He quickly ordered his team members, “We"re retreating!”
“You"re not getting away that easily!” A cold roar rang from the air, and an ace mecha instantly appeared before them .
“Qiao Ting!” exclaimed the captain with a gloomy expression .
“I didn"t think that the battle team attacking other a.s.sault teams was from the Third Men"s Military Academy . You guys really had a good idea and even believed that you could put the blame on us, the First Men"s Military Academy!” Qiao Ting laughed coldly and said .
“If I said that we stumbled on this situation, would you believe us?” interrupted the Third Men"s Military Academy"s captain as he bit his lip . When he had taken his battle team to where the battle had taken place, they were already made the primary suspects… However, he still wanted to try his best to clarify because this really had nothing to do with them . The blame was too unjust and frustrating .
Of course, Qiao Ting believed him . He clearly knew who the real culprits were, but right then he needed to throw the blame onto the opponent; thus, he smiled coldly and said, “Then do you think I should believe you or not?”
The captain was silent for a few seconds . In the end, he helplessly sighed and said, “No!” He laughed bitterly and continued, “But even if you don"t believe me, I will still say that the Third Men"s Military Academy has no connection to this . ”
“Do you think that just saying you guys have no connection to all this can erase the fact that you guys may have done this?” A voice sounded from behind him . The captain looked back and saw that during the conversation between him and Qiao Ting, many battle teams of other military academies had already surrounded them .
The captain saw this situation and was extremely frustrated . He shouldn"t have used his time to talk to Qiao Ting and try to explain the truth; he should have covered for his teammates as they left this area when Qiao Ting had come to them . Now, his fatal mistake had landed him and his team in a dangerous situation . If would not be easy for them to leave now .
“Then what do you guys want?” the captain asked, biting his lips .
“You guys trapped and harmed our team members . You want us to just let you go? No way!” said a member of one of the military academies that were attacked .
Hearing that, the expression of the Third Men"s Military Academy"s captain changed instantly . “This wasn"t done by us . I hope you guys can give us some time to prove our innocence . ”
These words instead made everyone who was present laugh coldly . Their att.i.tude clearly showed their firm belief in them being the culprits . The captain of the Third Men"s Military Academy felt his heart drop into his stomach . He knew that this time it was impossible to escape .
Right then, these military academy"s battle teams were no longer interested in hearing the Third Men"s Military Academy"s empty and weak explanation . One of the military academies" battle team leader apologetically said to Qiao Ting, “Captain Qiao, we made a mistake before and thought it was you guys . Please forgive us . ”
Qiao Ting coldly replied, “Our headquarters still need me to defend . Since I"ve been cleared of my innocence, please allow me to bid farewell . ” Before other party could say anything, he turned towards his team members and ordered, “Let"s go!”
Qiao Ting led his 24-man battle team and instantly left the area, appearing like he was deeply angry with the fact that these military academies thought he was the main culprit .
One military academy"s captain saw this and could not suppress a sigh, saying, “We were too impulsive . We interrogated Captain Qiao before finding out the truth about the situation… It"s no wonder Captain Qiao is angry!”
“I hope Captain Qiao won"t have any opinions about us because of this issue,” one battle team member said worriedly . In the end, if Captain Qiao intended on teaching them a lesson and let the First Men"s Military Academy"s battle team attack their headquarters…
Everyone shuddered in fear at this thought . They all decided to resolve the issue of the Third Men"s Military Academy and afterward find Qiao Ting to explain their thoughts . Even if they couldn"t form an alliance, they didn"t want Qiao Ting to think of taking revenge against them and in the end, become the target of their attack .
Qiao Ting"s departure caused these military academies" alliances to have reservations . This, however, made the Third Men"s Military Academy"s captain surprised and happy . If Qiao Ting was present, they would have had no chance of escaping, but now there was a slim chance .
At the moment Qiao Ting left, along with how the battle teams that surrounded them relaxed, the captain quickly yelled, “Run!”
He was the first to operate his mecha towards the escape route that he had already found . All the members of the Third Men"s Military Academy were very experienced mecha operators . After the captain gave the order, they all operated their mecha and followed in the direction the captain had charged towards .
With two hundred or so mechas around them, if they were to scatter, they would be taken down in one hit . Instead, it would be better if they followed their captain in becoming a sharp, pointed knife and cutting open an opening, allowing them to escape successfully .
The Third Men"s Military Academy was without a doubt the best . The captain of the Third Men"s Military Academy was a top tier special-cla.s.s operator . He lifted up the large sword in his hand . One backward spin caused the two mecha in front of him to dodge to the side . In the instant that they dodged, he operated his mecha and broke through the encirclement .
Following him were the three mecha that had reacted the fastest and broke through the encirclement with their captain . However, their good luck was only for the four of them . The others were cut off by the military academy alliance battle teams who had reacted .
The area instantly had beams of light flying around, mechas dancing about and cold weapons clashing hard against one another . Some were trying their best to find a chance to escape, while others were trying to mercilessly destroy that hope and keep those who were trying to escape in this area . They fought admirably for their beliefs . They couldn"t back down and also couldn"t give up anything . In this situation, the battle became more and more brutal .
