The situation this time was once again different, and the Golden Wheel would be facing the Hail Cloud Empire. Would the Ability Xs of the Hail Cloud Empire cause a disturbance for Wang Zheng?
The Hail Cloud Empire all chose their mecha, including Snow Lee herself. All of them chose mecha that leaned towards defense, and she herself had chosen the Ice Bear King mech.
This was considered slightly lighter amongst the tank-type mecha, while it still possessed an extra strong energy shield.
Everyone was also speechless after seeing the choices of the Hail Cloud Empire. Must the battle arrangement of both sides be so exotic?
There was not a single heavy armor on the Solar System Federation side, all of them were brittle, so brittle that it was a complete mess. As for the other side, it was extremely hardy. Almost all of them were tank types, so they were awfully heavy and cumbersome.
What was going on?
The Hail Cloud Empire, who had always relied mainly on attacking, was going to play defensively and counter attack?
Looking at the battle formation of the Solar System Federation, it seemed quite challenging for them if they wanted to break through the defense of the battle formation of the Hail Cloud Empire.
It would be a test of the IQ and strategy amongst the two team leaders.
During the preparation of the competition, Snow Lee underwent some simple treatments. It seemed that the pride of the Snow Country had no intention of giving up.
The first team battle of the IG was about to begin. All the participating players were transported over to the battleground quickly using helicopters.
This was a forested area of a military base. The mecha that were going to be used for the battle were all well prepared, and the terrain was unfamiliar to both sides. However, the distance between the two parties was only two kilometers. Even if the terrain was complicated, it was also not a problem as the two parties were almost directly exposed and easily detected under radar.
It was impossible to even think of launching an ambush or sneak attack.
The warriors of both sides entered their mecha one after another. They were waiting for the battle to begin.
During the waiting time, the Solar System Federation also simply put into order their tactics all at once. Looking at the choices of the Hail Cloud Alliance, they knew that their opponents were terrified.
There were more than 10 helicopters in the end to monitor the whole battle situation. Everyone who was in the stadium was able to view the battle from many different angles, so they would not miss any marvelous scenes.
It was just that it was unexpected for the majestic Hail Cloud Alliance to be terrified to such an extent. Facing the Solar System Federation team, they had actually all chosen defensive type mecha… what’s more, they even withdrew near to their energy source. They were planning to turtle shamefully!
Even the representatives of the Hail Cloud Empire who were present were also slightly embarrassed. Even though in terms of tactics there was nothing much to be terrified about, this indeed caused them to not feel as exhilarated as they would have been otherwise.
It would had been alright for them to be like this if they were facing Atlantis. But facing the Solar System Federation team, this was pretty unnecessary. Even though they had lost two rounds, there was no need for them to lose their momentum too.
However, it was evident that Snow Lee was unmoved, and her team members also completely obeyed her commands. This was probably what the prestige of Snow Lee could achieve. For other teams, such terror would usually cause the team members to fall apart, not leaving any fighting strength left.
The terrain was not too complex. The Parsons Falcon mech of Meng Tian came with the best systems when it came to detecting opponent mecha. And as the sniper, all the information on the battlefield would be passed to her and subsequently she would relay any information to the rest of the team appropriately.
“Wang Zheng, the people of the Hail Cloud are really just lying near their energy source tower. It seems that they have no intention of attacking.”
Meng Tian said. The opponents’ mecha were standing in silence; it seemed that they were waiting idly for opportunities.
“Let’s attack them! They more terrified they are, the better it is for us to display our skills!” Zhang Shan roared. He was already unable to wait any longer.
“There is no such thing as an absolute defense. It would be beneficial for us to attack. However, to prevent them from playing any tricks, we should still be careful, and we should especially take note of their Ability Xs.”
Lear said. They should had brought Luo Fei along. The ability of that guy when it came to scouting was better, while Zhang Shan was completely useless.
