Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The battle in Area G13 finally reached its end when Mu Shaoyu took down one special-class operator with a suicide attack. The whole of Area G13 was now a desolate wasteland; countless trees on the ground had been pulled up from their roots, and the fireballs that fell into them had accidentally set ablaze some easily flammable bushes. The smoke from the flames rose and engulfed the entirety of Area G13.

In the midst of the blaze, the scene of countless mecha dropping from the sky could be clearly seen. From a bird’s-eye view, it seemed as though Area G13 was littered with mecha, and this showed just how brutal the battle had been.

There were only three special-class mechas hovering about in the air. When they looked at the countless mecha below them that were all eliminated, they were all silently happy that they weren’t among them.

They didn’t stop and quickly flew towards their destination, Area G17.

Right then, one mecha operator of the Second Men’s Military Academy, who had been watching Lin Xiao and Jiang Shaoyu’s battle, suddenly operated his mecha to fly towards the center of the headquarters.

This unprecedented scene surprised those who were watching them closely. Right when they were going to move their mecha to intercept, the Second Men’s Military Academy and their allied battle teams crazily attacked them. Being intercepted, they could only watch as that mecha left their encirclement.

“In your dreams!” Lin Xiao, who was in a heated battle with Jiang Shaoyu, saw this scene and suddenly jumped backwards. He lifted up his beam gun and shot out a beam of light towards that mecha.

The beam quickly shot towards the backside of that mecha, but right then, another beam appeared to intercept Lin Xiao’s attack in a timely manner.

“Jiang Shaoyu!” Lin Xiao yelled while biting his lip. If the First Men’s Military Academy’s headquarters was taken down, how could he face Ling Lan as an alliance member?

“The First Men’s Military Academy has run out of soldiers. As long as I keep you here, no one will be able to save the First Men’s Military Academy. Even though the three of you guys formed an alliance, the First Men’s Military Academy still belongs to the Second Men’s Military Academy. In the future, Lin Xiao, you should make sure to find better allies. Hahaha!” Jiang Shaoyu laughed hysterically. It was as though he had already seen himself walking up to the top of the victory stage.

Han Jijyun was very far away from the battlefield in Area G17 because his mecha’s level was on the low side(advanced mecha). No matter if it was Lin Xiao’s men or Jiang Shaoyu’s men, they were all special-class operators. If he were to join the fray, he wouldn’t be able to help and would have to worry about Jiang Shaoyu’s men sneaking up on him.

At that moment, he saw one mecha from the Second Men’s Military Academy come out of the encirclement. He didn’t even think before darting towards it. He wanted to try to intercept the opponent so that the First Co-ed Military Academy could arrive in time.

Unfortunately, this mecha operator’s goal was very clear; how could he let Han Jijyun slow him down? He performed a simple 360 degree turn and passed around Han Jijyun, while the latter watched as that mecha flew further and further away from him.

Han Jijyun wasn’t going to give up. He bit his lip and gave chase. Lin Xiao’s men had also come to chase but they were blocked off by Jiang Shaoyu’s men. Now with one less mecha on Lin Xiao’s side, Jiang Shaoyu’s men could still block off Lin Xiao’s men. This was the decision and plan thought out by Jiang Shaoyu after careful and detailed thinking. Now it looked like he had succeeded.

At that moment, in the center of the headquarters, Chang Xinyuan’s team was almost done getting ready for battle.

“Captain, 3 mecha have reached the center area from the southwest direction! I’m certain they are attackers from the opposing alliance.” The member who was responsible for surveying the air above them saw that three red dots appeared on the mecha’s radar and immediately reported it to Chang Xinyuan.

Right when wanted to give an order, the patrol member yelled out, “Captain, another mecha has appeared from the southeast direction!”

“Zoom in and see if it’s a friend or foe.” The southeast was Jiang Shaoyu and Lin Xiao’s battlefield.

The member immediately zoomed in and clearly saw the logo on the opponent’s chest plate. “It’s the Second Men’s Military Academy!” Right when he said that, another member yelled out, “There’s another mecha... it’s Strategist Han’s!”

Chang Xinyuan’s expression was cold. “Looks like that mecha managed to get out of the encirclement. Sh*t. We’ll ignore him for now. Our priority is to take down the three mecha from the southwest direction. All members, move out!” The attack he had planned could only be effective once; thus, Chang Xinyuan naturally chose to target the three special-class mechas.

“Yes, Captain!” Six mecha had been fiddling with their rocket launchers in the central area, but upon hearing Chang Xinyuan’s orders, they all began to move about. They operated their mecha and moved to the locations drawn on the map. They set up the rocket launchers towards the sky according to the direction and angle written on the map.

