Chapter 505: 505
Ling Lan's team patiently waited for that battle team to come closer . They seemed to be calm on the outside, but inwardly they were nervous and cautious . Ling Lan had already told her team members about the countless mecha hidden around them . Everyone knew that danger was just around the corner .
Right when that 12-man team of special-class operators drew near, the team leader coldly asked, "Who are you guys?" The smallest team around here was a 12-man battle team . Ling Lan only had six mecha . That was why they felt something was weird .
Ling Lan calmly replied, "We bumped into a battle team that was hidden . We fought a huge battle and although we won, a few of our members paid the price . " Ling Lan suffused a good amount of spiritual power in those words to increase her persuasive ability .
It had to be said that it was safer for Ling Lan to combine spiritual power and persuasion compared to using only spiritual power to affect the opponent . This wouldn't get rid of someone's suspicions and make them feel a discrepancy, but instead slowly weaken an individual's suspicions and in the end, make them naturally let go of such thoughts .
There were too many people here . Ling Lan didn't have the certainty that she could affect everyone with her spiritual power . In order to not raise the suspicions of the others nearby, she could only be more careful . Even if she knew that talking more with the other party would increase the chance of being exposed, Ling Lan felt that she couldn't take that risk .
Sure enough, Ling Lan answer made that team leader's suspicions decrease greatly . In reality, he was only wondering why there would be a broken team in the area between Area Q and M . It should be known that the patrolling battle teams around them were all full teams . This was also the reason why he stopped Ling Lan and not because he really suspected they were the enemy .
Hearing Ling Lan's answer, that team leader was surprised . He quickly asked, "Where? Which military academy did you guys bump into?"
Ling Lan responded coldly, "Please forgive me for not being able to inform you of that location before I report it to my commander . In truth, I'm not sure who the opponents were!"
Ling Lan's answer angered the other side, but there were no problems with her words . Usually, when something like this happened, they would naturally make a report to their own commander first, and then let him decide whether or not to tell the allied military academies . His question was indeed over the top .
"Haha, as expected of the Second Men's Military Academy . Very disciplined," the team leader said grudgingly . He felt that he lost some pride . "However, we're all friends here . Some information should be shared, right?"
Ling Lan hesitated slightly, as though she was struggling with the thought . After a while, she replied, "It's not that I don't want to tell everyone . It's just that I really don't know which military academy the opponent was from . At the border of Area S and M, we found a suspicious team who hid their identity . When we went up to ask them about it, they suddenly attacked us . If it wasn't for that, our battle team wouldn't have been lost so many people," Ling Lan responded as she bit her lip .
The team leader looked at the 5 mecha that were following behind Ling Lan . Two special-class mechas had scratch marks on the outer mecha shell . Three advanced mechas also had a few scratches and kinks . His eyes immediately flashed with a hint of disdain . Only a battle team that was this inferior could be successfully sneak attacked by opponents . If it were his battle team, he would not have lost a single mecha and would have been able to let the opponent only come not be able to leave at all…
Having underestimated Ling Lan, he wasn't interested in asking more questions . As for the team that had entered the border, it was probably a battle team from Area S . Battle teams from Area S had already probed Area M many times . Not only had the team in front of him bumped into them, other allied battle teams had also bumped into them . All of them had losses or victories .
Thus, he said, "In that case, I won't hold you from returning to your headquarters to report to Alliance Chief Jiang . "
"Thank you for understanding!" Ling Lan let out a sigh of relief . She looked at the other party and made a hand sign to her team to move out . She then led her team members and quickly flew towards Area Q . Since they were discovered by a battle team and passed open space at the same time, Ling Lan no longer hid . They proudly flew towards the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters .
Seeing the figures of Ling Lan's battle team disappearing into the distance, one of the members of that team leader's team asked, "Captain, are you not going to remind them? If they go back, they will definitely not have a good time . " When they had come here, they received a new order . That order was that battle teams were restricted from getting close to the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters .
"This matter is related to the Second Men's Military Academy . What does it have to do with us?" the captain smiled coldly and said . That beat-up battle team didn't show him any respect, so why should he remind them? Also, that guy Jiang Shaoyu was delusional to think that he could control the entire alliance . That would depend on whether they agree or not . He was very happy to see instability within the Second Men's Military Academy . This would make it so Jiang Shaoyu wouldn't have the energy to deal with them .
The captain knew very well that even though they were allied forces, they still were cautious of each other . They were scared that they would be stabbed in the back by the allies . In the face of personal interest, who knew what the other could do . There wasn't anything like a gentlemen's promise here .
This team leader didn't think that his carefulness had actually helped Ling Lan . It had to be said that although Jiang Shaoyu had unified Area Q and M on the surface, in reality, all the allied battle teams had their own plans . They weren't truly cooperating and because of this reason, a little pest like Ling Lan had successfully sneaked through to their central area . They would hide and deal a crippling blow to the Second Men's Military Academy .
