Chapter 272: Face-to-Face Battle

d she not possibly know if there's a treasure map It's clear these people were duped by that cunning county magistrate of Huai County.If she weren't a member of the Wang family, perhaps she would have...The entire base became a battlefield in an instant, with collapsing buildings, downed mechs, and beams of cold light crisscrossing the sky. Everyone was caught in the meat grinder of war.

The fourth-generation mecha she controlled was very compatible with her, its responsiveness unmatched by ordinary mechas. Therefore, she moved nimbly across the battlefield, shooting down pirate mechas while also seizing opportunities to help her comrades.

Leo, on the other hand, kept trailing behind the purple mecha. It wasn't that he didn't want to attack; it was simply that the opponent's speed was too great. His beam cannon couldn't lock onto them at all. Furthermore, his heavy mecha had been destroyed yesterday, and the one he was using today, while still top-of-the-line, hadn't been properly broken in yet, leaving him lacking compared to the other.

"Master, a mecha has been following us, preparing to ambush, but its speed is too slow to lock onto Lei Xi!"

"Keep an eye on him. Is he chasing me because of Hill"

Ripples immediately issued the command.

"Yes, Master!"

Behind the ripples, Hill saw the situation through the screen in front of him. He clenched his fists and watched his classmates who were wreaking havoc around them. He was very envious, but he knew his own circumstances very well, so he pursed his lips and didn't speak to disturb their journey.

The ripple-manipulating mech abruptly braked in mid-air, turning to face the pursuing mechs. She wasn't going to run with a tail chasing her, so she chose to strike first.

Leo saw the opponent stop and seemed to be charging towards him. He immediately licked his lips, revealing a bloodthirsty killing intent, and accelerated towards the purple mecha.

The ripples of his divine sense had pierced through the opponent's mech, revealing that the one piloting it was the owner of the black heavy mech from yesterday. He immediately understood why the other party had been relentlessly pursuing him.

At this time, the spirit awareness as fine as a hair instantly transformed into a cowhair needle, piercing the opponent's brow and shattering their spiritual sea.

"Ouch!"

Leo couldn't hold back and cried out in pain. The mech he was controlling froze mid-action, suspended in the air, before being blasted to the ground by a ripple of energy beams.

The ripples made no pause, instead charging back into the heart of the battle. At this time, Master OuYang was surrounded by ten Star Pirate mechs, and he was fighting desperately to resist.

Their distance was too close; she feared harming him, so instead of firing the energy beam cannon, she gripped her Lightning Sabre and charged.

Ou Yang had been on the battlefield and was a seasoned veteran, but facing ten mecha at once proved to be a challenge. The pirates' attacks were disorganized and lacked a cohesive strategy, making it difficult for him to effectively counter them. He was struggling to hold his ground, but their haphazard approach also presented an opportunity. Moreover, his mecha was custom-made and perfectly suited to his fighting style, significantly boosting his attack efficiency.

So, while Ouyang dodged left and right, he seized the opportunity to attack, giving his opponent no chance to counter. At that moment, a mech rushed over. He raised his hand and fired a shot at the control room of the mech's chest. After confirming the hit, he turned to deal with the attack from the other side.

Who would have known this mecha would suddenly separate into two parts, with the upper half falling after being attacked, while the lower half seized the opportunity to wrap around OuYang's mecha leg and drag it downwards.

Ripple arrived at this moment, she gripped Lei Yao and with a direct side slash, cut off that half of the mech. Ou Yang also stabilized his figure.

Ouyang immediately turned and kicked sideways, sending the remaining part of the Star Pirate clinging to his mech leg flying. He then used the momentum to kick another Star Pirate out of the encircling group. Finally, he and Lianyi stood back-to-back and began sweeping through the surrounding mechs.

"The road ahead is fraught with peril. Leaving the battlefield is too dangerous!"

Ouyang said in the channel.

As for who was in danger, they both understood.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of these Star Pirates. Then I'm leaving!"

While rippling back and forth, the sword in hand and the energy blaster didn't stop either. They kept parrying attacks and striking down space pirates.

Within less than half an hour, OuYang's crisis was resolved. The ripples controlled mech immediately left. At this time, the situation on the battlefield had become very chaotic, and the pirates' mechs were still pouring into the fight. The reinforced mech squad was also struggling hard.

Ripples moved across the battlefield, seeing the assembled mechs struggling in battle, she would lend a helping hand, then quickly help them find a partner. She didn't know how many of her classmates would survive this battle, but she would do everything she could to help them.

As the mecha at the base were shot down one by one, a squad of pirate mecha was searching on the ground for the fallen stationary mecha. Apparently they hadn't found the person they were looking for and were conducting a carpet search. Lianyi frowned, immediately descended, and charged towards the squad.

"Nina, where are you Come help me, my mech is destroyed!"

Nina, who was being searched for by underage students, heard Leo's call in the channel. She rolled her eyes with some displeasure, but still replied patiently:

"Boss, where are you I'll come find you right now. People here haven't found that group of students yet, no idea where they've gone!"

As he finished speaking, he raised his hand and fired a shot, killing the wounded base mecha soldier. He then turned towards the next crashed mecha.

Just as she turned, Ripples manipulated the mecha and dove down from above. Using her momentum, she thrust a sword into the control center of the red mecha, giving Nina a chill run down her spine.

Nina's mouth spurted blood, trying to say something, but it was too late. Her eyes reflected the purple mech, then gradually dimmed.

"Ian, connect her mech, breach their firewall, I need you to tap into their channel. Let me know if you hear anything."

Liàn yī chuāo léi yào jiàn, lìjí míng lǐ yān.

"Acknowledged. Please wait for three minutes, Ian is connecting!"

Ian immediately began to act.

Ripples didn't originally intend to leave. She had eliminated the small leader of this group of star pirates, and the remaining pirates were now angrily attacking her.

Lei Yao's sword flashed a purple light, and then began a new round of combat. Her fighting spirit was etched into her soul, and with the boost from her equipment, she harvested the lives of the Star Thieves even faster.

After leaving the band of space pirates crippled, she was already surrounded by a squad of mechs. The first to arrive were Kate's team, the three of them flanking Ripples and finishing off any downed mechs.

The subsequent comrades directly obliterated this squad with beam cannons, and were responsible for protecting Ripple from covert attacks.

"Master, I have breached their communication network and can now conduct real-time monitoring!"

"Good!"

"Hongtu, we have two groups that lost contact!"

Kate spoke in a low voice on the mecha channel.

"Do you know where they were last seen I'm going to look for them!"

"The battlefield is too chaotic, I can't determine their final position! There are more and more pirates now! What do we do When will our reinforcements arrive"

Kate gritted her teeth and asked.

"I don't know! If we can't win, we have to be prepared to escape!"

Even Ripples made the worst preparations, she had to protect Hill at all costs.

Hill remained silent, though he had heard every word of the phone call. His eyes were red with emotion.

A deafening boom echoed across the barracks. first time to be a matchmaker for wealthy families, so he knew the twists and turns within those families. He readily agreed, and upon his return, only said that he had gone to the village to make a...
