Tempest of the Stellar War

Zhang Shan worriedly tore at his hair. This d*mned mass was all his fault. If he had known, he would not have come on. He should have insisted.

In order to let Vincent extract himself from battle, Snow Li had allowed herself to be targeted by Jian Zihao. She had flashily used her best move. But such an obvious move had naturally been avoided by Curter. As a Hail Cloud person, Curter of course understood that he could not take that hit. Vincent successfully extricated himself, but Snow Li was being pinned down by repeated attacks from Rulf.

Rulf was also imbued with Frost Ability X. Although he had spent at least half his strength, but he relied on a constant barrage of precision shots, which landed neatly on Snow Li’s energy shield. He was always a step away from destroying Snow Li’s mech. Now, Snow Li’s mecha was in a precarious state. Snow Li without her energy shield was much less of a threat. And her Ability X needed at least 10 minutes to recover, and this match clearly would not drag on for such a long time.

Saruman Snake Battle Team, had more oil thrown on the fire.

At that moment, Icefire Battle Team’s suppressive formation had already been completed. They immediately pushed through the middle. To Saruman Snake Battle Team, they would either die slowly or quickly. There were no other choices.

And Jian Zihao seemed to not even be warm, while his Battle Team was on the verge of clinching this match.

The distance was too big.

“They’re too crappy. No wonder they’re ranked 8th. I thought it was strange that such a loose Battle Team could get in. They must have pulled strings or something.”

“Keke, actually Wang Zheng’s individual ability is not bad.”

“Nonsense. What use is that? He can’t hold a candle to Jian Zihao. As a leader, he sure led his Battle Team like shit. If it was me, I could get the same result.”

Although they were both leaders from Earth, and leading multinational Battle Teams, Wang Zheng and Lear had a sharp contrast.

“Lie Xin, you made the smart choice.” Lear called to Lie Xin, smiling smugly.

Lie Xin was silent. She suddenly felt that Wang Zheng and Achilles were a little pitiful. Actually she understood Wang Zheng. Perhaps out of everyone here, only she understood Wang Zheng’s intent. In some ways, Wang Zheng was very like the Martians. If Zhang Shan did not go in the first round, then he would never go subsequently. Not just that, Zhang Shan would be rendered useless from then on. Sometimes, one was not afraid of the opponent, one was afraid of oneself. If he lost confidence in himself, then there would only be despair.

Even with a loss, Zhang Shan still had to go. More importantly was that Vincent and Takumi had the same problems. Their skills were not bad, but they were green, and clearly nervous. Their reactions were slower than usual by a beat. This fact was only obscured by Zhang Shan’s spectacular wash of a performance.

This was the situation that Wang Zheng faced. Lear was different. He was all business. Dynasty Battle Team was always a strong Battle Team, and all it needed was some cohesion and familiarity with each other.

This was also the reason why she had eventually chosen this Battle Team. She did not want to be one of the weak. She did not want to have to always struggle. She wanted to win, and to carve a path of victory. As one of the strong, why did she have to suffer?

Achilles had seen this possibility, but this was worse than he had imagined. They had been completely read by the opponent. Wang Zheng had indeed gambled big, and that was the way he ticked. Previously, he had admired this approach, but could not accept it. But now he was one of the Battle Team. Wang Zheng had given him this trust, and he had to live up to it, regardless of his approval.

Milo shook her head in frustration. “If you had gone, things would be different. Wang Zheng is too…”

“Milo, this was a Battle Team decision. Others can question it, but we cannot. Besides, we’re not afraid of defeat.”

Lin Huiyin’s palms were sweating. Even she knew that Saruman Snake Battle Team’s plans had been completely seen through. Those around were jeering that this Battle Team was too weak. In a Battle Team, Wang Zheng’s individual ability could not shine, and now against Jian Zihao, his combination ability was also nullified.

The Icefire combination Ability X that had brought Wang Zheng fame was completely useless on this battlefield.

Things were changing on the battlefield. Saruman Snake’s Battle Team had gone crazy. More accurately, Wang Zheng had gone crazy. The humiliation had driven him to anger, and he let loose.

They were left with 3 and a half members on Saruman Snake Battle Team. How could they hope to fight Icefire Battle Team’s full lineup?

Honestly, although their loss was destined, but if they were calm, they could draw back to the energy towers and eke for a period. This was at least tactically sound. As a commander, one could not wallow in despair.

As for Saruman Snake Battle Team’s qualification, many Battle Teams were unhappy. And now they saw that the last to enter was not always a good thing. Without sufficient power, one would just be beaten like a dog, and be shamed before the world.

The analysts were showing no mercy to Wang Zheng either. The battle tactics commentary was very serious. Wang Zheng had performed badly in all aspects, and was unsuited to be a leader.

“F*ck, I’m done watching. They’re being spit roasted like pigs. D*mn, what a waste of my great weekend!”

“Forget it, I’m tuning out.”

“Let’s go, let’s go. Or haven’t you had your fill of taunts yet?”

