Chapter 964 - Does This Count as a Strategy?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As it was concerning the top team from the previous round, everyone’s interest was slightly higher. Sartes’ team was also full of ambition. Sirius Star was also a perfect match with the Darkness Empire. The styles of the two countries were similar. Logically speaking, they should be rather adverse to each other. However, they shared a similar point, and that was their ambition.
The strongest member would become the captain, and they would fulfil their ambition together. This had allowed them to reach a consensus instead.
Whether it was Sartes or Chevalana, both of them were fully interested in defeating Wang Zheng and wanted to gain this honor. It was especially so if they could do it in front of the entire Milky Way Alliance. Ever since they arrived here, they had fallen in love with everything here.
As long as they were strong, fame and interests were just so easily attainable. Their respective countries had already made the promise that as long as they had outstanding performance, once they graduated, this would be seen as a military accolade and they could start directly as high ranking military officers. They were also free to choose the department.
“Can everyone see this? Every member of Dark Wolves is filled with blood thirst of a wolf. They have already made preparations for their hunt. In the new season, the Dark Wolves battle team is full of killer instincts. They possess the strongest team attacks and killer instincts among all the battle teams!” said Xue Yue. Since achieving a draw with Asura battle team, the Dark Wolves battle team had garnered a sizeable number of supporters.
Saruman Snake battle team was... very peaceful. Oli was a new recruit. Whether it was Takumi or Zhang Shan, they didn’t have any advantage in any lanes. The battleground was even in the city. No one knew why they had made such a choice. However, after giving it much thought, only a city battle would be convenient for a head-on confrontation.
However, other than Wang Zheng having an advantage, the rest didn’t have many advantages. The crucial thing was that why would the Dark Wolves battle team want to fight you at their respective lanes? All they had to do was press ahead aggressively.
“Wang Zheng’s return has stabilised the mind of the team. I can see that everyone is very composed. Let us see what strategies Wang Zheng has when facing such a situation!” said Ka Tao. He was still a deep believer of this. Wang Zheng always had some mysterious strategies. Whether it was during the match with Asura, where he completely stimulated the full potential of each member and created a miracle, or the highly targeted strategies against other teams, he had indeed done a very good job. Ka Tao believed that Wang Zheng as a battle strategy captain was only below Pampas.
The battle begun.
Mech warriors from both sides entered the field. Within and outside Roland, cheers were everywhere. The Dark Wolves battle team had continued with their line-up from the previous match, a standard aggressive press ahead line up.
Sloughberg was the scout, Woolf as heavy mech, Sartes and Chevalana as free warriors, and a new recruit, Gulas. Seeing the new recruit, everyone was getting a little excited. This was also a “freshmen” from Darkness Empire. He had chosen a relatively rare mech from Darkness Empire – Abyssal.
When the Dark Wolves battle team got on the field, there was a rush of killer instincts sweeping across the battlefield.
At the side of Saruman Snake battle team...
It seemed that they were going to go all out. Zhang Shan was the scout and so was Oli. Takumi was the heavy mech and so was Mu Zhen. Together with Wang Zheng’s Storm Swordsman, that made up the whole team.
What was worth taking note of was that Wang Zheng had chosen the dual blade for the Storm Swordsman this time.
The Giant mech was indeed a size bigger than the rest. This would also mean that its agility and mobility had to be very poor.
With the heavy armor at the front blocking the enemy and the scouts flanking, coupled with Wang Zheng’s individual ability, they could indeed put up a fight. However, frankly speaking, they had not experienced the terrifying impact of the Dark Wolves battle team.
“If Wang Zheng is intending to fight head-on, he will lose without a doubt,” Marzu remarked suddenly.
Olivios, who was beside him, nodded his head. He was also confused as to why Wang Zheng would choose a head-on confrontation stance. This type of “recklessness” seemed to be beyond expectation.
Achilles and Lie Xin, who were watching the match in their wards, looked at each other. It seemed... things had gotten out of hand.
However, thinking about it clearly, other than this, what else could be done?
Lear’s face finally revealed a rare, dazzling smile. Truthfully speaking, he had also become a little neurotic because of Wang Zheng. He even wondered how Wang Zheng’s luck could be so good that he managed to resolve that kind of unsolvable situation on Tita Star and emerge safely. His luck was so good that it made Lear felt disgusted. For this time, he finally got to see Wang Zheng at his wit’s end.
“Boss. After Saruman Snake loses, we can take the opportunity to contact Achilles and Lie Xin. This will completely cause the Saruman Snake battle team to break apart.”
Lear nodded his head faintly. As long as he could make Achilles and Lie Xin leave the team, no matter where they go, the skill level of the Saruman Snake battle team would fall to rock bottom. If they couldn’t replenish their members, they wouldn’t be fit to remain in the Greatest King Competition. In this way, he would lose even the rights to compete. Without a doubt, this was Lear’s goal. Moreover, whoever Wang Zheng was interested in, he would also try to poach them before Wang Zheng.
Competing with Wang Zheng had already become a pastime for Lear. Sartes had close combat ability that wasn’t inferior to Olivios’. Moreover, he wasn’t as dumb as Olivios to insist on an individual fight. The people of the Darkness Empire were simply chasing victory and wouldn’t give Wang Zheng a chance.
The 10 mecha from both sides had all headed directly to the middle of the battleground. For the Dark Wolves battle team, it was natural. They didn’t have to separate themselves in team battles and were fond of others team battling with them. However, what was Saruman Snake battle team doing?
Ka Tao was also dumbfounded. Before the match, he was talking about how Wang Zheng would have some thought and strategy. Yet that so-called strategy was... surprisingly to just charge ahead?
Mourning soldiers would always win?