As long as the opponent did not mount a sneak attack, they would have a chance of victory. The advancement of the Solar System Federation team towards the enemies was not fast, as this was to ensure that no one would fall into the opponent’s hands while they were advancing forward. As the battlefield range was not big, the possibility of this was indeed close to zero. And as they were entering the area of battle, Wang Zheng was also more at ease. He snapped his fingers, and Lear and Achilles had already advanced forward.
Actually, their tactics were also quite unique. Strong attacks were one method. However, the Hail Cloud Alliance was not that weak. Zhang Shan was the trump card, and his use was for sudden attacks. This meant that when the battle situation was the most intense, he would use his space warping ability to launch a long-range raid on the opponent’s energy source tower directly, and end the whole battle.
Hence, Zhang Shan did not have to bear too much responsibility for the battle.
Once the two parties entered battle, lasers started flying in every direction.
In an instant, the Hail Cloud Alliance focused their attacks and were firing at Achilles and Lear, and it caused the both of them to retreat right away.
There were limitations for Ability X, so it did not mean that they were unrivalled. Facing the dominant firepower of the opponent, it was impossible for the both of them to charge into them.
Both sides were attacking one another with lasers. And after a short few minutes, everyone found out that something was not right.
The Solar System Federation started retreating, they were completely unable to keep the situation under control!
Both Lear and Achilles were even more furious. They were actually unable to charge over. There was nothing t they could do, as the opponents had heavy armor mecha. Even though their mobility was weak, their firepower was ferocious. But the most crucial thing was that this bunch of people all had ice Ability Xs, so if you were hit, your speed would immediately be reduced. And if you were a little slow, you would immediately be bombed to death. Even your energy shield would be of no use at all! This was live ammunition and not a rehearsal, you would die when fired at from every direction!
Even though mecha research nowadays had been focusing greatly on trying their best to protect the safety of the pilots, mecha being bombarded by heavy weaponry was still very dangerous, and nobody would want to play with their life.
The battle formation of the Hail Cloud Alliance was pretty good. Under the command of Snow Lee, they were advancing forward step by step. The terrain was also not complicated; the obstacles were not enough to block their path. And they did not need speed whatsoever. They were just going to attack like this, to crush the enemies resolutely.
Lear and Achilles were definitely not bad. However, the Hail Cloud Alliance were also not rookies. Any team that had managed to enter the quarterfinals should not be underestimated, but the Solar System Federation was not as strong as they were thought to be.
Lear and Achilles had tried several times to advance, but each and every attempt forced them to retreat back to square one and even depleted their energy shields for nothing. As for Snow Lee on the opposite side, she was perfectly calm and collected in commanding her team. It was evident that she had predicted such a situation.
Calling for a team battle with the Hail Cloud team, it was all thanks to Wang Zheng who thought of it. Cold ice ability together with heavy firepower, this was the nemesis of team battles.
Being stifled by the Hail Cloud Alliance, the Solar System Federation could only retreat step by step. At this moment, flaunting brute courage would be useless. The attacks of Meng Tian were very sharp and incisive. She was definitely skilled with long distance attacks, and it also gave the Hail Cloud Alliance quite a surprise. But it would not be so easy for them to be suppressed. The firepower of one person was obviously not enough.
“Wang Zheng, we can’t continue on like this. If they advance any further forward to our backline, they will be able to attack and destroy our energy source tower forcefully with their dominant firepower. The energy shield of the energy source tower will not be able to withstand for long.”
“If only you guys could pin down the opponents for a while. Then I could try a breakthrough of forcefully using two consecutive warps. If I can make a break through, then their battle formation would break apart!”
Zhang Shan said.
This was also the initial plan they had formulated, it was just that they had not expected to be forced into such a passive position.
“Let’s try it then. Lear, Achilles, and I will keep everything under control at the front. Meng Tian, you will control the situation and try your best to cover us. Zhang Shan, as we try to attract sufficient firepower, you will go into action!”