Very quickly, mecha dropped down onto the ground one after another . These were the mecha operators who lost their battles and were eliminated from the battle royale . In the end, not one of the 20 mecha escaped . And on the side of the military academy alliance, 5 mechas were shot down and were eliminated . 13 other mecha also paid a price in suffering damage .
Three kilometers away from the battle, Qiao Ting operated his mecha to hover in mid-air, carefully watching the intense battle that was going on over on the other side . The corner of his mouth perked up a bit with a smile . The battle between the Third Men"s Military Academy and the military academy alliance made them all suffer losses . This announced that Area S and P officially entered into the battle royale period . It was a good time for them to profit from all the chaos .
“Boss Qiao, do we want to keep the few that escaped alive?” reminded Qiao Ting"s vice captain . The direction in which they had escaped was towards them . If they wanted to block them off, they would definitely be able to take down the fish that slipped through the net .
“Let"s take a look for now . ” Qiao Ting stopped his team members from acting rashly .
The captain of the Third Men"s Military Academy led the three team members who were lucky enough to escape and ran as fast they could . They were about to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that there weren"t anyone chasing them down when they saw countless mecha appear in front of them . The one leading them was Qiao Ting, who had just left the scene moments before .
The captain"s expression changed instantly . “You"re going to add insult to injury?”
Qiao Ting looked at him indifferently . “Do you and I have any conflict or interests?”
The captain"s eyes lit up . “Of course we don"t . If Captain Qiao is willing to show mercy, I will report this to our commander and maybe we could have a chance to cooperate . ”
“Cooperate?” Qiao Ting laughed coldly . “Can those who are proficient in evil schemes and plans be trusted?”
The captain"s expression turned serious and he said without hesitation, “I will give Captain Qiao an answer for this . ” If he found out who f***ed them in the back, he would tear them to shreds .
Qiao Ting immediately waved his hand . The members who were originally blocking their way moved aside and created an opening .
The captain gratefully cupped his hands towards Qiao Ting and rapidly led his team to go through that opening .
“We"re letting them go just like that?” After getting a taste of sweetness from sneak attacks, the vice captain felt reluctance as he watched the four mecha that were almost out of sight . It was a shame they couldn"t take them down .
“Keeping them alive and letting them return could perhaps have an effect that we didn"t foresee… Maybe we can still use the Third Men"s Military Academy once more . ” Qiao Ting had a plan in his mind . The curve at the corner of his mouth became more p.r.o.nounced .
He originally thought that Ling Lan had given him this mission to make it difficult for him . When he took on the mission, he almost had a fallout with Ling Lan . However, this mission was definitely unable to be completed by the small 24-man team . Even as an ace operator, he would not be able to do it .
However, Qiao Ting had his own pride . He didn"t want to give Ling Lan a chance to look down on him . That was why he put up with it and took the mission, and prepared to put all of his efforts through . Even if he didn"t finish the mission, he would try his best to draw out the time and support the others until the end of the battle royale .
However, after today"s scene, the whole situation had completely turned around . Originally being in a precarious situation, they instantly had the chance to grab hold of the entire situation . No matter if it was the military academy alliance or the Third Men"s Military Academy, they would try their best to get close to them both . This gave Qiao Ting leeway to strategize . He created an even better condition for their own battle team to finish their mission .
He really had underestimated Ling Lan . Ling Lan wasn"t someone who would be jealous of those who had skills and give them a mission that was seemingly impossible . In reality, he had it planned all along . Who knew that he was able to make the Third Men"s Military Academy become their scapegoat . This move of his was f***ing amazing .
After being amazed, Qiao Ting"s fear of Ling Lan became even deeper . The more he came to know about Ling Lan, the more he felt that Ling Lan"s ability was unfathomable… It was a good thing that his mecha operating abilities were already set in stone without a chance to progress further, or else he would definitely not eat and sleep well knowing that there was such a strong rival close to him . It would give him a feeling of why G.o.d made him so excellent, but then made someone who was perfect… After thinking about this point, Qiao Ting could not help but be a bit happy .
“Let"s go!” Since everything was now resolved, he only needed to patiently wait . He was going to wait to see which one out of the military academy alliance or the Third Men"s Military Academy would give him the most benefits . Then it would be the time he moved out .
Just like that, Qiao Ting led his team members and returned to Area S9 . Area S9 had now been confirmed because of Qiao Ting . The two military academies in the adjacent areas now believed Area S9 was the First Men"s Military Academy"s headquarters .
The referees and military officers in the monitoring were stupefied after seeing the First Men"s Military Academy"s move . Were these guys really military academy students? They were just like experienced army soldiers who had gone into battle hundreds of times .
“Finding a scapegoat, sh*t . This move made by the First Men"s Military Academy is pretty nasty . This way the Third Men"s Military Academy has become an insignificant rat on the streets . ” One of the officers who seemed to have connections with the Third Men"s Military Academy shook his head and laughed bitterly . The Third Men"s Military Academy was exiled by all the other military academies . In the times to follow, they would not have a good time .
“Ah, all their moves are inter-connected . ” He Xuyang was silently praising this move . As onlookers, they saw everything more clearly than the students who were partic.i.p.ating in the battle royale .
