When Ling Lan was ejected into space, she saw many mechas fighting… there was also a huge flagship and two vanguard ships pursuing Feiyang. They were trying to stop it.
Li Lanfeng was right. The intergalactic pirates came with a flagship and two vanguard ships.
However, it would not be easy to stop the Feiyang Ship. Ling Lan saw three ace mechas nearby the two vanguard ships. If she was right, these three ace mechas were from the other four-star battle teams. She thought that only the captains of the battle teams were ace mecha masters but it seemed like there was another ace mecha master in one of the teams.
When Meng Shangyuan and his men were trying their best to stop the vanguard ships, they suddenly saw a few ace mechas coming to the battlefield. They were stunned. Those mechas looked like the mechas from the Federation.
They knew that besides the four-star battle teams, there were no other ace operators in the Feiyang Ship. If so, where did these five ace operators come from?Meng Shangyuan suddenly remembered Ling Lan and her team. He was shocked. Were these people from Ling Lan's battle team?
The young faces of Ling Lan's team members appeared in Meng Shangyuan's mind. Their captain was also of a similar age. They must be recruits that just graduated from the military academy. If he was right, to become ace operators at such a young age, they must be elites of the elites. According to Meng Shangyuan's past experiences, such elites were arrogant and unwilling to bow down to people. How was Ling Lan able to lead this bunch of elites?
The Flying Dragon Special Forces? Meng Shangyuan thought about this. Only the Flying Dragon Special Forces was able to have so many young ace operators. However, the Flying Dragon Special Forces was the ultimate weapon of the Federation. They would never let their members join other divisions. But, why were these people in the 23rd Division?
Their information must be fake! Meng Shangyuan thought about their mission and their fake identities. He deduced the answer. In order to prevent other people from noticing them, the Flying Dragon Special Forces gave them fake identities. Compared to other developed divisions, the newly formed 23rd Division was the best division to use.
Meng Shangyuan and the others all thought that Ling Lan and her team members were from the Flying Dragon Special Forces. However, they didn't have time to ponder their thoughts. The vanguard ships were moving very quickly and were very agile. It was much bigger than their mechas too so in order to stop it, three mechas were not enough. They needed to focus all their attention to stop the vanguard ships.
Everyone was clear about their objective so they quickly pushed their doubts about Ling Lan and her team members to the back of their minds.
At this moment, on the flagship of the intergalactic pirates, the captain of the ship was looking at the screen angrily. He lifted a handsome golden-haired young man sitting beside him by his collar and yelled to his face furiously, "Was this what you meant by no resistance? Do you know how many ace mechas have appeared? Six…"A person who was in charge of monitoring the battlefield turned to his captain in fear and shouted, "Captain, another five ace mechas appeared."
With 11 ace mechas, even four vanguard ships would not be able to subdue them. They needed to have more battleships or have the same amount of ace mechas as their opponents in order to defeat them. However, they didn't have either.
The captain almost vomited blood. "11?" He threw the golden-haired young man aside. He looked agitated as he said, "No, I can't let my babies die here. I need to leave immediately."
"Captain Gao Luji, you accepted a mission." The golden-haired young man didn't get angry even though he was treated badly by the captain. He frowned and tidied his clothes while reminding the captain with a hint of threat.
"So what? You gave me the wrong intel. Am I supposed to let my babies die because of your mistakes? In your dreams." Captain Gao Luji was not afraid of the threat. This was his territory. He would have the final say. If the young man kept talking, he didn't mind killing him.
Malicious intent flashed before the captain's eyes. They were intergalactic pirates who lived their lives on the brink of death every day. The word loyalty was not in their dictionary.
The golden-haired young man smiled at the captain. The captain felt a chill ran down his spine. He calmed down instantly. He suddenly remembered that the bodyguards of this young man were powerful. The other party never trusted him. The mecha operators were still sitting in their ace mechas. If he dared to make a move, his starship would be destroyed by those ace mechas, becoming dust in the universe.
After the golden-haired young man noticed that the captain had calmed down, he looked at the screen. Many images were displayed on the screen. Eleven images showed the 11 ace mechas on their opponent's side.
