Li Yingjie couldn't wait any longer. He once again gave an order to his team members, "Examine your equipment!"

After giving this order, the impatience on Li Yingjie's face instantly vanished and became very cold. He carefully examined the equipment on the mecha, especially the mirror shield Chang Xinyuan had prepared for them in the very beginning. As the individuals who possessed the weakest capabilities, they had long understood that, in the most critical moment, they could use this powerful shield to take down the battle team attacking them using the self-destruct function.

Everyone was calmly examining their equipment. The self-destruct function of the mecha was actually removed, but the A.I. could simulate the energy from self-destruction; thus, it would be an effective attack.

"Number 1, examination complete!"

"Number 2, examination complete!"

… Very soon, every member had finished examining their equipment. Li Yingjie decisively ordered, "Fly!"

Engines instantly roared, and 10 or so oddly shaped transport mecha along with 4 to 5 advanced mecha slowly rose up into the air. Li Yingjie only rejoiced at the fact that transport mechas were not too slow compared to advanced mechas. This let him feel more assured of being able to successfully close in on the enemy.

Han Jijyun saw that Li Yingjie didn't care about his own safety and was preparing to fight, he had no choice but to follow. Since his friends wanted to fight, Han Jijyun wouldn't withdraw either.

"Commander, mechas have appeared." The vanguard mecha responsible for searching in the front was the first to discover Li Yingjie and the others.

Jiang Shaoyu was surprised. Seeing 15 flashing red dots on his radar, he immediately zoomed in and saw the oddly shaped mecha. He couldn't help but surprisedly ask, "Sh*t, what are those?"

"Captain, they are transport mecha." One member recognized them.

"Looks like the First Men's Military Academy's headquarters indeed doesn't have any more mecha. They actually even sent out transport mecha." One of the members of the allied battle team saw these mecha and felt that it was a pleasant surprise.

Seeing this, Jiang Shaoyu's eyes flashed ruthlessly and he said, "Take these crappy mecha as interest first!" He jumped out and pounced towards Li Yingjie's medley of troops.

Right when the two sides were getting increasingly closer and were nearly at the point crossing swords with one another, a beam of light broke through the sky from the heavens above and shot towards Jiang Shaoyu.

Jiang Shaoyu immediately felt that great danger was approaching. He reacted by operating his mecha to dodge, and the beam of light grazed past Jiang Shaoyu's mecha. But despite it merely being a graze, Jiang Shaoyu's mecha's light shield's energy had already been depleted by one-third of its limit.

Jiang Shaoyu watched in surprise as he saw a mecha appear behind him out of thin air. The colors of the mecha's exterior was a color that he couldn't be more familiar with; it signified that the mecha was at the same level as his ace mecha. Was it possible that Qiao Ting had arrived here?

That was the first thing that Jiang Shaoyu reflexively thought of, but he immediately overruled it, and this was because he clearly saw that this ace mecha wasn't the long range mecha that Qiao Ting usually used. It was instead a balanced mecha…

Jiang Shaoyu's face instantly became red. He already knew whose mecha it was—it belonged to Lin Xiao, who had defeated him in the semi-finals of the singles mecha tournament and advanced to the finals.

"Lin Xiao, why are you here?" Jiang Shaoyu bit his lip and asked. This Lin Xiao, why did he always disrupt his calculations? He had done so during the singles tournament and he was doing the same now while Jiang Shaoyu was attacking the First Men's Military Academy's headquarters.

"You didn't know? The First Co-ed Military Academy has already formed an alliance with the First Men's Military Academy. Since you attacked our allied military academy's headquarters, we would naturally have to come help to defend it," Lin Xiao responded plainly.

After that, Lin Xiao turned around to look at Han Jijyun, and said in an apologetic tone, "Sorry I'm late. I let you guys wait for too long."

"You're not late at all. Just on time," Han Jijyun replied calmly. It was as though his forehead full of cold sweat a moment ago had been an illusion.

"This was what you arranged," Lin Xiao said with praise. Although he had moved as fast as he could upon receiving news of the attack, if not for the plans set by Han Jijyun and the others dragging things out, it was possible that it would have been too late by the time he arrived.

At this moment, Lin Xiao couldn't help but silently admire Ling Lan. How much confidence and trust would someone need to leave the safety of the headquarters to these mecha operators who were not worth mentioning? However, it was none other than these individuals who had performed so spectacularly. Even he couldn't help but praise the fact that Ling Lan's subordinates could have so much up their sleeves.

Jiang Shaoyu was thoroughly angered by Lin Xiao and Han Jijyun conversing as if no one was around. Jiang Shaoyu screamed out, "You bastard!" The next second, he held up his sword and swung it towards Lin Xiao.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao showed a hint of a smile. The reason he had ignored Jiang Shaoyu was actually to make him mad. Truth be told, Jiang Shaoyu's close combat abilities were in fact very strong. Although Lin Xiao was confident in his own close combat abilities, close combat mecha held an advantage in itself. If he allowed Jiang Shaoyu to remain calm, Lin Xiao couldn't be certain of being able to take down his opponent.

Lin Xiao was someone who was good at playing mind games, so he set a trap from the very start and naturally, Jiang Shaoyu fell into it without realizing it.

