“Ah!” A miserable cry came from one of the mechas.

Qi Long’s operation style was similar to Caesar’s style. Although his opponent operated a close combat mecha from Caesar, he was unable to retaliate when Qi Long attacked him with a similar battle style. After experiencing some heavy blows, Qi Long’s opponent didn’t manage to defend against the last attack. Qi Long’s sword slashed his opponent’s mecha.

The impact heavily injured the mecha operator in the cockpit. He couldn’t help but scream.

The team channel in every team’s mecha was linked. When the other people heard the scream, especially the two mecha operators who were in a battle, started to feel agitated. They were already on the losing end so the moment they lost control of their emotions, Zhao Jun and Li Yingjie saw an opening.

Two loud collisions occurred simultaneously. Zhao Jun and Li Yingjie struck their opponents together. Zhao Jun even managed to chop his opponent’s right arm off. His opponent was crippled.

The captain woke up from daze when he heard the screams. He saw three of his team members going down and was bewildered. “What is happening? Who are our opponents? Why are they so strong?”

Although his team was not the strongest ace mecha battle team in his country, they were definitely not weak. They were bodyguards of the royal family. However, in front of these five ace mechas, they couldn’t even put up any resistance.

The captain noticed his team member who was fighting with the special-class mecha from the corner of his eyes. After battling for so long, his team member didn’t gain any advantages at all. His team member was an ace mecha master but the opponent was just a special-class operator.

The captain started suspecting whether these people suppressed their levels. The ace operators were actually imperial operators while the special-class operator was an ace operator.

I will die if I stay here any longer! He wanted to take revenge for His Highness, but he didn’t want his team members to die here. They might not survive even if they went back but he knew that if they continued fighting, they would definitely all get killed. They could have a chance to live if they retreat now.

“Retreat!” The captain yelled out his command immediately to his team members.

The three ace mecha operators had already lost their confidence during the fight. Hence, when they heard the command, they immediately maximized their engine output and retreated towards their spaceship.

“You want to run away?” How could Zhao Jun, Qi Long, and Li Yingjie let their opponents run away? Qi Long threw his sword at his opponent decisively. The sword flew towards his opponent’s cockpit like a flash of light.

“Beep. Danger...” The optical supercomputer on the mecha only managed to say this before the sword appeared in front of him.

Qi Long’s opponent thought that he could escape since he was flying away at full speed. He didn’t expect Qi Long to use such a barbaric method. By the time he realized it, it was too late. He tried to evade the sword but it still pierced through his cockpit mercilessly. He died on the spot.

Zhao Jun didn’t throw his sword out. He used an [A] rank technique, the Whirlwind Strike. The Whirlwind Strike was a [B] rank technique but Zhao Jun modified the Whirlwind Strike. He merged the technique with his operation style, causing the Whirlwind Strike to be upgraded. His Whirlwind Strike was recognized as his personal technique, the True Whirlwind Strike.

Zhao Jun knew other techniques too but compared to his other techniques, the True Whirlwind Strike was much simpler to operate. It didn’t need any preparations and he could just use it almost immediately.

The Whirlwind Strike used the wind created by the sword to attack the opponent. It didn’t provide as much damage as a normal sword attack but the opponent would lose control of his mecha and be blown away. action

This was what Zhao Jun wanted. He rushed forward in an instant.

He slashed his sword and stabbed it into the cockpit of his opponent’s mecha. His deceased opponent would remain in space forever.

Li Yingjie was the least experienced so he immediately chased after his opponent when his opponent started running away. Two mechas could be seen flying at full speed in space.

After the captain gave his command, he turned his direction and quickly retreated. Li Lanfeng didn’t expect his opponent to run away from the battle suddenly. He was caught off guard and let the captain get out of his range.

However, Li Lanfeng regained his senses quickly. He raised the beam gun in his left hand and aimed it at his opponent. He fired multiple shots at his opponent. Instead of shooting at one single spot, Li Lanfeng shot horizontally. The beams formed a net around his opponent. Then, he took out his high-efficiency beam gun with his right hand and aimed it at the net of beams.

