Chapter 1129 Unfortunate!
The most reasonable explanation was that this mecha clan had its t.i.tle changed when it was close to reaching legendary mecha clan status. It also took imperial operators who hid their abilities from different clans to increase the fighting potential of the mecha clan. Thus, it could be explained that it wasn"t a legendary mecha clan when it formed, but yet it had the strength of a legendary mecha clan.
The Federation"s military was playing a long game and Lingtian Mecha Clan was this game"s most important piece.
Yu Huan"s body shook and his eyes brightened. If that was the case, then he must cooperate with them to the best of his abilities. Base Nebula would definitely become Lingtian"s strongest shield.
Ling Lan didn"t know that Yu Huan had made such an odd connection to all the information available to him. She just wanted to let the new recruits get blood on their hands and prompt their ruthlessness and merciless behaviors. The Federation"s military also didn"t expect that Yu Huan would think of it like that when all they wanted to do was to make it difficult for Ling Xiao and Ling Lan by giving them an annoying order.
It had to be said that Ling Lan was very lucky. Every time she made a mess of things, it was either her father cleaning up after her or someone who didn"t know the truth and used their own imagination and in the end actively helping her out.
Plus, Ling Lan made the ruthless decision because she wasn"t aware she needed to abide by the rules of the Humanitarian Act.
The only battle she experienced was the battle on Planet Haijiao where such rules didn"t apply. That was because Hailiya had already became enemies with the Federation because of the debate of who Planet Haijiao belonged to. In that way, abiding to the rules of the Humanitarian Act would depend on the commanders in the battle. If they were in a good mood, they would abide by it and they would pretend it didn"t exist if they were in a bad mood. When Ling Lan entered the battle on Planet Haijiao, her luck was in the negatives. She encountered Hailiya"s long planned out plot of sending out a full frontal attack to completely take over Planet Haijiao. In order to achieve victory as fast as possible, a battle like that wouldn"t abide to such rules.
After experiencing countless times of battles to the death, Ling Lan a.s.sumed all battlefields were like this where one side perishes and the other side lives. The so-called Humanitarian Act was only just used to hide the truth from common citizens.
Little Four, also as an outsider, had received records from the Mandora Star System. The records from the Mandora Star System also showed that during the battle between two parties, it was a battle to the death with no surrenders.
As General Ling Xiao, who should have been responsible for teaching his daughter common knowledge about the battlefield, thought Ling Lan knew and understood everything
It couldn"t be helped. Ling Lan was too independent which made Ling Xiao believe that such a small thing didn"t need his teaching. Plus, he had never thought his daughter was fond of killing. In Ling Xiao"s mind, his daughter would forever be a cute little princess. The adjective ‘merciless" didn"t have any connections with his daughter.
As for the leaders working under Ling Lan… they knew that Boss"s real personality was merciless. Of course, they wouldn"t look for punishment themselves and remind Boss that mercilessness in this situation was wrong. Even if someone was brave enough to remind her, it still wouldn"t do anything. If it didn"t do anything, then why would they go do something that yielded nothing. They would rather follow Boss and sharpen their blades to slaughter livestock.
Lingtian"s group of individuals seemed to evolve into merciless individuals under Ling Lan"s unconscious teachings. It forced them to have to be merciless in order to fit in.
Lingtian"s ambush forced Caesar"s two mecha clans unable to respond in time. However, these two mecha clans were after all not like standard mechas or mecha clan with new recruits where it was their first time on a battlefield. After a short while of panic, their team leaders finally managed to gather a portion of their forces and began retaliating with Lingtian"s mecha operators.
Although Lingtian"s ambush from the beginning had caused the two mecha clans to lose much of their forces, their numbers were still more than twice as many as Lingtian.
“We have more people than them. Everyone stop panicking and victory will be ours.” Caesar"s leaders noticed the number of mecha on Lingtian"s side and immediately tried to boost the morale of their team members.
These words to boost morale were without a doubt effective. A battle in outer s.p.a.ce was often won through the shear numbers of mechas. When these mecha operators saw that there weren"t many mecha operators who had ambushed them, they instantly calmed down. Once they calmed down, their piloting skills instantly recovered to their normal state. Caesar"s mecha operators began to perform to their actual capabilities and clashed with the mecha operators from Lingtian who were chasing them.
Doren saw this and his expression changed for the better. When he fell into the trap and ambushed, he had thought that they had entered the Federation"s encirclement and it was all lost. He didn"t expect that it was just a small group of mecha operators ambushing them. As long as they calmed down and fought normally, they would have a chance of turning the tide.
Compared to Doren"s excitement, Roland"s expression didn"t change at all and was still pale as a white sheet.
“Doren!” He suddenly shouted, “Let"s run.”
“Huh?” Doren was dumbfounded. He didn"t know why Roland would choose to run after knowing the opposition had way fewer people than they did. Wasn"t retreating making Caesar look bad? It should be known that in the past few years the Federation had always just watched as they escaped.
“Knight Ace Mecha Clan! Did you forget what happened to Knight Ace Mecha Clan!” Roland"s voice broke as he shouted out in fear, “Run, everyone run.”
These mechas from the Federation showed traces of being in a battle. Some mecha even lost an arm or leg. These were all indications that these mecha operators from the Federation had just fought a fierce battle. Knight Ace Mecha Clan lost here, so that meant the mecha operators who killed them were these mecha operators standing before them.
In addition to their sudden appearance, they were also definitely equipped with the high cost and difficult to create chameleon system, and all of the mechas had this system. What did that mean? It meant that these mecha operators were the strongest in the Federation, otherwise the Federation wouldn"t waste such money and resources on them.
Additionally, these mecha operators were able to calmly stand their ground after taking out Knight Ace Mecha Clan and ambush them with numbers fewer than them by half.
They weren"t idiots and also weren"t insane. They were so daring because they definitely knew they would be victorious.
There was also something else. Their numbers were indeed more than the opposition, but could their piloting skills be compared to Knight Ace Mecha Clan? These people had already taken out such a strong mecha clan like Knight Ace Mecha Clan. Why would it be any difficult for them to take out mecha operators who were less capable than those from Knight Ace Mecha Clan?
After Roland shouted, his fingers began to dance around furiously. In the face of life and death, the speed of his fingers broke through his original limit. His mecha"s engine roared and he retreated up without hesitation. He was lucky that he was somewhat cautious and stayed in the back all this time, so he still had a chance to escape before the opposition completely trapped them.
“Hmm? There"s actually someone who"s smart?” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows as she looked towards the s.p.a.ce in front of her.
“Unfortunately, I don"t want Caesar to know details about us just yet.” Ling Lan"s left hand went towards her back and a long range beam sniper rifle appeared in it. She pointed it towards the escaping mecha and activated her Profound Insight Domain automatically.
“There.” Her Profound Insight was too strong. Only one look was enough to allow her to see where she should aim.
Bang! A blinding white light shot out from the barrel, creating a straight white line as if it was going to split apart the very fabric of the dark outer s.p.a.ce itself.