When he saw six ace operators, he felt that things were still within his control. Gulibaduo was not an extremely important character but the Federation would still send some ace operators to protect her. However, he didn't expect the Federation to place so much importance in Gulibaduo that they sent 11 ace operators to protect her.
"We predicted that there would be around four ace mechas on the other side. Our intel was wrong. However, don't worry. We will take care of those extra ace mechas." The young man thought for a moment and replied, "But, you will take care of the other four ace mechas. Don't tell me that you can't even do this."
The golden-haired young man looked at the captain with disdain. The captain didn't like how arrogant this young man was. However, he didn't want to offend him. He didn't know the real identity of this young man but from what the middle man had told him, this young man was a powerful person. His background must be really impressive in order to have six ace mecha masters as his bodyguards.
"Hmph. As long as you can destroy the five ace mechas that just appeared, we can subdue the other six mechas," The captain replied coldly.
"Fine. If you can't handle them, just tell me." The young man left the control room after finishing his sentence.
Two muscular men were guarding the door. When they saw the young man coming out of the control room, one of them asked, "Your Highness, do you have any orders?"
"Ask the bodyguards to prepare for a fight. I will go and destroy the mechas with them in a while," The young man replied calmly.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
The muscular man's expression changed slightly. "Your Highness we can subdue the ace mechas ourselves. It is too dangerous outside. You should stay on the flagship…"
"I am not that weak! I am the only imperial member who became an ace operator at the age of 20 years old. How can I tarnish… cough… my kingdom's dignity?" The young man glared at the muscular man. He was angry that the man doubted him.
The muscular man quickly lowered his head when he saw the anger on the young man's face. "Yes, Your Highness . I am worrying too much." With six ace operators protecting him, His Highness would be fine. The muscular man thought about it and decided to let His Highness do what he wanted.
"L6-W2 calling for L6-W1."
"L6-W3 calling for L6-W1"
…
Ling Lan heard Qi Long and her other comrades calling her in their team channel. There were at different locations and with so many mechas fighting around them, it was hard for them to find Ling Lan. Hence, they decided to just call their boss.
"These are my coordinates." Ling Lan told her comrades her location. This was the first real mecha battle for Qi Long, Li Yingjie, and Lin Zhong-qing. Ling Lan believed in their ability but she still wanted to make sure that they were safe.
After receiving her coordinates, four ace mechas and a special-class mecha quickly moved towards Ling Lan's location.
Lin Zhong-qing was still a special-class operator. Although he was quite talented, he could not be compared to geniuses like Qi Long and Zhao Jun. However, Lin Zhong-qing had his advantages. Although his operation skills were not as good, he was precise. He would rarely make any mistakes. This was not an easy feat. Lin Zhong-qing was able to do this due to the teachings of his instructor, Tang Yu.
Instructor Tang Yu had the same innate talent as Lin Zhong-qing. His innate talent was not bad but not the most impressive too. However, he was able to become an elite ace operator at 30 years old and almost advanced to a peak-level ace mecha master at 40 years old due to his high precision.
Ling Lan fought with Instructor Tang Yu for many years and knew that with his strong foundation in mecha piloting and his high degree of precision, he would definitely become an imperial operator in 10 years. Based on his potential and innate talent, he should not be able to achieve this. But, he achieved this miracle by pouring in countless hours of hard work.
Lin Zhong-qing was heavily influenced by his instructor. Most people were tempted to advance to a higher level the moment they could but Lin Zhong-qing resisted the temptation. Every time he advanced, he would perfect his operation skills. Of course, Ling Lan's high expectations also helped him improved tremendously. Sometimes, Ling Lan felt that she could not be as precise as Lin Zhong-qing in terms of operations.
Ling Lan's operation was perfected through her many experiences and battles but she was not precise. Her operation was good because it was very smooth. Even if she made a mistake, people would think that it was part of her plan. She was able to think of different combinations based on different situations. This was why her operations were different every time. Overall, her precision was above average but not as perfect as Lin Zhong-qing.