The high-efficiency beam bullet passed through the net of beams. A few sparks were formed. Then, a huge explosion occurred in the middle of the net. It lit up the dark space for an instant.

The captain felt a huge force coming towards his mecha. He maximized the power on his shield and pushed his throttle further. His engine was operating past its limits now.

Bang! The captain felt a huge force. His chest was in excruciating pain. He vomited blood and almost fainted. He knew this was a crucial moment for him so he bit his tongue. The pain woke him up.

However, despite being injured, his mecha was blown a thousand meters away. He escaped from Li Lanfeng for now.

The mecha operator who was fighting with Ling Lan, no, who got entirely controlled by Ling Lan and the one who was battling with Lin Zhong-qing also received the same order from their captain.

Lin Zhong-qing’s opponent was lucky. He was further away from Lin Zhong-qing and his opponent was not an ace mecha master. Hence, when he ran away, Lin Zhong-qing was unable to catch up to him.

Thus, he escaped. Lin Zhong-qing could only wave his beam gun in anger.

However, Ling Lan’s opponent was not so lucky. While he was running away, Ling Lan kept shooting at him. He tried to best to dodge the beams. After evading three beams, he got hit in the cockpit by the fourth one. He died too.

Three mechas were escaping in front of her. Ling Lan instantly raised her sniper rifle and aimed it at the captain.

Aim, lock, calculate... this is where he will be.

Ling Lan calculated her trajectory of attack and pulled her trigger.

“Beep. You are locked in. Danger!” The optical supercomputer reminded the captain. He used many techniques to dodge the attack but the warning didn’t stop. This meant that his opponent had predicted all of his moves.

The captain was on the verge of collapsing. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. For the first time, he felt that he was on the verge of death. Was there no chance of surviving?

No, he didn’t want to die! The captain’s eyes turned cold. He moved his fingers quickly and started calculating his opponent’s actions too.

“Rui En, go to (XX,XX)!” The captain suddenly gave an order to Rui En who was behind him.

Rui En carried out the order without any hesitation.

The moment he reached the position, a warning sounded from his optical supercomputer.

“Boom!” Rui En’s mecha suddenly exploded. In order to survive this attack, the captain sacrificed a member of his team.

However, to outsiders, they just thought that the team member voluntarily sacrificed himself to save his captain.

“Rui En. No, captain...” The ace operator who was running away from Li Yingjie heard the command being given through the team channel and knew what had just happened. His captain sent Rui En to death. Rui En never suspected anything.

Before the ace operator could regain his senses, he saw his captain turning around and aimed at him with his beam gun.

“No!” He thought that his captain wanted to kill him too. He stopped running. The moment he stopped, Li Yingjie caught up with him.

Actually, the captain was aiming at Li Yingjie. Spectators would think that the captain wanted to help his team member even in times of danger. As for why the operator suddenly stopped... his mecha might have malfunctioned.

After this act, the captain turned and rushed towards the mechas of the intergalactic pirates. He used the ruins around him to block Ling Lan’s vision.

Ling Lan put down her gun regretfully. If she wanted to kill her opponent, she needed to destroy all the mecha blocking her sight. Her opponent’s despicable actions made her blood boil but it was not enough to make her lose control of her emotions and risk her life.

Li Yingjie managed to catch up with his opponent due to Ling Lan’s help. He was looking forward to making a cool move and killing his opponent. However, his opponent was decisive. He opened the public channel and shouted, “I surrender!”

Li Yingjie quickly stopped his killing technique. The inertia made him lose his balance and he almost fell. Fortunately, he had a good reflexes so he managed to stabilize his mecha.

“Boss, what should I do?” Li Yingjie quickly asked Ling Lan.

“What should you do? Capture the prisoner,” Ling Lan replied calmly. She wanted to know who the person in the brand new ace mecha model was.

“I understand.” Li Yingjie happily grabbed the mecha and flew over. He remembered to dispose of all the weapons on his opponent’s mecha.

As for the other members of Lingtian, they were already bringing back the new ace mecha model on Ling Lan’s order. Only Li Lanfeng stood beside Ling Lan. He knew that Ling Lan was strong but he still wanted to stay beside her and protect her.
