After announcing the award for the best player, the host stepped down from the platform, and the mecha battle officially began.
The two sides participating in the war are randomly selected by artificial intelligence.
The players for the next match will only be shown after one match has ended.
Before taking the stage, no one knows what kind of opponent they will face.
Spectator Hall.
Xu Shanyi clenched his fists, nervously praying in a low voice, "Please, please be lucky, don't let us get matched with a top-tier team."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiujia and the others echoed his sentiments.
A top-tier team refers to a squad with two seven-star advanced mech pilots.
The Divine Weapon Squad is almost certainly no match for them.
Beside him, Ning Chuan remained calm, showing no sign of worry.
He watched the battle on the screen, breaking down the moves in his mind, comparing them with his own, and analyzing his strengths and weaknesses.
The matches were quick, each lasting only about half an hour.
If the skill gap between the two sides is too large, the match will last less than 15 minutes.
Around noon, it was the turn of the Divine Weapon Squad.
"Next match: Iron Blood Squad vs. Divine Weapon Squad. Both teams, please follow instructions and pilot your mechs to Xia'an City!"
"Next match: Iron Blood Squad vs. Divine Weapon Squad..."
The notification tone kept repeating.
Basic information about both teams' players was displayed on the big screen.
The scene immediately erupted into a considerable commotion.
The Iron Blood Squad is alright.
A classic lineup.
Two five-star advanced mecha pilots, plus three two-star advanced mecha pilots.
It mainly consists of the Divine Weapon Squad.
The skill gap between the team members is too large.
There are three intermediate-level mech pilots!
Upon seeing the matched opponents, Xu Shanyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know the Iron Blood Squad; they are all mecha divisions from the 53rd Group Army."
Among them, Fang Yu and Zheng Guanghui's martial arts power reached about 45%.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we have a very high chance of winning!
"Let's talk as we walk."
Ning Chuan strode away, leading the four towards the mecha parked outside.
Xu Shanyi glanced at Ning Chuan and pondered, "Our tactics are mainly based on one thing: whether the Iron Blood Squad knows your true skill level!"
Ning Chuan's victory over Chu Ange had only recently occurred.
Apart from the people from the 27th Group Army, most of the other contestants present had never heard of them.
However, the Iron Blood Squad is also a mecha division in the military.
Perhaps there are ways to find out the details.
"If we don't know for sure, they'll most likely group together in five, forcing us into a direct confrontation!"
Xu Shanyi's mind raced as he analyzed the situation, saying, "If they knew this, they would definitely split up and hide, deliberately avoiding you, and then sneakily attack our fortress!"
Xu Shanyi explained the reason.
Even with the combined efforts of the five members of the Iron Blood Squad, they were unable to defeat a single high-level seven-star mecha pilot.
During the conversation, the group piloted their mechs into Xia'an City and arrived near the main fortress.
According to the Rule, you can only leave this area once the game has started.
"Colonel Ning, this is how we'll do it!"
Xu Shanyi decided on a strategy, saying, "You and I will each take a separate path."
Zhao Xiujia and his two companions banded together and took the southern route.
Let's see what tactics the Iron Blood Squad uses, and then we'll adjust them accordingly.
Ning Chuan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll go down the middle lane. If the Iron Blood Squad sticks together as a group of five, they'll most likely choose this path."
The Xia'an City roughly square in shape, facing all four directions.
The three paths leading to the sub-fortress are named North Road, Middle Road, and South Road.
Among them, the north and south routes, roughly along the inner edge of the city wall, are the longest.
The central route is a straight line that connects the two main fortresses of both sides.
During the morning's match, Ning Chuan observed that most of the five-man teams attacking the fortress took the middle route.
At that moment, a loud sound echoed through the sky.
"30 seconds until the start of the match!"
29!
28!
2!
"1!"
As the last sound faded, Ning Chuan, piloting the Wind Hunter, shot off at astonishing speed, like an arrow released from a bow.
This type of mech, known for its explosive power, is best suited for him.
at the same time.
Another main fortress.
The five mechs of the Iron Blood Squad did not separate; they all ran along the central route.
"What a pity. With the Iron Blood Squad's strength, dealing with a six-star advanced mecha pilot wouldn't be a problem!"
In the spectator hall, heated discussions rose and fell.
" The Divine Weapon Squad's strategy is flawed. They should have grouped up and gone down the middle lane as well; that would at least have increased Ning Chuan's combat strength!"
"If Ning Chuan doesn't discover the retreat in time, they'll most likely be eliminated in the first round!"
"Even if it's discovered early, the situation isn't optimistic. By the time Ning Chuan's teammates regroup, at least two fortified positions in the mid lane will have fallen!"
Many players are not optimistic about the Divine Weapon Squad.
However, this does not include the mechanized divisions of the 27th Group Army.
They looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with envy.
It's great to have combat power that surpasses your level!
Senior Colonel Ning is about to put on a show again!
Swish!
The wind howled, Wind Hunter covered a hundred meters in a single step, swiftly traversing the city.
Suddenly, the Wind Hunter paused.
Ning Chuan narrowed his eyes and saw five mechs rapidly approaching from a residential area about two kilometers away.
"It's the Wind Hunter, that six-star advanced mecha pilot!"
At this moment, the Iron Blood Squad also spotted Ning Chuan.
Fang Yu, piloting a Mountain Generation 5, exclaimed in the team chat with a cheerful voice, "He's really lucky; he's actually going solo!"
"Brothers, your chance to make a name for yourselves has arrived!"
Zheng Guanghui laughed as well, saying, "This is a super genius in our military, someone with a 30% chance of becoming a Heavenly King in the future. Defeating him will be something we can brag about for the rest of our lives!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, instructing three two-star advanced mecha pilots to bypass him from the side.
He and Fang Yu engaged in a direct confrontation, buying time.
Finally, they surrounded Ning Chuan and launched a siege.
However, to the Iron Blood Squad's surprise, the Wind Hunter in the distance did not retreat to create distance, but instead rushed towards them at high speed.
Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said teasingly, "I love this kind of incredibly confident genius!"
Zheng Guanghui thought for a moment and said, "The same as before, I'll focus on the attack, and you'll be in charge of defense!"
"No problem!"
Fang Yu spoke confidently, manipulating the right arm of the Mountain Fifth Generation to reach behind him and, with a click, remove an enormous shield.
The Mountain Generation 5 is a heavy and solid mech that is known for its defensive capabilities.
In addition, he specialized in shield magic.
He could defend against a six-star advanced mecha pilot alone for a short period of time.
"I'll go up first to lure Ning Chuan into attacking. You follow behind and look for an opportunity!"
The Mountain Fifth Generation, carrying shields, strode forward.
opposite.
Ning Chuan watched the Mountain Fifth Generation and calculated the distance between them in his mind, without using any movement techniques to speed up the Wind Hunter.
The fact that the Iron Blood Squad grouped up and went down the middle lane shows that they didn't know his true skill level.
Accelerating abruptly will definitely scare the other party.
Even if these people try to escape, he can still catch up with them.
However, the length of the competition is related to the selection of the best player.
Under the scorching sun, the Wind Hunter and the Mountain Fifth Generation rapidly closed the distance between them.
1500 meters!
1000 meters!
600 meters!
"200 meters! That's enough distance, no need to hide anymore!"
Ning Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he mustered all his strength to unleash the Three Thousand Wind Shadows!
In an instant.
The speed of the Wind Hunter increased dramatically, its metal body reflecting the sunlight, like a blinding bolt of lightning, and it arrived close to the Mountain Fifth Generation!
It took less than a second!