He couldn’t be that low and childish, right? This was like throwing meat buns at a dog.
The expressions on the faces of the students of the Elite Academy were rather awkward. How should they put it? They wanted to cheer and wanted to scream to raise the morale and confidence. However... they had witnessed the team battle abilities of the Dark Wolves battle team. With just the current line-up of Saruman Snake battle team...
Would this be really fine?
“Heracles, this Wang Zheng is a little disappointing. Although he can’t make something out of nothing, the battle strategy should at least not be like this,” said Di Maria. With Di Maria’s status and age, he was definitely considered as a more appropriate suitor for the two princesses. If he were to chase after them, there would definitely not be any objections in the country. Moreover, Di Maria was indeed interested in Her Highness Aina. With his status and strength, he didn’t need to come to this place to prove himself at all. The reason why he was here was to showcase himself in front of Aina.
“Di Maria, don’t underestimate your opponents. I understand Wang Zheng. He is a man who doesn’t know how to give up,” said Aina softly.
The surrounding people were shocked... Since when did Her Highness Aina understand Wang Zheng?
The truth was that even Aina didn’t notice the “errors” in her words.
Aina felt that she had encountered some issues recently. From time to time, Wang Zheng’s smiling face would appear in her mind. However, it must have been caused by her care for Huiyin. After all, Huiyin should have some good feelings about him.
Huiyin was hiding in a corner, clenching her small fist. She didn’t know how to face Wang Zheng exactly. However, she could not resist and had sneaked out. When all she heard was ridicule and doubt being smothered on Wang Zheng and Saruman Snake battle team, Huiyin just felt the urge to retort. However, she could only hide in a corner like this. Wang Zheng would definitely win.
Perhaps at this moment, the number of people who still believed Saruman Snake battle team would win was just 1.5.
One of them was Lin Huiyin and the other half was Lear.
Lear was just being neurotic as a result of the torments of Wang Zheng. He stared at the line-up of Saruman Snake battle team without blinking.
That was clearly a team battle, right? However, why did he do that?
Impossible! That brat Wang Zheng was very sly. His brain wasn’t retarded to this extent. There was definitely a ploy!
Oli, Zhang Shan, Takumi together with a silly, large guy. With such a handicapped line-up, they definitely had something up their sleeves unless they were sick.
Unknowingly, Lear suddenly got flustered. Luo Fei, who was by his side, had felt something. However, he didn’t dare to make a sound.
Sartes’ team was advancing and observing their opponents at the same time. Sartes wasn’t silly. Although Saruman Snake’s line-up was pieced together, Wang Zheng was still an expert. He had already watched all the matches in the first round. This was a guy who was great at raising the morale of the team. Moreover, he often took others by surprise. Despite them knowing that the Dark Wolves was unbeatable in team battles, they had surprisingly still charged ahead. There was likely some plot in this.
The two teams were calculating like this and had surprisingly gotten closer and closer. Soon, they entered the field of vision of each other.
Without decreasing their speed, both sides clearly hadn’t used their full strength. By keeping the options open, they could react to sudden changes accordingly. Saruman Snake surprisingly did not have any other plans and would just charge ahead like this?
Everyone’s nerves were tight. This was because they would know the answer soon. The last period of time for them to change formation and the last opportunity!
Saruman Snake suddenly accelerated. Indeed, Saruman Snake battle team wouldn’t dare to fight head-on at all. Just when the distance between the two sides was 50 meters, Zhang Shan was the first to take action. The magnetic force source was thrown out. At the same time, the Wind God mech connected in the air... One warp... two warps..... three warps...
What was this about?
He went straight for the roof when he just started and even used up all of his abilities?
As for Takumi’s Metallic Wilderness Beast, it was simpler. With a direct shockwave cannon, he crashed into a building directly.
As for Oli, she suddenly stopped and remained at her position.
What the hell was this strategy?
Sartes and all the members of the Dark Wolves battle team were stunned for a moment. Truthfully speaking, they had to pause for a moment. What the hell was this?
One of them had just stopped moving in her position, one of them had crashed into the wall, and the other had flown into the sky. Were they taking them as silly idiots?
Were they trying to mock the entire Milky Way Alliance?
Recalling those arrogant words from Wang Zheng before the match, the Dark Wolves battle team was ignited in an instant.
“Kill them!” Sartes ordered.
At this very moment, Mu Zhen’s heavy armour Giant mech rushed forward.
The momentum of the Giant meh was indeed frightening. However, it was just the momentum. Having a large stature at this level was nothing for an expert. Moreover, he was just part of a group of outdated barbarians. Being physically stronger wasn’t always useful.
In just the blink of an eye, the massive giant mech suddenly rushed over like a gust of hurricane.
Wind attribute Ability X???
A giant that knew Ability X?
HOOTA!!!!!!!!!!
What great speed, what terrifying speed!
However, what use was there!?
A cold smirk appeared on the faces of the members of the Dark Wolves. Sloughberg – Darkness Curtain!
historical
Chevalana’s group Enrage!
All the members of the Dark Wolves battle team crowded ahead like a pack of wolves hunting their prey!
In the Giant mech, Mu Zhen closed his eyes. Darkness wasn’t scary. Giants could sense the wind. Wind was free and could never be bounded by darkness.
HOOTA!!!!!!!!!!
With a loud roar, the Giant mech leapt into the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground. The members of the Dark Wolves battle team immediately dispersed. What use did this stupid movement have? The bigger you were, the faster you were going to die. Did this barbarian think that he was chopping wood in an ancient forest?
Rumble...
The Giant mech smashed the ground fiercely and suddenly. A storm rushed out like a surging high waves. Indiscriminate Storm Bind. All the mecha around him were bounded instantly.
