Ten mech warriors entered the battlefield. After two rounds of the Greatest King Competition, everyone was already too familiar with the urban battlefield. The battlefield used in the finals was also the battlefield as it could test each team’s foundations the best.
Both formations were very compact and pushed towards the center, but after a minute, the situation changed. The audience exclaimed.
Aslan’s Imperial Glory battle team used their big move!
In this crucial finals, the most stable situation would be a confrontation in the center of the map. No one was afraid of anyone, but in order to prevent accidents, all the main roads must be watched by a mech. After all, they still had to be on guard for the other party’s sneak attack.
Almost everyone in and outside the venue was sure that the two teams would launch a fierce fight in the midfield, but only Di Maria was in Imperial Glory’s center lane.
Di Maria was piloting the BS001 all alone on the central road. It was said that this mech belonged to a legendary invincible War God. It was said to be a very primitive model, but in fact, its capabilities were particularly strong. The appearance was very ordinary, and its body was slightly bigger than the usual mecha.
Heracles led the other four people from the top and advanced. Was this to ambush the opponent?
It was very dangerous to use this kind of battle tactic with big moves. If the Arbiters were cautious enough, it was most likely that the opponent would directly kill him in the middle lane. You must know that this was Arbiter’s Asura battle team. They definitely had this ability.
This was the first time Marzu participated in battle. Di Maria, this junior, was not modest at all.
Di Maria did not care about the statuses of seniors and juniors. He despised it deeply. In his eyes, there was only the big Aslan. What was the Milky Way Alliance? It was only for Princess Aina that he came here.
What Marzu, Olivios? A group of lowly people. It was enough that they could jump around when he was not there.
Fighting was about the realization of art. The bigger the competition, the more courage and confidence you must have. When others were greedy, you must know fear. When others fear, you must be greedy.
Psychological warfare was the highest level of fighting, and a group of country bumpkins from Arbiter would not understand.
Huiyin was a bit nervous. She did not understand it very well, but she also knew that this move was very dangerous. After the mecha reached a certain distance, both sides could be exposed to danger at any time, even if the mech was silent. This was a battle of reaction time and psychological strength.
But Aslan was still in a very dangerous situation. Even if Heracles and the rest successfully killed one of Asura’s mech warriors, what about the others?
Now it depended on the ability of both sides to deal with changes. The engines of Heracles, Lu Die, Jin Yaoer, and Annil’s mecha were all at the lowest frequency. Once they entered the hunting area, they would all be silent, relying solely on the pilot’s strong body to move the mech stealthily. Of course, only the students of the Elite Academy could do it.
And Di Maria in the midfield was moving at normal speed.
“Di Maria is a bit too daring. Isn’t he afraid that Asura will use their big move too?”
“It’s really not Asura’s style to play with tactics. They prefer confrontational suppression.”
“That is why people say that the Arbiters do not have their own ideas, they are too rigid.”
There was no gap at Asura’s side. The five lines advanced at the same time, and the distance was relatively compact, obviously also to prevent accidents.
But at this level, there was no security at all with this distance.
“If I were Marzu, the whole team would simply advance forward quickly and defeat the Imperial Glory in one breath,” Rennes said. Obviously, he thought Asura was too stupid. Was this Marzu a newbie? Everyone was saying that Marzu was strong. He just came into the public eye for a while after being a coward for two rounds. Why were there so many people supporting him?
Pampas smiled slightly. “Di Maria’s ability to suppress opponents in a group battle is too strong. They will not have the advantage if they engage in a frontal confrontation. A compact five-line advancement is the safest. Although conservative, if you have confidence in your own strength, it is still the best.”
“Are you sure that this is confidence? I think this is being cowardly. Both sides are cowardly. According to what you said, if Di Maria is so strong, isn’t it better to just force the group forward? Why launch a sneak attack? Isn’t this contradictory?” Sartes said flatly. He looked down on both Pampas and Dendi. They had a few years of experience, but in the end, their abilities were just average. They relied on some small tricks to gain the favor of others and even suppress him.
Pampas smiled slightly and did not get angry. However, Dendi could not take it. Actually, before the Greatest King Competition, the rules of the Elite Academy were still very good. At least there was some respect for the seniors, but the students who recently entered were nastier than the others. It was as if they were here to conquer the place.
“Strong people also have to use their brains during battles. There is no absolute strength in the world,” Dendi said.
“This is an excuse for the weak.” Sartes did not agree. Sartes’s Dark Wolves battle team was indeed fierce. He looked down on Pampas and Dendi, who had opened up. Of course, it was not that Sartes had no brains. He was also using this way to attract attention and show himself off.
“There may be strong people here, but it would certainly not be you,” Wang Zheng said, “You can be brawny, but you cannot have no brains.”
Wang Zheng did not give Sartes face at all, and Sartes’s expression changed on the spot. It was always him criticizing others and no one dared to criticize him.
“Wang Zheng, you have guts!”
“To know whether or not I have guts, we will have to wait till you become a girl. The two seniors are too lazy to argue with you. I don’t mind educating you on how to behave.” Wang Zheng smiled slightly. He looked so relaxed and thought nothing of Sartes.
In the Elite Academy, everyone maintained a distance from each other. They would not become too close to anyone nor would they easily offend anyone. Especially for people from some small countries. Obviously, Earth was a small country, but this did not apply to Wang Zheng.
In the end, Sartes could not kick up a fuss in such an occasion. As for the evil glares, in the eyes of Wang Zheng, it was child’s play.
On the other hand, Pampas and Dendi showed some gratitude. They did not expect that Wang Zheng would stand up and speak for them.
On the battlefield, the crucial moment had arrived. Heracles and the others had earned some time after advancing in full speed. They were already waiting at the corner of a building, and on the opposite side, Beo’s Ox Demon mech was approaching.
This was definitely the best chance for the Imperial Glory battle team. The speed of heavy mecha were the slowest. Although the defense was strong, there was an equally strong sniper on the other team.
Everyone was holding their breath, and Di Maria’s mouth curled up slightly. The feeling of piloting the BS001 was really great. It was derived from an ancient legend, an invincible War God used it before. Whether or not it was true, this BS001 was very suitable for him.
So what if he was faced with a thousand soldiers and millions of horses?
Beo was very cautious. When the mech warriors were moving forward, they also maintained a certain communication with each other. He had participated in a lot of battles with Olivios. This was a person with practical experience. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
