“It’s Mai Jia!” The members from Luo Qi’s team shouted in surprise.

It was indeed Mai Jia. When he noticed that the ace mechas were charging at him with seemingly no regard for their life he knew something was amiss, so he stopped his technique halfway through and moved his mecha half a second earlier. This half a second allowed him to edge away from the brink of death.

Ever since the start of this war, the members of the God-Killers had been having a smooth time. They were never really in any serious danger. They were also the most powerful mecha clan in Hailiya so they never really tasted defeat before. Yet, today, two of their mechas were destroyed and one mecha was half-paralyzed.

“Bastards, kill those trash! Also, don’t give them a chance to self-destruct.” Luo Qi was furious. Ever since he became a regiment commander, he had never been humiliated like this before. Those trash that he looked down on destroyed three of his mechas. Additionally, he didn’t know if the mecha operators of the destroyed mechas were still alive. He was indignant about his situation. To wash away this embarrassment, he must kill all these mecha operators in the most brutal way possible. That was why Luo Qi gave the order.

That’s right, up until now, the mecha operators from God-Killers were just playing with their opponents. They were just fighting with the goal of having fun but, from this moment onwards, they would fight with all their might.

To the members of team 02 and team 08, it was like the god of death finally taking out its scythe and was inching it towards their necks.

“Leader Yang, did you see anything?” Gu Dongyang frowned as he looked at his radar. They were only three minutes late but they had lost all signs of the imperial operators.

“No. However, based on the map Leader Li gave us, they should be in this direction.” Yang Mingzhi compared the map Li Lanfeng gave them and felt that they were heading in the right direction.

“Let’s go further in front and take a look.” Gu Dongyang shoved his concerns to the back of his mind and operated his mecha forward.

‘If Leader Li is right, our regiment commander should be coming towards them from this direction. Is there enough time for us to reinforce our regiment commander? Do they have too few people?’

“Are you thinking that we have too few people?” Yang Mingzhi read Gu Dongyang’s mind.

“Yes. If we are discovered, regiment commander will be in danger,” Gu Dongyang replied.

“Normally, even 30 mecha clans might not be able to conquer a base that has a good defense system and manpower. However, our regiment commander only brought eight mecha clans with him, six of them are not from our base and Song Yiqing has a grudge against our regiment commander. No matter how you look at it, the mission of snatching supplies from our enemy’s base is equal to a suicide mission. If so, why would the scaredy-cat Song Yiqing agree to follow our regiment commander for this mission?” Yang Mingzhi asked calmly.

“Our regiment commander must have persuaded him,” Gu Dongyang replied after some thought.

‘Persuaded? I think threatened is a better word.’ Yang Mingzhi smiled. He continued, “That could possibly be the reason. Another possibility could be because Song Yiqing knew that he won’t die.” Yang Mingzhi had only followed Ling Lan for one year but he knew that Ling Lan wasn’t someone who liked to take risks. If she made a decision, it meant that there was a high chance it would succeed.

Gu Dongyang went into deep thought after hearing what Yang Mingzhi had said. He seemed to have understood something. “Leader Yang, are you saying that our regiment commander is confident that they won’t be found by our enemy? Or only a small portion of the enemy will find them?”

“If not, they won’t be able to come out of Hailiya’s territory and we won’t be reinforcing them.” Yang Mingzhi took a deep breath. There was a small number of enemies but they were dangerous. He was worried that these enemies were those imperial operators that appeared secretly on the battlefield of Planet Haijiao.

These imperial operators were the reason why the Federation lost so many bases in such a short timeframe. Of course, there were other reasons why they lost so many bases such as the commanding officers of the bases panicking after losing contact with the Federation and didn’t contact with their surrounding bases in time. The enemy made use of this window of time to attack them. But, it was undeniable that without these imperial operators, the bases wouldn’t have fallen so quickly. They would be able to withstand for a longer period of time and Base 013 wouldn’t have to have such a hard time.

“No matter what, let’s hurry over.” Gu Dongyang was still worried about Ling Lan, so he pulled his throttle and increased his speed once again.

Yang Mingzhi followed him and increased his speed too. Their team members also increased their speed and caught up with their team leaders.

After fighting with Jia Na for so long, Yao Jian finally reached his limit. Under his opponent’s continuous attack, he was finally hit and his mecha flew backwards.

The huge impact injured him internally. He spat a mouthful of blood on the screen.

‘Have I reached my limit already?’ Yao Jian smiled in despair, as he wasn’t able to break through his limit. He looked at his opponent as he chased after him with a giant sword that was coming towards him.

“Even if I go to hell, I’ll bring someone with me!” Yao Jian went berserk. His fingers suddenly increased in speed so much that there seemed to be afterimages of fingers moving across the control panel.

Yao Jian’s mecha twisted its body and the giant sword just barely scraped his mecha’s chest, managing to evade the lethal blow. Jia Na was dumbfounded but before he could attack again, Yao Jian’s mecha suddenly hugged him tightly.

Yao Jian pressed the self-destruct button without any hesitation. At the same time, he pressed the ejection button.

“Leader, Old Yao will be leaving first.” Before his mecha exploded, Yao Jian shouted into the channel.

Boom! A huge explosion occurred as Yao Jian’s mecha burst into flames. Jia Na was unable to break free as Yao Jian had hugged his joints. Hence, his mecha exploded too and became a pile of ruins. It hit the ground, forming a huge hole around 50 meters in diameter.

“Yao Jian!” Liu Furong’s eyes turned red. There were tears in them. He was prepared for sacrifices but the death of Yao Jian caused him great agony and pain.

“Deputy Leader Yao!” All the members of team 02 screamed in grief and anger.

“Deputy Leader Yao!” The members of team 08 were sad too.

The two teams all turned crazy. Soon, more explosions could be heard. The members of team 02 and 08 chose to self-destruct out of spite to drag down more people with them.

“Leader Yang, did you hear sounds of explosion just now?” Gu Dongyang, who was flying in front, asked curiously.

Yang Mingzhi heard the sounds too. He signaled for all his members to stop flying. When the sound of the engines disappeared, the sounds could be heard more clearly.

“This is bad. Everyone, hasten your speed.” Yang Mingzhi’s expression changed. If he was right, those were the sounds of mecha self-destructing. He had been through many battles, so he was extremely familiar with this sound.
