Tempest of the Stellar War

Both sides’ pilots entered the preparation phase, but Wang Zheng’s choice had thrown them all off.

Everyone knew that there were five pros in the Solar System that had made a name based on their physical techniques. Achilles’ organization skills, Lie Xin’s bravery, Lear’s intellect, Zhang Shan’s agility, and Wang Zheng’s might. But they had never heard of the Solar System people specializing in shooting mecha.

Especially Wang Zheng. His fearsome physical skills needed a powerful mech to reflect that. Just like in the battle with Asura, his steel had already reached their hearts. It could be said that no one was willing to enter a direct clash against Wang Zheng. At present, he had already carved an aura of invincibility.

Even a mech like the Golden Wheel Battle King in Wang Zheng’s hands was extremely frightening.

But Wang Zheng had actually chosen the Slayer. This mech was an offensive fighter. If the Golden Wheel Battle King could be said to be an excellent conduit for Wang Zheng’s Ability X, then the Slayer seemed to be quite a poor fit. Besides, although both the Slayer and the Golden Wheel Battle King had made their names through close-up fights, but they were two completely different mecha. The Golden Wheel Battle King was an unconventional approach, while the Slayer was a stickler for tradition.

This mech’s defensive abilities were too weak. Even Olivios had only used the mech on the basis of his short camouflage ability.

And now they were facing the mobile Imperial Glory battle team. Wang Zheng had actually chosen the Slayer. Whether it was the BS001 or the Phantom King, they were both the nemesis of Slayer.

What was Wang Zheng playing at???

And the biggest question was, when had he ever used the Slayer???

Sharpening a sword at the last minute against Imperial Glory was no use at all. Besides, what thinking was this? Why would he choose this mech? Even the Golden Wheel Battle King was stronger than the Slayer.

“I’m reeling as well. Am I dumb, or is Wang Zheng way ahead of the game? Even if you used your butt to think, you would know that you can’t choose such a mech!”

“It’s all a mess now. How can the Slayer do well? If I were Imperial Glory, I would let the scout and the Phantom King go ahead. Even someone with godlike abilities would lose!”

A pilot’s skills and ability would be discounted heavily in a mech. If the affinity of the mech was at a disadvantage, then the distance would further lessen. This was a known fact.

Everyone’s hearts sank after seeing Wang Zheng’s choice.

Whether they understood tactics or not, they felt it was a bad choice.

But after all, it was Wang Zheng. Anyone else, and they would have been scolded like a dog. But after Wang Zheng chose the mech, they only felt puzzled and ignorant, but not many dared to question him.

“Zhang Shan, you understand Wang Zheng best among us. Has he used this mech before in the past?” Dendi could not help asking. “Vincent, have you seen it before?”

Vincent thought about it. “I seem to recall him training it before. But Wang Zheng is interested in many mecha. I’ve never actually seen him use it in battle.”

Zhang Shan shrugged. “I don’t know either. He must have used it before. But like Vincent said, never in a formal competition. The Slayer’s attack is sufficient, and it’s more agile than the Golden Wheel Battle King. Perhaps Wang Zheng is aiming for a breakthrough.”

Vincent shook his head. “The Slayer is a little more versatile, but its attacks are rigid. Against Imperial Glory, it’s too dangerous. We can only look to Takumi and Mu Zhen and hope they can withstand the enemy’s attack.”

Dendi and Pampas clearly did not think much of it. They were not buying it at all. At least from their level, and their way of thinking, the Slayer could not save this match.

But neither thought that Wang Zheng was the kind of person to give up. At this level, someone who had entered Earth-rank at 20 years old would not know what surrender meant.

Marzu looked over at Olivios. The loss had not hit Olivios too hard. Perhaps because he had lost once before, and perhaps because of the pleasure of entering Earth-rank, Olivios was in an exceptionally good mood. As for Marzu, he seemed stressed. But to Olivios, who understood Marzu, he felt a little odd. Even when stressed, those of the Van family should not show it outwardly. But Marzu had. This seemed a little too fishy to be a cover-up.

Olivios seriously suspected that Marzu had held back in the last hit, in order to create a chance for him to break through. Of course, this was Olivios’ individual guess. It was like a riddle with no answer. At the same time, he needed one.

“The Slayer’s attack is sufficient. Actually, those with strong cultivation techniques can support the Slayer and the Golden Wheel Battle King for the same reasons. Although its attack trajectory is not as swift, its mobility and savagery are a step ahead. The Golden Wheel Battle King is suitable for bullying noobs, while the Slayer is the real pro’s choice. A pity that the Slayer, like the Golden Wheel Battle King, lacks protection at this level.”

Even Olivios, with his temporary camouflage ability, would not dare to use the Slayer at this level.

He had spent a long time adjusting himself to this. If Wang Zheng was half-baked, then it would be a dud.

But given what they knew of Wang Zheng, that did not seem likely. But Wang Zheng’s specialties were not few. Hercules, Storm Swordsman, Wind God, Golden Wheel Battle King, Phantom King, Heavenly Dragon Knight. They spanned many positions and models. When you thought about it, it was pretty frightening.

Slayer…

The Arbiters did not feel particularly pleased or honored. They were on a different level from the Manalasuo people. If Wang Zheng’s Slayer came up with some new trick, they would only feel even more pressure.

This was the same logic as with the Phantom King.

Aina quietly awaited the beginning of the fight. Huiyin, that girl. She had really left as she said. She did not know why. Perhaps girls who were infatuated were fickle. But thinking it over, perhaps it was for the best. Given time to calm down, Huiyin would be clearer if her decision had been the right one, or a moment of impulse. She had been worried at the start, but now she saw that Huiyin had really matured.

In this battle, Aina was definitely standing on Imperial Glory’s side. No matter how she felt about Wang Zheng, this concerned national honor. Before the battle, Aina had cheered them on considerably. In this battle, they had to shelve their illusory pride and seriously demonstrate the majesty of the Imperial Glory battle team. The style of Aslan.

As a fighter, they were not afraid of losing the fight. They were afraid of the fight they could not afford to lose.

10 mech pilots appeared on the battlefield. On Imperial Glory’s side, they had thought that Wang Zheng would choose a fighter mech, or at least something very similar.

Both sides advanced in a tight arc. At this level, clearly any 1 v 1 heroics were quelled. The more important the battle was, the more they would use flashy moves.

A straight-on clash, and both sides had their fears. Imperial Glory dreaded Wang Zheng, and Saruman Snake dreaded Di Maria’s ability, especially at the crucial moment. This was always on the minds of the Saruman Snake battle team. No matter whether Atlantis really was capable or otherwise, they had already achieved their aim. One could never tell if battle tactics were as straightforward as they seemed.

Both sides’ pilots approached. Very quickly, both lineups changed almost at the same time. This was getting interesting, both sides were doing something big at the same time!
