Jiang Shaoyu finally managed to escape the situation of being under a pincer attack, and the situation instantly improved for him; however, at this moment, his six battle teams had been reduced to 33 people. Two of the allied battle teams were practically disabled. Of the four battle teams that he had brought with him, only his battle team still remained nearly intact. The other teams were halved and had also lost many capable mecha operators.

However, bad luck finally changed to good luck; Jiang Shaoyu had actually discovered a location that was most suitable to use a choke point. He decisively led the rest of the remaining mecha operators to rush towards that location and set up a formation to intercept the forces chasing them from behind.

Just like that, the forces that were chasing after them didn’t dare to make a move. The firepower of more than 30 people was still very strong. The two sides were at a stalemate once again.

“We can’t keep going like this. We can’t be held back here anymore.” Jiang Shaoyu knew clearly that he had to be fast and ruthless after leading his team to attack the First Men’s Military Academy this time; otherwise, if Qiao Ting realized that his own headquarters was under attack and came back, it would be difficult to take down their headquarters.

“Captain, you take a portion of people and leave this place to me,” Jiang Shaoyu’s vice-captain said to him decisively.

Jiang Shaoyu bit his lip and said, “Then I’ll leave this place to you.” In order to make sure they blocked off the forces chasing them from behind, Jiang Shaoyu didn’t take his own battle team. He instead took the 10-man battle team that was pieced together from the broken battle teams. They abruptly turned around and rapidly flew towards Area G17.

“Jiang Shaoyu split up his forces.” Seeing Jiang Shaoyu’s movements, Wu Jiong immediately contacted Han Jijyun.

After Han Jijyun received this information, he couldn’t help but sigh and think, “The people left to defend the headquarters was still not enough. If we had another two battle teams joining the ambush, the Second Men’s Military Academy wouldn’t have had so many people escape the encirclement.” As Han Jijyun looked towards the southeast, his eyes showed a hint of anxiety.

Mu Shaoyu and Han Yu, who had participated in the ambush with Wu Jiong, saw that Jiang Shaoyu had split his forces, and they were greatly surprised. Han Yu quickly said, “How about Mu Shaoyu and I both take two teams and go around the two sides to intercept them?”

The ambush ring’s temporary commander was Wu Jiong, that was why Han Yu told his idea to Wu Jiong.

“No need. We will deal with these people first.” Wu Jiong immediately stopped him from doing what he was going to do.

“But back at headquarters, other than the logistics and patrol teams, there aren’t any more official battle teams. They will definitely not be able to go against Jiang Shaoyu,” Han Yu said anxiously. If Jiang Shaoyu broke through to their headquarters, they would lose outright.

“It’s okay, Boss Lan has already made preparations. We just need to take care of these wings of Jiang Shaoyu,” Wu Jiong said calmly.

Wu Jiong’s calmness made Han Yu quickly calm down, while Mu Shaoyu’s eyes lit up upon hearing those words. As if he were on to something, he asked, “Did Commander Ling have a plan?”

Wu Jiong didn’t answer, but merely pointed at the 22 people that were left by the opposition and said, “Our mission is to deal with these people. This time, we cannot let them escape our clutches again.” He continued to tell Han Yu and Mu Shaoyu his plan. The two of them nodded, took their battle teams and each chose a direction and quickly left.

Before leaving, Han Yu didn’t forget to threaten Wu Jiong, “Wu Jiong, you better pray that nothing happens to headquarters, or else I will definitely find you to settle the score.”

Although Wu Jiong was very worried, he still trusted Ling Lan very much. He said without hesitation, “Captain Han, you won’t have that kind of chance.”

“It’s a promise!” Han Yu pointed his finger at Wu Jiong, twirling it around to show that a promise was made between the two of them. Han Yu thought that if they were really eliminated by the Second Men’s Military Academy, while he didn’t have the capabilities to seek out Ling Lan for revenge, it was still possible for him to vent on Ling Lan’s little underling.

Wu Jiong had finally managed to send Han Yu out with great difficulty. Looking at his figure disappearing into the distance, Wu Jiong couldn’t help but silently shake his head. “How much resentment does this Captain Han have against their Lingtian battle clan? He’s trying to find a chance whenever he can to take revenge on them.”

Just like that, Han Yu and Mu Shaoyu’s two battle teams suddenly flew out a few kilometers from both the left and right side. Once they got out of the radar range of the intercepting forces Jiang Shaoyu had left there, they changed their flight direction and went around behind the forces that were intercepting them.

The vice-captain, who was left to intercept the enemy, couldn’t help but be surprised at the fact that the two battle teams of the First Men’s Military Academy had suddenly left. He silently thought about what they were up to. Were they going to chase down the captain? At this thought, he couldn’t help but become anxious. It was a shame that the three battle teams that the opposition had left there had crazy firepower, making them unable to move for the time being. With no other choice, he could only contact Jiang Shaoyu and told him about the two teams that were chasing them.

Jiang Shaoyu did not worry like the vice-captain upon hearing this information, however; he even believed that it was more beneficial for them that the opposition had split up their forces. Since the other side had sent out two battle teams to chase after them, the number of opponents at the vice-captain’s location was likely to only be around 30 mecha. Undoubtedly, this would lessen the pressure on the vice-captain, who was left behind to defend that spot.