Ling Lan ran like mad all the way, got out of the encirclement and wiped away the cold sweat she had . That moment just then was the most dangerous time Ling Lan had experienced during the infiltration . However, they had unexpectedly and easily passed it . Ling Lan rejoiced greatly, but still felt terrified after the fact .
"Captain, we're getting close to the Second Men's Military Academy," reminded Li Lanfeng . He was sitting in Ling Lan's mecha's passenger seat, looking at the map to find the direction, and he found that the target was very close .
"Lanfeng, what should we do next?" Ling Lan turned around and asked . Since she wanted to develop Li Lanfeng, Ling Lan would let him perform at all times .
"We must find a place to rest up," Li Lanfeng said . "Our mecha have already been active for 18 consecutive hours . Everyone's tired . "
Ling Lan nodded in agreement . "You're right . Just tell me any recommendations you have . "
Li Lanfeng smiled and replied, "My suggestion is that we should take over the headquarters of a weaker military academy as our headquarters in Area Q . "
"Why not let us find a remote area as our area to rest?" Ling Lan asked .
"We don't know much about the situation in Area Q . Also, no one knows whether the areas that are considered to be uninhabited actually have people occupying them or not . Even if there weren't people there, if a battle team suddenly appears, it would be very unexpected . Instead, it would be better to take over a headquarters and hide in the shadows of the light . " Li Lanfeng spoke out his reason .
Ling Lan was satisfied . She used her fingers and started drumming on the control panel . She calmly asked, "Which one did you choose?"
These words of Ling Lan made Li Lanfeng let out a sigh of relief . When Ling Lan had asked that question just now, it was without a doubt a test for him . Now it seemed that he had passed . Li Lanfeng was filled with joy . He decisively pointed towards an area on the map and said, "Right here . "
"Jianqiao Military Academy?" Ling Lan had already clearly seen the area that Li Lanfeng had chosen . Her lips perked up . "Not bad indeed . "
Jianqiao Military Academy's rank in all of the military academies was on the lower side . In Area Q, they weren't the worst of the allied forces . Those who were of the lower-middle tier were not really valued by the allied forces . Additionally, they would also not be like the worst one that the allied forces would watch all the time to make sure they don't fumble the ball . Li Lanfeng's choice was made after deep and prepared thinking .
Having been acknowledged by Ling Lan, Li Lanfeng's lips involuntarily showed a hint of a smile .
Since they had decided, Ling Lan let the others and silently changed their direction, now flying towards Jianqiao Military Academy, which was a few hundred yards out from the Second Men's Military Academy . And at this time, night fell and went into the 16-hour night-time .
The commander who stayed behind to protect Jianqiao Military Academy was frustrated . He didn't think that Jiang Shaoyu would be so unreasonable and force all the allied forces to send out 80% of their headquarters' battle strength to participate in the patrol work of the entire Area M and Area Q . Looking at the two 12-man battle teams that were left in the headquarters, along with some logistics personnel, and comparing this to the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters that had five layers of military strength defending it, along with Jiang Shaoyu in the center, he became even more frustrated .
"Only the Second Men's Military Academy's headquarters is important? Are we, the other allied military academies' headquarters, unimportant and can be tossed aside whenever?" the commander thought angrily . If a battle team were to infiltrate right now, even if it were a 12-man battle team, it would still be a destructive blow to Jianqiao Military Academy . Their academy wasn't greatly capable . They had barely assembled a 12-man special-class operator battle team, but it was sent out by Jiang Shaoyu, leaving only these 2 weak and broken teams… Each battle team only had four special-class operators while the others were advanced mecha operators .
The commander felt sadder and sadder as he looked at them . He believed that unless there were no enemy battle teams that would infiltrate their headquarters, they would definitely have no way of fighting back . Those assault battle teams were all merciless fellows .
Just like that, the commander went through the daytime while being angry and frustrated . Seeing that night had fallen, the captain ordered the logistics personnel to turn on the light sources . In order to make sure they were safe, they made the headquarters light up as though it was daytime . However, it was because of this that the light sources were used up . There weren't enough light sources for the battle teams to move around to every corner of the headquarters . The two battle teams huddled up in the middle of the headquarters and didn't set up any patrols around the perimeter . Of course, looking at the strength they had left for defending their headquarters, they couldn't really spare too many people to do something like that .
"It's snowing again . " Before the sun went down, it was still a hot summer climate . After sunset, it went into dark winter and snow began to fell . The commander could not help but sigh . This crazy weather was really making it hard for them .
He looked at the logistics head and asked, "Do you think we should make some hot soup and let everyone drink some to warm their stomachs?" Although there were temperature controls in the mecha cockpit, people shouldn't stay in mecha for 24 hours . Otherwise, the mecha operators could feel sluggish due to the cramped space and this could even easily lead to a poor state of mind, such as depression and frustration . Thus, during the course of the day, they would always set a time for the mecha operators to leave their mecha and rest up .
The logistics head nodded his head and replied, "This idea is very good . We didn't hear anything odd from Area M during the day . Area Q has Area M guarding it, so we actually aren't in too much danger . We'll just let the two teams get off and eat one at a time . Nothing big will happen . "
