Chapter 1267 The Hidden Faction!
Ling Lan, Li Lanfeng, Xie Yi and Luo Lang flew at top speed in the depth of s.p.a.ce. If it wasn’t for their radars directing them where to go, they would have been lost in this endless s.p.a.ce.
“Stop!” After returning to consciousness, she suddenly stopped her mecha from flying forward. Li Lanfeng and the others stopped at the same time. They created a triangular formation with Ling Lan protected in the middle. The beam guns in their hands were pointed towards the dark and vast void all around them.
“Change the radar’s vibrational frequency,” ordered Ling Lan.
When the four of them changed the vibrational frequency of their radars, they discovered that the originally calm and silent rader, actually had small dots of light jumping around in it. If they didn’t stop just then and had just kept flying at top speed, they would instantly fall into the trap of the opposition.
Seeing Ling Lan’s group of four stopping, the opposition knew that they had seen through their ambush. Not long after, they stopped hiding in the shadows and quickly moved towards Ling Lan’s group.
“There’s actually people ambus.h.i.+ng us here. F*ck. Do those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from Twilight actually think that taking us down would help them save their dying nation?” Seeing this, Xie Yi couldn’t help but swear loudly.
After being chased and ambushed, even those who had the best self-control and manners wouldn’t be able to control themselves. They would need to shout and swear to get rid of the negative emotions they had in their minds.
“You’re too full of yourself. The opposition made so many plans not for us, but for General Ling Xiao. Taking down General Ling Xiao would indeed allow Twilight to turn the tide around. As for us, we just so happened to be the best bait,” said Li Lanfeng calmly.
After the appearances of many G.o.d-cla.s.s operators and Caesar’s Monarch Fury, he knew there were many plans laid and interlinked with each other. Bringing together the top-level forces of each nation only for one Ling Xiao.
“They planned it perfectly. I now suspect there’s a higher-up in the Federation’s military headquarters cooperating with them,” said Ling Lan as she endured the immense pain in her body. Ever since the military headquarters gave out the orders, the opposition calculated everything perfectly. This couldn’t be done just by one single spy. There was someone in the Federation who wanted to take out Ling Xiao and she was just here by accident.
“Fight?” Luo Lang clenched the control stick in his hand and asked with a serious look on his face.
What was ahead of them was probably only fighting. They didn’t have any other way to go about it.
If they retreat, they would return to where General Ling Xiao was at. Ling Xiao was fighting a one versus three, and one of them was Monarch Fury who had reached the profound G.o.d-cla.s.s. The situation was definitely not going well. If these people were to join forces with the three over there, not only them, but also General Ling Xiao, would not be able to return alive.
“Try our best to drag the battle on. Reinforcements are on their way.” Ling Lan received Little Four’s message and knew the 7th Bugle Call was coming to them.
“Yes, sir!” After the three of them took their orders, the opposition had already arrived at their beam guns’ ranges. They shot their beam guns towards the 20 or so mechas that were coming their way.
“The outside appearance of these mechas seem to be quite special. In my memory, there doesn’t seem to be any nation that uses this type of mecha.” After shooting out many beams of light, Li Lanfeng could clearly see the appearances of the mechas on his screen.
“I also have never seen them before,” said Xie Yi.
“Anyways, they’re still our enemies.” Luo Lang unsheathed the large sword on his back, piloted his mecha and rushed towards them. Although Luo Lang was good with long-range techniques, he was still stronger in close combat. Thus, after seeing the opposition appear in their attack range, he decisively went towards them.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Xie Yi’s consecutive attacks sent one mecha flying. He then turned around and said, “These mecha operators are stronger than ace operators, but they’re not actually imperial operators.”
“Their mechas aren’t the standard too. They’re probably modified mechas,” added Li Lanfeng as he pushed back one mecha.
“Are they pseudo imperial operators?” Luo Lang kicked aside one mecha and asked. Without the calm personality’s control, Luo Lang wasn’t an expert a.n.a.lyst. He was only responsible for fighting.
“They don’t seem like it,” Li Lanfeng and Xie Yi responded simultaneously.
“Commander, I feel it is them,” Li Lanfeng suddenly said to Ling Lan.
“It’s probably them.” Ling Lan frowned. “Other than the nations who benefit from this war, some hidden factions also involved themselves in this mess. The Twilight Empire is indeed a good battlefield for everyone.”
“We’re lucky that they’re only powered up ace operators. Otherwise, if there were actually 20 or so imperial operators, we wouldn’t even last one minute,” said Xie Yi joyfully.
“Don’t be too happy just yet. If our reinforcements don’t get here on time, we will have to fight for our lives in a moment,” reminded Li Lanfeng.
Although these mecha operators were weaker than them, their numbers were still enough to pressure them into a corner. Plus, they had just advanced into imperial operators. No matter if it was their body’s physical endurance or spiritual power’s endurance, they couldn’t hold out for too long.
Right at that moment, a large mecha slowly moved closer towards them. This mecha had its outer appearance disguised. It was hard to distinguish the structure of the mecha. However, the modifications on the mecha were similar to the current type of mecha Ling Lan was piloting
Ling Lan felt a cold jolt on her back. She looked towards the direction the mecha appeared from and then had a huge change in expression. “Retreat!”
Almost simultaneously, Li Lanfeng, Luo Lang and Xie Yi all pushed back the mechas they were fighting against and dashed to where Ling Lan was.
“G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha.” Li Lanfeng saw the mecha and had a paling expression on his face. Why was there a G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha here? Despite disguising itself, the G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha was still a gigantic mecha. That showed its level and ident.i.ty.
“Run!” Ling Lan was the first to run towards one direction. The direction she went towards was slightly off of the direction they had come from. Even if she was in a life-or-death situation, Ling Lan didn’t want to bring danger to her father, Ling Xiao. She hoped to take the opposition as far away from Ling Xiao as possible.
As for Ling Xiao, who was originally fighting with Monarch Fury and the other two G.o.d-cla.s.s operators, he suddenly felt as if a hand was tightly gripping his heart. His expression changed slightly and his gigantic mecha disappeared from sight.
Monarch Fury frowned and snorted coldly, “Heh, you wanna run? In your dreams.”
“Chase.” After saying that, Monarch Fury’s mecha also disappeared from sight. Lord Yuangu and his companion followed suit and disappeared from sight as well.
“Little Seven, get here faster! Boss can’t hold out much longer.” Little Four saw Ling Lan was running for her life. Her body, that was almost on the brink of collapse, was injured by the backlash from the mecha once again. Little Four felt saddened by this fact.
Boss’s originally white unders.h.i.+rt was now completely blood red. This red color was slowly turning a darker shade. Little Four was worried that his Boss might bleed to death before Little Seven could get to them.