At that moment, the member responsible for monitoring shed droplets of sweat which trickled down his forehead. Whether the attack would be effective or not would depend on the accuracy of his monitoring on the enemies’ location and the timing of the attack.

“Coordinates: XX.XX. Prepare!” After seeing that the opponents had almost reached the coordinates of their attacks, he immediately gave an order.

The six mecha operators all held the trigger of the rocket launcherswith their finger, waiting for the last call to fire, at which they would pull on the trigger and fire the rockets they had prepared beforehand.

“Fire!” Seeing that the opponents had reached their attack coordinates, the monitoring member screamed out the call to attack. The six members decisively pulled down on the trigger...

Six rockets shot up into the sky and followed the trajectory and angle based on the plan. At that moment, the three mecha, unaware of all this, had entered the trajectory of these six rockets. It was as though the three mecha were willingly ramming into the rockets.

Right when the three mecha had reached the designated location, their mechas’ A.I.s sounded a loud warning sound, “Dodge! Dodge! Dodge!”

Right when they wanted to operate their mecha to dodge the rockets, they discovered that they had nowhere to dodge to—the six rockets had blocked off all possible routes of evasion. In the blink of an eye, the six rockets hit the three mecha and exploded, making these mechas plummet into the ground head first.

“Yes!” Seeing that the attack was a success, everyone all screamed out in excitement.

“Dodge!” Chang Xinyuan screamed. It turned out that after their rockets attack was successful, the mecha coming from the southeast had sighted them and fired his beam gun.

Perhaps they had become too excited, or perhaps the opponent’s attack was too sudden; two of their mecha were quickly shot down and eliminated. Chang Xinyuan quickly turned on the engine of his mecha and pounced in the opponent’s direction...

Right when that mecha wanted to continue attacking, he saw another advanced mecha moving towards him with a death wish. He coldly snorted, didn’t even dodge and moved his mecha away as that mecha was about to crash into him..

The outer shell of an advanced mecha was not comparable in toughness to that of a special-class mecha. It didn’t matter whether the opponent dodged or not; the advantage was on his side, but it was just that he had miscalculated. Perhaps other advanced mecha were definitely less tough than special-class mecha, but Chang Xinyuan’s mecha was different. In order to make sure of his safety during the battle, he had modified his mecha’s outer shell to be as strong as a tortoise shell. Even if he bumped into a special-class mecha, Chang Xinyuan was confident that he wouldn’t lose to the opponent.

It was this confidence that allowed Chang Xinyuan crash into the opponent without a care in the world. When they finally collided into each other, that special-class operator knew that his opponent really had a death wish and wanted to crash into him.

“Boom.” A loud crash sounded out and the two mecha crashed into each other with great force! The special-class operator thought that the opposing mecha would be damaged greatly from this. However, he didn’t expect that the opposing mecha didn’t have a single scratch. Instead, after this crash, the originally damaged areas of his mecha had become more severe.

Seeing that crashing into him had an effect, Chang Xinyuan was overjoyed. Once again, he ruthlessly moved his mecha towards his opponent. Other than the tough outer shell of his mecha, Chang Xinyuan really didn’t have any other way of intercepting this special-class operator.

Having learnt his lesson, the special-class operator wasn’t going to fall for the same trick twice; he operated his mecha to dodge. The difference between advanced mecha and special-class mecha was put on display at this moment. Although Chang Xinyuan had used all he could to compensate for his speed, he was still slower by one level compared to the opponent.

“Bang!” A slash from a beam saber came from behind. The special-class operator was greatly surprised and immediately operated his mecha to dodge. Then he discovered that Han Jijyun, who had been following him from behind, had arrived...

“Strategist Han, let’s team up and take him down.” Chang Xinyuan saw that Han Jijyun had arrived and calmed down. Han Jijyun also had the same thought. Right when the two of them wanted to team up and take down the opponent, that special-class operator turned around and ran.

The special-class operator knew clearly that he couldn’t be slowed down by the other party. He didn’t know how long his commander would be able to slow down Lin Xiao and his men; he needed to quickly get to the center area of the First Men’s Military Academy and take down the headquarters.

Han Jijyun and Chang Xinyuan saw their opponent had run away, and they knew clearly what he was thinking. The two of them set the speed of their mecha to the maximum and gave chase. They had to stop the opponent from getting what he wanted.

In the midst of this chase, something that surprised them happened. The special-class operator that was immediately about to reach the center location suddenly dropped toward the ground.

The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. They were afraid that it was a trap and carefully landed their mecha on the ground. Chang Xinyuan’s was tougher, thus he went to examine the fallen mecha.

At the same time, the same thing happened where Lin Xiao was. The mecha of Jiang Shaoyu, who was fighting fiercely against him, dropped down...

“The mecha don’t have any reaction on their battery. It’s just like locked mechas that are eliminated,” Chang Xinyuan said to Han Jijyun after examining it.

