Chapter 352: Avenging Humiliation
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
The national teams arrived one after another . Some stayed at the Aslan Royal College, while some stayed at their own embassies . They were all making their final preparations for the competition .
The same was true for the Solar System team . The team led by Wang Zheng finally gathered . The team leader was not just a title . As the team leader, Wang Zheng had to give commands for battle .
"Our first opponent is out . We are against the Locke Star team, a very difficult opponent . Are you guys prepared?" Meng Ao laughed .
As the head of the entire delegation, Meng Ao specifically went to Wang Zheng to talk about it alone . It could be said that the Solar System had high hopes for their team this time around . In particular, the military reformists were represented by Meng Ao . It would be a heavy blow to them if no results were produced again this time .
Meng Ao looked at Wang Zheng . Could this young man be able to assume such a heavy responsibility? What he was more worried about was the difference between actual combat and practice, especially when psychological fear weighed in .
Wang Zheng smiled . "I am looking forward to it . "
"Do you have confidence in your first battle? The Locke Star's team is considered to be a traditionally strong team . They know all types of mecha well enough to make a targeted strategy against our chosen mecha when it comes to both attacking and defending . Having them as our first opponent is greatly disadvantageous for us . " Meng Ao laughed .
"General, we have great confidence in ourselves . Just defeating the Locke Star's team is not our end goal . " Wang Zheng said, "I want to know the specific form of the IG competition . There are rumors that it is actual combat, and some say that it is virtual simulation . "
Wang Zheng was hoping for it to be actual combat .
"There are a lot of participating countries and a large number of people, so before entering the final phases, simulation programs will be used . There will be actual combat once the competition properly starts . The specific arrangements have not yet been announced by the IG . "
Meng Ao said . Based on the circumstances in the Solar System, it would not be easy enter the actual competition .
Wang Zheng nodded . This was what he wanted to know . As for the opponent, he could only get a grasp of them upon proper contact .
The fervor for competition could be felt pervading all of Aslan . Zhang Shan and others learned that their opponents were also highly motivated . This was really a narrow road for revenge .
Only 16 teams would eventually enter the final competition . The Aslan Empire, the Atlantis Republic, the Arbiter Empire, the Manaluosuo Empire, and the Gabriel Republic . These five countries entered the final competition directly . The remaining 100 countries would compete for the remaining 11 places .
The probability of entering the final competition was tragically low . The reason why there was no choice of actual combat for the preliminaries was very simple . Actual combat could only be used to distinguish between elite pilots . Between two weaker pilots, there was just no need to do so . In fact, Aslan's simulation system would be used . In addition to the high safety factor, there was no difference in its operation as opposed to actual combat . Although Wang Zheng was the captain of the Solar System team, his influence over the Solar System was not as strong .
Due it being a sensitive period, Aina was unable to meet Wang Zheng . Moreover, as the first Princess, she had many things to sort out herself . In particular, she had to pay courtesy visits to various politicians who were in Aslan .
Wang Zheng and everyone entered the final preparation period .
Yan Xiaosu was not idle in Aslan, and through special relationships, he was sourcing for business opportunities . He was not just a tourist, he had come to support Wang Zheng . On the other hand, he had the rare opportunity to source for deals with the KING company .
Aslan Royal College was a typical aristocratic elite college . Many students came from rich families, which gave room to easy interactions and collaborations, sometimes even on the corporate level . Ye Zisu's business acumen naturally found many opportunities . However, since her main focus was on mech design, she introduced some of these business opportunities to Yan Xiaosu .
The oath Wang Zheng and Yan Xiao made when they were lying on the hillside when they were still at Dawn Middle School was finally starting to see light . At least both of them had taken a leap forward from Earth and onto a bigger stage . They might still be a small characters now, but who knew what the future will hold?
Wang Zheng did not exert his captain's status overtly . He had come to Aslan earlier to facilitate things for the team, making things more convenient since the battle was going to be held here . With so many countries, the practice times allocated to each team were also very tight . At least with his connections, he could try to fight for more practice time and mecha slots .
Things were calm as time flew past . Very quickly, three days had passed .
The Milky Way Alliance IG competition officially began . The first round included 86 countries, including strong members, like Locke's Star, Ghana, Norton Star, and so on .
The first opponent of the Locke's Star team was the Solar System team . One of the teams who consistently made it into the top ten being challenged by the Solar System Team was like a free pass to the next round .
This did not really matter to the Locke's Star team as they were strong enough to not fear any opponent, at least in the first few rounds . It was also quite impossible to run into any particularly powerful opponents .
As a star that produced numerous mercenaries, they had comprehensive technologies and excellent psychological and physical qualities . They would roll forward and suppress all enemies!
The preliminaries of the IG competition did not bar the media from participating . Apart from the media and people from their respective delegations, there were also many Aslan Royal College students .
The Solar System team and the Locke's Star team battle were certainly hot as it involved one of the ten major powers . However, this was the only exception .
The delegations of the Locke's Star and the Solar System Federation arrived and sat in their respective positions . Meng Ao did not appear . Military personnel normally only showed up once the proper competition commenced, so Gu Te led the crowds . There were a few greetings from the Locke's Star's side, but many turned up only for the sake of it, and they were seemingly impatient .
Still, there were surprisingly some Aslanian viewers, probably viewers who just wanted to watch for fun .
Si Jiali sat down quietly . She did not know why she had come, but she was here . Perhaps, deep down inside, she wanted to watch Wang Zheng battle .
At the start of the match, the captains of the two sides came forward .
Jackman arrogantly looked down on Wang Zheng with a smile of disdain . "Actually, your direct surrender would be best . It saves time for all of us and might even save you from some embarrassment . "
Wang Zheng smiled and raised his middle finger at him .