No one could say which style was better among the two. Every mecha operator had their own styles and habits. The most important thing was to choose a suitable style for yourself. To Lin Zhong-qing, he was comfortable with such precise operations. There were lesser surprises but he would make no mistakes. This fitted Lin Zhong-qing's personality and his position in the team. The logisticians of the team needed to take care of various matters. There was no room for them to make any mistakes. Thus, Lin Zhong-qing started to have the habit of being precise in everything he does. This affected his mecha operation style.
The members of the Lingtian Battle Team had completely different styles from each other. Ling Lan's operation style was free and wild. She merged the methods of operation from two different galaxies. There was no fixed method for her. She would use whatever she felt was the most appropriate. Based on what her team members said, her operation style was weird and unpredictable.
Qi Long's operation style was simple and violent. As someone who respected true strength, his operation style was intimidating and oppressive. This had to do with his innate talent, which was Animal Instinct. Also, Qi Long had another amazing innate talent. Whenever his opponents thought that they had defeated him, Qi Long would always climb back up. In the end, his opponents would feel that fighting with him was like torture for them. He was like a cockroach that wouldn't die. It was too tiring to fight him. Most of the time, Ling Lan had to personally attack Qi Long and subdue him in order to save her friends from the torment.
Zhao Jun's style was direct. He liked to attack people head-on. If you think that this was his style, you are wrong. If he faced opponents that were weaker than him, he would use this style. If he faced opponents that were stronger than him… he was smart enough to sneak attacks on them. He would keep sneaking up on his opponents and pester them. He does not have any dignity and thus, would do anything to win the match. Ling Lan once said that Zhao Jun was an irritating opponent.
Li Lanfeng's health got better but at the start, due to his poor health, his style was sinister and eerie. He liked strategies and schemes too so his operations were hard to predict. In their battle team, no one wanted to spar with him. He was the second in rank in their list of opponents her team members wouldn't want to meet. The first in rank was Qi Long. Qi Long hurt them physically and mentally while Li Lanfeng purely destroyed them mentally. Every time they finished sparring with Li Lanfeng, they would feel their head hurting. They needed to use much brainpower to guess his next steps.
Luo Lang's style had a different style each time they fought. He had many personalities in his body so no one knew which personality was controlling him that day. Luckily, he couldn't change his personality casually so his team members just needed to interact with him more to identify the personality. Also, only a few personalities would change his style so her team members got used to it after a while. This was why Luo Lang was only the third in rank in terms of opponents they never wanted to meet.
As compared to these people, Han Jijyun's control was much weaker. He was still forming his own style but Ling Lan felt that he would have a more proper operation style. This had something to do with his personality. Although he liked schemes, he was a bland person.
Li Shiyu's mecha piloting skills were not bad too. The people from the Li family were all talented in mecha piloting. However, Li Shiyu's ambition was not in mecha operation so he didn't spend much time on it. Hence, he was still forming his style too.
Among the new members in the team, Han Xuya was the most talented. However, due to her physical constitution, it was hard for her to advance to an ace mecha master. She needed to put in a lot of effort and find the right opportunity. Han Xuya also knew that there were very few females who became ace mecha master so she was not in a hurry too. She listened to Ling Lan advice and focused on honing her foundation. She also remembered to practice the weird actions that Ling Lan had thought them.
As for Chang Xinyuan, he was the weakest in the team. When he finally managed to become an advanced mecha warrior, his friends already advanced to special-class operators. Some even became ace mecha masters. Chang Xinyuan gritted his teeth and told himself that he would continue to work hard to chase after them.
"Ahhhhh, why must I enter a battle team with so many geniuses?" Chang Xinyuan screamed towards the sky. No other mecha engineers managed to become an advanced mecha warrior at his age.
Overall, none of Ling Lan's team members disappointed her. This was why Ling Lan believed in them. As for Li Yingjie… was he considered part of her team? He was only a temporary member. Since he was just a temporary member, Ling Lan was too lazy to think about his style. She was a busy person. She didn't have the time to think about irrelevant people.
After Ling Lan's team members gathered together, they attacked the mechas around them under Ling Lan's command. The intergalactic pirates were violent and weren't afraid of death so they were not used to their fighting style. However, with the vicious Ling Lan leading them, they managed to get used to it after some time.
Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun had experienced real battles before so they fought smoothly. Very soon, they managed to clear a huge amount of their opponent's mechas.