“Don’t worry, I am waiting to make a name for myself through one match!” Zhang Shan laughed without any smiling expression. It was obvious that he was also concentrating with his full attention as the situation was not too good.
The opponents controlled their distance very well. They were not allowing the Golden Wheel to have any chance to display its skills. The laser firepower of the Golden Wheel was just so-so. If not for the freezing abilities of the opponents, they would probably have charged over long ago.
This tactic of the Hail Cloud Alliance was annoying and shameless. Even if the opponent had a terrifying ability, what use would it be if it could not be used?
After three seconds, the Solar System mecha rumbled forward. Wang Zheng was in the middle, while Lear and Achilles attacked outwards from the sides respectively. They were advancing forward relying on forceful maneuvering to dodge, and they were attacking and dodging at the same time.
It was evident that the Hail Cloud Alliance had discovered the motive of the Solar System Federation team. They dispersed their battle formation, and lasers poured down in torrents.
Meng Tian also went in front to keep everything under control at the frontline. Everything would depend on Zhang Shan now. Wang Zheng himself was also seizing the opportunity to keep everything under control. The strength of the Hail Cloud team spoke for itself, and if he wanted to show off the formidable power of the Golden Wheel, he knew that he had to close the distance.
Actually, even if they continued with 1v1 battles, it was also not likely for the Solar System Federation to continue with an upper hand. There would definitely be assurance by Lear and Achilles; however, that would still be insufficient for winning five points in total. Essentially, the problem of an unbalance in the team was still unresolved, hence choosing a team battle was the last resort. Looking at the persistent Ability Xs of the opponents, there were at least three people with D-rank and above ice abilities in the Hail Cloud Alliance, and this was unfathomable to the Solar System Federation.
Zhang Shan would have to break the siege with one move, and he would draw close with another move.
Lear and Achilles were indeed exceptional; however, the cold ice abilities had brought about great troubles for them. The energy shields were able to defend against attacks, but not the freezing energy. And once the speed of the mecha was reduced, they were in huge danger. ( Updated by NovelFull.Com)
Zhang Shan fled frantically, and the people of the Hail Cloud team also realised that and immediately attacked towards him. Without any hesitation, Zhang Shan utilized his Ability X and the figure of his mech disappeared from his opponents’ field of vision in an instant.
Naturally, the people if the Hail Cloud team knew of Zhang Shan’s ability, hence they could only add another member’s firepower to seal off Zhang Shan. Under the circumstances of dashing and dodging, he was still sealed off by their firepower. Thus, he could not get into range to warp close enough to their energy source tower.
While the opponent was focusing on him, just at this moment, Student Zhang Shan did a move that was contrary to expectation.
Retreat!
The Zhang Shan immediately turned around and ran away. Like a fish leaping and flying, he was trying frantically to escape.
This series of changes caused everyone to be dumbstruck.
Only at this moment, everyone realized one thing. The Golden Wheel of Wang Zheng was almost within range for attacking.
Snow Lee was stunned for a moment. They had been fooled!
Zhang Shan was purposely using his warp ability to attract attention.
“We’ve been had. What is fake is real and what is real is fake. This move was very smart.”
“But the purpose of doing this was to send Wang Zheng over?”
“Yes… seems like it.”
Achilles was slightly in front of Wang Zheng, while Lear was slightly behind him. The purpose of the two of them was to attract fire. However, after this round of sudden attacks, the energy shields of the two of them were almost used up.
Meng Tian was already attacking with her full strength, and her Ability X was already almost used up. She felt slightly guilty as even though it was the same ability, their opponents had a much greater influence on the battle compared to her.
The name of a top-notch team was definitely a fully justified reputation.
But the purpose of the entire team attacking was just to send Wang Zheng into optimal attacking range?
“Warriors of Hail Cloud Alliance, the main master has arrived. Defeat him and this would be our turning point in this battle!”
Snow Lee was in high fighting spirits, likewise for all the warriors of the Hail Cloud Alliance. They had all been waiting for this moment.