Lin Xiao quickly drew his large sword and battled fiercely against Jiang Shaoyu. Both of them were ace operators. It wasn't possible to decide victory within a short period of time as they both possessed very high operating skills…

The 10 mecha that were following Jiang Shaoyu saw that Lin Xiao had only come by himself, and got the idea of helping Jiang Shaoyu. But right when they were about to silently fire beam shots and perform a sneak attack to interfere, a large group of mecha appeared on the radar. It seemed that Lin Xiao wasn't the only one that came; he had also brought a large force with him at the same time, which was comprised of battle teams from the First Co-ed Military Academy and from the allied military academies as well.

This made them not dare to move carelessly. A few seconds later, the large force of mechas had arrived at this location, and this made the 10 mechas not dare to move even more.

The situation was becoming good for the First Men's Military Academy. While everyone in the monitoring room all believed that the Second Men's Military Academy was going to fail outright, Ling Xiao, who had been smiling the whole time, changed his expression and began look serious. Not only him, but He Xuyang also began to frown.

"General, I know that there's definitely something wrong here. However, I can't seem to understand how the Second Men's Military Academy can turn this around in their favor." He Xuyang's sharp eyes and wit let him see clearly that Jiang Shaoyu's anger was all an act; otherwise, how could each strike of his be so clean?

"His allies aren't only just beside him." Ling Xiao reminded softly.

He Xuyang instantly understood; it turned out that the danger was coming from there.

"Ah, why is Area G2 sending out mecha battle teams? What are they going to do?" While everyone had turned their focus towards the First Men's Military Academy, one quiet and overlooked area unexpectedly came out of its shell, silenting crawling out with seven battle teams.

"Their direction—Area G10 and onwards. Final destination: Area G17!" Quickly following their movements, the monitoring room finally managed to analyze their final destination.

"Are they the First Men's Military Academy's allied forces?" someone asked confusedly.

"Wait, enhance the image." Suddenly, someone found a point of suspicion and immediately made the staff member zoom in on the seven battle teams.

These battle teams finally came onto the big screen. When they zoomed in on the logos on their chest, everyone finally realized the problem; these seven battle teams were actually not from one military academy but were allied battle teams.

"When did Area G2 have allied battle teams?" someone asked in surprise.

This military academy in Area G2 was not well known at all. Everyone had overlooked them, which was why no one knew that there was actually an alliance that had successfully formed right before their eyes.

"We don't know what this allied force is going to do or if they have any relationship with the First Men's Military Academy…" Everyone all felt that the situation was becoming confusing and they didn't understand it anymore.

"General, it looks like there won't be ally reinforcements but incoming enemies instead," He Xuyang whispered to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao nodded lightly and said, "Yes, if they were on the First Men's Military Academy's side, to begin with, they wouldn't have remained completely still when Jiang Shaoyu invaded. Now it seems this allied force is possibly related to Jiang Shaoyu's side." Ling Xiao clenched his fists. He didn't think that his daughter's headquarters would go through such perils. They had barely gotten past their first hurdle, yet now it seemed that a second one was coming their way…

At that moment, 12 hours had already passed and the sky was becoming brighter. Another bright night was upon them…

Having rested up, Ling Lan's seven-man team finally moved out. Everyone entered their respective mecha, slowly left Jianqiao Military Academy's headquarters and moved towards the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters.

Ling Lan didn't hide, but instead proudly and openly led her members and flew through the areas. During their flight, they didn't see many patrol battle teams. There were only a few battle teams here and there. Compared to 12 hours ago, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Ling Lan knew why this was the case, as Little Four had told her the reason behind it. The countless battle teams that Jiang Shaoyu had gathered had split into two forces; one was to be led by him to attack the First Men's Military Academy, while one was to surround the Third Men's Military Academy. It was because of this that Qiao Ting was held down at the Third Men's Military Academy and was unable to return to the headquarters to defend it.

The patrol battle teams didn't have any will to do anything because the entirety of Area Q had become empty. When they saw Ling Lan and the others, they weren't interested in asking where they were going and what they were going to do. After all, the logo on their chests already revealed their identities, and the headquarters of the Second Men's Military Academy was not too far from them. They didn't want to make the people from the Second Men's Military Academy angry.

It should be said that here, they were sneaking past the patrol team right under their noses. The patrol team felt that the headquarters of the Second Men's Military Academy was right there, so there would naturally be no issues.

This allowed Ling Lan and the rest of her team to move in extraordinarily smoothly. When they had reached the last ten kilometers, Ling Lan suddenly gave an order that surprised her team: she had decided for them to leave their mecha and prepare to infiltrate the Second Men's Military Academy on foot.

Although Ling Lan had an omnipotent weapon like Little Four—who could render the radar of enemy mecha ineffective, making it so that the mecha Ling Lan operated could move about undetected by radar and only be detected by sight—Ling Lan still wanted to use only her own strength to finish her mission while making sure of their survival.

Without using Little Four, their mechas wouldn't have an equipment jamming function. Once they got close to the enemy headquarters, they would definitely be discovered by the mecha operators who were defending it, at which point they would have to fight hard to get inside.

If Ling Lan were alone, she would have forced a fight. Even if she couldn't succeed, she could still safely get away with her capabilities; however, having teammates changed the story. If they became surrounded, they may not be able to escape.

Ling Lan was a responsible person. Since she had led her team members out here to do battle, she wanted all of the members she brought with her to watch the end of the battle royale with a smile on their faces.