When Jiang Shaoyu heard that there were 5 or 6 advanced mecha among the 30 mecha that were left to go against the vice-captain, he believed even more that this was an opportunity for the vice-captain and the others. Jiang Shaoyu shared his thoughts with the vice-captain and told him to find a chance to take care of the 30 mecha and then regroup with him.

Jiang Shaoyu was very confident in his battle team’s capabilities. The mecha operators that he had brought were all special-class operators who were carefully selected and at their peak. The number of special-class operators on both sides did not have much of a difference; it was possible that they could win due to the levels of the mecha.

In order for his team members to catch up, Jiang Shaoyu instantly slowed down his speed. Additionally, he wanted to use this chance to take down the two mecha teams that were chasing them. Before attacking Area G17, if he could deplete most of the defending strength of their headquarters, it would be very beneficial for them, the attacking side.

Around 10 minutes later, Area G17 came into sight; however, they still didn’t see the two battle teams appear.

Right then, Jiang Shaoyu suddenly received an emergency voice call from the vice-captain. Right when he hit the receive button, he heard the scream of the vice-captain from the other end, “Captain, we’ve fallen into a trap.” Along with his voice, there were also countless sounds of explosions and the clashing of cold weapons.

Jiang Shaoyu’s instantly felt his heart dropping to his stomach. He yelled, “Vice-captain, what happened?”

“Those two battle teams went behind us and surrounded us. Bastards…” Jiang Shaoyu heard the vice-captain speak half a sentence, but then heard a scream right afterwards. No sound was heard after that.

Jiang Shaoyu still didn’t really understand at the time. It was possible that the 22 mecha he had left behind to intercept the enemy had all been lost.

He hadn’t thought that the First Men’s Military Academy would be this daring. They actually didn’t care that they were closing in on their headquarters and only wanted to take down the 22 mecha that he left to intercept the forces that would chase. It was also his own poor judgment that let the opponent catch them with their pants down…

“F**k!” Jiang Shaoyu angrily swung the large sword in his hand, which sent out a large shockwave and cut down a small tree ten meters away from him.

Jiang Shaoyu couldn’t help but be angry. He had brought 72 people with him, and everything had been going smoothly until they entered Area G, but they consecutively suffered setbacks outside of Area G17. In the end, he only had 11 mecha left including himself. Jiang Shaoyu felt that this was a humiliation like never before. If he lost to Qiao Ting, he would perhaps be able to find some excuse. Right now, however, the enemy’s headquarters didn’t have Qiao Ting, only some ordinary special-class and advanced mecha operators. Yet it was these ordinary mecha operators that had caused him to suffer great losses.

“Commander, what should we do now? Maybe we should return to Area P and rest up?” Out of the 10 mecha that were left, 7 were from the Second Men’s Military Academy, while the other three were part of the allied battle team. At that moment, the three from the allied battle team had thoughts of retreating.

“Since we’re already here, we should go see the headquarters of the First Men’s Military Academy for ourselves. I am not willing to stop here.” Jiang Shaoyu held down his anger and told them his decision with a solemn face.

Perhaps the temptation of the First Men’s Military Academy’s headquarters was too great; the three from the allied battle team, who had originally wanted to retreat, now also had no more opinions—the 11 mechas rapidly flew into Area G17.

Area G17 was very quiet, showing no signs of a headquarters. If it wasn’t for the fact that Jiang Shaoyu was very confident in his map, he would have likely started to have suspicions as to whether the reports were accurate.

Jiang Shaoyu’s 11-man team began to carefully investigate. Finding a hidden beacon in the vast mountain ranges and lush forests was a very difficult thing to do.

“Han Jijyun, they’ve entered Area G17. What should we do now?” At the top of one of Area G17’s mountain ranges, Li Yingjie looked at Jiang Shaoyu’s battle team on the screen. He couldn’t help but be anxious and began asking Han Jijyun, who was beside him.

Han Jijyun didn’t answer, but merely looked calmly at the mecha’s screen. He stared at the radar without blinking even for a second, as if he was waiting for something.

When Li Yingjie saw that Han Jijyun didn’t pay attention to him, he instantly screamed out in frustration, “F**k, I don’t care anymore. I’m taking a team with me to intercept them.”

Han Jijyun turned his gaze at that and asked with hesitation, “How are you going to intercept them?”

Li Yingjie was dumbfounded. He angrily pulled at his own hair and yelled out, “Then what do we do? Are we going to just watch as Jiang Shaoyu takes down our headquarters? And become the first out of the top 4 military academies to be eliminated?”

Han Jijyun didn’t answer. He tucked his lips and stared at the radar once again.

“Say something. If you don’t say something, I’m really going to go. Even if we have to use kamikaze measures, we have to intercept the opponent.” After saying that, Li Yingjie didn’t care anymore and pushed down the button for his team’s commlink channel and ordered, “All members, prepare for battle!”

“Yes, captain!” All of the members replied with excitement. At the same time, they cracked their knuckles. As the mixed logistics and patrol team, they were the weakest battle team in the First Men’s Military Academy; however, they weren’t cowards that would just run when they saw a strong enemy. Everyone knew clearly that as long as they mobilized to intercept the enemy, they only had one option to take and that was kamikaze. Otherwise, with their mecha and their operating capabilities, they would definitely have no chance.

They still remembered Boss Lan using this method when he had led them in the competition against Qiao Ting’s battle team. Using it had changed the outcome of the entire match.

“We still have time. We still have a chance. A chance.” Cold sweat was forming on Han Jijyun’s forehead. Was it possible that the other side had run into a problem?
