Without question, Achilles was someone who was capable and could see the big picture. Against the mighty Imperial Glory Battle Team, he had prepared meticulously. Only, a majority were looking towards Imperial Glory Battle Team’s impressive new leader, Di Maria. The Aslan imperial family’s favored supporter, and one of the four major families of Aslan. True nobility, and his family had been hailed as the future of the planet. Among the younger generation, there was him and Aurora. Similarly, Aurora was performing extremely well in the Galaxy Military College, but his cousin was even more impressive.
This was someone definitely stronger than Hocatolin. In truth, Hocatolin was already very strong. This person rarely came out into the public eye. His public exposure was even less than Aurora’s. How would the first match be?
Achilles did not care who his opponent was. In a situation with no information, he could only manage his own Battle Team’s performance. Proving themselves in this match would be a win for them.
The map choice was a subterranean battlefield. This second iteration’s unique point was the varied and complicated terrains. It was no longer a simple city battlefield. One side could choose the battlefield, while the other could choose to attack or defend.
A subterranean battlefield was difficult for them, but also for the opponent. Achilles was willing to use this logical approach. Everyone expected Imperial Glory to choose to defend. Defense was much easier in a subterranean terrain, but Imperial Glory Battle Team chose to attack.
It was a little unexpected. But perhaps it was an emotional choice. A new leader had to prove himself. But Saruman Snake Battle Team had been champions in the last season. Did he have to be so arrogant?
If they slipped up, it would be a big disgrace.
But Aslan did not dwell on this. The moment the battle started, Achilles unexpectedly chose a group ambush. He had no intention of using the terrain advantage to fight, but would build his own advantage in one swoop.
But the battle ended in a completely weird manner. The Aslan people seemed to already know their opponent’s plans. They beat them at their own game. They were completely prepared, and left Saruman Snake Battle Team with no chance, eliminating them.
Given the knowledge of the Battle Teams’ abilities and understanding, once tactics were exposed, the result was predictable.
In the second season, Saruman Snake Battle Team was immediately beaten down from the get go.
Aina had a smile on her face. This was only natural. Di Maria had already become the new idol in school, with a head of brilliant, blond curls, handsome features, and a stout body. Of course, these did not count for much. What was important was his charisma. This was something that genetics did not bring. Aslan nobility’s qualities were embodied perfectly in him. This was also something that Hocatolin could not hope to compete with. That little smile was extraordinarily sexy and captivating.
This match was a brilliant victory. It undoubtedly brought him much popularity, and also raised the ratings of Imperial Glory Battle Team above Kill God Battle Team, to attain the position of the number one hot topic.
And Saruman Snake Battle Team had fallen into a valley. No one harbored much hope for this Battle Team without Wang Zheng.
“Huiyin, what’s wrong with you?” Everyone was in high spirits, but Aina noticed that beside her, Huiyin was in a daze.
“Oh, nothing. I’m glad that everything’s fine.”
Aina could not help laughing. “What do you mean everything’s fine? We won, you should be happy.”
“I am happy. Don’t you see me smiling?”
“Are you worried about him?” Aina suddenly asked. Ever since Wang Zheng had left for the school training, Huiyin had been distracted. This girl was at the age to get crushes.
Huiyin nodded, then shook her head. Honestly, she did not know how to say it and she could not say anyway. This was a national issue. Her mother, let alone her, would be bound to silence. National interests transcended all else.
Although Huiyin did not care much about politics, Aslan’s intentions to invade had never failed before. She understood her mother’s view. They did not do things half-heartedly. They would move with all their power. How could Wang Zheng hope to hold out? Although such a move was not a direct attack, Huiyin felt horrible. She just hoped that nothing bad would happen to Wang Zheng.
“Sis, why must people fight? Isn’t it great when we all get along happily?”
Aina smiled, and caressed Huiyin’s soft and lustrous locks. She did not know when Huiyin’s hair had grown out.
“You go ahead and be happy. Everyone makes their own choices. As long as it’s your own choice, don’t worry about the rest.”
Huiyin nodded patronizingly. Saruman Snake Battle Team had lost without too much regret. Their loss was no surprise. Without Wang Zheng, the other members seemed to have lost heart.
Without their mastermind, everyone seemed to lack some mental energy. Zhang Shan was also frustrated. When Wang Zheng was around, they had not felt it, but in his absence, they felt hardships everywhere.
At that moment, on the far away Tita Star, the Titan God did not respond to the citizens’ cheers. The space troopers started to enter the city. Fleet after fleet of cargo ships prepared to take flight at any moment. Tita Star’s troops had surrendered without much resistance. The gap was too stark, and there was no need.
But the two super soldiers – one was dead, one injured. It exceeded everyone’s expectations, and this gave Mu Lei a glimmer of light. Winning this battle would not be a sheer walkover.
But this resistance, in truth, was not worth a hoot.
The Tita Star giant army had already assembled near the super-gravity energy ore. The thousand strong human mecha group were just there to plug the gaps in the teeth. These 10,000 giants were what Tita had spent their two years of effort into creating – a developed giant army. They were no longer the club-wielding aboriginals of the past, but with excellent giant armor, large shields, and long spears. They were extremely suited to the situation of Tita. Under Rara Durai’s leadership, their morale was high, and coupled with the bravery of the Tita people. No matter who the enemy was, they would fight to the last.
In space, some tens of kilometers away was where the Alliance’s cargo fleet would descend. The big war was about to break out, and the Tita people’s previous resistance had already been shattered. To the allied forces, this seemed like a leisurely game, and they were merely here to bully some dull-headed aboriginals.
And in the dense forest hid the giant mecha army, personally led by Rara Durai. This was their trump card. Although their numbers were not large, but they were the strongest offensive that the giants would mount.
Wang Zheng did not come, and could not come. Although he clearly knew that today could be the full scale offensive by the enemy, he had to stay at the presidential palace.
Because Facaul would come.
Hannibal had actually died. This was something that Facaul found unimaginable. Of course, dead was dead. That did not matter, but he had fallen to a 20-year-old student who had actually beaten an Earth-rank fighter. Such a person could not be left alive.
Facaul’s challenge was something that Wang Zheng could not refuse.
Mu Sen refused to leave. This was already the final battle to the death. Others could leave, or have a plan B. He had none. As the first chairman of the Tita people, if all this went wrong, he would pay with his death.
