Chapter 1133 The Main Battlefield!
Lingtian was done with all their battles. The rescue party had started searching for survivors. Even though the mecha operators had already searched the area once, the rescue party still looked around carefully. They must ensure that all the mecha operators were found, even if it was a corpse.
Their regiment commander had said that whether they were dead or alive, Lingtian would bring them back.
“Boss, there"s a signal from the base.” Little Four received a notification of a call from the base.
“Connect me.” To prevent any disturbance during the battle, Ling Lan asked Little Four to block all signals from the base. That way, she could say that she didn"t comprehend the situation clearly when she chose to annihilate the three mecha clans.
This was normal. During a mecha battle, any mistakes would cost you your life. Who would care about the results of the battle then. A mecha operator only cared about the enemy in front of them. They had one thought: Kill them! They must kill the enemies around them in order to survive. Thus, mistakes in a.n.a.lyzing the situation always happened. Often, mecha operators only realized that one side was annihilated at the end of the battle.
The command center played an important role in preventing such a situation. They would give new orders to the mecha operators based on the situation of the battle. Ling Lan blocked the signal from the command center so that they wouldn"t be able to contact them and tell them to stop fighting as this would hinder her overall plan.
After the call came through, Yu Huan said, “Regiment Commander Ling, congratulations on your huge win.”
“Go straight to the point.” After the good news, the bad news would come. Ling Lan knew that something had happened the moment Yu Huan opened his mouth.
“We"re having trouble in the main battlefield. Can Lingtian provide help?” Yu Huan asked carefully. Lingtian had just finished two battles, and both battles were hard-fought. One battle was against the powerful Knight Ace Mecha Clan while the other battle was against twice as many mecha operators. By right, they should go back to their camping ground for some rest. A tired mecha operator had a much higher death rate on the battlefield as their mecha piloting ability would decrease.
Ling Lan frowned. “What"s the situation?”
“Caesar has unleashed their entire army on us. Our ejection speed can"t catch up with them.” Although they had reinforcements, there was only a finite number of launching ports in the base, and all the ports were already filled up. They couldn"t send their mechas out quickly to the battlefield. In terms of military strength, Caesar currently had the advantage. The mecha operators from the Federation had gathered together and started defending.
This was why Yu Huan still hoped that Lingtian could help even though they shouldn"t.
Yu Huan didn"t want to have a lost battle record on his resume especially after knowing how strong Lingtian was.
“Let me consider it. I"ll give you a reply soon.” Ling Lan hung up immediately.
Yu Huan sighed. He could only hope that Ling Lan would give him good news.
Ling Lan thought for a while and asked Little Four to contact Li Shiyu. She asked, “How long will the medication last?”
“At most ten minutes.” Li Shiyu looked at the time on his communicator and replied after making a thorough estimate.
“It"s enough.” Ling Lan hung up.
Then, she pressed the team channel. “Do you still have the energy to fight?”
All the mecha operators stopped what they were doing and shouted excitedly, “Yes!”
The continuous fighting had made them hot-blooded. The effects of the forbidden medicine hadn"t pa.s.sed too so they were full of energy. They didn"t feel tired at all. They were dying to fight even more.
“Good. Our new target is the main battlefield. I"ll give you eight minutes. After eight minutes, we"ll retreat no matter what the results are,” Ling Lan announced her plan.
Ling Lan knew that if Li Shiyu said the medicine would lose effect in 10 minutes, it would lose its effect in ten minutes, but she wouldn"t use the entire ten minutes. She left two minutes for any emergency situations.
Ling Lan would always be careful when there was a need to, especially on the battlefield where anything could happen, Ling Lan was even more careful if that was the case.
Soon, the sound of engines revving were heard. Around 1500 mecha operators rushed to the main battlefield under the lead of their leaders.
“Little Four, how long will they take to arrive?” Ling Lan asked as she looked at the mecha operators flying off.
“Based on their current speeds, they"ll arrive in 63.23 seconds.”
Ling Lan instantly contacted Yu Huan. “Major General Yu, we"ll arrive in 60 seconds.”
After she finished speaking, she hung up without caring about Yu Huan"s reply.
Yu Huan was stunned for a moment. Soon, happiness appeared on his face. He immediately contacted the main battlefield and gave his order.
“The command center is crazy.” The regiment commanders of the mecha clans who were fighting furiously on the battlefield started cursing when they heard this command.
Retaliate? What were they supposed to use for retaliation? Couldn"t they tell how tired they were?
“Why can"t we wait for the reinforcements to come before we retaliate?” One of the regiment commanders slammed his control panel angrily.
He accidently pressed a b.u.t.ton to turn on the siren of his mecha. He was shocked, but he still quickly stabilised his mecha.
Fortunately, he was behind the line of defense and was in charge of commanding. If not, this mistake would have cost his life.
However, this mistake allowed him to notice the red countdown timer that appeared on his screen.
“F**k, when did the mainframe of the base become so smart?” Every mecha has its own mainframe. The mainframe of the base shouldn"t be able to control the mecha unless the mecha operator allowed it to and yet, a timer appeared on his screen.
All the regiment commanders were dumbfounded too. Just as they were feeling puzzled, they saw a bunch of mechas appearing on the left side of the battlefield. It was closing in on them.
“F**k, did our enemies return?” They still remembered that not long ago, Caesar sent two mecha clans away from the main battlefield. They knew that these mecha operators were up to no good but they couldn"t stop them from leaving.
Now, a bunch of mechas appeared from the direction where those mechas left. This made them think that the mecha operators from Caesar had returned.
“No, wait. Those are not Caesar"s mechas. Those are our mechas.” In the blink of an eye, the mechas appeared before them. They could see clearly that these were mechas from the Federation.
