clan!" Qiu Ming saw that everyone"s moods were low and immediately gave them the good news.
"What? An ace mecha clan!" Everyone jumped up in excitement with expression of joy on their faces. "Doesn"t that mean that their base is finally going to have an ace mecha clan?" That was definitely good news.
"Haha, I knew General Ling Xiao wouldn"t to us dirty like the 6th division." One mecha operator smacked his table excitedly.
"An ace mecha clan will finally come!" All the veterans began to celebrate.
"What"s the name of the ace mecha clan?" Some people asked.
Hearing this, Qiu Ming"s expression changed oddly. He hesitated for a moment and said, "250 Ace Mecha Clan."
"250?" The initially excited veterans became gloomy once again.
"Sh*t, after waiting for a year, they actually sent a normal clan!" One veteran began to swear and throw insults. Although they were just normal soldiers and didn"t belong to the Federation"s 23 divisions, they still knew about the meaning behind the names of clans within the divisions.
Ace mecha clans were either t.i.tled ace mecha clans and normal ace mecha clans.
t.i.tled ace mecha clans had mecha operators who were veteran ace mecha operators chock full of battle experience. It was possible that half of those mecha operators have already reached the half-way point to becoming an elite. There were probably also a few who reached the peak. In battlefield where only ace mecha operators existed, peak ace mecha operators were the best of the best. If Base 013 had these mecha operators, would they still be scared?
On the other hand, standard ace mecha clans wouldn"t have any t.i.tled. The ace mecha clans that only had numbers in their names were formed from the gathering of ace mecha operators, many of which just had advanced. There were even cases where some of these ace mecha clans had only half of its members being ace mecha operators. The other half would be filled by special-cla.s.s operators, which capabilities were incomparable to those of ace mecha operators.
For example, if a standard ace mecha clan had 1500 mecha operators, a t.i.tled ace mecha clan would only need 500 people to decimate the 1500 mecha operators if a standard ace mecha clan was to battle with a t.i.tled ace mecha clan. This was the difference between the two.
"Does our Base 013 get looked down on that much? It"s still the same even though we switched to being under the 23rd Division?" Some sighed softly.
"Who knows. Maybe our base"s commanding officer has been unlucky recently." No one knew who said it, but everyone agreed with the statement.
At that moment, the commanding officer of the base, Senior Colonel Dong Yuanzhong, was suffering a headache. Not only did he know that the ace mecha clan that was sent there was just a standard one, he also knew this standard clan greatly lacked personnel. The total was around 600 people which was not even comparable to mecha clan that had a full 5000 members. Also, there were only 200 or so mecha operators within the clan. It wasn"t big enough to be considered a clan. It also wasn"t even big enough to be considered a battalion and was more like a team instead.
However, since they were a clan, he must give them a place to stay. It was just that there was only one location that could be used. It was where the ace mecha clan from before had stayed a year ago. It wasn"t because Dong Yuanzhong didn"t want to give it to them, but it was because the location was right beside the Evil Wind Mecha Team.
Evil Wind Mecha Team was mecha team that grew within the base. These mecha operators had all stood on this battlefield and slowly evolved from a low-level mecha operator to an ace mecha operator. They all grew up in an ocean of blood. Some of them might not have the finger dexterity of an ace mecha operator, disallowing them from being one, but their attack power was much greater when compared to ace mecha operators that had just advanced.
Perhaps they couldn"t perform the high-level techniques written in textbooks, but they operated their mechas with one belief and that was to kill! It was all simple and with the most basic techniques. However, even though each move was simple, they were all sure-kill techniques.
Their average talent force them to fight for their lives for each breakthrough. Their b.l.o.o.d.y advancement method and savage attack techniques made them look down on those who learned from the academy. In their eyes, academy mecha operators were all softies who couldn"t walk the walk but could just talk the talk. Even t.i.tled ace mecha operators didn"t wow them too much. That was because in a real battle, no one knows who would die and who would live.
The mecha operators in the Evil Wind Mecha Team were this type of existence. Even the ace mecha clan"s regiment commander that used to stay in Base 013 tolerated the numerous provocations made by the team leader of the Evil Wind Mecha Team. It was because he wasn"t sure if he could defeat them.
The t.i.tle Evil Wind wasn"t its official t.i.tle. It was instead given by the Evil Wind Mecha Team"s team leader. With the t.i.tle of evil wind, it meant that they were all mecha operators who developed on the battlefield and were all demons.
After 250 Ace Mecha Clan move into their new camp, Evil Wind Mecha Team would definitely provoke them just like they had with the previous ace mecha clan. Dong Yuanzhong was hesitant, but thought that if he didn"t arrange a place for them, it would be his fault. If word of this were to get out, he might be in a lot of trouble…
After thinking about it, Dong Yuanzhong made a decision. He told the logistics division to arrange for 250 Ace Mecha Clan stay at area 38 which had been empty for more than a year.
"They"re here! They"re here! The ace mecha clan is here!" The staff member responsible for the surveillance of Base 013 suddenly shouted. He saw a large group of people appearing on the surveillance monitor.
His colleague looked over his shoulder and saw around 400 mechas guarding the group from the air. These mechas included advanced mechas along with around 300 transport trucks. He was really confusion, "Isn"t that a transport team?" He didn"t see even one ace mecha.
"Do you not see those trucks?" The staff member who shouted in the beginning couldn"t help but roll his eyes at his colleague. If it wasn"t because he had seen a lot of those trucks before, he would not have noticed either.
Right then, the cloth that covered one of the trucks had a corner lifted up by the wind and showed a part of an ace mecha.
"Sh*t, it"s actually ace mechas!" He remembered that the first ace mecha clan that came had all ace mechas. Only logistics personnel sat in hovers trucks and came with the transport trucks. How can this ace mecha clan be so odd that their ace mecha operators didn"t pilot the mechas while those who piloted mechas were only a few advanced mecha operators?
"But, the number of them is quite small, right?" Another staff member counted and only saw around 200 ace mechas. "Are the ace operators piloting ace mechas behind them? And these mechas on the transport trucks were shipped here because their mecha operators were not here because they were busy?"
"Who cares, we still need to report this to the base"s JMC. We have to tell them to prepare to take in the convoy as soon as possible." The staff member that saw the large group contacted the base"s JMC as soon as he finished speaking…