Han Jijyun thought long and hard and suddenly his eyes lit up. “Do you think that it’s because Boss has already taken down the Second Men’s Military Academy?”

Chang Xinyuan’s eyes flickered. He quickly nodded and said, “That should be the reason. Otherwise, there’s no other way to explain why the Second Men’s Military Academy’s mecha suddenly dropped down and was eliminated.”

Right when they were in the middle of being overjoyed, Han Jijyun saws a short silhouette dart towards one of the tents in the center area.

“Sh*t!” Han Jijyun screamed out.

A mecha dropping didn’t mean that the mecha operator had “died”. He had actually forgotten to check the area. Han Jijyun quickly landed his mecha. The cockpit was opened abruptly and Han Jijyun darted into that tent with lightning speed.

Inside the tent, one mecha operator was standing in front of the receiver. He heard movement behind him and turned around. Seeing Han Jijyun, he immediately laughed and said, “I’m very lucky and you’re late!”

The opponent had already pushed down the button and was waiting for the signal to fully cover up the original signal, after which the First Men’s Military Academy’s headquarters would become their trophy. action

Han Jijyun felt his heart drop. He quickly pounced towards the opponent, throwing a punch. Although his physical skills were not comparable to Qi Long, Luo Lang and the others, he had successfully reached the beginner level of Qi-Jin after training with Boss...

The opponent decisively met his punch with a punch of his own. Boom! A large force almost collapsed the entire tent.

The opponent couldn’t take the power that came from Han Jijyun and was knocked back by three steps and almost fell on the receiver. The opponent looked at Han Jijyun with fear. He didn’t expect that someone as young as he had actually reached the level of Qi-Jin. This made it so that he, who had only gotten halfway to reaching the level of Qi-Jin, was unable to compare with Han Jijyun.

He quickly looked at the screen of the receiver and saw the information shown, his eyes now showing extreme happiness. It seemed that the signal covering the original signal had reached more than 90%. Even if he was defeated, Han Jijyun wouldn’t be able to change the outcome of being eliminated.

Finally, the receiver showed that it was 100% complete. That person laughed hysterically and said, “Haha, we’ve broken through the First Men’s Military Academy.” The First Men’s Military Academy that was on a pedestal had finally been eliminated by the alliance of these low-level military academies.

Han Jijyun was already beside him, he believed that Han Jijyun was eliminated and did not pose a threat to him; he didn’t defend himself. But then he suddenly saw a silver line flash before his eyes. He turned around dumbfounded, and said with great difficulty, “You... you... broke the rules!”

After saying this, he became unconscious. It turned out that he was put to sleep by Han Jijyun’s tranquilizer.

“I also hope that I have broken the rules. Unfortunately, in my communicator, I didn’t receive a report of the First Men’s Military Academy being eliminated,” Han Jijyun walked towards that person and said softly. He lifted his head and looked at the receiver showing 100% completion and instantly fell into deep thought.

A few seconds later, Han Jijyun took off the receiver from the beacon that belonged to that special-class operator and put his own receiver on top. He pushed the button once again and covered up the opponent’s signal once again. Quickly, the receiver reached 100% and Area G17 became the First Men’s Military Academy’s territory once again.

“It turns out Area G17 is no longer the headquarters.” Han Jijyun’s eyes showed a hint of confusion. He knew that this was something his boss had done, but he didn’t know how he had done it.

In the monitoring room, they all thought that the First Men’s Military Academy had been eliminated, but they discovered that the First Men’s Military Academy was still in the game. Many of the officers were dumbfounded and screamed out, “How is this possible?”

Wasn’t Area G17 the First Men’s Military Academy’s headquarters? Why were they not eliminated since the opponent had taken over it?

“Staff members, immediately search for the real location of the First Men’s Military Academy’s headquarters.” Unable to explain the situation, these people naturally wanted to find out the answer.

After receiving the agreement of the person in charge of the Grand Mecha Tournament, the staff members finally began to search for the real headquarters of the First Men’s Military Academy.

“It’s here!” A few minutes later, the staff members finally found the location of the First Men’s Military Academy’s headquarters. “It’s in Area Q9!”

“That’s not possible. Area Q9 is the Second Men’s Military Academy’s headquarters. How could it be the First Men’s Military Academy’s?” After this answer was given, everyone in the monitoring room was in an uproar, showing expressions of disbelief.

Ling Xiao discovered that the First Men’s Military Academy hadn’t become eliminated after Area G17 had been taken, and then he had started to think about why. And upon hearing that their real headquarters was in Area Q9, he instantly came to a realization. “I see!”

“Lan’er! You managed to discover what I had missed before! You have surpassed me in this aspect! I’m proud of you!”