“At least they qualified. Couldn’t have been easy.”

“D*mn, this is an embarrassment. They might as well have not gone. Even a finance guy like myself can see their tactics are trash. Brainlessly charging. A leader? He’s compromising our school’s pride!”

Ares College was all new students now, and not many remembered Wang Zheng. Reputation was nothing. Everyone looked at ability. After so much anticipation, they had really thrown face here. It did not matter how hard the brass trumpet was blown.

“Students, as part of Ares College, we must stand together regardless of how our Battle Team performs. Believe in miracles. If even we give up now, who will endure?”

Yao Ailun exhorted. D*mn, these trash, they had no guts. Students nowadays were weak!

Back in the day, they weren’t like that!

A few Battle Teams were already laughing and chatting, clearly not paying too much attention. Hocatolin was content as well.

The Arbiters were a little disappointed. It was no secret that Olivios thought highly of Wang Zheng. It was Olivios after all, and they were convinced that Wang Zheng had some hidden plan. But now, they no longer held their breath.

“Leader, looks like Wang Zheng has slid backwards.”

Olivios laughed, a laugh so strange that Beo felt his hairs stand on end.

Saruman Snake was staking everything on one last gamble. With the exception of Wang Zheng, even Vincent and Takumi were in despair. Snow Li was helpless. The confidence that had gradually built up was shattered by the cruel reality.

They were about to lose… they were still going to lose…

They were completely outclassed, and could do nothing…

Vincent and Takumi were still in fine form, but their opponents were equally good. And strength of will needed to be forged in the crucible of experience over time.

There were not many who had the experience of Wang Zheng or Olivios, or even Lear.

“Takumi, listen to my command, and charge with all you have. Vincent, after I make my move, follow me in close. Show the world your Gold Wheel!”

Wang Zheng said in a low tone.

No response.

“Believe in me!” Wang Zheng added, emphasizing each word.

Takumi and Vincent seemed to get hold of themselves a little.

From the other side, the two tanks were already charging, and one could almost see the identical contemptuous evil smiles of the twins.

“Takumi!” Wang Zheng shouted.

Takumi had steeled himself. F*ck it, since they were going to lose, he would take who he could with him.

Steel Beast charged at full power, rocketing out like a cannonball. The ground shook!

But all of this had been calculated by Icefire Battle Team. They had already seen this move before. Why two tanks?

The San brothers’ two tanks created a layered forcefield that guarded their front.

Behind, the offense had finished preparations.

RUMBLE…

It was like planets colliding. The impact took everything Takumi had. At this point, the only choice left was to trust Wang Zheng.

The only choice was to trust.

But in the end… Desolate Steel Beast’s strongest charge was blocked by the combined powers of the San brothers.

Regardless of earthquake or collision, it was all blocked by the San brothers. Because they split the impact, both tanks’ energy shields still had about 50% left.

This was a thrashing!

This was despair!

Saruman Snake Battle Team was finished. This was completely different form the first two losses. They had even lost the pants they wore.

And suddenly, everyone noticed the Sky Rocket Cannon from Overlord!

What use did it have!

Icefire Battle Team was experienced. They skirted the center. Since they had 2 tanks, they were unafraid. It would be enough to block it.

At such a point in time, even Olivios could not help. Even if Wang Zheng could block the attacks, he still needed a Battle Team. Only Vincent was left, and a fragile Snow Li. Was he trying to punish himself?

Olivios gave a chilling smile. “Let me see what else you have mastered.”

Overlord seemed to land on the ground. At least, everyone thought so.

But the strangest thing happened.

The already doomed Overlord actually managed to move in an arc…

F*ck, how much energy was needed to change one’s direction like that?

Curter was completely nonplussed. The Overlord… how could it be heading towards him???

Shit.

BOOM…

The Slayer immediately exploded.

The Overlord had then landed on the ground!

But Rulf had already taken aim at the Overlord. At this distance, his Ability X would probably only suffer a 20-30% decrease in potency, but an experienced pilot’s goal was to lock him down, because the other 3 had already leaped towards Wang Zheng.

Looking to die?

But Overlord extended its arms, and the spear and shield rumbled.

Sh*t, Ability X!

BOOM…

Frost!

Freezing Hell!

The terrifying Frost Seal Ability X suddenly exploded out. At the same time, Wang Zheng called out “Vincent!”

The San brothers’ bodies immediately rigidified. Their two mecha were locked down. Even Rulf’s Frost Arrow mecha, which was a distance away, was locked down.

But…

A scene which made one lose all hope. Jian Zihao, Berserk Mode!

With a wild roar, the Berserker charged towards Overlord, brushing past all of the control. Besides, the Ability X could not cause any damage to Jian Zihao.

Crazy Zerg strikes back!

But what happened next was something that nobody could have imagined.

The Overlord stood its ground.

Like running into a mountain!

BOOM…

Berserker, in full offense mode like an enraged tiger, had actually been stopped.

Snap.

But the Overlord’s war shield had actually broke under such powerful continuous attacks!
