Boom! As soon as the white light touched Roland's mecha, the mecha exploded in a wonderful myriad of colours, lighting up the dark and vast space.
One shot was enough to end the life of a regiment commander from Caesar.
The mecha operators were stunned by Roland's order to run. Before they could even react to the sudden order, they realised that their regiment commander was killed by a long-range mecha with a single shot.
Everyone was dumbfounded, including the people watching the battle in the base. The battle with Knight Ace proved that Ling Lan was a powerful close combat mecha operator. When everyone thought that she was just good at close combat, her sudden snipe proved them wrong. She was good at close combat and long-range attacks.
Everyone from Lingtian felt proud just by the presence of Ling Lan. This was their regiment commander, someone so powerful that they could only look up to him.Only highly skilled mecha operators would realise that Ling Lan's seemingly single shot was actually a culmination of many shots combined. The shots instantly depleted the energy of the protective shield and exploded the mecha in one single instance, making it seemed like she only just fired a single shot.
"Kill them!" All the mecha operators suddenly heard an indifferent voice on their channel.
This was the order of Hades.
The mecha operators shuddered just from the indifference in her voice. They quickly pushed down their excitement and tightly gripped their weapons. They started their brutal massacre.
"You're not satisfied with just Knight Ace Mecha Clan? Ling Lan, are you the hero of the Federation or are you the devil that's going to bring calamity?" Yu Huan stared at the mecha who was mercilessly killing the mechas of team leaders so that the battle could end quickly. Somehow, he felt fearful of this young regiment commander.
"Lingtian annihilated three mecha clans?" The battle quickly came to an end. The soldiers at the base finally regained their senses. They swallowed their saliva and spoke to the person beside them in disbelief.
"And one of them is the top 18th mecha clan of Caesar. I feel that the power dynamic in the universe is about to change." The mecha operator's eyes were shining with excitement. He looked at the mechas from Lingtian with envy.Luo Chao suddenly stood up and contacted Han Xuya. "Xuya, prepare to eject the rescue team."
"I understand." Han Xuya had been waiting for Luo Chao's call. She immediately ordered the leaders of her JMC teams to eject the rescue team at the fastest possible speed.
"Look, Lingtian is acting again." Numerous mechas started to get ejected out of the launching ports. They quickly gathered in their teams under the command of their leaders and started clearing up the battlefield.
"Those are special-class operators… F**k, special-class operators are in the rescue team. This is so extravagant." The soldiers who were already shocked once by Lingtian's capability were shocked again.
Those people who were still proud of their special-class level suddenly felt shameful. They were at the same level as the logisticians in Lingtian.
"Is Lingtian really not a legendary mecha clan?" someone exclaimed.
"That's right. Only legendary mecha clans have such strength and powerful equipment."
"They must be a legendary mecha clan. They probably just changed their title to come here."
Everyone immediately felt that they understood why Lingtian was so powerful.
At that moment, Lin Zhong-qing turned serious. "It's our battlefield now. We must cooperate with Head Li's medical department and send the injured mecha operators to the recovery pods."
Did they really think that four months was enough to increase the capabilities of the mecha operators drastically? Drastic times call for drastic measures, as Boss used forbidden medicines to compensate for the lack of training time. Forbidden medicines were good to use but the implications after using them were too great. Fortunately, Li Shiyu was the one who invented the medicine. Hence, he knew how to solve its implications. This was the main reason why Boss chose to use it.
No matter what, they must ensure that the future of these mecha operators does not get implicated by the use of the forbidden medicine.
The entire camping ground started getting busy. Lingtian no longer lacked logisticians but it still didn't reach the required number of logisticians for a mecha clan. However, under Lin Zhong-qing's reorganisation, these empty slots were taken care of.
Ling Lan safety stored her beam gun back in its holster. Lingtian had taken control of the situation. It was only a matter of time before all the Caesar mechas got destroyed.
"Regiment commander, there is a regiment commander from Caesar who wants to surrender." At that moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice appeared on the channel.
Ling Lan frowned. The mecha operators from Ling Lan slowed down the massacre on their opponents when they heard this.
On the public channel, a frightened and agitated voice was heard. This person was trying his best to speak the Federations language. "We surrender! Surrender! Stop!"
Ling Lan started frowning even more. She didn't plan to leave anyone alive. She was only able to make up any excuse if everyone was dead.
However, this person surrendered through the public channel. If she still ordered her men to kill him, then this could be used as evidence against her in court about her breaching the Humanitarian Act. She and her father were already having a hard time dealing with the issues their enemies threw towards them. She couldn't make any mistakes at this critical juncture.
Forget it. Leaving these people alive was troublesome but she would be able to find a way to solve them. Ling Lan decided to accept the surrender.
Suddenly, a scream of fright came from the channel as well as shouts of disbelief.
"Leader, why did you kill him?" The familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded furious and shocked.
"We must use their lives to repay the lives of our dead comrades." Li Lanfeng's cold voice sounded. "Leave no one behind. Kill all of them. Don't let me repeat it again."
The newer soldiers and logisticians stared at the always gentle and calm Big Leader Li in disbelief. He actually violated the Humanitarian Act. They were flabbergasted. This was different from what they were taught. They didn't know if they should listen to him.
"This is an order!" Li Lanfeng raised his voice. "Kill them!"
"Regiment commander!" The familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded in the channel again. He believed that his beloved regiment commander would stop this order.
But, it was too late. The mecha operators in Lingtian were too used to following commands. They raised their swords and killed the surrendered mecha operators from Caesar.
